2BR house in Montezuma

Casa Los Cedros in the heart of the Blue Zone - Houses for Rent in Montezuma, Puntarenas Province, Costa Rica

This home was beautiful and rustic, the views were gorgeous, the pool was amazing, Lori and Jason were VERY responsive and accommodating, but we went at the start of the rainy season, and it is important to know a few things: The rainstorms bring a torrent of bugs. Hundreds. My threshold for bugs is quite high, but this was *a lot*, they were literally everywhere and always on us. There is no indoor living room, just the seating on the balcony, and there are no screens on the windows, so during (and after) the storm we just stayed in the mosquito netted bed. We got dozens of mosquito bites still. The road to the house requires 4x4, especially in the rainy season. Period. This is a very peaceful, secluded location in the jungle and only about 10 min from town. It's a lovely place, just be prepared for interaction with jungle bugs.

The house is a bit run-down, and there were an awful lot of animals in the house. We never had food leftovers lying around or windows/doors open, and yet everything was full of ant trails and the like. The fan in the lower bedroom was broken and didn't turn. The fan in the upper bedroom was very small and could not be adjusted. The pool was not as described in the pictures. The water was extremely cloudy and not filtered. The outdoor area was not well maintained, and everything was dry. The kitchen was well stocked and the terrace or balcony was very nice, and we enjoyed spending time there. In addition, the view was outstanding! Lori and Jason were always available and extremely accommodating. The communication was great!

Das Haus ist etwas heruntergekommen und es waren äußerst viele Tiere im Haus. Wir hatten nie Essens Reste herumliegen oder Fenster/Türen auf und dennoch war alles voller Ameisen Straßen und ähnlichem. Der Ventilator im unteren Schlafzimmer war kaputt und hat sich nicht gedreht. Der Ventilator im oberen Schlafzimmer war sehr klein und ließ sich nicht justieren. Der Pool war nicht wie auf den Bildern beschrieben. Das Wasser war äußerst trüb und nicht gefiltert. Der Außenbereich war nicht gepflegt und alles trocken. Die Küche war gut bestückt und die Terrasse bzw. Balkon war sehr schön und dort haben wir uns gerne aufgehalten. Zudem war die Aussicht überragend! Lori und Jason waren jederzeit erreichbar und äußerst zuvorkommend. Die Kommunikation lief super!

A very nice place to spend time with family.

Lugar muy bonito para pasar con la familia

We loved the house—private, safe, with large windows, lots of light, and good ventilation! We loved it! The pool was amazing, so relaxing! And the view is a spectacle! The sunrises! We'll be back.

Nos encantó la casa, privada, segura, con ventanas grandes, entra mucha luz y ventilación! Nos encantó! La piscina waoo relajante! Y la vista un espectáculo! Los amaneceres! Volveremos

Beautiful place and very quiet. We felt safe at all times… The apartment is located near Playa Cedros, a beautiful beach. The house has an ocean view with incredible sunrises, and there is a private pool with lights and everything you need to have a great stay…

Hermoso lugar y muy tranquilo. Nos sentimos seguros en todo momento… El apartamento se encuentra cerca de Playa Cedros, una playa hermosa. La casa tiene vista al mar con amaneceres increíbles y hay piscina privada con luces y tiene todo lo necesario para tener una buena estancia…

We had an amazing time at the house! A 4x4 is really recommended like everywhere in Costa Rica. The house is really nice and the sunrise in the morning from the master bedroom is amazing. We had a lovely time :-)

Beautiful surroundings Rather rustic "country" house, good if you are not looking for modern comfort. The pool is nice and the view is breathtaking, especially at sunrise. Jason is very attentive.

Bel environnement Maison de « campagne » assez rustique, bien si l’on ne recherche pas le confort moderne . La piscine est appréciable et la vue imprenable surtout au levé du soleil Jason est aux petits soins

It was a very pleasant stay, a beautiful place, very close to the beaches, a beautiful view; perfect for relaxing with the family

Fue una estadía muy agradable, un lugar hermoso, muy cerca de las playas, una vista hermosa; perfecto para descansar en familia

View, pool, connection with birds. Very quiet. A place to connect

Vista, piscina, conexión con las aves. Muy tranquilo. Un un lugar para conectar

A very nice area, spectacular sunrises and a very refreshing pool in such heat.

una zona muy bonita, amaneceres espectaculares y una piscina muy refrescante en tal calor.

