Reviews from Previous Renters: Brian The location is perfect. Not too far off the road, but far enough to minimize road noise and high enough in the hills to offer an excellent view of the national wetlands, Corcovado National Park peninsula, ocean, and Cano island in the distance. The 3 bedrooms are separated for privacy and have their own bathrooms. There's plenty of living room space and a well laid out kitchen if you prefer to cook. We spent most of our time on the covered porch or in the pool. That's where the view is. If you don't mind waking for sunrise, it's best to view the landscape within the pool. All the birds are at their busiest and most visible. On our first day, we saw 3 groups of 2 scarlet macaws that flew over the house and squawked in a nearby tree. Then multiple toucans and flocks of green parrots, all up close. The house is within an easy drive to great restaurants in Uvita and Dominical, 10 minutes from the golf course, and within minutes of several secluded or populated beaches. We saw a sunset at low tide on the Whale's Tale that lasted 45 minutes. That's something I'll never forget. I recommend a 4-wheel drive vehicle for travelling in the hills. Most roads are dirt and rock, and some get rutted with rain and use, but it's the easiest way to drive above sea level for those amazing views and to access excellent bars and restaurants. The pace of life is slower, people are extremely friendly and helpful, and most people will speak English and are patient when you try your rusty Spanish. I'll return one day to try new restaurants and see places I didn't have time to see. Terrione This place is absolutely perfect. The stay is one of the best ive ever been to. Very spacious. Super clean. They have everything you need to feel right at home. The view is so beautiful I couldn’t believe that had the pleasure of waking up to that over my stay. We were not far from the nearest town. The host provided details about everything that we could have possibly thought about. Beaches nearby, Zip lining tour just 5 minutes away. This is the place to be if you are going to Costa Rica and not staying in San Jose. I loved it. My girlfriend is super picky and she enjoyed it even more than I did. Sally This place is stunning, I would say better than the photos. We adored it, it was extremely peaceful and the birds were lovely to watch and listen to in the mornings. The view is outstanding and I felt utter happiness being there. The local town of Ojochal is our favourite place! Eat at citrus at least once! For anyone arriving, yes you do need a 4x4. The drive up to the villa is steep and not that fun in the dark when you first arrive but you soon get very used to it. All of the rooms are great sizes and loads of storage in the main bathroom. The villa is so well laid out, the pool is fantastic and was never cold! Beautiful sunsets, just heavenly. New aircon in bedroom Worked well. The washer and drier are great and a godsend! Honestly to anyone thinking of coming, come!!! We loved it so much we would return in a flash, this on the whole was fabulous. We stayed for 3 weeks and still have more to see! Pura Vida it is! Thank you for a beautiful stay.

**Brian**  
The location is ideal—not too far from the road to avoid noise, yet elevated enough to offer excellent views of the national wetlands, Corcovado National Park peninsula, ocean, and Caño Island. The three bedrooms are well separated for privacy, each with its own bathroom. There is ample living space and a well-designed kitchen for cooking. We spent most of our time on the covered porch or in the pool, where the view is best. Early mornings are perfect for watching wildlife, including scarlet macaws, toucans, and green parrots. The house is a short drive from great restaurants in Uvita and Dominical, a golf course, and several beaches. A 4WD vehicle is advisable due to dirt and rocky roads, especially after rain. The local pace is relaxed, people are friendly, and many speak English. I look forward to returning to explore more.

**Terrione**  
This villa is absolutely perfect and one of the best places I have stayed. It is very spacious and impeccably clean, with everything needed to feel at home. The views are stunning, and waking up to them was a pleasure. The property is close to town, and the host provided detailed information about nearby attractions, including a zip-lining tour just five minutes away. This is the ideal spot for visiting Costa Rica outside of San Jose. My girlfriend, who is quite particular, enjoyed it even more than I did.

