Sandra and Alex were wonderful hosts! They greeted us and showed us around and helped make sure we were all set for our stay. Their home is stunning and kept clean. Sandra was very helpful with all my questions for local recommendations/etc. Beautiful, peaceful, and quiet stay. Highly recommend!!!! Thank you Sandra and Alex!

Great private location - lovely pool & tons of space. Close to a small beach town with good swimming. We saw lots of wildlife & it was very quiet. Highly recommend!

We were there with my family and we loved the house. It's amazing. The location is perfect.  Sandra always took care of us wonderfully, ready to assist us with any detail. We will definitely be back.

Estuvimos con mi familia y la casa nos encantó. Es increíble. La ubicación es perfecta.  Sandra nos atendió siempre de maravilla, dispuesta a asistirnos en cualquier detalle. Volveremos sin duda.

We had an absolutely life-changing trip to Costa Rica with her two kids this spring. We fell in love with his house. It’s up in the hills with majestic views of nature. It was just what we needed a place to unwind and stare at the sky. Sara was incredibly helpful. She met us at the property entrance to ensure that we didn’t get lost, she even offered us a few groceries as we were coming in at a later time in the day. The whole experience was absolutely wonderful. The house was very comfortable with all the amenities that we needed getting up into the house from the main road was a little bit of work as the roads are still quite rugged, but honestly, it was worth the effort. Make sure that you have a 4 x 4 vehicle and you should be fine. You’re in Costa Rica after all we will definitely come back to this house and if you’re looking for a life-changing experience, this would be the one.

we brought our teens girls here and the place is spectacular! we loved the pool and scenery. we loved the patio where our family spent time there in the mornings. we highly recommend it here!

I stayed at this beautiful Airbnb with my husband and we had the best time. It is truly stunning - the views, the pool, the home. It is very private and quiet, the best place to relax. We enjoyed going for walks and runs on the roads and trails nearby as well. I can't wait to come back to this home someday, one of the best Airbnbs I've ever stayed at!

We had such a wonderful stay. Thank you. The place is beautiful, the pool is clean and cool, the view is incredible, the vibe being in the jungle is just what we were looking for. The hosts/property managers were super responsive and kind, thoughtful too.. they told us about a local farmers market that was happening in town, a fun little bonus. We’d happily stay here again and definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing place with a gorgeous view 🌿

Wonderful hosts, always responsive and easy going. Allowed us to check in early, and met us to give a personalized tour of the property and amenities. Couldn’t compliment them enough. The property was immaculate, private, and the pool was amazing. Overall a fantastic experience. Would recommend an SUV as the roads around the property are rough in places. 4x4 not strictly necessary in the dry season.

What a truly majestic place! The sunsets reflecting off the giant pool were spectacular. We loved swimming during the day and stargazing at night. The house was spacious, clean, and comfortable, with lovely outdoor seating. Sandra and Alex gave us a very warm welcome, led us to the house, and made us feel special since we were celebrating our engagement. After that, it was just Paul the iguana and the adorable coatis for company in this private paradise. We visited San Juanillo, Nosara, and Guiones by car but enjoyed most of our time at the house. Highly recommend, it's even better than the photos!

The house is beautiful and very tastefully furnished. It is perfectly located somewhat elevated in the forest with a dream view of the sea and 10 min from San Juanillo and thus shops, restaurants and the beach. The owners are very friendly and Sandra and Alex, who look after the house and live nearby, are extremely nice and helpful and do their job excellently. The beds are very comfortable, the kitchen well equipped and there is a state-of-the-art washing machine and dryer available. Everything was sparkling clean. The view is fantastic and the garden very well maintained and the terraces equipped with beautiful and comfortable furniture. In the morning you are gently awakened by the sounds of the howler monkeys and many different birds. We have been to many houses around the world and also in Costa Rica, this one is one of our 2 favorites. Thank you Sarah, Sandra and Alex, we hope to see you again! Nadja and Ben with Mila & Noa

