UNIQUE 2 BEDROOM HOUSE WITH POOL & OCEAN VIEW-NEW! - Houses for Rent in  Home in Pinilla, Provincia de Guanacaste, Costa Rica

The stay was a wonderful experience. Francisco, the manager, was very kind, communicated proactively, and gave us clear instructions. Also, they gave us the opportunity to check in early. The place is great. Yes, a 4x4 or an SUV is better since it's in the middle of the mountain. If you are looking for a beautiful place but away from the noise, surrounded by monkeys, this is the place to be. Avellanas Beach is nearby. You can go to Junquillal, Playa Blanca, Playa Callejones, and if you're looking for a good spot for the sunset, go to the viewpoint between Playa Blanca and Calmejones. The house is impeccable, tidy and very well equipped. We would gladly stay here again.

El hospedaje ha sido una maravillosa experiencia. Francisco, el administrador, fue muy gentil, se comunicó con iniciativa y nos dio claras indicaciones. Además, nos dieron la oportunidad de ingresar antes de la hora. El lugar es genial, sí es mejor un 4x4 o un suv ya que es en medio de la montaña. Si buscan un lugar hermoso pero lejos del ruido, en medio de los monos, este es el lugar ideal. Cerca está playa Avellanas. Se puede ir a Junquillal, Playa blanca, playa callejones y si buscan un buen spot para el atardecer, vayan al mirador entre playa blanca y calmejones. La casa impecable, ordenada y muy biem equipada. Con gusto volveríamos a hospedarnos aquí.

Everything is very nice. The views are beautiful.

The house is very nice, comfortable and very well equipped. Everything was spotlessly clean, and you can see the care they put into every detail of the cleaning. It's very easy to access and the location is excellent: perfect for relaxing and resting, but at the same time close to several beaches and places to visit. The hosts were always very attentive, friendly and helpful, making sure our stay was as pleasant as possible. We would definitely recommend this place and would stay here again. Thank you so much for the excellent experience!

La casa es muy linda, cómoda y está muy bien equipada. Todo se encontraba impecablemente limpio y se nota el cuidado que ponen en cada detalle del aseo. El acceso es muy fácil y la ubicación es excelente: perfecta para desconectarse y descansar, pero al mismo tiempo cerca de varias playas y lugares para visitar. Los anfitriones fueron siempre muy atentos, amables y serviciales, pendientes de que nuestra estancia fuera lo más agradable posible. Sin duda recomendamos este alojamiento y volveríamos a hospedarnos aquí. ¡Muchas gracias por la excelente experiencia!

Noras’s place was so beautiful and we really enjoyed our stay. I look forward to booking our next stay here again! Very remote location but the view and sounds of the area are beyond me! 10/10 Definitely will need some type of SUV tho!

Excellent place, a very well-equipped and very private house. With a good location to explore nearby places

Excelente lugar, una casa sumamente equipada y muy privada. Con una buena ubicación para conocer lugares cercanos

The place itself is really great just two things I can knock it on. First, it is very very isolated and located far away from Tamarindo. It’s at least 30 minutes to get there. You will also need a 4WD vehicle as there’s a very long stretch of dirt roads to reach the house. Second, there were a lot of bugs. Ants all over the kitchen, spiders on the walls, wasps all over the pool and deck area. I killed four scorpions during my stay here. Neither of these things knock how beautiful the property itself is, but it did impact my stay. Francisco was very helpful and responsive and we still had a great time.

Our stay was simply excellent. From the very beginning, we loved the privacy of the place, which made the experience even more special and relaxing. The Airbnb is superbly equipped, with everything you need to enjoy a worry-free stay, and you can tell that every detail has been thought out for guests' comfort. It definitely exceeded our expectations. We had a very pleasant experience and would definitely come back. Highly recommended!

