The closest way from San Jose is taking the ferry from Puntarenas to Playa Naranjo. When coming off the ferry, you turn left onto the road to Paquera (turn left at first crossroads, the gas station is located at right hand side). After 1,5 miles there is a little village called Bajos Negros. You will see a big sign for Playa Blanca and Roma del Mar, please take a left and turn left again after 500 m into the big entrance with the Columns. Follow the street for about 2 minutes and you will see a red building on your right-hand side. This is our onsite grocery store where you will meet our rental manager.
