New! Spectacular Sunset Villa, Inner Courtyard, Salt Pool, Amazing Ocean Views
When you walk through the arched castle-like doors of Casa Tara into the cool inner garden courtyard surrounded by hand carved columns, you enter another world; a world of peace and old-world charm. As you pass through the comfortable livingroom, by the adjoining the gourmet California kitchen, out onto spacious covered porch with an amazing ocean views, leap into the sparkling salt pool! Listen to the waves break on the Ostianal Beach where thousands of sea turtles return to lay their egg. This beautiful home which offers relaxed elegance, privacy and tranquility. Float in the blue water of the private pool while the monkeys and birds fill the air with the sounds and sights of the 300-acre tropical forest biological reserve that protects the Rosario River watershed. Take walks through the forest on quiet dirt roads and see pisotes, howler monkeys, igunas, and tropical birds. Enjoy the breathtaking sunset views with a glass of wine or settle in with your morning coffee on the porch of this spacious Mediterranean-style villa. Located within the gated Reserva Biologico Community of Finca Los Sueños. Casa Tara is a 10 minute drive from the magical beach of Ostianal, one of three beaches in the world where the Ridley turtles come to lay their eggs.
Also a 10 minute drive to the quaint fishing village of San Juanillo, (rated by Conde Nast travelers as 10 most beautiful beaches worldwide) with a harbor for safe swimming and snorkeling, and the ocean side with spectacular crashing waves, little restaurants, fabulous sunsets and a small Saturday farmer's market for organic produce.
25 minutes to the South is the famouse Playa Guiones surf break and 25 minutes to the North is our favorite beach Marbella, wide long beach great for surfing or boogie boarding and lovely Tiki Bar.

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Tsultrim Allione

I am an author and teacher of Tibetan Buddhism and an artist, I have written three books: Women of Wisdom, Feeding Your Demons, and Wisdom Rising. I'm from California. I'm also a mother and grandmother and my partner Michael and I live in Encinitas California. He's an avid surfer and Mind-BodyTrainer.
Why they chose this property
I love the quiet and natural beauty of the place. And San Juanillo is one of the few places where you can swim and snorkel safely because it's an enclosed harbor. Also Los Suenos where the property is located 25 houses on 300 acres in a nature reserve, is a great community, people are friendly and helpful.
What makes this property unique
Everyone talks about the peacefulness of this house. It sits in a settled way on the land with expansive views, feels private and spacious. You see the crashing surf below from a distance which makes the view more difficult. Also its right up from Ostianal where the turtles lay their eggs and you can go see that happen as well as when they are born and head for the ocean..
