Eco Friendly Spacious Caribbean House with private pool.

Do you want to get to know the Carriebbean side of Costa Rica? The people, the musik, culter, flora and fauna? Then my Casa Magdalena is the right place for you!!
The wooden structure of Casa Magdalena is nestled into a natural setting of tropical flowers and fruit trees, like mango, grapefruit, banana, lime and avocado – tasty and attract local bird and insect life in abundance. The two storey home has 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and a light and spacious open plan kitchen/dining/living area. The main bedroom has ensuite bathroom and private veranda, overlooking the colourful and leafy garden. The veranda and balcony are invitingly furnished with sofas and hammocks, just perfect to chill out! Casa Magdalena is fully equipped and well-maintained to ensure a comfortable stay. We pride ourselves on the coziness and cleanliness of this home.

Everybody is talking about sustainable sources. I believe there is lots we can do just by saving energy and I tried to realize as much as possible by:
?NOT having A/C but natural ventilation with wide windows all around. They also reduce the need for artificial light during daylight hours. Fans are provided for warmer days.

?low wattage light bulbs
?the water heater only starts when needed. In this climate we have many months where a hot shower is not even wanted!
WATER:
?having our own well

?toilet system dual flush-use the amount of water needed



There are recycling bins in the house and a compost heap outside for household waste and we use environmentally friendly toilet cleaner, dish washing soap, washing soap and other products.

Casa Magdalena is stituated in a quiet local neighbourhood, so you can get away from it all and be part of a community - not just one of many tourists or ex-pats. Observe everyday life in this friendly area, inhabited by Costa Ricans who live simply and happily here.

When reserving your vacation accommodation in Cahuita, consider the advantages of a White Beach location. The National Park has a flag system to clearly indicate safe swimming spots along the beach, ensuring that you can always find a place to enjoy the Caribbean waters without the risk of rip-tides. As a mother myself, I would strongly advise families against diving into the waters at the Black Beach, unless the waves are very calm. Holiday-makers in Cahuita are thrilled by the National Park's diverse flora and fauna - you can expect to see (and hear) both White-faced and Howler monkeys, but sloths, racoons, anteaters, snakes, iguanas, tree-frogs, leaf-cutter ants and an incredible selection of creatures that scuttle, fly, buzz, swim and crawl are all around you! At this end of town, you have the advantage of shops, bars, restaurants, the bank, pharmacy, ATM, Post Office and Bus Terminal all within a few minutes walk, as well as the safety, beauty and tropical wildlife of the National Park. Who could ask for more?

Maison typique caribéenne

La piscine est géniale mais en revanche c'est un endroit assez bruyant le soir (proximité de la route et musique provenant des bars à proximité). La maison est typique des Caraïbes.

We loved Doris’s place.

We highly recommend anyone to rent this 3 bedroom house. It’s spacious and beautiful. The house is made entirely of wood with a natural but finished interior. It’s a short walk to town. Doris was very helpful in all regards. Thank you Doris

great experience

We really enjoyed our stay in Cahuita. The property is unique , clean and comfortable. Loved the pool. The location is great, walking distance to supermarket, restaurants and Cahuita National park, oops cannot forget the ice cream shop too. Kitchen could use a few small things and maybe a toaster but no big deal. Doris is a pleasure to deal with, had problem with internet on arrival and she had it fixed by next day. Overall exceeded our expectations.

Accommodating host, lovely property

Doris was a wonderful and accommodating host. The property is full of beautiful tropical plants and well maintained. We found everything in working order. We enjoyed mornings and evening sitting on the edge of the double doors listening to the birds and keeping an eye out for agoutis, frogs, iguanas, squirrels. Really enjoyed Casa Magdalena.

Rustic Jungle Retreat

My only regret is not being able to stay longer! Doris is so attentive and made sure we were well taken care of. I was nervous when we arrived because this is open air concept ( no window screens) and don’t particularly like the idea of critters being able to come and go. But after the first night I was hooked. Waking up to the sounds of the jungle is surreal. Howler monkeys, frogs and birds make for a peaceful morning! The pool was fantastic and a short walk to town and beach was just the right amount of shopping and sampling local cuisine. Thank you, Doris. We will be back!

