Coastal elegance in a decorator villa overlooking the Whale's Tail

A legendary view and an aesthetic environment dripping with jungle chlorophyl awaits your visit at this beautiful villa. As you enter the front gate you will find a splashy kiss of crystal citrine towers with passion fruit and vanilla vines cascading over the private villa garden wall. An immediate calm arrives and your fatigue and frayed nerves from the journey are gone.

Casa Citrina has one of the most dramatic and privileged locations in the area, overlooking the famous Whale’s Tail. Loads of privacy on a twelve acre property, perched overlooking the jungle, wildlife abounds. Entering the house, you will not be able to resist going straight to the patio to take in the breathtaking view of one of Costa Rica’s most iconic locations. Many visitors have likened this setting to the Amalfi Coast of Italy and Kauai. Overlooking the breeding grounds of the Antarctic and Alaskan whales and the world class sunsets there is no better place to experience the gifts of nature.

With 5 star furnishings throughout, you can cozy up on the Restoration Hardware’s famous cloud sofa, just in time to hear the jungle symphony of the squawking from the family of toucans that live near by. The house is at a high elevation which means, no pesky bugs, light cool breezes (yes you may need a sweater) but you can still sleep to the crashing of waves immediately below. The kitchen will impress any gourmet cook with all you need to prepare the perfect meal. Use our online shopping contacts to order everything you need and have it delivered and stocked prior to your arrival. If you do not want to cook, our local chefs can have tasty meals waiting for you. Your choice of world class wines and liquors can be ready on the kitchen island ready to pour and enjoy on the patio your first day here.

The home has 2 large master suites and a mini master, all with en suite bathrooms. Two baths have outdoor air bubble bathtubs and gorgeous all glass showers. There is an extra smaller room with a 1/2 bath that could be for a nanny or maid. Although located in a temperate elevation, all rooms have air conditioning. All bedding is organic, no pesticides have been used on the property, there is structured water and all cleaning supplies are carefully chosen to be non toxic. All bathrooms have organic shampoos and body washes and other amenities from a local company specializing in nature aligned potions The heated salt swimming pool takes the slight chill off in the evenings and an outdoor kitchen is perfect for a poolside evening BBQ. If you are coming to work, everything is ready with a computer monitor, fiber optic high speed internet, solar energy to guarantee a back up in the case of energy outages and abundant wifi throughout the property.

Organic fruits and vegetables when available from our permaculture garden are often left at your front door and you are always invited to visit the newly completed black bamboo greenhouse that is always bustling with seedlings. Maybe the stingless bee hives on the property will have honey ready for your breakfast or for sweetening your tropical smoothie.

Just when you think you have had the perfect day, evening comes and the show begins. Probably the most spectacular sunsets you have ever experienced are here, each one unique and breathtaking. Wildlife wonders never disappoint at Casa Citrina, toucans are guaranteed for happy hour and monkeys often stop by. Bird watching takes on a whole new meaning and walks through the neighborhood are never without something new to discover. Located at the top of a ridge, you can take an easy morning walk on two miles of road without extreme hills. Casa Citrina is also cool with your own furry family and accepts dogs under 30 pounds!

The rental price includes maid service once a week and your wish is our command for any local support that you may need during your visit. We also have a Jeep Grand Cherokee available to rent and with proper notice and we can have you picked up from the Quepos airport and brought to the property to begin your vacation trouble free. Casa Citrina is located in the Costa Verde Estates neighborhood, the most prestigious address in the area. Tennis courts can be arranged and there is a helicopter pad for ease of arrival as well. This is the perfect launching pad for visiting the beaches. It is a 20 minute drive from the coastal highway to the property. All guests are required to have a 4x4 vehicle. From the house you can see the gushing Diamante waterfall, Costa Rica's largest. A ride through the back roads will take you to the famous Nauyaca falls. You are also next door to an abundance of organic farms and permaculture. Farmers markets offer a healthy experience and lots of fun while seeking out exotic fruits and vegetables. Nearby gastronomy abounds and one of the most favorite local hang outs is only a ten minute drive with a great chef and one of the best bartenders around. A local market is also handy with gourmet goodies and a great selection of fine wines. Many other great restaurants are not too far away.

Casa Citrina was designed for the experienced traveler accustomed to five star amenities and design. You will experience in luxury one of the world's most biologically intense places on earth. Me and my staff are sure you will cherish every moment you are here. There are few places like Casa Citrina at MU Estate that are left in the world. See you soon!

Perfect In Every Way

Casa Citrina is nothing short of spectacular. We had a wonderful 2 week stay at Lori's lovely house. The only problem was I could never decide where to sit as there were great views from every position. Whether you want to marvel at the jungle or stare out to sea, it is all there before your eyes. The house itself is gorgeous, comfortable and designed soak in the surroundings. We can't wait to return next year!! Thank you Lori!
