Located in a tropical rainforest, and on a quiet beach, this vacation beach house offers a close relationship to rainforest flora and fauna. Handcrafted in local area hardwoods, the house allows you to unplug from hectic lifestyles. Solar powered!
At Casa Dos Rios the four bedrooms have queen beds with bamboo posts and 'no-see-um' netting, and the house is well-ventilated with many windows, a breezeway and a cupola at the top of the house. The open-air porch downstairs houses hammocks for your relaxation, and the kitchen and living room were positioned to take advantage of the lovely view to the beach and Gulf Dulce.
Enjoy the natural wonders just outside the windows, as there are four kinds of monkeys in the region, and the wildlife includes toucans, macaws and iguanas to name a few. We have mature trees featuring fresh fruit. The beautiful landscaping of our grounds can be viewed by strolling our paths that lead to the beach just a few yards away from the house. Our house is located between two rivers. The closest river provides a refreshing pool of sparkling clear gurgling water for your enjoyment after swimming and surfing.
We are totally off the grid, with solar power, well water, and propane tanks for cook-stoves and hot-water heaters. Our on-demand hot water is available in sinks and showers. We have walk-in showers and luxurious linens for your comfort.
Our managers, Gretchen and Oldemar are on-site in a manager house, and are available to help make your stay comfortable,as well as to book tours, Gretchen teaches Spanish, and Oldemar teaches surfing and can take you on jungle-waterfall tours.
