Home in Tarcoles

The house is very nice and comfortable. It has an amazing view. We had a great time as a family. And Diana and Natalie were very attentive.

La casa muy linda y cómoda . Tiene una vista increíble . La pasamos muy bien en familia . Y Diana y Natalie fueron muy atentas.

We had a great time! We had excellent service.

La pasamos muy bien. Tuvimos una excelente atención.

the house was great felt like home just alot of bugs..lol

The House was extremely beautiful and clean! Diana was easy to communicate with and EXTREMELY helpful with planning activities and transportation. The house is located downhill in the mountain top and our driver couldn’t make it down hill so we walked up and down a steep hill everyday! Jaco is about 40-1hour away without traffic. If you are looking for something relaxing and pristine I would recommend this home! ❤️

We had a great time, it's an amazing place with a beautiful panoramic view. The house is very functional and very well-equipped. We were able to communicate with Diana during our stay, she is responsive and gives us lots of advice. The path to access the house is very steep, it is preferable to have a high car, 4/4 style. I highly recommend it, we loved it.

Nous avons passé un excellent séjour, c’est un lieu incroyable avec un vue panoramique magnifique. La maison est très fonctionnelle et très bien équipé. Nous avons pu communiquer avec Diana pendant notre séjour, elle est réactive et nous donne de nombreux conseils. Le chemin pour accéder à la maison est très pentu, il est préférable une voiture haute, style 4/4. Je conseille fortement, nous avons adoré.

Beautiful location, birds did not disappoint. Wonderful panoramic view

Casa Cielo was the perfect place to experience the best of Costa Rica! The location couldn’t be better—just a short drive from the airport, close to a great grocery store, and within easy reach of beaches, waterfalls, hiking, and ziplining adventures. The home itself is beautifully designed and so comfortable, with breathtaking ocean and mountain views that made every sunrise and sunset unforgettable. We loved relaxing in the pool after a day of exploring, listening to the sounds of nature and taking in the scenery. The hosts were outstanding, providing thoughtful touches and great local recommendations that made our stay even better. Casa Cielo truly felt like our own private paradise—we can’t wait to come back!

The house is just as described, the pool and view are incredible, the kitchen has everything you need and more to prepare meals. The description says that a 4x4 is needed, however you can leave the car before arriving at the house and it is super safe to move things to the house since it is very close to where you leave the car.

La casa es tal cual como se describe, la piscina y vistada son increíbles, la cocina tiene todo lo necesario y más para que prepares las comidas. En la descripción dice que se necesita 4x4 sin embargo se puede dejar el auto antes de llegar a la casa y es super seguro de trasladar las cosas a la casa ya que esta muy cerquita de donde deje el automóvil.

The words can’t describe the beauty of this home ! The house is great for family with kids we loved every minute of it . The kids enjoyed the pool so mi ch fun . The house is on the steep hill but my husband didn’t had a problem with driving it ( I would ) but for my husband was  so much fun 😅.. we had lemurs ,monkeys ,parrots and other birds in our back yard it was so much fun watching them . The place is super safe and the view of the ocean is amazing highly recommend this house

Wonderful place to relax and take in beautiful views! The house was clean and laid out nicely with all the necessary amenities. There is a somewhat major road close by so when you’re outside, it’s not totally quiet. That didn’t bother us though, we spent plenty of time in the beautiful pool! We enjoyed how private the surrounding area was but yet a 30 minute drive took you to all the ‘city living.’ We were very lucky to see several white faced monkeys across from our house! We would absolutely recommend staying here, it’s well worth it!

Amazing place. Very picturesque and clean. Definitely would visit again.

A beautiful house with an unbeatable view!

Una casa preciosa con una vista inmejorable!

Very nice place, amazing view and very well-equipped. The way up is a bit tricky, but other than that everything was very good.

Muy lindo el lugar, increíble vista y muy bien equipado. El camino de subida si es un poco complicado, pero fuera de eso muy bien todo.

Improve the location on Waze and Google Maps, it tends to get lost. It's very far from a beach and the pool was green and the jacuzzi jets don't work Everything else was great

Mejoren la ubicacion por waze y google maps, tiende a perder, esta muy lejos de una playa y la piscina estaba como verde y no funciona los chorros del jacuzzi En todo lo demas super bien

It has a great view. Lizards and birds came to visit every day. We enjoyed the stay. The button on the range hood still needs to be repaired. We will be happy to come back. Pura vida.

