About this property

Beautiful 2bdrm 2bath with pool on Backwash

Las Almendras is a rental property on the Southern tip of Costa Rica’s Osa Peninsula. The home offers privacy and comfort in an extraordinary jungle setting. Take in breathtaking views of Costa Rica’s natural wildlife from the patio. This two-acre property rises gradually from Backwash Beach and stretches across a section of lush tropical gardens backing up to a mountainside draped in abundant rainforest. The home is situated at the base of the mountain, approximately 40 meters above the water and 150 yards from the sand. There is a peekaboo view of the water through the palms and almond trees. The open-air design of the home takes advantage of both mountain and ocean breezes throughout the day.

The house design optimizes outdoor living space. The pool deck is located in front of the kitchen, which is adjacent to the main living space. There are two bedrooms, each with their own sitting area, and full bathroom. In front of the bedrooms is a large covered patio that consists of a dining area and living room. Just off the patio is another open-air deck tucked against the hillside and surrounded by foliage for shade.

Throughout the booking process, you will work with a full time property manager. The property manager is able to assist with travel arrangements and answer any questions you might have. Once you arrive, they will provide a concierge service assisting with tours and providing information about the area. A cleaning service is provided every 3 days and is included in the stay. There is also a 24hr onsite caretaker that can handle maintenance issues during your stay.

Las Almendras is perfect for couples or a small family looking for adventure and relaxation in a remote jungle setting.

MONKEYS!!!! An amazing spot... and so much more...
We are two brothers... both software devs escaping to the wilds of Osa... and Almendras (the property) was AMAZING. First off, the surroundings are amazing. We cooked every day, the outdoor kitchen and barbeque are great. Great full sized fridge and stove. We didn't request chef service, so can't comment on that - but that was our choice, so not an issue. No windows, all open air. Surrounded by trees, teaming with monkeys! They're around all day. Lapas everywhere as well (scarlet macaws) flying around in pairs. Incredible for nature lovers to have a coffee and watch a family of monkeys flying through the trees.... Make sure you have sturdy transportation... it's remote, and the road is bumpy... but it's worth the trek. Quiet, completely serene. (Occasional music from neighbours, but - what can you do.) GREAT internet. It can't be guaranteed, but it was up for 95% of our time. Streaming included. (There's no TV, so if you need a fix, bring screens.) Cleaning and maintenance was *impeccable*. Mostly while we were in town or at the beach. Like magic. We returned to spotless premises. Beautifully made beds. Beach and bath towels. Top notch service by Alfredo, Roxy and the rest of the crew. Compost/organics and recyclables were also cleared out during cleaning. Really hope to get back here in the future. One of my best trips to Costa Rica!

Lovely home near beaches in Matapalo
The house is pretty much as seen on the VRBO page - two large bedrooms and a large, very comfortable open living area overlooking a lawn and rain forest. It is all open air - and while we were there, very warm with only fans over the beds. Also an open kitchen separate from the living area that worked fairly well. The only shopping is far away in Puerto Jimenez, and only one (expensive) restaurant nearby (there may be another in a hotel we did not try) - so be prepared to do all of your shopping before going to the house. We had a wonderful time with two small children (6 and 9 - on air beds) and highly recommend it. Be aware of a very challenging dirt road to get to the property from Puerto Jimenez and especially close to the property.
