3BR villa in San José

Relax in the middle of Nature - Eagle´s Nest - Villas for Rent in Jaco, Puntarenas, Garavito, Costa Rica

Amazing hosts, and very clean place. loved it!  highly recommend their properties.

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.

Très belle Maison qui paraît plus grande en vrai. La vue est incroyable. La ville de Jaco est plutôt à 25 min, mais il faut bien comprendre que c’est en haut des montagnes donc la route est sinueuse et nécessite un 4x4 pour le côté vers Jaco. Tout était propre, impeccable et confortable.

The house and area was beautiful. Stefan was very responsive and helpful for inquiries about activities as well as any other questions we had. Highly recommend.

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!

The house has wonderful mountain and oceans views, along with some of the best sunset views in the area. The pool was a tranquil oasis. The hosts were responsive and helpful.  I would highly recommend this property.

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!

This house was a dream. The views are even more beautiful than the photos and the pool was very large! 4x4 vehicle is definitely a must and the trip too and from Jaco can be a little daunting, but if you go slow, it’s plenty safe. Stefan was great and he even went through the trouble of booking some excursions for us. Overall it was an amazing stay!

Stefan was super responsive, and dealt with any issue without delay.  Many good recommendations for area.  The house was a perfect refuge, safe, clean, spectacular view.  Privacy for different groups, if applicable.  I have zero complaints.  Everyone discusses the road to jaco.  With a 4x4 vehicle, it’s completely manageable. (Note: we just had mild rain in the afternoons, road wasn’t muddy).

We gave our mother a stay at Stefan and Astrid's house for her 80th birthday. She and the whole family were so enthusiastic about the location and the architectural features of the house that we would have preferred to stay there. The house is bright, open and modern. Due to its open character, it offers many opportunities to move around in it – different lounges invite you to retreat or spend time together. We felt very safe and completely comfortable there. The pool is large enough to swim a few laps every day. The view from almost the entire house of the sea and the densely forested mountain ranges is simply breathtaking. Three bedrooms, each with their own full bathroom – ideal for three nature-loving couples seeking tranquility and relaxation. Stefan and Astrid, thank you so much! You were always ready to do anything to make our stay perfect. We will be back.

Wir haben unserer Mutter zu ihrem 80. Geburtstag einen Aufenthalt im Haus von Stefan und Astrid geschenkt. Sie und die gesamte Familie waren von der Lage und den architektonischen Besonderheiten des Hauses dermaßen begeistert, dass wir am liebsten dort geblieben wären. Das Haus ist hell, offen und modern. Durch seinen offenen Charakter bietet es viele Möglichkeiten, sich darin zu bewegen – verschiedene Aufenthaltsräume laden dazu ein, sich zurückzuziehen oder gemeinsam Zeit zu verbringen. Wir haben uns dort sehr sicher und rundum wohlgefühlt. Der Pool ist groß genug, um täglich ein paar Bahnen zu schwimmen. Der Ausblick aus fast dem gesamten Haus auf das Meer und die dicht bewaldeten Bergketten ist einfach atemberaubend. Drei Schlafzimmer mit jeweils eigenem Vollbad – ideal für drei naturliebende Paare, die Ruhe und Erholung suchen. Stefan und Astrid, tausend Dank! Ihr wart jederzeit bereit, alles zu tun, um unseren Aufenthalt perfekt zu machen. Wir kommen wieder.

Amazing hosts with an amazing home. The photos just doing it any justice for what it is

I would highly recommend this beautiful home !!! The views were gorgeous. Everything was very clean and had all necessities that we needed and the host was also great and very attentive. Can’t wait to go back.

The place was Great and the host were amazing. The only concern was being able to travel up and down the mountains at night. We didn’t get to enjoy the nightlife because the travel was not an easy ride at night. As far as the home. It was very clean, Super private. I do not like bugs and the home was clear of bugs which was surprising due to being in the mountains. If your looking for a peaceful and tranquil home with a nice pool and setting this is your home. It would be great for a group trip or a family trip. It’s really spacious and comfortable.. Just make sure you get all activities done before 6 pm as the sunsets fairly early. Driving the mountain at night would be my only set back. However I’m still rebooking this home as soon as I return. The host are great!

We had an excellent stay! The location, house, and restaurants nearby were all great. Stefan was very helpful and accommodating.

Stefan’s place was amazing and very peaceful. The view was incredible so beautiful. Definitely will recommend and will book again is I travel there again. ❤️

The hosts were amazing! The view and the home were beautiful. Stefan and his wife Astrid are the nicest people we met in Costa Rica. They helped arrange different activities and transportation for us while my husband and I celebrated our Birthday! We would definitely stay at Eagles Nest again!

