Ojochal

Our home is a small 2 bedroom located on an acreage, with large outdoor living areas...cause we live outside, in the near perfect temperatures of the mountains above Ojochal, Costa Rica.

Ojochal is a small village on the Pacific Coast of Costa Rica. Our home is 5 miles off the Costanera Highway, into the Coastal Mountain range.

We have laying hens, 2 dogs and a cat to be looked after.
We have good internet, because I work online.
We are on 2 acres of gardens, with lemon trees, banana plants, yucca, etc. and amazing jungle views of parrots, monkeys, etc. A tranquil bit of paradise in a National Geographic setting!

You do need to rent a car for doing this house sit and rental cars in Costa Rica are not cheap. I can help you to get the best deal!!

Must speak English!

These dates are when we need to drive to San Jose, to catch our plane the next day. It is best if you arrive 1 day prior, to learn about our property and animals, and leave the day we arrive back home or the next day.

The yard, the huge terrace, the stunning jungle around you make our home a gift to your eyes!

We have 2 dogs – Molly and Sadie; a watch cat – Otis; and some laying hens. The hens, our extermination system, give us fresh free-range eggs and keep the yard free of bugs. Otis, the watch cat, keeps the rodents under control and the dogs, our security system guards the acreage and keeps the hens off the decks! They both take their jobs very seriously!

Your responsibilities are to feed all the critters – cat and dogs twice per day. Chickens are fed once per day and let out of their yard midday- ish (after they lay their eggs), and locked in their house at sunset, or when you get home from the Mona Grita, a local expat hangout with good, food and cold Imperial!

Our pets are really pretty simple to look after... they don't need or ask for a lot of attention. Acreage living keeps them busy and fit! Molly and Sadie will need their back scrubs and a few pets throughout the day and at dusk they help close the doors to the chicken coop and get special treats!.

The jungle life is abundant with animals, birds... monkeys will wake you up each morning at 5:00 ish! The views are stunning, of the jungle and the mountains surrounding our home. You are a short 15 minute drive from local beaches, and towns.

Everything is a drive from our house, too far and too steep to walk! You will need to rent a car for this house sit. I will assist you to get the best price available!

The pool is always refreshing! Tranquillity and nature at it's best!

No need for AC, the fresh mountain breezes keep our home at a perfect temperature!
Our decor is rustic, jungle ... bamboo. The house is "Old Spanish Villa" in the jungle.

You will need to rent a car.... we are 6 miles into the mountains, and our car will be with us in San Jose. Having your own car will make exploring this beautiful part of Costa Rica more fun!

Swim in waterfalls, explore beaches, great restaurants, etc. Visit the amazing Baruca spheres,, the museum at Finca 6, the Baruca reserva, have lunch in Sierpe on the river, explore the caves at Tortuga and Ventana beaches, etc!

I have a booklet I have written of activities and things to do in this area... all of the many beautiful beaches are described, how to get to the water falls, where and what restaurants are here. it will be at the house for you!

Play Ventanas with it's caves, Vergel Waterfalls, Playa Tortuga for the Scarlet macaws, etc.

Bamboo Room and the Mona Grita on Fridays at 5 are "must" do, as a local expat hangout with great food and amazing live music!

Our area is known as the Culinary Capital of Costa Rica! There are many great restaurants to choose from!
