The bottom pool doubles as a hot tub which can fit your entire party -- easily 12+ and can be accessed through a direct path. The interior has 3 master suites, the 2 upper being oversized and the lower having the outdoor shower.

Other things to note The property is in a small gated community. 4x4 is recommended. This property is only 8 miles from Jaco but it is on a dirt road that is used for ATV tours. It is 5 miles from the Adventure Park, which is the more challenging part of the road. It is slightly longer to Tarcoles but the road is better maintained and a little easier to pass. The driveway is steep and takes some getting used to. Locals get around in all types of vehicles but it is easiest with a 4x4 with decent clearance. Part of the adventure is the drive -- you see waterfalls and rivers, and the dirt road keeps this area significantly less crowded and more of a hidden gem. 2 restaurants are withing walking distance including the local treasure Rancho Shadday and its famous owner Donna Marta.

The property overlooks the entire outdoor area, with sights stretching from Carara all the way to Manuel Antonio. The house includes three master suites with a total of nine beds, providing ample space for guests.

Although it feels secluded, the home is conveniently located just 15 to 20 minutes from downtown Jaco and nearby beaches such as Hermosa and Herradura. Manuel Antonio National Park is an hour away, and the international airport in San Jose is approximately 1.5 hours from the property.

This nearly new construction offers over 4,000 square feet of covered living space alongside impressive outdoor areas. Terraces on the upper level and decking around the pool provide stunning jungle views throughout.

The pool is divided into three connected sections:

- The large top pool is ideal for both relaxation and play.

Inside, the three master suites include two spacious upper bedrooms with covered terraces that provide privacy due to the home's layout. The lower suite features an outdoor shower. There is plenty of seating available to enjoy morning coffee or simply unwind while taking in the jungle surroundings.

- Four air conditioning units: one in each bedroom and one in the common area.
- Five smart TVs: one in each bedroom and two in the common spaces.
- Outdoor ceiling fans to enhance the natural breeze.

## Guest Access

Guests have full access to the entire property except for a small section of one closet in the upper bedrooms, which is reserved for storage and personal belongings. Each bedroom provides ample storage space, including large dressers or built-in cabinets.

## Location

The property is situated within a small gated community. A four-wheel-drive vehicle is recommended due to the terrain.

Although only eight miles from Jaco, the home is accessed via a dirt road commonly used for ATV tours. The road to the Adventure Park, located five miles away, is more challenging, while the route to Tarcoles is longer but better maintained and easier to navigate.

The driveway is steep and may require some adjustment. Locals use various types of vehicles, but a 4x4 with good clearance is best suited for this location.

Part of the experience includes the scenic drive, which passes waterfalls and rivers. The dirt road helps keep the area less crowded, preserving its status as a hidden gem.

## Amenities and Nearby Attractions

- Two restaurants are within walking distance, including the local favorite Rancho Shadday, known for its famous owner Donna Marta.

Private Jungle Home Amazing Pool - Houses for Rent in Jaco, Provincia de Puntarenas, Costa Rica

Beautiful house with lots of amenities and very relaxing. Nice and pristine. Host is very responsive and flexible I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking to feel very cozy!

This house was absolutely fantastic for my family. The pictures online are just as advertised. Beautiful jungle canopy view with a million birds. (Hint: download the Merlin Bird ID app) There are countless different kinds and also the amazing wildlife and ecology is second to none. The house is fantastic along with the pool and hot tub. Directly at the house, we saw countless macaws, a resident iguana who came around a couple of times, a Coati, a poison dart frog and a million other species right from the back deck. If you are coming to Costa Rica to enjoy Jaco but also want to spend your mornings/evenings in a quiet peaceful setting this place is perfect. The road up is a bit of an adventure but as long as you have four-wheel drive and reasonable clearance in the vehicle it is doable and a bit fun. Jeffrey is an outstanding communicator. He is friendly and I would absolutely rent this place again (or buy it if he ever wants to sell!)

The pictures do not do this place justice! The panoramic views are breathtaking with gorgeous sunrises to wake up to daily. This is by far the best Airbnb I have ever stayed in! Thanks to Jeffery for allowing us this amazing opportunity!

Jeffery’s Airbnb was amazing! Beautiful jungle views, lots of wildlife. The pool was amazing and rooms were very clean and spacious. Highly recommend!

Even nicer in person than the photos! The drive there is definitely rough, but 100% worth it for the incredible view. The place wasn’t spotless, but honestly we’re in Costa Rica and that’s pretty much what I expected — it still felt comfortable and authentic. Waking up to that scenery made every bump in the road worth it. Great experience overall and I’d absolutely stay again. Would recommend 1000%. FYI my mom fell inlove with this place. She wants to go back to Costa Rica just to stay in this villa the full 10 days

Beyond impressed with this beautiful home and could not have asked for a better location! While the roads getting there can definitely be a little rough, it's nothing you can't manage with the proper rental. Because of the rugged terrain and location at the top of the mountains, we saw so many birds and incredible wildlife right from the home.  Every morning we had different birds in the tree right outside our bedroom which included Tucans, a flock of parakeets and even a pair of Macaws on our last day. We had a regular iguana that would chill at the pool with us and even had a poison dart frog on he patio. The location was perfect, with only a 20 -30 minute drive to Jaco for shopping and the restaurant right down the road was delicious. This home exceeded my expectations and as a travel advisor, I will be recommending it to all of my clients.

