Greetings!
My name is Karen!.
I am an entrepreneur and host and have rented and hosted plenty of places for tourists.
I just acquired a beach house, vintage, and am restoring it for backapackers and other travellers!
I would love to have a nice, friendly cheerful hand to restore the house and make it mint, rich in life, neatness, and warmth!

#1-It's in front of the beach! You can go and do whatever you want, without needing to walk not even 1 block.
#2-It's in a very green natural zone: Green, Monkeys, Iguanas, Birds, Fruits, Fish, Ocean, Blue Sky. In the morning and sunset hours you'll be able to hear the birds singing and monkeys too. You'll also see iguanas very often, racoons, and fish jumping on the water.
#2-It's a house, you'll be in family environment.
#3-Beach Town Life. It's a very touristy town that keep its town life. You'll be able to meet many people like in many little towns where everyone gets to know everyone!
#4-The weather here is kind:
Blue Sunny skies from Decemeber to June! All year long is very warm, very few days of rain.
#5-It is one of the most popular tourist towns in the world from the nation:
You'll get the chance to meet hundreds of people and backpackers specially, people just like you from all around the planet.
We need people who help to revitalize this Beach House.
Mostly cleaning*️*️, refurbishing or reconditioning walls, painting them. No need to do anything dangerous like climbing to the roof. WE ARE REMODELING THE HOUSE.
Skills we need:
-Gardening: Kill & pull weeds. Make a small Hen House. Grow Pumpkins, Tomatoes & Cucumbers.
-Pool Mantainance: The house has a pool we emptied. We need to clean off the walls, and paint it.
-Carpentry: some warm rustic touches to the house and wood details.
-Electricity (Only if you have experience): How to make new connections and interruptors, some beautiful decoration.
It is a 5 bedroom 2 store house with a pool and garden. It will be very beautiful!
Electricity only if you really experience because of safety reasons.
Spanish, English.
It's a classic vintage 2 floor Beach House right in front of the beach with a big Garden and a Pool!
In it's days it was a fancy, luxurious beach house, we're talking about the 70's maybe.
We have a bedroom dedicated to Volunteers, so you would have a bed, pillow and a blanket, because it is hot.
The house has like 3 bathrooms, and of course a kitchen.
However, we soon will be moving to the Garden/Backyard and sleep in Camping Tents *️when we start to restore the bedrooms*️. We will sleep with the sound of the waves so it's gonna be very green. :)
You will have your own tent, a pillow and blankets. We got good grass so no need for airbed, we don't use one either.
We still don't know when will we start working the bedrooms, so please ask if you mind if we are doing that already or not yet. It is safe of course! It's inside the property, like all houses here we have a fencing.
-Free Monkey & Wildlife sightseeing: In the mornings monkeys come to visit, you will be able to see and hear them.
You'll also see iguanas and many many birds.
-Beachfront: Sunsets just some steps away, early moning beach walks too, you may also fish if you like it.
Kayak and Waterbike rentals are almost nextdoor. Also Sunset viewing on sailboats.
-Nightlife: Coco is known in Costa Rica as a party beach town. You'll be able to meet many people of diverse backgrounds and countries, thinking, projects, etc, young and old, and dancing. You got CocoNutz, Zi Lounge and others. You'll welcome to go at night partying, but no visitors in the house are allowed. It's our home.
-Other beaches are near. Ocotal Beach is just a 35mins walk, the way there is very enjoyable as you'll experience first hand whats the true town life in Costa Rica. It's very touristy! but it's like a Pizza, some places just remain "local". haha Very local.
-Public Transport is cheap and very accessible, buses take you to the beaches around, and they pass every 30mins till 7pm.
What this means: You will be able to get to know other beautiful beaches and places around without worrying how to come back home!
El Mirador: There's a sightseeing hill where you'll see all Coco Beach and the Ocean horizon! It's very close to the house but it's a big climb so if you're fitness person, you'll have somewhere to train and have fun while doing it!
Scuba Schools: If you like diving, or want to learn, you'll find good deals! There's many Scuba Diving Schools & Centers around, sometimes they sponsor people to become Scuba Masters etc in exchange of work... So you'll have plenty to do to get bored! :)
