Further details for this holiday house rental in Escazú, Costa Rica

Switzerland of Central America: The Central Valley: For your enjoyment: the Central valley is 40-50 miles long and about 5 miles wide, running East to West. The house looks down into and across the valley from the South. You can almost see the Pacific Ocean and sunsets are always a charm. Not too many people can adequately anticipate the stunning view from the property day or night. The intense blue sky serving as a back drop to the colorful flora and fauna of the foreground. It's hard to leave the property when one can just enjoy the view of puffy clouds rolling by or watch the scintillating light show of night lights all over the valley. It's truly a million dollar view; satisfaction guaranteed.

For Medical: Escazu is just minutes from the best medical and dental service in Costa Rica. You can enjoy your recuperation here surrounded by spectacular views, soaring and singing birds and a dazzling night view of the Central Valley. There is room for you to bring your private nurse, and/or our live in housekeeper will keep all in order and clean and help with any cooking you require. CIMA is a world class hospital nearby. Cosmetic surgery is common place now in Costa Rica and economical. You can take advantage of US trained physicians operating in world class surgical theaters.

Business Travelers: Escazu is the prime location for your business trip to Costa Rica. The property is 20 minutes from the airport, located above the noise and bustle of San Jose, which is only 10 minutes away. Most multinational companies, government offices and embassies are 15 minutes from the property, although you will feel as if you are in a private sanctuary away from it all. A private driver can be arranged for your needs.

Nice house, enjoyable stay, but couple gotchas

Norcalkevin Granite Bay, CA
Review Submitted: April 18, 2009 Date of Stay: April 2009
This is a nice house perched up above San Jose.
The view is great, and the four of us in the main house had a good time during our stay. The two in the apartment on the property weren't so thrilled with the place though.
We didn't know that another couple was staying in the upstairs apartment. We were under the impression we had rented the house and all that came with it, so this was a surprise even if they weren't around much.
The live in maid does not speak English at all so you better come in with some Spanish knowledge!

Here's the positives and negatives:
+ The view
+ The house - nice spot!
+ the price - nice!
- The outdoor dogs (3 of them) barked at all hours and stank
-> there's an older small dog that's the culprit, if he's inside at night, all is well, but they still stink...
-+ the maid - I'm not used to this so didn't know what to expect. Turns out not quite much and note the language barrier.

Escazu is nice, but not really in the heart of San Jose, it's up in the hillls which is actually nice for the view but a bit out of the way otherwise.

Overall, if we go down to Costa Rica again, I'd stay on the beach, San Jose is too far inland for our liking. Next time it's Jaco beach!
Owner's Response: This was a rental we would not now accept: first it was 5 people, then 6 and I think finally it turned into 7 individuals.

This was only the 3rd rental we had done and to have anyone dissatisfied in any way does not make us happy either.

That the home is in the Central Valley and not on the beach is readily known by the location given.

Overloading the property to save money doesn't make anyone happy. All of the families and couples who have stayed with us have been very happy.

Spanish is the native language spoken in Costa Rica.

The Lap of Luxury in Escazu

Beep Red Deer, Alberta, Canada
Review Submitted: January 27, 2009 Date of Stay: January 2009
I have rarely visited a house as luxurious as this one, let alone lived in one. Philip was a great host and we spent a wonderful visit with him for a couple of hours. The ad for the house shows a lot of the features very accurately. Christina keeps a spotless and beautifully well kept house. She was as accommodating and helpful as possible given that she only speaks Spanish and we only speak English. There are a butcher shop, bakery, hardware, two Chinese groceries and a chop suey house that we didn't try, although, Carlos our cab driver recommended it, at the entrata del Pueblo de Bello Horizonte. This is a 12 minute walk downhilI. I would gladly recommend this property. But if you want to go anywhere other then the bario down the hill, be prepared to taxi or drive. A wonderful place to relax after a hectic day of sightseeing.

Spectacular escape

DCblueeyes Washington, DC
Review Submitted: January 5, 2009 Date of Stay: December 2008
This is a great romantic getaway spot. The biggest risk if you travel to Costa Rica to stay at this spectacularly-situated house is that you may not want to leave it in the morning. The website photos are no exaggeration, and you will almost certainly end up sitting on the terrace, or in the living room with the enormous picture window, spending hours looking out on the Central Valley below and making yourself comfortable in this comfortable and well-equipped house. The only potential drawback is that, if you plan on using the house as a base to explore the country, you may face some problems getting in and out with the Escazu traffic down below.
