Pequeño Paraiso: Cozy Casita Steps from the Beach - Guesthouses for Rent in Cahuita, Limón Province, Costa Rica

The place was great!!! Especially the open walls (protected with mesh facing outward) and thus this proximity to nature, including the soundscape. Less than a 4-minute walk to the ocean. With a coffee cup in hand, a highlight every day. A dream. Cahuita is tranquil, sleepy, and lovable. Authentic Caribbean cuisine. National park with a beautiful beach for swimming.

Die Unterkunft war spitze!!! Besonders die offenen Wände (mit Gaze nach außen geschützt) und dadurch diese Nähe samt Geräuschkulisse zur Natur. Fußläufig keine 4 Minuten zum Meer. Mit Kaffeetasse in der Hand, jeden Tag aufs Neue ein Highlight. Ein Traum. Cahuita beschaulich, verschlafen, liebenswert. Authentische caribische Küche. Nationalpark mit wunderschönem Strand zum Baden.

Hello Cornelia. Thank you so much for the lovely review. We are so very happy that you enjoyed Cahuita, and your stay with us. We hope to see you again soon.

FABULOUS! This is the PERFECT place to be. The home is tucked away on the property offering everything you need plus privacy. Our favorite spot was the covered front porch. The best spot for early morning coffee, and before bed chilling. We listening to Howling monkeys, birds, rain and all of nature. Jimmy and Annette have thought of everything, everything you need in the kitchen, bathroom and bedroom. The visitors guide they have on their website, with recommendations of sites and restaurants is perfect for visitors. The Reggae Bar was a favorite restaurant and the Bri Bri waterfalls was our favorite hike. The location of Cahuita is so convenient, keeps you away from the overly touristy chaos, yet just a few minutes drive to everything. We would and will recommend this place to everyone. Dont hesitate to make this your vacation spot. Thank you to Jimmy and Annette for the incredible hospitality, this was just what we wanted and we enjoyed every minute if it. Pura Vida, ❤️

Hola Karen and David. Thank you for your review, and your kind words. It was terrific meeting you guys, and we are so pleased that you enjoyed your stay with us. Please consider us again if you make your way back to this part of the world - we will be sure to keep that front porch light on for you. Pura Vida.

We loved our stay en El Pequeño Paraíso. A beautiful, peaceful, and relaxing place! The host was very welcoming and friendly, and the accommodation was spotless!

Hola Melody. We’re pleased you selected us as part of your holiday in Costa Rica, and are so glad you enjoyed your stay. We enjoyed meeting you, and look forward to seeing you again. Pura Vida.

We absolutely LOVED the little casita! The beauty and elegance of its simple design offers warmth and functionality. Close to shops and the beach, but you’re tucked away amid gorgeous, lush greenery so privacy is never an issue. Quiet, peaceful yet local nightlife is yours should you choose to venture out. Everyone has been warm and welcoming. Muchas gracias, Jimmy, Annette, Shevonne and Rise Caribe Team! We so appreciate you all. Pura Vida!

We had a 3 night stay at Jimmy's place and thoroughly enjoyed our time. The unit is managed by Caribe management and they are very proactive and responsive.  They met us on site for a tour to ensure we knew where everything was.  Jimmy was also on site and quite helpful.  We certainly felt well cared for.  The home is extremely private.  We were welcomed by Brillo, a beautiful and very friendly poodle.  The grounds are beautifully landscaped.  We woke up to the sounds of birds singing and the howler monkeys howling.  Amazing!!  The home has everything you need and close enough to Cahuita to get anything else you would like and a short walk to the beach.  This was our 5th time to Costa Rica but our first time to the Carribean side.  I am so glad we made the decision to visit.  We will be back.

Heather and Hans: It was so nice to have met you, and thank you for staying with us. We’re happy that you enjoyed your stay in our little slice of heaven. I hope our paths cross again someday. Pura Vida.

Without hesitation this sweet sanctuary nestled within lush greenery has been one of my favorites stays!!!   Bird lovers, no need to leave the hammock!  Counted 24 species joining the morning cacophony!   Morning and late afternoon beach strolls where I may have seen 2-3 others.    Brio the resident Standard  Poodle  worked his way into my heart within minutes.   Had some wonderful conversations with Jimmy the host,  welcoming, informative and respectful.     Hesitant to leave,  in my hopes to return.

Hey Marina. Thanks so much for the kind review, and glad you loved the place as much as we do. I enjoyed our conversations as well, and appreciate the book recommendations. Brillo is missing his morning and evening tummy scratches. We will leave the light on for you. Pura Vida.