Es hat eine tolle Aussicht. Jeden Tag kamen Echsen und Vögel zu besuch. Wir haben den Aufenthalt genossen. Der Knopf bei der Abzugshaube sollte noch repariert werden. Wir kommen gerne wieder. Pura vida.

We had a wonderful stay. Seen a monkey in the distance and lots of birds. We loved the pool and the beautiful views:

It was a great place to stay and we really enjoyed it as a group!

Our stay was absolutely amazing! The house is exactly as described and the sunset on the pool are unforgettable. Upon arriving we were nervous  heading up the mountain but as soon as we walked in we knew we chose the perfect place. The natural life surroundings were also an amazing experience and the beach was only a few minutes away. High recommend and will hopefully be going back soon!

We had good time! The host was very responsive to issues as they arose and quick to fix them! Definitely going to want a vehicle that sits a little higher from the ground than an average sedan.

The house is very nice, with spectacular views to the sea and the Río Tárcoles. The house is spacious, well distributed and equipped. The comfortable rooms and the very nice pool. It has everything you need for a few days of relaxation.

La casa es muy bonita, con vistas espectaculares al mar y al Río Tárcoles. La casa es amplia, bien distribuida y equipada. Las habitaciones cómodas y la piscina muy bonita. Tiene todo lo necesario para unos días de relajación.

This residence is exactly as listed and described. The staff here was amazing and very responsive. Very close to Jaco beach and an amazing restaurant a couple minutes walk away from this house. Breath taking views that offer relaxation and meditation due to the peaceful atmosphere. Highly recommend booking this AIRBNB! Thank you for everything again it was a pleasure staying at your beautiful house!

Everything excellent, just checking the outside grill should be clogged because it doesn't  work very well.

Excelente todo, solo revisar la parrilla exterior debe estar obstruida porque no  funciona muy bien.

I had an amazing stay at this Airbnb in Tarcoles! The view of the ocean was absolutely breathtaking, especially during sunrise and sunset. The peaceful sounds of tropical birds added a magical touch to the experience, making it the perfect place to relax and unwind. The property was clean, comfortable, and well-equipped with everything I needed. The hosts were incredibly welcoming and responsive, providing great recommendations for local activities and dining. If you’re looking for a serene getaway surrounded by nature, this is the place to be. I can’t wait to come back!

100% recommended is a beautiful spot the spotless house and the unsurpassed views of the place!! It's definitely a place I'm going to repeat !! And host Diana made us feel like we were home ! Perfect on the weekend !

100% recomendado es un lugar hermoso la casa impecable y las vistas del lugar insuperables !! Definitivamente es lugar que voy a repetir !! Y la anfitriona Diana nos hizo sentir como sí estuviéramos en casa ! Perfecto el fin de semana !

The house is just as you can see in the photos! Excellent communication from Diana. Everything is very good, recommended!

La casa es tal cual se ve en las fotos! Excelente comunicación de Diana. Todo muy bien, recomendada!

We had a great relaxing time at Casa Cielo! The house was very clean and as described on the site. We did not utilize the bottom floor bedroom, mostly bc we are scary! We also used chef she suggested, Bruno served an awesome dinner for us on the night of arrival. Wi-Fi connection is great despite being far out. We were able to watch streaming TV with no issues. The access road to the house is tricky and is not for the weak. We enjoyed ourselves nonetheless! Would recommend staying here, about 20-30 minutes to Jaco.

The place was amazing, the reviews regarding the sunrise & sunset did NOT disappoint! it was beautiful, would recommend & would definitely stay again! Thanks for making our Costa Rican experience what it was, you all are greatly appreciated!

The house is beautiful. Very clean and homey feeling. It was plenty of room for my family and I. The views from the back porch are beautiful. The host are very responsive and give plenty of local recommendation. Our overall stay was a 10/10. The house is a good distance from a lot of things. About 1h from San Jose and about 35mins from Jaco (which is where we spent most of our time). The house is down a very steep hill, in this case most drivers will not drive down the hill. I would recommend renting a 4x4 vehicle.

We absolutely loved Case Cielo.  All aspects of the house were amazing, as was the infinity pool leading to an incredible view.  Navigating in the hills and driveway took a bit of getting used to, but the stay was more than worth it.  Both Diana and her assistant Natalie were wonderful hosts.  They provided an amazing "vacation guide" that provided extensive details of activities in the local area.   We would absolutely stay there again.

