This is one of the finest ocean view houses in Malpais, and at a bargain price. Most of the area’s surf breaks can be seen from the spectacular infinity pool area, complete with its own private waterfall. It’s literally on a mountaintop, since the owner used to own the entire mountain that it’s on, and selling lots to many of the people whose houses you now see on this site. But he kept the best spot for himself, and built his house on it, which is now available for rent.

The house has two large bedrooms, with beds sleeping adults (Two king size beds and one folding sofa that is a double.) It has a full sized kitchen as well… everything is excellent quality.

The house has high speed WIFI and a TV with cable.

Editor’s Note: This is my personal house that I’m renting for myself for the rainy season in 2011, but I can sub-lease it to you for a week or two. It’s absolutely spectacular. The decor isn’t the most modern, and the house itself isn’t huge, but the layout, views, and connection with the amazing pool area create an atmosphere like you’re in the Garden of Eden, but on a mountaintop. You will be amazed and very happy with this choice.
