Hi, Sure! Sounds good. Just make sure you get in touch with me before coming down. Just in case I rent it! I would like to send you a video of the property but this site doesn't permit it. Let me know if you want me to send it to an email ... Read More

Hi Brad, I'm located in Montezuma, about 2 k from the beach. I have a small 2 bedroom house for rent. Let me know if it's of any interest to you. Montezuma is a very nice laidback village. Have a good night. Gini Read More

Hi Ronan, It's true that there is lots of hostels out there. It's all about location, location, location. If you go where all the hostels are, you will not make it. What you offer and how you are organized will make the difference and ... Read More
What Place has the Most Sunshine and Fewest Mosquitoes (rainy season)? by Language101
Hello to all. I've been here in Costa Rica for two weeks and overall I love it. I'm looking for a place to live in the rainy season that still has a lot of strong sunshine and few mosquitoes. My sweetheart will be giving birth to our first baby ...
I agree on Palmares too. It might be a good idea to stay with an hospital not too far. Good luck, Gini Read More
Negative typist or speakers by GinnyP
I have read tons of comments on this forum and have noticed some very negative thoughts from people that say "They love Costa Rica" but still give negative advice... If you don't want others to come to Costa Rica, if your so negative ...
Hi GinnyP, I agree and I'll tell you something that maybe nobody is talking about. Letting go of material and habits is not easy at the beginning but it's all about how you see life. Here it's more about people. If you come down here ... Read More

Hi Mel, I wasn't going to make anymore comments because all the negativity is getting out of hand and I prefer to look at the positive side of things but I will just say that we are one of the few communities that has a private security group ... Read More

Hi Mel, From what I am reading, you're not the kind of person who will rent a house with ocean view, pool and a/c. You live in the mountain and eat the traditional Mexican food. It sounds like you would fit great in Montezuma. We are a ... Read More

Hey guys, Glad to be here. I'm new to this forum, and from Toronto, planning to move to CR to start a new lifestyle in this beautiful place. Just need some words of advice from you guys who have been there for a long time. Is it a good ...
Hola, I moved to Costa Rica from the Ottawa area 29 years ago and I don't regret it. I did the move at the right time. I was young and could adjust. It's not for everybody, you have to love nature and be relaxed. It's a good idea ... Read More
Best area to retire near the beach by kepakids4
We have been to Costa Rica several times and we think we have finally found the community that we wish to retire to in five years. Our community has to be near the ocean and the beaches must be somewhat gentle to swim in - not real rough like other ...
Hola SamRamon, The Montezuma area is growing. We have a public clinic (CAJA) 24 hours, 7 days a week, a private LifeGuard clinic with helicopter services in case of emergency. We also have another private clinic starting to bring new doctors ... Read More

Hi Dave, I've been in the Montezuma area for over 28 years now. I obviously like it here. But I suggest you make a list of the things you want and don't want about your new town. And as mentioned many time by others, yes, rent long term ... Read More
Nosara vs Cobano/Montezuma by HeatherUS
Hello! We are leaving the U.S. and moving our family to Costa Rica in January. We are having a hard time deciding between Nosara and Montezuma. We have three children ages 6, 5, and 2 years old. Does anyone have any experience with Del Mar ...
Hi Heather, My son has been in that school for 6 years and he loves it. I would say there are around 10000 people in the area and it might go much higher in high season with the regular snow birds for the winter. ;) I hope it helps you. Have ... Read More