**Sally**  
The villa exceeded my expectations and was even better than the photos. It was extremely peaceful, with lovely birds to watch and listen to in the mornings. The view is outstanding and brought me great happiness. The nearby town of Ojochal is a favorite, especially the Citrus restaurant. A 4WD vehicle is necessary as the steep drive to the villa can be challenging, especially at night, but you quickly get used to it. All rooms are generously sized with plenty of storage. The villa is well laid out, the pool is fantastic and never cold, and the sunsets are heavenly. The new air conditioning in the bedroom worked well, and the washer and dryer were very convenient. I highly recommend this property and would return in a heartbeat. We stayed for three weeks and still have more to explore. Pura Vida! Thank you for a wonderful stay.

Panoramic Sunsets and Cano Island Views - Houses for Rent in San Buena, Puntarenas Province, Costa Rica

Our stay at Villa Buen Trueno couldn’t have been better! We looked at so many Airbnb’s in Costa Rica before settling on this one. We’re so glad we did! Lu, the property manager, was so helpful. She answered questions about the house, the area and checked in with us periodically. The house and the pool are even better than the pictures. The location is fabulous. We can’t say enough great things about this house. We loved our stay!

Incredible!! We wish we could have stayed forever! The pool and views brought so much happiness to our family, we hope we can make it back to visit again someday. The location was perfect, out and away from the busier parts of town, and we saw a lot of wildlife - birds, toucans, macaws, dart frogs, lizards, "Walter" the iguana. They provided everything you could need from cooking meals to swimming in their home to concierge for planned activities and outings. We definitely left a piece of our hearts here.

An excellent place to vacation. The house is exactly as seen in the photos. The pool has stunning views and the whole house is very well equipped

Un excelente lugar para pasar las vacaciones. La casa es exactamente a como se ven en la fotos. La piscina tiene vistas impresionantes y toda la casa está muy bien equipada

We loved the area and the view was spectacular! Thankful to the manager Lu for checking in on us to make sure we were all set and confirming if we needed anything. The guides from Crispin and Kristen were perfect. First trip to Costa Rica and already want to plan a return trip

My husband and I were in need of some peace and relaxation and Villa Buen Trueno helped us accomplish that goal! You can’t beat the amazing patio and pool with the beautiful view! We spent most of our days there, eating our meals, reading books, playing games, and cooling off in the refreshing pool. We also enjoyed just watching all the variety of birds flying around the property. We could just sit for hours and take in the surrounding beauty. The kitchen was stocked well enough to cook many of our meals. However, this location has lots of great restaurants close by that we enjoyed—some with fantastic views and even monkeys who were playing nearby! Some nice beaches are close by as well! We spent the evenings in our bedroom watching TV on a laptop or playing games. We did so because it was too hot to stay in family room which had no air conditioning. The master bedroom was air conditioned. When we arrived, the other two bedrooms air conditioning was not working, but Lucr

A great stay in a lovely well maintained house. Beautifully clean and inviting. Lu was very helpful in accommodating a late check-in at night on Christmas Eve and took us up the steep hill in her own 4x4 for the last leg of the journey as ours wasn’t due to be delivered until the next day. A lovely quiet location with an excellent pool. The weather wasn’t great during our stay so sadly we didn’t get to experience the sunsets which would have been spectacular with the most perfect viewpoint. However we did get to see some great wildlife. Ojochal was our favourite small village with some very cute restaurants and a great deli, only a 20 minute drive away. A wonderful stay - thank you.

We stayed two weeks at Crispin and Kristen villa approximately 20 miles south of Uvita.  The villa was as advertised, Quite beautiful in an amazing setting.  During our stay we saw macaws,  lots of parrots, a couple of toucans who enjoyed the tree on the property, a poison dart frog that visited us daily , many other birds that we cannot name !  The pool was a must as it is very humid, thank goodness each bedroom had its own air conditioning.  Plenty of good restaurants in the area, we would shop at the BM grocery store in Uvita, that was convenient.   If you are looking for a Costa Rica stay outside of the usual tourist traps, this should be one of your options!

