La Joya del Sur

Nadiah’s place was absolutely breathtaking. Pictures truly do not do it justice. The home is situated on a mountain surrounded by jungle and overlooking the beach. Despite the secluded location, it’s only about a 8 minute drive down to the beach and the small local restaurants. Our stay was lovely and Nadiah was incredibly helpful and responsive. Pavones is a fairly secluded area so this location is great for anyone who enjoys nature, wildlife, and beautiful beach sunsets. The surf was incredible and we were even able to book a fun boat tour last minute. Will definitely return!

A beautiful place; the view is breathtaking! Super quiet, and the setting is unbeatable—surrounded by a completely natural environment, you feel immersed in it, and it's utterly relaxing! The house is beautiful, with delightful details! Excellent hosts! I appreciate all the help provided. We hope to be back soon!!!

We had a beautiful stay in Pavones—this home is truly special. The view is incredible, especially at sunset, and we saw toucans and guacamayas every day, which made it feel magical. The house is comfortable and well done—beds were great, the pool was perfect for relaxing, and the outdoor shower was a highlight. We surfed Pilón every day (about a 20-minute drive), and also loved nearby spots—La Piña has great pizza (even gluten-free), and La Choza de Gaby is absolutely delicious and worth the drive. As others have mentioned, a 4-wheel-drive vehicle is needed. We’d absolutely come back.

Since we arrived, we fell in love with the place. The view is spectacular: the jungle surrounding the house and the ocean in front, with a beautiful infinity pool. The sunsets are simply unforgettable. The house is very comfortable and has everything you need for a perfect stay. The master bedroom, with its tub and view, was one of our favorite spaces. Also, we were lucky enough to see toucans and macaws, which the whole family loved. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and got a restful night's sleep. Definitely a place that is totally worth it, especially for people like me who love sunsets!! ♥️

Our stay at Nadiah’s house was a really great experience. The view is incredible, beautiful sunset by the pool , the jungle , just stunning ! The house itself is a very well maintained space , great spaces maybe missing some cupboard in one of the room but that was the only down point …. If we had to find one . Thanks again ! We will definitely come back !

Wonderful property. Beautiful view of the sunsets. Refreshing infinity pool surrounded by a luxurious space.

We had such an amazing stay, the view was breathtaking and the house is beautiful. The house was very clean and checking in and communication was very easy. Would recommend to anyone!

Clean, comfortable and great views

Nadiah’s place looks amazing in photos but in real life it’s something else! The view is absolutely breathtaking. Property itself is thoughtfully designed, modern and airy, and comes furnished with everything you might need for your stay. We will absolutely be back here. Pool deck is the real star of the show with a nice sized pool overlooking the ocean and providing the most beautiful sunsets. Location is very private and absolutely worth the drive up. Be advised you will need a real 4x4 to get up comfortably. We rented a Land Cruiser and never had any issues on the road up. Pavones in general is my new favorite place in Costa Rica. People are friendly and living the Pura Vida! This place is free from major hotels and resorts, if you’re into supporting the local businesses like we are, you will enjoy it. We went surfing with Coco who runs a company called Cocodrone. Highly recommend him for your surfing lessons.
