Tropical Environment
Costa Rica’s tropical climate supports a wide variety of insects, lizards, rodents, and reptiles. Although the property follows a strict pest-control plan to help keep these visitors outside, occasional encounters with local wildlife are a natural part of the environment and do not constitute a breach of the rental policy.
Pool Maintenance
The maintenance team will require access to the house on pool-maintenance days.
Power and Water Supply
Because the property is located in the mountains, power outages may occasionally occur due to falling branches or other weather-related issues.
The local water supply comes from nearby springs and may also experience occasional interruptions. Guests are kindly asked to keep these possibilities in mind as part of the rural and natural experience of staying in this area.

This place was breathtaking! It’s even better than described, the pictures don’t do it justice! I loved every second of it. The hosts and team were very accommodating especially with the excursions and made sure everything was to our liking and were able to fit us in activities last minute. Such a great experience and would come back here every single time. If you have the chance to experience this please stay here.

We had the most incredible stay at this villa—truly a slice of paradise. From the moment we arrived, we were completely in awe of the breathtaking views, peaceful surroundings, and how beautifully everything was designed. Waking up each morning to the lush greenery and sounds of nature felt unreal. The villa itself is stunning, clean, and thoughtfully equipped with everything you could possibly need. Every detail felt intentional and elevated the entire experience. Whether we were relaxing, enjoying the views, or heading out for adventures, it was the perfect home base. The hosts were amazing—communicative, welcoming, and made everything seamless from start to finish. You can tell they genuinely care about their guests having an unforgettable stay. Costa Rica stole our hearts, and this villa played a huge part in that. If you’re looking for a luxurious, peaceful, and truly special getaway, this is it. We would come back in a heartbeat. Pura Vida! 🌿✨

I went with my family, and we thought the place was spectacular! The view and the surroundings look like something out of a storybook. The hosts were always attentive and gave us directions, as well as recommendations for places to visit and where to go to eat. The house is well-equipped, and everything is just like in the photos.

This Airbnb was absolutely incredible — we couldn’t get enough of the views. A 4x4 is definitely recommended for getting to the house. Our car was fully loaded with luggage on the first drive up, but taking it slow we had no issues at all. The house itself is fully equipped with everything you need. The kitchen had everything necessary for us to cook all our meals — from breakfast to dinner — and honestly, the space is so well set up you don’t even feel the need to leave. The beds were very comfortable, and the house stays surprisingly cool — we barely needed to use the AC even in the heat. The place was spotless when we arrived, and despite being surrounded by nature, we had no issues with bugs or anything inside the house. We spent a lot of time by the pool, and even at night the water temperature was perfect. The hosts were outstanding. Communication, support, and overall care made everything seamless —they truly felt like a one-stop shop for anything we needed. Thank you again!

First of all when we arrived, half the utilities weren’t even working. There are also cameras inside and outside all around the property. It was recording us which violates policies and laws. As for the glass, it was improperly installed as it was broken during showering and regular use. My friend was injured and bleeding from this poor installment so if anything we should be reimbursed for hospital fees. There were also bugs and ants all over the bedroom that kept us up all night. They also continued to send us to tourist traps and always tried to overcharge us. Recording guests is NOT OKAY AND ILLEGAL. I would like to request reimbursement on my end for illegally recording across the property indoor and outdoor, WiFi and utilities broken half the time and bug and ants infested in bedrooms.