We really enjoyed staying at Jimmy's place. The place was really gorgeous. There was a lot to discover on his property. Thanks to the open-plan design (screen doors instead of windows), you had a completely different connection to nature. Jimmy is a very good host and could be reached at any time of the day. We gladly accepted his recommendations for the area and, as a result, explored Cahuita quite extensively. Thank you very much and Pura Vida 🇨🇷

Wir haben den Aufenthalt bei Jimmy sehr genossen. Die Unterkunft war wirklich traumhaft schön. Es gab auf seinem Grundstück viel zu entdecken. Durch das offene Design (Fliegengitter statt Fenster) hatte man eine ganz andere Verbindung zur Natur. Jimmy ist ein sehr guter Gastgeber und war zu jeder Tageszeit erreichbar. Seine Empfehlungen für die Umgebung haben wir gerne angenommen und dadurch auch sehr viel in Cahuita erkundet. Vielen Dank und Pura Vida 🇨🇷

Hola Til. It was so nice to meet Gina and you. I am glad that you enjoyed yourselves, and found my suggestions helpful. Please come back and visit again. Pura Vida.

This is our second time staying At Pequeño Paráiso and we love it. It’s always hard to leave. The bungalow is perfect, with all the amenities we could ever want, including a blender! We also appreciated having a compost bin and the coffee and sugar available to guests. Having the option to rent bikes is handy too which made it easy to bike to town without having to drive. It’s a short distance into town on a dirt road and feels very safe. This place is a gem.

Nice little cabin on a property with two other rental units.  Short walk to the beach.  The host was easy to communicate with.  We'd stay again!

Hey Cory. Thanks for the kind words. We’d love to have you back, and next time, meet you in person. Take care of yourself. Pura Vida.

We had a great 7 night stay at Pequeno Paraiso and we highly recommend it to anyone considering the Cahuita area. The casita is exactly as pictured. The kitchen is well provisioned for meal prep. The purified water was a total bonus! The shower is fabulous with loads of hot water. We loved the open air concept with all the screens - it kept us very connected to the sights and sounds of the nature all around. The location is amazing. It is a two minute walk to Playa Grande, but you also have the option to walk or drive the road along the coast into town, passing beaches and restaurants on the way. There are many activities within a short drive - whether you want to lounge on a different beach everyday, head to one of the many national parks, or explore Puerto Viejo. Jimmy was an amazing host, quickly responsive and helpful for even mundane questions. We would definitely return here in the future.

Linda and Lee - Thank you so much for the kind words. It was very nice to have met you both, and we are so glad you enjoyed your stay with us. See you on the flip side. Pura Vida.

Jimmy and Nettie were amazing hosts. We loved our stay at their airbnb very much - the property is beautiful and the house we stayed in was perfect for our trip to Costa Rica. The house is clean, with excellent amenities and WiFi - we were able to work from there the first week with no problems. The beach is a 2 minute walk away through the beautiful landscapes of Limon. The nearest town is Cahuita which features lots of great restaurants and a national park with amazing beaches. Our highlight was having coffee in the morning on the front porch and listening to the sounds of the forest (and even seeing a family of monkeys!). Highly recommended for couples or solo travelers who want to experience beautiful nature and authenticity. We definitely plan to come back soon!

Janina - Thank you for the kind words, as they mean a lot to us. We’re so glad y’all had a good time. Next time, let’s see if we can get Colin to Jam Night at Reggae Bar. Take care of yourselves. Pura Vida.

Very cute and clean! Jimmy was incredibly helpful and flexible.

We had a wonderful stay!!  Lots of things to do nearby, even went zip lining for the first!! The monkeys were super cool to experience!!

We had a dream stay. The apartment is nicely decorated and everything was clean. The beach is within walking distance, as well as some restaurants. We enjoyed the quiet location to the city center. Communication is straightforward and fast through an extra company (example for laundry). The two hosts are super great people. We were greeted personally and were able to approach them with all questions. This personal atmosphere sets it apart. Your dog Brillo greeted us almost every morning and he is well behaved. We can 100% recommend this home. PS: They also have a second (new) house on the property, which looks just as nice. Only the reviews on Airbnb were missing so far 😉

Wir hatten einen traumhaften Aufenthalt. Die Wohnung ist toll eingerichtet und alles war sauber. Der Strand ist fussläufig erreichbar, sowie auch einige Restaurants. Die ruhige Lage zum Stadtzentrum haben wir genossen. Die Kommunikation läuft unkompliziert und schnell durch eine extra Firma (Beispiel für Wäsche waschen). Die beiden Gastgeber sind super tolle Menschen. Wir wurden persönlich begrüßt und konnten mit allen Fragen auf sie zukommen. Diese persönliche Atmosphäre zeichnet es aus. Ihr Hund Brillo hat uns fast jeden Morgen begrüßt und er ist gut erzogen. Wir können diese Unterkunft zu 100 % weiterempfehlen. PS: sie haben auch noch eine zweites (neues) Haus auf dem Anwesen, was genauso schön aussieht. Nur fehlten bisher die Bewertungen bei airbnb 😉

We enjoyed hosting your family and you, and are glad you found Pequeno Paraiso to your liking. Take care of yourselves, and visit us again. Pura Vida.

Beautiful accommodation with a very cool ambience – you really feel in the middle of nature! The beach is very close, quiet and fantastically beautiful. There are also many great activities in Cahuita and the surrounding villages. Highly recommended!

