A HOUSE FOR FLEXPIPE EMPLOYEES
The house, aptly named Casaflex, is tucked in Esterillos Oeste, a small fisherman’s village on the Pacific coast in Puntarenas Province. The house is located 20 minutes away from Jaco, a nearby tourist town and 100 km from the San Jose airport (SJO). The Casaflex home, built on a hill named Canada Hills, is in a tightly woven community of about 30 homeowners from Canada, the United States and Costa Rica. The beach is an 8-minute walk away.

A second building, independent from the main house, is located in the backyard. It has 1 bedroom with a double bed, 1 kitchenette and 1 bathroom with basic fixtures. While there is no air conditioning in the building, it does have a good breeze from the ocean.
The main building includes 1 dining room, 1 living room, 2 bedrooms with a queen-size bed each, 1 bedroom with a single bed, 1 bathroom, 1 powder room and a laundry room with washer/dryer. The bedrooms with queen-size beds are air-conditioned.
Here is a summary of the 2 buildings:
- Occupants:7
- Bedrooms: 4(Q,Q,D,S)
- Bathrooms: 2.5
The 8,463-square foot yard includes a pool, a terrace, an area to dine outside and to barbecue, and a protected spot to park 2 cars. The home is equipped with high-speed Internet (100 mpbs) for easy work and videoconference-related tasks. One can work in the dining area or outside on the terrace with a view of the pool.
In Esterillos Oeste, there are 6 little restaurants, among which Los Almendros, 2 small supermarkets, 3 windsurfing schools and 2 locations to book fishing excursions.
The nearest large town is Jaco, where there is, of course, a beautiful beach. You will also find supermarkets, restaurants, various stores, casinos, and health-related services, such as medical clinics. The nightlife is vibrant, attracting tourists, and the beach is trendy, contrary to Esterillos.
