The gated community Mistico is nestled in what was formerly an agriculture site, surrounded by lush vegetation, rivers, lakes. You often see lots of birds and occasional wildlife like capuchin monkeys. The development has walking and biking paths as well. It's beautiful community with well-kept gardens and areas to relax. Mistico is about 20 minutes south of the major town Jaco which is filled with restaurants, bars, entertainment, and shopping including several grocery stores. They also have a nice beach. Mistico has a beach as well but it's largely a surfing beach so waves can be quite large and rip tides can be dangerous. It's great for wading and swimming close to the shoreline.

About an hour south of us is Manual Antonio National Park. This is one of the premier National Parks in all of Costa Rica. We highly recommend visitors take a trip there for a day. There are walking trails with lots of wildlife and even a beach area to swim in. You can not take any food in the park. On-line reservations are required. Some people will hire a guide as well as these guides know the plants, flowers, birds and wildlife habitats (sloths, monkeys, birds etc). There are many other places to visit that we recommend in the area to visit such as waterfalls, hanging bridges, or cool towns.

The entire home is available to guests.

This is a gated community with on-site security. Mistico is very family oriented. Large groups or parties are not welcome. Mistico is a very new development and while our home and surrounding homes are completed, there is some construction taking place in other parts of the community with new homes going up and some roads still being developed and paved.
