Vacation Rental Description
The March House - for the Perfect Beach front Villa or Wedding Venue 
 
The March House, a stylish luxury beach front rental home with swimming pool, is a retreat on the serene Pacific side of Costa Rica's Nicoya Peninsula. Built for escape in real soothing tropical comfort for sophisticated travelers, March House's contemporary minimal design, and completely private accommodation, provides the most intimate stay anywhere nearby.  
 
No clutter, no annoying interruptions, no noise but nature's own; easy, pure, and blissful. Once you arrive, you may never want to leave. The March House has the most spacious and comfortable accommodation in Mal Pais. It is secluded, private, and great for anyone wishing for discreet or anonymous traveling. 
 
The styling of March House is minimalist, not distracting from decor, but harmonious with the tranquil world just outside, serving as an escape from big-city lives, and a sanctuary for docile relaxation and meditation. 
 
Local Area: 
 
Mal Pais is a tranquil little village with charming hotels and some luxury houses loosely spread out along three kilometers of road. At the southern end it borders the Cabo Blanco Nature Reserve while to the north it merges with Santa Teresa where you find shops, tourist facilities and a vibrant surfer scene. 
 
While in recent years Santa Teresa has seen a boom in development, Mal Pais has largely retained its quiet, charming atmosphere with large areas of unspoiled nature. This area is famed for being one of the top surf destinations in Costa Rica. 
 
But there are many other activities to avail yourself of; try deep sea or in-shore fishing, flying through the forest canopy on zip lines, taking horse and ATV tours through the surrounding hillside and on the beaches, nature trails and bird watching. Troops of Howler monkeys occupy the large mango trees surrounding the house, feeding on the fruit. Why not take a massage or spa treatment on our beach side rancho. So relaxing!

Just got back from spending 8 wonderful nights at the March House. If you are looking for a truly relaxing vacation void of the "rat race" this is the place. The house is absolutely amazing, everything is open allowing the cooling breeze of the Pacific to flow through the rooms relaxing the mind and body. The owner, Yan, is very accommodating and is very detail orientated. He helped arrange our travel to the house and also arranged our activities during our stay. The area the house is located in Mal Pais/Carmen/Santa Teresa is a nice quite surf town. The loud, pushy-vendor, over-crowded environment that is found in other vacation spots like Cabo and Cancun of Mexico does not exist here. The locals are friendly, laid-back and live by the motto of Costa Rica of Pura Vida. I cannot say enough about the March House, Yan, and the towns of Mal Pais and Santa Teresa. If you are looking for a relaxing, go at your own pace, dream vacation this is the place. Best vacation I have personally had, nothing but Pura Vida!

The March House is beautiful: open architecture, light and sea breezes flowing through naturally, the sound of the Pacific on the beach just in front, howler monkeys and white faced capuchin monkeys travelling across the gardens on tree tops, pelicans fishing off the beach. Good surfing right there and in Mal Pais. The staff kept the house perfectly clean, did the laundry and were very friendly. The owner did everything to make our stay enjoyable, including guiding us on a back country quad expedition and organizing some offshore fishing which was turned into sushi by a local caterer. Perfection!.

The March House well exceeded our expectations. It is beautiful, open spaces, natural light and breezes flowing through, sounds of the Pacific on the beach out beyond the gardens, monkeys drifting across the garden tree tops, pelicans fishing off the beach, wonderful surfing right in front of the house. The owner was hospitality personified, organizing a quad expedition in the back country, off shore fishing which ended on our table as sushi, expertly prepared by a local caterer. A dream stay!

Review Title : "Celebrity Get-away"

"Absolutely beautiful home and location. The house is situated on basically its own private beach outside of town. Mal Pais is much less commercialized and touristy than the more popular beach towns such as Tamarindo, and as such, the roads are quite terrible with numerous potholes. I prefer the potholes to streets crowded with tourists. The home has two maids who clean the sheets, linens, and dishes everyday.

Yan March is a great host. He really did make the trip wonderful with his recommendations on where to eat, what guides to take fishing, who to rent ATV's from, and where to take surfing lessons. Staying at his house was relaxing, and adventuresome. I hope to return someday.


As a side note, to pay for the house we were asked to send the money via bank wire prior to arrival. We were concerned at first (since we didn't know Yan), but you shouldn't worry. This method of payment is customary."

Review Title : "Amazing Propert in a Magical Place"
"We rented the March House for a week this summer. It is truly an amazing place--the architecture of the home is gorgeous- with large open rooms, a great kitchen and dining area for entertaining, beautiful contemporary furnishings and exotic tropical gardens. The house backs up to a beautiful cove beach where you can surf and swim. It's truly a magical place with amazing flora and fauna including a troop of monkeys that visits in the morning! We brought our 2 young kids and they loved it as much as we did. Yan March, the owner of the house, is warm and hospitable. He knows everyone in town and recommends wonderful service providers and tour companies. Mal Pais is a special place-- still feels off the beaten track with great beauty, wonderful restaurants and great people"

Review Title : "March 2010 Malpais vacation"

"We had a wonderful time staying at the March House. My wife commented that she slept better there than she has in years. Each night you are able to go to bed looking at beautiful stars and hearing the soothing sound of the ocean. The home is open and relaxing. We loved waking up each morning in the Master Room and watching the monkeys in the trees outside, enjoying the Papayas.
Mr. March has an eye for detail. The house is spotless and extremely well maintained. The home has two ladies who help with the upkeep of the home. Melba and Glenda are both personable and hardworking. They made sure every part of the home was clean and took great pride in accommodating our family.
My sons were able to enjoy walking from the house to the beach and fishing on the rocks with the locals. We had such a nice experience standing beside such warm and friendly locals who welcomed us in their fishing holes.
In the evenings we spent our time outside playing cards as a family on the beachside Rancho.
Mr. March was a terrific host who went out of his way to make sure we were comfortable and pleased with our stay. He spent a great deal of time offering suggestions of where we might have dinner and arranging anything we needed. Through his arrangement of a local fisherman, one of my sons caught a nine foot Sailfish.
Our experience in Malpais and the March House was outstanding. I highly recommend this for anyone who is looking for relaxation and an immaculate home. It exceeded our expectations.
