Short Description
Newly Remodeled with great location close to golf, beaches and Ojochal
Description
This newly remodeled home is perfectly located in San Buenaventura and only 2 km (1mile) from the Costanera Highway, with paved roads except the last 200 meters. No 4x4 vehicles needed to get here - which is rare in this area.
Casa Kingfisher was newly renovated with a new couch (ignore the comments on the old reviews), a work desk, outdoor table in the backyard near the pool, new dishes, cookware, beach towels, etc.
The Owner's Suite has a king-size bed, patio walk-out to the private pool, A/C, ceiling fan, SmartTV, en suite bathroom, shower, toilet and closet.
Bedroom #2 has a queen-sized bed and a single bed, A/C, closets and ceiling fan.
Guests love the breakfast bar and the outdoor, elevated patio, with wonderful mountain views on two sides. It is a wonderful place to watch the sunrise.
Only 15 minutes to some of Costa Rica's most beautiful beaches (including Playa Ventanas), Playa Tortuga and the famous turtle sanctuary/learning center, private hiking on-site, 3km walk to nearby waterfall.
Casa Kingfisher has two (2) Smart TV's. One in the living room/sala and one in the master suite. They have access to Netflix and YouTube and other applications (each renter must use their own personal login credentials).
Home is located inside Villas San Buenas, which is located next door to Osa Golf Course. Osa Golf Course has clubs and carts for rent and is an enjoyable and challenging golf course.
Interaction
Osa Property Management’s Concierge and Vacation Planner team will contact you within 24 hours of the reservation being made. We will arrange all excursions/activities/tours with reputable companies in the area, provide a link for grocery delivery, and make reservations at any restaurant. Our goal is to make your trip to Costa Rica enjoyable and as relaxing as you want it to be.
We will assist with making any necessary transportation arrangements from Juan Santamaria International Airport in San Jose (SJO), or one of the local regional airports. Palmar Sur is closest (~30 minutes) and has one flight per day in/out of San Jose, while Quepos is approximately 60 minutes from San Buenaventura and has multiple flights per day on either Sansa Airlines or private charters.
Neighborhood
San Buenaventura de Osa is quaint, friendly and safe neighborhood. As one of our guests once told us, "This is the authentic Costa Rica experience." There is a convenience store in San Buenas (called 'pulparias') where guests can buy any essential item (soda, juice, milk, bread, razors, toothpaste, toothbrush, napkins, etc), a Catholic Church and several schools.
Please drive slowly as there are many children in the community. Also, don't be surprised to see a cow or a horse in the road, or a monkey or toucan in the trees.
San Buenaventura is located 10 minutes south of Ojochal (and all of their amazing restaurants) and approximately 15 minutes south of Uvita.
It is also located 15 minutes north of Palmar Norte/Palmar Sur. Palmar Norte has several large supermarkets, pharmacies and shopping. Palmar Sur has daily flights to/from San Jose
