Description

Welcome to Ballena Bay! (Whale Bay)
The perfect combination of a relaxing atmosphere with plenty of adventures nearby. Enjoy the ocean sound and breeze while kicking back on the terrace complete with lounge chairs, sectional sofa, hanging chair and hammock all just steps away from the shared pool (with 8 villas) and private neighborhood beach! This villa has a fully equipped kitchen including large refrigerator with ice maker, convection cooktop, WiFi oven, dual zone wine chiller in bar area and best of all reverse osmosis water for drinking and ice. Whole house water softener as well. Full size washer/dryer with detergent is included. All beds have cushioned mattress pads and all sheets and towels are Brooklinen organic cotton or Cariloha bamboo cotton. AC in every room as well as ceiling fans. This is a free standing villa in a gated golf community with 24 hr security guards. Very safe, family friendly, beautiful landscaping with scarlet macaws, deer and howler monkeys as neighbors! It even has its own grocery store in the neighborhood. The beach bar is next door to the villas and offers karaoke on Thurs and Saturdays as well as beach volleyball on Sundays. You can even catch a Pilates or yoga class there in the mornings during season. During season (Dec-April) we have beach front weekly entertainment including music and movie nights. During the summer months you can help the Tambor BayTortuga Club patrol the beach at night for sea turtles laying eggs and locating their nests. All year long you can enjoy hiking nearby at the national parks Cabo Blanco and Curu, rock jumping at the Montezuma waterfalls, horseback riding on the beach out front, and boating excursions will pick you up on the beach for Tortuga Island, fishing, snorkeling and whale watching. So much to do! Nearby towns to explore are the laid back hippie town of Montezuma and the surfer town Santa Teresa with the best restaurants on the peninsula! Both are less than 1hr away. If you are looking for organic foods to prepare yourself there is a large organic food market at the marina 20mins away on Saturdays year round. My hope is that you will find this place as magical and fun as I do and make it your home away from home.
