Pura vida in the jungle - Houses for Rent in Savegre, Provincia de Puntarenas, Costa Rica

We really had an amazing stay in this beautiful house in the heart of nature. What a change of scenery! We 100% recommend it! It's magical!

Nous avons vraiment passé un séjour incroyable dans cette magnifique maison en pleine nature. Quel dépaysement ! Nous recommandons à 100% ! C'est magique !

Our stay at Mandy's didn't go as planned, as there was construction work in the area that made getting around rather complicated. However, she was very responsive and we were able to relocate without any problems. We appreciated their responsiveness and communication in general. Once the work is completed, we are sure it will be a wonderful place for nature lovers to stay for a few days!

Notre séjour chez Mandy ne s’est pas déroulé comme prévu puisqu’il y avait des travaux dans le secteur qui ont fait en sorte que se déplacer était plutôt compliqué. Toutefois, elle a été très réactive et nous avons pu nous relocaliser sans problème. Nous avons apprécié sa réactivité et sa communication en général. Une fois les travaux terminé, nous sommes certain que ce sera un magnifique endroit où résider pour quelque jours pour les amateurs de nature!

Mandy's place is one of those Air Bnb that makes the whole platform worthwhile. An absolute peaceful heaven with the best sunrise I've ever seen. We were lucky enough to have a whole capuchin family pass by along with Toucans and much more. Pro tip! Get your groceries before arriving, it's quite a hassle to get in and out, but once you're there you won't want to leave! We were ready for mosquitoes with a couple of Thermacells but we didn't even end up using them! A+++ all the way.

Thank you for the best review we’ve had to date! we feel the same 💞

We stayed 10 days at Mandy’s and I could’ve stayed longer! Her home is very secluded, private, and nestled in the jungle. The pool and yard are a beautiful oasis where you can enjoy the sunshine and connect with nature; watching toucans and perhaps spotting a sloth high up in the treetops. There is so much to do in the area - beautiful beaches, surfing, waterfalls, hikes and so much more to explore. Highly recommend!

Our stay at Pura Vida in the Jungle was an excellent experience. Since we arrived, it feels like a special place, surrounded by jungle, with incredible views and a tranquility that is difficult to find. The accommodation is very well integrated with nature. The architecture and spaces really make you feel like you're in the middle of the jungle, enjoying the sounds of the forest and the surroundings from almost anywhere in the house. The pool and terraces were definitely our favorite places. Having breakfast there while listening to toucans and other species of birds was something unique and very special. The host Mandy, with the help of Monica, were excellent: always attentive, quick to respond. Everything was clean and ready when we arrived. As a recommendation, it is important to have a 4x4 vehicle, since the road can be challenging, but it is definitely worth it.

Nuestra estancia en Pura Vida in the Jungle fue una excelente experiencia que. Desde que llegamos se siente que es un lugar especial, rodeado de selva, con vistas increíbles y una tranquilidad difícil de encontrar. El alojamiento está muy bien integrado con la naturaleza. La arquitectura y los espacios hacen que realmente te sientas en medio de la jungla, disfrutando de los sonidos del bosque y del entorno desde casi cualquier punto de la casa. La piscina y las terrazas fueron, sin duda, nuestros lugares favoritos. Desayunar ahí mientras escuchábamos tucanes y otras especies de pajaros fue algo único y muy especial. La anfitriona Mandy con ayuda de Monica fueron excelentes: siempre atentas, rápidas para responder. Todo estaba limpio y listo cuando llegamos. Como recomendación, sí es importante contar con un vehículo 4x4, ya que el camino puede ser retador, pero definitivamente vale la pena.

Thank you! One can only hope for houseguests such as yourselves! This review perfectly captures our Home and what we hope to share with others

The house was beautiful and the location is breathtaking. A great place to disconnect 😊 Thank you so much.

What an amazing adventure and peaceful retreat what feels to be in the treetops of The jungle. Extremely private - We saw monkeys, toucans and so many birds every day. Our favourite spot was sitting on the deck watching the sunrise and the evenings settling into the jungle. The pool was a lovely retreat from the heat. Not far from amazing beaches - and great recommendations from Mandy on local beaches and waterfalls. Mandy was so responsive and caring - we are forever grateful for the opportunity to stay here and the memories made.

