About this property

Las Ballenas de Avellanas

  • Get away from it all when you stay under the stars! Stylish and modern two bed one bath small house in Avellanas. The finishing touches make it very special, with wooden carved whale door handles, and large murals of whales outside the home. Restaurants, shops within 300m; One of the best surf beaches, Playa Avellanas, is just under 1 km away. There's a long front deck for sitting out and A/C, TV, full kitchen inside. Washing machine on premises, WIFI is great! 1 queen and 2 single bunk beds.

    Other things to note


    We want you to have a great stay with us, so, with that in mind, we would ask that you please make sure to ask any questions you have about the house or the area.
    The more you know about the house, the more accurate your expectations will be.
    If you have limited mobility, talk to us about if this is the right stay for you. If you don't know the location please check it before booking. If the roads concern you, please ask us about them. If the season and weather might be a concern, please ask about those.

    There are things about our home we cannot change;

    weather (strong rains might influence the internet, for example), seasons, road conditions etc, and it is always easier for everyone if you know what to expect, so please reach out about those before your stay so you can make an informed decision if this is the right place for you.
    We are 'in nature' , very peaceful - most roads are still dirt roads and while they have very much improved in the last years they can be slippery and muddy in rainy season. While foliage is beautiful and green in rainy season (May through October) it gets dry and more brownish in dry season (November through April).
    We are on a side road, so it doesn't get as dusty as some other places in dry season.
    Howler monkeys are frequently around, as well as 'the neighbors' cows and horses' that walk by occasionally (seriously!)- so are beautiful birds; sometimes you can even snatch the sight - and sound!- of our beautiful Costa Rican macaws and other parrots.
    The area is safe to walk, even after dark, but please be aware that there are not many street lights- again, we are very much in nature.
    Our property is beautifully lit at nighttime, so easy to 'find'.
    La Esquina- a beautiful meeting place with shops, restaurants and events like live music is only a 10 min walk away- so you do not need your car all the time.
    A lot of our guests are surfers who enjoy famous surf beach Playa Avellanas- they mostly walk down to the beach, about 15-20 min. Our Ballenas each have outdoor showers to rinse off sand etc before entering the home if you so desire.
    There is a washer and spinner on the premises for our guests to use.
    Have a great day and - PURA VIDA!

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
We had a wonderful experience. The host, Inken, was great to work with and gave us some wonderful recommendations on activities and restaurants. The house itself was just what we wanted; clean and cozy, with the amenities we needed, and it has a great outdoor porch and garden. The location was a combination of peaceful and secluded - with beautiful lush surroundings, and close enough to get to the beach on foot - and conveniently located near the shops at La Esquina. I would highly recommend this property to anyone coming to Costa Rica!
Magical evening under the stars!