You definitely need a 4x4 but it’s only an hour away from Manuel Antonio so it’s definitely worth staying here plus being in the pool during the sunsets it’s was a dream come true

Love love love everything about it! Diana was great in every aspect!

A very good place to stay with family! The house is just as it is in the photos. Very happy with our stay.

Muy buen lugar para hospedarse en familia! La casa es tal cual se encuentra en las fotos. Muy felices con nuestra estadía.

We had a amazing stay... Highly recommended

Our stay was absolutely perfect! We were travelling as a group of 7 and had all the space we needed for our large group. The views from the patio were absolutely spectacular and the beds were very comfortable. There are lots of birds to be seen from the patio if you sit quietly. I can’t stress enough the importance of having the right vehicle to get up the hill, but once you get used to it, it’s an easy drive. Diana was so responsive before and during our trip and had great recommendations. If you have the chance and are fit enough, drive roughly 5 KMs further up the hill and go hike the Bijagual falls. It’s demanding but absolutely worth it once you get to the waterfalls. We would stay here again no questions asked!

My friends & I stayed at Diana’s airbnb for my birthday trip & we had a blast.  Diana is such a great host I definitely wouldn’t mind coming back

We had a great time. This is a beautiful house, with a wonderful pool, lots of space, amazing view and birds flying around. Unfortunately it is far from amenities and towns, and the road to get to the house is heart-stopping for those not used to driving on mountainous roads. We were ok as we had a heavy 4X4 and are experienced drivers. The pool and views are worth it. Beautiful country!

The house was incredible!!! We got lost on the first day but Natalie was so helpful in getting us back to the house. They were so responsive and helpful. Helped coordinate a chef to come to the house to cook dinner and all the recommendations were amazing!!

Casa Cielo was so beautiful! The pictures truly do not do it justice. I went with a group of 7 and we absolutely loved our stay. Diana and Natalie helped me find activities to do during our stay (we ziplined, drove ATVs, rode horses and visited Tortuga Island). They also provided us with a great driver for the stay who was super responsive and available to us for all rides we needed. They really made our stay so easy for us on top of the fact that the Airbnb itself is truly perfect. The open spaces were great for our group. The pool was incredible and the best part is THE VIEW!! It was beautiful at all times of the day!

The house is situated in a quiet place and has a very nice view, I think it's important to know that if many people go there are two rooms that are outside the house. Diana communicated very well and helped us resolve some issues that came up with us.

La casa está situada en una lugar tranquilo y con una vista muy linda. Creo que es importante saber que si van muchas personas hay dos cuartos que quedan externos a la casa. Diana se comunicó muy bien y nos ayudó a resolver algunos inconvenientes que se nos presentaron.

This house has a spectacular view, it's really beautiful. Yes, access is very difficult, an extremely steep street so a good vehicle is required to get there quietly. Luckily it didn't rain for us. The owners took care of every concern and issue as soon as possible so is that thank you. I don't put the best rating because paying some of these prices one expects everything to be spotless, but we had some drawbacks like bad drain odors, power outages, wifi disconnection ( and without wifi there is very bad signal) and that there was no cooking utensils for all guests, so there was a way to take turns to eat. I reiterate that I do not fail to thank you for your willingness to resolve everything as soon as possible.

Esta casa tiene una vista espectacular, es realmente hermosa. Sí es muy difícil el acceso, una calle extremadamente empinada por lo que se requiere de un buen vehículo para lograr llegar tranquilo. Por suerte no nos llovió. Los dueños atendieron cada inquietud y problema tan pronto como fue posible así es que eso se agradece. No pongo la mejor calificación porque al pagar algo de estos precios uno espera que todo salga impecable, pero tuvimos algunos inconvenientes como malos olores en desagüe, cortes de luz, desconexión del wifi( y sin wifi hay muy mala señal) y que no había utensilios de cocina para todos los huéspedes, por lo que había que hacer turnos para comer. Reitero que no dejo de agradecer la disposición a solucionar todo a la brevedad.

Diana’s home was beautiful the view is amazing. We had a small hiccup at the beginning but she was fixed the issue immediately and was very easy to get a hold of. She helped us booked excursions (atv and tortuga island) which was both AMAZING. Also the private chef she recommended was fantastic. She does let you know about the location and hill, a 4x4 is definitely recommended or she is also great a lot assisting with local transportation. We loved the home and Diana was very helpful is making our vacation memorable.