It was a beautiful villa in a fantastic location. We loved our stay in the house and in the pool. The view is so beautiful. We had contact with Lucretia (Lu) who was our first point of contact there. She helped us great with everything around our stay.

Het was een prachtige villa op een fantastische locatie. We hebben genoten van ons verblijf in het huis en in het zwembad. Het uitzicht is zo mooi. We hadden contact met Lucretia (Lu) die ons eerste aanspreekpunt daar was. Ze heeft ons geweldig geholpen met alles rondom ons verblijf.

This home was stunning! The view was so worth it. We had a few hiccups such as internet workers coming to the home, our air conditioning in the master bedroom went out our last two days, and we had to get creative in order to start the grill. Other than that the place was amazing and Lu, the property manager was quick to try and find solutions for the issues! She was very apologetic and sweet. There were tons of activities listed in a booklet that Lu provided us with! If you want a more private place away from people and places, this is the place to be! We had to drive approximately 30 minutes to find nicer restaurants which is not bad at all! Again, I cannot stress how amazing the view was and the pool was perfect for relaxing.

Great house with an amazing view. if you want to be far from the crowds and just relax, this is definitely the place. Regarding the house, fully equipped kitchen, great  pool to relax or/and swim, nice bedrooms each with own bathroom. We really enjoyed our stay. The only recommendation is to fix the internet, was not enough to work and have video calls, but they told me soon they  will install starlink so that should get it done.

A beautiful and quiet home. Everything was fine.

Amazing infinity pool with beautiful sunsets.  Lu the concierge is a legend.  The surrounding area is stunning with loads of great places to eat. Overall, a fantastic place to stay.

Wow, what an amazing place. We have used air bnb for years and this was our favorite place. We had the opportunity to spend Christmas there this year and it was the most well stocked home ever. I easily made Christmas dinner and dessert. Everything was spotless and every amenity provided. I have never seen a better sunset anywhere in the world. This is a very special place in a very special location. We hope to return again. If you have the chance to stay here don’t hesitate, you will love it! Thank you for sharing your special home with us.

This rental, has a great lap pool excellent for exercising in the early morning with the Scarlet Macaws, Green Parrots and Toucans flying over you. This was absolutely my favorite part. House is very well equipped.

We spent our last 4 days in Costa Rica in this amazing home. What a joy to enjoy its comfort in every detail (toilet linen and fluffy bath towels, very comfortable beds, large washing machine and large dryer...). The views are sublime, the environment rich in birds of all kinds. In short, happiness!!

Nous avons passé nos 4 derniers jours au Costa Rica dans cette incroyable maison. Quel bonheur de profiter de son confort dans les moindres détails (linge de toilette et serviettes de bain moelleuses, lits très confortables, grand lave linge et grand sèche linge…). La vue est sublime, l’environnement riche d’oiseaux en tous genres. Bref que du bonheur!!

First of all - the view was worth the drive up! WOW! We loved the outdoor space and infinity pool. The house was spacious and comfortably fit our family of 6. Having A/C in the bedrooms was a must for us and we all slept well thanks to having it. We loved the quiet and peaceful location and thought it was the perfect getaway while also being close enough to many great restaurants (Sebas, La Parcela, El Hornito & Heliconia) and activities. The kids enjoyed a surf lesson at Uvita Beach, we all ziplined at Osa Canopy and rode ATVs with Jungle ATV. Amazing! We planned our activities in the morning when the weather was best and then spent a lazy afternoon relaxing by the pool until it was time for dinner.  Highly recommend this house.

The house was absolutely amazing! The views are incredible. The pictures do not do it justice. We saw so many macaws and toucans. There’s many restaurants nearby and so many choices of activities. The hosts were fantastic and the property manager was excellent with recommendations. I highly recommend this place! We look forward to returning next year!