Stefan’s house was the perfect place for a family getaway! The location was beautiful. Away from the hustle and bustle of town, up in the mountains, but close enough to the city to have everything we need. The roads weren’t as bad as we anticipated! We had everything we need and more.

A stunning home and amazingly friendly hosts! Would love to visit again and would highly recommend!

We loved our stay. The house is absolutely beautiful, even better than the pictures. The view is amazing. Nothing but flowers, trees, butterflies and mountains leading to the sea in the far distance. Beware there is a thirty minute, bumpy ride up a steep, unpaved road to get to the house from Jaco but we thought it was more than worth it.

Stephan’s place was one of kind! He was super nice and communicative the whole time .. He gave us tons of recommendations for food and things to do! All which didn’t disappoint! Our internet went out two separate time and he was on it immediately Had it fixed within the hour (hard to believe you even have internet how remote it is) Amazing views and wildlife all around! Would recommend 10/10 The road is a bit hairy going up from Jaco but not as bad as some reviews made it out to be!

The house is beautiful! Large spaces with amazing views of the mountains, sea, vegetation and wildlife that surround it! We had the privilege of seeing macaw parrots and toucans every day. Very zen and peaceful place. Stefan and Astrid were very responsive to our requests in addition to making various suggestions for the surroundings.

La maison est magnifique ! Grands espaces avec une vue incroyable sur les montagnes, la mer, la végétation et la faune qui l’entoure ! Nous avons eu le privilège de voir les perroquets Ara et des toucans à tout les jours. Endroit très zen et paisible. Stefan et Astrid ont été très réactifs à nos demandes en plus de nous faire différentes suggestions pour les alentours.

Our family of 5 had a great time here.  Beautiful view,  quiet surroundings, everything we needed for our trip.  The sunsets were a regular routine.  We rented a 4X4 SUV and felt like that was good for the road south to Jaco.  The northern road is mostly paved.  We visited Manuel Antonio National Park.  We got a guide, highly recommend this,  so you can see all of the wildlife.  We also got driver for the day.  Parking near the Park is not convenient and there’s traffic.   We spent a number of days on the beach in Jaco.  Parking was easiest on the south side of town down roads across from the Jaco Walk shopping area.  We liked the beach there as well.  There are vendors who rent umbrellas and lounge chairs by the day.  Also rent surf boards and boogie boards. Back closer to the house we ate at Shadays many nights.

AMAZING! The pictures and listing description although very accurate, it is even more impressive than you can imagine. Absolutely stunning, completely private, an abundance of nature, huge pool, fully equipped and functioning kitchen, comfortable beds, everything you need and then some. A lot of reviews talk about the drive up the mountain. It is no problem and offers opportunities to see something new every time. The highest waterfall hike is nearby on the drive up and down the mountain which I recommend doing. Stefan and his wife were so welcoming. They gave us easy to follow instructions, recommendations, and even waited for us to arrive to ensure we did so safely. He even messaged a nearby restaurant to request they stay open for us so we had a place to grab a much needed bit to eat. Seriously, stop searching and book this! You will not regret it. We are hopeful to return with our young kids in the near future.

Beautiful and serene. Gorgeous views, lots of cool animal visitors, a well stocked kitchen, comfortable beds and has a great layout for families. Highly recommend the restaurant closest to the house. So much to do in the local area. Horseback riding, atv’s, hiking, waterfalls etc. Loved morning swims in the pool hearing and seeing all of the bird visitors. Cannot wait to rebook in the spring. Wonderfully kind hosts!

Stefan is very communicative and friendly. Always responded promptly and willing to help with any questions we had!

We really enjoyed our stay at the house. Stefan was very helpful and a great host. The views were amazing!! The location was very private and peaceful to get away from it all and just enjoy your surroundings.

This immaculate house is a gem in the jungle. Our family had a marvelous time in the large living room, pristine pool, well equipped kitchen, and enjoyed days worth of meals in the dining area. The 3 bedrooms offered an abundance of space with all the amenities of home, and then some. The mini-split AC's in each of the bedrooms made each sleeping area very comfortable for the entire family. There's gorgeous artwork throughout the house that adds a very nice touch to the entire atmosphere of the house. Everything was incredibly clean upon arrival, and in better working order than many hotels out there. Pristine bathrooms in each of the bedrooms were excellent for each member of the family as well. Stefan was very accommodating, and even was able to get the house ready for us a day early due to some last minute airline shenanigans - he's incredible! Thank you for making our trip so memorable! Note: Be sure to take the north entrance to get to the house, unless you like a 4x4 challenge!

