Very beautiful, modern, contemporary house and excellent location, despite looking relatively new in terms of cleanliness, such as stained or not thoroughly cleaned toilets, bedding too... Good place to rest, its wonderful nature and the very clean and cozy pool!

My husband and I spent 3 fabulous weeks at Casa Naturista. I have to say it has earned its name. Absolutely well appointed house surrounded by nature and wild life. When we were not exploring the area on our bikes, we spent most of our time on the front porch, reading, playing cards or just listening to the birds and howler monkeys. The house provided us with comfortable bedding, hot water shower with a view and the kitchen had everything we needed. AC and the fans in every room and on the porch provided much needed cooling. The pool was the icing on the cake. So refreshing and tastefully designed. Last but not least, our co host Carlos made our stay so relaxing and worry free by responding to our questions with the speed of light. Thank you Dr Jen and the team for an unforgettable experience. For allowing us to be in your home and providing us with such comfort.

Location is great and the house is pretty with a nice pool. The only thing is there were too many cockroaches. Bugs are normal in those areas but finding multiple cockroaches in your bedroom including in the pillows and between the sheets is disgusting - I would suggest doing a pest control as this is very unfortunate for such a nice location.
Host Response
sorry to hear about the cockroaches. It happens once or twice a year during having rains they find their way inside but on the one occasion it happened to me I was able to keep it to a minimum when I've kept all the screendoors closed. Had i know I would gladly have sent my property manager out to taken care of it.

This place is truly in the jungle! Carlos was a pleasure to deal with. Beautiful lush surroundings, lots of privacy, modern amenities, big porch ideal for family gatherings, nice sized rooms. Would consider staying here. Only thing I would change is the height of the queen size bed - too low to the ground. Also, property shows signs of water stain/possible mold on roof in both bathrooms that I hope they will rectify soon. Other than that, this place was great!
Host Response
happy to hear you had a wonderful visit. the house will be shut down all of next week to address recent water leaks, pool repairs etc. I apologize we weren't able to get it done before your visit.

Casa Naturista has become our go-to place whenever we’re in the area. Every stay feels like a return home—peaceful, grounding, and beautifully connected to nature. The space is designed with intention, offering comfort, privacy, and the soothing sounds of the jungle. We always leave feeling renewed and more present. From the fresh air and bird songs to the mindful energy of the property, this is more than just a stay—it’s an experience. Highly recommended for anyone looking to unplug, reconnect, and truly rest. We’re already looking forward to our next stay.

We had a beautiful stay at Dr. Jen’s place with my little family. The space was clean, peaceful, and surrounded by the sounds of nature. My family especially loved jumping into the pool on hot afternoons and then winding down by listening to the rain as we quietly drifted off to sleep. The home had everything we needed, and we really appreciated the thoughtful eco-conscious details. It felt safe, calming, and perfectly tucked away while still close to everything we wanted to explore. Highly recommend this stay for anyone looking to relax, reconnect, and enjoy Costa Rica’s beauty. We’ll definitely be back! It’s our third time staying here, so definitely we will be back. 😉

It's my second time in this house and it doesn't disappoint. It's an ideal environment for sharing. Not to mention that it is very well equipped for what you need, clean and always tidy. Super accessible and very attentive hosts in real time.

Casa Naturista was fantastic! The veranda in the lush garden is just perfect for quiet relaxation. The location is great if you want to be away from people and noise. If you don't have a car it's about a 40 minute walk or a $6 Uber ride into town. Host is very responsive.

We had 10 wonderful days at Casa Nauturista! It is in a beautiful, peaceful setting surrounded by the jungle and sounds of Costa Rica. We watched the monkeys from the pool, sloths on our walks and birds abound. The house was exactly what we needed and the outdoor space is awesome. We spent almost all of our time on the covered deck when we weren’t exploring the surround beauty for Puerto Viejo. The kitchen had everything we needed and the use of the BBQ was a nice addition as well. Would recommend this property if you are looking for a beautiful setting in paradise.

Well, we like it unbelievably in a holiday beach house, on a Sunday at 6pm he asked us to download the music we had in the pool because of neighbor complaints

Our stay at Casa Naturista was wonderful! The home is lovely well set up with comforts of home. The location was easy to access, the electronic fence was a nice unexpexted convenience, and car port a bonus! The grounds are well maintained and gorgeous to look at from the pool and patio areas. The outdoor living area is amazing, lots of seating to enjoy all the sounds and views of the nature. The pool was perfect place to cool off and well maintained. The staff quiet and efficient. Thank you Dr Jens and the entire team!! We would recommend this property to anyone looking for a place in the area. The neighborhood is beautiful and close to the beach and town for shopping, groceries, restaurants and activities- something for everyone. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Casa Naturista exceeded all our expectations. The house is located in a quiet and safe place, only a few steps from the beach. We really enjoyed the private pool and spacious garden. The kitchen is fully stocked so we were able to prepare our own meals. The host was very nice and gave us great recommendations for places to visit. We will definitely be back!