Nuestra estadía fue simplemente excelente. Desde el primer momento nos encantó la privacidad del lugar, lo cual hizo que la experiencia fuera aún más especial y relajante. El Airbnb está súper bien equipado, con todo lo necesario para disfrutar sin preocupaciones, y cada detalle se nota que está pensado para la comodidad de los huéspedes. Definitivamente superó nuestras expectativas. Nos llevamos una experiencia muy bonita y sin duda volveríamos. ¡Totalmente recomendado!

A little slice of heaven if you love nature, monkeys, squirrels, and birds. The house is as described in every way. Make sure you have a good car and don't forget anything, because it takes 25 minutes to get to Tamarindo.

Un petit coin de Paradis si on aime la nature ,les singes les écureuils et les oiseaux La maison correspond en tout point à la description. Prévoyez une bonne voiture et ne rien oublier car il faut 25 min pour rejoindre TAMARINDO.

Nora’s place is amazing! It’s located about 30 minutes from Tamarindo, offering a quiet and peaceful atmosphere with no neighbors, yet we still felt very safe. The instructions were clear, and the house was spotless. It comfortably fits a group of four. The pool and views are absolutely stunning, and the kitchen is fully equipped with everything you need. Highly recommended!

Good value and an incredible view for an extra fee. Monkeys when you wake up!

Bon rapport qualité-prix et vu incroyable avec supplément singes au réveil !

Nora’s home is a beautifully secluded oasis that sits on a high hilltop with incredible views of the surrounding forest and the ocean in the distance. The home is safely protected that is clean and modernized with ample space, comfortable furniture with plenty of kitchenware and all your bathroom needs (The master king bed was exceptionally comfortable!). The outdoor pool and deck area was perfect for a relaxing sunrise/sunset or listening to the howler monkeys! Be aware that leaves/bulbs from surrounding trees easily fall into the pool but a cleaning skimmer is provided and they do offer a pool cleaning option. A short 15-20 minute drive to Tamarindo but a 4x4 vehicle is needed as the dirt road and driveway can be uneven/bumpy but nothing out of the ordinary for a typical Central/South American home.  Francisco was incredibly helpful and attentive during our stay. Anything you need, he’ll communicate and respond right away. I can’t recommend this place enough! PURA VIDA!

Remote location so you need a car but a short drive to get to town and other areas. The roads are a bit rough so a SUV would be best. The view from the patio each morning and evening are breathtaking.. the nature surrounding you is beautiful and the howling monkeys are a great alarm clock in the morning . I recommend this house is you are looking to unwind, relax and want a quiet retreat

Great place to stay and enjoy all nature in Guanacaste.

Where do I begin….
Francisco was amazing. Very communicative and flexible. 
Gorgeous house and the pool is divine. Well equipped for cooking, beach days, and relaxation. Everything you could need. 
It doesn’t get better. Pura vida! :)

The house is the same as the photos . Private, modern. The only thing is that the place is far from the beach, you can only go by car

La casa es igual a las fotos . Privada , moderna . Lo único es el lugar que está largo de la playa , solo en carro se puede ir

Excellent hosts, I recommend them for their kindness. Beautiful accommodation and spectacular area

Excelentes anfitriones, los recomiendo por su amabilidad. Alojamiento lindisimo y la zona espectacular

I want to start by thanking Francisco first. A super, super host, friendly, attentive to everything, he responds immediately and above all he helped us a lot. He took us to the place and gave us all the instructions. The place, from the moment you enter, you feel enchanted, you breathe peace, tranquility and a warmth of home It's the first Airbnb that has absolutely everything you need in the kitchen, utensils, pots and pans (like being at home) The beds and the beautiful bathrooms Excellent cleanliness, everything was very comfortable, the decoration was simple and beautiful. I would go back without thinking twice, for those who want a place to rest, get away from the noise and see nature, I recommend it. Thank you Francisco, (he was like an angel) his help with a problem with our car was immediate. Thank you thank you thank you

