Great relaxing stay. The outdoor space is awesome and there’s great opportunities to see some really cool wildlife. A little difficult to find the house the first time (use Waze) but once you’re there everything about the stay was great

Absolutely incredible! One of the coolest places I have ever stayed. My family of four loved it. The pool and outdoor area are a dream. We have beautiful memories from here we will cherish. The girls loved the monkeys!

Quiet atmosphere, a place full of nature perfect for people looking to disconnect. Everything is very clean, the house is spacious and nice!

Ambiente tranquilo, un lugar lleno de naturaleza perfecta para las personas que buscan desconectarse. Todo muy limpio, la casa es amplia y linda!

Another week in paradise here parrots monkeys raccoons peaceful and magical place.

Our stay at this enchanting Airbnb was nothing short of magical! From the moment we arrived, our wonderful hosts greeted us with kindness and warmth that made us feel right at home. The surroundings felt like something out of a dream, filled with vibrant plants and the joyous chatter of playful monkeys swinging through the trees. Waking up to the sounds of nature was such a treat! It's very quiet which we loved. The garden was a beautiful oasis, impeccably maintained and bursting with color. We spent countless afternoons lounging by the pristine pool, which felt like our own little paradise. Inside, we found a big, comfortable couch perfect for relaxing after a day of adventure. The kitchen was fully equipped with everything we could possibly need, and we loved the barbecue . The bathroom has fantastic water pressure made showering a delight having a washer and dryer was incredibly convenient. What truly stood out was the positivity of everyone working on the property.

What an incredible stay in the jungle! Beautiful space with birds, geckos and monkeys right outside your expansive windows. Loved seeing the Capuchin monkeys every day.  We really enjoyed our time there. The owner was very responsive, helpful and kind. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience at an Airbnb. We won’t forget it. Thanks so much! Pura Vida! 🩷

Wonderful!!!! From our entire trip to Costa Rica, we stayed in several hotels and Airbnbs, but your villa is simply exceptional, almost unreal. She made our trip even more perfect. The view is beautiful: the small pool, the visits of the capuchin monkeys, the extraordinary decoration, the superb paintings made by you and the fact of being completely in the jungle… everything is absolutely magical. You have built a beautiful house and, in addition, you have been extraordinary hosts: always available, attentive to our questions and quick in your answers. Honestly, our experience exceeded all our expectations. Thank you so much, Pura Vida!

Merveilleux !!!! De tout notre voyage au Costa Rica, nous avons séjourné dans plusieurs hôtels et Airbnb, mais votre villa est tout simplement exceptionnelle, presque irréelle. Elle a rendu notre voyage encore plus parfait. La vue est magnifique : la petite piscine, les visites des singes capucins, la décoration extraordinaire, les superbes tableaux faits par vous et le fait d’être complètement en pleine jungle … tout est absolument magique. Vous avez construit une maison magnifique et, en plus, vous avez été des hôtes extraordinaires : toujours disponibles, attentifs à nos questions et rapides dans vos réponses.Honnêtement, notre expérience a dépassé toutes nos attentes Merci mille fois, Pura Vida!

We enjoyed our stay in the beautiful modern villa. The place was spacious and exactly as described. It was helpful to have a 4x4 for the short downhill and uphill drive on the dirt road to the place. The pool helped us stay cool. The host was responsive and checked in with us during our stay. The monkeys came to visit, and it was fun watching them in the trees. We hope to return in the future.

Perfect getaway from everything location.

Casa Macaw is a truly special place.  Victoria and Maor are such wonderful and friendly hosts and they’ve created a real gem with this place. The home is beautiful and comfortable and the setting on a hillside in a tropical forest is just spectacular. The beautiful pool was a standout highlight and our kids had the best time jumping in and out all through the stay. One of the best places we’ve ever stayed and some of the nicest, most responsive hosts we’ve had the pleasure of encountering. We’d heartily recommend Casa Macaw to anyone and hope to come again in the future.

Thank you Adam for your kind words! It was our pleasure hosting you guys - hope to do it again in the future 🙏🏼

As soon as we entered the house, we felt very comfortable. Everything was clean and as described. We were even able to drop off our suitcases before 3pm and went to get some food before we could get into the house at 3pm. Very friendly and fast communication. The beds were very comfortable and the pool was great. The kitchen is well equipped, we have cooked more often, otherwise there are many restaurants in the area. During the rain, the game Dos, which was in the house, gave us a lot of joy. We can highly recommend this place.