Wonderful house, views, and experience. We really enjoyed the stay in "The Eagle's nest". The home was very clean and organized and matched the description and photos well. We visited during the rainy season but found the rain would move in and out relatively quickly giving us a few truly amazing sunset experiences. Butterflies, toucans, and macaws visited us a few times. You can hear the nearby Jaco falls from the balcony. Stefan was very helpful with directions as there are a few different ways to drive here and Google Maps and Waze may not always provide the best route. We found the house no problem and learned the area quickly.

Loved  the beautiful view, loved the pool. The house was beautiful. I was very grateful to have the opportunity to stay at such a beautiful house.

This home is a true gem! My family and I spent 7 days and loved every moment of it. The hosts make sure to greet you at the beginning of your stay and inform you with all you need to know, they were always available and very helpful. The place is absolutely beautiful! We were able to even see monkeys , tucans, parrots, humming birds right from the terrace , my kids loved it! We had a great experience.

Not a single bad thing to say about this place. Beautiful views, numerous restaurants nearby and animals plentiful. Highly recommendable.

Fantastic house. Great host. Beautiful location. Definitely recommend

Super nice home and great hosts. Even nicer than the pictures. Stefan and his wife can be reached at any time, live in the immediate vicinity and take care of everything. Absolute recommendation for people who are there because of the beautiful nature and want to enjoy it. It was a very special experience.

Super schöne Unterkunft und tolle Gastgeber. Noch schöner als auf den Bildern. Stefan und seine Frau sind jederzeit zu erreichen, wohnen in direkter Nähe und kümmern sich um alles. Absolute Weiterempfehlung für Leute, die wegen der schönen Natur dort sind und diese genießen möchten. Es war ein ganz besonderes Erlebnis.

Stefan's house was truly magical! The pictures were great but the place far exceeds! The wide expanse of the jungle and jungle sounds all around were spectacular. The pool was refreshing and the house was clean comfortable and homey. We are able to see and hear lots of wildlife to include the resident iguana, howler monkeys, black hawks, vultures, scarlet macaws that came by a few times a day and a toucan. The place is definitely up and away from town ... we were there at the beginning of rainy season and glad we had a 4x4 for the rainy washed out road .... but we were comfortable driving it. We are also surprised there were a few restaurants that far up and one that even delivered some local cuisine!! We both agree this was a 5 star experience for us and would highly recommend if you are looking for some jungle serenity! Pura Vida!!!

Stefan’s place was amazing.  The view was breathtaking, the pool refreshing and the house was beautiful.  As many reviews note, the drive up to the house takes about 30 mins and it’s a bit bumpy. It didn’t stop us from going out to explore ever day.  Was just part of the experience.  Saw macaws, toucans, humming birds and then some every morning.  Sooo amazing!  Loved our experience.  We also were given suggestions of a local place that provided delivery upon our late arrival and Stefan and his partner helped to coordinate this.  They were very friendly and helpful hosts.  Would def book again.

Stefan was a pleasure to work with. He and his wife were extremely friendly, welcoming, responsive, and courteous. As the reviews state, the road to the Airbnb can be a bit daunting, but it’s so worth it. Photographs don’t do justice to the views from their home. It was serene and a once-in-a-lifetime scenery. The place was spotless and spacious. The pool was wonderful as well! We did have some issues with bugs in the master bedroom, but the other bedrooms seem to be free of bugs. The ACs were powerful in the bedrooms (none in the rest of the home). Just be aware to get down to Jaco, it’s a 20-30 minute drive down the windy, bumpy, and all-terrain path. At some points we wished we rented a buggy or ATV to get us down and up lol! We would love to come back to Stefan’s place and recommend it to anyone looking to take in all of Costa Rica’s beauty!

If you’re on the fence just book it. Absolutely amazing stay.

Great place to stay. Peaceful and quiet. Place just as pictured. Love that each room has its own bathroom. The view amazing. Worth the stay.

The view was breathtaking!! From our class we saw toucans, monkeys, iguanas and parrots. It was magical! The pool was very long, perfect for laps. Everything was clean. Enjoyed +++. We recommend it!

La vue était à coupé le souffle !! De notre cours nous avons vu des toucans, des singes, des iguanes et des perroquets. C’était magique ! La piscine était très longue, parfait pour faire des longueurs. Tout était propre. Nous avons apprécié +++. Nous vous le recommandons !