Quiero primero iniciar dando las gracias a Francisco. un super, super anfitrión, amable, atento a todo responde de inmediato y sobre todo nos ayudó mucho. Nos llevó hasta el lugar y nos dio todas las instrucciones. El lugar desde que entras te sientes hechizado se respira paz, tranquilidad y una calidez de hogar Es el primer Airbnb que tiene absolutamente todo lo necesario en la cocina, utensilios, ollas sartenes (como estar en casa) Los curtos y los baños hermosos La limpieza excelente, todo muy acomodado la decoración sencilla y hermosa. Volvería sin pensarlo dos veces, para aquellos que quieren un lugar para descansar, alejarse del ruido ver naturaleza se los recomiendo. Gracias Francisco, (fue como un angel) su ayuda con un problema con nuestro carro fue inmediata. Gracias, gracias, gracias.

The house 🏡 is charming and has a wonderful deck and nice pool. The best is its location and view. It’s a little (hidden) paradise. We communicated with Francisco and he was always nice, helpful and responsive.

Was an amazing experience and Beautiful scenery couldn’t ask for anything better !!!!

the house was very beautiful and private,  the view was amazing. We really recommend having an SUV or an 4x4 car to get to this property

Francisco was very nice & helpful from the beginning. If I had any questions or problems, I could easily contact him via WA and received an immediate response. The place was a 10/10 with everything around it. Highly recommend it to anyone!

Francisco war von Anfang an sehr nett & hilfsbereit. Bei Fragen & Problemen konnte ich ihn simpel per WA kontaktieren und erhielt umgehend eine Antwort. Die Unterkunft war eine 10/10 mit allem drumherum. Kann ich jedem nur weiterempfehlen!

It’s a beautiful home ; but the host wanted us to pay 100 dollars for every trip we wanted to take (his taxi man) . Do not recommended staying here for 7 days maybe 2 ! Gets boring .

This clients weren’t prepared at all. On our house description it says a 4x4 car is needed they arrived without a car, since then problems begun, complained about everything, left the house really dirty, broken house key. Not a good experience.

I had a fantastic stay at the Airbnb! The location is a bit remote, as mentioned in the description, but with an SUV or 4x4, it was absolutely manageable, and the journey added to the adventure. Once you arrive, the breathtaking view makes it all worthwhile—truly stunning and perfect for unwinding in nature. The house itself is incredibly well-equipped, with everything you could possibly need for a comfortable and enjoyable stay. From the kitchen to the cozy living spaces, every detail has been thought of to ensure a perfect experience. The pool was a highlight—clean, refreshing, and a great spot to relax after a day of exploring. Speaking of cleanliness, the entire place was spotless, which made our stay even more pleasant. Francisco was incredibly kind and accommodating, offering us an early check-in and late check-out, which made our trip so much more relaxing. I also appreciated the thoughtful touches, like the clear instructions provided by the host and the peaceful atmosphere

Had an amazing time, the place is beautiful and peaceful.

Excellent spot for a private getaway in the Pinilla Highlands, a must stay!

We were thankful that Francisco coordinated another night stay for us on short notice, when our flight was delayed

The property was beautifully decorated, exceptionally clean, and offered all the amenities needed for a comfortable stay. While the dishwasher wasn’t working during our stay, it didn’t take away from our overall enjoyment of the property. Our flight was delayed and we were thankful that Francisco coordinated another night’s stay on short notice The view was absolutely stunning, and we loved hearing the howler monkeys nearby—such a unique and immersive experience! Just a heads-up: the road to the Airbnb is quite rough, so I’d definitely recommend renting an SUV to make the drive more comfortable.

Remote but less than a 30 minute drive from the beach at Tamarindo. Playa Negra & Playa Avellanas are the closest beaches.. about a ten to fifteen minute drive. Walking out in the morning and watching the howler monkeys was quite the experience. Beautiful & serene scenery. Very safe and the host could not have been more responsive. We had a great time!