We are so sad to leave the peace and tranquility of Jeffreys home in the jungle. We thoroughly enjoyed the pool, bird sightings, our morning iguana friends and trips into Jaco. The place is clean and very well stocked with necessities. We loved grilling out by the pool. A beautiful country. The views are WORTH staying here. Thank you, Jeffrey, for sharing your home with us for a week!

We had a wonderful time at Jeffrey's place. There was an amazing view!! I was impressed by the fully stocked kitchen and the cleanliness of the place. We had plenty of space for our two families. 7 people in all. We had many visitors to the house including Macaws, Toucans, Cane Toads, and even a poisonous dart frog. Lots of fun for the teenager in the pool. Very relaxing experience for all.

I can not say enough good things about Jeffrey’s paradise/ sanctuary high a top a mountain in the clouds.  Thinking back on having read through comments left by others before our stay - I could not agree more with all the positive reviews… particularly “you will not regret your stay at Jeffrey’s”.  Pictures do not do it justice… panoramic breathtaking views, abundant wildlife… we actually saw a toucan!!! Right from the porch.  Pool is amazing, house is amazing, environment is amazing.  All in you will not regret staying here.  Jeffrey was more than accommodating after some rough travel.  I have been staying at Airbnbs for about a decade… hands down a top stay.  Positive grounding life long memories are made at Jeffrey’s place.  One more time, you will not regret staying here.  Get a solid car/ truck/ 4x4/ good breaks to make it up the mountain however.

I’ve been lucky to travel a lot of places, but this one ranks #1. Excellent location with all the amenities and everything you need. Plenty of privacy and totally safe. It’s wonderful to wake up to those views, the pool, the sounds... Truly wonderful. The host was always very responsive to our messages and needs. Obviously, being in that location, you’re further away from things, but there’s a supermarket and a restaurant nearby, and the road is fine. However, it is best to bring a 4x4 vehicle for the final stretch. I didn’t use it, but in the rainy season or if you’re not very experienced.

He tenido la suerte de viajar mucho y conocer muchos lugares, pero este le pongo en el N°1. Excelente ubicación con todas las comodidades y todo lo necesario. Mucha intimidad y totalmente seguro. Es una maravilla levantarse con esas vistas, la piscina, los sonidos.. Una auténtica maravilla. El anfitrión siempre muy atentos a nuestros mensajes y necesidades. Evidentemente al estar en esa ubicación estás mas alejado de los sitios pero hay un súper y un restaurante cerca y la carretera está bien. Llevar no obstante mejor un 4x4 para el tramo último. Yo no usé pero en temporada de lluvias o si no eres muy experimentado.

We had the most amazing stay at this home. We have traveled all over the world,  and this by far was our favorite place. The home is everything you see in the pictures and more. It is immaculately kept, the beds are comfortable and you have all the amenities you need. Our favorite part was lounging by the pool and hot tub each morning and evening and watching the scarlet macaws and toucans fly over and hang out in nearby trees. It is private and peaceful, exactly what we were looking for. In addition, the local people are kind, friendly, and very helpful. We enjoyed the local restaurants, hiking to the waterfall, hanging out at Jaco beach, massages in the home, and Manuel Antonio park, seeing the monkeys and sloths. Jeffrey was extremely accommodating and helpful in making our trip wonderful. He made great recommendations and answered  all of our questions promptly. We will absolutely be back and 100% recommend this amazing home. It is a very special place.

Large house, well equipped, with breathtaking views. The bumpy road is worth crossing to reach this spectacular oasis of peace. The house is very pleasant to stay in and matches the description. It's a real privilege to be able to stay there!!

Grande maison, bien aménagée, avec vue à couper le souffle. La route cahoteuse vaut la peine d’être franchie pour atteindre ce spectaculaire oasis de paix. La maison est très agréable à vivre et correspond à la description. C’est un vrai privilège de pouvoir y séjourner!!

This place is tucked away in the mountains with a view that will be memorable for a very long time.  Come to this place and just check out from the normal life.  Disconnect from all the hustle / bustle & communication from the real world.  Sit back, watch and listen to nature right in front of you.  There are pools which making just staying at the house relaxing and easy.  The ride up is a bit bumpy but that is the only way to get to the house that exists in the mountains of costa rica.  The wifi is surprisingly good for the house location.  The host was helpful & set us up with some locals to find out where the food was and also the places to go.  We had a local woman (owns the restaurant down the street) come and cook some of our meals.  She was absolutely amazing and I highly recommend getting that info from the host.  Add this place to your bucket list.  Long day to get there but in the end it is worth it!

