Costa Rica Rental Apartments in Grecia - The private entrances to the three apartments can be seen in the bottom left of the picture and the guest room is shown in the top right of the picture with it's private balcony.

We have three brand new fully furnished efficiency apartments and a guest room for rent by the month, week or day.

Our house and the three apartments are brand new. They were all completed in 2008. The apartments feature a full kitchen with a refrigerator, a stove, a dining area, hot water (which is not available in most apartments in Costa Rica), cable TV (with both US and local stations), wireless Internet, a phone (calls to anywhere in Costa Rica are free and International calls can be made using Skype for 2 cents a minute).

All linens and towels are included and the apartments are furnished with a starter supply of coffee, soap and basic necessities. If you want us to shop for you, please send us a list of what you would like. Otherwise, we will take you to Grecia so you can do your own shopping for groceries, etc.

Our guests will enjoy access to our beautifully landscaped gardens and a world-class view of Costa Rica's famous Central Valley

The apartments have a covered patio and the guest room has its own private balcony. There's parking space behind a locked gate and a washer and dryer are available. Utilities are included.

We are in El Cajon, about 5 miles up the mountain from Grecia, (but don't look for El Cajon on any map. El Cajon has one small store, one school, one church and no stop sign.) We're 40 minutes from Juan Santamaria International Airport and we are at an altitude of about 4,600 feet. Our temperatures range from approximately 60 to 80 degrees Fahrenheit year round. (Most of the year it is in the 70s day and night).

We offer you free transportation to and from the airport for stays of one week or longer as well as free first day meals.

For shorter stays we can provide airport pickup and drop-off for $25 each way. Additional transportation and trips are available for an extra cost.

Our neighborhood is a safe and friendly area surrounded mostly by coffee farmers. It's quiet, and it's accessible by public transportation. The bus stops about half a mile from our house every other hour. It will cost you about 45 cents to go to Grecia. From there you can go to San Jose and then to anywhere in Costa Rica by bus.

Clean, bright and spacious.

Here you can enjoy the beauty of Costa Rica. This area is centrally located and it's a great home-base from which to explore all parts of Costa Rica.

You will love the way we have worked with nature in our landscaped gardens. Our house overlooks the beautiful mountains, the Central Valley, and you can look up the mountain and see the Poas Volcano.

You can take a leisurely walk through our coffee plants and banana trees down to the river. (Of course, the walk back up is not so leisurely.)

Beautiful valley views.

Overlooking the Central Valley, you will observe landing planes (35 miles away) like shining birds in the sky, and watch the flocks of parrots and other beautiful Costa Rican birds flying overhead. And at night you will see spectacular views of the Central Valley covered with thousands of lights. Come and experience amazing views of beautiful birds, coffee farms, wondering clouds and mist through the green mountains.

Modern comfortable furniture from La Artistica

In the mornings you can enjoy your coffee while overlooking our large green garden as well as experiencing priceless views of the valley and sun rise.

Our apartments are fully furnished with comfortable furniture from the famous La Artistica furniture store.

Housekeeping is not included, but can be arranged at additional cost.

What our other guests think of their stay with us:

"The views from the apartment were absolutely breathtaking. And Mela and Richard were fantastic hosts. You couldn't ask for more gracious hosts. We absolutely loved it there and hated to leave." Jerry Minchey. Asheville, NC

"The apartment was so much more than I had expected. It was so clean and comfortable. It has to be the most relaxing place on earth. Pictures can't do justice to the beautiful scenery or the adorable apartment. I can't wait to go back." Karen Word

No heavy drinking, smoking or drugs please.

Thanks so much for your interest. We look forward to being your hosts.