Second time we went into this house with beautiful sea views and local wildlife. Francisco was a great host. Very nice stay! Thanks!

Deuxième fois que nous allions dans cette maison avec une vue magnifique sur la mer et la faune locale. Francisco a été un hôte hors pair. Séjour très agréable! Merci!

Beautiful location. Francisco told us where to meet him so we could follow him up the rough roads the first time . He gave is a pin drop location we could use to navigate back to the house after our first few outings. The kitchen is great for cooking any meal and the house is spacious.

The host was fantastic with excellent communication throughout our stay. The host was very accommodating when we accidentally went to the wrong meeting spot and even recommended a grocery store nearby, waiting patiently while we picked up essentials. Getting to the property was definitely an adventure.  I’d recommend an SUV or AWD vehicle! Once there, we found a clean and well-equipped space with everything we needed, especially the cookware. The views were breathtaking, and we even got to hear and occasionally see monkeys nearby, which was a fun experience. Unfortunately, we visited during the rainy season, so we couldn’t enjoy the pool, but the overall experience was fantastic. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a unique and adventurous stay!

The house is very nice but it is very far from the beach, it is literally on a mountain, they don't explain that well.

The Airbnb was well placed where you can have your own privacy and not deal with neighbors. It was very peaceful and nonetheless beautiful. The beaches were close by and there were so many restaurants nearby. The host is very quick and responding and offering great recommendations. I will definitely book here again if I’m ever back in tamarindo.

A wonderful stay, Fran our host, always super attentive and willing to help us, we will certainly come back!

Una estadía maravillosa, Fran nuestro host, siempre super atento y dispuesto a ayudarnos, sin duda volveremos!

Our host, Francisco, was more than amazing! He was very responsive, allowed us to check in a bit earlier and even met up with us to guide us to the house. He gave us a tour of the home and answered all questions and concerns. Francisco was able to recommend us a great car company (you’ll definitely need a 4x4 car, if you don’t want to stay in the house only). He also gave us great recommendations around the area. The house was beautiful with breathtaking views. Very peaceful, private and quiet area. We unfortunately did not get to see the monkeys, but I think I heard them my last day there! Experience was exceptional overall, definitely recommend this place (specially if you’re a nature person!).

Jordan was an amazing host he was helping us with all our needs couldn’t not thank him more thank you  again for hosting us

The house is very well equipped, the inside of the house is beautiful. The pool and its size is great for kids and adults. You manage to get nature , tranquillity and warmth and enjoy good beaches.

La casa está muy bien equipada, el interior de la casa es hermoso. La piscina y su tamaño está muy bien para niños y adultos. Logras conseguir naturaleza , tranquilidad y el calor y disfrute de buenas playas.

Highly recommended. Super private and safe. Beautiful views and full of wildlife. Simply great.

Muy recomendable. Super privado y seguro. Lindas vistas y lleno de fauna. Simplemente genial.

Nice house and in a remote place, if you go with company it is great but to be alone ever since there is no one nearby…. Everything super good…

Casa bonita y en lugar alejado, si vas con compañía está genial pero para estar sola jamás ya que no hay nadie cerca…. Todo súper bien…

My host was Jordan and he was great at communicating with us. He met us at the property and went over several things about the house. Provided me with many things to do in the area and places to eat. The house is beautiful and would stay there again. My husband and I celebrated our 9th anniversary and the best part were the howler monkeys. They came out and gave us a show and we captured on video. The view does no justice on the pictures, you have to be there to appreciate it. Thank you Jordan! Pura Vida!!

We had a great stay at this place. So much amazing wildlife around the house to watch. The pool and view is gorgeous and surrounding beaches were amazing. This location is very private but an easy drive to everything around you. House is well equipped with everything you need, clean. Would definitely return.

