Villa Pochote

Hard to overstate how special this place is. Waking up surrounded by jungle — the sounds alone in the early morning are worth the trip — and the property manages to feel completely immersed in it while still being comfortable and well cared for. It’s the kind of setting you don’t want to leave, and we didn’t much. The staff were incredible. Attentive without ever hovering, quick with recommendations, and genuinely warm every single day. They made the whole stay feel effortless. The private chef experiences were a highlight. Fresh, thoughtful, beautifully done, and eating that well in that setting is something we’re still talking about. If you’re on the fence about booking those, don’t be. Would come back without hesitation.

We had an amazing stay while in Nosara. The house is gorgeous with amazing views and everything you need for the kitchen. We loved lying by the pool watching the sunset or reading early in the morning on the comfy chairs on the 3rd floor porch overlooking the ocean. It’s gets really hot on the 3rd floor landing but the master bedroom has its own mini split so it stays cold. Just keep the bedroom doors shut to keep the cold air in :). The road to get to the house is really bad with lots of potholes. We didn’t care for the drive but well worth it once you got there. I was hoping the walk to the beach would be closer. It’s a bit steep to walk up and down the gravel road but an easy drive. If you are looking for a relaxing get away with a close drive to lots of restaurants and shops this is great— 7 min drive. If you are trying to be within walking distance to the beach, stores, and restaurants I recommend staying in Playa Guiones.

Such a magical house in a magical setting! Our family was just blown away by the incredible treetop and ocean views, the surrounding wildlife and the beautiful house itself with so many thoughtful natural elements woven in. The kitchen had everything our family of 4 needed, rooms are spacious and comfortable, the town of Nosara is so close, and the host and the weeklong vacation concierge host were both so friendly and helpful. We're bringing home such good memories from our week, thank you!

From the moment we walked into Ross and Dani’s home we felt relaxed and at ease. The main floor has a spacious living and dining area with a full bathroom and laundry facilities. The space opens out onto a large patio with an infinity pool and plenty of seating and lounging, and beautiful views of the ocean. There are plenty of pool and beach towels. The kitchen is fully equipped with all the appliances and dishes and cooking tools to enjoy making meals. Full sized washer/dryer, laundry soap, and a drying rack are available as well. The second and third level bedrooms all have access to outside deck areas with the third level deck space equipped with a bbq, small fridge, eating, and lounge space. Bathrooms were spotless, plenty of available towels, and hair dryers were available. The views from each of the decks were stunning, especially during sunsets. There are plenty of wildlife to keep you entertained! From tropical birds, iguanas, squirrels, and howler monkeys, it was amazing!

Great house, exactly what we were looking for our vacation.

Ross and Dani’s home is beautifully built for the area. Walkable or short ride to beaches or town activities. Clean and spacious for the entire family. Very happy with our stay and would recommend to others.

We loved Casa Pochote!!! The view is unbelievable. The layout of the house is very function with indoor and outdoor integrate space. The kitchen is fully stoked and we had some amazing steaks grilled on the 3rd floor. My hubby took advantage of the working spaces that are on every floor. The pool is spectacular with the pochote tree providing the right amount of shade. You can see all the stars at night. The monkey tribe came to visit us and a parade of 80 howlers just kept jumping from branch to branch. The location of the house is one of our most favorite places on earth. We came to Nosara 9 years ago and this hill was the first place we went to. We definitely will look to rent this house again on our travels and we can not recommend it enough.

We were so fortunate to spend a week at Ross and Dani’s amazing villa. It has everything you want if you are looking for a wonderful beach experience: fantastic view, great swimming pool and extremely clean and practical house. Location is great in pelada: quiet whilst close to the action. We will definitely come back.

My family had a great time staying at this property. The space was comfortable nestled on a mountain with surrounding jungle. We saw howlers, iguanas, numerous different birds and other wildlife. It was extremely comfortable for our family of 5. The property managers were extremely helpful and very responsive. The property felt safe and it was close to pelada and guiones, although I do recommend a hold cart to get around (or some other vehicle. Highly recommend and we will likely stay here again.