Gleich beim Betreten des Hauses haben wir uns sehr wohl gefühlt. Alles war sauber und wie beschrieben. Wir konnten sogar unsere Koffer vor 15 Uhr abstellen und sind etwas Essen gegangen, bevor wir um 15 Uhr ins Haus konnten. Sehr freundliche und schnelle Kommunikation. Die Betten waren sehr bequem und der Pool toll. Die Küche ist gut ausgestattet, wir haben öfter gekocht, ansonsten gibt es viele Restaurants in der Gegend. Während des Regens hat uns das Spiel Dos, das es im Haus gab, viel Freude bereitet. Wir können diese Unterkunft wärmstens empfehlen.

It was a beautiful location, the Airbnb was so nice and clean and spacious! We were able to see the Howler monkeys when we first checked in as well as hearing them at night! It was in the most perfect location if you’re looking for a nice peaceful getaway. The beach was near by as well as downtown and shopping center maybe about 10 minutes away

Thank you Corrine, it was our pleasure hosting you - hope to see you again in the future 🙏🏼

All previous comments are consistent and realistic. Enjoy you stay!

Tous les commentaires précédents sont conformes et réalistes. Enjoy you stay !

Really enjoyed the beautiful jungle house.

Echt genoten van het prachtige junglehuis.

Very beautiful house! Very attentive hosts, I recommend them! Thank you!

Muy hermosa casa! Muy atentos los anfitriones los recomiendo! Gracias!

This was absolutely the best place to stay!  Staying there made our whole trip totally worthwhile! The  home, location, amenities, hosts, everything was superb! We would recommend this home to everyone! It was beautiful, spacious, clean,  and well stocked. The pool was amazing, the landscaping gorgeous, and the wildlife abundant. It was simply beautiful and so peaceful and relaxing. The birds, butterflies, lizards were all amazing to see and hear. The Howler monkeys visited several times. Our favorite was the Capuchin Monkeys that came onto the deck and pool area. They let us feed them and it was awesome knowing they were in their natural habitat and still socialized with us! Victoria and Maor were the absolute best! They are amazing people and treated us wonderfully. I only wish I could truly express how kind, respectful, friendly, and responsive they were.  If you are looking for a once-in-a-lifetime experience with extraordinary memories to take home with you, then this is it!!

The house was wonderful! Lots of activities, beautiful beaches and the hosts were amazing. Not to mention the white faced monkeys that visited us a few mornings during our stay. We had a lot of questions while there and they answered all of them in detail. We couldn’t have asked for more! We would highly recommend this home!

Thanks again for a wonderful stay, what a gem of a home!!

We loved staying at Maor’s peaceful jungle retreat. It was very peaceful and spacious. The small pool - although mostly in the shade - was lovely to cool off in. The garden seat cover was a bit tatty and there were not enough wine glasses, but Maor was quick to respond and supplied us with more. I would recommend staying here if you’re a large party as it’s very big and light with a huge terrace and balcony terrace. You won’t see the sunset as it’s hidden in a valley but you will hear amazing night jungle sounds and feel peace away from the more lively Santa Teresa main roads/beaches

It was a little hard to find at night for the first time. Just wasn’t sure how far back to drive! Lol but we followed directions and we found it. It was beautiful! And so peaceful. Monkeys will for sure visit and the pool was the perfect temperature! We loved everything and would definitely come again.

This is a stylish and beautifully designed home well cared for by Maor and Victoria, who live directly below the house down the hill. They responded quickly to any concern and assisted us with booking extras for our trip and made local recommendations we otherwise would not have known about. The house is extremely clean, kitchen well stocked, AC works beautifully, beds are very comfortable and water pressure is good! We saw monkeys on the patio, heard beautiful birds, and had fun watching many bees and butterflies swoop in and out of the blossoming trees hanging over the pool. No nearby sound issues like a major road or big construction project going on. This is on a quiet, dirt road off a quiet dirt road off the quiet main road in mal pais. I do recommend an ATV or all wheel drive car given location, but you could make do with a contact with a driver with a jeep! Thanks, Maor and Victoria!

Thank you Jessica! It was our pleasure hosting you guys! Hope to have you again in the future 🙏🏼

As a worldwide user of Airbnb for the past many years, this place stands out as one of the top. The property is incredible. The house is beautiful inside and out and very comfortable. Sitting outside, what was the highlight of our trip with daily visits from the monkeys, chickens, and the random iguana. The hosts are the most accommodating I’ve ever worked with. They are just down the hill from you, which at first didn’t sound ideal, but they really truly are incredibly helpful. Do not think twice about booking this property you will not be disappointed .

