We’;ve received tons and lots of concerns about the rental residence we stayed in during our trip to Costa Rica, so I would like to share a small tour of the residence as nicely as talk a little bit about our experience renting whilst abroad.
It was truly crucial to us to locate a house that could comfortably match our whole group (4 couples), and we also wanted a space that was near the beach and also had a pool. The infinity pool at the Casa Blanca house was definitely ideal. I also loved all the seating on the deck as properly as the outdoor hammock just methods away from the pool. I invested time reading through in the hammock and lots of time swimming in the pool!
The home also had a great outdoor grilling region. We in no way ended up employing the grill, but we did devote plenty of time hanging out with every other in all the outside spaces. Costa Rica is just as well stunning of a country to devote all your time indoors. The residence also had an outside shower that came in helpful for rinsing off soon after returning from the seashore or following getting out of the pool.
I have to admit that the floating staircase is probably the feature that pushed us all in excess of the edge about this residence (pun!). We looked at plenty of diverse rental possibilities while studying for our trip, but the architecture of this property was just beautiful. It was easily the most stunning (and fancy) property I have ever stayed in. I imply, search at the view from the stairs! The views all around this property created the trip come to feel even far more epic.
Right here you can see the dining region and kitchen. One particular thing I really like about making use of rentals like this is they frequently come with totally-stocked kitchens. This signifies you can cook dinners with each other if you want to remain in for a night, and you can save funds by cooking your personal breakfast or lunches and only going out at night. I considerably prefer generating my personal French toast to most hotel continental breakfast options. Just saying.
This residence had 3 bedrooms with yet another area that could be utilized as a bedroom (which we did, since we had 4 couples). The master bedroom had this cute small deck attached to it. We drew numbers to see which couple got this room, and then switched halfway via the week.
There had been several bathrooms in the home. This second 1 was most likely my favorite due to the fact of the bright and cheery yellow tile.
Here you can see the upstairs hallway that leads to all the bedrooms. There was also a roof deck that we utilized in the evenings to hang out and have a drink with each other.
We found and rented this house by means of HomeAway. It’;s a extremely comparable services to Airbnb. I have personally rented via HomeAway while on group trips 3 times this previous yr (and I have booked one for a brief trip to Seattle this July), and I have had a good expertise every time. This was my first time to book a single in yet another country, and at initial I was rather nervous about it. While researching for the journey, I had asked our friends at Mucho Mucho Bueno Bueno for any Costa Rica ideas or hotel recommendations, as I knew they had been there ahead of. They said they had utilized HomeAway to lease a residence, and it was a much better experience for them than any hotel, so I made a decision to give it a attempt. I am SO glad we did.
In case you’;re curious, our Costa Rica property was about $ 500 a evening (I feel the value varies some based mostly on what time of year you go to). Given that it was a group journey, this expense received split up, producing each and every couple’;s price tag per night $ 125, which is a pretty similar price tag to a normal hotel (perhaps even a little more affordable than a hotel, dependent exactly where you are). So, for the value of a regular hotel, we all received to remain in an remarkable residence, have entry to our own personal pool, and have a lot of area to hang out with each other. This is why, for group trips, I just love rental houses more than hotels when the alternative is available. If you are arranging a group (or household) journey any time soon, I would highly suggest checking out rental homes in your destination’;s location. Thanks for letting us share. xo. Emma
