Casa la Ostra, Puntarenas, Costa Rica - Costa Rica | Casa La Ostra

Casa La Ostra (The Oyster house) is most identified by the very warm feeling you get when you enter. It's great for families that prefer a more home-like feel. It was lavishly decorated by an interior designer with upscale furniture and modern amenities including central air conditioning. And, it's only a few steps to Playa Hermosa, one of the most consistent surf breaks in Costa Rica and home to many international surfing events. Here you're away from the crowds of Jaco in the secure gated community of Hermosa Palms.

The house has a wonderful outdoor area with plenty of seating. There is a gas grill, dining table and lounge chairs next to a delicious plunge pool. There are several foldable beach chairs available. If you would like a larger pool try the huge pool that is part of the beach club, only a few steps away.

Downstairs, the living room's plush sofa and chairs are soft and cushy, perfect for socializing in the evening. For entertainment there is a wide-screen TV with DVD player and a stereo system with CD player.

The bedrooms are all located upstairs. The master bedroom boasts a king size bed, TV with DVD player, a walk-in closet and a large bathroom with 2 sinks and oversized shower. The second bedroom has a queen bed and the third bedroom has two twins, great for children. These two bedrooms share a large bathroom with separate bathtub and shower.

Situated on the third floor, the sundeck is excellent to achieve that perfect tan in total privacy or just to gaze at the sunset or stars with your favorite drink. Screened sliding glass doors allow you to enjoy the ocean breeze comfortably while inside. Black out curtains let you sleep a few extra uninterrupted hours. Ceiling fans are available if you don't wish to use the air conditioning.