Maor’s  house was great for a family of four. We didn’t get to use the pool much because the nearby beaches were so great. Super responsive host with great recommendations locally. Thanks and hope we get to stay here again.

Thank you for Charlie! It was our pleasure hosting you & your family.

Wow! Victoria and Maor’s place is incredible. It’s a slice of paradise. The property is modern, intentional, super private, comfortable and was the highlight of our entire trip to Costa Rica. Loads of great details. The master suite feels like you are waking up in the jungle with the huge windows. The pool and deck is perfect for afternoon soaks. Outdoor showers were a daily joy. 5-15 minutes to anything you could want to do. The monkey visits were a huge added bonus. Out favorite days were split evenly From the beach and surfing and chilling at the house with our two kids. . Victoria and Maor were the best air bnb hosts we have ever had. So helpful and kind. Even helped us set up excursions and went way above and beyond with recommendations and making us feel welcomed. We will be coming back!

You guys are the best! Thank you so much for staying with us and for these kind words, it means a lot to us. 🙏🏼

This spot outside of Santa Teresa was beautiful and luxurious. The wildlife and birds were diverse and the house itself was good quality. The pool was nice. The location takes a bit longer to get to up a windy road, but it’s worth it to be closer to nature.

We had an amazing stay at this house. Great location and beautiful home. The hosts were very friendly and helpful. Very happy to have stayed here and would recommend.

Very spacious and luxurious home tucked away deep in the hills of the rainforest. Pros: - Very large rooms - Excellent air conditioning - Monkeys come almost daily at dusk/dawn and host provided mini bananas - Incredible pool, with brief maintenance through the week - Beautiful view/private area surrounded by the rainforest - Lots of towels, paper products - Very clean - Host was very responsive and helpful for any questions or concerns we had all week Cons: - Went during excessive rain and leaks coming through the primary bedroom windows and ceiling - Multiple power outages due to the storms - Lost hot water(quickly restored once brought to host’s attention) - VERY steep long drive up a windy tight 1 lane road to and from the property. Due to rain the potholes we bottomed out in our car every time in and out. MUST need a 4x4 to stay here. Not in sufficient walking distance anywhere - Host family lives down the hill where you can hear/see from the hill, not an issue but point to note

Dear Ryan, We’d like to clarify: Leaks: No actual leaks—just condensation from 100% humidity during a state of emergency. We regret the unusual weather during your stay. Power outages: Caused by region-wide storms, beyond our control. Power was restored when possible. Hot water: Fixed in less than 10 minutes; we prioritize quick service. Driveway: Heavy rains during the emergency affected conditions. We advise renting 4x4 vehicles for exploring Costa Rica. This issue doesn’t occur in summer. and still we thanks you for your kind words. and were happy you enjoyed what was available. maor&victoria

Everything about the house was amazing. Waking up and going outside to listen to all the animals and howler monkeys is the distance was a dream. Every morning we got a visit from a pack of monkeys and it was so fun! The house itself was exactly as described in the pictures, spacious for 4 adults with plenty of room.

Thank you Samantha 🙏🏼 Hope to host you again in the future !

We booked based on reviews and they were pretty accurate - spotless and beautiful home, great outdoor space with occasional visitors 🐒🐓🦜, very tranquil but still close to the main strip if you feel like getting out. Maor and Victoria were very helpful and respond promptly. Definitely coming back in the future

This is such a beautiful place to stay in this area. It’s about 5 minutes up a mountain to the property but is still super close to the beach and everything going on down there. The monkeys were amazing to see so close and just very cool! We also loved seeing the chickens everyday and the cat that would come by. If you want to see wildlife at your doorstep, look no further!! Truly an amazing place. Great beds, full kitchen, great wifi and A/C. Extremely responsive and helpful hosts. It’s really a perfect spot. Great for kids too! Book here for a memorable experience FOR SURE.

Maor and his family were amazing hosts! They were funny, kind, helpful and welcoming 🥹🫶🏻 They gave us recommendations about beautiful hidden spots, helped us to identify different animal sounds we heard and wanted to know more about haha, and they have an absolute charming neighbour who invited us to look at the monkeys swinging around in the garden and showed us his plant nursery - absolute fantastic! The Airbnb was unbelievably clean, every room had a different fantastic smell and had everything you needed and more! We will most definitely come back 🫶🏻 All the best for you 🌸🐒

Thank you so much for these kind words! it was honestly our pleasure hosting you guys!

