- "Exceeded my expectations. They hooked me up with ride service (Cesar) that i am using for the rest of my transports. And will use again. Would definitely go again" - "New facilities. Very secluded. Amazing views. Wonderful service. " - "Excellent service and beautiful place " - "The pool, beds and space on the property are excellent. The kitchen is small but functional although missing some common amenities (i.e. dish towels). You can tell and appreciate that the construction is new and in relatively solid shape. There were a few items where the quality of the craftmanship was less than ideal. For example, the kitchen sink did not drain water (without debris) properly and there was a bathroom fixture that was loose. One other minor issue, even though the area is up on a hill with a beautiful view, you can hear an ample amount of road noise from cars and trucks. Even with those minor issues, the place was one that I would highly recommend to future guests."

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 excellent restaurants are all within easy walking distance. The beach is just down a (steep) 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.
*** Answers to some FAQs:
LOCATION: You would fly into the Costa Rican international airport in either San Jose or Liberia. From there you have various options to get to Montezuma: from San Jose, a shuttle service costs approx $55 per person and takes approx 5.5 hours; for example with Interbus Online or Zuma Tours. A domestic flight to Cóbano with Costa Rica Green Airways or Sansa (20 minutes) followed by a 10-minute taxi ride to my Casita near Montezuma. Or, a rental car either from San Jose airport (for example with Enterprise), or from Cóbano (with Budget).
From Liberia the transfer takes approximately 3.5 hours by car. Shuttle transport is available with Tropical Tours Shuttle Services.
GROCERIES: There are two grocery stores in Montezuma. They stock pretty much everything one might need. Also, every Saturday there is an organic produce market in Montezuma.
MEDICAL: A medical emergency service is available in Montezuma. A hospital, pharmacies, doctors and dentists are available in the next biggest town Cóbano, about 10 minutes drive away.
- "Breathtaking view and excellent location. Make sure to visit Butterfly Brewing Co!" - "We truly loved the Casita with a gorgeous view and small pool overlooking the bay. It’s perfect for a couple who wants to relax and still have access to what Montezuma and the surrounding has to offer." - "Right from booking Lokita went above and beyond by sharing local recommendations, including all things from food to activities. We went to numerous restaurants recommended and loved each one, also going horse back riding that was suggested. The casita had everything we needed and provided us a safe and secure stay in paradise. We were greeted upon arrival and had all the information needed for our stay. The location was better than expected and a close walk away from a waterfall hike. We felt safe and very content in this casita. We would stay again and again here. You can hear the sound of howler monkeys and birds from the porch, a true pura vida experience. Thank you for hosting us!"

The cottage is build under huge trees and next to the pool, facing East for terrific ocean views, and to catch the ocean breeze. Large verandas make this place perfect to relax after a long day at the beach. French windows bring light, and the green of the surrounding jungle inside. Its white interior complemented by teak wood wall and art, truly reflect the owner’s ideas for beach comfort. The open floor layout allows for easy and comfortable indoor-outdoor living.

The cottage uses a shared parking below the pool area.
The property’s two villas Ginger and Cacao are located at the opposite side of the pool area. High ceilings, hardwood floors, massive wooden doors, and large decks complete the villas’ elegant furnishings.
Villa Cacao has fantastic ocean, and jungle views from all rooms. It has one master suit with en-suite full bath, with indoor and outdoor showers. The fully equipped kitchen has a bar that connects it with the large ocean view deck. The sitting area is beautifully furnished with two individual sofa beds that set for comfortable sleeping. This part of the villa has its own full bath.
The villa shares the parking bellow the cottage. A private path takes you to the beautiful pool area.
Villa Ginger is nested into the surrounding jungle with views of it from every single window and deck. The villa has two air conditioned bedrooms with queen size beds, one full bathroom with jungle views, fully equipped kitchen with dining area, porch and two decks. The large front deck has a comfortable sitting, and dining area under umbrellas. Ginger has its own parking space at the front. A minute walk on paved path will take you to the pool area.
The beautiful pool area, surrounded by jungle and landscaped gardens, includes a pool pavilion with swinging daybeds, and a leisure area with chaises and umbrellas. The pool area is the perfect spot to see large families of capuchin and howling monkeys raiding the treetops, and to observe the amazing toucans on nearby fruit trees.
The property is interesting to explore. It consists of authentic tropical jungle with bromelia gardens added around each house, and plants with lots of colors and fragrance. The numerous cacao trees and ginger plants inspired the name, “Ginger & Cacao”.
The property is maintained by caretakers. For your service and convenience, they reside in a separate cottage on the property grounds by the gate.
"Ginger & Cacao” is perfectly located at just short walk to Punta Uva Beach, one of the most striking in Costa Rica. A rare place still kept as natural as possible, with a minimum negative impact of over-development. Here is where the jungle meets the white sand beach with its emeralds waters and the almond trees to provide a natural shade. It’s not crowded and is safe for swimming, kayaking and snorkeling.
In Punta Uva one feels the complete connection with nature. There is nothing more beautiful than to get on a bicycle and go for an early morning ride to Gandoca- Manzanillo Wildlife Refuge. At this time of the day, there is so much life and activity in the jungle. Howling monkeys call from the tree tops, butterflies and birds fly around searching for food.
Punta Uva is a very private area, removed from the traffic and congestion in areas closer to Puerto Viejo. There are a few excellent restaurants, and grocery stores. Within only a 10 min drive, if you choose, you can quickly get to Puerto Viejo.
At night, the action happens in Puerto Viejo. It might look a bit shabby, but give it some time and it will grow on you. At night, the somewhat sleepy village turns vibrant, full of life and music, with the smell of food coming from all directions. Ocean-front bars blast reggae and calypso. Shops stay open till late hours.
The White Cottage, individually and as part of the “Ginger & Cacao” property, offers an elegant and safe place to stay in the jungle, and more importantly, it invites you for memorable experience of theCaribbean Costa Rica.
Hope to see you soon!
Best,
Zvezda
- "My wife and I had a wonderful 9 nights at the white cottage. The pool was perfect, nice and cool and very clean which can be difficult in the jungle with the rain etc. Location was great, very close to many great restaurants. You are close to one of the best beaches in CR arrecife. Ceasar was lovely, it's clear they take incredible care of the property. highly recommend the cottage for couples." - "Everything was incredible. The owner is dedicated to customer satisfaction. Excellent foresite for issues that may arise. I ran out of propane while cooking supper, then contacted Jose at the gate and he brought a full bottle up within a few minutes. Excellent perception on the behalf of the host. The grounds are beautifully landscaped and the birds are especially plentiful. Outstanding property and host."