Wonderful Oasis

We loved this property. It was surrounded by greenery and flowers. we felt like we were in our own little jungle. We enjoyed watching all the birds over our morning coffee. As per the listing a quick 15 min walk and you are in the middle of Cahuita. The pool was absolutely lovely. So refreshing, a shallow and deeper end but not over anyones head. The house has lots of windows that open, lots of air movement and light. Doris was not feeling well when we were their but still made contact every day to check that we had all we need. She was very responsive to all our questions and concerns. We would definitely stay again!

Lovely stay surrounded by nature with attentive property manager

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this home, and Ms Doris was kind and attentive to us while we were here. She picked us up from the bus stop in Cahuita and took us to get groceries, gave us a ride into Puerto Viejo, as well as offered to connect us with local guides. We loved the pool and it was always cleaned every other day. We really loved being able to get “so close to nature” and saw two sloths in her backyard while we were here, as well as agoutis, birds, iguanas, tree frogs, and heard monkeys at night. Thank you so much for allowing us to stay at your home and making us feel so welcome. Loved the animals!!! I even feel closer to bats now, as they did such an amazing job keeping mosquitoes away!

Cahuita Cottage

Everything was pretty much as website presented, although upstairs shower was disassembled and ceiling fan was super noisy unless you turned it on high. Doris offered to bring over another fan but forgot. We made do with the noisy fan. Grounds were beautifully kept and pool was wonderfully refreshing. All in all a fair value in a relaxing location.

Experience Real Costa Rica

My husband and I are planning to retire in Costa Rica. Casa Magdalena offered an excellent opportunity to experience real Costa Rica. The house itself is in good condition and very comfortable. It is typical of what you will find in a Costa Rican neighborhood. It is not a hotel or resort, and if that's what you want, then look elsewhere. This house offers plenty of sleeping space, complete with mosquito netting, which is very necessary. The open, airy design allows for a gentle night breeze, and so long as you don't mind an occasional bat wandering in momentarily, then you will enjoy the feel of having the jungle right outside your walls. The kitchen had enough space and plenty of dishes for the cooking we wanted to do ourselves. My husband and I visited with four of our children 16-27, and we all enjoyed the stay. Cahuita is within walking distance, although there is plenty of parking if you'd rather drive to the beautiful black sand beaches. After a full day at the ocean, you might not feel like walking back. We used the outdoor table and the pool every single day. Most mornings, we cut up fresh fruit and made coffee for our breakfast. Then we'd hang out for a bit, listening to the monkeys, roosters and dogs, while the sun warmed the pool area. Once we got back from the beach, we cooled off in the pool. The entire week was fantastic. Doris was very helpful and gracious. She recommended restaurants, and gave us an idea of what life in Costa Rica is really like. If you want a hermetically sealed room with air conditioning and absolutely no noise, then you probably ought to stay in San Jose, at the Mariott. This house is rustic, fun and charming. You get to experience what life in the jungle is really like. I will definitely come back to Casa Magdalena.

Honest, factual review!

Very, rustic cabin “barn” in a Costa Rica. The homeowner, Doris is a lovely, helpful hostess. The gardens and pool are awesome! The flora and fauna, neighbourhood sloth, howler monkeys, many different species of birds and flowers as well as interesting albeit, poisonous green and black dart frogs are an incredible Caribbean side, Costa Rican experience. It is a short walk to the town: Cahuita is a very laid back town, lots of great restaurants, bars, stores, pharmacy, ATM and bank. There are beautiful, nearly deserted beaches, Playa Blanca and Playa Negra. Downsides: there are absolutely, no screens on the windows or doors, so you are at the mercy of mosquitoes, bats etc. On a daily basis we killed off numerous cockroaches! In the evening, if the windows are closed, it is too hot without any air circulation. Termites were also certainly active in this wooden structure. The house is not like the outdated pictures on the website and is not very well maintained any longer. There are not 2 full bathrooms: upstairs bathroom “en-suite” has one sink and toilet, but no real privacy door. The bathroom downstairs has a poorly, working shower and a leaky sink. There is a shower out by the pool that works quite efficiently. The only bedroom/en-suite upstairs which has a double bed, plus a crib type or where a child can sleep. There are no other privacy doors on the other two sleeping areas which also have double beds, but one bed/sleeping area is completely open. No place inside to hang towels or even clothes and no wine glasses or acrylic glasses to take poolside. Not an overtly, tranquil area with neighbors playing loud music, dogs barking, roosters crowing, cats meowing/fighting and garden burning at any given time. Being close to highway one can expect to hear the big trucks gearing down too. Fans for white noise when in proper working condition do come in handy, but the only ceiling fan made too much noise when turned at a decent speed for air. Earplugs are absolutely, necessary!! We left for 2 nights to tour Tortugero and then left 5 days earlier than our intended stay. Overall, in our opinion, we do not recommend this particular place, we investigated others similar prices and one can certainly, find a much better place to “camp” out on in lovely, Cahuita.