Das Haus ist wunderschön und sehr geschmackvoll eingerichtet. Es ist perfekt gelegen etwas erhoben im Wald mit Traumsicht aufs Meer und mit 10 min von San Juanillo und somit Läden, Restaurants und dem Strand entfernt. Die Besitzer sind sehr freundlich und Sandra und Alex, die zum Haus schauen und nahe wohnen sind äusserst nett und hilfsbereit und machen ihren Job ausgezeichnet. Die Betten sind sehr bequem, die Küche gut ausgestattet und es steht eine topmoderne Waschmaschine und Tumbler zur Verfügung. Alles war blitzsauber. Die Aussicht ist traumhaft und der Garten sehr gut gepflegt und die Terrassen mit schönen und bequemen Möbeln ausgestattet. Morgens wird man von den Geräuschen der Howlermonkeys und vielen verschiedenen Vögeln sanft geweckt. Wir waren weltweit und auch in Costa Rica in vielen Häusern, dieses hier ist eins unserer 2 Favoriten. Danke Sarah, Sandra und Alex, wir hoffen auf ein Wiedersehen! Nadja und Ben mit Mila & Noa

Loved our stay! The house, pool, view are great! The places are quiet, intimate, clean. Howler monkeys came to visit us twice in one week, in the trees above the house. The village of San Juanillo nearby (about 10 minutes by car) is a fishing village with a beautiful beach. 30 minutes drive away there is the town of Nosara with supermarkets, we did the Miss Sky Canopy tour zip line. That was great! Thanks for everything!

Nous avons adoré notre séjour! La maison, la piscine, la vue sont superbes! Les lieux sont tranquilles, intimes, propres. Des singes hurleurs sont venus nous visiter 2 fois en 1 semaines, dans les arbres au dessus de la maison. Le village de San Juanillo tout près (environ 10 minutes de voiture) est un village de pêcheurs avec une belle plage. À 30 minutes de route il y a la ville de Nosara avec des supermarchés, nous avons fait la tyrolienne Miss Sky Canopy tour. C'était super! Merci pour tout!

Very secluded and quiet place with a very large swimming pool and amazing views! A real immersion in the Costa Rican forest. The house is well equipped and as shown in the photos. Lots of Coati came very close and Paul the iguana spent his days by the pool. Sarah was a much-loved host. We liked that it was on a secure Finca with an access code to enter the site.

Endroit très isolé et calme avec une très grande piscine et une vue incroyable! Une vrai immersion dans la forêt du Costa Rica. La maison est bien équipé et tel que montrée sur les photos. Beaucoup de Coati sont passés très près et Paul l’iguane passait ses journées près de la piscine. Sarah a été une hôte très appréciée. On a bien aimé que ce soit sur une Finca sécurisé avec un code d’accès pour entrer sur le site.

Wonderful stay at Casa Majestica. Property sits in a secluded spot just as described and the pictures don't do it justice. Sandra and Alex went out of their way to help us get settled in and were extremely responsive for the little queries and extra recommendations. Will be back if lucky enough to return to this part of the world. Thanks so much for a wonderful stay!

Our stay at this home was amazing. It is such a gorgeous setting, peaceful and private, nestled in the jungle with a view of the Pacific. The infinity pool is pristine and the nighttime sky is filled with stars. We enjoyed the remoteness of the location and took some day trips to Nosara for surfing lessons and near Tamarindo for zip-lining. The local town has a couple of great restaurants near the beach. The very friendly hosts were exceptionally helpful. They reached out ahead of time with ideas for where to pick up groceries on the way from Liberia airport. Arriving after dark, the hosts met us at the gate to guide us to the home. With many twists and turns, that was greatly appreciated. They showed us the property and made us feel very welcome and at home. They were responsive throughout the week whenever we had a question and they reached out proactively to give ideas for nice restaurants offering special Christmas Eve dinners. We would love to visit again some day!

Our stay at this gorgeous and secluded place was the highlight of our Costa Rica vacation.  Steven was so helpful and gave us great recommendations. Surrounded by nature and wildlife while enjoying an amazing pool with ocean and jungle views, we could not have asked for more.

What a wonderful oasis in the middle of the jungle! We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and rested very well. The pool was a hit, surrounded by nature. Highly recommended for a quiet, restful stay.

