About this property
Caribbean beachfront home with private cabana
Happy House is one of the very few homes in Cost Rica that is truly beachfront. You won't need to cross a street or follow a trail, just a short walk down the garden path will take you to the private gate opening directly to a prestine Caribbean beach. There you will find a secluded cabana on the undisturbed Playa Grande. The property is nestled in a rainforest between a nature preserve and the warm waters of the Caribbean sea. Happy House is the perfect place to experience abundant wildlife, lush vegetation and very secluded beaches. This is where the jungle meets the sea.
The large patio living area overlooks the garden, has a direct view of the beach and is bathed in the sights and sounds of the jungle and sea. The house is elevated above the ground. The 3 bedrooms and 3 full bathrooms are screened in and will accommodate up to 6 people comfortably. The property is a private, single family residence. No one else will be on the property during your stay.
The home was built in the vintage local "Tico" open air style to allow the fresh breezes and sounds of the jungle to flow throughout. It is intended to be a place to vacation, relax and be close to nature. If you are looking for modern and luxury and cannot tolerate exposure to nature, please do not stay here. We are constantly cleaning, repairing and maintaining the home. But it is located in a jungle and only a few steps from the sea, sometimes mother nature wins.

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Steve Millican
I was born and raised in Fort Worth, Texas, USA. My family helped settle that part of the world and have been working the land and building there for generations. I suppose that is why I have such a love for home construction, remodeling, gardening and the outdoors in general. I am in my 50s, have 2 beautiful, intelligent daughters in their teens and 20s and enjoy traveling with my wonderful wife Tracy. I have remodeled old homes, built new homes, have rental homes and now learning how to share our vacation home.
Why they chose this property
We purchased a place where we enjoy spending time, not a business. We aren't professional hosts, just people that hope you enjoy this special place as much as we do. We will continuously work on improvements, however our goal is to provide the basics for a safe and comfortable vacation.
What makes this property unique
There are many beautiful and wonderful places to stay in the area. However there are very few that are actually directly beachfront. All pictures here and on the website are taken by me on or directly adjacent to the property; no internet images or professional photos were used.