A beautiful oasis in the jungle, but still close to the place and beach. A wonderful house with style and magnificent pool in a magnificent setting. We saw monkeys. The house is one of the most beautiful on our trip. We had a wonderful time here. Hope to come back. Absolutely recommend.

Eine wunderschöne Oase im Dschungel, aber trotzdem nah am Ort und Strand. Ein wunderschönes Haus mit Stil und herrlichen Pool in einer herrlichen Umgebung. Wir haben Affen gesehen. Das Haus zählt zu den schönsten auf unserer Reise. Wir hatten hier eine wunderbare Zeit. Wir hoffen, wir können wiederkommen. Absolut empfehlenswert.

What a great spot in the middle of the jungle and just a 5 minute drive from facilities like supermarket, restaurants, coffee shops and the beach! The house is spacious and neat with quality furniture, high end tv’s and a fully equipped kitchen. Would definitely recommend this house. Make sure you have a 4wd car with lock. Enjoy!

hi dennis. it was lovely having you. you and your family were wonderfull. just wanted to say that all roads in the area require 4wd in the heavy rain period of the year. and it is not needed in summer at all. hope that it did not create any inconvinience for you.

You need to rent this place! What a beauty!! We spent a week here with our 2 kids (age 8-11)This place was everything we asked for and more. The host was very responsive with any questions or if you needed help. The grounds were beautiful, we always felt safe and comfortable. Wildlife everywhere, the views are spectacular. Make sure you rent a 4x4 or all wheel drive with a little ground clearance, we did bottom out with our small SUV. Perfect for families, the pool was awesome to come home to after a long hot day. The hosts are definitely super hosts!

Thank you Jared! It was all our pleasure hosting you guys! Hope to see you again soon!

Incredibly beautiful home and amazing hosts who were easy to communicate with. private, peaceful and flawless in a beautiful jungle setting.

Casa Macaw is simply beautiful. It's nestled peacefully in the mountain jungles with breathtaking views everywhere you look. We saw most of thr wildlife of our trip directly from the house.

This is such a fantastic place! The wildlife is incredible, the views stunning and the hosts are very helpful! One of my favorite airbnbs thus far! Please note, in the rainy season, you will want an all wheel or 4 wheel drive to get up the hills. Our car rental couldn’t make it, so we ended up renting at ATV that worked great! It is worth it!

The pool was very cool way to end a long, hot day. Plenty of big, comfy blankets to get cozy with on the couch. Also, enough towels for showers and pool times. We had daily howler monkey spottings in the trees by the pool and even a few Capuchin monkey visits. I'd recommend a 4x4 for all of the Costa Rican Peninsula, including the road to the property. The property is very close to Mal Pais tide pools, all of Santa Teresa's restaurants, and other amenities. Hosts are very responsive and take care of requests very quickly. Someone who maintains the property lives next door, resolving any requests within minutes.

I had the loveliest visit at Maor and Victoria's home. My husband, 3 young daughters, and I enjoyed the outside side--monkeys, chickens and pool. We had our own little jungle, minus the pool, in our backyard. The house is super close to everything as long as you have 4-wheel drive. The house was comfortable and clean--just like pictures. We loved having AC in the common space/kitchen. It is a home well cared for which cannot be easy to do in a jungle. Maor and Victoria always answered questions and responded to anything that came up. They are good people. Thank you both!

Aww! 🥰 thank you Jill for your kind words- it was all our pleasure hosting your beautiful family, you’re always welcome to visit us again ❤️

Maor and Victoria were lovely hosts. went above and beyond to make our stay special.  Great humans. place was beautiful and in a great location.  only negative experience I had was leaving that place in the jungle to head back to my concrete jungle, in houston.  if you're in Santa Teresa, you will love staying there. we will be back again

Thank you so much for this Tristan! we really hope to host you again!

Maor & Victoria have a stunning jungle oasis nestled in a hilly off road area. The aesthetic and details of the home are simply amazing. You will find everything you need! You get stunning views of the surrounding area, you get to be up close and personal with howler monkeys, which was such a cool experience! The backyard area is so nice to lounge, relax & cool off. The pictures are accurate to the core. The house is close to local beaches, restaurants and local shops which is a huge bonus! You don’t have to go far to find a bite to eat or to shop. Maor and Victoria were responsive and easy to coordinate with. They knew we were travelling with our little one and were so generous to ask if there was anything they could provide to make her stay just as enjoyable! As parents we really appreciated that touch! (Toys, highchair etc) Highly recommend staying here, it’s a one of a kind experience and we will remember this for a lifetime.

