The space
Modern Beachy Bliss

Casa Dufresne is a spacious, thoughtfully designed retreat built from two shipping containers. This light-filled home features vibrant turquoise and green accents throughout, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere that captures the true spirit of Costa Rican island living.

Space to Spread Out

Casa Dufresne offers genuine comfort and thoughtful design. Two bedrooms, each with queen beds, provide the perfect retreat for couples, families, or friends traveling together. A full 1.5 bathrooms ensure everyone's comfort and convenience. The heart of the home is our expansive chef's kitchen—a rare luxury in Costa Rica—featuring a large island, stainless steel appliances, and a full dishwasher. Premium amenities like stacked washer and dryer, a dedicated workspace desk, and modern finishes throughout make this feel less like a rental and more like a true home away from home.

Your Private Backyard & Pool Oasis

Step into your private backyard, a lush tropical haven designed for relaxation and connection. The crown jewel is our breathtaking Bali-inspired shared pool—a stunning retreat where you can take a refreshing dip, lounge poolside, or simply unwind as the sounds of nature surround you. The backyard also features a standalone BBQ grill and dining table, perfect for an evening feast. When our ambient lighting comes alive at dusk, the entire space transforms into a magical setting to enjoy dinner, sip a cold drink, and create memories under the stars.

Connected & Equipped

Stay productive with fast, reliable fiber optic internet by Liberty, or simply disconnect and embrace the Costa Rican lifestyle. Every amenity has been thoughtfully selected to ensure your comfort—from the fully stocked kitchen to comfortable beds and modern furnishings. Airport shuttle services from Liberia and San José are available (additional fees apply—ask for pricing).
