Ojochal - We are in the village of Ojochal, a town noted for having great restaurants. Ojochal has about 1800 year round residents and more in the winter months. Although we don't have much of a downtown and our roads are gravel, we have nearly 35 restaurants and bars in town as well as 11 hotels. Most are on side roads off of the main road. We have a super market, a gourmet food store, wine bar, liquor, gas station, clothing store, etc. The next town north of us is Uvita where there are a number of large commercial plazas selling everything from furniture to appliances, a farmers market on Saturday, two very modern supermarkets, banks, etc.
Duty Free Appliances - There is a duty free port in Golfito, about an hour away where we can buy things like flat screen televisions, sub zero fridges, high end stoves like Viking, Jenn Air, DCS and Wolf and any really high end appliance you might want like Bosch dishwashers or Fisher and Paykel Washers, Roper or Maytag Front loaders, etc..
The Closest Major City - The city of San Isidro, also known as Perez Zeledon, is about a hour's drive from us has a Walmart, owned by Walmart but having a different name in Costa Rica, a mall, numerous large furniture and clothing stores, specialty stores and just about everything you'd find in a big city in north America.
