2BR Home in Montezuma

Danielle

Good, 3 months ago

This home was beautiful and rustic, the views were gorgeous, the pool was amazing, Lori and Jason were VERY responsive and accommodating, but we went at the start of the rainy season, and it is important to know a few things: The rainstorms bring a torrent of bugs. Hundreds. My threshold for bugs is quite high, but this was *a lot*, they were literally everywhere and always on us. There is no indoor living room, just the seating on the balcony, and there are no screens on the windows, so during (and after) the storm we just stayed in the mosquito netted bed. We got dozens of mosquito bites still. The road to the house requires 4x4, especially in the rainy season. Period. This is a very peaceful, secluded location in the jungle and only about 10 min from town. It's a lovely place, just be prepared for interaction with jungle bugs.

The house is a bit run-down, and there were an awful lot of animals in the house. We never had food leftovers lying around or windows/doors open, and yet everything was full of ant trails and the like. The fan in the lower bedroom was broken and didn't turn. The fan in the upper bedroom was very small and could not be adjusted. The pool was not as described in the pictures. The water was extremely cloudy and not filtered. The outdoor area was not well maintained, and everything was dry. The kitchen was well stocked and the terrace or balcony was very nice, and we enjoyed spending time there. In addition, the view was outstanding! Lori and Jason were always available and extremely accommodating. The communication was great!

The place is extremely beautiful, the views are amazing, the space was clean and tidy, added to the comforts provided by the house, it is an incredible option to stay, very grateful to Lori and her partner!

Thanks for your amazing review, we’re so glad you enjoyed your stay.

We enjoyed our stay at Lori and Mike's house. We had privacy and it isn't far from Montezuma or Cabuya. We were really grateful for the pool. The road is rough leading into the property but most rural roads in CR are like that. If you're driving in CR you really need a 4W drive anyway. We walked down the hill to Cedros beach and it took about 15 min.

Thank you for choosing our spot. We are so happy that you enjoyed it. Please come back

We really enjoyed our stay at Casa Los Cedros. Just the right mix of rustic jungle vibes and amenities. The view is amazing and the pool was so refreshing. I recommend getting up early enough to watch the sunrise over the ocean from the pool. Pure magic. Jason, the caretaker was very friendly and helpful but absolutely allowed us our privacy. Lori and Mike were excellent hosts and provided us with all the info we needed logistically as well as loads of recommendations for local restaurants and activities. Montezuma + Cabuya make for a great base camp to explore the region from. Plenty of restaurants to choose from and a local grocery well stocked enough to cook from home if desired. Looking forward to returning!
