The Space
Casa Cherepo is a unique Costa Rican beach villa featuring teak floors throughout. Located just a four-minute walk from the beach, this home offers all the comforts you need for a relaxing stay. Elevated within the canopy, the house provides a serene setting where you can pick fresh mangos from your rocking chair on the front porch, which is only 150 meters from the shore. The sound of rolling waves can be heard clearly from the porch, allowing you to check the surf without leaving the house.

Nestled in the treetops, Casa Cherepo immerses you in a vibrant environment shared with playful monkeys, colorful tropical birds, and stunning natural scenery. The front porch, shaded by majestic ceiba trees, offers a perfect spot to enjoy the rhythmic sound of ocean waves.
Wake up to breathtaking sunrises and the distant cheers of surfers riding impressive waves.

Mitch's place was awesome. Easy walk to the point and beautiful nature on your back porch. It felt like you were totally secluded and we had tons of awesome monkeys jumping around in the trees and even saw a toucan in the backyard. Communication was super easy and always available. The 2nd bathroom is outside FYI, but was still nice. Would recommend it and definitely stay here again.

The casa has a lot of character with all the teakwood and jungle landscaping. Felt very private. For surfers there’s a path crossing another vacant lot that takes you to the paddle out spot - about a 5 minute walk. About a 15 minute walk to town restaurants, etc…

Great location! It was a 10 minute walk from the house to the point to surf. You do have to duck under the barbed wire fence but that was no problem for us. The care taker was friendly and helpful. He left us some fruit, which was much appreciated. We loved getting to watch the monkeys from the balcony. The A/C worked great! The house was comfortable and the kitchen well stocked. I really appreciated that there was a crock pot and a coffee grinder. My only complaint was that the washing machine was broken when we were there but I understand these things happen. I would definitely stay here again.

Estadia mágica, a casa é muito aconchegante, tem um visual incrível e é muito bem localizada, a poucos passos da praia. A estrutura da casa é muito boa e o suporte do caseiro Keiner foi o melhor possível! Um dos banheiros fica do lado de fora da casa, o que não estava claro no anúncio. Tivemos alguns momentos de falta de água, devido à seca intensa na época, mas todos curtos e rapidamente resolvidos pelos anfitriões e caseiro. Recomendo e com certeza voltaremos!!

A magical stay in the tree tops a short walk from the beach! The house is built like a ship, just like the photos. The gardens are beautiful. The monkeys are adorable. And the caretaker and hosts made sure that we had everything we needed for a wonderful stay, including sharing links to restaurants, fishermen, and beach locations. We cooked most meals finding everything that we needed in the well layed out kitchen. Also loved the two showers--the outdoor one is refreshing after beach walks to get the sand off (I'm not a cold shower person, but in this climate it feels wonderful) and a good hot one indoors for shampooing. The outdoor shower also has an attached toilet and cold water sink. The indoor shower is separate from the bathroom which is handy. We don't surf, and wondered what we would do while here, but after a lot of adventures earlier in our trip, reading on the deck in the tree tops, cooking fresh fish, and walking on these beautiful, peaceful beaches was perfect.

My family had a wonderful time staying here. We were there for surfing which was in walking distance. The animal diversity was also great with excellent birding right off the balcony. The place was roomy, beautiful, and comfortable. Keiner (onsite caretaker) was fantastic and we really enjoyed our time with him. He was super helpful and available if we had any issues. The gardens were beautiful and we felt very lucky to be in such a cool spot. We really enjoyed our stay and Pavones. Would definitely come back!!

We had a wonderful stay in Mitch’s house. Localization is great, walking distance to the beach or center of the town. Pavones beach break is basically just by the fence. House was extremely cozy, very pretty and practical. Surrounded by nature, tranquility and peace. That was absolutely fantastic stay and hope we’ll be back there soon! Highly recommended to everyone!

If you’re looking for a standard vacation rental, turn back now. But if you’re the kind of traveler who feels the pulse of the Earth beneath your feet, who hears the whispers of the jungle at dawn, and who craves wild freedom — this villa is your portal. Tucked in the green heart of Pavones, this place doesn’t just sit in the jungle — it breathes with it. The wood-paneled walls felt alive, like they had stories from a thousand storms. The air was thick with life — not humidity, but vibration. Frogs chirped at night like a jungle symphony, and the howler monkeys? They’re your cosmic alarm clock — primal, unapologetic, perfect. The architecture is funky and free — open spaces, natural textures, tropical colors, and no attempt to fight the jungle… it flows with it. Big windows for starlight and moonbeams, outdoor showers that remind you you’re a creature of the wild, and a kitchen that invites you to cook barefoot. The road to get here is worth every bump!
