Short-term rental or long-term, Grecia is a good base to explore Costa Rica.

This is a great "base" from which to explore Costa Rica, write the great American novel or just veg out and experience the very best Costa Rica's Central Valley has to offer.

Built in 2005, this 860 square foot house includes a large bedroom with a built-in dresser, a large closet, and a ceiling fan (rarely needed). All bed linens are included. There's a great view of the mountainside from the bed for when you wake up. The Select Comfort air mattress (like those featured at Radisson Hotels) on the bed, with a separate control for each side, allows you to decide how firm or soft you want your mattress. There is also a second air mattress for guests.

Fully furnished and equipped with the quality, brand name appliances you are accustomed to ...

The bathroom features a large walk-in shower with hand held spray, granite countertop, hot water and plenty of storage. Bath linens are included. Unlike most Costa Rican homes, in ours we installed high-traction tile to prevent falls.

The great room includes the kitchen and living area with another ceiling fan. The kitchen has a full-size Maytag refrigerator, Maytag smooth-top range and Maytag over-the-counter microwave, a double sink, granite countertops, a large pantry, hot water and a separate island.

A Lovingly Cared For Home and Well Maintained.

In an effort to continually maintain and upgrade this so that it's an attractive and very comfortable 'home away from home' for you, a brand new (September 2007) Whirlpool washer and dryer has just been installed...

It is fully furnished with small appliances, pots and pans, glassware, silverware, plates, bowls and saucers, cutlery, cooking utensils, linens, etc.

Linens are included.

The living area includes a Natuzzi double recliner leather sofa, an Ekornes Stressless leather recliner chair and a small dining table. The 27-inch television is already programmed with U.S.-source English language TV. We've also included a DVD player and there's a view of the mountainside from the sofa.

The balcony off the living room provides outdoor seating and another spectacular view up and down our valley. The attached garage with opener is available at no additional cost, if needed.

Picturesque country views are also included.

All utilities are included in the rent including water, electricity, English language TV, trash removal and a private telephone line. Internet access is via a wireless, truly high-speed connection.

The house comes furnished with an initial supply of paper products, soap and cleaning supplies, coffee, filters, salt and pepper, etc., so you don't have to go shopping the day you arrive. If we know what you want, we'll shop for you before you arrive. Housekeeping service is not included but might be arranged at additional cost.

Airport pick-up and dropoff are included. Other transportation and settlement services are negotiable.

Three day minimum US$140

Longer? Please ask us and please, no smoking, no drugs and no heavy drinking.

Happy Customers:

"My husband and I just returned to the states after spending a month in Costa Rica renting Dave and Marcia Murray's guest house. I wanted to tell you how happy we were that we rented from them."

Their accommodations are wonderful. They are great people and I look forward to returning again next year but for two months instead of one month. It was a wonderful way of discovering life in Costa Rica. Without your site, I would not have found them. Thank you." Jeanne Reilly.

If you would like to email Dave & Marcia (who are friends of Scott) about their guest house, please insert your email address and answer the three little questions in the form below:

A well equipped fully furnished rental like this for $750 per month means great value.