The place was lovely and Natalie and Diana were very helpful. The only reason I am not giving 5 starts to this place is because there is an exposed pipe in the pool with immense suction power. We were not warned about it and it is so close to the stairs that it surprised one of our friends by sucking them with such intensity that it caused a bruise. I feel that since it has not been adequately covered for safety, a fair warning would've sufficed. Other than that, we were very happy with the place.

Just returned from a week long group trip with friends. Diana was an amazing host that went above and beyond to help us when we were unable to get the rental cars we had reserved at the airport. She was extremely responsive and great to work with, definitely made the trip better! The house itself is exactly like the pictures. The view is tremendous, the house was very clean and comfortable for the 7 adults we had on the trip. I HIGHLY recommend the personal chef one night, it was the most amazing meal and everyone was extremely happy! Nice private, quiet area to relax and recharge. Lots of wildlife to be seen, watched and heard. Great place for people who prefer to be away from the hustle and bustle but close enough that it's not a burden to grab groceries or do a little shopping.

Diana’s place is beautiful and exactly as described. She went out of her way to recommend some activities in the area, and was also very clear and thorough with her instructions. Very convenient location, would recommend to anyone visiting Costa Rica!

If your coming to Costa Rica, look no further Diana’s place is perfect for the whole family. Beautiful home with all the at home feeling and vibes. The view was picture perfect and the privacy of the home - felt like we were on a secluded island. The house was spotless clean. I can’t put in words how responsive and friendly Diana was. She almost helped me plan my entire trip while I was there. She had great suggestions and always answered all questions within the day (1-3 hours). If I ever go back to that area of Costa Rica that is where we will stay.  Thanks again for all your help and making our trip unforgettable - Pura Vida!!!

I stayed at Diana’s to celebrate my birthday early and it exceeded expectations! The views are absolutely beautiful and accommodated all of us comfortably. Lots of pantry space for our groceries and an amazing pool overlooking the mountains. I would stay again and recommend Diana’s to anyone visiting Tarcoles or any surrounding areas.

The house was very clean and well kept. The location and views are beautiful. Close to Jaco, restaurants, and supermarket. The private chef cooked up some delicious meals. Diana is an awesome host. She quickly helped us with any questions and also helped with booking some activities. Would definitely recommend staying at this location.

Amazing place , amazing host , amazing location ! Diana was amazing and very attentive ! House  was very clean! Please stay at this place it is amazing !

Great place, beautiful house and outstanding ocean view.

Great experience overall. Loved the house and how neat and clean everything was. View at this house is AMAZING. Totally recommend it. ☺️

This place is amazing!!! As soon as you drive in the home is beautiful and modern. Once you open the front door your automatically transported paradise!!! The infinity pool is the main thing you see once you in the home the view from 2 upstairs bedrooms are breath taking you can see the pool, jungle the ocean it was a dream this place... We had a car which made it easy to drive up and down the hill from where the property was located. We bought groceries cooked and enjoyed the home. We brought our family which consisted of 3 adults 2 kids(ages 3, 4). My kids had so much fun in the infinity pool and lounge chairs, beds were comfortable and the place was spotless. Overall, our family was very comfortable and felt safe in this home! Will stay again a beautiful place with amazing views!!!

This home is BEAUTIFUL!!!!!! Perfect for my group of 7, more than enough room. The host is Phenomenal. She recommended some excursion and we did the full one and it was the BEST. Host communicates really well and fast responses. The view of the backyard is breathtaking. It’s unreal. So magical. Bbq grill works well. Pool was clean . Rooms were clean. Kitchen was fully equipped with utensil pots pans plates cups and bowls. Every room had towels. Clean bed sheets. TV is a smart TV so you can connect youtube and Netflix. I now know what the reviews mean about the hills and steep getting to the house, luckily we had a SUV. Will definitely recommend this home to anyone that needs to get away and just need to relax ! PURA VIDAAAA!

Diana was very helpful and quick to respond with not only the house but arranging excursions and transportation.  The chef she recommended prepared 3 delicious dinners for us.  The home was well kept and looked as advertised.  As mentioned, 2 bedrooms are only accessible from a stairwell off the back patio.  We just had 2 people sleep on the couch instead.  Though there was a power outage due to heavy rains upon our arrival, the electricity came back on on its own and we had no other issues with water or electricity the rest of our stay.  In fact, if anything, the AC worked too well.  We almost forgot we were in a rainforest.

