Casa Escapada... near beaches, in the village yet surrounded by nature.

Casa Escapada awaits you. Surround yourself with sounds of nature yet be in the village. The property is fenced with entrance gate, very private, parking for two cars inside gate and jungle on three sides. You will find Casa Escapada immaculate and very well maintained. Not only are there many birds, butterflies and hummingbirds but we are very fortunate to be on a Morpho trail and most mornings you will see two or more Morpho butterflies come through the gardens. Mid day a refreshing mountain breeze comes through the porcelain tile terrace while you relax in a hammock or swim in the ceramic tile salt water pool.

There are numerous beautiful beaches along the coast with the first, Playa Tortuga, only one mile from the house. Playa Tortuga is home to the turtle reserve, Reserve Playa Tortuga. Next, heading north, is Playa Ventanas, Ojochal's own beach, which is very picturesue with shady palms and sea cave. Then comes Playa Bellena which is a protected marine park and home to humpback whales during their mating season. And many more beaches continuing along the coast.

A few minutes drive up Calle Perozoso you will find two elegant restaurants where you can enjoy amazing sunsets. Azul at El Casello or Bamboo Room at Alma... or you can go to a close by beach and sit on a log with your own beverage for a different view.

Food is what makes Ojochal special. It is a culinary destination packed with adventure. Besides Azul and Bamboo Room there are other culinary eaterys to include Exotica, Citrus, Ylang Ylang and more.

The adventure can include snorkeling or diving at Cano Island, white water rafting, zip lining, ATV treks, sea kayaking, deep sea fishing, hiking, horseback riding or calmer, no less enjoyable, things such as walking the Whales's Tail at Playa Ballena, whale and dolphin watching, visiting an animal rescue, watching turtles hatch and make their first trek to the sea, walking the beach or just observing nature from the terrace.

Great little house with amazing yard and awesome kitchen amenities!
We stayed at Casa Escapada for a month and had a really great stay. It was close enough to stores that we were able to not have a car and still be able to get groceries etc. The pool was perfect for the kids, and the yard is expansive and private. We cooked almost all our own meals and the kitchen here had everything we needed which is rare for a vacation rental. We saw blue morphos nearly every day. A great base for exploring this beautiful part of the country! The traffic from the street was a little loud during certain times of the day, but not bad, and goes along with being in a central location on the paved road. Highly recommend!

Little paradise
We spent 10 lovely days in Casa Escapada and we highly recommend the house. The description is very accurate, the communication before and during our stay with Lee Ann was quick, unproblematic and direct. Check-In and Check-Out went smoothly. Her written manual inside the house has plenty of good recommendations about the area - it was very helpful. Our boys loved the pool, the animals in the garden and the wonderful beaches.

Beautiful, simple & comfortable home in paradise!
We really enjoyed our month-long stay at Casa Escapada. Lee Ann has decorated and equipped her home to provide the simple, necessary comforts, fitting in very well with south-east Costa Rica's natural environment. The garden areas which she has developed surrounding the home are beautiful and an attraction for many birds and butterflies. The saltwater pool was a refreshing big-plus, both when we hung-out at home for the day and after a day spent out-and-about taking in the many area attractions. Lee Ann herself was a pleasure to communicate with regarding the rental transaction, recommendations for local vendors and attractions and regional sights and excursions. We would definitely stay at Casa Escapada when we visit south-west Costa Rica again!
