jungle house - Houses for Rent in Cocles, Limon, Costa Rica

Did you see a painting by Henri Rousseau?  It's like being inside one of them.  It's a wonderful jungle, and the house is beautiful and comfortable. Two kilometers away is the beach, and you can get everything at neighboring supermarkets. Access requires a high vehicle but is easily walkable. 

¿Ha visto un cuadro de Henri Rousseau?  Es como estar dentro de uno de ellos.  Es una selva maravillosa, y la casa es hermosa y confortable. A dos kilómetros está la playa, y se puede conseguir de todo en los supermercados vecinos. El acceso requiere un vehículo alto, pero es fácilmente transitable. 

Gideon's place is a beautifully peaceful escape from city life.  If you are looking for a relaxing getaway, look no further.  

Nice place to detach from the world. We had some minor issues with the bed sheets and blankets. The access requires a 4x4. Gideon was available and followed up our needs, via message and phone. However the local support was not that efficient. Overall, we enjoyed our stay. Great place to read and meditate. 

We really enjoyed the privacy and jungle atmosphere and saw toucans, sloths and howler monkeys from the comfortable porch. The house itself is really comfortable and the bathroom are modern with plenty of hot, hot water. There are ceiling fans in each room, but we didn't really need the as it was perfect temperature at night for sleeping. The house itself is beautifully crafted in wood. It was a pleasure to stay in Gideon's house. Once you got used to it he drive up and down was pretty quick and easy, so no downsides about the location.

My girlfriend and I stayed here for 5 days.  The place is great.  An abundance of wildlife.  We saw toucans, sloths, and a variety of monkey's.  Gideon was  very helpful, and checking in and out was very easy.  I would highly recommend this property.

Very nice and unique house set in the middle of the jungle. You get to listen to the howler monkeys and birds every morning. About a 10-15 min drive to the closest beach (4x4 needed). Both Gideon and Ulises who helps Gideon with the guests were really helpful and attentive. The only issue we had was with the house's cleanlinesss since we found dirty bathrooms and kitchen plates. Besides that we had a great stay.

Interesting location set in the jungle as described but the downside is the steep 50-60 meter long driveway which you must walk as it's too slippery to drive and if carrying anything more that a backpack then it's quite difficult. You will also need a 4WD vehicle as the 2.5km road in is very rough and the last section impossible without the 4WD.  But the house itself is impressive and was well maintained and all amenities including ample fresh water.  The jungle setting is great with the sounds of the jungle enjoyed from the vast balcony and hammock. It's a large house with huge bedrooms.  For something different it's quite unique and well worth it but just keep in mind the need for a 4WD and the long steep and slippery walk down to the house as the elderly may struggle or if you're toting suitcases as we were.  Caretaker Ulisses was a nice guy and very helpful.

This house is truly magical! If you're looking for a real ''jungle experience'' this is the place!  We spent 6 wonderful days looking at monkeys, toucans, frogs, parrots and many other critters from the porch. But being so close to nature means nature will invite itself in, at any time of day or night.  Gideon was very good at communicating, giving directions and translating when needed. He made sure we were ok and all settled in.  No need to rent a 4x4 to get there, just AWD with a bit of clearance will do the job.  We absolutely loved it.

Jungle house is marvellous, perfect wooden house with details in every corner to made you feel at home. Complete furniture and kitchenware, wild environment , everything clean. Definitely weloved it. 

First, the house is beautiful. It has an enviable location and environment. It was probably a gem when it was built.  We find it in a regular state.   Some travel tips: 1- Consider that the entrance can be complicated upon departure, in this case a 4x4 it is best to go up with speed and not forcefully. 2- During our stay we did not have internet. We recommend bringing contingency plan, ice-KOLBI has an acceptable signal on site. If required, you can go eat an ice cream in Alice, Playa Chiquita, an excellent and quiet place (key: tacotaco). 3- Perhaps the most important: Once you enter the stone road, don't turn off until you reach the CROSSROADS that says "LOS VAGOS." DO not enter through that street but take the right AT the crossroads.  4- They bring insect repellent. 5- Keep in mind that the water for consumption must be replaced, the owner will not cover it. In this case the best and cheapest thing is to go to some supermarket in Puerto Viejo (Old Harbor) is very convenient. 6- Bring hand soap, dish soap, bath soap, and other cleaning utensils.  7- Do not leave doors open overnight as wildlife can enter. 8- Be careful in laundry room. Always bring a closed shoe to enter the place and check well. During our stay we found a snake inside it.