The house is a little older, which you can see in the decor, showers, etc. But it is sparkling clean and the highlight of the house is the really big pool and location! You can see monkeys, nasal bears, hummingbirds and toucans from the terrace. But we especially loved the colorful macaws, who flew by regularly. The pathway to get the house is actually burdensome and a 4x4 required. But if you want peace and quiet and this "in the middle of the nature and wildlife" of Costa Rica, you are in great hands here. Very close are also two restaurants with beautiful views, so you don't have to drive far in the evening if you don't want to cook yourself. The kitchen and the gas grill make it easy otherwise.

Das Haus ist schon etwas älter, was man an der Einrichtung, Duschen u.ä. sieht. Es ist aber blitzsauber und das Highlight des Hauses sind der wirklich große Pool und die Lage! Man kann von der Terrasse aus Affen, Nasenbären, Kolibris und Tukane sehen. Uns haben aber vor allem die bunten Aras begeistert, die regelmäßig vorbei flogen. Der Weg zum Haus ist tatsächlich beschwerlich und ein 4x4 erforderlich. Wer aber Ruhe haben möchte und dieses „mitten in der Natur- und Tierwelt“ Costa Ricas, ist hier super aufgehoben. Ganz in der Nähe sind auch zwei Restaurants mit schönem Ausblick, sodass man abends nicht weit fahren muss, falls man nicht selbst kochen möchte. Die Küche und der Gas Grill machen es einem aber sonst auch leicht.

Stefan’s place was the perfect way to end our stay in Costa Rica. It is a bit of drive up the mountain, but 100% worth it. The house was clean, comfortable and came with amazing views all day long. We enjoyed birdwatching in the mornings and evenings. Stefan was proactive with recommendations of things to do while visiting. We spent a fair share of time simply enjoying the house. It’s about a 25 minute drive into Jaco and surrounding areas.

If you are looking for a scenic, peaceful and private place to spend your days while in Costa Rica, look no further.  Our family saw so much wildlife just by sitting out on the deck overlooking the mountainside (over Jaco) and the Pacific Ocean below.  The pool was great for an end of the day refresher and unwind.  There's a local "Soda" restaurant about a 2 minute drive away from the house with great views and delicious food.  Stefan was a responsive owner with plenty of great recommendations for activities, locations and food.  (Note - you will need a vehicle with all wheel drive/4x4 if you plan on staying there.  The mountain roads to get to Stefan's place are steep and can only be traversed slowly due to the conditions of the road.)

The home was fantastic. The pictures don’t do the home justice. The views were amazing. The pool and outdoor space was perfect. The owner provided great local recommendations, and was very responsive to all questions and needs during our stay. The home is comfortable and well-equipped with everything you need to enjoy the surrounding paradise. Close enough to Jacó to easily head to town, but far enough away to escape the traffic. You will need 4x4 to access the house. Highly recommend this home.

Stefan and Ingrid were great hosts, very helpful and attentive.  The house was gorgeous, clean, and very comfortable. The pool was amazing. We spent a lot of time swimming, relaxing on the patio, and enjoying the spectacular views of mountains, valley, sunsets, and ocean. We definitely recommend this place! Do be advised-the drive up and down the mountain between Jaco and the house can be a lot. Our AWD car did fine but the roads are steep, rugged, and well suited to ATV and motorbike enthusiasts.  Make sure you know the directions well before going and leave yourself plenty of time to get up the mountain before dark. Having said that we had a great time! It was a beautiful adventure, thank you Stefan and Ingrid

Well Laura, you are the first costumers in three years who had a problem finding the place although you had an internet link and the instructions that hundreds of visitors before you thought were excellent! That you complain about the check-in although it was due to you not having an internet connection on your phone seems weird, specially after that we stepped out of our way and went to look for you lost somewhere in the dark using other people´s phones!!

Stefan and Astrid were amazing AirBnb hosts, frequent communication leading up to stay with local recommendations and detailed instructions on how to get to property. Very responsive to all questions we had during our stay! The house & surrounding property is breathtaking! Came with two other friends, we each felt like we had our own private suites while also having areas to come together and hangout. Highly recommend this place & will definitely be back!

