Private property with pool and fantastic views

Come and enjoy the experience of living in a tiny village in the hills of the Central Pacific Coast called San Miguelito, Puntarenas, Costa Rica. Over 90 years ago this property was once part of a bigger lot owned by the Prince and Princess of Prussia and has a rich background in biodiversity.

The property itself features two residential houses inside a lush green 1/2 acre compound surrounded by a garden filled with palm trees. It also has a BBQ ranch with grill, private infinity swimming pool, jacuzzi and a breathtaking view of the Pacific Ocean and Nicoya Bay. Great for a family vacation or a group retreat.

The houses are older construction and have been in a process of improvements and renovations, but provide a beautiful environment and all the necessary comforts needed for a pleasant stay.

Each house has its own fully equipped kitchen, TV with cable, A/C in all bedrooms, wifi, telephone and a security system. The apartment and main house can comfortably accommodate up to 8 people each. (Three rooms have double beds the others have single beds/bunks).

There is open parking for 6-8 cars.

If you want to be away and enjoy your private property with pool, but still be only 20 minutes away from the nearest beach, this is the place to be.

Casa Prusia
La casa tiene áreas sociales muy espaciosas, una mesa enorme para compartir al lado de una piscina hermosa. Los encargados fueron amables y nos respondieron ante dificultades. Sin embargo, la limpieza deja mucho que desear. La limpieza y el mantenimiento pueden mejorar para que la casa y apartamento se mantengan en mejores condiciones.

This could be a beautiful property with some maintenance and cosmetic changes.
The property could be an amazing vacation rental with some cleaning and improvements. Upon arrival we checked the main house and immediately decided not to stay in it!! It could use a major cleaning and only offered on queen bed in the upstairs room. The other two were bunk beds. The patio furniture and patio was dust and leaf covered and didn’t look like it had been cleaned for months. We then checked out the upper apartment which was 48 stairs up from the main house and that’s where we stayed. It has two large bedrooms and on suite baths. The air worked fine. The kitchen living room area had a musty smell the whole time there and we discovered black mold under the kitchen sink. It was much cleaner than the main house. The pool was the best part of the property it was clean and refreshing. The property owners did respond quickly to any questions we had. Was somewhat disappointed in the cleanliness and appearance of the property but we made it work as we are adventurous and stay out mostly through the day exploring. As I Mentioned this could be an amazingly beautiful property with some deep cleaning and some repairs. Enjoyed our time in Costa Rica and planning our next adventure to the island of Barbados in November!!

Buen lugar para quedarse pero debe mejorar
El lugar es bonito tranquilo Pero hay ciertas cosas que mejorar Requiere algo de mantenimiento El lugar estaba limpio por encima al llegar y era evidente en algunas áreas No hay accesibilidad de ley 7600 para personas con discapacidad para accesar a la piscina y apartamento pero si hay espacio como para mejorarlo Hay que tomar en cuenta que el acceso con carros en la entrada principal debe ser un vehículo alto Pero en general el lugar es tranquilo calmo y para pasar en familia

Pool time for family reunion
A last minute family reunion was possible thanks to Giacomo & Marjolein. Their place worked for our goal, which was to enjoy together for 2 days with games and tons of pool time. They welcomed us with a nice basket with goodies! Nice touch. The pool and BBQ/outoor area were perfect for our goals. Check-in was a breeze, directions accurate and remote assistance provided even for little details, including how to approach the driveway and park! The property has 2 houses, in a terraced property. The main house is down by the gates, and has 3 bedroms, 2 on the main floor, and one (master) on the second floor, with access to the back terrace, where you can walk up to the next level up in the backyard, where the pool and large appartment are .Each bedroom has a fully working quiet AC unit! Going up 2 set of stairs from the main house, is the pool area, with a gas grill, jacuzzi (powerful jets) and even a water slide. The BBQ /outdoord dining area is covered, so even with rain we were able to stay outdoors! From the pool area, you can go up to the 'appartment', which has a massively large master bedroom with master bath, and another smaller bedroom with a bathroom, living/kitchen area in between. All beds were comfortable according to our crew. We spent most of our 2 days outdoors in the pool, our bew tan look will be noted and appreciated for days to come!

Muy recomendado
Fui con mi familia de paseo a Casa Prusia y nos encantó, es una propiedad que cuenta con 2 casas súper equipadas, (las 2 casas vienen incluidas en la reservación)tiene una vista muy bonita y el rancho y la piscina son increíbles. El proceso del check in fue muy rápido y siempre mantuve contacto con el anfitrión y encargada de la casa, súper amables y rápidos en responder. La casa estaba muy limpia y la ropa de cama también. Al llegar a la casa nos encontramos 2 canastas con galletas y vino lo cual nos pareció un detalle muy bonito. Es una propiedad grande y con bastantes gradas para tomarlo en consideración. Sin duda volvería en el futuro.