We had an amazing stay! The only minor inconvenience is that the dishwasher did not work, so we had to wash the dishes by hand. Fortunately enough, we are used to not having dishwashers back at home so this did not feel like a task, but some people might be disappointed with this issue. However, one of the host quickly got back to us (the same day we sent the message) and even came at the house to assess the problem. They were very understanding and responsive. Otherwise, everything was clean, they even provided us with beach towels for the pool, binoculars, and others so that we could enjoy our stay to the fullest.

The place was amazing. Very private and so relaxing. The giant windows look over a perfect view.

Absolutely loved the house. It really felt like home. It’s fairly close to the grocery mart and Tamarindo is a short drive away. The sunsets were incredible and you can see all the way to the ocean. It was just an overall amazing experience. If you want a private place in the jungle within a short drive of pretty much everything in the area I would absolutely recommend staying here.

We enjoyed our stay. The home was in a very private location. Very relaxing. Great view and beautiful sunsets. The only cons are that the water pressure was low, the automatic dishwasher did not work (maybe due to low water pressure), and the pool had many hornets and wasps around it. Overall it is a very good and well equipped house in a very private location. Recommend it.

Perfect place. Jordan really welcomed us and gave us info about the surrounding area. Very, very clean and believe me, I'm very picky about it. Very quiet place, secluded and conducive to relaxation. Have a good vehicle to get there. I recommend 110%.

Endroit parfait. Jordan nous a super bien accueillis et nous a donné des infos sur les environs. Très, très propre et croyez-moi, je suis très pointilleuse à ce sujet. Endroit très calme, isolé et propice à la détente. Avoir un bon véhicule pour vous y rendre. Je recommande à 110%.

We loved our stay here! It was perfect for a girls trip. It was definitely off the beaten path and a high clearance vehicle was a good choice, but we loved the privacy and the view is unmatched! We highly recommend the beach just down the road Playa Avellanas, eat at La Purruja, and enjoy the sunset! The house is a short drive to all the best beaches and Tamarindo. The house had everything we needed. It was comfortable and safe, even saw lots of fun wildlife and bugs in the forest outside. The pool was clean. The host Jordan was super responsive and helpful, even when we had to reach out at late at night. Our only qualm was the shower heads. I know high water pressure is not to be expected that rural, but it’s almost impossible to wash hair with the rain style shower heads with low pressure. But even then, everything else was phenomenal. Definitely tops my list as one of my favorite stays! Highly recommend!

Amazing, if you’re planning a trip to tamarindo, stay here. Close to some local beach towns with great surfing and restaurants (playa avalaya, & villa real) close to tamarindo if you want that night life and in the mountains with a great view if you want the privacy, clean and comfortable

A simple but beautiful house surrounded by nature in a very calm environment. The location is a bit distant from the beach (about 30min from Tamarindo), but the view and ambiance are worth the remote access. The general interior design as well as the amenities are really nice, it almost feel like home. Thanks for the responsiveness during the stay!

Just have to say this stay was absolutely amazing. The house was absolutely perfect ! Could not have asked for a better place very private gated yard , outside pool was amazing specially getting to watch all the animals getting to relax and watch the sunsets and even under the stars at night was epic. The monkey and wildlife was one of the best experiences since we’ve been here! Jordan our host was outstanding with all the information he provided and was always right there when we needed even with the windstorm we had one night! We came from Alaska and this exceeded all our expectations! Just want to say thank you soooo very much for the amazing experience ! Valerie & Trever Ellen & Jeff

Very nice house We were lucky to have a family of monkeys next to the house Loved our stay Thanks for everything!

Très belle maison Nous avons eu la chance d’avoir une famille de singes à côté de la maison Nous avons adoré notre séjour Merci pour tout!