The place is extremely beautiful, the views are amazing, the space was clean and tidy, added to the comforts provided by the house, it is an incredible option to stay, very grateful to Lori and her partner!

Thanks for your amazing review, we’re so glad you enjoyed your stay.

Absolutely loved our stay! The house was spotless, with incredible views and a stunning pool that made it feel like a private paradise. The property is spacious and secluded, offering plenty of peace and quiet. The hosts were fantastic friendly, welcoming, and always quick to respond. We felt well taken care of throughout our entire stay. Highly recommend this place and can’t wait to return!

We enjoyed our stay at Lori and Mike's house. We had privacy and it isn't far from Montezuma or Cabuya. We were really grateful for the pool. The road is rough leading into the property but most rural roads in CR are like that. If you're driving in CR you really need a 4W drive anyway.  We walked down the hill to Cedros beach and it took about 15 min.

Thank you for choosing our spot. We are so happy that you enjoyed it. Please come back

We had a great time in montezuma. Good facilities, nice pool. You‘ll need a 4x4 to get there without any problems.

We really enjoyed our stay at Casa Los Cedros. Just the right mix of rustic jungle vibes and amenities. The view is amazing and the pool was so refreshing. I recommend getting up early enough to watch the sunrise over the ocean from the pool. Pure magic. Jason, the caretaker was very friendly and helpful but absolutely allowed us our privacy. Lori and Mike were excellent hosts and provided us with all the info we needed logistically as well as loads of recommendations for local restaurants and activities. Montezuma + Cabuya make for a great base camp to explore the region from. Plenty of restaurants to choose from and a local grocery well stocked enough to cook from home if desired. Looking forward to returning!

Thanks for choosing our spot. We are excited To host you again

We loved it!!!! In nature, very quiet, a little far from the action, very steep and long slope to get to (4x4essential), but beautiful, large house, lots of space, very well equipped for cooking, the beautiful pool... we spent all our evenings there, also on the large balcony! It smelled really good of the flowered trees when they arrived, the hibiscus hedges were so pretty! The neighbor's very nice animals (dogs, chickens). We would have appreciated more towels, other loungers and clean sheets. I communicated all this with host Lori and she said she would take care of it!!! Our stay was memorable ♥️

Nous avons adoré !!!! Dans la nature, très tranquille, un peu loin de l’action, pente très abrupte et longue pour se rendre (4x4essentiel), mais de toute beauté, grande maison, beaucoup d’espace, très bien équipée pour cuisiner, la piscine magnifique… nous y avons passé toutes nos soirées, aussi sur le grand balcon ! Ça sentait vraiment bon les arbres fleuris en arrivant, les haies d’hibiscus tellement jolies! Les animaux (chiens, poules) du voisin très gentils. Nous aurions apprécié plus de serviettes, d’autres chaises longues et des draps propres. J’ai communiqué tout ça avec l’hôte Lori et elle a dit qu’elle allait s’en occuper !!! Notre séjour était mémorable ♥️

Our stay at Lori’s and Mike was perfect! The house is comfortable, the view beautiful and the pool a big plus every morning! The patio was a perfect place to have our meals, with a view and the sound of birds and bats! Be sure to have a 4x4 because the road is difficult without it. Thanks again! We had a wonderful time!

Thanks for your great feedback. Yes, I didn’t think about you taking the back roads to Malpias. It’s you early in the season for that, the rainy season just ended. In a week or two they will scrape out road and then it becomes much smoother and easier. It’s the balance of do we as neighbors pace the road but then lose all of our privacy because then that hill will become a main road from delicios to the beach.

Great stay, quiet and exotic place 🌴🌞 Very beautiful pool. I would recommend it

Super séjour, endroit calme et exotique 🌴🌞 Très belle piscine Je recommande

Lori followed our arrival remotely, Jason greeted us with kindness. The house is very clean, with a nice ocean view, a well-maintained garden, a beautiful terrace and a much-loved pool! The access is a little steep and the path full of holes, it is better to have a 4x4 to get there serenely. Beautiful stay at Lori's, between Montezuma and Cabuya!

