Villa 19 is a family effort. Michelle's mother, Shirlee, owns the property and hopes to live there someday when she retires. She spends her vacations in Costa Rica, in the very house you will be staying in.

Michelle, Mike and family live in the house directly behind Villa 19 and will be your property managers. Opera Salvaje is their fulltime home; and they are pleased to be a part of the community.

Czar, a 13-year old, is a good surfer. Avalon, 12, as well as Czar, likes to surf. They both spend a lot of time in the Opera Salvaje Swim Team pool, next door to their home and Villa 19.

Shirlee, in the US, is the contact person for reservations and will get back to you with answers to your questions.

We are dedicated to making your vacation pleasant and hope to pass along to you some of the things we have learned about Costa Rica.

Pura Vida!!