This place is amazing!!! I enjoyed everything

Stunning! The view is unbelievable and the house is set up so well. My husband and I traveled with our 6 and 7 year old and my parents. The accommodations worked perfectly with a main floor bedroom as well as two large bedrooms with bathrooms upstairs. The pools were a great depth for cooling off and fun to be had by all. Tons of wildlife to be seen right from the pool too. The restaurants near by are good and also have a great view. Driving up and down the mountain is part of the adventure. Thank you Jeffery for sharing your home with us.

What a great property! Our family of two adults and four kids spent a month at this property, and it was one of our top Airbnb stays in Costa Rica. We absolutely loved the location, the home, and the views. The home was spotless when we arrived and was well furnished for our stay. Highly recommend!

Everything about the home was spectacular!! We loved waking up and sipping coffee to the beautiful sounds of the birds and looking at the breathtaking views. We saw scarlet macaws, toucans and turkey vultures amongst a variety of other small birds from the balconies everyday. The toucans loved landing in the tree right off the balcony. My kids had the BEST time swimming, catching the red eyed tree frogs, watching the iguanas and playing with the lizards. We even got to see a group of white faced monkeys climb across a power line on our way off the mountain. It was spectacular. Jefferey was an amazing host. Everything about his home is absolutely amazing and set up for a family to enjoy from the huge amount of games in the home to the pool and hot tub. We would absolutely stay here again. It felt like the real Costa Rica experience!!

definitely worth every penny spent but the only thing was only one way to get to jaco and 3/4 of the way into our stay a massive tree fell in the route, so we couldn't go that direction any more and had to take the other route backwards which was an extra 30 min

All the other reviews are spot on.  The views alone are worth the drive.  The first time up the mountain was an adventure, but it just added to our memories as we couldn’t stop laughing as we climbed straight up into the clouds.  The views, the toucans, the pools, the restaurants right beneath the house,  made this a perfect place for our trip.  Jeffrey was a great host and very responsive and helpful.  Pro tip, Doña Marta from Rancho Shadday will come and cook dinner for you - home cooked empanadas and the dessert will blow you away.

Thank you so much for being such an amazing host! From the moment we arrived, everything exceeded our expectations. A huge thank you to Travis as well — he was incredibly attentive and made sure all our needs were taken care of with such kindness and professionalism. We also truly appreciated your recommendations — Jossie was fantastic for transportation, and Chef Marta absolutely blew us away with her delicious meals. Wow! Our entire group had an unforgettable experience, relaxing and were so grateful for the comfort, hospitality, and attention to detail that made this stay so special. We hope to return again soon! One thing we do recommend is leaving flashlights for when the lights go out. Some slept through the night and some had a hard time sleeping without AC. But overall it was great! With heartfelt thanks, Doreen, Luis, Samara, Ray, Mari and Isabel.

The view is absolutely beautiful. The house had everything we needed for our family of six. The pool was a dream to come back to each day after exploring. We saw a number of animals right outside the windows. I would recommend you have 4WD, especially for one of the routes to get you to the location. If you are coming at night, it may be challenging to find the location.  We would come back in a heartbeat.

The view from the house and the pool are worth a million dollars. That alone is worth every penny we paid. Jeffrey was very responsive and helpful. You must be aware that the house, because it is so high up in the mountains is a 25 minute drive up a bumpy road, that sometimes has landslides. That’s just the price you pay for the amazing view and seclusion. There were toucans, macaws, coatis, toads, and lizards in our yard everyday!!!!  You will not get over the sheer peace and beauty. There are two local restaurants two mins from the house. The house is not in immaculate condition. It is lovely and perfectly fine, but could use a paint job and a thorough deep clean. The televisions in the bedrooms would not connect to apps, so they were useless (not that anyone goes to CR to watch tv). Some doors and handles need replaced but that was reassuring because we stayed there for a month with five kids. We did not have to worry about the kids breaking anything. I would highly recommend!!!!

The view of this house is breathtaking jeffery was very helpful and responded within a couple of minutes I enjoyed my stay and will definitely do it all again i was scared being a city girl staying in the jungle and driving up that mountain but i came , saw , and conquer we did that thanks again jeffery until next time

Our family stayed for ten nights as a home base to explore the Pacific side of Costa Rica. The pool was fantastic! I especially enjoyed the bottom pool that doubles as hot tub (when my kids weren't in the upper half splashing the cold water into it). The pool is very large with lots of space for splashing, and there is so much wildlife and bird-watching off of the amazing porch and decks. We were mesmerized by the scarlet macaws that flew by and sometimes roosted nearby. Being in the mountains, you are literally in the clouds. It was other-worldly when they rolled in most afternoons. So cool! Indoors: we utilized the kitchen quite frequently, making dinner every night. Kitchen was well stocked with supplies for cooking. The living area was very comfortable and great for watching TV together in the evening. Bathrooms and bedrooms were well-appointed with what we needed, and the washer/dryer was great to have, as we are light packers and did get muddy some days. Overall a wonderful stay!

