About this property
Large 3 BR Condo, Incredible Views, Families, 5 Min Walk to SPECTACULAR BEACH
Golden Reef Condominium is located next to Punta Leona Hotel & Club, a 750-acre reserve in a rainforest home to iguanas, scarlet macaws, toucans, white faced monkeys, spider monkeys, sloths, coatis and more. At only an hour and a half drive, it is the closest beach to Costa Rica's capital, San José and the San José International Airport (SJO). The perfect home base for any number of tours in the area. Most notably, Punta Leona is home to Playa Blanca, a white sand beach which has year after year won the highly sought after Eco Blue Flag (Bandera Azúl Ecológica) with a 5 out of 5 star rating – one of only 2 beaches in all of Costa Rica to garner that rating. And it's a 5-minute walk from the condo!
The condo has all the comforts of a modern home with stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, washer/dryer, air-conditioning units in each room, cable TV, free WiFi and a very large terrace. As our condo is located on the 4th floor of the building, you will enjoy incredible panoramic views of the Pacific ocean, the landmark rock of La Leona, Playa Blanca, as well as the flight of scarlet macaws, pelicans, and numerous other wildlife. The unit has two private parking spaces located within the Golden Reef complex. Families with children will love the pool area with slide. Beach toys are also provided in the unit.
In the nearby towns of Quebrada Ganado, Jacó and Herradura, you will find a variety of grocery and souvenir stores as well as plenty of restaurant choices in addition to many places to book canopy, horseback riding and deep sea fishing tours.
NOTES:
* CANCELLATION POLICY: Once the first rental payment has been received, there will be no refunds issued unless:
- We can re-rent the condo for the same dates and rental rate.
- If the condo can be re-rented for a partial number of days, a refund will be issued for those dates only.
* Rental Car Required - public transportation, taxis or Ubers not readily available
* Reservation does NOT include access to Punta Leona Hotel & Club amenities (restaurants, bathrooms, kayak rental, beach parking)
* Ages 12+ count as adults; ages 1-11 are counted as children
* NO visitors; NO pets
* Feel free to request Rental Agreement prior to booking
