Recline on the cool wrap-around newly renovated Living/Dining area and watch toucans, sloths and blue butterflies in the one acre private tropical garden of Casa Bella. Splash around in the 7 X 12 meter swimming pool, or lounge on the covered pool deck. This recently built house combines the comforts of western living with the ease of the Caribbean indoor/outdoor style. Tropical hardwoods, beautiful design and modern amenities make Casa Bella an ideal destination. From the airy and bright living room/dining room you enter the spacious modern kitchen, with its full-sized fridge, stove/oven and double sink. The kitchen comes equipped with cookware and dishware. There are two bedrooms with queen sized beds, private ensuite bathrooms with hot water showers, fans, and shelving for hanging/storing clothing . Go up the external spiral staircase from the pool-side deck to a breezy loft apartment that can be added to accommodate 2-4 more people. At the top of the loft's spiral stairs is a wide balcony where you can recline in a hammock and take in the canopy view. Inside the loft is an open living area with queen-sized bed, kitchenette, safe, fan, closet and three piece bathroom. There are also two single beds, perfect for kids. Just across the pool from Casa Bella are Casita Bonita and Casita Sol. Casita Bonita has an outdoor living area, two bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a full kitchen (sleeps 4). Casita Sol has one bedroom, one bathroom, a full kitchen, and hammock-strung second-story balcony (sleeps 2). A tropical sanctuary, the lot at Casa Bella has fruit trees, flowering bushes, palm trees, ylang-ylang, open spaces and shady zones. We often have howler monkeys and sloths visiting, and if you look up you can catch a parrot or toucan party in our trees, or the macaws flapping by. The house is on both municipal and well water systems. Water is abundant and clean. There is parking for up to 4 cars at the rear of the house. From the lot is a 3 minute walk to the public access path to Playa Chiquita Beach, rated the best (and prettiest) beach on this coast! The path is another 2-3 minute walk down to the beach. Playa Chiquita Beach is sheltered by an off-shore reef making sections of it a kid-friendly place to swim. With series of sandy coves you can splash and swim, or wade and wallow in the coral fringed pools that decorate the points. Centrally located in Playa Chiquita Village, near groceries and restaurants, Casa Bella is tucked away in its private spot a mere 1 minute walk from the main road. We are at our house across the road at a nearby property and happy to help you find what you need in Playa Chiquita. We are very approachable and full of local knowledge. Playa Chiquita is minutes from Puerto Viejo, Limon. People come here all year round to view wildlife and experience the Caribbean culture through music and the colorful character of the region. Playa Chiquita is a small village 5 km south of Puerto Viejo de Limon. We are famous for having the most beautiful and serene beach on the coast. You can stroll down the coast in either direction all the way to Puerto Viejo, Manzanillo, and beyond through unpoplated stretches of beach. El Duende Gourmet, the grocer 5 minutes walk from Casa Bella, is fully stocked with dry goods, dairy, meat, fresh produce, cold beer and a good selection of wine and liquor. Check out the fresh baked goods by the entrance. Bread, croissants, pan au chocolate, donuts, pita, strudels, pizzas, and empanandas delivered fresh daily! There are 8+ restaurants in Playa Chiquita. Our favorites are Gypsea Cafe and Lounge, Pura Gula, and the two woodfire pizza restaurants! A little further down the coast toward Puerto is Spicy Coconut, a new favorite with excellent fusion food, great location on the beach, and fantastic service. There are two bike rental shops, and on Saturdays and Wednesdays there is a fresh produce market, as well as a couple of pop up produce stands where local farmers sell their wares.
