Private home nestled in Dominical, Baru de Lagunas. Lush and green year round. The average day temperature is 83°. Night temps in the 70's makes for great sleeping. Lagunas is Predominately an American neighborhood, great road, and approximately 2 kilometers from the main road.
CasaBlanca has lush valley views that are ever changing, starting with the magnificent sunrise. The calming view from the veranda is three mountain ranges one of which is Mt. Chirripo. It’s Costa Rica’s highest mountain range it has an elevation of 10,0000 ft. by mid morning the top of Mt. Chirripo is always covered in clouds. On rainy days you will often see waterfalls and beautiful rainbows on the mountains across the valley.
You can start your day off with the sounds of chattering birds, ocean breezes and a cup of Costa Rican coffee (our favorite is Selecto) on our covered veranda. Enjoy breakfast while our resident house wren sings to you. The female was making a nest in the house rafters when we left in late April. When you are having breakfast add a banana or two in the small tree next to the orchid bush you will have birds visiting that tree all day long. You can pick up a two foot rack of bananas at one of the many fruit stands along the road to San Isidro for just 3 hundred colonies about .75 cents USA they are delicious.