Primero, la casa es hermosa. Tiene una ubicación y entorno envidiables. Probablemente era una joya cuando fue construida.  La encontramos en estado regular.   Algunos tips para viajeros: 1- Consideren que la entrada puede ser complicada a la salida, en este caso un 4x4 lo mejor es que suba con velocidad y no con fuerza. 2- Durante la estadía nuestra NO tuvimos internet. Recomendamos llevar plan de contingencia, ICE-KOLBI tiene una señal aceptable en el lugar. En caso de requerirlo pueden ir a comer un helado en Alice, playa Chiquita, excelente lugar y tranquilo (clave: tacotaco). 3- Quizás el mas importante: Una vez que entran en la carretera de piedra no se desvíen hasta llegar al CRUCE que dice "LOS VAGOS". NO entren por esa calle sino que tomen hacia la derecha EN el cruce.  4- Lleven repelente para insectos. 5- Consideren que el agua para consumo la tienen que reponer, el dueño no va a cubrirla. En este caso lo mejor y más barato es ir a algún supermercado en Puerto Viejo (Old Harbor) es muy cómodo. 6- Lleven Jabón de manos, Jabón para los platos, Jabón de baño, y demás implementos de limpieza.  7- No dejen puertas abiertas durante la noche ya que la fauna puede entrar. 8- Tengan cuidado en la Lavandería. Lleven siempre zapato cerrado para entrar al lugar y revisen bien. Durante nuestra estadía encontramos una serpiente dentro de la misma.

If I could rate this place purely based on the host and his kindness and quick response time it would definitely be a five. Unfortunately there were a few issues that I feel cannot be overlooked. When we arrived it seemed as if the house was not ready for us at all. In fact it seemed as if no one had been there for months. I contacted Gideon immediately and he remedied most of our problems as quickly as possible! The house is beautiful! The porch is perfect for relaxing and hanging out. If you do not like bugs please do not consider renting this property as it is deep in the jungle and is very open to the environment. We enjoyed the wide variety of beetles and other insects that we spotted while staying here, but bugs are not for everyone, and they do tend to leave behind a mess. Overall this house wasn't as clean and comfortable as I had hoped, and believe me it kills me to say that because I was so looking forward to staying there and seriously Gideon was wonderful through the whole booking and staying process. As far as I can tell, the oversights to readiness and cleanliness were not his fault, but the people he has hired to maintain the place. It is a shame to see such a beautiful location receive less care than it needs and deserves.  

My family and I had a great weekend in Gideon's house. We loved the harmony of building the house with nature. Upon arrival the house was clean and well accommodated. Among the comments we read was said about the inconvenience for check-in but for us we talked to Thomas and he sent us a link with the address by waze and we arrived without any problems. I personally recommend it.  

Mi familia y yo pasamos un excelente fin de semana en la casa de Gideon. Nos encanto la armonía de la construcción de la casa con la naturaleza. Al llegar la casa estaba limpia y bien acomodada. Entre los comentarios que leímos se decía de lo incomodo para la llegada pero en el caso de nosotros hablamos con Thomas y nos envió un link con la dirección por waze y llegamos sin inconvenientes. Personalmente la recomiendo.  

We arrived during the night and no lighting was provided to get to this very difficult place for newcomers. Truly the jungle with everything that it means for uninitiated people like me.

Nous sommes arrivé durant la nuit et aucun éclairage n'avait été prevu pour se rendre à cet endroit très difficile d'accès pour des nouveaux venu. Vraiment la jungle avec tout ce que cela signifie pour des non initiés tel que moi.

Very difficult to find in the dark, but jungle location is lovely & unique and house design is also.  Four wheel drive mandatory to get there. Problems:  roof leaks over bed/mildew on mattress.  Dryer does not work/ can't do laundry.  Path to house from parking is extremely muddy.  Open lattice  allows insects in house.  4 towels for 4 guests not sufficient in moist climate. TV/cable/ Wi-Fi not operable.  Written instructions needed.  Housekeeping marginal.  Would advise future travelers to purchase local cell phone to contact caretaker. 

The house is exactly what the description says, a one of a kind luxury jungle house. Breakfast while spotting tucanes, howler monekys, going out of the house and seeing rare frogs, truly spectacular. Though it is a bit out of the main way, it is 30 minutes walking and we did the trip to the beach by bike several times. Best of all is the combination of jungle and beach which this house offers. The house itself os very well equipped, has all you need and is stunning! Gideon was very friendly and responded quickly and Thomas was super helpful ( by even towing us out of the mud- in rainy season 4x4 is essential). Had an amazing month!

