About this house rental

WELCOME TO CASA COLA BALLENA!

The Costa Ballena, or Whale's Coast, is one of the coolest spots in Costa Rica. This beautiful home features the best view of the Whale's Tail in the Southern Zone and enjoys continuous fresh breezes. In addition to the awe-inspiring view, the benefits of being up in the mountains include a microclimate that is about 10 degrees cooler than in town and on the beach, and few biting insects, as we are above the "bugline". You will be serenaded daily by a wide variety of birds, monkeys and rainforest critters. Open the doors wide and enjoy indoor/outdoor living with the best view of the Whale's Tail!

As if the home, the views and the nature around you aren't enough, our guests rave about the personalized guest service that we can provide! We can work with you ahead of time to get your car rental arranged (our agency provides our guests with preferential pricing, and a 4WD is required), your tours selected and booked, home massages scheduled, even bring in wonderful chefs to cook and serve you, if you desire! We want to make sure that your stay in Costa Rica is the absolute best!

The outdoor areas feature several dining and lounging areas around the lighted pool and gardens. Enjoy your evenings relaxing and gazing out over the jungle and the Whale Tail below while you are treated to another awesome Costa Rican sunset or, if weather provides, an incredible lightning display over the ocean and Cańo Island.

Everything was amazing. As others have said, Sarah is a great host and helps you find everything, schedule excursions and make local recommendations. All five star. The road up the hill is admittedly an adventure so double check the tires and bring a decent 4-wheel drive vehicle (like the local version of the 4-Runner). But it's very doable and the views are worth it. Lots of animal visitors, including the semi-resident pisote, Fred. You'll love the excursions; we did Corcovado National Park, surfing lessons, Chef Willy visiting for brunch, and Nuayaca Falls horseback riding. All solid recommendations. Driving in Costa Rica wasn't as challenging as we'd heard. But mostly the house and pool are just great, as is the food locally.

Lovely house that was perfect for our family! Lovely large patio with lots of seating and great view. The pool was refreshing and tons of fun for our 10 year old grandson.The kitchen had everything we needed and the laundry room was a real plus. Sarah is such a gracious host and was always available for questions. The roads a challenge but we managed.

I thought our vacation would start when we arrived in Costa Rica however Sarah make the planning process so easy it was like vacation already started. She helped plan everything from getting to getting a rental car to get to the house to planning AMAZING excursions. The hardest part was getting up the mountain to the house which was guided the first time. The house was GORGEOUS, clean and well equipped. It was everything we expected plus some. I would highly recommended!!

We had an amazing stay here. Sarah and Mark are excellent hosts. Book this and follow Sarah’s recommendations. She knows the best guides for excursions and we enjoyed the ATV and Corcovado tour she arranged for us. Dinner prepared by chef William and Elisia was delicious. Sunsets were different every night- but don’t forget the mornings- I was up early to enjoy coffee with the toucans and all the many birds. You will love staying here! Thank you Sarah and Mark for a great stay.

Sarah (owner) goes out of her way to make sure your experience is pleasurable. We stayed over Christmas, the weather was great, only one rainy day. You definitely need 4x4 to reach this house. The house is pretty isolated up on mountain but my oh my, the views including the sunsets are amazing. On the not so good side, the jacuzzi tub was missing pipes/faucets, the hotwater heater wasn't working properly, the whale tail fountain at the pool was inoperable & the washing machine broke. There is only A/C for the bedrooms, we unknowingly set the temp too low (not having used a wall mounted system b4), were scolded a bit by Sarah. Some outdoor lighting did not work during our stay. All trash needs to be driven in your vehilce approx 10 minutes towards the bottom of the mountain. That's a very specific knit-picky list and overall didn't affect our great stay. When we notified Sarah of the hot water issue, we got an odd response- oh, hmm, that's never happened before. Then an awkward long pause as neither of us said anything - did she think we did something wrong? We just wanted enough water to shower. To her credit, there was an immediate response & the problem was rectified that evening. The house is a legit 4 hr drive from the San Jose Airport, plan accordingly. Sarah communicated extensively with our party throughout the stay. Every (Sarah) booked event was as advertised & top notch. Having her chef prepare us dinner the first night was great.

Our hosts, Sarah and Mark, were incredible. They helped set up all - ATV, Zipline, White Water rafting, and Adventure Tour at Corcovado National Park - all our tours/activities, such as FUN. The best part was returning home to Casa Cola Ballena. We lived at this incredible home set in the mountains and overlooking "Whale Tail" Beach for eight glorious days. It was an unforgettable trip, and now we have two forever friends in our hosts, Sarah and Mark. Thank you.