Thank you so much Waqar & Sabina! It was all our pleasure hosting your beautiful family!

I have never been so excited to leave a review for an air bnb. Myself, my boyfriend, and our two friends celebrated my 30th birthday in Costa Rica and stayed here. It was magical from beginning to end! We arrived late which was no problem but as Maor says, try to arrive during the day! The roads are a little tricky to navigate at night. It was so worth it though! Monkeys visited us the first morning of our stay and it set the entire tone of our trip. Once Maor learned it was my birthday, he and his wife moved mountains to make sure it was as special as possible. Very responsive whenever an issue arose (no big ones arose!) The location is so, so special. The sounds are incredible. We would 100% stay here again. Comfy beds, wonderful outdoor showers, cute visitors, very unique town, lots to do, great food! Thank you both so much!

Thank you Heather for your kind words! We had the absolute pleasure hosting you guys!

We spent a moment out of time in this beautiful house. Maor and Kika were very friendly and available hosts. Between the pool and the daily monkey tours we were really able to enjoy our vacation here.

Nous avons passé un moment hors du temps dans cette magnifique maison. Maor et Kika ont étés des hôtes très sympathiques et très disponibles. Entre la piscine et les visites quotidiennes des singes nous avons vraiment pu profiter de nos vacances ici.

Thank you Gaël for your kind words! It was our pleasure hosting your beautiful family

The place looks just like the pictures and provided everything we needed for our week in the Santa Teresa area.  The hosts were some of the best we have ever encountered.  Very responsive and helpful.  But the main reason, I would recommend this place (and would stay here again) is the monkeys!  We were at the place most mornings and evenings which allowed us to see monkeys almost every day.  On multiple occasions we saw a family of Howler monkeys (with babies) and got to enjoy their loud calls up close. But, the stars of the show, were the capuchin monkeys that would come up close and interact with you.  We had the little bananas and were able to feed them by hand.  A truly unique experience!

Thank you Jeff for your kind words! We’d be happy to host you guys anytime!!

We loved everything about this house - it is beautiful and feels secluded even though there are neighbors nearby. We go lucky and saw a group of 8-10 howler monkeys right in the trees of the backyard just before sunset at night. I also awoke one morning and saw a small white faced monkey running along the pool. Our only regret is we wish we had stayed longer.

By far the best Airbnb hosts I've ever dealt with. The place was amazing and the hosts went above and beyond.  Cannot say enough nice things about the experience and I can't wait to visit again!

Thank you so much Robert for your kind words! Can’t wait to host you again in the future!

My wife and I booked Casa Macaw for a short babymoon, and it was exactly what we had hoped for. Secluded in the jungle surrounding Malpais/Carmen/Santa Teresa, it was beautiful, quiet, and peaceful. White-faced monkeys often visited in the morning, grabbing bananas from nearby trees. The more secretive howler monkeys made an appearance as well (although they seemed to avoid closer contact with us). The house also has all the modern amenities one would need-WiFi, streaming services on the tv’s, a lovely pool, etc. And despite its privacy, it is a very quick (5 minutes tops) drive into town/the beach. So restaurants, shops, and supermarkets are all easily accessible. And for those looking for a nice hike through the jungle, Cabo Blanco Nature Preserve is an easy 45 minute drive. Long story short, we loved our time at Casa Macaw. Maor and Victoria were very accommodating and helpful, responding quickly whenever we had a question. 5/5 stars, would happily return.

Thank you so much Walker! It was all our pleasure hosting you guys! We hope to host you anytime again in the future! And thank you for being such wonderful guests 🫶🏼

The house is amazing and the way its located is maybe even better. This is truly a great jungle experience with all the benefits you could ask for. Very convenient for traveling with kids as well. We have enjoyed our stay very much and will definitely come back when we have the chance. Thanks Maor and Victoria for hosting us!