This place was even more amazing than the photos. The house is beautiful and surrounded by jungle. The view is insanely pretty and you'll see amazing animals everywhere. We spotted Tucans, Coati's and lots of birds in our garden. We even saw a poison dart frog. Be prepared to see a lot of animals. The pool is incredible too. We had an amazing bbq lunch on the table in the pool. It is definitely a difficult place to reach if you dont have a car and you definitely need a 4x4 in this area if you want to see cool jungly places. The house was spotless, it's the cleanest airbnb I've ever been in.

We were received very kindly by an employee. It was clean and everything in order. The pool is beautifully situated with magnificent views of Pacific Ocean. Everything worked on appliances. Everything well maintained and clean, as if it were cleaned every day also the little garden. You drip there like on a mountain and feel very safe with a secluded location. we can recommend this place to everyone, he wants to have their peace and quiet and relax, who likes to drive to find a good restaurant or supermarket in about 10-20 minutes. The driveway is steep and you need 4x4. There are many parrots and toucans on site:-) Everything was impeccable...

Wir wurden sehr freundlich von einer Mitarbeiterin empfangen. Es war sauber und alles geordnet. Der Pool wunderschön mit grandioser Aussicht auf den Pazifik. Alles funktionierte an Geräten. Alles top gepflegt und sauber, als würde jeden Tag geputzt werden auch der kleine Garten. Man trohnt dort wie auf einem Berg und ist ganz mit Alleinlage sehr sicheres Gefühl. wir können diese Unterkunft jedem empfehlen,d er seine Ruhe haben will und sich erholen, der gerne Auto fährt um in ca. 10-20 Min. ein gutes Restaurant oder Supermarkt zu finden. Die Auffahrt ist steil und man braucht 4x4. Es sind dort viele Papageien und Tukane vor Ort:-) Alles war einwandfrei...

We had a great week at this home. The highlights are easily the fantastic setting and views from the home and the wonderful pool. It is a solid four hour drive from the airport which can be tiring, but once you arrive it’s all worth it. There are many activities within a short drive to enjoy and lots of restaurants as well. We chose to eat many meals at the house to enjoy the wonderful sunsets and view. The kitchen is well equipped to prepare meals and the BM grocery store in Uvita has everything you need. Air conditioning in the bedrooms was needed as it was very hot and humid during our visit. The central room with the kitchen can get quite warm, but has the possibility of cross breezes, although we didn’t benefit much from them during our stay. We were a family of four with two teenagers and everyone loved the place and we really miss the pool, the views, and all the beautiful flora and fauna!

This place is amazing, just book it! The pictures and description do not do it justice. Felt like we hit the jackpot with this house. The view is the absolute best part (on both sides of the house) followed by the birds in the morning - parrots, toucans, parakeets, hummingbirds and tons more. It was easy to find and get to, and Lu, the property manager, is super helpful and communicative. We traveled with two kids and they couldn't stay out of the pool. Everything is close by but it is hard to want to leave the house as it is so peaceful. The internet was flawless but we did not have cell reception at the house - we figured out that just a quick walk down the road past the house provided great reception for the couple of times that we needed it. Beds were comfortable and the kitchen had everything that we needed. We really didn't want to leave and hope that we can come back another time! Thanks for letting us stay!

This house was every bit as beautiful as the pictures. The views are amazing. It was the perfect stay for our little group. It is a 4 hour drive from San Jose, but we absolutely loved this part of Costa Rica. The hosts were very responsive and helpful. We enjoyed cooking and just relaxing. But I think one of our favorite things was sitting in the pool each evening, watching the glorious sunset. It’s very close to shops and restaurants, with plenty to do in the area. I wish we could’ve stayed longer.