Rough and beautiful

At first we were put off, you do have to go outside your comfort zone, it's total immersion into local culture, open windows, openings everywhere to the outside bugs and lizards running up and down the walls, ceilings and floor, the property reminds me of a tree house, but is surrounded by beautiful flowers, a lovely private well maintained pool we used daily, the bird watching is the best here. Close to the easy to use bus stop, beaches are pristine, Cahuita is a short walk away. The jungle amazing, The food is so fresh and delish. We did not have a bad meal. Doris is very close and eager to help with questions. A tip if the neighborhood dogs, roosters and howler monkeys make it difficult to sleep the fan works great for white noise at night.

Wonderful month spent in Cahuita!

I spent five wonderful weeks with my son in Casa Magdelena! Cahuita is a great base on the Caribbean, quiet, friendly town with great restaurants and nature literally out the door. Animal and bird viewing in Cahuita National Park is second to none! Woke up to the sound of howler monkeys every morning! Casa Magdelena is a beautiful little Oasis. Neighbors are all around but I felt like we had tons of privacy. There is some neighborhood noise at night but nothing too annoying. I felt very safe as a single mom in the neighborhood. It definitely felt safer than some of the tourist areas in town. Doris lives next door and provides wonderful service and a nice safety net, whom I felt I could approach with any concern (though I didn't have any). The pool is fantastic and we saw more birdlife then I did in the parks and were visited one evening by a two toed sloth! The cottage is rustic but there was nothing we were in need of - we really enjoyed eating on the porch and watching the birds and butterflies visit the garden. Definitely expect a rustic experience - no air conditioning, etc but to me that was part of the charm and it felt close to an authentic 'living in Costa Rica' experience.. We had the cottage 'cleaned' by army ants one night! The only concern was that it was not accessible for my mom who visited for a week and has mobility issues. The standard $10 extra per guest per night charge (common in CR rentals) was also disappointing as it added to the cost of property rentals when family came to stay. I highly recommend this home! Beautiful Oasis and wonderful host!!

Great stay!

We had a great stay in this house. You have everything you need to make food and everything was clean. Doris was easy to get in contact with and offer us a ride from and to the bus station. It takes around 10 minutes to walk to restaurants and shops. The neighborhood is calm and safe.

Casa is ok...It's the dogs...

Located 15 min walk from the Cahuita Park Entrance in the West side of route 36...finding our way there the 1st time we asked locals as Google maps is wrong. It's a place for backpackers. Bring loads of mosquito repeallant if you plan to spend night on balcony or inside. Overall the casa is OK...it's minimal cleanliness, old mattresses and has the rudimentary basic things needed for cooking. A microwave would be nice...but we ate outside mainly so it was not a concern. Pool is nice as we used it on a daily basis. My big disappointment was: The barking dogs, namely stupid dogs that will bark at the wind and clouds..after ants or their own shadow...bark anytime all the time....@2 or 4am, you will enjoy the full concert between on site roosters and dogs barking plus the (nice) howling monkeys in background with trucks travelling on the 36. I love dogs. The owner Doris is a nice person, owns a beautifull well behaved german shepard. Bring good earplugs.

Comfortable with pool as a benefit

Totaly enjoyed our stay. The house has plenty of space even for a family. It's just a bit rustic but private. If you figure out the coffeemaker in less than 2 minutes you win the reward of a great cup of coffee. The location is good for Cahuita restaurant s and park. Very relaxing.

comfortable house, nice pool, nice host!

My family stayed for 3 nights & we made ourselves right at home. It's a nice, large house with a great pool, & not far to walk to food & the beach. We also enjoyed the company of Lucky the dog, who watched over us & the property! Doris is a very nice lady & made us feel very welcome.
