Our stay at Nicole’s place was magical. I cannot imagine a more perfect home for relaxing and appreciating the beauty of Costa Rica. Nicole was incredibly helpful and responsive- from logistics support to grocery recs to impressive restaurant suggestions, we were in good hands. I cannot speak more highly of this home or the care Nicole extended to our family. Thank you!
Incredibly beautiful home and location. The pool, patio and interior are all stunning. The views of the ocean from the pool are amazing. The landscaping surrounding the house has been very well done and there are many different species of fruit and flora to enjoy. Beware of the fer-de-lance in the back yard. We saw a 4ft long male just after sun down in the grass behind the patio. We also saw Scarlett Macaws, toucans, coati, agouti, parrots, frogs, tarantulas, and dozens of geckos both in and outside. Close to a beautiful beach, playa Linda, and a short drive to Dominical and Uvita. 4x4 a definite must to get up the hill to this place and to make it back down safely.
Host Response
Hi Tom. Glad to hear you had the full Costa Rican jungle experience and enjoyed your stay. Seeing all the wildlife is always exciting, and while seeing the friendly and cute ones is common, luckily, seeing the not so friendly ones is rare. But…one can never go to these environments and think that they do not exist. So thank you for reminding everyone to stay aware always wherever you are. Glad you had a good time and welcome back anytime.
Our stay was a pure experience of paradise. It’s such an incredible place to stay, so incredible we wouldn’t want to leave… We would love to stay again soon! It’s really a beautiful house with incredible garde. We saw lots of toucans, animals and even fireflies! We will keep these memories forever.
My partner and I had a wonderful time at Nicole’s place. The photos do not even begin to do it justice. It was nice having such a private area to relax in at the end of the days. It was hard to find in the dark so I suggest making sure you get there before then, (the sun sets around 5:30 pm) if possible. The area was lovely and you can easily get to many many locations nearby. I recommend the restaurant at the bottom of the hill and sadly we didn’t stop there until our last night but would have been there more if we’d known how delightful it was. The beaches nearby are all different but we enjoyed all of them. Highly recommend the Jungle ATV tour as well as GV massage who came right to the house and we were able to enjoy a couples massage poolside. Uvita was lovely to visit as well as Quepos. In the house Nicole had everything you’d need to grill, chill and enjoy. Don’t hesitate to message if you want info on the area. Thank you Nicole!!
Most amazing view ever! We had a great time enjoying the outdoor space. It was truly magical. Loved the sounds of the jungle and watching all the animals (toucans and monkeys were our favorites). We cooked dinner every evening and the kitchen had all that we needed. We would love to return!
Chefs kiss! Stunning views and a wonderful pool design. We stayed at the home pretty much the entire time relaxing, reading, listening to music and enjoying conversation.. Why would you want to leave the house with a view like this?!?!
We didn't want this vacation to end! This place was so beautiful and quiet. The pool, bar and outdoor kitchen were perfect. So well designed. We had everything we needed. We enjoyed walking the grounds and picking up fresh mangoes, coconuts, limes, starfruit and bananas. The wonderful scent of the ylang ylang trees was everywhere. Absolutely amazing. The house was spacious and we loved the doors of every room and the beautiful arched windows. Great architecture! The towels smelt fresh and were of great quality. The welcome book was truly helpful. Any question we had - the answer was in there. Very well done! One week was just not enough.
Amazing place with the most stunning view. We are so glad that we stayed here!
The place was even better than in the photos, the view was breathtaking and we quickly felt at home! We were able to see all of them full of toucans, among others! I would go back without hesitation! Thank you Nicole!
Beautiful villa with a breathtaking view. The toucans were there every morning. The house is very well equipped, whether it's the kitchen, the amount of towels available, beach chairs everything was more than perfect. The path to get to is a little daunting the first time, but you get used to it and the climb of a few minutes is fine with a 4x4. We were a little afraid that the house was not entire air-conditioned, but it was not at all an issue and we slept well in the non-air-conditioned room. We really appreciated being able to leave in the afternoon on our last day which allowed us to enjoy the beautiful pool until the very last moment. This villa will remain in our favorites of Costa Rica.
Just amazing. This house is perfect: spacious, luxurious and very well equipped. The view is beautiful, the pool spotless and the garden breathtaking. The house is very well maintained. The area is really quiet. We've seen several species of birds. Great location, close to beaches, restaurants and markets. I visited 6 houses in the same style in Costa Rica and this one is the most complete. I don't see what more could be asked for. I would go back without hesitation.
This place was a true Costa Rican experience! The drive up the mountain to the villa, the gorgeous flowers/plants/trees. The house is well stocked with essentials. The pool and view is just breathtaking! Love the memories my family made staying here. The restaurant at the driveway entrance has amazing food!
This house has one of the most beautiful views you will ever find. the pool is fantastic with a amazing outdoor kitchen and even some colorful party lights. the interior of the house is way more spacious than we expected, I would say 6 people would have more than enough room here. Piictures can't do it justice, you must see it for yourself, I highly recommend.
Amazing property that makes you not want to leave. Can't beat the views and the pictures do not even do it justice. The villa has everything anyone would ever need and more. Nicole is a very caring host and knows what she is doing.
My 18 year old son and I wanted an adventure trip as he will be starting college next year and life can sometimes get away from you with busy schedules that develop. While cruising through the Airbnb website looking at different potential location around the world we ran across this offering. We checked the activities in the area and realized that Costa Rica would fit our needs perfectly. Nicoles communication was excellent even through requested schedule changes. When we arrived we found her instructions to be spot on and the villa was even nicer than the pictures lead us to believe. We started with an ATV tour that brought us through palm trees plantations, dry and wet river beds and some jungle. We also went white water rafting, scuba diving at cano island and an amazing day on horseback through the jungle with owner/guide that is extremely knowledgeable about plant and animal life in Costa Rica. All trips were within 40 minutes of our amazing villa rental. Thanks Nicole!!