We spent 4 weeks with the family. It offers a very nice view and the presence of animals delighted us. However, we felt that the house had not been prepared for our stay. A lot of repairs weren't done when we arrived. The bathroom lock was broken leaving the possibility of entering the house. The gate was blocked upon arrival, we left the car outside. Unusable pool furniture because it's broken. The kitchen lacks equipment, not enough dishes, missing an oven no dishwasher. It is missing a table to have a meal inside (house overgrown with insects in the evening and a lot of rain). Very wet house. Attention, we had 3 bedrooms, the 4th room is a reserve, no bed, only storage and household products. Very difficult to access house, 4X4 mandatory for 7 km. We had a different with the owner on a reproduced damage that we were not originally responsible for.

Nous avons passé 4 semaines en famille. Elle offre une vue très agréable et la présence des animaux nous a ravis. Cependant nous avons eu l'impression que la maison n'avait pas été préparée pour notre sejour. Beaucoup de réparations n'étaient pas faites à notre arrivée. La serrure de la salle de bain était cassée laissant la possibilité de rentrer dans la maison. Le portail était bloqué à notre arrivée, nous avons laissé la voiture dehors. Du mobilier de piscine inutilisable car cassé. La cuisine manque d'équipement, pas assez de vaisselle, manque un four pas de lave vaisselle. Il manque une table pour prendre un repas à l'intérieur (maison envahie d'insectes le soir et beaucoup de pluie). Maison très humide. Attention, nous avons eu 3 chambres, la 4ème pièce est une réserve, pas de lit, que du stockage et produits ménagers. Maison très difficile d'accès, 4X4 obligatoire sur 7 km. Nous avons eu un différent avec la propriétaire sur un dégât reproché dont nous ne sommes pas à l'origine.

Excellent stay. Monkeys, lazy, toucans, hummingbird, morphos... at the rendezvous right in front of the terrace. Wonderful show when you wake up. Perfect house for 6 and during our period (August). Thanks to Monica and Mandy

Excellent séjour. Singes, paresseux, toucans, colibri, morphos... au rendez-vous juste devant la terrasse. Spectacle merveilleux au réveil. Maison parfaite pour 6 et lors de notre période (août). Merci à Monica et à Mandy

We had a great time at the property. A beautiful house in the middle of the jungle. The huge glass windows overlooking the jungle are stunning.

Wir hatten eine tolle Zeit in der Unterkunft. Ein wunderschönes Haus mitten im Dschungel. Die riesige Glasfenster mit Blick in den Dschungel ist atemberaubend.

We had the pleasure of staying 3 nights at this wonderful property. The house is stunning and the setting spectacular with jaw dropping views and was well worth the steep and bumpy drive! 4x4 recommend... We were not blessed with the best weather whilst there but we still saw some amazing animals in the grounds and were able to use the pool a little. The house is well equipped with everything you could need in the kitchen for our family of 4. Just so you are aware there are 2 bedrooms upstairs and one downstairs with the bathroom so may not be suitable for everyone. We would not hesitate to recommend this house for a relaxing few days to escape the world.

We had a very nice stay at Mandy's jungle house. We were able to see many animals, including toucans, monkeys and an aguti. The pool was very clean and nice and the place had everything we needed. In particular, the washing machine and drying room were useful. The approach is via gravel paths and is sometimes very steep. We had to start with front drive several times to make the last driveway. Four-wheel drive and enough ground clearance therefore definitely make sense. But the path is worth it and we can highly recommend the place.

Wir hatten einen sehr schönen Aufenthalt in Mandys Dschungelhaus. Wir konnten viele Tiere beobachten, unter anderem Tukane, Affen und ein Aguti. Der Pool war sehr sauber und schön und die Unterkunft hatte alles, was wir benötigten. Insbesondere die Waschmaschine und der Trockenraum waren nützlich. Die Anfahrt geht über Schotterwege und ist zum Teil sehr steil. Wir mussten mit Frontantrieb teilweise mehrmals ansetzen, um die letzte Auffahrt zu schaffen. Allradantrieb und genügend Bodenfreiheit macht daher definitiv Sinn. Der Weg lohnt sich aber und wir können die Unterkunft wärmstens weiterempfehlen.