WOW! The photos just do not do this home justice! A beautiful retreat with spectacular views of the jungle. Equipped with everything you need from pool accessories, sun block and a bunch of games! The host was very communicative and responsive with any questions or concerns we’ve had. The 2 local restaurants have delicious traditional Costa Rican food with even more beautiful views. Jeffrey’s place had recommendations for excursions and some more places for food. Jaćo was a short 20 minute trip where you can find many things to do while walking the strip. We cannot wait to return! Thank you Jeffrey. PURA VIDA!

This place is so wonderful. Beyond  beautiful views. There is also so much space in the house and the host provides everything you could need like towels and sunscreen. Host and property manager are so quick to respond. The 2 nearby restaurants are also delicious!

We had an absolutely fantastic time staying at Jeffrey’s place. From start to finish, everything exceeded our expectations. The communication with Jeffrey was smooth and prompt. He gave us clear instructions and was very friendly. The space was clean and beautifully decorated, providing a cozy and welcoming atmosphere. The amenities provided were excellent ensuring that we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. We enjoyed the pool and outdoor patio space. The location was perfect, very private, and we were also greeted by different birds everyday which made the stay even better. Overall, our experience was amazing and we completely recommend Jeffrey and his property. Thank you for letting us stay and we will definitely be back!

We had a great stay in this house. The view and the facilities were amazing. You definitely need a 4x4 to reach the house and it's quite a bumpy road on the mountain but it was definitely worth it! A very nice host who responds quickly in case of questions.

Lovely villa, very memorable to stay at this unique location

Amazing, beautiful location for a relaxing vacation! The home is stunning, host and property manager were both very responsive and helpful! The drive to get to the home was daunting the first time, but once I got used to the twists and turns it was definitely manageable in a 4WD vehicle. Everyone we met was welcoming and friendly. I will definitely be returning in the future!  If you are looking for a getaway in a pristine home with incredible views, I highly recommend!

What a beautiful house! We loved our stay and the spectacular view that the house offered. The path to get there is difficult but totally worth it. The pool is amazing and the hot tub is nice for evenings. The house is well-equipped and perfect for a group. Strongly recommend the place!

Quelle magnifique maison! Nous avons adoré notre séjour et la vue spectaculaire que la maison offrait. Le chemin pour se rendre est difficile mais en vaut totalement la peine. La piscine est incroyable et le jacuzzi est agréable pour les soirées. La maison est bien équipée et parfaite pour un groupe. Nous recommandons vivement l’endroit!

We cant say enough great things about this amazing place. Absolute paradise. I do suggest a 4x4 vehicle as recommended by the host. Jeffrey was such a wonderful host and helpful every step of the way, and responded very quickly to any questions. He also provided great local recommendations for car rental and excursions. Tons of space for gathering and a very well equipped kitchen for preparing any meals. Could stay in the pool forever sadly we had to go home. We will definitely be back. Pura Vida

The views from the house are some of the BEST we’ve ever experienced in Costa Rica! We spent a good portion of our time at the house and created some beautiful memories there. The beds were very comfortable, great linens and towels. Jeffrey was super helpful throughout the whole process. Highly recommend staying here.

Great stay! Absolutely loved it! Awesome communication and directions. Def recommend if you’re coming to CR!

Absolutely amazing!  Beautiful property with best ever views, pools and home.  Lots of different birds, daily visits from macaws and toucans!  We did not even want to leave.  We will definitely return for another, and longer, stay!  Jeffrey was great on communication, a very responsive host.

Our family of 10 had an unforgettable stay at Jeffrey’s home in Costa Rica! From the moment we left SJO, the drive to the property was breathtaking, with incredible views and an adventurous route that set the tone for the trip. The house was spacious and perfect for accommodating all of us comfortably. One of the highlights of our stay was definitely the pools—they were stunning and made for endless fun and relaxation! Jeffrey was a fantastic host, always responsive and incredibly helpful. He assisted us with booking activities and recommending transportation options, which made planning our trip so much easier. Since the home is nestled in the jungle, we were lucky enough to spot some incredible wildlife, including toucans and other beautiful creatures. It truly felt like a once-in-a-lifetime experience to be surrounded by such natural beauty. This was a 10/10 experience for our family, and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it to anyone looking for a perfect jungle getaway!

Amazing all around! Great views, beautiful home.

Incredible host/home/mountain location with spectacular views! Host Jeff = 10 stars. Guidance on our trip + excellent recommendations on vehicle rental, adventures, dining etc! When we arrived after entering the gated community, the home was spotless with more than enough space for our family of 6. Both upstairs rooms have large ensuites + closets, with access to the wrap around balcony + the endless stunning views. The main floor has a large kitchen/living area with full views of ‘heaven’. Another bathroom & great bedroom w/access to main floor balcony. Laundry room was huge plus for us as we like to pack light! 3 tiered pool with top for swimming, middle for colder plunge, lower hot tub! We had everything we needed! Jeff and his property manager Travis were exceptional! P.S Must try authentic Rancho Shadday around the corner -great food, owner and views! Thank you so much Jeff! It was a trip of a lifetime for our family - and you, your home, your guidance and suggestions made it so!