The house in general was great! The pool was amazing! The view was incredible! The host was a pleasure to work with. There communication was timely and clear. We definitely recommend this house for your stay in Costa Rica #PURAVIDA

Absolutely GORGEOUS house and location! The views from the house are impeccable. I would highly recommend staying here. The hosts were easy to communicate with and very helpful when we got lost trying to find the house. The house is on a mountain and roads aren’t the greatest so I would definitely recommend a 4x4 or a car you feel is safe to drive in. The only downside is the bug situation in my opinion, so be mindful to keep all outside doors shut behind you. There were a couple small lizards and brown crickets. All in all stunning house in Costa Rica!

Lovely place, incredible view! Diana was extremely responsive and helpful. We had a great time.

Amazing views and super close to San Jose.  Unique setting not too far from Jaco, just extremely convenient to San Jose.  Great for an ultra-relaxing getaway without much noise or distraction.  House is comfortable and well maintained.  Good value for price.

Casa Cielo is such a phenomenal space for your next trip to Costa Rica! The modern and spacious aesthetic of the unit is extremely welcoming as soon as you step into the door. The views of the ocean are simply breathtaking. There is a wondrous double rainfall shower in the king-sized room right near the pool that was heavenly! It was great to wake up to the views of the island and listen to all of the wildlife. Diana was continuously communicative and helpful throughout our stay and even recommended some fantastic excursions around the area. One thing that one should be aware of is the amount of insects and creepy crawlers that can sometimes be attracted to the pool area. We had a workout amongst 5 girls trying to safely capture a tarantula that found its way inside the home (although we were very careful to close the screens and not leave food/drinks out) and trying to ward off army ants one night from our clothes while we were in the pool. Nonetheless, Diana was gracious enough to send someone out to treat the area with bug spray which made things much better. She was continuously communicative and helpful throughout our stay and even recommended some fantastic excursions around the area. Lastly, be aware that you NEED a 4x4 vehicle to access the unit as it sits on a VERY steep hill, but we opted to have transportation throughout our stay. We cannot wait to come back and recommend you to book Dave & Diana's place!

This places view is ridiculous and amazing !!!!!!!! No complaints

Diana is a great host. The house is beautiful, amazing views and great pool. The house is very clean and has a lot of rooms. Diana was always responsive to anything we needed. The only downside is transportation and how steep the hill is. Other than that we loved the house and would stay again.

I gave this 3 stars (average) because the host (Diana) was very responsive/ helpful during the planning and during our stay. The wife wanted to travel to Costa Rica for her 40th birthday with close friends. 10 adults total. Planning a trip for 10 people was very challenging. Now that I've stayed at the house, here are a few things I learned. This house should only be for 6 adults....not 10. There are 3 bedrooms inside the house. The other bedrooms are out the back door and down some dark stairs. Both of the outside bedrooms have sliding doors and only lock from the inside. One of the outside bedrooms has its own bathroom. The other bedroom (the one with 2 twin beds) has only the beds and 2-night stands. No wardrobe closet or anything. If you have to use the restroom in the middle of the night, you have to either go to the other outside bedroom or go back upstairs to the inside of the house. Hopefully, the folks inside the house don't lock you out by locking the sliding door that gets you back in the house. The water pressure and hot water were not consistently working while we were there. I am not sure if this is a common issue with the house, but it was the main issue we had. At one point, the water went completely out. Apparently, there was some sort of issue with the water supply company that required service. It was rather difficult trying to keep the others entertained with all these issues with the house. The host sent 5 gallons of water and took care of our breakfast for the inconvenience. 5 Stars to her for that. I also should mention that you are not allowed to flush toilet paper in any of the toilets inside the house. I'm not sure why exactly but that was another obstacle for us to deal with. There is NO UBER/LYFT in this part of the city. We spent way more money then we needed to on transportation alone. My suggestion is to rent a car instead if you are comfortable driving outside your country. You definitely need 4 wheel drive because it is impossible to get to the house since it is on top of a hill. If you decide to use a driving service to pick you up, make sure they have 4x4. We had 1 driver make us walk down the hill to him because he did not have 4x4. To sum up this review, the overall experience was ok if you can deal with the things I mentioned. The house was ok but a bit over priced for what the accommodations were like in my opinion. Hope this help.

