Jennifer and her staff are great hosts, very responsive and helpful. I would give working with them a 4.5. My friend set up prior birthday decorations and a cake for me and they completely took care of that and did a wonderful job. I was surprised and pleased. We also set up massages through them and had a great time. The house itself as a group we agreed to rate a 3. We had unexpected water issues that resulted in the host accommodating us to the beach house and castle which we greatly appreciated. The Castle was absolutely fantastic and we all LOVED it. We got great pictures and 10/10 experience. Although we had issues with our house, it did feel very homey and we enjoyed the pool, the views, the connivence to a market down the hill and a few restaurants near by. We were able to easily move around to the other properties and staff were always available to help us out.

Excelente: La casa, aposentos, aire en cuartos, agua caliente, equipamiento, vista y parqueo. Bueno: Locación, internet y piscina. Regular: Pantallas y comunicación con anfitrión. Malo: Ciertas goteras, se iba la luz en ocasiones. Terrible: Se fue el agua desde el día 2 en la noche y no volvió. Nos fuimos el día 4. Resumen: El lugar es muy bueno, pero sin agua desde el día 2 ya la experiencia en general se califica como negativa ante la ausencia de uno de los servicios más básicos y del cual no obtuvimos solución.

We had a wonderful month at Hilltop House. We enjoyed all of the wildlife. There are beautiful scarlet macaw that roost in the neighborhood and watching them fly by every morning and evening was a highlight. Iguana antics are sure to amuse the kids. Watching the wacky Toucan fight with his reflection was hilarious, but best by far were the daily visits from the sweetest neighborhood dog you will ever meet. Everyone was always excited to see Chloe. We all laughed so hard when she started chasing cows down the street. Our favorite part about the house was the pool and we spent 80% of our waking hours swimming or working poolside. We did have a few mechanical things fail while we were there. We didn't have internet for the first few days, and the power occasionally went out in the neighborhood, but these things are par for the course in Costa Rica. The dirt road to the house is very rough/steep. It is manageable with a 2-wheel drive, but not ideal. Very safe neighborhood!

You can’t beat the views, sunrises, animals from the top deck. Monkeys, toucans, macaws, etc. We saw turtles on the beach, sloths, etc. The pool was awesome, super refreshing multiple times a day. We didn’t have a car for much of our time there (2 months) and didn’t mind walking all over, even to the bus stop on the highway multiple times to go to Jaco or Quepos, etc. You can get Ubers there as well that come from Jaco. Don’t be afraid to try the homemade tamales from the lady who has a hole in the wall shop behind the super sol. They are awesome! Pura vida! Thanks again!!

This is a great place to stay. Plenty of birds in the morning to sit on the upper deck with a cup of coffee each morning. Manuel Antonio and other places are 1 hour away. This is a great place for a large group that wants a place that’s a bit off the beaten path.

Great house and location. Great place for multiple groups with 2 kitchens. The pool is great, one of the few pools in my stays in Costa Rica where it's deep at one end. The 3rd floor observation deck is great for bird watch and relaxing. There's a Toucan that comes by almost nightly. Lots of other wildlife to see as well. Short walk to the beach and restaurants.

The house is perfect for sharing a vacation with friends and family, awesome 360 lookout with beautiful views. The pool is fantastic, definitely deep, but our 2 year old had no problem enjoying it with his floaties on. Conveniently located down the hill was a great little grocery store, restaurants, and of course, the ocean with a lovely beach. We would definitely stay here again.

This house had a great location and beautiful top deck. The view from the top was absolutely stunning, we saw many monkeys and toucans. The walk down to the beach was short and safe. The house was clean and felt very safe. Great for families.