A great place, had high expectations, but was even better. On the + side: - clean, spacious, modern, all the amenities - spectacular view - pool is perfect - hosts are helpful and available - many birds More info - Road issue: challenging to get to the home. It's accessible from Tarcoles or Jaco, both 25 min dirt roads, a few paved bits. Very damaged and bumpy in some areas. We had a 2 X 4 and it is doable, but longer and not as easily. We switched to a 4 X 4 and it made it much easier. So not essential, but makes it better. - 2 restaurants at about a 7-10 min walk. Not cheap, but awesome view and super charming. - Anything you want to do requires to drive down to the main road. - A MaxiPali at the junction with the main road made it our main supply point. - WiFi is spotty.

Great place to stay!!! Worth the steep drive up the mountain road for sure. The views are amazing (photos dont do it justice). Crazy sunsets. You’re on a mountain surrounded by Jungle. From the pool we saw scarlet macaws, Toucans, Iguanas, and bugs I have never seen. Stefan is a really nice and responsive host. The drive up the mountain (approx 20-30 min) is fun but can be hairy, especially during rain. We felt really safe here as it is very well secured building. Barely any traffic outside. Would 100% stay again

I can’t say enough good things about our stay at Eagle’s Nest. The home itself is VERY clean, spacious, and relaxing. Every window in the home is an opportunity to take in the beauty of Costa Rica’s mountain tops. Every morning we watched macaws fly up the mountain and every night they flew back down. I look forward to my next opportunity to stay here. Thank you Stefan and Astrid, you truly have a slice of paradise.

This is literally one of the best places to stay in Costa Rica. The house is big, modern, very private, very quiet - everything about this house is just amazing! My wife and I spent five days and its not enough! Thank you very much, Stefan and Astrid, for being such an amazing host, we really enjoyed our stay...

This is a literal slice of paradise nestled in the middle of nature. Every morning you wake up to stunning views you can enjoy from the beautiful patio area. Relaxing by the pool takes on a whole new level when there are pairs of scarlet macaws flying right by you ! Stefan and Astrid are very welcoming and have made sure you have everything you need for a great stay. This was truly a magical time and we hope to be back in the future.

Wow! What an amazing place. Looks just like the photos! The view is incredible and there’s no one else nearby. Constant sounds of nature - birds, waterfalls, etc made it extremely relaxing. There are tons of things to do within a 30 minute drive - beaches, zip lines, waterfalls, horseback riding, hiking, etc. Stefan and his wife had the place extremely clean for us upon arrival and helped us feel right at home. We had a problem getting connected to the wifi when we arrived, and they came promptly to help us resolve it. Once connected, the wifi was speedy and reliable. Stefan recommends renting a car with 4WD and I recommend it as well. The 4WD SUV we rented had no problems with the roads to the house. We had initially reserved a 2WD but I’m glad we spend the extra money to upgrade. Overall, we had the time of our lives and would love to stay here again.

Loved our stay! Saw all types of animals and the pool was amazing!!

The house was amazing the views and scenery was unmatched!!! My girls and I enjoyed my 40th Birthday in Costa Rica and ESP the house!! My only issue was getting off the mountain if it rains it’s extremely scary at night!!! Must have a 4*4 going up that mountain is difficult!!!! Other than that it was an amazing trip the house is exactly as advertised and I will be returning to this location again. Thanks for having us 😘

We had such a wonderful time staying at this house. The house was super clean, had everything we needed to cook and even had starter kitchen supplies. So peaceful and the view was gorgeous. Such a comfortable house to stay in!!  We saw monkeys walking on the road, coati, toucans, macaws, iguanas and so much more. Stefan and his wife were such kind hosts and were so patient with me when I took the wrong road to the house to check in. They gave us great local tips and made everything so welcoming. The house is about 15 minutes from downtown Jaco and just up the road from the Jaco Falls entry trail. So glad we got to have both the beach and canopy experience on this trip. I highly recommend Stefan’s house for anyone needing to escape the huddle and bustle and reconnect with life and nature!

Beautiful spot, lovely people - view is even better than the photos show.

Stefan’s place was absolutely wonderful. It was my first time in Costa Rica and I came for my birthday. My Friends and I had such a blast! The views are breathtaking! I would definitely come again. The only con is that the house is high in the mountain, so either get a driver or a 4x4!

