Charming Tropical Villa - Villas for Rent in Cañaza, Provincia de Puntarenas, Costa Rica

A place where you wanted to stay forever! The stay was beautiful, despite some rainy days the house was super spacious and very cozy, excellent wi-fi as we would be working remotely so good quality even on video calls. The house is decorated with an artistic theme which gives it a colorful and lively appearance. In the evenings, the balconies show a starry sky that when combined with little artificial light in the surroundings make the night a show. The house is surrounded by a jungle and a beautiful and powerful vibration. In the day you can see, birds, lapas, monkeys and even some quite exotic and unique land birds of the area. Wilberth the person who helped us with keys, address was kind and attentive to requirements even in the smallest detail. The house is three minutes away from two beautiful waves-free beaches within the same neighborhood, forests and river. Many thank you Paola e Gabrielle and thank you for sharing this hermoso lugar!

Un lugar donde quisieras quedarte por siempre! La estadía fue hermosa, a pesar de algunos dias de lluvia la casa fue super espaciosa y muy acogedora, excelente wi-fi ya que estaríamos trabajando remoto por lo tanto buena calidad inclusive en video llamadas. La casa esta decorada con una temática artística lo cual le da un aspecto colorido y vivo. Por las noches los balcones muestran un cielo estrellado que al combinarse con poca luz artificial en los alrededores hacen de la noche todo un espectaculo. La casa está rodeada de una selva y una vibración hermosa y poderosa. En el día se pueden apreciar, aves, lapas, monos y hasta algunas aves terrestres bastante exoticas y unicas de la zona. Wilberth la persona que nos ayudó con llaves, dirección fue amable y atento a requerimientos hasta en el más mínimo detalle. La casa esta a 3 minutos de dos hermosas playas sin oleaje dentro del mismo vecindario, bosques y río. Muchas gracias Paola e Gabrielle y gracias por compartir este hermoso lugar!

A comfortable and cozy house, very nice finishes and lots of windows and accesses to connect the internal spaces to the outside.

Una casa cómoda y acogedora, muy lindos acabados y gran cantidad de ventanas y accesos para conectar los espacios internos con el exterior.

Our stay at Paola and  Gabriele's was outstanding. We cannot think of a better place where to spend the Covid home confinement. We had a huge garden, with tropical trees teeming with wildlife: scarlet macaws, tucans, fiery billed aracari, howler monkeys, squirrel monkeys and capuccin monkeys and so so many otger birds. The house is well equiped and very spacious, just as it shows in the photos. The neirborhood is quiet and safe, and the beach is 15 minutes away on foot. There is a mini supermarket, a bakery and a hardware shop close by, plus different neighbors sell eggs or fish directly. We loved staying here and we will miss it dearly! I hope we can come back in a not so distant future. There is nothing like stepping out in the garden and picking up the tropical fruit directly from the tree! ;-)

We had a good time at the villa. There is much space to relax and you are surrounded by nature. There where lots of animals nearby, which you can observe from the veranda. Paola was very helpful planning our tours on osa peninsula. The caretaker (Wilberth) managed occuring problems with the house immediately. Just to mention is that the climate and age left their traces at the villa (bathrooms, equipment of kitchen, washing machine, mosquito nets, Fans, Lights ...). There is no WiFi as mentioned in the description, but make sure your prepaid provider is not "claro" as there is no connection with that one in Cañaza. Paola mentioned she has Kolbi (or similar) which seems to work. The House could have been a bit cleaner, especially the kitchen. This was the only thing we were not so comfortable with, therefore we went out for dinner quite often. Although being directly in the nature the house was not too full of insects. The trick with the outside lights mentioned by others worked fine for us as well, also we had our own mosquito nets above the beds. The House is not far from Puerto Jiminez (with Car) and there ist a very nice small super Mercado nearby (Just at the Corner from the Main street to the House). To visit the Corcovado Park from la Leona requires an approx. two hours Car Drive (4x4) on very bumpy roads. The entrance "Tigre" is closer but we were told that the hike there is quite long and challanging (which was not suitable for us as we are travelling with two Babies). The best beach for surfing (Pan Dulce) is also around one hour Car Drive away. With the Missing WiFi it would have been nice to have some information material about what to do in and around the house (super markets, way to the beach, what fruits can be found in the garden, how to use the washing mashine, how to get to Corcovado etc.) Overall we had a good time in and around the house and enjoyed being woken by howler monkeys and Aras :).

