The space Casa Guarumo Casa Guarumo is a magical place for those looking for a family experience or with a large group of friends. This is the largest house in Monteverde and Santa Elena and is located in a privileged area, right in the middle of the cloud forest but also close to great restaurants and convenience stores. The main forest reserves of the area are very close and you can even reach some of them by walking from private trails from the same property. It is common to see hundreds of birds and many mammals such as sloths, howler monkeys, white-faced monkeys, raccoons, coatis, armadillos, agoutis, squirrels, hammers, and a variety of hummingbirds and bats. The different balconies of the house are ideal to enjoy the beautiful sunsets and relax listening to the wind, the rain, or the sounds of the forest. Spread out in the comfortable living room area, enjoy your favorite TV shows or movies, and take delight in a fun-filled afternoon. The kitchen is fully-equipped and has everything you could ever need to whip up the most delicious meals and snacks at any time. There is also a large social area that offers an outdoor firepit where you can sit and roast some s'mores or just share all of your adventures here in Puntarenas or enjoy a delicious outdoor cookout. The house is fully equipped and also includes a free maid service every morning who will help with the cleaning. This spacious and gigantic vacation rental will help you leave all of your worries at the door. Book now! What’s nearby: Casa Guarumo is 100 meters from the historic center of Monteverde. Around this beautiful park, there is a mini-market of organic products and vegetables, a coffee barista, and a cooperative where in addition to handcrafts, they offer the best breakfasts and lunches in the area with typical specials of Costa Rican food. We recommend visiting the private natural reserves Cricancha and Bosque Eterno de Los Niños, just a 0.2-mile walk from Casa Guarumo. In addition to food recommendations, Stellas Bakery offers the best fusion pastry, and just 50 meters away is Tramonti, with its succulent Italian menu and the best handmade Monteverde pizza. For those who like chocolate, you can also visit a delicious gourmet chocolate shop just 50 meters from Tramonti and on the ground floor enjoy the best bat and vampire observatory in Costa Rica. Very near the park of Monteverde is the cheese factory where besides being able to acquire delicious artisanal cheeses, you can live the experience of a tour of the historic factory. Santa Elena downtown is only one and a half miles away and there you will have big supermarkets, drug stores, bank offices, and a vast variety of bars and restaurants.

Easily the most unique place we've ever stayed. Absolutely beautiful, all sorts of nature and wildlife. Would go back anytime! Also, a great spot with large families with plenty of room to spread out!!

One of my family’s favorite airbnb stays ever! Just as wonderful and quirky as it looks, Guarumo truly felt like a second home. We were so grateful for Catalina’s lovely welcome and tour made us feel comfortable immediately. When we had questions or problems (locked ourselves out once - oops! 🤦🏻♀️), Andrea responded immediately. The whole experience couldn’t have been better and I recommend this property wholeheartedly. If you come and stay, be sure to eat breakfast and/or lunch at Stella’s just down the hill. We made friends with the staff and ate every dish on the menu! Perfect vibes.

The house was really good. It was just like in the pictures the kitchen had everything and more that you needed. The main space in the second floor was amazing. We shared most of our day they’re having food watching TV and just sharing as a family but also if you wanted to have some alone time, each bedroom is really isolated from that room so you won’t have any noise. Beds were really good that’s a dealbreaker for me and I really enjoyed them.

This was certainly a unique place to stay in a great location. The property and house are beautiful and very close to a lot of great things. Our rental car got a flat as we were arriving but, lucky for us, There we’re some great cafes, a grocery story, and other shops within walking distance, as well as an ice cream/cheese factory and nature reserve. We really lucked out being able to walk to these things. What they don’t tell you is that the house is pretty dated and there is almost no water pressure. One of the showers didn’t work at all, and another didn’t get any hot water. The kitchen is small and not very equip. It’s fairly difficult to maneuver around the property as none of the doors have knobs so the monkeys don’t get in. That being said, it was really neat to see capuchin monkeys, coati, agouti, and a bunch of beautiful birds while sitting on the balcony. Overall an ok stay but would not stay here again.

Sadly the property looks in way better shape on the published pictures than in reality. We found it quite run down and slightly dirty. Definitely expensive compared to other properties that we stayed in and the quality and service others were offering.

Unique is the right word for this place - it provides both private and communal areas which is great for a big group. Just note that the bedrooms are completely separate from the communal areas other thay one bed which is actually in the main room. As others have said, Stella's is fantastic for breakfast and there are great coffee/souvenir shops across the street. The local staff were very responsive too.

Wonderful and very interesting home . The pictures don’t do it justice ! The home has a great location to things in town and at the same time far enough away to be nice and quiet . I would definitely go there again . The hosts are extremely friendly and helpful

THEE most unique property any of us 6 have stayed at. Close to the best coffee/breakfast in town, close to a lot of the park entrances. Awesome properties with monkeys on premise constantly putting on shows for the residents. Would absolutely stay again.
