Wonderful 4BR Oceanfront | Shared Pool | Balcony - Houses for Rent in Cabo Matapalo, Pu, Costa Rica

A remote place, ideal for enjoying nature. Difficult roads

Lugar remoto, ideal para disfrutar la naturaleza. Carreteras dificiles

Hi Paul, thank you for sharing your experience with us, we are glad you enjoyed our lovely home. We appreciate your feedback regarding the remote location and the challenging roads. Thank you for choosing to stay with us, we look forward to hosting you again in the future!

Beautiful location.  Joel and his wife are wonderful people

A magic stay in Matapalo ! We rented both Casa Verde and Avari with 2 other families ( 11 in total ). We ate down in Casa Verde to take advantage of the ocean views and air coming through.  The beds were really comfortable up in Casa Avari. ( 2 great doubles with nice outside bathrooms ) There are also 2 sofa beds  if needed, but if it rains, the one upstairs can get wet. Such an amazing place to wake up in the morning to the sounds of the jungle and sometimes the monkeys looking in! The little pool area is refreshing and a great space to relax.  The beds down in Casa Verde were smaller ( 2 smaller doubles and a twin room down stairs ). The 2 houses work really well together, not sure if it  would work as well if there were 2 separate groups. The team on site were great and very helpful! Beach out the front was pretty wild, but there was big swell. Any surfers, be aware, Backwash and Pan dulce are a bit of a slog to walk to, or you need to drive. Miss Matapalo, a great place :)

As other guests have said, these 2 homes are absolutely amazing and in a fantastic location. Orlando, Joel-wife Marie and daughter, the lady doing laundry, & the groundskeepers were WONDERFUL! My only issue is I rented these two homes +the 3rd home on the property, Casa Contiki, to ensure we would have total privacy/quiet. No one at this Vacasa co. mentioned there was a major construction project going on right between the 2nd and 3rd homes even though I emailed them several times asking about privacy. So we had generators/saws/etc going on all day, every day we were there. I reached out to Vacasa when I returned home to voice my frustration & waste of money renting the 3rd home but other than ‘we will pass it on and someone will get back with you’, I haven’t heard anything back from them. After years of renting through Airbnb this is the first time I felt deceived about a property. NOTE: Daily parked traffic/people in front of Casa Verde which surprised me for how remote

Amazing view and right in the middle of the jungle. Not a swimming beach in front though. Rocky 4x4 track to access. Two houses with own facilities. Very clean. Refreshing plunge pool for the kids. Lovely sleeping to sound of booming surf. Great for a group visit off the beaten track.

Cabo Matapalo is paradise and it was an honor to stay in such lovely accommodations! It is off the beaten path but sooo well worth the effort. The monkeys visited everyday; we even had an ant eater stop by one afternoon! Orlando and the rest of the staff could not have been nicer - I can’t say enough about how kind and helpful they all are. Thank you for an incredible trip that we will talk about for years to come!

An absolutely amazing property offering complete immersion in nature where "the jungle meets the ocean." Case Verde and Aviari are both very spacious, comfortable, and well appointed. The first -- sits beachfront and has a deck with a breathtaking view; the second -- is structured as a birdhouse giving you inverted zoo experience (expect daily visits from capuchins, coatis, and other creatures). If you decide to stay (and you definitely should!), you'll have to part with A/C for a few days -- but the rewards are absolutely worth it. Case Verde/Aviari will remain among the most memorable AirBnBs we've stayed at, and are a fantastic way to experience the beauty of the Osa Peninsula. Finally, Orlando is an amazing property manager and was instrumental to making this a 5* experience.

Wow. Just wow. What an amazing place. We were 3 families traveling with 4 kids ages 4-11 so we rents both houses. Back house is SUPER unique with an attached frog sanctuary. And the toads come out at night to share your space and eat bugs. But that’s what we loved about this place… we are just sharing space with the wild life. The front house is a totally different more traditional Costa Rican jungle house vibe. This is where we ended our nights with the awesome breeze from the ocean. Although we did go swimming out front once, we ended up venturing out to other more swimmable beaches and there are close ones near by. Tip: check out Martina’s for lunch. Usually a sloth up in the tree. Also Marluna is a great place - it’s a bar WITH a pool. Both of these are only 10-15 mins away. Everyone had a great time. The monkeys came everyday around lunch, the macaws where always circling overhead and the sound of the waves put us all to sleep every night.

This was an incredible stay for our big group of students who needed to get away for the weekend! Everything was beautiful and clean upon arrival.  The only things that we had trouble with were the halloween crabs and ants, but it was worth it for the open air, all natural living that we got to experience. Orlando was great as well, always willing to help out with anything we needed. Overall amazing stay!

