Almost a decade ago the Roddens found themselves in a small Costa Rican town known as Puerto Jiminez to visit a friend’s home. Puerto Jiménez is the largest town on the Osa Peninsula, Puntarenas Province, Costa Rica with a population of 1,780. It is most famous for its gold mining and logging in the 1960s.

As the Roddens stepped off the plane to what was then a gravel runway, (now paved) they realized they had found their “slice of paradise.” With the macaws flying over them, they caught a ride to what would soon become their dream vacation home. Later that trip on an evening boat ride, the Roddens realized that they would have to find a way to keep coming back. The unbeatable scenery and wildlife was addictive.

Over the past decade the Roddens have completed a full remodel of this astounding four bedroom, four and half bath home. This home is complete with a lavish master suite with private balcony. The interior balcony features two twin beds and the three additional bedrooms. Each comes with a queen bed and private bathroom with tiled shower. This home can sleep 10 easily and is perfect for vacationing families or a group of friends looking to explore nature and Costa Rican fishing.

This home is on 10 lush acres of pristine Costa Rican territory. It is not uncommon to sit at the swim up bar in your private pool and see monkeys wander through the trees. Macaws nest in the nearby trees and sloths slowly work their way through the treescape.