The pictures don’t do this house justice; the view off the balcony is jaw dropping. The house has a really cool 80’s architectural vibe that I personally enjoyed. Lots of wildlife visible, birds lizards and some bugs but nothing that we had any issues with. The home was very secluded. We ate at Rancho Shaddays 3-4x which is right around the corner. Very inexpensive and authentic local food. Things to know: 4 wheeler is necessary. It’s a full 25-30 mins from Jaco to get up the mountain to the house. Short distance as the crow flies but it’s a large, unpaved mountain you’re driving up. If it’s raining, would not recommend driving. DO NOT exit the house and turn left. We misunderstood where rancho shadday was and went left in the rain. Extremely skinny road and when wet is very dangerous to drive. Would 100% recommend but just understand what it takes to get to the house from Jaco proper and the road conditions

Amazing views and great hosts. Thank you so much for this great time and hospitality

Stefan and his wife were amazing from the minute I booked their home. We appreciated your promptness, your willingness to help, all your recommendations and most of all having a clean peaceful home. Stefan also recommended chef Juan Diego for our trip and he was amazing!!!! Everything tasted so good. Will def stay here again! Thank you guys!!!

Beautiful home with spectacular views and a great floor plan for a couples trip!  It has an off the grid feel but its still close to restaurants and a grocery store.   Great stay and a great host!!

Beautiful house in a beautiful location. Stefan was very responsive and an excellent host. I would definitely stay at this house again.

Casa Stefan was even more beautiful than the pictures. The view was phenomenal, the pool was amazing and we learned that at the end of a bumpy road, are the best people. Stefan was awesome and showed us the local waterfall and swimming hole. We loved being up the mountains away from the hustle and bustle of Jaco but close enough to enjoy surfing at the beach. We cooked all of our meals and they had a stocked kitchen. They have all of the tools you need. The refrigerator has an ice maker! Which was a great bonus! This was also the first gas grill we’ve seen in Costa Rica at an Airbnb (they are usually charcoal and quite tough to light)! We are already planning our next trip back. Stefan and Astrid are the best kind of people and you should absolutely book their house!

Peacefulness found in this place of paradise. The is the perfect place to rejuvenate the soul. Everything was as promised, only better. Stefan and Astrid were very helpful, attentive and accommodating. This home is beautiful, and the surroundings absolutely amazing. This spacious home was equipped with all that you may need in Costa Rica. Including a wonderful pool and a view that was spectacular to look at anytime of the day or night. The road getting to the house was a little daunting, but nothing a 4x4 couldn’t handle. Family and friends absolutely loved it! Look no further, this is a place that dreams are made of.

This home was amazing and a perfect spot for 3 couples to spend a week exploring Costa Rica! The 3 bedrooms with en suite bathrooms gave each couple their privacy, the pool and deck area provided gorgeous water and mountain views and the kitchen had everything we needed to prepare meals. You should definitely rent a 4X4 to make it up and down the mountain to Jaco which is about 30 minutes away.

Stefan and his wife Astrid were hospitable and answered all our questions, Stefan responded quickly to any messages we sent him. The view is the best thing about the place, also like that the car is inside the garage. There’s a little apartment underneath the airbnb didn’t seem like anyone was living there but also wasn’t disclosed to us so just be aware of that. There’s a/c in the bedrooms but not in the living room/kitchen just a heads up but that wasn’t an issue for us. Also, you’re surrounded by wilderness so prepare for bugs (not host’s fault obviously) he does provide screens on all doors and windows. The pool is not heated, and it’s pretty cool up there so we only enjoyed it around midday when the weather warmed up. My only complaint is that our allergies flared up in the master bedroom when we were in bed not sure if it was dusty or the detergent used on the bedding? It’s about a half hour drive from the house to jaco so keep that in mind when planning your activities.

The home was more beautiful than the pictures. Spectacular sunsets. Peaceful location with unbelievable views.

We absolutely loved our stay at Stefan’s place. It was clean and spacious and perfect for 3 couples to share. We loved cooking in the kitchen, hanging out in the outside areas, and swimming in the pool. Highly recommend the house and our super amazing hosts!

Wow! What a magical place— the mountain and ocean views, the sunsets, the swimming pool that refreshes you after a long hot day! The open layout and modern architecture allows for unobstructed view of nature at its best. I shared photos and videos of this special place to all my fri ends and family. We know that These images will attract future potential guests. Thank you SO much for the hospitality.

A very great house. Even nicer than in the pictures. The view from the terrace is breathtaking. From here you can watch Marcaw (ara) or Tucans or just relax your soul. Stefan and Astrid are excellent and very attentive hosts who are always available to help and advise you. Getting from the north is not a problem at all. The short distance from Jaco was somewhat taken away from the rain during our stay. But this path is also easy to navigate with a 4x4. However, maybe not in the rain and or darkness. We loved it and can really only recommend the house.