Once you arrive, you feel like you have landed at the end of the world...in paradise.  Words nor pictures can give you the feeling of peace and relaxation at Casa Verde.  We had a group of 8 in their 50s and 60s+, some who had never been to a country outside of the U.S.  We stocked up on food in San Jose so we had all the groceries need for the 4 days we were there.  The tree house out back felt like a 'reverse' zoo, where the monkeys looked in at us every day!  The ocean waves could wake you sometimes...but mostly we loved the sounds of the ocean and jungle at night.  The ocean front is quite rocky in front of the house but a nice sandy beach is just a few mintues walk down the road. Joel, the host, was extremely nice and accomodating and felt like we were saying goodbye to friend at the end of our stay.  This place is definitely remote, 4WD is a MUST....but well worth it!

We were so lucky to have stayed at Casa Verde! The 10 of us were delighted to have the two houses to stay in! This well kept Airbnb is well located in front of the beach and at the end of the secluded Matopalo! The front house is a beautifully crafted wooden house with open architecture with 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. The Newly built second house is also open architecture with two awesome bedrooms and bath! Enjoy the property as you will be visited by white faced monkeys, anteaters, Scarlett macaws, frogs, bugs, all types birds and butterflies. Lock up tag fridge! We stayed for 4-5 days and got one rental car. We made sure to stock up at the grocery store in Pueto Jimenez before checkin in as the town/grocery store is 45 minutes away on a bumpy road. You need a tall vehicle to get there in the dry season. But definitely a 4x4 in the wet season. We hiked, went to the 3 beaches to surf and swim and enjoyed the excursions offered by locals such as repelling down the 100 water fall and horseback riding through the meadows/jungle. The jungle meets the sea and it’s a slice of heaven in this part of the world. We highly recommend this wild place to all as it’s much needed for every soul. We will be back!

A beautiful house in a wonderful place, only the function of the person in charge of receiving you fails, it is difficult to find it and does not solve the problems.

Una casa preciosa en un lugar maravilloso, solo falla la función de la persona encargada de recibirte, cuesta encontrarlo y no resuelve los problemas.

Might be one of the most spectacular djungle villas I have booked in Osa. The villas are located at the very end of the famous surf breaks Pan Dulce, Backwash and Matapalo and it is a 5min drive to Pan Dulce. To Matapalo and Backwash I simply walked down there. Be aware that this airbnb consist of 2 villas right next to each other and up to 10 people could sleep there. The upper villa is open, but fenced so no animals are able to enter the living space. The ocean villa is not fenced and relativley open, it can get loud so close to the beach if the waves are big but for me it is one of the most beautiful sounds to fall sleep. Both villas are so nicely decorated and the kitchen was very well equipped with all kinds of devices (blender available). David and Rolando are great house keepers and were always at hand if there were issues. His uncle even brought us fresh Coconuts in the morning. The wifi is solid for doing basic stuff, but if you intend to stream something or work there remotely, that is rather difficult. But please if you come down there to Osa Peninsula, just forget work and enjoy nature and probably one of the best surf spots in the world if the swell is high enough.

If you want to get off the grid, this is a good place to do it. There are only two local restaurants (plus Lapa Rios, a bit pricy but worth it, tho not really that much more expensive than the other restaurants, expect to pay $50 to $100 for lunch for two with alcoholic drinks anywhere you go) and the store in town is an hour away. You’ll need a 4-wheel drive. You’ll need to have a plan for the store, and don’t forget ice. The house is so close to the water that the waves can be deafening at high tide. Good WiFi. David, the on property caretaker, is awesome. Anything you need, any issues, he’s there for you. The monkeys (capuchins) eat plantains out of your hand and the hawks will visit and tell you verbally to throw fresh meat or fish on the grass so they can swoop down and pick it up. Don’t leave trash or food in the kitchen, especially at night, the coatis will come and make a mess. Pro tip: Take a night hike with a LED headlamp to King Luis falls, but use the upper trail to the left accessible by walking up the road/driveway a bit and taking a right onto the path. But don’t slip, or you may not live to tell about it. Climbing up the actual stream would be a bit much at night for most people (that’s what we did to get there the first time and the rocks can be very slippery). There is a washer and dryer there so rather than bring a lot of clothes, pack light and wash your dirty ones. Please be advised that the “pool” is about the size of a large jacuzzi, and while we were there did not hold water. Expect to buy everything you need at the store, including salt and pepper, charcoal and lighter (rubbing alcohol is the best value) and bring a good bar of soap/shampoo and scrub brush. They have shampoo, conditioner and body wash in the bathrooms, but I was happy I had my brand. I wish I had brought my lime squeezer (the store does not have). Overall we loved it, it was like staying in a rustic jungle cabin. The time flew by. I would recommend it to anyone who wants relative solitude who can live without the bells and whistles (fresh fluffy towels and robes, piping hot showers) of a resort style place.

Thank you for staying with us, Brian! We appreciate you taking the time to write about your experience, and we're happy to hear that you enjoyed your visit. We will make sure that the pool is holding water as it should. We hope to host you again!

Amazing location and great people.   The perfect place to relax and focus on friends, family and nature.  Located in a great community.

This place is amazing! We loved our stay. David was very responsive and everything was as expected. This place is lovely.