Thank you for taking the time to leave us your review. We appreciate the feedback. We truly apologize for the water issues you had during your stay, but as you know we didn't have any control over the situation since it was the water supplier to the community that was at fault. These issues have been addressed and solved. We thank you for your patience in this matter. Regarding the subjects: Layout of the house and The lack of public transportation around the area, we aim to be very clear in our description on the location of the two bottom bedrooms and how we urge our guests to please notice that there are no UBER drivers around the area and to book transportation with plenty of time ahead to guarantee availability. However, we will double-check our listing to make the description even more clear. Not flushing the toilet is not a stand-alone issue from the house. The country's plumbing was never built to accommodate an excessive amount of toilet paper and, since many systems are septic or composting, you'll find 'toilet paper bins' in every toilet stall, all over the country. These explanations aside, we are truely sorry that you had a less than exceptional stay with us.

The place is definitely nice. The hot tub bench needs to be fixed. Diana is the best host. She helped coordinate transportation even with a short notice.

I cannot say enough about how amazing Diana is a host. She is very responsive and sooo freaking helpful. I will note the house is on top of a hill which means steep roads after the first time you will be a pro. But if not Diana is very connected and help you book a shuttle bus, I do recommend that for any night time travel. I would stay at Casa Cielo over and over again!! Please note that two of the bedrooms are only accessible through the back of the house but my family had no issues. 10/10 recommended that you book this property you will not be disappointed

Great place, amazing view and very clean, kitchen is well equipped and the rooms are very comfy.

This property is exactly as described. Absolutely beautiful! Definitely recommend. Thank you Diana for being an awesome host.

WARNING: TWO BEDROOMS ARE NOT ACCESSIBLE UNLESS YOU GO OUTSIDE. This was not stated in the listing when I booked Diana's house. When our family of 10, including elderly parents and young children, arrived after 10PM and entered the house, we did not know that to get to the other 2 bedrooms, you have to walk outside by the pool and down steep stairs in the dark, in the rain forest. Again, Diana did not say this anywhere in the listing. Additionally, one of the rooms downstairs, had a puddle, not a little bit, but a PUDDLE of sitting water and smelled wet and moldy. I immediately contacted Diana and told her that her house was NOT what I was expecting based on her listing and that my family of 10 was now going to have to split 3 rooms and the couch. Diana offered to bring the mattresses from the rooms outside and downstairs up to the main level and told me to turn on the dehumidifier to dry up the puddle and get rid of the smell. After having a miserable first night, we decided we needed a place that could accommodate our whole family without having to go out in the rain to use the restroom, go to the bedrooms or see family on the main level. Diana said she understood, said she would contact AirBNB and we agreed in messages that I would pay for two nights and she would give a full refund for the other 3 nights. When it came time to refund the 3 nights, Diana DID NOT REFUND ALL 3 NIGHTS. Instead, she refunded 2 and said that's the best she could do because she could not rebook the house. We checked in after 10PM Oct 6th and we checked out at 9AM Oct 8th. Diana was very quick to reply and the 3 bedrooms of the main level were okay, however, had I known and it was stated in the original listing that you have to go outside to access the other bedrooms, I WOULD NOT HAVE BOOKED Diana's house. Diana has since UPDATED the listing and hopefully this will not happen to anyone else. Other issues to note about the house: - The house is on a STEEP mountain. You will need a driver with a 4x4 to get up there. Arriving at night is not advised. Uber is not an option. - The pool was not cleaned and tiles are missing from the pool step/bench. The pool guy came on the 7th, but we decided not to use the pool at all. - Grill and BBQ area looked rusted and not usable. - The drainage in the showers is slow and you are literally standing in a pool of water as you shower. - The glass door shade of one of the rooms downstairs has mold on it - The drinking and wine glasses were all cloudy. I'm guessing they were clean, but we did not use them.

Verna, I'm terribly sorry your experience wasn't what you expected, we were surprised when you first told us that you did not know two of the bedrooms were outside of the house. We have had more than 55 reviews and never had one complaint about our description not being clear, however, we did update our listing just to make sure this situation never happens again. We also want to clarify that there is no need to "walk outside in the rainforest" the bottom bedrooms are to be reached by a flight of stairs located in the pool deck.  Even though our cancellation policy clearly states that "Guests can cancel up to 5 days before check-in for a full refund" We decided to refund for 2 nights because of the water puddle you found in the last bedroom, and we truly apologize for that inconvenience and take full responsibility, but all other 4 bedrooms were available and ready to use. We tried to reach you the next day to try to coordinate a housekeeping visit to address this issue, but we were unable to contact you.  Our listing does advise to rent a 4x4 vehicle "...It is advised to have a rental vehicle during your stay. Although our road is paved, it is suggested to get a 4x4, this will give you assurance on the steep mountain roads..." I believe you might have also missed this from our listing.  We can assure you that the house was thoroughly cleaned and that the pool, BBQ, and wine glasses were all ready to be used and enjoyed.

