Description from owner

Description

Welcome to Cabinas Ola Mar. We offer one of the best accommodation deals you are likely to find in the Cabo Matapalo area. Our rental houses represent great value for your money if you are visiting Costa Rica on a limited budget. Casa Lapa our brand new fully furnished cabina, is built to accentuate the natural, open air atmosphere of this incredibly biodiverse area while providing for all of your comfort. While very reasonably priced, no expense has been spared as far as your comfort including, fully stocked kitchen, 100% cotton sheets and towels, comfortable beds and pillows, and a fully screened in living space. Set in mature tropical gardens brimming with hibiscus, heliconia and fragrant ylang ylang, shaded by coconut palms, beach almond and mango trees, the property is very secure and private with plenty of parking. There is a jungle trail that leads directly to the beach only steps from our front entrance. Cabinas Ola Mar is surrounded by lush secondary growth forest and you are sure to see and hear many of Costa Rica’s rarest birds and mammals, on a daily basis. With nature trails, waterfalls, jungle scenery, shadey rivers, uncrowded beaches and great surf breaks nearby, this is the perfect location for exploring Cabo Matapalo and the Osa Peninsula. Off the grid and off the beaten track, yet only 15kms. from the airport and Puerto Jimenez, we are just a short stroll from the internationally acclaimed ‘Martina’s Bar and Restaurant’.
