The house is very beautiful. It is in a residential area of pretty houses and directly overlooks a beach shared with the residential area. The beach is maintained. The corals don't allow you to swim, but you can cool off and find peace and nature. The garden is full of incredible animals: green macaws, sloths, howler monkeys. To think that we used to go to expensive nature parks to see birds through a telescope, whereas there you can see them with the naked eye in the garden and by the beach... Eva takes care of the accommodation and can do laundry. She lives in the housing development. She is super nice and responsive. Thank you!

Absolute paradise! My family of 5, including 3 teen boys, had the most excellent stay in late July/early August 2026. We loved the open air living area and kitchen, which provided us with hours and hours of family time playing games in the Adirondack chairs and preparing meals in the kitchen. We saw so much wildlife on the property - even the resident sloth! Macaws and/or howler monkeys screaming in the morning, a variety of birds, small lizards and butterflies. The proximity to the beach is the highlight of this house - convenient and perfectly private. The proximity to the towns of Cocles (with a grocery store and local Sodas) and the lively Puerto Viejo was a welcome surprise. We visited all of the beaches and Cuhuita N'tl Park where we saw iguanas, spider monkeys, and more. Eva was very helpful and got us settled in nicely and Josef's brother Jurek was very friendly and offered us recs for dinner. I would stay at Josef's place again and again - it was just a dream. Thank you!

We had a wonderful stay here. The beach is beautiful, and the open-air kitchen and living area made the house feel especially relaxing and connected to the surroundings. Eva, who cares for the property, was an absolute gem. She was warm, helpful, and made everything easier during our stay. The location is excellent, close to the charming town of Puerto Viejo and directly across from the Jaguar Rescue Center, which we were able to walk to. We saw sloths in the trees near the beach in front of house multiple times, monkeys along the nearby trail, colorful butterflies, agoutis in the yard, and wildlife all around us. Even while eating at the dining table, we truly felt immersed in nature. A lovely place for anyone wanting beach access, wildlife, and a true Caribbean Costa Rica experience of Pura Vida.

It's always a pleasure to come back! You can tell how much love they put into the house, and every time we arrive, we find it prettier than the last time! The beach is beautiful and quite private! Ideal for families!

Absolutely amazing, perfect locations with macaws, monkeys, resident sloths and so much more. You won’t find anything better next to the water. Snorkeling is so convenient, located a short walking distance from the backyard. Safe environment with gated entrance and sunrises from the beach were spectacular

Great welcome from Eva in an authentic and charming family home. The common areas are nice and spacious. The rooms are simple, authentic, and have a nostalgic atmosphere. The house is in a sumptuous shared garden with other houses that are all equally charming. The house is next to the beach. I highly recommend it!!

Heaven is lovely this time of year !!!! I can’t wait to come back!!!! Paradise with indoor plumbing :) Truly a magical spot.🤩✨

The house was beautiful! I grew up in the region and have been visiting these historic homes since I was little, its charm did not disappoint. Our greeter Eva was kind, informative and generous. The snorkeling was amazing on the calmest day. Our family a much needed vacation.