Thanks again for staying 🙏🫶🇨🇷🫶

If you stay anywhere in Costa Rica it HAS to be here The location is truly magnificent It is a jungle experience like no other From being met by the host at the gate to follow up the drive in the 4x4 We were privileged to be there at full moon and swimming under it and the stars with fireflies in the trees with the sounds of the jungle and the pacific crashing in the distance has to be a memory of a lifetime The photos actually don’t do it justice it’s EVEN more palatial and we could not recommend it enough we felt like we were truly living our best lives and are grateful for the wonderful memories (and photos) Pura Vida

We stayed 5 nights in this amazing villa and enjoyed it to the fullest. The swimming pool if stunning and had a nice temperature. Everything we needed was available in the house and the animals around the villa are a true present. Steven was a great host! We loved it!

Our stay here was absolutely wonderful! The house is beautiful, and had everything we needed. Steven was incredibly helpful and responsive. I really appreciated him taking the time to meet us and showing us how to get to the house because it is definitely off the beaten path! Which is also the best part of the property! Complete privacy surrounded by nature. It was exactly what we were looking for. The nearby town of San Juanillo has a beautiful little beach and several places to eat. All in all it was an amazing few days!

Loved this place soooo much !! Great service best hosts ever, they helped me out with so much like setting up rides and getting atvs rented out & all the best locations around. The house has the most insane view ever sooo amazing, has such a cute small town everyone around is so nice. The house is just sooo cool I personally really really loved it best place I’ve been yet!! It was definitely an experience in the jungle but we loved every second being here just going with the flow :) felt very safe even as, two females traveling. The pool was worth it all 👌

My two adult kids and I absolutely loved it here! The infinity pool surrounded by nature, birds and howler monkeys was incredible space to blend with nature. Sarahs place itself was beautiful Steves knowledge of the area was also a huge help. We did not want to leave! Thanks so much guys we want to come back again! Place had everything listed and even a very nice outdoor restaurant very close by. We hope to be back. Scott from Canada

A great house. Best views. Nice pool. well equipped. perfect communication with host. I will certainly come back !

Sarah’s place is as described a wonderfully quiet space in the hills with beautiful ocean views and sunsets. For people who want to embrace silence and disconnect from the pace of Tamarindo and other centres that are becoming busier each year, this is def worth consideration! The pool and views are outstanding and the likelihood that you’ll see another soul is quite low. Personally, for our family, it was too quiet, however, we thought that this was something we would solve w our car and freedom associated. The home is way back into the hills, as it’s clearly marketed and quite a distance from nicer restaurants and grocery options. With that said, relaxing in the sun and enjoying the pool should be the focus here and the home succeeds on all those fronts. Pura vida!!!!

Gord should have done more research about the area and read the reviews and description of the house before making his reservation!  He was the first to be so critical.  I recommend he stays in a more touristy area that has all the amenities.  Maybe next time the “Four Seasons”.  I wish him and his family all the best and a very Happy New Year!

We had a wonderful stay! The pool and views were the best part. We enjoyed the wildlife and the peace of the area. Steve was a wonderful host who was so responsive and helpful.

Amazing get away, clean house and clean pool. Right in the middle of nature. Definitely need a car with AWD to get there tho. We used a RAV4 which just did the trick.

We loved our stay at this home! The view is amazing and we loved the resident iguana who hung out with us everyday! Steven was  helpful with check in and making sure we had everything we needed. We definitely recommend staying at this home and hope to be back one day! It is gorgeous 😍

What a magic place! We spent almost 6 weeks with child here and it is impossible to put into words how beautiful this place and the accommodation is: with all the animals, e.g. howler monkeys, nasal bears and the incredibly peaceful iguana, the beautiful sunsets and the sea, what you see and also hear and not forget the pool! Steven is a very warm person who always stood by us with advice and action, always quickly accessible and did everything in his power. We quickly felt at home and especially enjoyed the peace and seclusion. We have many special moments here that we will never forget!

Was für ein magischer Ort! Wir haben fast 6 Wochen mit Kind hier verbracht und es ist nicht in Worte zu fassen, wie schön dieser Ort und die Unterkunft ist: Mit all den Tieren, z. B. Brüllaffen, Nasenbären und dem unfassbar friedlichen Leguan, den wunderschönen Sonnenuntergängen und dem Meer, was man sieht und auch hört und nicht zu vergessen dem Pool! Steven ist ein sehr herzlicher Mensch, der uns stets mit Rat und Tat zur Seite stand, immer schnell erreichbar und alles in seiner Macht stehende getan hat. Wir haben uns schnell zu Hause gefühlt und vor allem die Ruhe und Abgeschiedenheit genossen. Wir hier viele besondere Momente erlebt, die wir nie vergessen werden!

