Set above Playa Montezuma in a lush, private tropical garden with spectacular ocean views and gentle sea breezes, this is a quiet haven for relaxation and rejuvenation. The private self-contained Casita with plunge pool and sundeck has king bed, beautiful large bathroom, and kitchenette.
Monkeys, pizotes and toucans are regular visitors! The beach, the famous Montezuma waterfall and excellent restaurants are close by.
DETAILS
The Space
The Casita was built in 2014 to accommodate visiting family, friends and coaching clients. It is cozy, quiet and luxurious.
Imagine this - arriving at the property you come to a plateau of tropical plants. You will walk past the main house, the ocean to your left. Past the owners' private swimming pool and yoga deck, you will come to a tropical path that leads to the Casita. There you will see papaya trees, helaconias and ginger plants, flowering, colorful bushes and palm trees. The private outdoor patio with its hammocks gives way to amazing expansive views of the tropical foliage below and the ocean.
The private plunge pool at the Casita invites you to cool off 24/7 and enjoy the magnificent ocean views and starry nights in tropical splendor.
The undercover patio offers al fresco dining at a beautiful handmade table and chairs from local wood, and a fully equipped kitchenette. Wide sliding doors open the Casita bedroom with its large, comfy king bed, its small inbuilt desk, and at the far end the bathroom.
OTHER INFORMATION
*The Property
The property comprises of 2 acres with the Casita set separately at the far end of the property. There are also the owners' residence with its private swimming pool, reserved for them or those staying at their home; a building with lodging for their private guests, and a nursery. The garden has an abundance of tropical foliage.
The entire property is fenced, and a remote-controlled locked gate at the bottom of the driveway offers added security. The structures are not visible from the road, hence very private and safe.
* Nearby
The Casita is located in Delicias, on a cliff above the small bohemian beach town of Montezuma. The immediate neighborhood offers various adventures - the canopy tour, Montezuma waterfall, the butterfly farm, and an excellent restaurant, are all within easy walking distance. The beach is just down the hill, and the town is about 1km from the property.
* Other Things to Note
The Casita is a vacation rental and not a full-service hotel with round-the-clock personnel. Guests are responsible for keeping the Casita clean during their stay, and for handling their own luggage. For stays of more than 6 nights, there will be a change of sheets and towels and a basic cleaning service at no extra cost halfway through the week. The private plunge pool at the Casita is cleaned every other day. A skimmer net is supplied so that guests can skim off anything that may have fallen into the pool inbetween pool service times.
The Casita is available for a minimum of 2 nights and a maximum of 14 nights.
Much of the year I live in the main house with my 13-year old canine doghter Coco who is very chilled-out, friendly and trained. She is free to roam the property, and may come by for a visit or two during your stay to make sure all is well with you and to give and receive some love.