The house was awesome!  it did not disappoint. The house it's own toucan that stopped by every morning. Whenever we had questions, Jeffrey answered them quickly. Will rent this gorgeous home in the future!

Super nice place, with amazing views of the mountains. We were able to see 8 Ara and several toucans who came to perch on the tree next to the pool. And this is only 20 minutes from Jacó. Jeffrey answered our questions well and was very quick to answer us. I recommend having a nice holiday in peace.

Super beau logement, avec une vue incroyable sur les montagnes. Nous avons pu voir 8 Ara et plusieurs toucans qui sont venu se percher sur l’arbre à côté de la piscine. Et ce A seulement 20 min de Jacó. Jeffrey a bien répondu à nos questions et était très rapide à nous répondre. Je recommande pour passer de bel vacances en tout tranquillité.

The home is in a beautiful and peaceful location in the mountains. We have been to Costa Rica a number of times, but this home has one of the best views we have seen. The home has everything you need, including a wonderful pool area with lots of seating. The host was always responsive and helpful. We would highly recommend this home.

Staying here offered such breath views. I am glad we took videos bc photos can’t capture all the beauty throughout the day. The toucans were our favorite to watch play nearby. Perfect pool. Hot tub is great if you keep it running all day. House was well stocked. We had some bug issues, but nothing overwhelming. Lights at night quickly attract bugs 😅 We loved the tranquility of this experience. Thank you for the memories in this amazing space.

What an incredible property.  We loved the jungle all around and the feel that gave us.  Felt so private and right in the middle of nature with the convenience of 2 delicious restaurants within walking distance.  The home is perched on top of the mountains with stunning views all around.  We had Tucans and Macaws landing in the tree beside the pool.  Just AMAZING.   The pool itself with built in hot tub was such a luxury.  We did not want to leave.  Thank you Jeff!

The views are amazing!!! First time in Costa Rica and Jeffery’s place did not disappoint. We rented a 4x4 suv and had no problem coming and going from the location. Definitely recommend eating at Rancho Shadday, delicious and very friendly staff.

Beautiful Villa on one of the highest mountain cliffs with amazing views. Plenty of space in this cozy home and the pool and patio area was the hangout spot for our 4 day stay.

Incredible place, views, wildlife and so many activities close by

It was perfect to get away and relax. The road there is a little rough(def recommend a 4x4). We loved playing dominios and getting to know the locals.

Jeffery is an amazing host and goes above and beyond to answer all questions. The house was perfect with amazing views! 10 out of 10 recommend if you are looking for a quiet place nestled in the tropical forest. (We rented a 4X4 van and only had to use it once)

We had an absolutely amazing stay. The house and the view that comes with it are stunning!

We have stayed in a lot of AirBNBs, this home is our FAVORITE! A perfect place to stay for couples & families. Jeffrey is an excellent host, responding IMMEDIATELY to any questions we had. One of the reasons we loved it:  his place is INCREDIBLY comfortable.  So many hosts buy cheap couches that are mediocre, at best. Not Jeffrey. His home has big futons to lounge on AND comfortable beds. There is wonderful, plentiful seating outside on both the upper wrap-around balcony as well as poolside, a LARGE area for sunning & sitting out to watch the sunrise. The 3-tiered pool is DIVINE with cold pool water...ideal! The 240-degree view is absolutely STUNNING. The best in Costa Rica! This drive is NOT a bad drive & it’s close to Jaco, Hermosa Beach, etc. We highly recommend this BEAUTIFUL home, complete with awesome support from Jeffrey, an EXTRAORDINARY host! Thank you, Jeffrey, for sharing your PHENOMENAL home with us. We LOVED every minute of our stay in your blissful place on earth!

Definitely a once in a lifetime experience! It’s mountainous, isolated, beautiful, and comfortable! Jeffrey and Travis were always available and helpful. It’s an adventure getting there and we were glad to have a 4x4. I would recommend you getting the same. Jeffrey and Travis were so accommodating, it was almost ridiculous. 😂😂 Remember, you’re in the jungle. There will be bugs anywhere you go in CR. Embrace the experience! One of the best experiences from Airbnb we’ve had!

Absolutely amazing place. Beautiful pool, beautiful views, large space for lots of people or activities, tons of board games provided. The location is great for peace and quiet but if your in large groups it does take awhile to get up the mountain, but that's the only downfall. Very much enjoyed the stay and Jeffrey communicated well setting us up with a driver and recommending activities and restaurants.

