About this house rental
WELCOME TO CASA COLA BALLENA!
The Costa Ballena, or Whale's Coast, is one of the coolest spots in Costa Rica. This beautiful home features the best view of the Whale's Tail in the Southern Zone and enjoys continuous fresh breezes. In addition to the awe-inspiring view, the benefits of being up in the mountains include a microclimate that is about 10 degrees cooler than in town and on the beach, and few biting insects, as we are above the "bugline". You will be serenaded daily by a wide variety of birds, monkeys and rainforest critters. Open the doors wide and enjoy indoor/outdoor living with the best view of the Whale's Tail!
As if the home, the views and the nature around you aren't enough, our guests rave about the personalized guest service that we can provide! We can work with you ahead of time to get your car rental arranged (our agency provides our guests with preferential pricing, and a 4WD is required), your tours selected and booked, home massages scheduled, even bring in wonderful chefs to cook and serve you, if you desire! We want to make sure that your stay in Costa Rica is the absolute best!

The outdoor areas feature several dining and lounging areas around the lighted pool and gardens. Enjoy your evenings relaxing and gazing out over the jungle and the Whale Tail below while you are treated to another awesome Costa Rican sunset or, if weather provides, an incredible lightning display over the ocean and Cańo Island.

Family of 5 with kids ( 11, 8 , 4yrs) I don’t believe I have the words to adequately describe our stay on this property. They wouldn’t do it justice . The view from the back deck is nothing less than dreamy . At sunrise you are greeted by the sounds of Howler monkeys and bird song ( the Toucans and hummingbirds put on quite a show ) and there is nothing quite like watching the sunset over the Whale’s Tail . Sarah and Mark are truly wonderful and make your stay magical . Sarah helped book the perfect activities for my family . We toured Corcovado with Cesar and it was an amazing educational experience. We saw tons of wildlife and also learned so much about the CR eco system . He is really great with kids . After our hike Sarah arranged for Chef Willy to cook us dinner at the house . If you are a foodie .. you cannot pass this up . Anthony Bourdain would have loved him . Snorkeling off canoe was great and again , big thanks to Sarah for finding us the perfect guides and boat . Our guide Daniel with Bahia Ventura’s , along with captain and crew , were wonderful. Other highlights were the waterfall down the road from the house . My kids figured out the times the tour buses left and had us take them daily to jump off the rocks and the older two loved the natural water slide . The restaurant suggestions in the guestbook are great . We ate at Mosaic , Sebu , and la Parcela ( go at 4:30 / 5 if you want to see the Capuchins ) . To sum it up , it was simply perfect .

We had such a great time. Shara and Mark are the most accommodating hosts we have experienced yet, hands down. The house was awesome and they gave us so many options of things to do in the area we would need a month to do them all, plus pool time. And did I mention the view? By far the most dramatic we have seen in Costa Rica. The house was stocked with everything we needed as cooks which made the stay that much more enjoyable. Thanks so much!!

Our stay was fantastic and exceeded our expectations. Sarah booked all of our excursions for us and her local knowledge proved to be a great asset. All tours exceeded our expectations and the guides Sarah booked were fantastic. The home was beautiful and well equipped.
