Casa Tranquilidad was absolutely amazing. The private chefs (Renzo and Roberto) were excellent and incredibly helpful. Everything we booked through Susan was on time, incredibly fun, and she answered all of our questions within minutes. It was everything I dreamed of for my birthday trip!

We had a wonderful stay. The house is exactly as pictured and described. We were lucky enough to see monkeys and lizards. We took advantage of the amenities and had the best time. Perfect for a large family. Thanks so much

Fantastic and Great. Beautiful setting. Monkeys and toucans and other birds in the backyard in the mornings. Kitchen was superbly equipped. Great bathrooms for each bedroom. Pool was great. We wished that the spa was heated and the common spaces were air conditioned. The bedrooms were great for a cool retreat. The common spaces were hot and humid with loud noisy fans trying to cool the space. The road to get to the house is obstacle strewn and steep not unlike a lot of other roads in the area. Housekeeping was the best and is included but know that there is an expectation of a tip. Concierge services are available also with tip expectations.

Scott has created an amazing home! We celebrated both my boyfriend's and my 60th birthdays here with 13 family members and friends, ages 14–60, and it was perfect. The house was spacious, beautiful, and everyone had a fantastic time. We loved spending evenings in the pool and mornings watching monkeys and birds while enjoying coffee on the porch. Susan, the concierge, was incredible. She arranged our surfing, ziplining, tubing, and national park tours and responded immediately to every question. The chef prepared three amazing breakfasts and three delicious dinners, making our family time even more special. Our housekeeper kept the home spotless and even did our laundry! Every detail exceeded our expectations. Scott and his entire team made this a vacation we'll never forget. If you're looking for the perfect place to stay in Costa Rica, this is it. We can't wait to come back!

Scott’s place was absolutely stunning! The concierge was super helpful in setting up transportation and any services we might need. Andrea was a true gem during the entirety of our stay! We were a large group and the place had more than enough room for all us. This was a first time in Costa Rica and everything was definitely memorable, would definitely recommend staying at Scott’s place!!

We just returned from a trip to Scott’s beautiful home in the jungle. We were celebrating our 20th anniversary and had 12 guests in total, with a few little ones in the mix. The house and the incredible services from Susan, Andrea and Chef Roberto were impressive beyond expectation. The whole family was wow-ed. The area is rich with things to do—it’s worth it to get a rental car and though the drive is a little tricky the first time you do it, it is actually quite easy. Our family played in the pool after adventuring every day. It was perfect. Meals with Chef Roberto were such a lovely way to cap a day—and if you are traveling with a large party and want to eat together, don’t hesitate. The meals were delicious and the setting on the patio can’t be beat. Andrea kept the house spotless— a real feat with 12 people and so many kids. I highly recommend Scott’s home.

Absolutely incredible. The house was a jungle palace with birds and monkeys coming by every day. Susan was so helpful and made us feel like royalty. Do yourself a favor and get the chef services…they were the highlight
