The internet, with real numbers
These numbers come from a real speed test taken at the house with Starlink: 334 Mbps download, 20.66 Mbps upload and a ping of 44 ms. That is plenty for video calls, screen sharing, work in the cloud and large uploads.
Real speed test taken at the house with Starlink.
Like any satellite connection, speed can vary with the weather and with obstructions. That is why we show the test taken at the house, not a promise from a brochure.
A workday that works
The house has a desk / workspace, air conditioning in the bedrooms, ceiling fans and a quiet setting. The neighborhood is very safe and the owners live on the property.
Electricity is included up to $100 a month. If you plan to run equipment and air conditioning all day, mention it when you ask for your dates: above $100, the difference is paid by the guest.
Costa Rica is on UTC−6 all year, with no daylight saving time: one hour behind New York in winter and two in summer, and seven to eight hours behind central Europe.
Life after the last meeting
The Golfo Dulce beach is 50 m away, with calm, warm water you can swim in every morning. There are hammocks on the covered terrace.
The nearest small grocery (pulpería) is a 10-minute walk. Supermarkets, a pharmacy and the hospital are 19 minutes by car. Scarlet macaws, toucans, sloths and monkeys live around the house, and the owners share fruit from the garden.
