Response from VrboOwner on 29 January 2022
Thank you so much for choosing to stay at Villa Fransen during your visit to beautiful Costa Rica. We were delighted to host you and look forward to your next visit.
About the host
Hosted by Keith and Ingrid Fransen
Ingrid and Keith live in Minneapolis, Minnesota USA. Ingrid takes care of the home and raising two teenagers and a one year old while Keith deals in new and used manufacture home sales.
Why they chose this property
Ingrid is originally from Playa del Coco, Costa Rica. During a visit, we were offered the property from a friend and a lifelong dream was fulfilled.
What makes this property unique
Artola is right in the middle of so many attractions so, with it also not being far from the airport, it makes the development of a rental/vacation home here good sense. The house location is also away from hustle, bustle and commotion so when you want some peace and quiet, there is plenty to go around.
