Important Information
Tropical Environment
Costa Rica’s tropical climate supports a diverse range of insects, lizards, rodents, and reptiles. Although a strict pest control plan is in place to keep these creatures outside, occasional encounters with local wildlife are part of the natural experience and do not violate the rental policy. Your understanding is appreciated as you enjoy this vibrant ecosystem.
Pool Maintenance
The maintenance team will need access to the house on scheduled pool maintenance days.
Power and Water
Being situated in the jungle, occasional power outages may occur due to falling branches or weather conditions. The local water supply comes from nearby springs and may experience interruptions from time to time. Guests are kindly asked to keep these factors in mind as part of the rural and natural experience of staying in this area.

This place is truly a beautiful and peaceful retreat. Everything was exceptionally clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully maintained. My family and I had a wonderful stay and thoroughly enjoyed our time here. Having a private waterfall on the property was an unforgettable experience. The surrounding nature creates a unique sense of peace and tranquility, making it the perfect place to disconnect from everyday life and reconnect with nature. We absolutely loved our stay and would happily return. Highly recommended!

Absolutely beautiful location and perfect for our group! The accommodation is hard to find but Wil remained in contact with us prior to our arrival to ensure that we had an agreed meeting point to help us locate the property safely where we were then given a tour of the property by Monkey. The kitchen was well equipped and there was plenty of seating space. The bedrooms are spacious and upstairs both rooms have their own en suite. The pool on site was lovely and warm with a beautiful view and kitchen / BBQ area. Would highly recommend this property!

This house is simply fantastic – we had an absolutely wonderful and relaxing time there. Right from the moment we arrived, we received an extremely friendly welcome, so we felt welcomed and at home from the very first moment. The view of the sea is simply stunning and impresses anew every day – whether in the morning at breakfast or in the evening at sunset. The house itself is furnished with a lot of love for detail, stylish and cozy at the same time. There is truly nothing missing: The amenities are high-quality, well thought out, and leave nothing to be desired. Communication with the hosts was flawless Questions were always answered quickly, easily, and in a very helpful manner, so we felt well looked after at all times. Overall, this place actually exceeded our expectations.

Our stay was amazing! A little creeped out by the critters at first but I was just fine they won’t bother you at all. A 4x4 is definitely needed to access the home. We saw lots of birds, a coati on the property, and even a Capuchin monkey in the trees above the private road. The private pool was warm and perfect. I didn’t fully hike to the private waterfall after stepping into fire ants (watch your step), but my boyfriend made it down and showed me pics it was a beautiful sight to have seen. There are plenty of food options nearby and it’s a quick drive to Quepos. We also loved exploring beaches in Uvita and Dominical—boogie boarding for hours was a highlight! Playa Matapalo was especially beautiful and secluded, and Restaurante Express del Pacífico is a great stop on the way there...this place was one of our favorites to eat! We had plenty fresh linen/towels, and hot water. Very clean homeEverything we needed and more. We stayed here as a couple just us two, it was absolutely perfect.

Beautiful property and surroundings. The private waterfall was so unique and fun to visit. The toucans were fun to watch and stayed in the trees nearby for quite some time. House was very comfortable. Hosts responded quickly to every message. Very easy to stay here.