You can cook meals and prepare picnics in your own home away from home.. The beach is less than a five minute walk from the guest house.
- "Our host was kind enough to meet us at our boat to Drake Bay and helped us with information about the area. The place was clean and comfortable, it looked out on a reserve where we were immersed in the rainforest sights and sounds. We had a lovely time." - "Right from the time of booking to our departure, our hosts provided guidance and support to make the most of our stay. Mario was on the beach to meet us as we arrived by boat from Sierpe and he made arrangements with a collectivo taxi to take us to Palmar Norte on our way out. The casita is beautiful, spacious and comfortable. Toucans flew in as we arrived and I could see monkeys in the trees while I was showering. I would recommend this lovely place for a couple or small family, as there is a third bed in the bedroom. And I would probably book 5 nights rather than three. There is so much to see and do here. Wished we had more time to walk the coastline trail to Playa Josecito. The only word of caution would be for those who are interested in snorkelling at Isola Cano. It was the attack of the jelly fish. Wetsuits are highly recommended if you want to avoid the stings."

Also, the owner, Shelley, kindly stayed up to greet us upon our late arrival and was available by phone for any questions or concerns. The property is close to town, local beaches, parks/hiking, restaurants, grocery. We typically ate breakfast, enjoyed coffee and tea on the patio near the pool or under the rancho, then went out and about in the morning and early afternoon to explore and spent afternoon and evenings at the casita where we swam in our pool, read books, played cards, prepared meals in our outdoor kitchen and just RELAXED in the privacy of our own little paradise.

- "Arriving from the mountains this was a great place to warm up. The beach was virtually ours and was wide, clean and wavy! Location really is superb. The communication throughout some problematic travel and plan changes was first class and understanding. I hate to think how long the hosts rep waited for us but he was there on a delayed arrival. The house is modern and very clean, backing directly onto the palm lined beach. Make sure you take condiments and cooking spices, but otherwise the kitchen is well equipped. Just the one lounger and no beach chairs so bring what you need for hanging out on the beach. Overall, very highly recommended for a peaceful chill out with the surf soundtrack."

One of our last guest said: " if you don't like this you don't like anything".
We have to say, it is for nature lovers.
Feel the breeze end enjoy the amazing view 300 ft. above the Pacific Ocean. At night you can see perfectly the stars. The cabin is made with antics what gives it his unique warm touch.
One would find us in the tiny and graceful land: Costa Rica. We are at the tip of "Playa Manchas Azules" in the border of Montezuma and Delicias towns, where the sunrise softly awakes one skin when time comes to show. The South part of Nicoyan Peninsula embraces pristine beaches such us: Montezuma, Playa Grande, Cocalito, Cabuya, Santa Teresa, Mal Pais, Playa Hermosa, Manzanillo and more. All beaches with its own character and presence, some with calm and relaxing waters and others no matter what moon shines in the sky, they show their powerful will. Some even well know Internationally for surfing conquest. Delicias and Montezuma's town got bless by its aquifers and waterfalls formations decided to make their presence here, adorning the scenery and refreshing the visitors and the surroundings. According to some locals it could be around 70 waterfalls of all sizes, most of them hidden in the wilderness. We made a guideline booklet for our clientele of the Do's while in the area. They are plenty of activities to engage with. From a bioluminescence experience in Curu, to snorkeling in Tortuga Island, getting Yoga classes, paddle boarding, cycling, kayaking, fishing, diving, horse back riding, Spanish lessons, swimming, hiking, ATV riding, canopying, jumping into the waterfalls, exploring the rivers upstream, photographing, bird watching, fresh see food enjoyment. Our cliff nest has been sculptured with lots of love and patience over the years. First a recompilation of antics: wood, post, doors and windows for recycling purposes took place and then the Restoration of the pieces before taking the challenge to design were and how we wanted them to get alive again. We did all the details, icons and tile work one would find in Montezuma Heights and a well known Costa Rican artist Enrique Hidalgo shows his art imprint as well. If one visits us would get embrace by an outrages sunrises and taking a short cut in 30 minutes would get the ephemeral company of and stunning sunset in the other side of the Nicoyan Peninsula.

Property was truly beautiful and extremely comfortable—furniture, beds, well-stocked kitchen, outdoor furniture, WIFI, Roku were all fabulous. Daily check-ins from the property manager contained restaurant and activity recommendations, and daily housekeeping kept everything clean and straightened up. View from the covered patio was breathtaking. Thank you for an incredible stay!"
My place has fantastic views of the Golfo Dulce where you can find dolphins, humpback whales and sea turtles. You’ll love this simple open structure because of the feeling of being alone in nature with many fruits to pick at from the surrounding forest while watching wildlife pass by like monkeys, parrots and toucans. My place is great for couples and solo travelers with a good level of fitness.
