Rick

Cortina de Estrella is a magnificent place to stay. Unbelieveable views and amenities and sophistricated finishes to the home. Beyond that, Rick is an amazing host. Clear communication, prompt responses, knowledgable of the area (Poza de Diablo is a sight to see!) and very personable. We booked this reservation two years ago and he held it for us with no qualms or increases in charges. If you are looking for a good place in the Uvita you need to look no further than Cortina de Estrella.

Rick's house is truly paradise. It is extremely private with stunning views of the jungle, mountains and the Pacific ocean. I can not type words to describe this house. Rick was also a perfect host who helped us out several times with information about the house and the area. My family enjoyed staying for 10 days here. Everything was perfect.

Great place. One of our top places we have stayed; an experience of a lifetime. All the walls open up to bring the jungle into the home. Lots of cool birds right outside our bedroom window. Very spacious with plenty of room for family and friends. As others have noted Rick is a great guy. Highly recommend.

Such a great stay at Rick’s! We were two families and made the best of the area, while also finding time for chill days. We all loved the view, the birds, the pool and the vibe. Rick was a great host, taking care of us throughout! A great vay-cay!

Beautiful house, great for a family or 2 to 3 couples. Host (Rick) is awesome, and very accessible. The house is a great location, and we loved spending time in the backyard river.

Ricks house is a jewelery! He lives there by himself most of the year which makes the kitchen be the best we had in our many houses here. The location is outstanding, between jungle, waterfall (dont miss this!), oceanview and proximity to Uvita and Dominical. We easily went to all the many beaches around and enjoyed the best sleep of our whole trip cause the climate being a little up in the mountains was just perfect.iI personally enjoyed the architecture of the house so much. It is such a well thought, high quality construction and design. the high eilings of more than 4 meteres, the glasspartitions that can be set apart, the well kept garden and fruits that the guests can just harvest - WOW!

Rick’s home is beautifully located just far enough away to be secluded and just close enough to be within reach of the local stores, restaurants, and beaches!! The home was perfect for our large family and Rick was so accommodating when anything came up. He is friendly and informative. He is help was a valuable part of our trip. We highly recommend his home to anyone or family looking to have a perfect experience while in the South Pacific part of Costa Rica! We are so grateful we found his home for our Christmas vacation!

Excellent house and location, Rick is very nice and kind with the treatment, an area with many natural surprises!

Rick’s home is an amazing marriage of nature and style. The “yard” is jungle and the interior is modern and clean. The local wildlife is readily visible through the glass walls. The only thing nicer than the home was Rick’s hospitality. He’s a man of many talents; always happy to provide help and recommendation. We highly recommend his home!

Great house. Lovely views and very well equipped. Had a great time with the family

Ricks place was truly one of a kind. Unbelievable location, pool, view and wildlife. Waking up in the morning was really magical and relaxing listening to the jungle sounds. The private trail and access to the nearby river really makes this over the top. It's about 15 from the nearest road with a 4x4. So, if you're looking for the ultimate jungle location this it!!! Thank you Rick.