Ein ganz tolles Haus. Noch schöner wie auf den Bildern. Der Ausblick von der Terrasse ist atemberaubend. Von hier aus kann man Marcaw (Ara) beobachten oder Tucans oder einfach die Seele baumeln lassen Stefan und Astrid sind hervorragende und sehr aufmerksame Gastgeber, die immer mit Rat und Tat zur Verfügung stehen. Die Anfahrt von Norden ist überhaupt kein Problem. Der kurze Weg von Jaco war bei unserem Aufenthalt vom Regen etwas mitgenommen. Mit einem 4x4 ist aber auch dieser Weg gut zu meistern. Allerdings vielleicht nicht bei Regen und oder Dunkelheit. Uns hat es sehr gefallen und können das Haus wirklich nur weiterempfehlen.

This home is absolutely beautiful! From the stunning views to the exceptional customer service provided, it made this experience amazing. There’s a restaurant around the corner called “Rancho Shaddy,” owned by a lady named Marta, where she’s able to provide information on excursions/tours if needed!

Fabulous mountain view. Smooth check in/check out. Very accommodating host. Nice clean house. 4x4 is a MUST ! I recommend a driver if your traveling back and forth at night it gets really foggy.

This house is an absolute must!!!! We didn’t rent a car and Stefan gave us a few drivers to work with and they became friends over the days. Everything was incredible. About 30 min uphill from downtown Jaco but absolutely worth every single minute. Stefan and his wife are so helpful and informative as well, we couldn’t say better things about it here! Wishing I was back there now!

The picture do not do this home justice. It’s a beautiful home and more modern than it’s depicted above. The hosts are welcoming and warm from the very beginning. My advice is to MAKE SURE TO HAVE A PROPER 4x4 for the trip up the mountain. It’s about a 20 minutes ride up the mountain to the home. Also, when you are ready to turn it in at night turn off ALL the light on the deck and in the pool. AMAZING TIME IN COSTA RICA… I cannot wait to visit Jaco again. Do not be afraid to call a taxi to travel down the mountain they have a few companies that can accommodate.

This place is magnificent. We stayed several weeks and truly enjoyed our stay. As others have stated, a 4 wheel drive vehicle is recommended but I saw small cars also traversing the roads so it is not necessarily required. Stefan stayed in touch throughout our stay to ensure everything was great. He and his wife are great hosts!!

Please please please visit this home. You won’t regret it. The views were amazing. The home was very comfortable and inviting. We got in later than expected and Stefan ordered us food before the restaurant closed. We definitely received VIP service from the moment we landed.

Terrific host and an amazing place. If you want to stay somewhere that is truly special, this is the place. The pictures do not do it justice. The host was incredible and went above and beyond to make sure our stay was outstanding. Best Airbnb I have ever stayed at.

This is truly and amazing stay in pure paradise

SPA: This house is above what I expect. The views were amazing, every now and then you can see all kinds of wildlife. The beautiful pool is perfectly located towards one of the best sunsets you can see for yourself. Honestly, there is nothing more to say that no others have said, if you are making plans to visit Costa Rica this should be your best option to stay. As others have said, be sure to rent a capable car, preferably a 4x4. Stefan and Astrid are extremely accommodating and pleasant, in addition to the beautiful decor and cleanliness of the house, they will give you recommendations and instructions if you ever need them. This was the best Airbnb Experience and I can't recommend it enough. ENG: This home is above and beyond what we expected.

SPA: Esta casa está por encima de lo que esperábamos. Las vistas eran increíbles, de vez en cuando puedes ver todo tipo de vida silvestre. La hermosa piscina está perfectamente ubicada hacia unos de los mejores atardeceres que podrás ver por ti mismo. Honestamente, no hay más que decir que no hayan dicho otros, si está haciendo planes para visitar Costa Rica, esta debería ser su mejor opción para quedarse. Como han dicho otros, asegúrese de alquilar un automóvil capaz, preferiblemente un 4x4. Stefan y Astrid son extremadamente complacientes y agradables, además de la hermosa decoración y la limpieza de la casa, te darán recomendaciones e instrucciones si alguna vez las necesitas.

