Services

This is the largest grocery story in the area. We recommend stopping here on your way to the house to get essentials like groceries, laundry detergent, favorite Costa Rican snacks, etc. It will take about 25 minutes from BM to the house. However, there are also three small markets in Ojochal along the main road when you need just a few items. Also, the nearest ATM is across the street from BM. While the vast majority of transactions can be made by credit card, you will on occasion need cash. Dollars are always accepted, in addition to Colones.

Beautiful local beach named after the two caves that lead into the ocean and are accessible during low tide. You will need $5 cash to enter and depending on the weather, you may need to cross a small creek.

Gorgeous waterfall just a five-minute walk down from the house! There is a $5 admission. The short hike is a bit slippery and steep in places but well worth it. Bring a bathing suit!