Paola's place is by far one of the best buildings around, the house is fresh and open, high ceilings and great wood works, great balconies and a huge property for yourself. Weather is humid and warm around the zone but somehow the house feels fresh and airy. The nearest beach is around the corner (800mts ~10/15 minutes lovely walk) and it is a really good one. If the tide is high you can go left from the entrance and be in a cool beach, but if it is low, go to the right and you will find little individual beaches between fallen trees and palms, really nice. Everything in the house worked fine and the clothes dryer is a MUST, hanging clothing will not dry them. Maybe a couple more EURO-to-AMERICAN adapters for electrical appliances or phone chargers could be useful. And lastly a really good tip if you will stay here in the future, at night, leave the outside first floor white lights, those will attract ALL the bugs to them and let us leave without the mosquito net, no repellent needed even. Completely a game changer compared with the 1st night when we turned off all the lights at night. Totally recommended

This home is beautiful,  large and clean.  The caretaker and his family live on a casita on the property and were very sweet. It's a wonderful property, beautiful balcony and great kitchen,  perfect for a small group or family who want to get away and enjoy nature and solitude.  Fair warning,  we were not able to get data on our phones for miles and there isn't wifi. (This area of CR was the only one we didn't have data.) So be sure to make your plans before arriving in the Corcovado area!

It is a beautiful house in a private place, I liked that I do not have a TV or internet to rest. Monkeys and limpets can be seen next to the house

Es una hermosa casa en un lugar privado, me gustó que no tenga televisor ni Internet para descansar. Se pueden observar monos y lapas al lado de la casa

The house is beautiful. The garden is large and you can see monkeys, parrots, and lizards. The three bedrooms are cozy and the balconies are well equipped (chairs and hammocks). A few small things to consider: It's extremely hot and the ceiling fans are not effective. Plan to buy fans in Puerto Jimenez ($60 each at BM) if you are during the hot period. There is no wifi or cellular network (which is fine but you have to plan ahead if you have any calls to make). The beach is further than the 600 meters described in the listing. In fact it is 1.6 km away so you had to go by car. The city of Puerto Jimenez is cute and there are several beautiful beaches easily accessible. Willberth who hosted us is very kind and welcoming. He helped us with our questions. We recommend this house!

La maison est magnifique. Le jardin est grand et on peut y voir des singes, des perroquets et des lézards. Les trois chambres sont confortables et les balcons sont bien équipés (chaises et hamacs). Quelques petits points à considérer: il fait extrêmement chaud et les ventilateurs au plafonds ne sont pas efficace. Prévoyez acheter des ventilateurs à Puerto Jimenez (60$ chaque chez BM) si vous êtes durant la période chaude. Il n’y a pas de wifi ni de réseau cellulaire (ce qui est bien correct mais il faut prévoir d’avance si vous avez des appels à faire). La plage est plus loin que le 600 mètres décris dans l’annonce. En fait, elle est a 1,6km et il fallait donc y aller en voiture. La ville de Puerto Jimenez est mignonne et il y a plusieurs superbes plages facilement accessible. Willberth qui nous a accueilli est très gentil et accueillant. Il nous a aidé avec nos questions. Nous recommandons cette maison!

Beautiful home. Idyllic setting. Fantastic experience. 

Paola’s house surprises with its openness and generosity. High ceilings, beautiful woodwork, spacious balconies and a very impressive garden with a huge Matapolo, chicken and bamboo enclosure. Scarlett macows flying by and a daily visit of a family of squirrel monkeys in the afternoon. Yes the mosquito nets need fixing, but you need insect repellent anyhow because it would be a shame to lock yourself in instead of sleeping with wide open windows and doors. Wilberth is a clever and    totally trustworthy “ Tico” and  always there when you need him. Indulge!

As a couple We were disappointed that we never felt fully comfortable during our 5 day stay. Damaged fly screens, nowhere light enough to read inside at night. No information about house or area. European electrical sockets. Lovely grounds and good local beach which we found by chance. Puerto Jimenez interesting town but c 10km away. Place would be good for a family gathering.

I'm sorry to read that you did not feel comfortable, but in the explanation of the house it was clearly written that the outlets were European, and in the house there are transformers from European to American, all previous guests including many Americans and Costa Ricans have used them. I do not understand what you are referring to with light readings at night ..... as to the distance from puerto jimenez is specified in the explanation of where the house is located. for the mosquito nets in the windows I'm sorry it's true they're damaged on the bottom floor, we'll fix them as soon as possible. as regards the cracks in the fixtures you are the first people who notice this "problem". in the description of the house everything is reported and the photos clearly indicate where the house is located, in the middle of the tropical forest. I think that what you are looking for is a closed structure built in concrete with sealed doors and windows and air conditioning. I think you have not even read the description of my house. greetings Paola and Gabry

My family stayed at Paola's house for 6 nights and we really enjoyed it! It's a beautiful, nicely decorated, solid house in a very private area just north of Puerto Jimenez.  Having a car was essential, I would say.  (Having a 4x4 vehicle is also very important if you want to do much exploring.) There was quite a bit of wildlife visible from the wonderful decks and porches at the house: we saw howler monkeys, iguana, macaws, butterflies, one frog!  It's very comfortable for a small group; we loved the privacy and quiet.