Staying at Casa Naturista is one of the best experiences we had and without a doubt my family and I would stay here again! The photos do not do the place justice it is impressive to see the house surrounded by nature and listen to the animals every morning, we love that the property had so much privacy and that the noises of the city would not be heard, but in turn it was just a few minutes from the beaches, supermarkets and restaurants The house is fully equipped for everything you need and even provide more things that for us were incredible, the house and pool were completely clean and in very good condition The communication with the team was always quick and effective, they are very friendly in resolving all your questions as soon as possible and we love the whole list of recommendations they gave us from the area No doubt the words do not reach to express how beautiful the property is and around!!!

A small place surrounded by nature, perfect for relaxing, it feels like inside the forest but is very close to Puerto Viejo and close to the beaches. The only thing that affected us a little was the noise of the neighboring construction but otherwise everything was excellent.

Dr Jens and his team were very helpful and responsive to all questions and requests for suggestions. It was a jungle paradise complete with a well maintained pool and a large porch for relaxing outside. The beach was close by and parking was easy. Having breakfast on the porch listening to the howler monkeys was a treat!

Very nice the casita, the host quite attentive to answer, however on the ground at par they were doing a construction and the men only saw next to us, we did not have privacy or feel calm being in the pool. The bathroom has windows without privacy (you can see in the photos), but that is already in the taste of each one.

The house meets expectations, as seen in the photos, only that at the same time as the house they are building and there is a lot of noise all day, there is also no privacy on the property since the workers can see everything that one does in the house because the doors of the main entrance are made of glass and when I was they were working on the roof of the construction, same situation happens with the pool, and the host does not mention anything at the time of booking. Additionally, the garage has no roof and the trees what are nearby otsn a fruit that hits and stains the car.
Host Response
I'm sorry you had a bad experience. the construction next to the house has been going for many months and I'm sure you understand that we don't know when In the process that they are going to do the roof etc. the builder is a friend of mine and has done a great job keeping noise to a minimum and we hasn't had any complaints until your stay. I did speak with him as soon as you mentioned the issue. however they had to finish the roof to keep up with the schedule. Also the listing didn't mention covered parking. however I've since had a carport installed.

Wow! I don’t know where to begin. First off, Dr. Jens communication was excellent from the time I inquired up until the day I arrived. The place itself is absolutely beautiful. I call it the Little, Big house. I enjoyed my morning walk to the grocery store or to catch a tuk tuk to town. Two of our days we walked to town on the black beach. The house is equipped with everything you need. The pool was one of my favorite features. I got in it everyday of my stay. A morning or evening splash is amazing! The bedrooms with their own private bathrooms is so perfect. This place is worth a stay. If you don’t have a car, no problem a bike will get you there as well although I chose to take a tuk tuk back from town. Either way, it’s only a 15 min. walk to the entrance of the community. You can choose to take a tuk tuk, bike or walk thereafter. The pictures on the app don’t do justice for this place! Thank you Dr. Jens for allowing me to stay at your place!

This is a very beautiful home. I would Have to say that the pictures don’t do this home justice. It’s a great design, very clean, secluded but very close to the beach, restaurants and stores. If you are visiting Playa Negra you have to stay here. Stop looking and book if it’s available. First night there we even saw a family of Monkeys playing in the trees and we didn’t even need a tour guide. 😂 I promise you will not regret staying here.

My beautiful family of three enjoyed the peaceful mornings, observing the natural environment of wildlife and dipping in the pool to cool off after a hot day! Playa Negra has healing components that Dr. Jens location being nestled right in the middle of it, will sure be beneficial for your stay in paradise. Carlos and ATA were icing on the cake as they were very responsive to the needs of the property! A must see!

The house is located in a very nice garden and you can see toucans, sloths and monkeys up close. It is close to Puerto Viejo and the many beaches, but you need a car or at least a bike. There is a very nice large terrace and in the bedrooms there is air conditioning and fans. The communication with Owen and the owner was always great and everything was explained very well. We loved that! Also the great canister of water, which we received as a welcome. We had a very nice time there!