We spent 10 days quietly at Mandy's. The jungle environment and views are amazing! Fans in every room, screens on the windows, it was impeccable! Attention, 4x4 essential to get up to the house. Lots of mosquitoes during this time, both day and night, they dissuaded us from enjoying the terrace and pool ahah

Nous avons passé 10 jours au calme chez Mandy. L'environnement dans la jungle et la vue sont incroyables ! Ventilateurs dans chaque pièce, moustiquaires aux fenêtres, c'était impeccable ! Attention, 4x4 indispensable pour monter jusqu'à la maison. Beaucoup de moustiques en cette période, aussi bien le jour que la nuit, ils nous ont dissuadés de profiter de la terrasse et de la piscine ahah

The house was everything we had hope for, we had an amazing time staying there. It was truly a magical place, the connection with nature was unbelievable. It was a bit rough getting there but Monica (manager) was extremely helpful and went out of her way to make sure we arrived. There are so many things to do around the area 100% recommend.

Don’t consider this place for any reason. Mandy had someone enter the home and “clean” without our knowledge or consent during our stay and they stole from us. On top of the safety issue of having strangers enter our rental where all of our belongings were stored and meant to be private… absolutely unacceptable

Guest safety and comfort is the top priority for myself as a host and the property manager. While I am still trying to understand what exactly occurred I can comment that I did not approve anyone’s entry into the property while rented. As soon as I became aware of the issue I engaged the past guests and am trying to resolve the issue. As to the state of cleanliness, I’ve never received poor reviews before and can ensure future guests that the house is well maintained. I cannot speak for how airbnb handled the complaint but can assure future guests by communicating that the file was closed without any findings of wrongdoing so I will let guests determine for themselves if they feel safe booking. I do regret this unfortunate circumstance and the stress it has caused the pst guest and assure future guests every effort has been taken to prevent future incidents.

Our family very much enjoyed our stay here! Early mornings were our favorite.

Mandy's house is in a very quiet location with great views of the jungle and the surrounding mountains. The whole house and property is in a very good condition, the garden is very well maintained with a very nice pool. But you definitely need a 4x4 to get to the house. Mandy and Jessica responded quickly to requests and were very helpful. Thank you for a great time. p.s. This year we were able to see a black jaguar in the wild for the first time in the 7 years we have been in Costa Rica.

A fantastic house in an idyllic location, clean, very well equipped, easy check-in with combination lock. But a bit adventurous approach (4x4 recommended).

Ein traumhaftes Haus in idyllischer Lage, sauber, sehr gut ausgestattet, einfacher Check-In mit Zahlenschloss. Aber etwas abenteuerliche Anfahrt (4x4 empfohlen).

We love the house and all its surroundings!! It is surrounded by vegetation, the house and its views. We had a few mind-blowing days!! Highly recommended

Amamos la casa y todo su entorno!! Está rodeada de vegetación, hermosa la casa y sus vistas. Pasamos unos días alucinantes!! Súper recomendable

Great home with lots of space settled in a very secluded spot in the jungle. Thanks for sharing your home with us!

This was the best bnb we’ve been to. The house is beautiful, the view is amazing, the pool is warm. Our host was really friendly and helpful. It’s a 15 min drive to the beach/Dominical and the road is a bit bumpy but doable with an SUV 2x4 during the dry season. We saw monkeys and toucans. I would recommand 100%!

Mandy's amazing jungle villa is located near Dominical. With a 4x4 it's a fun drive to the location. If you want to stay in the jungle in the most beautiful home this is the spot! Mandy was really helpful and so kind! We would love to come back.

Casa Mandy was exactly what my body, heart & mind needed on my Costa Rician adventure. Mandy was very helpful and patient with all of my questions & was quick to reply. The space is stunning, nestled into the hillside of a biodiverse mountain jungle. Watching the sunrise over the mountain peaks across the valley was a daily joy for me. The house manager, Jessica, was so calm, thoughtful & considerate during my entire stay. I left like I had special insider knowledge right from the start. A short (bumpy) 15 minute drive down the mountain you’ll be at the quaint surf town, Dominical where you’ll fine artisan shops, a health food store, great beginner surf waves, yoga studios, micro breweries & more. There are lots of beaches and waterfalls to explore in the area as well. In short, this place is tranquil, quiet and peaceful. Good for a personal retreat away from the hustle & bustle of city life. Wifi and power occasionally dropped out which is pretty common for Costa Rica. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