This place is awesome!  I recommend it to anyone who wants to get a feel for the environment in this region of the world.  Gideon was very responsive and the people who watch the property were very nice, make sure you've got a car with 4x4 capabilities though!

Listing was very accurate. House was lovely and clean. Would recommend for sure to anyone who wants something unique in Costa Rica.

Gideon's jungle house is absolutely beautiful. Somehow they managed to create this stunning log cabin / treehouse structure in the middle of the Costa Rican jungle. The house sits into a mountain so the front door is level with the ground while the deck stands high above the ground and makes you feel like you are in a luxury treehouse, which is what we wanted in a home. When you open up the entire house (like many of the photos), it is a beauty to behold.  There were a few things that were a bit unexpected (possibly because of our newness to Costa Rica). The house was pretty hot and humid if we didn't open up all of the windows and doors. We decided to do this, and obviously received some new houseguests in the form of insects and lizards. Because of the creatures, and also to feel safe at night, we had to close up most of the house to sleep, which made it get hot again. There were two standing fans that made things feel better, but sleeping was a bit difficult until we got used to it.  The house is about 10 minutes up a rocky hill, so you definitely need a 4WD vehicle. We had one fortunately, so we made it to and from the house pretty easily, but it made it a definite trip to go to and from town. If you're looking to retreat for an entire day, this house is perfect. If you want to be involved in what's happening in town, then maybe this house is a bit off the beaten path for you.  We definitely enjoyed our time. Gideon was an awesome host and his go-between Thomas was extremely helpful. We didn't have a cell phone in Costa Rica and they still managed to get us into the house without much trouble. Thank you both for a wonderful stay!

We stayed at the jungle house for a couple of nights and had an amazing experience! The house is beautiful and spacious located just inside the jungle! It's gives you the real feel of CR jungle life and also located just 10 mins drive from the beach which means you can enjoy both worlds at the same time. Gideon was just great, he responded really quickly and on a short notice and coordinated our stay smoothly! If you want to have real jungle experience yet in a well facilitated house this is THE place! If you are not up to jungle sounds at night (for example very loud howler monkeys) and not really into spiders and geckos crawling around you, it might not be the place for you...

Words cannot express how much we enjoyed this rental. We truly loved the Caribbean Coast of Costa Rica, had a blast on our tours, but what we enjoyed the most was coming back to this home, kicking back on the hammock, listening to the sounds of the jungle.  If your budget allows, rent a 4wd to get back and forth. We did not but used the services of two wonderful taxi operators to get us back and forth. The walk out the road to the beach is much easier than the walk back in so we usually took a taxi back. We stayed for a month and don't regret any minute.

Gideon is a very honest and fair owner. He was very flexible with us and understanding.  The house is superb, so is the setting. It's a real 'jungle' house with all that entails. So you absolutely have to love nature and seclusion. It is also necessary to have a 4x4 to access it because the path (about 2 km) is difficult.

Gideon est un propriétaire très intègre et juste. Il s'est montré très flexible avec nous et compréhensif.  La maison est superbe, le cadre l'est aussi. C'est une vraie 'jungle' house avec tout ce que cela comporte. Il faut donc absolument aimer la nature et l'isolement. Il faut aussi disposer d'un 4x4 pour y accéder car le chemin (environ 2km) est difficile.

This "treehouse," as my daughter called it, was truly an experience to be remembered. Our family thoroughly enjoyed living in the jungle in this beautiful home for 5 nights. Surrounded by the sounds of nature, we were able to get a great feel for the Costa Rican jungle and enjoy the town and beaches of Puerto Viejo, which are only a 10 minute drive away. Property manager, Thomas, is an essential part of this jungle house experience. He set us up with great connections, people and food during our stay and made sure all our needs were met upon arrival. For those wanting an authentic, beautiful and healing experience, we highly recommend staying in Gideon's home.

Authentic jungle house. Immediately on arrival we spotted  white-faced capuchin monkeys swinging in the trees. We heard rather than saw Howler monkeys, but spotted many birds and butterflies. Facilities good but road in really requires a 4WD. Great place to chill for a couple of days and enjoy watching the wildlife from your balcony.

Jungle seclusion, monkeys frolicking in the back yard, 10 min drive down one road to a beautiful beach. An incredible stay.