Wunderschöne Unterkunft mit sehr coolem Ambiente – man fühlt sich wirklich mitten in der Natur! Der Strand ist ganz in der Nähe, ruhig und traumhaft schön. Auch in Cahuita und den umliegenden Dörfern gibt es viele tolle Aktivitäten. Sehr empfehlenswert!

Yan and Alex: Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. It was nice meeting you, and we’re very glad you enjoyed your stay. Safe travels to you, and please come back and visit again. Pura Vida.

Very nice and clean Airbnb. Only a 2-minute walk to a quiet, beautiful black sand beach. Highly recommend!

Hello Matteo. Thank you for your 5 star review of Pequeno Paraiso. We’re very happy are very glad  you enjoyed your stay with us. Pura Vida.

Area: very beautiful, near Cahuita. House: beautiful, lots of nature nearby, comfortable, well-equipped. Most of the walls are made of mosquito nets, which is wonderful: I loved the contact with nature that this provides. Host: Jimmy, the owner, came to introduce himself, very kind. The people at RISE, the real estate company that manages Pequeño Paraíso, were friendly and always helped whenever I needed something. Great experience!

Zona: muy bella, cerca de Cahuita. Casa: hermosa, mucha naturaleza cerca, cómoda, bien equipada. La mayor parte de las paredes son de red anti mosquitos, lo cual es maravilloso: amé el contacto con la naturaleza que esto brinda. Anfitrión: Jimmy, el dueño, vino a presentarse, muy amable. La gente de RISE, la inmobiliaria que gerencia Pequeño Paraíso, fue amable y ayudó siempre que necesité algo. Gran experiencia!

We had a lovely stay. Beautiful house with everything you need, so close to the beach and private, the guidebook gave us some great recommendations for activities and restaurants which we all loved. The team of RISE are also very friendly, easy reachable and proactive, 5 star service!

We loved this place! Gorgeous landscaping and surroundings. The house itself was clean and comfortable. Definitely recommend staying here if you are looking for a peaceful and relaxing environment. Jimmy and Annette are wonderful and friendly hosts.

Jimmy and Annette were amazing hosts! We had the opportunity to chat with them for a bit and it was a pleasure sharing travel experiences. They also have the cutest pup, Brillo, who loves treats and pets. Their place was beautiful, cozy, well-designed, and felt private and secure. Everything was clean and it was a close walk to the beach which was perfect to catch sunrise. The front porch, complete with hammock, was ideal for morning coffee and to take in the jungle. We saw agouti and heard howler monkeys daily. Would 100% stay here again. Highly recommended. A+

Hey Tara. Hey Jay. It was so very nice to meet y'all and to chat you up about travel, work and life. We thoroughly enjoyed our conversations. We hope you enjoy your further travels in Talamanca, and consider coming back to visit us again. It really was a pleasure to have you as our guests. Pura Vida!

The place matched the pictures and description. Communication was great, always received a quick response. There were also suggestions for activities. The hosts were also super friendly and helpful. Glad to come back!

Die Unterkunft entsprach den Bildern und der Beschreibung. Die Kommunikation war super, immer eine schnelle Antwort erhalten. Es gab auch Vorschläge für Aktivitäten. Auch die Gastgeber waren super freundlich und hilfsbereit. Gerne wieder!

Excellent place, I would definitely come back. The place is beautiful, full of nature, the beach is 100m away at most, and Jimmy was very kind to us.

The little house was wonderful! Everything was clean and neat. It’s just a short walk to a beautiful, peaceful beach. The property management concierge at check in was really helpful. The openness of the house allowed us to hear monkeys and birds. The host’s recommendations for restaurants were all delicious. We wish we had more days to stay!

Cool place to stay in Cahuita. Many animals encountered on the property. You feel like you're in the jungle. Drinking water available, which is very nice. Had a little noise on the neighboring property (gardening). The dishes were not clean either. The management company was not always helpful. Contact with the owner on the property was much more pleasant and uncomplicated.

Coole Unterkunft in Cahuita. Viele Tiere auf dem Anwesen angetroffen. Man fühlt sich wie im Dschungel. Trinkwasser verfügbar, was sehr toll ist. Hatten ein wenig Lärm auf dem Nachbargrundstück (Gartenarbeiten). Das Geschirr war auch nicht sauber. Die Managementfirma war nicht immer hilfreich. Kontakt mit Eigentümerin auf dem Anwesen war viel angenehmer und unkomplizierter.

We had a great stay at Pequeno Paradisio. The house is so authentic and beautiful. We really enjoyed the patio outside. A great plus was the water filter in the kitchen, awesome to have free drinkable water. We had some bad luck with the neighbors doing really loud gardening works, but that was just a sad coincidence, i can imagine it’s not always like this. We spotted a large troupe of howler monkeys in the trees behind the house. The beach nearby is very beautiful and quiet. I can recommend this beautiful little paradise!

We felt very comfortable and welcome at Jimmy's! It was a relaxed environment, we would definitely come back! Thanks very much.