Thank you Erik for your kind words! We are so glad you had a great stay! Love to see you again in the future

My wife, infant daughter and I had an amazing time at Casa Macaw. Located just a few minutes away from the hustle and bustle of Santa Teresa, this jungle getaway was an incredible escape. Tucked into a hillside brimming with nature and beauty, you will be sure to encounter incredible Costa Rican wildlife (monkeys, iguanas, and more) from your doorstep. The accommodations were thoughtful, cozy, and just what we were looking for. The hosts (Maor and Victoria) were incredibly kind, thoughtful and great with communication. We highly recommend staying at Casa Macaw. Pura vida!

We absolutely loved our stay at Casa Macaw. It is truly a private jungle oasis and the hosts were incredible. We spent 3 weeks here and hope to come back. It’s a great place for people who also would like to work remotely! Me and my wife did this and the 2 desk setup was perfect

Where to begin! This was our best Air Bnb rental to date, and we have stayed in many places in this world. Extremely modern and clean with high-end decor. Exquisite attention to detail. One can tell Mojo (host) takes much care and pride in his property. He was an amazing host with excellent recommendations. The villa itself is right outside of the hustle, but also a 5 minute drive to beaches, town, tide pools. And the monkeys!!!! Mojo even had bananas waiting for us to feed them. Do not hesitate to book this amazing villa. It was memorable and perfect and we will be back.

They made is feel at home and our family is so thankful:)

Beautiful, lush, private, amazing pool. Monkeys came to visit most days. Maor was very helpful during our stay, highly recommend!

Mo was an amazing host!  He greeted us and respected the time and space. The laundry was unavailable so they offered to do a little laundry for us which meant so much!  The property was just what we imagined, a bit out of the way with unique characteristics. The capuchin monkeys greeted us on day one and were disappointed we were not on the program, but continued to check us out. The Howler monkeys visited every other day and we enjoyed their presence. The infinity pool was just what we needed after a day of surfing!  The layout of the house was perfect for us , but there was construction going on around us was a sign of prosperity. Many thanks to Mo and his wife, our gracious hosts!!!!

One of my favorite places to stay in the area, great location, the house is very nice, comfortable and spacious.

Uno de mis lugares favoritos para hospedarme en la zona, excelente ubicación, la casa es muy linda, cómoda y amplia.

Awesome place and awesome host. After a little trouble finding the place after a long car ride from Liberia, we had an amazing time. The monkeys visiting the property is the highlight of the trip. The only thing I would change is the directions trying to find the place. To find the place you need to go past the hotel, and hang left!

Thank you, Michael, for your wonderful review! The road workers temporarily removed our sign, but rest assured, we will reinstall it promptly. It was a pleasure hosting you. Wishing you an enjoyable vacation and safe travels ahead.

Maor and Victoria could not have been more perfect hosts!!!! They were responsive if we needed, and allowed us to be as private as we wished on our escape. Their haus was perfect....  we wanted for nothing! They were beyond warm, responsive and felt like we were staying at a friends haus from the very  first nite! These people are why we love to escape using Airbnd homes. Truly wonderful hosts.

Thank you su much david for the compliments. It was our pleasure.

Maor's place was perfect for our family of 5.  The location out of town was beautiful.  A little tricky to find the first day but after that it was no problem to navigate to and from.

We had an amazing time. The host was very helpful and have us a ton of great recommendations throughout our stay!

Maor was a very responsive host. His place was clean and well kept. We loved the living room and kitchen and saw wildlife from the deck. Also enjoyed being away from Santa Teresa in a quieter neighborhood. He was really kind, helping us resolve a few issues quickly, coming to bring an extra key, and giving us a little extra time when our daughter got really sick the last day. Not a typical rental—this will be his family’s home when their lease is up. You need an ATV or 4x4 to get there. Eat at La Dona in Malpais.

Beautiful property in a stunning jungle location, upon arrival we were advised we would need a car but this wasn’t stated on the listing and cabs are expensive. The property had plenty of amenities and space and Mojo is very friendly. We did experience a bad tropical storm and due to the remote nature of the property, access was extremely difficult and there was no power for one night. Completely out of the hosts control but something to bear in mind if travelling in rainy season.

Hi ingie. Can you help me by telling me what wasnt clean in the house to your opinion? Thanks

The house is beautiful and it is well equipped with the necessary for a short vacation. We really enjoyed the private pool and the outdoor space. The huge TV was a great bonus and we enjoyed having family movie nights !

Absolute gem! We felt so lucky to be able to stay at Casa Macaw. We did not want want to leave! Such a fun and memorable time. Cannot give enough stars for this place! Thank you for sharing your home with us! Pura Vida!