This is our second stay at the house. We visited in 2021, and the experience was even better this time around. The furniture upgrades were perfect. The house is even better than the pictures represent. Steven (host) was super responsive and friendly. He got a fallen tree cleared from the driveway in minutes. Will stay again when we visit the area in the future. Rent this place…. if you desire an uber private and luxurious getaway, surrounded by flora and fauna.

We just got back from staying 10 days in this amazing house! I cannot express enough how absolutely amazing this house is everything about it made it the perfect vacation for our family. I will say that this home is very secluded however worth every minute getting there. You are surrounded by the amazing jungle and get to live alongside some of the most amazing creatures, from the resident iguanas to the family of howler monkeys (we counted at one time about 20 including 4 moms carrying babies), to all the birds and we even got to see a couple racoons and a very curious ant eater!  We only ventured out of the home 3 times, 2 of the trips were to Nosara (about 25-30 min away) and that was to go offshore fishing and to the large grocery store and then one was to go to a couple of the local beaches. Communications prior to and during our trip with Steven was amazing! He always answered any questions or concerns! We will be coming back for sure!!!

Staying at Sara’s house was an incredible experience! The house architecture is beautiful and unique, with tastefully crafted furnishings. We absolutely loved being on such a remote nature preserve, right in the middle of the jungle, with the best monkey, bird, and iguana watching you can imagine. We spent most evenings enjoying the beautiful sunsets in the amazing pool. The location is perfect for an extended stay or for those looking to explore. There is a small town nearby that offers a great beach, restaurants, and a mini-mart. You can also travel south to Nosara or north to Tamarindo, stopping at all the fantastic beaches along the way! Communication with the host was excellent and first-class. Steven sent us accurate location and met us at the gate to the preserve on time. He was super down to earth and quickly gave us the lay of the land. Highly recommend—this was a great experience all around!

We had a wonderful & relaxing vacation at Sarah’s place!  It’s truly a gorgeous and unique spot. Thanks for everything.

The Airbnb itself is amazing, incredible views and comfortable space, pool was spectacular and well maintained. However, the host was someone named Steven and the communication was somewhat of a negative. He made multiple requests for us to meet his assistant at the gate before 5:30, but only told us this 24 hours prior to check in. This was somewhat difficult to achieve as we already had a full day planned and found ourselves rushing a bit to try to meet this request. The house also lacked some basic essential cooking supplies (cooking oil, some spices/pepper) which is disappointing considering how far a market is and how difficult the roads are. The house itself is truly amazing which is why I'm giving 5 stars, but for this price point I would expect at least essential supplies and some better communication.

Very private and secluded.. don’t forget the coffee because it’s a bumpy, hilly drive even to the nearest market. Driving to the larger supermarkets, wonderful organic market, or nicer bars and restaurants is 35min if you’re not timid behind the wheel. This is a place to go and *stay* if you want to get away from crowds. It’s not the best base camp for daily activities in Nosara. While the interior fixtures and furnishings are a bit dated, the pool and surrounding patio are excellent for daily hanging out. If you go, please say hello to our dear iguana friend, Roberto. We were there during some strong winds, so the pool did need daily skimming. The house is not 100% sealed to the outdoors, so a few of the nights were difficult sleeping from the trees whipping around (and of course the loud geckos, birds, and monkeys at sunrise and sunset). We would definitely return if we were planning our farthest outing only to the amazing beach at nearby San Juanillo.

5 stars all around. Great place, designed to be enjoyed. Would reccimend for those who like to get off the beaten track. It's almost like.living in the jungle, but with all the modern comforts you would like. Steve was our contact, quick to respond and had helpful tips. All the small details were covered, kids wife and I would love to.come back!! Thanks for the memories!