Wir haben uns bei Jimmy sehr wohl und willkommen geheißen gefühlt! Es war eine entspannte Umgebung, wir würden auf jeden Fall wiederkommen! Vielen lieben Dank!

We had a wonderful stay at this fantastic house. Everything we needed was there. We felt very comfortable and you were in the middle of nature. The hosts were very nice and we even got freshly baked bread. We would come back back. Thanks very much, both of you. Sabine & Thomas

Wir hatten einen wunderschönen Aufenthalt in diesem traumhaften Haus. Es war alles da was wir brauchten. Wir fühlten uns sehr wohl und man war mitten in der Natur. Die Gastgeber waren sehr nett und wir haben sogar ein frisch gebackenes Brot bekommen. Wir würden jederzeit wiederkommen. Vielen lieben Dank ihr beiden. Sabine & Thomas

What a wonderful place to stay. We absolutely loved staying At Pequeño Paraíso. We felt like we were living in the lap of luxury. The screened walls offered a lovely feeling of being surrounded by nature but also felt very private. It felt like a private spa, the body wash smelled heavenly, and the rain shower head was a real pleasure. Waking to howler monkeys and birds was special and we loved it. The full size kitchen, the comfy bed, the TV,  hammock outside…I could go on. It was just lovely. We hope  to return again.

Jimmy’s place was a perfect getaway in Cahuita. It’s about a 10 min drive to the main part of town with restaurants, stores, and the national park. There is also a beach only a few minutes walk from the house. In addition, Puerto Viejo is about 30 mins south which is more of a fast paced town with many shops and restaurants, and only a few minutes past the town was a great beach with also different restaurants. The house was so cute with everything you need, including all the kitchen essentials. In addition you have the hammock and chairs on the deck. The bedroom was real comfortable and peaceful as you heard all of the juggle noises while you slept. Highly recommend!

It’s a great place . No surprise, everything Jimmy describes is accurate. The beach is  less than 5 minutes walking . It is better to have a car because the village of Cahuita is a bit too far to walk . The house is amazing. The nature is around and of course you can hear the birds and the monkeys early in the morning. The bed was the super comfortable. We really enjoyed relaxing at night. It was really clean . Perfect for two persons.

Everything was perfect, Jimmy's place is fully equipped, it has everything we needed. The place is very quiet and a 2-minute walk to the beach. Perfect for unwinding.

Tout était parfait, le logement de Jimmy est tout équipé il a tout ce dont nous avions besoin. Le lieu est très calme et à 2min à pied de la plage. Parfait pour se ressourcer.

This was a wonderful place to experience the lush surroundings of eastern Costa Rica. Jimmy and Annette were very kind and we loved hanging out with their dog, Brillo! It is a bit of a trip into town (as shown in the listing) but was easy enough to navigate with bikes.

Great place surrounded by nature. Highly recommend!

My sister and I , absolutely love Jimmy’s place. We needed to relax and this was for sure the perfect place for that. Annete treat us to a delicious loaf of bread the next morning. We would love to comeback again, and highly recommend this little Paradise to anyone . Listening to the beautiful nature sounds helped me to relax my mind and body . Thanks so much for hosting us Jimmy and Annete . Idis and Gladys From Canada

We had a wonderful 7 night stay at Casa Pequeño. Beautiful property close to the beach. Very private. The furniture and bed were very comfortable. The showers indoor and outdoors were great.  Fully equipped kitchen with a top quality water filtration system was a huge plus. Would love to stay there again.

We had a great stay! Hosts were very friendly gave great recommendations on things to do and where to eat which was very helpful. The house was comfortable and stayed cool at night. It was fun to hear the monkeys and other wildlife at night and in the morning. The nearest beach was walkable distance and very private. Short drive to town and national park. Would highly recommend staying here, we would definitely stay again!

We enjoyed our stay very much. The place and location was beautiful, well kept and quiet. While the owners are on property,  you do feel like you have your own space. We slept like babies! I can say 100 great things about this property.

Located on Jimmys and Annette's property, yet you have absolute privacy and live very close to nature. It is perfectly equipped. The beach is right around the corner and Cahuita is very fast by car, and walking, after a nice beach walk. There is a lot to do in the area, restaurants are within walking distance. Communication with both was very pleasant and helpful. They own a dog that is well behaved and it was a pleasure to meet him despite my dog anxiety. We recommend this place to anyone who wants to spend time in Cahuita and wish Jimmy and Annette all the best.

Die Unterkunft liegt auf Jimmys und Annettes Grundstück, trotzdem hat man absolute Privatssphäre und wohnt sehr naturnah. Sie ist perfekt ausgestattet. Der Strand ist gleich um die Ecke und Cahuita ist mit dem Auto sehr schnell, und zu Fuß, nach einem netten Strandspaziergang zu erreichen. In der Gegend kann man viel unternehmen, Restaurants sind gut zu Fuß zu erreichen. Die Kommunikation mit beiden war sehr angenehm und hilfreich. Sie besitzen einen Hund der gut erzogen ist und es war, trotz meiner Hundeangst, eine Freude auf ihn zu treffen. Wir empfehlen diese Unterkunft jedem der Zeit in Cahuita verbringen möchte und wünschen Jimmy und Annette alles Gute.

