Charming, Colorful, Fully Furnished Modern Villa With Private Boat Dock
Charming, colorful, fully furnished two-bedroom, two-bathroom modern villa located on riverfront property with a private boat dock. This is Costa Rica at its most stunning and diverse, as it was 20 years ago, yet with all the features and comforts of home!

This is the place for an authentic Costa Rican adventure! Perfect for families, nature lovers, explorers and fishermen. See gorgeous wildlife from your frontbalcony and on trips along the river – scarlet macaws, toucans, spider and howler monkeys, sloths and other incredible species.

The sea is about 30 minutes away by boat. Bass, snook, red snapper, tuna, sailfish and marlin are just a few of the fish you can find, and reasonably priced guides are located in Sierpe village, less than 10 minutes from the house. Your guide can arrange for your catch to be freshly cooked at one of the local open-air restaurants overlooking the river.

Corcovado National Park, one of the most diverse biological corridors in the world, is just a boat ride away. Corcovado is known for its dolphin and whale populations. Cano Island, Drake’s Bay and the Osa peninsula offer stunning snorkeling, diving, and swimming on pristine beaches, as well as guided nature walks for all ages and abilities. You can arrange a tour at any of the local restaurants or through our house manager, Rayna. Rayna is from Virginia but has been in Costa Rica since 2005, speaks fluent Spanish and has lived in Sierpe for years. She can arrange all your tours, including fishing, trips to Corcovado, and fabulous cultural tours of local tribes, where you can learn about and purchase their tribal carved masks, as well as to the mysterious ancient spheres that are found here. If you are interested in turtles, a major conservation area is about 30-40 minutes away, along with a number of stunning Pacific beaches, caves and waterfalls. There's a packet of information at the house, and we'll be happy to share more information on any or all of these options

Sierpe town is not overpopulated with tourists and has retained a safe, friendly atmosphere not often found in the big resort towns.

This is a tropical paradise in a tranquil, scenic location!

    I arrived and the Refrigerator was NOT working. Had to throw out all perishable foods. Owner lives in Africa so communication is Awful. No property manager locally. Just a cleaning lady. NO soap or amenities at all in bathrooms. No dish soap. Nothing.. Terrible property management. Took 24 hours plus to get Wi-Fi password. I DO NOT recommend this owner.

    The information once there was sparse with no local contact. The owner did her best given she was in South Africa. I would say again now that I know how to solve issues like finding the circuit breaker by the road.

    Comfortable with available washer and dryer. Treated to a circus show from the squirrel? monkeys. Saw the town crocodile. Good spot to walk from.

    This property is in a great location for wildlife watching and taking trips. We saw more scarlet macaws in one day than I've seen in 2 decades of travelling Costa Rica. Rayna is a great help and even whatsapped us when a troop of squirrel monkeys were in the trees next to the property. Unfortunately I could only give 3 stars due to the state of the property which is in need of some TLC. The kettle did not work, there was a socket hanging off the wall on bare wires in the master bedroom. There were also bare wires hanging from the wall in the living area. The paintwork is in serious need of a touchup and the windows could do with a clean. If these issues were resolved, it would be a 5 star property.

    I recently stayed there with my husband and baby, we loved the place, very spacious, comfortable, and our host Rayna was the best! Having breakfast and reading a good book on the terrace is simply breathtaking! We will definitely stay there again!

    Very clean and modern place to stay yet away from the crowds! Good place to explore the Osa Peninsula and SW Costa Rica! Rayna, the manager was great at setting up tours and other arrangements!

    We had a good time at Ana’s property. If you are looking for an adventure, Ana’s property is a good place to be. You can go to Drake bay, explore jungle and dive. The caretaker next door will help you to organize some trips . You definitely need a 4 wheel to explore the area. As far as house itself I have a mix feeling. It would be really good, if it would be cleaner. The spiderweb was thick , the window at the kitchen was very dirty, and it was some whater cooler left with water, with the temperature +35 C, you can imagine what was growing there... I personally think that whoever is in charge of looking after the place in Ana’s absence not doing a good job. Having said that, if this issue would be taking care of, the house itself, the way Ana communicates with her guests and location itself is good.

    Loved sitting on the veranda with coffee and breakfast, then a drink in the evening watching all the wildlife and birds! The place was perfect for us! Thanks Rayna for all your help arranging tours, etc.