Absolutely million dollar views all the way to the ocean with beautiful tropical birds and all sorts of wildlife and butterflies everywhere it was one of the best Airbnb we’ve ever stayed at globally. We would absolutely recommend this. It was stunning in every way.

I had my 31st birthday here with friends and family . I loved every moment of it . And being from Jamaica I felt right at home . Very clean . Right with nature . View was remarkable. Pool was beautiful. Everything was just like the pictures and it was amazing. I’ll definitely be staying again. The host was beyond amazing . Gave me every recommendations I needed . I couldn’t have asked for a better host . Thank you Jeff

We had a wonderful stay at Jeffrey's place!  The views were awesome!  It was worth the drive up the mountain.  Great pools and hot tub!  The house is beautiful!

I would stay here again. The location is amazing and the house is beautiful. There is AC in every room.  My kids loved the pool.  You can access the property from 2 different directions.  Both are dirt roads.  Our 11 passenger van made it, even during a rain storm, although if it was raining again I would have taken the other route that had the better road.  The host is very responsive and was excellent to work worth.  I highly reccomend this location.

I planned a birthday group trip here and it was amazing! More than enough room for everyone to sleep comfortably. Very peaceful and beautiful ( exactly like the pictures) . Clear instructions and Jeffrey was even nice enough to connect us with personal drivers who made the experience great as well! Multiple restaurants were walking distance. Overall everything was a 10/10.

thank you so much for a super nice stay! Jeffrey and travis were both very helpful and friendly when our car broke down and we had chaos. thank you so much!

mange tak for et super lækkert ophold! Jeffrey og travis var begge meget hjælpsomme og venlige, da vores bil brød sammen og vi havde kaos. tusinde tak!

Beautiful view! Pool was amazing Perfect location Very spacious Very well equipped Great communication with host. Down the road from Rancho Shadday restaurant, owner was amazing and food was great! Definitely recommend! 10/10

This place was above and beyond!! The pictures match the description yet it’s too beautiful to even capture in a photo. It was an absolute dream. The birds, the sounds, the POOL.. everything. Jeffrey was so accommodating, let us check in early, clear directions. He gave us recommendations in the local areas. I posted photos to my social media and now all my friends and family want to come to Costa Rica just for this amazing place. Priced extremely well. Everything you need. Thank you again Jeffrey!!

This place is amazing the only issue I had was the roads leading to this amazing gem other then that this place was Amazing

Beautiful Mountain views, private location, wonderful hosts just be aware it is on a mountain.

Beautiful, Peaceful Spacious and Clean.. Disclaimer: Understand to get to house you will be driving up a non paved side of mountain that has no street lights. So arriving before dark is highly recommended also recommended is having a 4x4 especially if it’s rainy season driving a car during that time would be next to impossible. However once you arrive y’all never want to leave.

what a nice place to stay. At the beginning we had trouble finding the cottage in the dark, but due to the fantastic guidance of travis we were right there. Travis had prepared everything well, and it was nice and cool in the house, which did not surprise us because travis is a cool frog. Everything in the house accentuated the presence of Travis. the chairs, the tables, the sheets everything was cool as a frog or Travis. Through Travis his excellent care of the house, we can agree that this was really top. Travis also kept all fat ugly weeds against those woods with us. travis thank you so much, what a staggering nice gappie

wat was dit een mooie plek om te verblijven. aan het begin hadden we moeite om het huisje te vinden in het donker, maar door de fantastische begeleiding van travis waren we er zo. travis had alles goed voorbereid, en het was lekker koel in het huis, wat ons niet verbaasde want travis is een coole kikker. alles in het huis accentueerde de aanwezigheid van Travis. de stoelen, de tafels, de lakens alles was cool als een kikker oftewel Travis. door Travis zijn uitstekende verzorging van het huis kunnen wij beamen dat dit echt top was. travis hield ook alle dikke lelijke wijven tegen die wouden feesten bij ons. travis ontzettend bedankt, wat ben jij een ontzettende leuke gappie

This home is a completely immersive experience in the culture and nature of Costa Rica. Between all of our family members I had quite a list of things I was looking for in a place: not too far from either of the airports or beaches, jungle views, lots of wildlife, restaurants that we could walk to, close to an authentic Costa Rican town, amazing pool, 3 bedrooms. Jeffrey's house literally checked every one of my boxes. It seemed too good to be true, but the home did not disappoint but rather surpassed our expectations! The views are breathtaking. The house is completely luxurious with everything we could want or need. We loved walking to Rancho Shadday's for dinner in the evenings. Bijagual, just a couple of minutes drive, was the perfect non touristy, quintessential town I was hoping for. Waterfalls, hikes, horseback riding are all nearby. Jaco Beach is just half an hour away. But sitting out on the shaded decks watching toucans and macaws, we felt like we were a million miles away!