One of the best places we visited. The owners are very kind people, greeted us with a fresh bread and was really helpful in a case we needed something. The place is really stunning, located near the beautiful surrounding forest and its awesome how you can feel the nature. It has screens instead of windows and its just so nice. Beach is also near and in the time we visited it was mostly empty so that was also really nice. Would be happy to visit this place again.

We spent two weeks staying at Pequeno Paraiso, and everything was wonderful! Annette showed us her garden, where different trees and flowers grow. She was very welcoming and treated us to bread and chocolate! Her dog, Brillo, is well-behaved and playful 😄 And we really enjoyed his company. Instead of glass windows, the house has screens, which is a big plus for me since I love sleeping in the fresh air. There’s a nice balance of nature and comfort. Nearby, there’s a large, empty, and beautiful beach. I highly recommend it!

Great stay in Cahuita. the place is very quiet surrounded by nature on the grounds of Jimmy and Annette. Very good amenities and appealing design. Within 5 minutes' walk you are on the beach. Jimmy and Annette are very great hosts, other services such as laundry cleaning can be purchased through the collaborating real estate company. We would come back anytime.

Großartiger Aufenthalt in Cahuita. die Unterkunft liegt sehr ruhig umgeben von Natur auf dem Grundstück von Jimmy und Annette. Sehr gute Ausstattung und ansprechendes Design. Innerhalb von 5 Minuten zu Fuß ist man am Strand. Jimmy und Annette sind sehr tolle Gastgeber, weitere Services wie z.b Wäschereinigung können über das zusammenarbeitende Immobilienunternehmen bezogen werden. Wir würden jederzeit wieder kommen.

Jimmy and Annette were awesome - they came over on the first day and brought us a delicious fresh baked loaf of bread from a neighbor down the street. They were responsive and helpful anytime we reached out. There is a gorgeous black sand beach a 3 minute walk away - just be aware this particular beach might not be suitable for children to swim at as the waves were quite large. Overall, our stay was incredible and had us discussing one day buying property of our own in Cahuita.

We absolutely loved our time in the casita! Jimmy and Rise were very helpful with local recommendations and very responsive. The location was peaceful and very beautiful. I would highly recommend staying here if you are visiting Cahuita. Thank you again!

Lovely cottage, beautifully decorated. Don’t be put off by the fact that the property is at the owner’s backyard, it’s very private and is surrounded by trees and plants. We would definitely stay there again!

Absolutely amazing vibe. The house is super cute and just the right size for me and my fiance. Lots of space to store your things. Loved falling asleep to the sound of the ocean and bugs/birds/animals every night, with occasional rains. This is definitely the place to stay if you’re looking to be immersed in Costa Rican culture, but tucked away enough from the crowds of Puerto Viejo. Also just a few minute walk to the beach! The hosts are super communicative and sweet people with a lovely property. The town and people of Cahuita is amazing as well, with restaurants and Sodas within walking distance of the house. 100% recommend for anyone looking to connect with nature while in the comfort of your own little bungalow. Pura Vida!

I truly enjoyed my stay overall in Cahuita and the peacefulness of this airbnb. The birds and howler monkeys were great to wake up to. I even saw a sloth outside the gate one night! If you are renting a car this airbnb is located in a great area because it is a lil secluded, a 10 min drive into town and a 30 min drive to Puerto Viejo. Here’s a few things to note: - the beach is not steps away and you’re likely not going there after sunset. The path out of the airbnb isn’t well lit and where you shower outside has no porch lights at all. So unless you want to bump into the many spiderwebs back there just … don’t lol. If you do not have a car: renting a bike from Jimmy is an option (the bike isnt the most comfortable to be honest it really hurt) I opted to travel by taxi and tuktuk which Jimmy had the best recommendations for. Do not go to reggae bar (everyone will suggest this place) if you’re actually Caribbean like me, this place is for tourists and not really a local spot.

Tenelle. Thank you very much for your comments about Pequeno Paraiso. We're glad you like its seclusion, and it certainly would have been easier for you to get around had you had had with you a physical drivers license so you could have rented a car as you planned. The outdoor shower is usually used after guest daytime trips to the beach, but I did add a motion activated solar light for future night-time users. Nothing much we can do about spiders back there - this is a rain forest and we try to minimize pesticide use for environmental and water quality reasons. I inspected the bike seat and there's nothing seemingly wrong with it. I wish you had said something when I asked you how the biking around town went. Finally, I do want to address your comment about the listing title. Every morning, I walk to the beach with the dog in 3 to 4 minutes at a normal pace. I'm sorry you got lost on your way to the beach and may have overlooked the photos of the beach access that are part of the listing. We'd love the opportunity to earn a five star rating from you Tenelle, so come back down. Pura Vida.

