Nestled along the jungle-fringed coast with a backdrop of mountains, Cabuya is great base for hiking, swimming, snorkeling, kayaking, beach combing, wildlife watching and all those nature lovers looking for a place off the beaten track. It is also the ideal spot to simply unwind in a hammock and enjoy the natural beauty that surrounds you. Cabuya boasts 5 restaurants, an Internet cafe, and two grocery stores which stock alcohol, produce, meat, fish and household items, all of which are within an easy walk from the house. It is also within an hours walk (7km) along the beach to Montezuma and a two and a half hour walk over a mountain to Mal Pais and the lovely playa Carmen. There is a regular bus service to Montezuma so while some visitors choose to rent a car it is certainly not essential.

Further details for this holiday rental in Montezuma, Costa Rica

THINGS TO DO: TAKE A HIKE: At low tide, take a 5 minute walk to the Magical Cabuya Island. Explore the island beaches, views and cemetery. Walk 2km to the Cabo Blanco Nature Reserve and take a two hour hike through the jungle to a pristine beach. Walk 10 minutes up the beach to the River Lajas and hike up the river to one of several waterfalls. Walk for an hour (7km) along the beach to Montezuma and enjoy a drink at one of the many funky restaurants. Take a two hour hike via the high road over the Cabo Blanco reserve enjoying the amazing views and take a dip at the beach of Mal Pais or Playa Carmen.

THINGS TO DO: TAKE A SWIM: Swim in the lovely warm safe water right in front of the house at high tide. There are no currents or big waves to worry about. Make sure to bring water shoes as the bottom is rocky. At low tide wade in the tide pools. Find an amazing assortment of shells, stones and sea creatures. Bring your snorkel gear and flippers out to Cabuya Island to see coral and tropical marine life. Swim in the cool pools at the mouth of the river Lajas, only a ten minute walk along the beach. Rent kayaks form the Howler Monkey Hotel, two doors down and kayak around Cabuya Island. Do you have kids? For $100/week we can set up our above ground pool for you. Relax and watch the kids have fun.

THINGS TO DO: TAKE IT EASY: Swing in a hammock and let the wildlife come to you. Monkeys, birds, iguanas, butterflies and geckos are regular visitors in the back yard. Take your book and beach chair to the shady water's edge and enjoy the sound of the waves and the tropical breeze. Build a sand castle and go beach combing with the kids. The beach changes regularly with the tide. You will be amazed at the treasures that you will find. Take a stroll past the second supermarket and follow the signs to the Rainsong Wildlife Sanctuary where Mary will introduce you to all the fascinating local wildlife. Watch the moon rise over the ocean and see the splendid night sky unfold before your eyes right in front of the house.

Pura Vida at Casa Astrid

Happy Callanan Delmar, New York USA
Review Submitted: June 12, 2009 Date of Stay: April 2009
Casa Astrid, located at the southern end of the Nicoya Penninsula in the town of Cayuya, is the perfect tropical getaway.

The house is down one of the few roads in Cabuya. Entering the house through an old iron gate is a wonderful surprise.

The house has a cathedral ceiling with beautiful wood, a well equipped kitchen, washer, living room with comfortable couch, and 2 bedrooms, one with bunkbeds, the other a double. Both rooms have air conditioning, if needed.

The best feature of the house are the beautiful french doors which open out onto a patio, a beautiful tropical garden and your own private piece of the ocean.

My partner and I spent every evening at the end of the yard, watching the lightening over the water, listening to the howler monkeys and enjoying a glass of wine.

We rarely left Cabuya during our stay because of the restaurants in the area. Very modest and small, but every one prepared fresh, excellent meals. There are also 2 well equipped grocery stores in the area if you want to cook.

One evening, when we didn't want to leave the house, our neighbors, Jose and Flory went out diving for lobsters and prepared a meal of the fresh catch, rice, beans and vegetables!!

In the event you want to get out of town, the bus trip to Montezuma takes about 20 minutes. It costs about$1.00 each way and you get to mingle with the local folks. Montezuma has souvenier shops and several good restaurant right on the water.

My only regret was that our stay was too short. We were just beginning to relax, enjoy the hammock and really get into tico time when it was time to go. next time, the trip will be longer!!
