This place is set in a world of its own; unhurried, elegant and in perfect harmony with nature. The combination of jungle, polished concrete, minimalist design and functionality (complete with endless house accessories incl. surboards) offers a sense of comfort and tranquility that's hard to find. The result is pretty, um, stellar. I'm lounging by the pool with a book in hand, overlooking the Pacific and listening to Thievery Corp on the surround sound system. The walls of fold-back glass doors are open to the jungle and I can feel the ocean breeze and hear the monkeys. Perched on a hill, the house is away from the crowds and yet just a quick ride away from the coffee and sushi boutiques alive with a vibrant Tico culture. I came here to study for my exams and was a bit apprehensive about the remoteness of the house but Mike arranged for bulletproof security: house alarm system, Eduardo on-call, Coloches, the poodle and Rente, the mini pinscher. I'm not sure who protected who but we're all relaxed-out and feeling high (on life, not on ganja). Mike was just a phone call away in case I needed anything and he followed-up with me closely to make sure I felt comfortable. Despite my worthless Spanish, Eduardo, Google translate and I made things happen. He also came to rescue me after I drove my ATV into a ditch. Yoga and Sushi at Pranamar were kickass, massage at the spa and surfing filled in most of my hours when I wasn't studying. Check out the starts at night, hot sauce at Zula, dinner at Milarepa and hit up the library of 200+ movies. There's a mystery about this place you can't capture in words so you'll just have to come and see for yourself - you will not be disappointed. Thanks for everything Mike, Eduardo and Lucia! Till next time… Martina, Toronto, Canada |
Guestbook for Casa Blanca
We were looking for something peaceful and removed from the typical hotel/resort experience. What a great find this was! On the short flight from San Jose the scenery was beautiful. Water, mountains, islands; flying to paradise. Upon arrival in Tambor, with one runway and a metal roofed shelter, we knew the everyday world was behind us: time to relax and enjoy. The rental car company was there to pick us up and soon we were on our way. The roads are an experience in themselves. You will know what I mean when you get there…..it really adds to the adventure. On the last part of the drive, up the hill to the house, be sure to use 4-wheel drive. When you enter the house you will be amazed by the walls of glass and INCREDIBLE views! The home’s cement and glass construction with doors and furniture made of local hardwoods has the feel of a luxury resort. As you look over the infinity pool, to the ocean beyond you will feel your worries melt away. A master suite that includes a private deck and bath with outdoor shower (awesome!) as well as two additional bedrooms and bath are on the second floor. It was just two of us, but the house would be great for family or friends on vacation as well. Casablanca, with its great location near Mal Pais, Santa Teresa and Playa Carmen, is truly a vacation paradise. We look forward to our next visit! John and Michael