We stayed here for a month and it is such a sweet place on such an amazing piece of land. We really wanted to relax and unplug and this is the best place to do it. Super private, can barely see one other house, and besides that it feels like your own private reserve. The pool is next level awesome, looked better than many of the hotel pools we saw in Nosara. The wildlife was amazing and it was great to walk on the reserve roads every morning and see all the birds and other wildlife. Steve and Miel are amazing hosts and responded immediately to any questions we had. Do be prepared that if you are trying to go to Pelada or Guiones or the restaurants down there, it takes a good 35 minutes. The San Juanillo restaurants and tiny store left much to be desired, so only ate there once and drove to Nosara for our groceries and meals which was inconvenient but at the end of the day worth this amazing house,

Best Airbnb I’ve ever stayed at. We’ve traveled all over the world and nothing has compared to this Airbnb. Wow. Miel was a fantastic host. The place was absolutely stunning. 3 outdoor showers. Pool was immaculate and the views… it doesn’t get any better than this place.

We loved our stay at the house! Not only is the place itself gorgeous, private and very nicely decorated, it is also right in the middle of nature. We enjoyed being part of the daily rituals: coaties passing by on their morning stroll, howler monkers sipping from the tree flowers right next to the house, the daily visit of a curious iguana and vultures that had their daily drink from the pool. The road to town is quite bumpy and crossing two rivers so a 4x4 is a must. We would definitely come back!!!

We had a wonderful 1.5 weeks here with our family, it was so relaxing and enjoyable! What a great find and the perfect place to unwind and relax. We really enjoyed our days here from the sunrise to sunset and would not change anything. The house and pool were absolutely perfect as well as the detached guest house. Each day we would enjoy the wildlife from the parrots, iguanas and monkeys and the wonderful pool. We spent many nights swimming after sunset and stargazing on the decks. Yes, it is out of the way but there is a little grocery store minutes away and a large supermarket in Nosara were we rented surfboards for $15 and enjoyed the town. We also went to Samara and rented kayaks to the offshore island and the beach at Carrillo. We did not have a 4WD and made it across the river crossings just fine (south to Nosara and Samara). We found many little beaches near the house that were excellent as well. Highly recommended and truly one of the best places we have ever stayed!

The house is simply fantastic and all the photos are perfectly accurate. Quiet, relaxed and immersed in nature describes what we felt during the 7 days we stayed there. Steve is a wonderful host who always found time to answer our questions. Beware of the resident coati and close the windows at night, as mosquito screens are not a sufficient barrier to slow down his eagerness for treats!...

Great place, definitely suggest having a rugged vehicle that can handle the roads to get there but overall very peaceful and beautiful location

Wonderful, magical place. We will be back for sure:)

Wundervoller, magischer Ort. Wir kommen sicher wieder. :)

Incredible, this place is a dream. We were welcomed daily by all the sounds of the surrounding jungle. A wildlife enthusiast’s paradise, we had visits from a troupe of howler monkeys (babies in tow), white faced capuchins, a resident iguana (Howard), a resident coati (Walter), a resident bat (Simon), an agouti, two black vultures who drank from the pool and ate the fallen dates from the palms and countless species of birds. The main house (we did not need to use the casita) had comfortable beds, A/C in the bedrooms, spacious bathrooms and a well-appointed kitchen. Note, there is only one couch (futon) in the shared living space with the large dining table. This wasn’t an issue for us because we mostly sat on the back patio facing the pool and jungle, listening to the birds in the morning and watching the storms roll in and out in the afternoons. Spectacular. As others have mentioned, the roads in this area of CR are notoriously rough so I highly recommend a 4x4 WITH clearance.

We stayed in 3 different air bnbs during our stay in Costa Rica.  Each was so special, but this space was next level amazing.  It is truly your very own private jungle paradise minutes from the beaches (driving).  We travelled into Nosara several days at only 20 minutes away and visited the more local beaches within 10 minutes.  Everything was so easy to get to but to be honest our most sacred time was spent sitting outdoors by the pool watching endless birds, monkeys and iguana's living their best lives.  The home is stunning, minimalist yet had everything we needed and more.  Beds so comfortable.  I find it hard to share our experience because it was something that took our breath away and that is hard to put into words.  If you are looking for a space that gives you the pura vita experience of peace and tranquility - this is your spot.  We travelled with our 3 teenage daughters and they were in love too.  Thank you so much Steven and Nedzeya for sharing such a magical place.