Our vacation  at the Macaw house was wonderful! the house is  excellent, everything in very good taste, the beds and shower are delicious. The nature  around the house is amazing , monkeys  were on the balcony several  mornings! the pool is  beautiful! We love it! Thank you Maor and Victóriapor all the attention given to us!

As nossas férias  na casa Macaw foram maravilhosas! a casa é  excelente, tudo de muito bom gosto, as camas e chuveiro são deliciosos. a natureza  ao redor da casa é incrível , macacos  foram na varanda várias  manhãs! a piscina é  linda! adoramos! obrigada Maor e Victóriapor toda atenção dada a nós!

Thank you Camila! It was our pleasure hosting you and your family!

Our stay at Maor's was amazing! The villa is sublime and Maor is really adorable and helpful We 100% recommend 😍

Notre séjour chez Maor était exceptionnelle! La villa est sublime et Maor est vraiment adorable et serviable Nous recommandons à 100% 😍

It was a luxury experience at a welcoming place. The house is well equipped with everything necessary. Communication with the host was the best, very flexible and attentive to any inquiries.

Fue una experiencia de lujo en un lugar acogedor. La casa está bien equipada con todo lo necesario. La comunicación con el host fue la mejor, muy flexible y atento a cualquier consulta.

We loved staying at Maor’s place. The house is beautiful and feels very private, surrounded by jungle, but still within a five minute drive to restaurants, shopping and beaches. The beds and pillows are easily the best we’ve ever had at any Airbnb, or hotel for that matter. Our kids loved the pool and feeding the monkeys from the deck. Maor is a very kind and responsive host. He even took time to show us a nearby beach with amazing tide pools. We would definitely stay here again

We spent a week and a half at Maor's place and honestly cannot say enough good things about our experience there, and especially about Maor himself being an incredible host. Our stay started in a torrential downpour and even though the house is supposed to be self check-in, Maor drove out to lead us there and make sure we got in ok. He checked in regularly, offered to bring extra toys/ books for our kids, and was quick to respond whenever we had questions or needed recommendations. He gave great tips on things to do and best times for going to the beaches. He is truly such a friendly guy who really cared that we had a wonderful time on our vacation. The house itself is stunning. There were so many moments where we commented on what an oasis it is. The pool was perfect and got used multiple times every day. We saw lots of wildlife, including monkeys several times (one day they stayed for several hours!). This place was the best and we were so sad to leave!

Casa Mccaw couldn’t have been more perfect. The location is quiet and beautiful and it’s just a 5 minute ride into downtown Santa Teresa. I am an avid airbnb user and I have not met a host as friendly and helpful as Maor. He truly cares about his guests and will go above and beyond to ensure they have a good time. I will absolutely be back.

Our host was extremely helpful and provided great recommendations for daily adventures. Our children had a blast swimming in the pool, watching monkeys and birds. Truly paradise! We highly recommend to anyone looking for a relaxing and beautiful location.

Maor’s place is brand new and just gorgeous. We had monkeys visit us in the morning, which made our stay even more special. Maor was friendly and helpful and responded quickly to our questions and requests. Would definitely come back!

This Airbnb was even better than it looks in the photos. The house was beautiful and was in a very tranquil spot in the forest. Maor was a great host and was ready to help with anything we needed.

Thanks nina. I apreciate it. Your allwase welcome

We had some trouble finding the Airbnb at first since we arrived after sunset.I recommend going with a reliable car that is OK going uphill since the roads are unpaved. We were hesitant at first to drive the car back up but soon realized that we were able to and ended up being fine for the remainder of the trip. The house was exactly as depicted. Upon arrival Maor was helpful & got us situated & also gave us a few recommendations. We noticed a lot of spider webs in the house which Maor had cleaned in the morning. Keep in mind the house is in the jungle so these things are expected. Other than that I do think the floors could use a good mopping. The pool was AMAZING for my family & I, perfect for cooling off after the beach! Keep in mind there is a beach in walking distance by walking down along a dried up creek. I recommend going with hiking shoes it’s a rocky beach. Thankfully Maor picked us up to bring us back up. ALSO ONLY ROAD TO EXIT closes 830AM-12. overall the stay was great!

Dear alia, thank you for you kind words :). First of all, i recommend all my clients to arraive during the day, as santa teresa's streets are not publicly lighted, as i did recommend you prior to your arrival. 85% of the roads in the area are not paved. Very common for this area. And the road going to the villa has been beautifuly been paved and im happy to say that the road is finished And is now one of the safest roads in town. Never to be closed again. Thank you for notifying me about the faults of the cleaning staff. I will make sure to triple check it in the future. Happy to host your charming family. Safe travels!