I recently had the pleasure of staying at Pequeño Paraiso and had a wonderful  experience. From the moment my partner and I arrived, we were struck by the warm ambiance of the space. It felt like a home away from home. The location was perfect, easy access to Cahuita attractions and great food. We loved the amenities, the lighting throughout the space, and how clean it was. One of the most memorable aspects of our stay was the sound of the rain at night. It really added to the overall charm of the place. We also really appreciated the host stopping by to meet us and give us some local insider information and homemade bread made by a neighbor. I highly recommend this Airbnb to anyone looking for a cozy retreat in Cahuita!

A beautiful house, great designed and very comfortable. Four of us felt very comfortable. The beach within walking distance is really beautiful and hardly visited. Also, thank you for the nice conversations and the tips about the area.

Ein wunderschönes Haus, toll gestaltet und sehr bequem. Wir haben uns zu viert sehr wohl gefühlt. Der fussläufig erreichbare Strand ist richtig schön und kaum besucht. Danke auch für die netten Gespräche und die Tipps zur Umgebung.

Great place. James is a great conversationalist. Definitely keep him in the loop with your activities and he will guide you properly. Beautiful home and luscious garden. James treated us to some local bread and homegrown bananas.

The surroundings were beautiful! James was super considerate of our privacy and gave us great recommendations. We ran on the beach everyday which was moments away. Bikes made everything pretty much accessible. The space is tastefully and thoughtfully designed. I took delicious naps in the hammock. It's the first time we've wanted to return to the same vacation destination and airbnb! Hillel and Vickie

This is a very nice natural retreat. All the furniture, appliances and facilities are top quality and every detail has been carefully crafted so it feels luxurious. The beach is across the street from the house and it’s calm and more private than the other beaches. The house has total air flow as the walls are mosquito nets, the temperature is tropical warm but the fans are great to keep it fresh and comfortable. Casa Paraíso is located behind the property’s main house but it has a natural privacy fence and a lot of beautiful vegetation surrounding it. The owner of the house came to meet us on arrival, we had a fun chat and went out for a drink and he also gifted us warm bread for our stay. Overall very high value and a lot of fun!

We loved staying at James' casita, which is literally 3mins walk from the water. It's at the quiet end of town which we enjoyed, but it's also still easy to get to everything you need. We didn't realise initially, but the 'windows' and in fact very well installed bug screens which allow for a lovely cool breeze and the sounds of the forest to surround you. The hosts were friendly and responsive but also allowed for privacy. There was a gardening crew present one day who were great, but it would be good to plan to be off the property that day as it can be loud. Definitely would recommend!

This place was amazing! Location for sure with this stay. Kitchen has everything to make food, and hosts were awesome with recommendations and help. Great way to ring in my 30th, would stay here again!

Very nice and spacious stay! Anything you need is present. Filtered drinking water and basic supplies for cooking (such as herbs and oil) are provided. Quiet location with the sounds of the sea in the background. Recommended!

Heel mooi en ruim verblijf! Alles wat je nodig hebt is aanwezig. Gefilterd drinkwater en basis benodigdheden voor het koken (zoals kruiden en olie) zijn aanwezig. Rustige locatie met de geluiden van de zee op de achtergrond. Een aanrader!

We had a great time here. The house is very pretty and equipped with all things necessary. You can go to the beach by foot in just a few minutes and the hosts are very friendly and accommodating.

The place was amazing me and my husband loved it! Surrounded by the rainforest in the garden we spotted hummingbirds, many other birds, butterflies and we woke up to monkeys and jungle noises every morning. Recommended to rent a bike or moped to get easily into town. (Find Flo at the hostel next to Aroma!) Cahuita is a lovely place where it is easy to book jungle tour, snorkeling, cocoa plantation tour and many more. Beautiful beaches all around and close to the Bungalow by foot. Walking distance are nice beach bars. Overall fun experience and a beautiful accommodation.

Our stay in the casita was beautiful! It was indeed hard to find but that is due to the GPS not being able to locate many things in this area. Someone came to meet us and showed us the way. The place is exactly like the pictures but even better. So much attention to detail was given to use every corner for storage which was really cool.  We considered this 5 star camping because you are able to hear the jungle since the walls are mosquito nets. It was very hot when we went but the overhead fans do the trick. If you like nature, peace and quiet yet being close to everything then this place is for you. We even saw a sloth on the way out!! Highly recommend!

Beautiful, secluded and spacious property! Hosts greeted us personally with homemade bread and instructions. Fresh filtered water is available for use daily. Rooms are well aerated with multiple fans and screens do a decent job protecting against the bugs. Do be mindful that this is Costa Rica and critters are bound to drop by and say hello. Our stay truly made us feel like we were in a home away from home. James was incredibly friendly and offered plenty of local recommendations. The town is only a short bike ride away - although, we highly recommend a motorbike or ATV to get around the bumpy roads and illuminate the roads in the evening. The wildlife is abundant and the beach is really right at your doorstep. We really had such an amazing time and can't thank you both enough for hosting us! Until next time :).

Very happy stay in Cahuita! The house is very beautiful and the magical environment between jungle and beach. I highly recommend it!