The place is very cute, has a perfect size pool. If I had to have some “but” it's that there are too many wasps around, then it's tricky to be quiet in the pool without feeling like they're going to bite you, outside of that, it's an amazing place. Communication with Nora was always 10/10

El lugar es muy lindo, tiene una piscina de tamaño perfecto. Si tuviera que tener algún “pero” es que hay alrededor demasiadas avispas, entonces es complicado estar tranquilo en la piscina sin sentir que te van a picar, fuera de eso, es un lugar increíble. La comunicación con Nora siempre fue 10/10

Great place, very peaceful and secluded. The sunset looks beautiful from the property and the house amenities including the pool were all great. Short drive to Playa Avellanas and close to other towns like Tamarindo as well.

Our stay at this beautiful home was outstanding! Very helpful host, and we appreciated the thoughtful recommendations for the area. Highly recommend!

The house is beautiful, seems like a new build, and has a great view. There is a family or troop of howler monkeys living in the trees right outside, and it was cool to watch them during the day. The location is very private and peaceful, and about 30-60 min away from other activities. We lounged by the pool a lot, and Jordan brought us new chairs when the current ones were broken. HiR Fine Dining is just down the road though, and we would recommend checking it out!! Communication with the host was our biggest complaint. Prior to the trip I had to message multiple times before getting a response, and once arriving it was much the same. There were no check out/in instructions, and Jordan went hours/a day between my messages. The pool crew showed up one day with no notice. My husband and I are self-sufficient, and don’t need much support from a host, but I do wish communication had been more prompt when we needed it.

Everything was perfect. Nora and Jordan are great hosts. The place was so private with incredible views. Howler monkeys, hawks, and even a friendly dog visited us almost every day. 5 stars across the board.

One of the most beautiful places we have stayed... away, quiet and an excellent view, plus the most fenced beach is 10 minutes away where you can see the sunsets spectacularly Jordan was always attentive and gave us good recommendations to do, I 100% recommend the place!!

Unos de los lugares más hermosos en que nos hemos hospedado… alejado, tranquilo y una excelente vista además que la playa más cercada está a 10 minutos donde se puede ver espectacularmente los atardeceres Jordan siempre atento y nos brindó buenas recomendaciones de que hacer, recomiendo 100% el lugar!!

Amazing stay, place, surroundings and nature. The dogs from the neighborhood wellness retreat came to visit often (Nacho and Cheriff) and we fell in love with them. Monkeys were our alarm clock and the host was responsive and also provided a hair dryer upon request. True relaxation and adventurous and fun drive up to the AirBnB. Worth every penny! Thank you.

The house is amazing! Exactly like on the pictures! You are in the forest listening only animals! We left this place relaxed and happy. I totally recommend this place 🙏☺️

Beautiful place! We would definitely come back ❤️

¡Hermoso lugar! Definitivamente volveríamos ❤️

A very nice stay. The house is very beautiful and the place is super quiet. 100% recommended

Una estadía muy bonita. La casa es muy hermosa y el lugar es super tranquilo. Recomendado cien por ciento

The property itself is beautiful; tastefully decorated with a tropical vibe that immediately puts you in the vacation mindset. Comfortable beds, a well-equipped kitchen, and a spacious living area made us feel right at home.

This home was beautiful and remote but very close to Playa Avellanas, which was a beautiful beach. The views from the back porch were gorgeous and as other reviewers mentioned there is a family of howler monkeys in the trees on the property. The road up is bumpy and rough but easy to navigate and drive, we did have a 4x4 suv. The home was clean and again the views were incredible! Jordan met us for check in and was so kind and gave us lots of local recommendations.

We had a great time and can’t wait to come back

Excellent place to relax ! Great view and a ride away from the beach

A Delightful Airbnb Experience! From the moment we arrived, we were greeted by a warm and welcoming ambiance that instantly made us feel at home – hats off to Jordan! The house was thoughtfully furnished with great attention to detail. The backyard, surrounded by the beauty of nature, provided a serene environment, perfect for my morning yoga sessions. We were thrilled to hear and see howler monkeys. The designed windows and doors kept bugs out. On our first day, we encountered a low water flow issue, but our immaculate host, Jordan, promptly attended to it. This is common in Costa Rica due to the calcium-rich water. The only minor drawback was the bumpy 15-minute drive on a dirt road leading to the house. However, as soon as we reached the peaceful haven, any concerns faded away. Highly recommend this place!

