Playa Lapa

Facilities Playa Lapa Carate, Osa Peninsula Costa Rica

Playa Lapa is a private beach front residence located in Carate, on the Osa Peninsula.  This well-anointed custom home boasts 2 bedrooms, two bathrooms, and an open-air cathedral living room.  The spacious kitchen has a six-burner gas stove with oven, a refrigerator, laundry facilities and lots of cupboard space.   Included are full service place settings for 12 of china, glassware, stainless flatware, and commercial quality cookware and cutlery.  The furnishings throughout the house are custom fabricated from zebrawood and include sumptuous reclining futon armchairs with a matching futon sofa that folds out into a double bed.  With a queen and a double bed in the private bedrooms, the foldout double bed gives Playa Lapa a sleeping capacity for six.  There are spacious decks on both levels, with a private deck off the master bedroom.  Ceiling fans are located in every room, and the house is fully screened, with steel security on all windows.  Casa Playa Lapa sits on 1.6 hectares that extend from the Carate highway through a copse of lowland palms, with a sturdy footbridge over the slough that feeds the adjacent Pejeperrito Lagoon and onto the Pacific beach.  The house is powered by a hybrid system of solar and hydroelectric power generation; the use of electrically consumptive appliances like hair dryers is discouraged, in order to conserve energy.  Owing to its remoteness, Playa Lapa guests are best served by having a rental car with which to ferry supplies, as well as for personal sightseeing tours of more remote destinations on the surrounding Osa Peninsula.