Lori a suivi notre arrivée à distance, Jason nous a accueillis avec gentillesse. La maison est très propre, avec une belle vue sur l’océan, un jardin bien entretenu, une belle terrasse et une piscine très appréciée ! L’accès est un peu raide et le chemin plein de trous, il vaut mieux avoir un 4x4 pour y arriver sereinement. Très beau séjour chez Lori, entre Montezuma et Cabuya !

The house was cool and the kids loved the pool. There was ample room and the indoor/outdoor aspect was appreciated. We didn't end up using the third bed as it was a box spring without a mattress on top and it was deemed uncomfortable by both children. The host was very responsive and offered lots of suggestions. The road there is definitely intense. We saw a car that didn't have four wheel drive not able to make it up and it was a bit of a challenge for our car, which was a pretty wimpy four wheel drive. It was hot in Costa Rica while we were there. Evening lows on a few nights were 27C and the house didn't cool down until early morning. That, combined with the rooster which often started crowing before 6 am, made a restful night challenging. The living area faces east and gets full sun for most of the morning and doesn't have any curtains. We felt safe but many of the windows had broken latches.

Bryn, We usually value our guests feedback. Although there are many exaggerations in your review. The so called “boxsprings” is a new twin mattress! As listed in our posting. Your family is maybe the fourth guest to be there after we bought it. I texted you the first morning after you had stayed the night to check in with you and see how things were going and you responded with this. “First night was good” Yes, the road is a typical dirt road in Costa Rica and that is why we have in our listing and confirm with everyone that they should rent a 4x4 Yes, our neighbor has a rooster but to be honest I don’t think over ever stayed anywhere in Costa Rica over 25 years that we have not heard roosters at some point. You should bring earplugs when you travel to tropical places, must have roosters. Or go to Hawaii to an all inclusive. Sorry but we will never put curtains in our outdoor seating area and block the beautiful ocean view. There are brand new blackout shades in both bedrooms that face the same direction. Next time you should stay at the Four Seasons, It doesn’t seem like “real Costa Rica” is for you.

This is a wonderful home. Jason was there to let us in as soon as we arrived. It is hot in Montezuma, no doubt, but with the all windows and big doors open, the breeze comes through beautifully. And of course the pool is beautiful and relaxing. The sunrises are amazing too. This is a wonderful home!

Access to the house with 4x4 required. (4kms of slopes) Ocean views from home Access to Montezuma in 15 minutes.(beautiful beaches) Access to Santa Teresa for surfing in 30 minutes (rent surf board) Wonderful memories. Total change of scenery.

Accès à la maison avec 4x4 obligatoire. (4kms de pistes) Vue sur l'océan depuis la maison. Accès a Montezuma en 15 minutes.(belles plages) Accès a Santa Teresa pour faire du surf en 30 minutes (rent surf board) Magnifiques souvenirs. Dépaysement total.

This place is magical! The morning view at sunrise on the terrace gives you a smile for the day! Monkeys , iguanas, and other wild animals are in the garden! The children(3.7 and 10 years old ) were not reassured on the first night, but delighted the following days! The house is very nice: fans, screens , well-equipped kitchen, impeccable bedding and superb pool in the garden with hammock and lounge chair. Great communication with Lorie and Jason who takes care of the welcome. Jason always responded present when he was asked for information or services . Access to the house is not easy: 4*4 required . The area is great ( waterfall, beaches, tour ) The most beautiful place in costarica we've stayed in

Cet endroit est magique ! La vue le matin au lever du soleil sur la terrasse vous donne le sourire pour la journée ! Les singes , iguanes et autres animaux sauvages sont dans le jardin ! Les enfants(3,7 et 10 ans ) n’ étaient pas rassurés le premier soir, mais ravis les jours suivants ! La maison est très agréables : ventilateurs, moustiquaires , cuisine bien équipé, literie impeccable et superbe piscine dans le jardin avec hammac et chaise longue . Super communication avec lorie et Jason qui s occupe de l accueil. Jason a toujours répondu présent quand on lui a demandé des renseignements ou services . L accès à la maison n est pas aisé : 4*4 obligatoire . Le coin est top ( cascade, plages, excursion ) Le plus bel endroit au costarica dans lequel on est séjourné