The whole team was awesome, provided us with great things to see and do around the area as well as a great local company to rent a car from. Jordan was an excellent communicator and helped us feel right at home. Would love to come back and stay here again!

If your goal  is rest, out of noise and in contact with nature, this is the place. Literally nestled in the mountain.  The House is beautiful, modern, tastefully decorated, with quality furniture  and equipment. "delicious" beds, spacious,  extremely comfortable. Both bedrooms with air conditioning and fans and direct access to the terrace and pool that is a good size. I haven't slept so well in decades.  The terrace and pool under the shade of a spectacular tree that will give you shade much of the day and from where you can visualize the coast and beautiful sunset cellars.  I recommend at least a 4x2 since your access has a certain degree of difficulty. The nearest shops are about 20 minutes away from the place, so you should check that you bring most of your supplies.  Tamarindo about 30-35 minutes away.  Highlight the attention   and kindness of Francisco, with whom we coordinate during our stay.

Si tu objetivo  es el descanso, fuera del ruido y en contacto con la naturales, este es el lugar,. Enclavado literalmente en la montaña.  La Casa es hermosa, moderna, decorada con buen gusto, con mobiliario  y equipo de calidad. Camas "deliciosas", amplias,  sumamente confortables. Ambos dormitorios con aíre acondicionado y ventiladores y acceso directo a la terraza y piscina que es de buen tamaño. Hace décadas que no dormía tan bien.  La terraza y piscina bajo la sombra de un espectacular árbol que te dará sombra buena parte del día y desde donde podrás visualizar la costa y hermosos celajes al atardecer.  Recomiendo mínimo un 4x2 ya que su acceso tiene cierto grado de dificultad. Los comercios más cercanos están a unos 20 minutos del lugar, por lo que debes de revisar que lleves la mayoría de tus provisiones.  Tamarindo a unos 30-35 minutos.  Destacar la atención   y amabilidad de Francisco, con quien coordinamos durante nuestra estancia.

Our trip to Costa Rica was so amazing. Nora and Jordan's place was so clean and very accommodating for couples. Pros: Clean Area Very Strong AC Beautifull Sunsets. Close to Tamarindo Tourist area. Close to All Beaches. Equipped with everything. Smart TV, Suited Kitchen, Towels GALLORE Cons: Bugs : (We did run into scorpions, spiders, and lots of lizards.) - Bring bug spray solution to spray around the house. (Highly recommend) Nature: If you are not a nature person, it can get active at night with the sounds. Make sure all doors are locked. Pool was not swimmable: Unfortunately, the pool cleaner could not collect all the leaves that was left in the pool. We also had frogs in there. You will need a 4x4 to get to and from wherever you are going from the house -- the road is very rocky and can get muddy duringthe rainy seasons. From the House Tamarindo is 28 min. But an hour to La fortuna. (If you plan on going th Shower does not get hot, but lukewarm. The pressure is also low

Great host but overall great place to stay with my family. I will definitely be coming back with friends and family. Thank you for the hospitality.

The place is highly recommended. A little outside but very quiet and as described. The equipment is exceptional.

Die Unterkunft ist nur zu empfehlen. Etwas außerhalb aber dafür sehr ruhig und wie beschrieben. Die Ausstattung ist außergewöhnlich.

Nora's place is amazing, very private with great surroundings, and internet. Perfect for remote work or vacation. Abundance of wildlife, including monkeys viewable from the house. Near a ton of restaurants and driving distance to numerous beaches. I enjoyed my stay at Nora's very much.

This villa is beautiful, even better than the pictures. Highly recommend if you want to relax, cook, read, watch the monkeys. Plenty to do, especially if you have a car.

