Casa Celestial - Unparalleled Setting Near Herradurra, Jaco and Hermosa

The Location
Casa Celestial is located in a sprawling, secure, gated community in the Jaco/Los Sueños area and, as its name suggests, occupies a heavenly perch atop a small mountain peak high above the fishing village of Tarcoles on the Central Pacific coast of Costa Rica.  There she commands majestic views of the ocean, the fields, forests,  and rooftops of the village below, and the surrounding mountain.  The air here is quite possibly the freshest you have ever breathed, and at this altitude, the constant cooling breezes are always present, moderating, and welcome.
The House
!!THE RENOVATIONS ARE NOW COMPLETE!! (SEE THE NEW PHOTOS)
The open concept main floor of this two-level Mediterranean style luxury villa is bright, airy, spacious yet comfy, and as you look out in any direction, you are surrounded by the beauty of nature. In addition to the just completed, fully renovated kitchen, dining and living rooms, there is also a Bedroom with a Queen size bed and a separate full private bathroom on the 1st floor.
The second floor features three Bedrooms suites. Two of the suites feature King size beds, and the third has a Queen size bed. The two "Kings" include en suite bathrooms.  One has an ocean view while the other has a balcony and a mountain view.  The "Queen" has an adjacent full private bathroom and mountain view.  Also, on the second floor is the media/entertainment room complete with an ocean view.
The Outdoor Area
Of course, you won't want to spend all day indoors, so walk on out to the outside area which boasts  an infinity pool that hangs over the edge of the mountain. There you can take a swim, sunbathe, read a book, enjoy coffee in the morning or an adult beverage or two in the afternoon or evening, or play a game of cards with your friends.  
Take a stroll around our beautiful garden just to take in the scenery and serenity, and pick some fresh fruit if in season.  If you need shade or a little bit of peace and quiet, you can also relax on the covered front patio and enjoy the gorgeous mountain views. In the evening, be sure to take in the most spectacular sunsets you will ever see.
The outdoor area also features a beautiful and one of a kind palapa dining area. The palapa has running water, lighting, and is always cool enough to be suitable for outdoor meals. Additionally, there is an outdoor cooking/bar area complete with a BBQ grill, water, and electricity to enhance your casual dining and evening entertainment experiences.
During your stay, you are likely to encounter many of the species of wildlife Costa Rica has to offer.  You will be treated daily to the sight of a wide variety of birds, such as Macaws, Toucans, and Quetzals, as well as many different butterflies.  Monkeys, Iguanas, Sloths, White-Tailed Deer, and Armadillos are just some of the animals spotted on or around the property.