First time in Costa Rica and it was absolutely beautiful. The house was amazing and Diana was the best host! She was there to help answer any questions especially about booking transportation & excursions. This helped out a lot since it was our first time in CR. Didn’t matter what time of the day, Diana would answer my messages within an hour or so. Definitely recommend staying at casa cielo!

The stay at Casa Cielo was amazing! My friends and I had a great time and the views were amazing. The house was clean and met all expectations. Diana is a great host and was very fast and responsive at helping us with everything while we were there! The chefs were amazing as well ! Highly recommended booking

The house was amazing (view), clean, and updated ! Where do I begin? Diana was one of the best host that I’ve dealt with and I’ve travel a lot. Diana made sure we enjoyed our stay and was on demand by helping us with transportation, food, adventure ideas. Diana was prompt and bilingual 😭 my Spanish is not the best but she translated when needed. My lady and her friends enjoyed themselves and she said to me “this was the best birthday ever” and the credit goes to Diana! I highly recommend staying here. I know someone wants to find a con and the only thing I would say is if you scared of heights and bugs don’t visit Costa Rica because it’s everywhere! Thanks again Diana and 10/10 stay.

The house is better than what you see in photos. Very spacious with luxury finishes. The place is extremely private and quite It is ideal for family or friends trips. It's also close to the gam. The house is equipped with everything you need Diana is super attentive !

La casa es mejor de lo que se aprecia en fotos. Muy espaciosa con acabados de lujo. El lugar es sumamente privado y tranquilo. Es ideal para viajes de familia o amigos. Ademas esta muy cerca del gam. La casa esta equipada con todo lo que necesitas Diana es super atenta !

Great house and view. Little difficult to get to it the first time. Diana is awesome and very responsive.

Was a great home me and my family enjoyed it

Beautiful home with spectacular view. Definitely recommend a SUV type car to get up the hill to the home. 10/10 would recommend Diana’s home for your vacation. Stayed for a week and Diana was so amazing in assisting us coordinating our activities. Diana was always extremely responsive as well. Closest town (Jaco) is only about 25 minutes away and has the grocery store and several restaurants. The home is beautiful and is so peaceful and secluded. Pura Vida!

Diana’s place was beautiful overall. The pictures does this place no justice. Also she was a GREAT host. She helped book transportation and even  had connections with excursions and private chefs available for us. Be aware that Uber isn’t available in this area and If you rent a car for your stay make sure it’s 4WD so that it can make it up the steep hill that the house is located on.  Satisfied to say the least.  Would stay again!

Everything was absolutely amazing. Diana ensured that all logistics including shuttles and private chef were taken care of efficiently.

This property is amazing in every way and Diana is even better. It is very secluded and finding it was a challenge, but it all was worth it. The house is in great shape and the view is amazing.  There are plenty of restaurants and activities within 10 minutes and downtown Jaco is a hidden gem. This house allowed us the seclusion we were seeking but kept us close to the fun! It is a 5 star...book it if it is available!!

Excellent! Everything was outstanding even though we have a few issues with the WIFi. Diana was awesome🎉

The home was beautiful with spacious rooms. Diana was an amazing host and answered my many questions quickly. I recommend this beautiful home if you're looking to stay in this area.

Diana‘s house is gorgeous the views are breathtaking the house is stylish, spacious, and modern you cannot go wrong. Diana was extremely helpful our entire trip whenever we had questions or needed some assistance finding reputable activities or transportation services she did not hesitate to assist us in anyway possible day or night. If I could rate our host, our Airbnb, and our entire experience a 20 out of 10 I would!  We will be back!

A very well built house, safe, fabulous views and comfortable rooms. The equipped kitchen and all the comfortable stays. An oasis of tranquility and peace. If you want to rest and be happy looking at the Gulf of Nicoya, you will enjoy this house.

Una casa muy bien construida, segura, fabulosas vistas y cómodas habitaciones. La cocina equipada y todas las estancias cómodas. Un oasis de tranquilidad y paz. Si quieren descansar y estar felices mirando el Golfo de Nicoya vayan a disfrutar esta casa.

We couldn’t have asked for a better host!! Diana was above and beyond helpful. She answered any and all of our questions and gave us recommendations for tours, activities and covid testing locations. She even booked a couple tours for us on our behalf! The house is gorgeous and has the most beautiful view. There’s a lot of fun stuff to do near by but a car/taxi is needed. I recommend an SUV because the road to the house is steep. Would definitely book this property again!