We enjoyd staying at this beautiful house with a huge garden. Sometimes we could see monkeys, Ara’s, Tucans, honeybirds and beautiful butterflies. The house is peaceful and big and has been nicely furnitured. All bedrooms have a balcony. The entrance of the National park Corcovado is about 15 min by car, but the road is not the best so you have to drive slowly. For shops and restaurants we went to Jiménez wich takes you about 15 min and a car is requiered. We missed internet although so we had to go to one of the restaurants in Jiménez to check our mail.

A beautiful house, super spacious, a beautiful location, you can appreciate the congos, lapas, toucans, hawks, in the fruit trees that surround the property. The gentleman who cares for the house is very friendly and helpful, you need internet connection and at least one screen, otherwise, I would definitely come back....

Una casa preciosa, súper espaciosa, una ubicación hermosa, puedes apreciar los congos, lapas, tucanes, gavilanes, en los árboles frutales que rodean la propiedad. El señor que cuida la casa es muy amable y servicial, hace falta conexión a internet y al menos una pantalla, por lo demás, sin duda volvería....

We were visiting Paola's house from Dec 26 to January 1, 2018. The place is nice, the house is very spacious, and the trees that surround it give a cool atmosphere at night.

Estuvimos de visita en la casa de Paola del 26 dic al 01 Enero/2018. Es bonito el lugar, la casa es muy amplia, y los arboles que la rodean dan un ambiente fresco durante las noches.

Beautiful house, too bad there was no internet yet, but that seems to come.  There are no outdoor chairs, while there's a lovely porch. We had up to 2 times the luck to spot monkeys that moved in the trees through the garden. 

Prachtig huis, jammer dat er nog geen internet was, maar dat schijnt te komen.  Er zijn geen buitenstoelen, terwijl er een heerlijke veranda is. We hadden tot 2 keer het geluk apen te spotten die in de bomen door de tuin trokken. 

The house is very comfortable and very clean. Great place to rest and not far from the different beaches of Puerto Jiménez and the national park Corcovado. I recommend this place.

The house is very beautiful with a beautiful garden, it does not have air conditioning but it is very cool due to its spacious runners and numerous folding doors and windows. It is perfect for families and it is advisable to have a car to make the most of the area and its beaches. It is also an excellent option to enjoy the countryside (although I recommend bringing repellent). Paola and Ivan were very kind to answer our questions and were attentive to our needs. Thank you !

La casa es muy bella con un jardín hermoso, no tiene aire acondicionado pero es muy fresca por sus amplios corredores y numerosas puertas y ventanas plegables. Es perfecta para familias y es recomendable tener carro para disfrutar al máximo la zona y sus playas. Igual es una excelente opción para disfrutar del campo (aunque recomiendo llevar repelente). Paola e Ivan fueron muy amables al responder a nuestras dudas y estuvieron atentos a nuestras necesidades. Gracias !

We had a wonderful stay at Paola´s place. The house was beautiful, more than it looks  in the pictures.  Kitchen conditions are very good. Cannaza keeps the charm of a Costa Rican town, not much tourism,  something we appreciate very much. Better to drive to surrounding  beaches and not to walk, because it is very hot.   We love to come back in the future!

We had a very nice stay in this big, beautiful house (which looks exactly like in the pictures). Ivan, the housekeeper, just lives in front and is very helpfull and reliable. As mentionned by others you need your own car (which I'd recommend for travelling in Costa Rica in general).  We didn't mind but be aware that there is no AC or Wifi connection. Get ready to disconnect and observe some Aras in the garden :) .

By far the best accommodation in Pto Jiménez area! Me and my family spent here a wonderful time, full relax, completely recommended. The house is gorgeous, furniture and decoration are great. It's a real tropical agro-tourism. Beaches and town are close, but you will need a car.

The house is really beautiful and Ivan the housekeeper is really helpful and friendly. The pictures exactly show how the house actually looks like. It has nice furnitures and a great decoration. The rooms are quite big and 3 bathrooms are good if you stay with more persons. But it's recommended to have your own car to drive to the beach or do some activities. Otherwise you always have to take a cab which is comparing to other cities really expensive in Puerto Jimenez. And to walk to the next beach definitely is more than 600 m. It took us like 20 minutes.  All together we enjoyed our stay and the calm and peace. And to watch the apes play in the trees behind the house is a great benefit.