It's the VIEW for me! Picturesque views from all sides of the home. Peaceful property up in the hills with the amazing view of the ocean from the wonderful pool and the view of the countryside from the other side of the home!  The communication with Lu was top notch. Be sure to slow down driving when near the property--we were so excited, we drove right past our turn to go up the hill and cell service is spotty in this more remote area in South CR until you get inside with WiFi. The WiFi was amazing--two adults and three children all logged in at times. We highly recommend hiring a chef for a welcome meal and drinks or healthy breakfast. Also, the Pizza/Bagel place and nearby Cafes in Uvita were super chill with delicious offerings. Overall perfect 10s across the board. THE VIEW IS PRICELESS!!!

The views down the river valley to the ocean and the views the other direction to the mountains were awesome.  Beautiful birds and insects galore.

Villa Buen Trueno has the most amazing view. I had the most relaxing stay. Lu the property manager, as well was the hosts, Crispin & Kristen was so welcoming. They provided all the needed information for this stay. The masseuse Nery was amazing. Chef Francis cooked for us all day on Sunday, and the meals were great. The pictures does not give the view justices. The villa is exactly as pictured. Please be mindful that your are high above the jungle, so phone service can be spotty even when connected to wifi. We rented a 4x4 in San Jose at Adobe. A pretty smooth process. Just be conscientious of the hold that will be held on your credit card. A 4X4 is needed for the area and to get to the Villa. My first international stay and first time driving in another country. I will have to say it was not bad at all. Pura Vida!

This is by far the best Airbnb experience I done had. Everything was perfect from the view to the spacious and natural environment. My party enjoy everything about the Airbnb. AC work great and the place was clean!! Crispin, Kristen and Lu were amazing and made us all feel very welcomed. We felt safe and excluded which was definitely a plus. Don’t think JUST BOOK!!! We will certainly be back real soon. 20/20!!

This is a pretty amazing house! The views every sunrise and sunset are amazing. The kitchen is fully stacked and the place is super clean and well kept. Very close to nice beaches and attractions! Bring your 4x4 and get ready for an adventure! Lovely place!

This property is absolutely magical. This was not our first time staying in the area, but Crispin and Kristen’s house exceeded all expectations. The best part, of course, were the sweeping views on both sides of the fence, the beautiful pool, and visits from all the wildlife. In six days, we saw countless macaws, toucans, and other birds; we enjoyed daily visits from a family of hungry agoutis who could not get enough of the fruit that fell from the tree on the southeastern side of the property; we met a juvenile coati, a troop of squirrel monkeys, tree frogs, butterflies, and more. As far as food goes, we can highly recommend Indomitos in Uvita. The coffee shop Tagua in the same street is also a must. We preferred grocery shopping in Uvita to the BM in Palmar Norte with respect to selection, particularly for vegan needs. Activities: we travel with our three kids (all teenagers), but we have loved doing Nauyaca Falls on foot since they were younger. It’s a six mile hike round trip, but well worth it. Pavones is another nice waterfall in Ohochal which is right off the road. Favorite beaches are Ventanas (especially early before the crowds arrive) and Playa Hermosa any time of day. Highly recommend Raby from Sierpe Frogs if you want to explore the Sierpe River or go frogging in the jungle (day or night). He also does day trips to Corcovado, but we did not do this, so I cannot write about it. In the past, we also enjoyed a tour of Alturas Animal Rescue in Dominical and hiking in Hacienda Baru. The house itself also provided hours of fun between the pool, the patio, and the beautiful indoor spaces. We cannot recommend this property enough for anyone looking for someplace that truly feels like a fairy tale.

Perfect house! Really big, the outdoor area is one of the best we’ve seen. The private suite near the pool is really nice and completely apart from the house. The view is spectacular and it shows that this house is well maintained and that the owners use it for themselves because of all the little details like really nice appliances and furniture. We definitely would come back!

