Live in the tropics with rain, poolside, and beaches? A canvas rug just makes sense.

You can create a custom design that brings all your interior design elements together AND have the ease of sweeping and mopping along with the rest of the floor.

This area rug was stamped to look like a jute rug with detail on the border to draw the colors in the room together.

I love talking about canvas rugs. If you have questions and want a free consult on how much a canvas rug would be for your home please don't hesitate to contact mme.
Price is by the square foot according to size and design.

25 hilariously convincing reasons why THIS is the year to pack your bags, kiss your stress goodbye, and move to Costa Rica—the land of monkeys, mangoes, and magical mornings:

Your boss just scheduled another "mandatory fun" Zoom call. Time to ghost the grind.

You've developed an unhealthy relationship with DoorDash. In Costa Rica, your new delivery guy is a howler monkey tossing mangoes from a tree.

You finally realized your HOA rules are more controlling than your ex. Costa Rica’s only rule? Say “Pura Vida” and mean it.

Your snow shovel is now classified as a blunt weapon. Trade it in for a surfboard or hammock—no one’s getting frostbite here.

You need a place where lizards on your walls are considered roommates, not a reason to panic. Meet Larry the gecko. He pays rent in mosquito control.

You’re tired of politics, potholes, and paying $8 for a coffee. Costa Rica says: Relax, breathe, and here’s your cafecito for a buck.

Your dog needs a life upgrade too. In Costa Rica, dogs roam free, get adopted by three neighbors, and learn Spanish faster than most expats.

Your kids think Wi-Fi is a human right. Move here, and they’ll learn to climb trees, spot toucans, and say "hola" to real life.

You want to feel 21 again without Botox or bad decisions. Costa Rica is like a tropical time machine with better coffee.

Your body’s begging for pineapple that doesn’t taste like sadness. Here, it’s so sweet it practically winks at you.

You’re in love with gallo pinto and you don’t care who knows it. Breakfast, lunch, dinner—repeat until bliss.

You're allergic to drama, but addicted to sunshine. Costa Rica is basically vitamin D with a passport stamp.

You’ve always wanted to shower in rainwater. And here, it happens daily. Nature’s spa treatment is FREE.

You want your biggest daily decision to be: beach or waterfall? (Spoiler: You can do both.)

Because your neighbors are angry. Costa Rica’s neighbors? Sloths. And they move too slow to judge you.

You want to yell “I’m retired!” while ziplining through a cloud forest. And yes, that IS a thing.

Because plantains are misunderstood in your country. Here, they’re crispy golden goodness with every meal.

You deserve to wake up to parrots and go to sleep to frogs singing love songs. (It’s nature’s playlist. No subscription needed.)

You’ve had enough “screen time.” Let your screen be a jungle view with a side of toucan.

You secretly want to wear flip flops to everything. Weddings. Grocery stores. Hikes. No judgment.

You believe in reincarnation and want to come back as a beach dog. Why wait? Start now.

You’re ready to live in a country that has no army, but an army of smiling people. Armed only with hugs and coffee.

Your soul screamed the last time you sat in traffic. Here, traffic is two cows, a tractor, and a guy selling fresh cheese. And you’ll smile at all three.

You want to live somewhere that celebrates being happy. Costa Rica is consistently one of the happiest countries on Earth. Coincidence? Nope.

Because you're not just moving somewhere new—you're upgrading your entire LIFE. With sunshine, smiles, salsa, and sloths. Pura Vida, baby!

Ready to start packing that suitcase (or ditch everything and just bring a toothbrush and flip-flops)? Costa Rica is calling… and it has gallo pinto on the stove.

Revista Ballena Tales, 10 años exitosos.

Por Dagmar Reinhard

En el año 2007, después de un largo viaje por varios países, llegué a Uvita contratada por un amigo, gerente en el Hotel Whales and Dolphins (hoy Vista Ballena) para ser su asistente. Después de un corto período él se marchó y quedé a cargo del escaso personal, la recepción y la contabilidad. Trabajé semanas seguidas sin tener un día libre y fnalmente decidí que defnitivamente no había venido a Costa Rica para esto. Un cliente me ofreció trabajo en su empresa de desarrollo inmobiliario, esta fue una oportunidad fantástica, se me proporcionó casa, un carro y viví en las alturas de Escaleras. Hasta que de repente..., el hombre desapareció con el dinero de sus inversionistas.

¿Qué hacer ahora? Gracias a ser miembro de la Cámara de Comercio, había hecho muchos contactos. En el año 2007, la Cámara y el entonces Ministro de Turismo, Carlos Benavides, bautizaron el área de Dominical, Uvita a Ojochal como Costa Ballena.

En ese momento los medios de comunicación entre las tres aldeas eran escasos. En Ojochal ni siquiera funcionaba el servicio telefónico. Aconsejado por el ex presidente de la Cámara, comencé a editar un pequeño folleto dedicado al área, entrevistando a pioneros, empresarios y turistas. Desde el principio, Ballena Tales fue un éxito. Todos querían leer acerca de su vecino y la gente que nos visitaba. En el año 2008, la repercusión del colapso inmobiliario en los Estados Unidos se notó en Costa Ballena y muchos negocios cerraron.