Lori was a proactive and very responsive communicator with great ideas and recommendations. Extremely friendly. Her caretakers were friendly and respected our privacy but helped us check in and with questions if we had them. Their place was so beautiful with amazing ocean view and peaceful, very rural and private and just what we wanted. A place to be away from the hub bub of tourists. We cooked a lot in the kitchen and swam in the pool all day and night. The stars were breathtaking. Much wildlife and birds… and star fruit and coconuts we enjoyed from the property. I would love to return here again some day. My only feedback is to be prepared to go off the beaten path and understand the directions as well as you can. We had a little trouble finding the home due to a few factors and our misunderstanding of directions.

Hello Kim, I did receive your feedback on your check in. I am sorry you got so lost. We have given the same directions to every single guest and not one other person had trouble finding it. The directions give you two options, coming from Montezuma and coming from Delicious. I will update our directions to show that some of the road from Montezuma is now paved. If you look at our manual I sent it also have a picture of the street sign where you turn coming from Montezuma. I gave both a link to Waze and written directions incase the person doesn’t have a phone with service. I am glad you were able to love the house once you found it.

Lori was very kind and quick to respond to her messages. The house offers beautiful sea views and it is close to downtown Montezuma which is very convenient. The only downside is that as soon as the sun rises, it is very hot in the house, as there is no air conditioning, but during the night with the fans, we were fine. Also, the roads to get to the house are very "bumpy", but with a 4-wheel drive car, the road is well done. In addition, it is also necessary to take into consideration that there are plenty of ants and lizards, but the nets around the beds protect us well and we get used to it quickly, they are not mean. In short, the place was very quiet and clean and Lori was attentive and understanding throughout our stay.

Lori était très gentille et répondait rapidement à ses messages. La maison offre une très belle vue sur la mer et elle est proche du centre ville de Montezuma ce qui est très pratique. Les seuls inconvénient sont que dès que le soleil se lève, il fait très chaud dans la maison, car il n'y a pas d'air climatisé, mais durant la nuit avec les fans, nous étions bien. Aussi, les routes pour se rendre jusqu'à la maison sont très "bumpy", mais avec une voiture 4 roues motrices, la route se fait bien. De plus, il faut aussi prendre en considération qu'il y a beaucoup de fourmis et de lézards, mais les filets autour des lits nous protègent bien et on s'habitue vite, ils ne sont méchants. Bref, l'endroit était très calme et propre et Lori a été à l'écoute et compréhensive tout au long de notre séjour.

This home has a beautiful ocean view and a comfortable home with a great pool. It is 5-10 minute drive from several beaches and the town of Montezuma.

This place was perfect for our family of 5. The house is simple and very convenient, great outdoor area, and the kids loved the pool. We had everything we needed. Very quite and good location. The couple who manage the house live nearby and are very nice and helpful. Do note that the roads in this part of CR are sometimes rough and a 4WD is definitely recommended. Also, WiFi can be very slow, again a common issue around Montezuma.

Excellent place, and attention! In my opinion, it lacks a bit of maintenance on the house and pool, like fixing broken sidewalks and overall paint from the house but it's minimal.

Excelente lugar, y atención! En mi opinión le falta un poco de mantenimiento a la casa y la piscina, como arreglar aceras quebradas y pintura en general de la casa pero es algo mínimo.

Lori is awesome, she was always on top, and help us a lot, the place is beautiful, we loved it, and everything was awesome, we definitely come back.

Thanks a lot Lori for this wonderful stay. It's a beautiful house with a pool overlooking the jungle and ocean. The beds were comfortable and the house is spacious and as advertised on the pictures. Lori was lovely and helped us when we needed anything. Thanks again!

Nice place to stay. I really felt peace & enjoyed my time being at the house. Just as described, I want to go back.

Thanks, we’re so glad that you enjoyed it. Please come back, the pool is waiting for you