Views from all around the house were stunning, pool and pool bar was the perfect hang out spot for us couples. The house had everything you need plus some. Every morning we were surrounded by so many different birds and wildlife. We discovered all kinds of animals right from the pool deck area that we would have never expected but enjoyed so much. Within quick drive to beaches, but is a solid 3.5 hour drive from San Jose airport. The driveway is no joke, straight upwards and rocky so 4x4 is necessary. Watch out for scorpions in towels and such outside!

Prepare to be awed. Neither the pictures nor the description does it justice. If you’re looking for an escape from the hustle and bustle, this is the place. You get sunsets over the Pacific and sunrises over the mountains, the tranquility of the infinity pool over the valley below; you couldn’t ask for more. The home is well equipped, immaculately clean, and well managed. Everything is thoughtfully outfitted, from a sparkling pool with a swim-up bar to super-fast Wi-Fi and a chef’s kitchen. Check-in is easy, and property management is personable, knowledgeable, and available. If you want a private space, stay in the pool cabana that’s well-appointed and offers a view over the valley below and the Pacific in the distance you have to see to believe. What a fantastic place to enjoy the stunning beauty of Costa Rica.

This villa is absolute perfection! Amazing view, pool, everything. We would love to stay here again! It is paradise!

The property, location, and hospitality were just AMAZING!! The property has spectacular views all the way around and the views out the back overlooking the infinity pool are absolutely stunning. The house itself has a great layout, each bedroom has its own bathroom (including the pool house bedroom) and the kitchen, dining, and living area is all open concept great for gathering. The pool has a very nice feature which is a table for eating and we found ourselves eating most of our meals at the pool enjoying the breathtaking views of the jungle, ocean, and Cano Island along with all the wildlife. The drive from San Jose airport is approximately 3.5 hours and this property is worth every minute of the drive, besides the drive is very scenic and follows the coastline most of the way. Highly Recommended!!!

Fantastic location, best view and the pool is the icing on the top! Very comfortable and we loved all the wildlife we saw just right outside the door!

This place was an 11/10! The property is even better than the pictures. An amazing view with lots of open space to enjoy the incredible surrounding nature. The decor and ammenties far exceeded our expectations. The pool was huge! The sunsets there were extraordinary! If you’re considering booking this property- do it!!! You won’t be disappointed. Thanks to the hosts, we will be back!

The whole family thoroughly enjoyed the beautiful views of the ocean and the treetops which allow us to see an extraordinary amount of bird . If you want to blend with the Tico families, visit the small villages of Cortes and Palma North. Thank you for hosting us !

Toute la famille a grandement apprécié la vue magnifique sur l’océan et sur la cime des arbres qui nous permet d’observer une quantité extraordinaire d’oiseau . Si vous avez envie de vous fondre dans les familles Tico, visiter les petites villages de Cortes et Palma North. Merci pour l’accueil !

We had an enchanting stay at this wonderful dream home, and wish we were still there! It was the best of both worlds, with the luxury of a modern home set on a hill in the jungles. We spent a lot of time in the magical infinity pool, listening to the birds, frogs, and insects sing, watching sunsets over the Pacific Ocean, away from the noise of city life. We even enjoyed the amazing thunderstorms at night. We went down the hill to shop at the BM Palmer Norte grocery store a couple of times, and made a few meals in the well-equipped kitchen. The 2 to 3 minute drive up the hill from the main road was part of the adventure, so make sure you switch to 4-wheel drive mode for that. As Crispin and Kristen's well-documented guide explains, there are many adventures to be had in the area, and far fewer tourists than most of Costa Rica. One of our highlights was the Osa Canopy Tour for ziplining the jungles and then doing a tour of the mangroves. Their office is only 10 minutes away. Also went to Corcovado National Park for some sea kayaking near Puerto Jimenez. We can't wait to go back!

This house is fun, modern and perfectly located. The concierge team was great, very responsive and all the suggestionswe got in the house guide were amazing! We even booked a in home massage and it was a wonderful way to celebrate our anniversary. The view is spectacular, you can see Caño island and enjoy the sunset poolside. Highly recommend!
