Our stay at Worthy’s house was the highlight of our trip to Santa Teresa. The house itself is magic. It perfectly captures indoor-outdoor Costa Rican living while being unique enough that you don’t feel like you’re in every other rental. Our family loved hanging out together in the common areas and the bedrooms were comfortable with great AC. The location is ideal; it felt private and tucked away from the main road but easily accessible (up a very bumpy hill). Worthy was a fantastic host, super responsive and kind! If you're looking for a stylish, comfortable home base in Santa Teresa, this is it. We didn’t want to leave!

We enjoyed staying at Worthy's place despite it being our hardest BNB experience. It was a great location despite the roads being difficult to drive on. The power went out once due to their own issue, the other being the whole penisula. The water also went out for awhile because it ran out the tank. During all of this, they communicated with us very well. We however, did not like how the cleaning ladies where there every morning and just walked in with no notice. It did not give our family the privacy we are accustomed too. So if you don't mind the cleaners just walking in, and most likely the power going out a lot, not due to their own doing, I would say the place is great.

Arriving at Worthy's house was a wonderful experience. We were delighted with the view, the pool and the bedrooms. An excellent option for a large group. We were six adults and it was very comfortable. Even the poolside grill detail was more than useful. The house was also provided with the necessary kitchen items to make the stay complete and there was even a daily cleaning service. 100% recommended. Judit was very kind and helpful throughout the stay.

Walking in to the house the first time was like something out of a movie. The landscaping leading up to the door was beautiful and consistent with the natural state of Costa Rica. The view when you open the door is hard to put into words. The day we arrived there were even monkeys playing in the trees above the pool. We loved our stay and would highly recommend. Note: A four wheel drive vehicle is recommended especially if you come during the rainy season as the road to the house can get washed out. Or you can rent an ATV in town like many people do.

We had a lovely two-week stay at the house. Compared to other stays in Santa Teresa, the house is updated and well-maintained. Despite its jungle location, we did not experience problems with bugs or other wildlife. The view is outstanding, as advertised. We did have to contend with construction work from the house above most days. The pool is lovely, but it is mostly shady, so worth knowing it doesn’t warm as much as a pool that receives sunlight. The home could use more seating options; there is no sofa. On the other hand, it has a very cool net which serves as a hammock of sorts. While our needs were met, the communication from the host and staff was more distanced than what we’ve experienced with other Santa Teresa stays. (We stayed for 2 weeks and never actually met the host/ concierge.) Overall, we’d recommend the house, especially for families with older kids, and especially once nearby construction ends.

Honestly, one of the most amazing places I’ve stayed. Host was so communicative and beyond helpful. Would most definitely stay again.

Thank You Daisy for your time and nice words! We would love to host you again! Judit

Amazing house, modern and well decorated, fully equiped. Perfect to disconnect and relax with a great view and the sound of birds and waves. A cleaning lady and a maintenance man for the pool came everyday. Few points worth mentioning: Although the location is close to the Main Street, we need a 4x4 or ATV to get to the house as the hill is steep and the road is bumpy. There is a construction site nearby that starts pretty early, and there are no blinders in the room, so be ready to wake up early - which is fine as it is Santa Teresa vibe anyway. Last, a mosquito repellent is an absolute must to enjoy the outdoor space that is gorgeous. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and highly recommend!

Beautiful house that matches the pictures. The house is beautiful, clean and spacious. The rooms do not have blackout curtains thus you will be waking up at sunrise if light bothers you. Sunrise happens as early as 5:00AM. There is construction next door that also starts very early and ends late, everyday! We went with two women that did not feel comfortable enjoying the pool because of this, the men were even looking at me while I was in the pool (I did not mind) the host can plant some plants to block their view, easy to do. We ran out of electricity one day for a few hours, another day the internet went down and lastly the water ran out, which took hours to fix. They can provide bathroom toiletries or event salt in the kitchen. We loved the house since it’s modern, the most amazing ocean views with great proximity to ocean. The town is magnificent and great restaurants. They include a daily cleaning service which is great, the house is always clean. Pricy for what one gets.

Thank you Luis for your evaluation and taking the time to evaluate us, we appreciate it. 1- We are very sorry for the works being carried out next to our property, it is something that is out of our hands. We will try put more plants around it to see if we can block more of the views. 2- About electricity, internet and water: in the rainy season it is very common for these things to happen. Electricity and internet were out of reach, as was the public water supply (we order truck water immediately and it only lasted a few hours). 3- You always find bathroom items in the bathrooms (shampoo, gel and shower, hands and face towels) and also basic elements for cooking such as salt, sugar, pepper and oil, so we do not understand this point well. Thank you again for your time, had been a pleasure to host you!

This home on the hills was an absolute dream come true! Waking up to the beautiful view of the sea was everything I needed and more. The house fit our group of six very well. Every room was very clean and the concept of the house was beautifully designed. We loved hanging out on the deck and laying out on the net. The pool was very lovely too. We had the best time. Thank you to your team for creating such a beautiful space and welcoming us into your home. We appreciate all of your guidance and support throughout our trip.
