What’s New at the Casas

Many new items: new super comfy pillow-top mattresses in all the houses - nicer than those foam rubber pads in many hotels and vacation homes. Also added toaster ovens, high-count cotton sheets, a barbecue for the Rancho counter and a refrigerator in the Rancho. Plus new hard wood cabinets - by our local woodworker Yens - to replace some open shelving in the kitchens. Also other amenities like a hammock, folding chairs, beach mats, beach towels, Frisbees, ice chests and blue ice to take to the beach. A shade cloth over the pool.. We try hard to make your stay comfortable and carefree .

Guests receive a Welcome Basket Costa Rican coffee, cream and sugar, 100% orange juice, cookies, Costa Rica’s famous Salsa Lizano and a small  glass fused gift.

Many new plantings include Cordelaine, Croton, Papaya, Noni and coffee. An Agave has decided to go to seed - happens only every few years.  When we bought the property in 2000, it was dried grass. A little water to go along with the sun and the trees and lush plants that have come in 9 years have been amazing to watch. Monkeys can actually cross the property now.

● Our new glass fusing kiln arrived. We make fused glass art pieces. If interested in a

  private lesson Contact Us. Make a keepsake of your Costa Rican vacation.

● There’s our new puppy Miga looking for something to chase.

● Lavae continues to volunteer teaching English to the kids at Santo Domingo School.

● Samara finally has a recycling program started so that we can separate plastics and other recyclables out of the garbage stream. Also spent batteries and used appliances are being taken . Great news for the village.

● New culvert at the street entrance. Just completed is a new culvert at the entrance to the property to handle the gush of water that sometimes comes down the street in a Costa Rican rain storm.
