Breathtaking view of the sunrise! Kitchen is fully equipped for cooking with gas stove. Also has washer and drier but the washer was manual- you have to be present every 5-10 minutes to change the cycles. Pool was always clean- the property manager was always available and ready to answer any concerns.
One description that did not match- the home is 30-40 min ( depending on the time of day) from the main road. The house is on top of a mountain so expect the drive and arrive early to familiarize yourself with ride up the mountain, it is gravel and bumpy so a good 4x4 vehicle will work for the ride. Once you’re on the main road, there is a very secluded beach, playa Bajuco, that very quiet and peaceful- no tourist at all. The water was very rough not great for swimming nor surfing. To go surf, Playa Manuel Antonio is perfect for intermediate surfers. That beach is about 30 to 40 minutes away once on the main road. So start your day early - a lot of driving that can take up your day if you want to experience the beautiful views this home has to offer. Perfect for 2 families. It was 9 of us, a grand suite that slept 5- no privacy and another suite with 2 separate rooms, bathroom and private balcony and a 2nd kitchen. We had a wonderful time after we got the hang of driving the route up.

Our family enjoyed the views, the pool, and especially the quiet at night when all we could hear is the jungle noises. The property manager was very helpful too and made sure everything was perfect.

Beautiful location on the mountain, overlooking rainforest below and the ocean in far distance. The house is spacious with glass wall floor to ceiling on the side facing the view. There is a wrap-around covered porch on two levels so we enjoyed stepping out even when it was raining. We spent a couple of days just hanging on the property, by the pool and in the house, relaxing. We did not feel getting there was dangerous, but there are some ups and downs and narrow bridges over creeks along the road. We had some heavy rains during our stay but the road was passable shortly afterward (we have not tried driving in heavy rain so cannot comment what that would be like).The house had everything we needed, including laundry detergent and a dish soap. Cooking is no problem as kitchen is equipped. No need to buy salt, there is plenty of it but do bring spices if you need them. I highly recommend getting some fresh chicken at the grocery store in Parrita and cooking it one of these days you plan to eat in. Local chicken is delicious, juicy and full of flavor, best chicken we had in a while, even though it was spiced with just salt and black pepper. When we arrived, we were greeted by the Casa's caretaker, Christian. He lives in a smaller house on the grounds. If you need anything or if anything happens - he is there to help. We thought it added a sense of security since the place is remote. He guided us to the waterfall - the hike is strenuous, but I'd recommend to check it out.

We stayed at Casa Altamar for six nights and loved this beautiful property. Beautiful views from the stunning windows throughout the house. Wonderful view of the ocean as we floated in the refreshing and crystal clean infinity pool. We spent lots of time on the deck watching the many bird species that visited. We saw something new every day including toucans, parrots and a motmot. Christian the caretaker was very kind and helpful. We have been to Costa Rica many times and will definitely stay at this property again.