This place is perfect, we had a great week in paradise! The king bed is very confortable. The design of the house l is beautiful.l, and the jungle is all around it! The house is located at approx. 8 min from Santa Teresa where there are a lot of restaurants.  There is also few options near by in Malpais. Moar was very proactive and helpful!

Moar is the nicest guy and has the most beautiful property. We were awed when we first arrived and hope to be back some day. :)

I have about 15 years of going to malpais and renting many houses but this home felt like home. Everything was perfect and we also had monkeys every morning. Maor was a great host! If you are looking for a tropical home this home is worth it. We love it!

Maor is truly an amazing person, you can count on him for anything always very available and kind

Maor è veramente una persona fantastica, si può contare su di lui per qualsiasi cosa sempre molto disponibile e gentile

We had an amazing time in Santa Teresa. Maor was the best host we could have imagined. He provided us with lots of tips for activities and restaurants in the area, even arranged surf lessons for us. The house was really beautiful. The surroundings are breathtaking and the house itself was super clean and even the pictures do not do it justice. Would recommend to stay here to everyone that wants to have a good time in Santa Teresa. Thank you Maor!!

Loved being in the middle of the jungle here away from the hustle and bustle.  Trees everywhere, gorgeous pool!

The house is very comfortable , spacious and very well equipped. Everything is quite new. The environment is wonderful, quiet, with spectacular flora and fauna. The perfect pool, very clean and very nice temperature, with a spectacular view of the surroundings. Terrace with very practical dining and terraces in two of the bedrooms with an excellent view. Good outdoor showers for the arrival of the beach. Excellent place to park well protected. The rooms are very comfortable, with good A/C systems and fans. The common area is the best of the house, a kitchen integrated with the living room, with a good TV to watch family movies at the end of the day. We loved the house!!!!!

La casa es muy cómoda , espacios amplios y muy bien equipada. Todo bastante nuevo. El entorno es maravilloso, tranquilo, con una flora y fauna espectacular. La piscina perfecta , muy limpia y temperatura muy agradable, con una vista del entorno espectacular. Terraza con comedor muy practico y terrazas en dos de las habitaciones con excelente vista. Buenas duchas exteriores para la llegada de la playa. Excelente lugar de estacionamiento bien protegido. Las habitaciones son muy cómodas, con buen sistemas de aire acondicionado y ventiladores. El área común es de lo mejor de la casa, una cocina integrada con la sala de estar, con una buena televisión para ver películas en familia al final del día. Nos encantó la casa!!!!!

Maor was an amazing host. Casa Macaw is a beautiful and peaceful place to create memories with your family. We enjoyed the home very much and will be returning. We’ve stayed at many places in the area and this villa ranks at the top. Do yourself a favor and visit Casa Macaw. The property is perfect for slowing down and enjoying life. Pura Vida!

Hosts were friendly and responsive, the house was very clean and smelled terrific! Getting there was pretty easy. The host helped us with our laundry no charge, (we didn’t have any clean cloths) And the sounds of the jungle was exactly what we needed. There was an issue with the main gate. But the host arrived in 15 minutes and explained the issue. Other than that. Incredible experience, especially walking from the house to the mini waterfall and natural pools. And having lunch and sunset at the restaurant above the house. Highly recommended. Love to come again. Thanks MOJO

The house was estonishing... we arrived after dark and it felt like the middle of noware although it was close to the main road and the vista de olas .. But as soon as the gate opened the house was welcoming. Everything felt brand new and everything was functional.hot outdoor showers made you want to shower only outside. we got there without water but The house had filtered water in the fridge minibar so that was a nice surprise. The internet had slow moments sometimes but nothing too terrible... The tanning beds by the pool didnt have a matress wich was nececcary! The owner said its beeing remade. But the over all experiance with the 2 defferent types of monkey families that came by to eat from the banana trees surrounding the pool in just two nights that we were there was more than what we had hoped for the price we paid The host was very responsive and kind. We asked were we can buy a few things for the kids. And he brought them (probably belonged to his kids). P.s we needed 4×4.

New house ,everything was perfect very style house with peaceful setup of the outdoor and jungle combined. The photos was accurate to the photos that showed on the listing , and as describe , very neat and clean. I think I was the first guests there , the host very friendly and welcome. Highly recommended
