Recline on the cool wrap-around newly renovated Living/Dining area and watch toucans, sloths and blue butterflies in the one-acre private tropical gardens of Casa Bella. Splash around in the 7 X 12 meter saltwater swimming pool. Lounge on the covered pool deck. Grill on the 40" gas BBQ. Looking for unique activities? Ask about Salsa Lessons by the pool, unusual culinary experiences brought to you, chocolate spa treatments or chocolate making experiences, beach bonfires, kayaking or SUPing, night snorkeling, jungle hikes, waterfalls, tea ceremonies, breathwork/meditation/yoga by the pool... we can help plan your perfect vacation! This recently built house combines the comforts of western living with the ease of the Caribbean indoor/outdoor style. Tropical hardwoods, beautiful design and modern amenities make Casa Bella an ideal destination. From the airy and bright living room/dining room you enter the spacious modern kitchen, with its full-sized fridge, stove/oven and double sink. The kitchen comes equipped with cookware and dishware. On the main floor there are two bedrooms with queen sized beds, private ensuite bathrooms with hot water showers, fans, and shelving for storing clothing . Go up the external spiral staircase from the pool-side deck to a breezy loft that can be added to accommodate 2-5 more people. At the top of the loft's spiral stairs is a wide balcony where you can recline in a hammock and take in the canopy view. Inside the loft is an open living area with queen-sized bed, kitchenette, safe, fan, closet and three piece bathroom. There are also three single beds, perfect for kids. Just across the pool from Casa Bella are Casita Bonita and Casita Sol. Newly renovated! Casita Bonita (2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms) has a kitchen on the deck and two suites, each with a queen bed, a sitting area with a comfortable love seat and chair, wall sconces and overhead lighting, and a bathroom (sleeps 4). UPDATED PICTURES COMING SOON!! Casita Sol has one bedroom (queen bed and single bed), one bathroom, a full kitchen, and hammock-strung second-story balcony (sleeps 3). A tropical sanctuary, the lot at Casa Bella has fruit trees, flowering bushes, palm trees, ylang-ylang, open spaces and shady zones. We often have howler monkeys and sloths visiting, and if you look up you can catch a parrot or toucan party in our trees, or see the macaws flapping by. The house is on both municipal and well water systems. Water is abundant and clean. There is parking for up to 4 cars at the rear of the house. From the lot is a 3 minute walk to the public access path to Playa Chiquita Beach, rated the best (and prettiest) beach on this coast! The path is another 2-3 minute walk down to the beach. Playa Chiquita Beach is sheltered by an off-shore reef making sections of it a kid-friendly place to swim. With series of sandy coves you can splash and swim, or wade and wallow in the coral fringed pools that decorate the points. Centrally located in Playa Chiquita Village, near groceries and restaurants, Casa Bella is tucked away in its private spot a mere 1 minute walk from the main road. We are at our house across the road at a nearby property and happy to help you find what you need in Playa Chiquita and beyond. We are very approachable and full of local knowledge. Playa Chiquita is minutes from Puerto Viejo, Limon. People come here all year round to view wildlife and experience the Caribbean culture through music, food, and the colorful character of the region. Playa Chiquita is a small village 5 km south of Puerto Viejo de Limon. We are famous for having the most beautiful and serene beaches on the coast. You can stroll down the coast in either direction all the way to Puerto Viejo, Manzanillo, and beyond along unpopulated stretches of beach. El Duende Gourmet, the grocer 5 minutes walk from Casa Bella, is fully stocked with dry goods, dairy, meat, fresh produce, cold beer and a good selection of wine and liquor. Check out the fresh baked goods by the entrance. Bread, croissants, pan au chocolate, donuts, pita, strudels, pizzas, and empanandas delivered fresh daily! There are 8+ restaurants in Playa Chiquita. Our favorites are Pura Gula, Gypsea Cafe and Lounge, and the two woodfire pizza restaurants! A little further down the coast toward Puerto Viejo is Spicy Coconut, a new favorite with excellent fusion food, great location on the beach, and fantastic service. There are two bike rental shops, and on Saturdays and Wednesdays there is a fresh produce market, as well as a couple of pop up produce stands where local farmers sell their wares. ## Property amenities ### Pool/Spa - Outdoor pool - Private pool ### Internet - Available in the house: WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Electric kettle - Kitchen island - Kitchenette - Oven - Refrigerator - Spices - Stovetop ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 6 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 6 bathrooms - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Living room ### Entertainment - Books ### Outdoor areas - Balcony - Barbecue grill - Fenced yard - Garden - Outdoor furniture ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Work spaces - Desk - Desk chair ### Comfort - Air conditioning ### Pets - Pet friendly - 2 pets total (up to 50 lbs per pet) ### Suitability/Accessibility - Designated smoking areas - Note from host: Only outside. ### Services and conveniences - Housekeeping (limited availability) - Safe ### Location highlights - In a village - Near a health/beauty spa - Near the sea ### Things to do - Bicycles - Basketball nearby - Birdwatching nearby - Ecotours nearby - Fishing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Horseback riding nearby - Kayaking nearby - Motor boating nearby - Mountain biking nearby - Parasailing nearby - Rafting nearby - Sailing nearby - Scuba diving nearby - Snorkeling nearby - Surfing/bodyboarding nearby - Swimming nearby - Wildlife walks nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a smoke detector on the property) ### General - Bicycles - Garden ## Policies ### Check-in Check-in time starts at 4:00 PM Minimum check-in age: 30 ### Check-out Check-out before 11:00 AM ### Special check-in instructions You will receive an email from the host with check-in and check-out instructions ### Rules No loud music any time, no music at all, or excess noise after 10pm.

Like any place you would stay in a tropical climate, there are also bugs, critters, etc. both inside and outside of the houses! Erinn, Melvin and the cleaning crew were easy to work with and kind. Easy to walk to the grocery store, restaurants, and the beach as well! A wonderful stay for all of us! ##### Chelsea F. Stayed 7 nights in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Autumn H.

Plenty of room, two air-conditioned bedrooms, laundry room, magnificent pool which was nice to come home to each day and cool off and relax. Cahuita was warm and humid while we were there so having a place to back to and unwind was soooo nice. Erinn is a great host and had some great recommendations but also let us do our own thing. Convenient to restaurants, beaches, grocery store, bikes, which we used a ton. (Bikes are right behind the grocery store). We did not have a car but next time I think I would rent one and make the drive. I highly recommend this place! ##### Byron L. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Yvonne A.

Agouti visited daily, we heard howler monkeys, saw a sloth on our walk back from breakfast, and the enjoyed the beautiful sounds of all the birds. We were a little concerned about lack of air conditioning but we were pleasantly surprised. The pool kept us cool during the day and the open air bedrooms with the fans actually got a bit chilly. It was wonderful sleeping to the sounds and fresh air. The house is well stocked, close to the beach, close to the best breakfast at Gypsea and fresh, warm croissants delivered each morning to the local market just down the street. Puerto Viejo and Punta UVA are a short drive, as well as Manzillo Reserve. Erinn did a great job recommending Abel for us as a guide hiking Manzillo - we saw and learned so much, She recommended Herschel for surfing - he was amazing and Jason cooked us 2 great dinners! We relaxed and enjoyed our stay. Don’t let the lack of air conditioning keep you away from this property.
