Vacation Rental Description

Enjoy this brand new, two-bedroom luxury villa, situated in a 
natural river setting with a waterfall and nature trail, exclusive 
private swimming pool, river-view terraces, and rustic teak pavilian 
overlooking the river. The tropical gardens are a sanctuary for 
colorful birds, butterflies, and iguanas, and the sound of the 
waterfall provides background for one of the most tranquil settings 
imaginable. This area is consistently rated the best climate in the 
world, with average daytime temperatures of 75F - 82F degrees and 
low humidity. The house and pool are on one level and recreation 
areas are wheelchair accessible.

Las Villas de Las Palmas is conveniently located just 20 minutes 
from the San Jose (SJO) airport in the rolling hills of historic 
Grecia, Alajuela, amid beautiful volcano and mountain vistas, 
crystal skies, coffee and sugarcane fields, cascading rivers and 
falls, and quaint but prosperous towns. Las Palmas is an ideal base 
from which to explore Costa Rica's wonders on comfortable day trips 
and return to your personal paradise each afternoon. Nearby 
attractions include national reserves and parks, canopy tours, 
biking, nature treks, white-water rafting, Poas and Arenal 
volcanoes, famous Jaco beach, Tabacon hot springs spa, The World of 
Snakes reptile zoo, Tortuga Island tours, Zoo Ave exotic bird park, 
bungee jumping, fishing, numerous waterfalls and swimming holes, 
botanic gardens, and local art and furniture shops. Only 5 minutes 
away, the friendly town of Grecia offers shopping, restaurants with 
delicious traditional foods, movie cinemas, a typical Latin American 
central market, and the famous metal cathedral imported from 
Belgium.  Only 15 minutes away is the artisan town of Sarchi where you can shop for handcrafted 
treasures and art, including leather goods, hand carved wood, clothing, and 
wonderful Christmas tree decorations with a local flair.For those interested in the big city life, 
the capital, San Jose, is only 40 minutes away by highway. Las Palmas is ideal 
for families, with many games and toys, river trails, Nintendo video 
with numerous games, and of course, the beautiful swimming pool. 
For your leisure time, there is a large selection of paperbacks, 
satellite television, movies, games for children and adults, and 
binoculars to better enjoy observing the wildlife. On the river 
trail you can see wild orchids, exotic birds, bromeliads, iguanas 
and amazing "Jesus" lizards that can walk on water. Included for 
your enjoyment is a high quality astro telescope with easy to use 
finder for viewing planets, star clusters, nebulae, and the moon. 
January to April is our summer dry season and our skies are 
perfectly clear almost every night and offer extraordinary viewing 
with no light interference or air pollution.

This modern 2 bedroom villa is furnished and decorated exclusively 
with the hand craft of local artisans and has the most modern 
conveniences, including fully equipped kitchen, laundry facility, 
satellite television, video games, and music. Each bedroom has a 
full or queen bed and a beautiful view of the lighted tropical 
gardens. Nicknamed ¨El Toucan¨, this villa is a great observation 
point for viewing toucans, parakeets, hummingbirds, and the numerous 
bird species (over 80!!!) that are attracted to the river's tree 
canopy. On countless summer nights, you are treated to a vivid 
display of lightning squalls out over the Pacific while you relax 
under a clear, star-filled sky, enjoying the glorious double sunset 
and watching for falling stars to the music of the waterfall. 
Exterior accent lighting lets you stroll about the garden paths in 
the evenings, enjoy the lighted waterfall, maybe even catch a night-
flowering cactus, or watch an iguana deposit her eggs in the 
hillside sanctuary. Lots of glass lets you enjoy the swimming pool, 
lighted waterfall, colorful birds, and tropical gardens from any 
room. The owners and caretakers are on site 24/7 to provide any 
assistance your require.

Vacation Rental Rates

This unforgettable vacation villa is now available for the "low season" rate (June to November) of 
only $149 per night for up to 4 persons, and we offer a 10% discount for 3 or more 
consecutive nights. Airport transport service is available for $30 
each way. Waiting in your kitchen is a complementary assortment of 
food and beverage treats and necessities to help assure your 
comfort. Most recreation activities and attractions are very 
modestly priced and we can help with arrangements. In seven years we 
have never had a theft or crime of any nature, but for your peace of 
mind you have a safety-deposit box in which to store unneeded 
passports or other items for safekeeping. Despite current 
international trends, the U.S. dollar remains very strong and much 
desired here, to your obvious benefit.

Payment

Because Costa Rica is not part of the U.S. banking networks and 
there exists possible complications from international credit card 
use, we only accept payment through Paypal at their website 
ww.paypal. No checks or other forms of payment please. At the time 
of your reservation, a deposit of half of the rental price is due. 
If you need to cancel your reservation before 4 weeks of your 
arrival, it will be gladly refunded. The second half is due 2 weeks 
before your arrival. If you are subsequently unable to visit, the 
rental fee is non-refundable since we would be unlikely to refill 
the vacancy on such short notice. Maid and pool service are 
included. The owners live on-site to assure your satisfaction.