Wow, what an amazing home Stefan and his wife have. This place is amazing, with the best views. So quiet and relaxing, I wish we had more time to enjoy this beautiful space. Stefan and wife were such a pleasure to deal with from start to finish. No question is too hard or too silly for Stefan, Anything you need or want to know he was always quick to respond. I suggest hiring a car if you plan to stay more than a few days. With a short stay you could easily bring food and drinks with you from jaco beach (which is what we done). There is a restaurant walking distance. But for a longer stay, definitely hire a car as it’d be enjoyable to get out and explore the beautiful surroundings that surround this beautiful home. But overall. I 110% recommend staying in this home and cannot thank Stefan and his wife enough for being such great hosts. Gracias Stefan. Until next time, Pura Vida 🤙🏾

The place is amazing. The view were just as amazing as the host. Stefan was extremely helpful in guiding us around the area and provided us with the number of a taxi service. The road leading to the home can be a little intimidating at first but it is very doable. The main city is down the road and amazing. There is no better place to experience Jaco.

Not sure what to write that has not been said yet. Perfect home, perfect location, perfect view, perfect hosts. On our last evening we had a flock of yellow-throated toucans and one yellow-billed cuckoo a few feet from the house trying to compete against the beauty of the sunset.

Stefan’s house is beautiful and the views are stunning. It is a peaceful place to relax after a busy day out and about. We highly recommend the restaurant just up the road—La Cocina de Doña Marta.

This home is impeccable and has everything you will need to create amazing memories in this beautiful country.  Stefan and Astrid are magnificent hosts and always available.  This home is one of a kind with amazing views.

Spectacular views, pristine luxurious home equipped with everything you could want! The hosts are divine and super helpful. The road to Jaco was improved a tremendously while we were there, and we highly recommend this wonderful place 😃

Keylin, que lastima q no leyó bien el anuncio antes de reservar. Usted hubiera sabido que no era lugar para llegar con cuatro personas en un automovil demasiado bajo...

This was the most beautiful home with breathtaking views that i have ever seen, and Stefan and his wife here extremely helpful, friendly, and accommodating.  Look no further. Just fyi for those driving that the south road is not paved and north road coming down is mostly paved. Also the food at SuDys restaurant (9 mins down the road) is delicious!

We loved staying here for a month and we could not recommend it more highly.  It is a stunning house and the hosts were lovely.  They could not have done more for us.  The view is outstanding as is the birdwatching.  It is a little cooler as it is higher in the hills than the coast but we welcomed this (it’s still hot).  It was a good base to also enjoy the consistent surf conditions daily at Jaco and Hermosa.

I read previous reviews on Eagle's Nest which helped me make my decision and they are all spot-on!  This is a great place with spectacular views and where you can relax and soak up nature.  The accommodations are very comfortable and well appointed.  We arrived at the house late due to a very long line in customs and bad traffic/construction/accidents in San Jose.  Stefan was accommodating to the late arrival and then drove down to Jaco to show us the road so we could get food and groceries.  His helpfulness and suggestions were much appreciated throughout the stay.  This is definitely a place to which I plan to return!!

Amazing place with amazing views! Get a 4x4 and you’ll be fine. Everything you can possible need or want to do is a short drive highly recommended! It was raining season no problem with internet or electricity enjoyed my stay

For those people, families or groups of friends who like to be in a property with all the facilities, but away from absolutely everything, this is it. There is no photo that honors the sunsets that can be seen from the pool. And Stefan and his wife's treatment are excellent, always attentive to anything you might need. Definitely a fate that we want to visit again. P.S. For those who like to arrive in a sedan, if it's possible to do it, only the last 500 meters get a little ugly, but nothing that a slow pace doesn't fix.

Para aquellas personas, familias o grupos de amigos que les gusta estar en una propiedad con todas las facilidades, pero alejadas de absolutamente todo, aquí es. No hay foto que le de honor a los atardeceres que se pueden apreciar desde la piscina. Y el trato de Stefan y su esposa son excelentes, siempre atentos a cualquier cosa que uno pueda necesitar. Sin duda un destino el cual queremos volver a visitar. P.D. Para quien guste llegar en un sedan, si es posible lograrlo, solo los últimos 500 metros se pone un poco feo, pero nada que un ritmo despacio no solucione.

Amazing private secluded stay. The house was spotless clean, modern and perfect. Stefan was only a whatsapp message away and felt as if we had the entire mountain to ourselves. The pool is huge and the view breathtaking. Thanks Stefan.

This house is where you want to stay! Stop all other searches and book! Stefan and his wife went so above and beyond what a host does.  I felt like he was a friend by the end of our stay.  He offered so many options for us and personally took us to some local waterfalls.  Right down the road there is a great restaurant that felt like your mother was cooking for you.  Thank you so much Stefan for blowing our minds!   Side note, If you are coming from the south, it would make it easier in a 4x 4, but if you are coming from the north, the road is paved about 3/4 of the way up!
