Very beautiful house that looks bigger in person. The views are fantastic. The town of Jacó is actually about 25 minutes away, but it’s important to understand that it’s up in the mountains, so the road is winding and requires a 4x4 for the journey to Jacó. Everything was clean, impeccable, and comfortable.

Stefan and Astrid are so sweet and communicative. The house is beautiful and peaceful and the perfect spot to remember the beauty of life. We saw monkeys, toucans, hummingbirds, iguana and macaws from the pool area and saw beautiful sunsets in the evening. The nearby restaurants are delicious and have their own spectacular views. The power glitched in and out quickly one of the days and the TV remote wasn’t really working, but we didn’t care because we didn’t want to be distracted in such a lovely place anyway.

Amazing views! So beautiful. Great host! Very clean space! It was wonderful to see monkeys, macaws, parrots, iguanas, and other types of wildlife while sitting by the pool. Definitely bring a 4 wheel drive vehicle. Jaco is about 25min away. Really great restaurant 3min away.. Stephan will recommend it. Definitely recommend it!

what can I say about our stay at eagles best. it was breathtaking. Even better than the pics can show. The pool is huge! I was expecting more of a "plunge" pool from the photos but it spans almost the length of the entire house. Kids loved it. The house is BEAUTIFUL. Surroundings unbelievable. We were greeted by so many macaws, toucans, monkeys, lizards! it was perfect. Stefan and Astrid were amazing. so incredibly helpful with the house and with booking and recommending such fun execursions. Our trip was right out of a fairy tale. Absolutely perfect. Couldn't have asked for anything more!!!

We had a wonderful stay. Enjoyed coffee by the pool in the mornings. Saw several McCaws fly by. The home is so beautiful and we can’t say enough about the views! Make sure to check out the stars at night! Homeowners, Stefan and Astrid are wonderful and live very close to the home and are so helpful!

We highly recommend the Eagles Nest experience! The place is on the top of a mountain so understanding that one must travel up and down occasionally is important. We saw birds, monkeys and raccoons-and the sunset is world class. Stefan and Astrid met us to show us around when we arrived. The house is spotless, tile floors throughout and very comfortable.

Stefan and Astrid were wonderful hosts. They communicated with us and were very responsive. Stefan even greeted us upon arrival to be sure we did not have any concerns or questions. Genuinely nice people. The home is beautiful. The photos do not do it justice. If you are a bird watcher, this is the place! Get the Merlin Bird ID App! We did have an insect issue in the home during our stay, but again, the hosts were VERY responsive and took care of the issue immediately. The home is located in a very private area, but you can get to a few good restaurants and a market in less than 10 minutes. We had messages out on the covered porch area and grilled fresh fish from a local market on the grill. Pura Vida!