Très bon séjour à Cahuita ! La maison est très belle et l'environnement magique entre jungle et plage. Je recommande vivement !

We were very pleased with the lovely Casita. The setting is exceptional, particularly with respect to the way in which the landscaping provides a sense of privacy while feeling so natural. The structure itself is new and modern in feel. Mostly screened so that the lovely Caribbean air passes through, day and night, yet completely safe as the structure includes a sturdy wire grid, providing absolute security. The kitchen works well for those who like to do most of their own meal prep. The bed and bath are perfect, queen bed with optimum comfort. The neighborhood itself is very pleasant. We had the chance to speak with several folks who live nearby. Very friendly indeed! A most amazing stretch of quiet beach is a very short stroll away, beautiful beyond belief. Jimmy and Annette are great hosts! Friendly, warm, responsive, a pleasure to speak with. Everything about our visit here was exceptional.

Many nice aspects but ceiling fan in bedroom didn’t work and the sliding bathroom door to kitchen jammed every time. Dishes in the kitchen were not clean and the gas stovetop was a bit tricky to use. We ran out of hot water one night and could have remedied this had we known to check the breakers. Good aspects were a good fridge on the kitchen, a nice bed, open and airy spaces, excellent wifi, a nice TV, and good fans in the living area. The front deck was a pleasant and private place to sit with an overhead fan, and in the bathroom there was a very good fan and shower head. Overall our sense was the space just needs a bit more TLC. And though we never interacted with the owner, we found the people at the management company to be wonderfully responsive.

Long confusing gravel road in, and very hard to find! But once found it’s  a beautiful place!!

We really enjoyed our stay at Pequeno Paraiso. The house is brand new, everything nicely built and decorated and we had the best shower in Costa Rica so far. A nice black sand beach is just next door and in town you'll finde nice restaurants to eat. James also gave us some nice recommendations and was a perfect host. Thank you, we would be back again!

We’re to begin? This place is fantastic! The cabin: Few hosts put as much effort into building a structure intended for short-term tenants. James and Annette used top notch carpenters for the cabinetry, furniture, and other features. It’s both comfortable and quite lovely, and is set at the back of their large property and is surrounded by gardens. Location: the cabin is across the road from a beautiful black sand beach that felt like our private beach since it’s a low-density area. But it’s also a mere five minute drive from Cahuita for dining and other entertainment. The hosts: the hosts were accommodating, had lots of great recommendations, and checked in with just the right frequency to make sure we were happy. We’ve stayed at dozens of Airbnbs, but this is truly one of the best. We’ll surely be back.

Nice house in a very quiet environment. It was very clean and had everything you need for your stay. It doesn't have crystals, but it does make it possible to hear the environment without getting bugs in. It is advisable to have a motorcycle or bike to get to Cahuita.

Bonita casa en un entorno muy tranquilo. Estaba muy limpia y disponía de todo lo necesario para la estancia. No tiene cristales pero sí mosquiteras que permiten escuchar el entorno sin que entren insectos. Recomendable disponer de moto o bici para llegar a Cahuita.

This was a beautiful place just outside of the main Cahuita area. If you're looking for a quiet place with a local beach to hang in (with a hammock!), this is for you! The space was very comfortable and clean with everything you need to have a relaxing time 🙂 The hosts were also responsive and helpful, a stay here is definitely recommended!

Smooth check-in to James’ cottage behind his main house. Beautiful stay and always responsive. Flexible check-out. Would recommend and stay again! Thank you!

The place is really beautiful and perfectly equipped. There was even a filter system for drinking water, so you didn't need to buy water. The entire property is equipped with fly screens, so you won't find any mosquitos etc. inside. You are surrounded by nature and can walk to the beach in a few minutes. We were perfectly looked after and the hosts were always available for questions and concerns. We were also able to rent bikes, which was very pleasant to go to the place. It is available in each room and also on the porch ceiling fans which are very pleasant and quiet. I would book it again anytime and can 100% recommend it.

Die Unterkunft ist wirklich wunderschön und perfekt ausgestattet. Es gab sogar eine Filteranlage für Trinkwasser, so dass man kein Wasser kaufen brauchte. Die komplette Unterkunft ist mit Fliegengittern ausgestattet, so dass man drinnen keine Mosquitos etc. findet. Man ist umgeben von der Natur und kann in wenigen Minuten zum Strand laufen. Wir wurden perfekt betreut und die Gastgeber standen für Fragen und Anliegen immer zur Verfügung. Wir konnten auch Räder leihen, dass war sehr angenehm um in den Ort zu fahren. Es gibt in jedem Zimmer und auch auf der Veranda Deckenventilatoren die sehr angenehm und leise sind. Ich würde die Unterkunft jederzeit wieder buchen und kann sie euch zu 100% weiterempfehlen.

Awesome place... we felt right at home. Go there if you want peace in a beautiful place.

This place was above and beyond what we even expected. Full kitchen, water filtration system, very private, and a literal 5 minute walk from the beach. You can constantly hear the birds and monkeys outside. Coolest experience ever.