A beautiful place, recommended for someone who really likes nature as it is far from the beach, but the house is beautiful and super equipped

Un lugar hermoso, recomendado para alguien que le gusta mucho la naturaleza, ya que queda lejillos de la playa, pero la casa es hermosa y super equipada

This was an excellent stop for my family and I during our Spring Break trip to Costa Rica.  The home is close enough to Jaco and the surround area to find activities and get what you need but then is tucked away up on a mountain.  The drive up the mountain was definitely intimidating the first round (gravel road windy mountain road part of the way up), but by second time around when  my partner and I got acclimated we both agreed it was well worth it to escape the chaotic hustle and bustle down on Hwy 34. The full side of the home has a huge wrap around porch area both on the first and second level  to see miles in every direction. We saw so many birds and even spotted a monkey on our drive up one night.  The small restaurant we walked to called Rancheo Shadday was quintessential Costa Rica mountain atmosphere. We were graciously given flexibility during check in. If you want to escape this is a home that allows you to do that.

The Villa is bigger than the photos show! Very spacious! 3 gated bedrooms so two have two beds. Vast common area! The pools are very well maintained, huge and with an extraordinary view! The photos don't pay homage to the amazing views from the bedrooms and in the pool! There is the village 35 minutes by car where you can find restaurants, Walmart-style grocery store... There are also two restaurants within walking distance, near the Villa. Less good for us: The Villa is very far in the high mountains! The road is dangerous and very intense to get there. It takes a 4x4. A few bugs sneak into the house since some doors don't close 100%. The bedrooms are not soundproofed at all. The kitchen is not convenient, it is not well equipped and everything is tidy anywhere, it is difficult to navigate. At the summary we loved it!

La Villa est plus grande que les photos le démontre ! Très spacieux ! 3 chambres fermées donc deux disposent de deux lits. Aire commune vaste ! Les piscine sont très bien entretenues, immenses et avec une vue extraordinaire ! Les photos ne rendent pas hommage à la vue imprenable qu'il y a à partir des chambres et dans les piscine ! Il y a le village à 35 minutes d'auto où on retrouve des restaurants, épicerie style Walmart... Il y a également deux restaurants accessibles à pied, près de la Villa. Moins bons points pour nous: La Villa est très loin en haute montagne ! La route est dangereuse et très intense pour s'y rendre. Ça prend un 4x4. Quelques bestioles se faufilent dans la maison puisque certaines portes ne ferment pas à 100%. Les chambres ne sont pas du tout insonorisées.. La cuisine n'est pas pratique, elle n'est pas bien équipée et tout est rangé n'importe où, c'est difficile de s'y retrouver. Au sommaire nous avons adoré !

Hi Lydia,  I am sorry you did not like the location.  I try to be very clear on the listing the home is in the mountains and the road can be tricky, hence recommending a 4x4 vehicle and pointing out it is the road used for ATV tours.  This keeps the home very private.  I do wish you would have reached out to me before leaving a review that caused us to lose our perfect rating.  Especially given all of the communication throughout the process as well as us allowing you to check out 22 hours after what our normal time due to your flight issues.  We would of happily helped find you other accommodations that may have suited your needs better.  We take great pride in doing everything we can to make sure all of our guests have a wonderful experience from start to finish.

Jeffrey's house is nestled atop a mountain on the east side, boasting stunning sunrises. The thrilling journey along the 12 km dirt/gravel road, accessible only with a 4x4, adds to the sense of adventure and seclusion. The house itself is fully equipped with a delightful lap pool and all the amenities for a tranquil and extended stay; we cherished every moment of our two-week retreat. Despite being just 13 km from Jacó, the drive along the road became a daily ritual. Jeff and Travis were exceptional hosts, promptly attending to any minor issues we had, ensuring a truly wonderful and unforgettable experience.

We absolutely LOVED our stay! Jeffrey and his local cohost Travis were awesome. It was perfect for our family of 6 and the location overlooking the mountains was surreal. The drive from the airport and to and from downtown Jaco was never an issue and we preferred the privacy and the views. The pool was where we spent most of our time when we weren’t out on adventures. We woke up to a stunning sunrise that we could see from our bed every morning and saw so many birds including toucans, hawks,  and macaws. We ate at the soda Rancho Shadday twice and be sure to do the swing there! The smoothies and rice bowls were awesome. I am also an Airbnb host and I would highly recommend this property.

We had a great stay! A couple of tips: do not come up after dark. Jeff told me that and he was absolutely right! The road was much more manageable during the day. The restaurants right down the hill were both great and I would recommend both. The kitchen is fully stocked so consider stopping at the mercado before arriving. We spent most of our time in the pool and appreciated the sunscreen and games that were provided. Overall a wonderful stay and would definitely stay again!

Jeffrey and co-host Travis were very friendly and helpful. The home is beautiful and very well kept.   Very spacious.  We woke up to beautiful birds chirping every morning. The pool and view was my favorite. The house was worth the drive.

A house located in a mountainous area, which keeps it cool, we didn't need to use the AC. Very comfortable and well equipped, with beautiful views and the unique pool! We visited the Rancho Shaday restaurant, which is next to the house, and  all the delicious food! We will stay in this beautiful house again!

