Casa Verde

Three-bedroom open-air wood house at Cabo Matapalo with ocean views in front and rainforest behind, a wraparound furnished lanai, and a spring-fed shared pool. It runs on solar power and is genuinely remote: an off-road vehicle is needed year-round, and you bring your own groceries.

The space

Find yourself in paradise at this two-story, open-air beach house. Enjoy ocean views in one direction and tropical rainforests in the other, all viewable from inside and outside this cozy getaway. This elevated, contemporary wood home features a wraparound, furnished lanai, a spring-fed shared pool, landscaped grounds, and easy beach access just steps away.

A 4x4 vehicle is necessary all year round.

Make sure to bring your food and groceries, no stores or supermarkets close to this area.

This home produces its own electricity from solar-powered panels and stores excess power in batteries located at the home.

What's nearby:

This region offers fishing, hiking, cycling, jungle zip-lining, and white water rafting. Walk out to the King Louis Waterfall just steps from this resort or head out on a guided jungle expedition to get up close to native wildlife including monkeys, anteaters, and macaws. Everyone can soak up the sun on some of the local beaches while the experienced surfers in your party can challenge the turbulent waters along the toe of the Osa Peninsula's boot. And for delicious meals, be sure to visit restaurant ENCANTA LA VIDA, located just a little over two miles up the coast.