The property is as described and very beautiful. We heard howler monkeys in the mornings, and slept to sounds of the jungle. The house has all the necessary amenities but does not have air conditioning. In our experience the bedroom did get pretty warm in the evenings, however, the home does have ceiling fans. Some nights did have a breeze, but some others got very warm. I definitely recommend this property if you want tranquility and space away from town. The beach access was wonderful! Highly recommend!

It's a beautiful house! ✨Just like in the photos, a very quiet place surrounded by lots of nature. Very close to an almost private beach, 🌊we were able to go to see sunsets and sunrises🥹 It's quick to get to downtown from the house and had everything you need They were always attentive to us and gave us quick attention We loved it!🇲🇽

Es una casa hermosa! ✨Tal como en las fotos, un lugar muy tranquilo y rodeado de mucha naturaleza. muy cerca de una playa casi privada 🌊pudimos ir a ver atardeceres y amaneceres🥹 Es rápido llegar al centro desde la casa y tenia todo lo necesario Siempre estuvieron pendientes de nosotros y nos brindaron atención rápida Nos encantó!🇲🇽

One of the best experiences we have had, the perfect place to find peace, it has everything you need, it is literally being inside the jungle without problems from animals or insects. Recommended 100%

Super nice bungalow, very well equipped and only a 5-minute walk to the beach!

Super schöner Bungalow, sehr gut ausgestattet und nur 5 Min. zu Fuss zum Strand!

Exactly what I needed and wanted. The place was far enough from everything that I had solitude and peace. The tiny house was beautiful and clean. It had everything I needed in order to make meals and to be able to relax. The wifi was good enough for video / zoom meetings which I had a lot of as I was working from there the whole time. I loved waking up before sunrise and then making coffee, walking to the beach and drinking my coffee as I watch the sun rise. Every morning. You will need a car or a bike to get to downtown Cahuita but i had a rental car so it was not an issue. The area was very safe. The owners were very nice. And the property management was very responsive. Really appreciate Jefferson’s help too. Thank you for the wonderful stay we had.

The house is very luxuriously equipped. The special thing is that instead of windows and walls, it has fine-meshed sturdy grids through which you can see and hear everything: all the animal sounds, the sea. Insects don't come through. You are almost in the national park and in the morning you wake up the wonderful monkey roar. There are many birds, butterflies, the monkeys and sloths. The beach is lonely and beautiful, preferably go for a swim with coffee in the morning at 5 am☕️😀. But beware: only bathe at the front, the waves have an extreme force there and pull you out. The national park is close and we go every day. There are wonderful beaches there and lots of animals there. We will definitely return in any case. 🦥🌴🌸🐒🐬🇨🇷🐢

Das Haus ist sehr luxuriös ausgestattet. Das Besondere ist, dass es statt Fenster und Wände feinmaschige stabile Gitter hat, durch die man alles sehen und hören kann: die ganzen Tiergeräusche, das Meer. Insekten kommen nicht durch. Man ist quasi im Nationalpark ist und morgens weckt einen das wunderbare Affenbrüllen. Es gibt viele Vögel, Schmetterlinge, die Affen und Faultiere. Der Strand ist einsam und wunderschön, am besten gleich morgens um 5 Uhr baden gehen mit Kaffee ☕️😀. Aber aufpassen: dort nur ganz vorne baden, die Wellen haben eine extreme Kraft dort und ziehen einen nach draußen. Der Nationalpark ist nah dran und wir gehen jeden Tag hin. Dort sind wunderbare Strände und viele Tiere. Wir kommen auf jeden Fall wieder. 🦥🌴🌸🐒🐬🇨🇷🐢

The house has a full kitchen, dreamy shower head, and extremely comfortable bed. There's a lot of storage so you can really temporarily move-in and make it feel like your own. It's about a 3 minute walk from the empty, quiet beach. It was the perfect place to relax and be slow. I loved how the screen walls made you feel like you were still outside but without the bugs. About an hour walk to the main town, which we didn't mind, as the rocky road there has beautiful views of the forest the entire time and is scattered with bars and restaurants along the way. Shout-out to Jefferson from the management company who was very helpful during our stay. I also appreciated Annette for gently sharing various facts about the property and nature around it.

This is such a gem of a place! It’s private and incredibly quiet; all you hear is just the birds and the monkeys. Squeaky clean and fully equipped with everything you need. Flexible check-in is a huge for us as we arrived after hours. We had an amazing time and would definitely book this place again.

Super great house. A really nice beach accommodation. That had everything that's needed. There were 3 little houses of local beer ready to welcome you. In addition, 5 liters of water were provided. The house was easy to find. Communication was great!!

Super tolles Haus. Eine richtig schöne Strandunterkunft. Das hatte alles, was benötigt wird. Zur Begrüssung standen 3 Döschen heimisches Bier bereit. Zusätzlich wurden 5 Liter Wasser bereitgestellt. Das Haus war leicht zu finden. Die Kommunikation war super!!
