Beautiful Oasis

This was truly and amazing place to stay! It is more of an oasis than a B&B. The room, property, expansive views, gardens and location were absolutely fantastic and we enjoyed every minute of the 5 days we stayed there. The owners are absolutely wonderful and went above and beyond to add a personal touch. Amazing homemade breakfast (included) on the veranda was a great start to each day. Highly recommended!!

Peaceful and Relaxing Stay

Nita and Marty have an amazing property. From the well appointed room to the pristine pool and grounds, their attention to detail is unparalleled. Close to El Castillo attractions and a short drive to La Fortuna it's a perfect romantic location to enjoy the Pura Vida spirit of Costa Rica. We would love to come back.

Wonderful place!

This place is gorgeous! Very secluded and quiet too. Breakfast was cooked to order every day. We would definately recommend it.It is a bit of a drive into town (La Fortuna), so a rental car would be a good idea.

This is a beautiful property! We stayed in the Parrot Suite, a large room with a king bed and all the amenities you’d need. I loved the attention to detail and the lovely Welcome Tray was a such a treat. Nita and Marty, although not there at the time, were excellent communicators, kept in touch and answered all question. The on site staff were great, friendly and took good care of us. The outdoor breakfast area was beautiful, overlooked the pool and Arenal Volcano. The choices for breakfast were plentiful and Priscilla cooked all to perfection. Lena gave us ideas of what to do, where to go and was a lovely conversationalist with insights into the Costa Rica lifestyle and culture. The B&B is a bit isolated and we loved the quiet and the fireflies. We didn’t have a car and would recommend having one in order to get out and about. There are a lot of things to do nearby and a car would be helpful. We highly recommend this property. It’s beautiful, well kept and is a little piece of paradise.

About the host

Hosted by Nita Kemsley

Your hosts are Marty & Nita Kemsley. Marty is an retired Architect and Nita is a retired New Age shop owner. We are originally from California and Oregon, and we spent most of the last 3 decades living and raising our family in Salt Lake City, Utah. Nita & Marty made their permanent move to Costa Rica in 2016 and embarked on building their dream. The Encantada Guest House was completed in 2009 and has been a successful Vacation Rental since 2011. Our new Encantada Luxury Adults Only B&B project was just completed in 2020 and continues to receive rave 5 star reviews.

Why they chose this property

We first came to Costa Rica in 2003 as tourists and by the time we left a week later we were smitten. Nita was ready to take the plunge right then and there, Marty took a bit more convincing. We came back in 2005 for another look and by 2006, we had decided to make a giant leap into the unknown. We ended up purchasing a chunk of raw pasture land on a 6000 acre active cattle farm. No roads...no utilities...just awesome beauty and a whole lot of faith...Yeah...we were a lot younger then. Haha.
It was...Love at first sight! Quiet, rural, calm, private, tranquil and with views to die for! No roads...no utilities...no money and no plan, but we saw great possibilities for living out our future retirement in paradise. We took a leap of faith and never looked back. Yeah...we were a lot younger then. Haha. We began to build the guesthouse in 2009 and in 2011, we started renting it out as a vacation rental, in a brand new industry. It was a huge success and it allowed us to spend the next 9 years planning and working toward our goal of building our dream home and future B&B. Our dream came true....Yours can too!

What makes this property unique

The property is very private and tranquil. Close to everything we need.. but away from it all as well. The cool mountain breezes are a real blessing when the summer months are here. We love waking up to the birds and monkey's and the sounds of nature everyday.
