For a few years, we researched Caribbean and South American vacation properties in Mexico, Ecuador, Panama, etc. but didn't find the "perfect" place.  We had been to Florida many times over the years with our children but didn't feel like it was for us any more.  Then we came across a booth at the Toronto Home Show that was selling Villas in Costa Rica.  A couple of months later we visited the Los Delfines Community and the building site.  We fell in love with everything about CR.  The food, the beaches, the people, the monkeys, the short 5 hour direct flight and the opportunity to be in a wonderful place whenever we choose.  It really is Pura Vida (pure life)!

​

We watched our villa being built over a year and a half via construction updates on the internet and waited for our chance to go and see it.  That happened in August 2016 and we absolutely felt at home in the Villa.  It's everything that we, and you, will need for a relaxing vacation at a home away from home.

​

The name Casa Estrella (Star House) was chosen as we found that the stars are clear and bright during Costa Rica nights, especially from the pool.

​

In addition to this new property, we also own and manage several rental properties (including a cottage) in Ontario, Canada, so we have experience keeping our tenants happy.  We hope that your first stay will lead to another, then another.  It really is that good in Costa Rica.

​

We plan to visit a couple of times a year and arrange some enhancements while we are there, including additional landscaping front and back.  So far we have added two beautiful Red Palm trees in the back yard as well as a lime tree, orange tree and avacado tree.  The three trees should provide fruit starting in 2018.  A deck beside the pool with a gazebo, among other upgrades, are part of future plans.

Pura Vida!
