About this property
The Sloth House 2- Beach/ Jacuzzi / Outdoor Fireplace/Birdwatching /Bikes
. Enjoy the Ocean sound and breeze throughout the day. Private swimming pool with fireplace. 2 beach cruiser bicycles included with stay ($14 per day savings)
Villa details-
Our house was designed for style, comfort, convenience, natural environmental consideration and privacy. The room temperature inside the villa stays comfortable day and night as it was specially designed to stay cool using earthen construction and an open-air design to catch the Caribbean breezes. All windows and doors are screened from outside elements. The roof constructed of natural thatch palm leaves, which reflect the sun rays also keeping the villa cool. You have to see the house to appreciate the quality textiles, artistic design, and elegant simplicity incorporated throughout the villas.
The ingenuity earthen construction of our first villa consists of excavating dirt from the adjacent swimming pool to construct the earthen walls of the home, giving the villa the earthen adobe look.. Please see more details below…
_______________________________
Ground Transportation-
As far as ground transportation, the highlight of our guests trip we are told is always the river rafting trip. It includes ground transportation to Or from our villa on to San Jose, day of rafting, breakfast and lunch. The cost is $99 pp.
I Just thought I'd mention this as renting a car is not always necessary for getting around our area, as I include 2 bikes with our villa rental if you would like to travel by this means. Also, taxis and the bus system is also easy and convenient..
Please let me know if I can help in booking this rafting trip.

Eco-Friendly Custom Villa-
The owner took great architectural consideration in using as much native natural materials as possible and still defining the comforts of the clients standards.
The foundation was constructed of gavel and the base walls of dirt. The dirt was excavated from the properties private swimming pool and filled in the earth bags. After filling the bags with gravel and dirt they are then laid one on top of the other to form the walls. The walls are then stuccoed to protect the bags from the elements and finished for a stylish unique earthen/ Adobe look. The earth bags materials are of recycled polypropylene bulk bags.
(Please see the pictures of the front of the house defining the detail of the adobe structure and look).
All the lighting fixtures and accessories were hand-made from natural materials such as wood and coconut shells, thus eliminating the use of synthetic products.
Custom low voltage LED lighting used for energy conservation.
For an unsurpassed Caribbean vacation, please visit us at Casa de Barro.

Living in Costa Rica for the past 10 years has been a true blessing. I have formerly lived in the US.
As a host- I try my best to give my guests as great as experience I can in their stay with us. I try to treat them as I have been treated in great places while vacationing. Im always looking forward to the opportunity to meet and host the next guest...

Why they chose this property
Beaches- Our location is certainly one of the greatest highlights in staying with us. Take of 5 minute walk from our villa to one of only 12 black sand beaches in the world. Yes, it is so surprising that there is only this many black sand beaches, and we get to be part of this natural beauty.
Our villa-
From my experience as a finish carpenter by trade, I always enjoyed creating, creating something different, but elegant. I also always wanted to construct a project of a more natural materials. So we did- earthen building. (Please see the description in our listing for details of this, and our Facebook page-Casa de Barro Costa Rica).
The garden- We have taken great pride in building a beautiful garden within the grounds of our villa's space. With so many tropical plants of all types. Too many to list, they vary from decorative to an edible landscape of tropical paradise. You may just be here in time to experience the ripening of the edible landscape has to offer.....
Private Swimming Pool- The size of our swimming pool is 3 x 5 meters and sloped to the deepest depth of 2 meters. I would say one one the greatest enjoyments our guests experience is the warm temperature of the pool. Surprising you would say- why would you want the water to be warm? The reason for this is most in-ground swimming pools are just that in-ground. They are constructed, as the earth cools the water. Once this water is cooled, it can be unpleasant, as the warm outside air becomes in too much contrast with the water temperature. So, we took this into consideration and stuccoed the pool dark colors, which absorbs the heat from the sun, heating the water. This makes for a much greater experience while spending your time by the pool....
Restaurants- We are within a 5 minute drive of over 60 restaurants in Puerto Viejo. This is said to be one of the most diverse towns to dine in in all of central America.
This towns nightlife, day tours and activities is a paradise experience for vacationing...
