Casa Pajaro is a superb vacation home near the village of Ojochal in Costa Rica’s southern zone.  A ten minute drive off the Costanera will bring you to the front gate of our beautiful house and breath-taking scenery.  

At 900 feet above sea level, Casa Pajaro offers totally unobstructed views of the Pacific Ocean featuring unparalleled sunsets, the Talamanca mountains, and the jungle coming up to the backyard.   The Ojochal area is often called the Big Sur of Costa Rica because the mountains touch the oceans while tossing in the rainforest for extra beauty. 

From the terrace you can see Isla Ballena, the whales tail of Playa Uvita, Punta Dominical, and Manuel Antonio’s islands.  But that is just the coastline.  You likely won’t see a human neighbor as frequently as you see the parrots, aracaris or toucans.  Howler monkeys munch on the leaves behind the house.  We’ve almost named the pizote since he is our most frequent guest.

Why Casa Pajaro?

Casa Pajaro is a completely private, gated vacation villa.  Our Costa Rican villa has all of the design and style of a resort while maintaining the feel of a family home. The pool deck is beautifully landscaped with palm trees and tropical plants. There are three bedrooms with queen size beds, two bathrooms, with a fourth bedroom is available with a double futon.

An over sized outdoor terrace both covered and open air.  A completely modern kitchen houses a granite island and counter tops, stainless steel appliances and a separate prep area.  The outdoor teak dining table sets as a perfect location for memorable meals gazing over the Pacific Ocean.

Just a few minutes from Ojochal are some of Costa Rica's best restaurants, most beautiful beaches, and spectacular national parks.  Area activities will satisfy your sense of adventure- golfing, surfing, horseback riding, deep sea fishing, and zip-lining. Explore waterfalls or tour Cano Island, Sierpe River, or take a dolphin and whale watching excursion.  Some of the best bird-watching will be from the terrace in the morning and late afternoon.

The primary rain forest behind the house plays host to howler and white face capuchin monkeys, sloths, and more species of birds than you count.  If up are an early riser, you are sure to see a Blue Morpho butterfly.

Safety and ease of access is a primary concern for home renters. Casa Pajaro has an electronic  security gate with an intercom and lights at street level. A paved driveway makes the ascent easy. There is parking for three vehicles.  A four wheel drive vehicle is still necessary most times in the year.

The Tico Times, the weekly English language newspaper called the Southern Zone the last frontier. While that is true, you don’t have to give up the comforts of a resort just to enjoy the natural beauty of the area. A stay at Casa Pajaro gives you best of all worlds.
