We could try to convince you how el hábita is incredible and well located but we’ll let our guests share their own vision of our loved homes. Pura vida!
lt’s a beautiful casa with a tasteful design and a lovely outdoor shower and pool. Good wifi! The complex has 3 units, each with private access to the shared garden and pool, private outdoor shower and surf board. Within walking distance of several nice restaurants and a bit further you are on one of the beautiful beaches of Santa Teresa.
El Habita couldn’t be in a more ideal location in Santa Teresa. We loved our stay here so much we extended it for 3 more days. Pura Vida 🙂
…Second review of this place ((since we loved it so much we extended)) worth both five stars every time.
Highly recommend El Hábita! Great location in North Santa Teresa. Space itself is beautiful. As a solo female traveler who works remote, I would recommend this beautiful home to anyone visiting ST. Paula was wonderful, again cannot recommend this beautiful home enough! Pura vida!