Una casa ubicada en zona montañosa, lo que la mantiene fresca, no tuvimos necesidad de utilizar el AC. Muy cómoda y bien equipada, con vistas hermosas y la piscina única! Visitamos el restaurante Rancho Shaday, que está al lado de la casa, y  toda la comida deliciosa! Volveremos a hospedarnos en esta hermosa casa!

Great peaceful place, beatiful location and both owner and manager are friendly, flexible and great help. Only comment for new comers, during rainy season I'd recommend a 4x4 since the road could become little tricky...however, the place totally worth the adventure. Thanks, Gustavo

The house is beautiful, the weather is perfect, the views on another level! Very grateful for the place!!!

La casa es hermosa, el clima perfecto, las vistas de otro nivel! Muy agradecido con el lugar!!!

Excellent house overlooking the ocean, excellent position of the house and privacy, very luxurious, everything was tidy and the house was too clean and very large. The pool is incredible since it has 3 and one of it is hot water so in the evenings you can be in that pool without cold and very chiva. 100% recommended to spend time with family or friends on a good weekend to share. Don Jeffrey took care of us too well and really nice to us.

Excelente casa con vista al mar, excelente posición de la casa y privacidad, muy lujosa, todo estaba ordenado y la casa demasiado chiva limpia y muy grande. La piscina increíble ya que tiene 3 y una de ella es de agua caliente por lo que por las noches puedes estar en esa piscina sin frío y muy chiva. Recomendado al 100% para pasar en familia o con los amigos en un buen fin de semana para compartir. Don Jeffrey nos atendió demasiado bien y muy amable con nosotros.

The stay at Jeffrey's home was spectacular! Thank you for excellent communication and kindness! I would certainly recommend the place and stay again!! The house has all the facilities

La estadía en la casa de Jeffrey fue espectacular! Gracias por una Excelente comunicación y amabilidad! sin duda recomendaría el lugar y volvería a quedarme !! La casa tiene todas las facilidades !

It is a very nice house, definitely something to be with friends or as a family, the house has everything you need and so that everyone is comfortable. Travis and Jeffrey were always available, in the rainy season they were preferably going in large cars as there are road sectors that are a bit complicated but not impossible. Definitely a wonderful place, we would definitely go again.

Es una casa muy linda, definitivamente algo para estar con amigos o en familia, la casa cuenta con todo lo necesario y para que todos estén cómodos. Travis y Jeffrey en todo momento estaban a la disposición, en temporada de lluvia preferiblemente ir en carros grandes ya que hay sectores de la carretera que son un poco complicados pero no imposibles. Sin duda alguna es un lugar maravilloso, definitivamente volveríamos a ir.

Amazing beautiful home on top of a mountain. The pool was great for our family as there was a heated area where we went for our nightly swim when it got cooler. This home has a million $ view where we also saw Toucans and Red Macaws. We drove up in a minivan that had difficulties with the steep hills but if you had a 4x4 it would not be a problem. It was a nice escape from the hustle of everyday life. Thank you to Jeffrey for ensuring we were taken care of and a BIG thank you to Travis for meeting us when we got lost and also made sure our family had supper before he left.  We felt very welcomed and had a great time at the home. We will definitely book again.

Absolutely stunning! Even more amazing in person! Jeff went above and beyond helping us feel welcome by connecting us with a driver (would definitely recommend JTCtransfer&tour because the road is steep and the house is far up the mountain). Comfortably fit 12 girls. Would recommend visiting Jaco falls and Bijagual. We were able to walk to both but it was a bit more advanced. We loved our nightly walks to Rancho Shadday across the street for empanadas, Doña Marta is so sweet! Was a bit worried about the rain but it ended up being ideal bc the weather is so warm. Wouldn’t have changed anything. Mornings were clear and we saw lots of birds and iguanas. Outdoor shower under the stars was a highlight. The house had everything you could possibly need and Jeff was so quick at responding and very helpful. The pool is fantastic, I don’t think my hair was dry the entire week bc of all the swimming! Will definitely be coming back!! This place is magic (:

This house is awesome. It has everything you can possibly need. Board games, fully stocked kitchen, plenty of beds, towels, soap, tv's, laundry room. The view is amazing. It is 30 min away from jaco, but if your lookin for a private, mountain view home, i would highly recommended this house. Getting there is hallf the fun. The 3 level pool is super cool, waters warm and its completely private. 5 adults w/ 5 kids. No problem.. plenty of room.

Great location for someone looking for privacy and nature. The beautiful house is fully equipped with everything, the host is very friendly and attentive to answer any questions quickly. I would definitely go back to that beautiful place, thank you for everything

Excelente ubicación para alguien que busca privacidad y naturaleza. La casa preciosa está totalmente equipada con todo, el anfitrión es muy amable y está atento a responder rápido cualquier duda. Sin lugar a dudas volvería a ese hermoso lugar, gracias por todo
