Independent caretaking for a modern house, veggie garden and dog
Ivo and Bea invited us to sit their place during the absence of the family for 3 weeks in order to take care of their house, the dog and the vegetable garden. Their house was newly built and mostly complete, featuring large open spaces, a great kitchen and large outdoor terrace area. It has solar panels and a backup battery system, so you are not really bothered by the occasional Costa Rican power cuts. It has a nice cosy pool to cool off which is great for nightly star gazing as well! They also entrusted us with the care for the vegetable garden and plant nursery, which we enjoyed very much as we got to enjoy the harvested produce during our stay. The property is rather remote and large giving the possibility to enjoy nature with waterfalls, swimming in the creeks, wildlife and hiking right there on the spot. Bea and Ivo invited us over prior to the sit so we could get to know the house, the routines for the dog, care for the greenhouse and plant nursery, and all other specifics we needed for a good sit experience. Because they would not be reachable during their trip, they made sure we had all the info we needed. They are lovely no-nonsense people with a lot of drive and passion and great plans for the place, and it shows in the results they achieved already. They made us feel very welcome every time and have become good friends. To get to their remote sanctuary you will need to endure several kilometres of Costa Rican dirt road. Travel to the nearest city of San Isidro de el General is a bit of a journey and during the rainy season a 4wd vehicle may be necessary to reach their property. What you get for making the trip is surround hillside and mountain views, ever changing rolling cloud vistas, and a very peaceful environment with only some Tico neighbours in the distance. A lovely sit to be recommended.