This place was AMAZING. Came here to celebrate my birthday with friends and it was everything I expected and more! Bedrooms were just as photographed with the amazing views and size & the location was close to all the activities and excursions that we booked. The only thing to note is that there are two bedrooms (the queen and double single beds) that are located down the stairs through the outside of the terrace so it’s kind of separated from the rest of the house and also note it was kind of difficult to locate the airbnb for us being that it was our first time in Costa Rica and we arrived during the night where there wasn’t any street lights so definitely recommend arriving when there’s some sunlight if you are making the drive on your own like we did just to make its easier to locate and definitely recommend a truck or jeep rental or just utilizing her shuttle service that she offers but Diana was very fast to respond and help us locate the airbnb. The chef was AMAZING, he was so nice and food was so delicious, one of the best authentic costa rican food we had during our stay in CR so definitely recommend having him cook for you during your stay. Diana was super helpful in helping me book some of the excursions and gave me all of the info I needed in a timely manner. Will definitely be visiting this airbnb the next time I come to CR 🤩

Diana's place is amazing!! The view is spectacular. We had great sunsets every night. Tons of room for everyone to enjoy. The bedrooms were cozy. The pool area was perfect for lounging. Everytime I needed to set up an excursion, ride or asked for local advice, she answered right back and got it set up perfectly. I hope one day to be back at Diana's. Pura Vida!!!

Everything was excellent. Better than the photos.

beautiful house with an excellent view. I would definitely recommend this house to anyone visiting Costa Rica. The location is perfect and visitors can access beaches and parks within an hour. We definitely recommend that you arrive in the daylight hours to ensure you become familiar with accessing the property. It requires an experience driver and a car that can handle very steep inclines. Additionally, all appliances were up to date and in perfect working condition. Overall an excellent stay at this very beautiful house!!

It was a great property and we absolutely enjoyed our stay at this property. We only had a issue with the wifi which is due to the location of the property. Diana was very accommodating and was also quick with responses. We were able to schedule a private chef and birthday decorations for the birthday girl through Diana. She also helped us to get drinks and groceries. Diana is hands down one of the best hosts that I've worked with and she was really essential in setting us up with everything. She also helped us to schedule tours.

Hi Candice! Great to hear you guys had such a good time :) Thank you for the lovely words it was such a pleasure hosting you and your friends. Thanks for the feedback on the wifi. I'm happy to announce that since then we have been able to upgrade the wifi speed to 40mbps (this just became recently available in our area)  So this won't be an issue during your next visit ;)

beautiful home and views it all 8 of us comfortably. well equiped and host was very responsive, easy to locate. make sure you have an SUV like kind of car, very steep hill and that u get all groceries before getting there, no stores at a walking distance

Dianas place was brilliant, great value for money and great location, unreal ocean views. House was clean and welcoming, beds were comfy and the shower was great , added bonuses that Diana was great host, excellent communication , all in all the flat was a great stay and would recommend it to anyone.

Amazing place to stay with great views and great privacy! Excellent condition of the house, a paradise!

Un alojamiento increíble con grandes vistas y gran privacidad! Excelentes condiciones de la casa, un paraíso!

It's a beautiful place, with an incredible view!!

Es un lugar precioso, con una vista increíble!!

Beautiful place, Diana is very attentive to home detail. A place with a beautiful view, ideal for resting

Precioso Lugar, Diana súper atenta en casa detalle. Un lugar con una vista preciosa, ideal para descansar

The place is excellent, the house is in perfect condition in addition to having a very good view... The house is well equipped and Diana is always attentive... The internet does not work very well but we were informed of this in advance... The last 25 meters to get to the house can be quite difficult if the car is not 4x4 or if it is raining but you can leave the car a little early to avoid problems

El lugar es excelente, la casa está en perfectas condiciones ademas de que tiene una muy buena vista... La casa está bien equipada y Diana siempre atenta... El Internet no funciona muy bien pero fuimos informados de esto con anticipación.. Los últimos 25 metros para llegar a la casa pueden ser bastante complicados si el carro no es 4x4 o si esta lloviendo pero se puede dejar el carro un poco antes para evitar problemas

Super Nice place, ideal to enjoy as a family. Amazing view

Súper Lindo Lugar Ideal para disfrutar en familia Vista increíble