Had a wonderful stay at this home in the hills overlooking the jungle. Pool and deck is excellent with incredible view. Very private and safe location. Dirt roads are rough driving in off the pavement but worth it.  The house was clean and well equipped. The host was super to deal with and very helpful.

We loved the house ! Surrounded by nature , with an amazing view . We really enjoyed the pool and the amenities of the house . Our host Jordan is always attentive and kind . We will definitely be back !

Nos encantó la casa ! Rodeada de naturaleza , con una increíble vista . Disfrutamos mucho la piscina y las comodidades de la casa . Nuestro anfitrión Jordan siempre atento y amable . Sin duda volveremos !

This house was very remote and absolutely wonderful.  The kitchen was amazing and we had a great time.

Great place with a great view!  Remote, peaceful and quite.

Great place to stay. Comfortable house with a beautiful view. Secluded and calm, surrounded by nature (monkeys, birds, etc.). Keep in mind you might want to drive a 4x4 to get there. The checkin procedurebwas professional and personal. We loved the stay and would book again.

Peaceful with beautiful views and cozy accommodations. The drive to the Vila is a great introduction to the Costa Rica experience.

BOOK THIS HOME! This is absolutely the most incredible AirBNB we have ever stayed in. Very clean! Francisco gave excellent directions and greeted us warmly upon arrival. We immediately felt relaxed and at home yet completely surrounded by the stuff that only dreams are made of. Our kids loved the crystal clear pool, the exotic bugs and wildlife. We loved the privacy of the location, breathtaking sunsets from picture windows, king size luxury bed of the master bedroom with master bath, excellent WI-FI and fully equipped chef’s kitchen. We even got the privilege of awaking on the first night to a large family of howler monkeys outside our window! We watched them play and care for their babies from the pool over breakfast. This home made our trip to Costa Rica UNFORGETTABLE! As with many roads in CR, the road is bumpy, but worth the trek! We were adequately warned about this prior to booking. Get a 4WD car with high clearance and enjoy the journey :)

Great place looking over the jungle. We definitely needed a vehicle to get to and from the beach and town. Very relaxing and secluded. Thanks for having us!

By far my favorite Airbnb experience in all my travels. The location was magical. The house was nestled above the canopy of the rainforest, with no other buildings in sight. Only sounds you hear are of the jungle itself. A family of monkeys hung around the trees above the pool and the outdoor deck. The house was equipped with every little detail that we could possibly need to recharge from our road trip through all of Costa Rica. We hired a local private chef from El Aguacate to do vegan cooking classes for us, the center island and all the kitchen equipment that was provided was beyond perfect. Do note, make sure you follow the directions provided by the host. We accidentally took an alternate route and to cross 2 rivers to get to location. The host greeted us and gave us the tour. He was absolutely amazing and kept in constant contact to ensure all of our needs were met. Looking forward to returning.

I visited for my anniversary with my husband and this is hands down one of the best Airbnbs I’ve ever stayed in. The check in was smooth and Francisco was a great host, he was there even before the start of the check in and helped us with everything we needed (he even congratulated us for our anniversary). This place has AC on all rooms, smart TVs and only 15min drive to avellanas and other beaches. What made the stay so good besides the amazing private location, were the amenities and attention to detail of the place. The decoration is beautiful and they had everything you need and more  (toothbrush, fully equipped kitchen, a lot of towels, shampoo, conditioner, body moisturizer cream, face cleansers! Toothpicks, even razors). The pool was great and had views of the sea line, great sunsets and when we were at the pool we saw a family of monkeys with their offsprings on the trees and a lot of birds. Really appreciated how you took care of all the details to give one of the best Airbnb experiences I’ve ever had, thank you!

LOVE LOVE LOVE! This place was so clean and everything was new! The pool and THE VIEW were absolutely stunning. Kind of like a hidden gem that really gives you the ultimate Costa Rica feel ❤️❤️
