The space
EVERYONE is welcome to our Beehive! That being said, let us walk you through our space:

Accessibility: The first floor is wheelchair accessible, including a bedroom in the first floor, and two bathrooms. All common areas are also accesible. There are stairs to the second floor, and third floor bedrooms.

The property: The property roughly 32291 sq feet / 3000 sq meter, it's all fenced up, and it has a large electric gate to access it.

Parking: The house has a private parking space for up to 5 cars, and there's also space on the street to park more cars if necessary. Two spaces are available for indoor parking.

Common areas: As you enter the house, you will find the dinning area to the left, and passing this area you will find the kitchen. If you walk straight up from the main door, you will find a large living area with the main tv. This living area has a large sofa bed. If you walk outside to the front view of the house, and you turn right. You will find the indoor/outdoor hot tub area, and if you were to walk to the left you'll find the firepit.

Bathrooms: There are three bathrooms in the house. One of them is attached to the living room, the other in the first floor bedroom, and the last one in the third floor master bedroom.

Bedrooms: There are three bedrooms in the house. One of them is located in the first floor. This will be located to your right as you enter the house for the first time. There's the second floor bedroom as you climb the first row of stairs. The last one will be located in the third floor.

Sleeping/beds: There is one king bed on the first floor bedroom. Another king bed is located in the master bedroom in the third floor. We have a queen bed in the second floor bedroom. The large sofa bed located in the living room sleeps four people adults, or comfortably it can sleep up to 6-8 children.

Laundry room: Attached to the kitchen you will find a room that contains the laundry room. As you pass by the refrigerator, you will find the laundry machine.

Fire pit: The fire pit is located in the front patio of the house.

Doors: There's a main door with a key lock to access the house. There's also two sliding doors that will take you to the front view of the property. One of those sliding doors is located in the living room, and another is located in the first floor bedroom.

The rest of the property is free for you to explore, and find the flora and fauna that surrounds us. There's a creek, fruit trees, and water springs for you to discover. Please be careful as you walk around, especially at night. Birdwatching can be done from the comfort of your own balcony, the first floor, or even the reading areas as the house is full of large hexagonal windows.

Guest access
Guests will have access to a 1000 foot property, and full access to the house.

Other things to note
Road: It's important to note that 9km/5.5 miles of road (20-30 minutes), the final stretch before getting to the Beehive, is a bumpy road. This road is not in the best condition, and but it's manageable with a 4x2 as long as it's a strong/tall car (no sedans); yet we recommend a 4x4. It's not a muddy road where there's risk to get stuck, in fact, the road has a solid stone base. Keep in mind that you will also have to cross a small creek (on the road), as you drive through the road.

Where you’ll be

Pocosol, Alajuela Province, Costa Rica

Located on the Caribbean slope at about 720 meters above sea level, the Beehive is surrounded by premontane rainforest is dense and rich with epiphytes and a wide variety of resident and migrant birds, frogs, reptiles, and mammals. If your passion lies in embracing the wonders of nature, indulging in birdwatching, and immersing yourself in the breathtaking rainforest, then this region is an absolute paradise for you to explore. Situated away from the bustling tourist hubs, it offers a splendid opportunity to delve into a realm of waterfalls, rivers, captivating hiking trails, and even a lake within an extinct volcano crater in close to the majestic Beehive. One of the distinctive features of this area is the substantial extent of land under the safeguard of private reserves, alongside the presence of two neighboring hydroelectric power plants.
