THE ROCK HOUSE is a contemporary style home boasting EXQUISITE VIEWS OF THE PACIFIC. This two-story house sits on a 3 acre hillside property surrounded by the jungle providing a very PRIVATE and TRANQUIL backdrop for your tropical getaway. With beautiful indoor/outdoor design elements and just steps from the INFINITY POOL, the house features a spacious kitchen, dining area, living room and bathroom on the first level and TWO MASTER SUITES with private bathrooms and a balcony upstairs. The space The Rock House was built as a summer home for our family and we are honored to share it with you when we cannot be there to enjoy it ourselves! As former local boutique hotel owners, we have put a great deal of thought and heart into designing this luxury home to allow our guests to be "beach house" comfortable while exploring all that the Santa Teresa area has to offer. For the comfort of our guests, each bedroom has its own air conditioning unit that can be adjusted to individual temperature preferences. Downstairs is meant to enjoy the tropics with a more open air feeling. With large sliding glass doors with screens making up 3 sides of this space, the sea breeze and views can be enjoyed with the doors open during the day while still offering security at night. We are less than 5 minutes to the surf and sand, yet far enough from the hustle and bustle of town for peace and tranquility. Guest access Our guests have access to the entire home and private pool area. Other things to note 4x4 or ATV is required for the short drive up the hill to the house. A pro-active pest control program is maintained. However, no program is fool proof, especially in the jungle.

## The Space

The Rock House is a modern two-story residence offering stunning views of the Pacific Ocean. Nestled on a 3-acre hillside surrounded by jungle, it provides a private and peaceful setting for a tropical retreat. The home features a seamless indoor/outdoor design and is located just steps from the infinity pool.

On the first floor, you will find a spacious kitchen, dining area, living room, and bathroom. Upstairs, there are two master suites, each with a private bathroom and balcony. 

Originally built as a summer home for the family, The Rock House is now available for guests when not in use by the owners. Drawing on experience as former boutique hotel owners in the area, the home was thoughtfully designed to offer a comfortable "beach house" atmosphere while exploring all that Santa Teresa has to offer.

For guest comfort, each bedroom includes its own air conditioning unit with adjustable temperature settings. The downstairs area embraces the tropical environment with large sliding glass doors and screens on three sides, allowing sea breezes and views to be enjoyed during the day while maintaining security at night.

## Location

The property is less than five minutes from the beach and surf, yet it remains secluded enough to provide a tranquil escape away from the busy town center.

## Guest Access

Guests have full access to the entire house and the private pool area.

## Additional Information

- A 4x4 vehicle or ATV is necessary for the short drive up the hill to the house.
- A proactive pest control program is in place; however, due to the jungle environment, complete prevention cannot be guaranteed.

Very peaceful and beautiful setting. The infinity pool and views were incredible. I would stay again.

Thank you for choosing The Rock House!  We are so happy to hear that you enjoyed your stay.  We would love to host you anytime!

The villa is simply splendid. The view upon arrival is stunning! The villa is beautiful and well equipped, and the windows on the ground floor and in the bedrooms allow you to see the ocean everywhere and at all times. We can see the surfers from the villa, we had the visit of several groups of monkeys, we saw iguanas, and the caretaker's adorable dog (who is also super nice!) spent all his time with us, to the great delight of our children. It was a really great vacation, and the hosts were super nice and responsive. We can't wait to come back! Thank you, Jessica and Mickey!

La villa est tout simplement splendide. La vue en arrivant est stupéfiante! La villa est belle, bien équipée, les fenêtres tant au RDC que dans les chambres permettant de voir l'océan partout et en tout temps. Nous pouvons voir les surfeurs de la villa, nous avons eu la visite de plusieurs groupes de singes, nous avons vu des iguanes et le chien adorable du gardien (suoer gentil en plus!) a passé tout son temps avec nous, au grand plaisir des nos enfants. C'était vraiment des vacances géniales et les hôtes ont été super gentils et réactifs. Nous avons déjà hâte de revenir! Merci Jessica et Mickey!

What a lovely home. I will be coming back again soon. Everything was clean and well appointed. Highly recommend!

Thank you so much for choosing The Rock House.  We would absolutely love to have you back anytime.

We loved our stay at Rock House. The infinity pool and the view of the waves/surfers are breathtaking. The only downside was the water pressure in the showers, especially in the bedrooms. However, the outdoor shower balanced it all out. I also advise you to rent a 4x4 or an ATV with comprehensive insurance to get there, because the dirt roads are not suitable for other vehicles and can cause some damage if the driver is not careful. However, the location is worth it. Thanks again!

Nous avons adoré notre séjour au Rock House. La piscine à débordement et la vue sur les vagues/surfeurs est à couper le souffle. Le seul bémol était la pression de l’eau dans les douches, particulièrement dans les chambres. Cependant, la douche extérieure est venue balancer le tout. Je vous conseille aussi de louer un 4x4 ou un ATV avec une assurance complète pour vous rendre car les routes apiques ne se font pas autrement et peuvent causer certains dommages si le conducteur n’est pas attentif. Toutefois, l’emplacement en vaut la peine. Merci encore!

Incredible house! We loved it and it was perfectly equipped for our needs. The views were breathtaking. The photos of the house and the description were spot on but even better in person. You definitely need the 4WD but it was worth it! Highly recommend this home! Hosts were responsive and nice to have caretaker close in case we needed anything

Absolutely incredible accommodation in a very nice environment where you really felt a taste of wild nature with monkeys, iguanas, coatis (?) in an incredibly nice environment. The way there was well described by our host, and it was still easy to find even though the GPS couldn't find the way. Will come back. A completely magical place!

Helt otroligt fina boende i en väldigt fin miljö där man verkligen kände sig fick provsmak av vild natur med apor, leguaner, näsbjörnar (?) med otroligt fin miljö. Vägen dit var bra beskrivet av vår värd och det blev ändå enkelt att hitta trots att gps inte hittade vägen. Kommer komma tillbaka, helt magiskt ställe!

BEAUTIFUL views! Felt like we were in jungle paradise. So peaceful and stunning view from every angle. ⛔️Caution:⛔️ you MUST have a 4x4 or rent an ATV to get to the Airbnb! Steeps gravel roads with some potholes so be prepared for a bumpy ride. Arriving during day light also highly recommend. Other than that we loved our stay! Just a stunning clean and peaceful place. Highly recommend and will be back. Host was also very helpful & friendly and the property - again BEAUTIFUL 😍

Very close to town but remote. Was able to drive to the house and back to the beach in 10 minutes. Sunsets on the beach are incredible and I had only imagine they are from the house. The drive is pretty typical of a private Costa Rican rental - very steep uphill with some loosens deep gravel. Manageable but if you’re not familiar with driving in those sort of conditions might be challenging. But totally manageable. Thanks for a great stay . Very responsive and helpful care, caretaker, and host.

We had a wonderful time at the Rock House. The view of the ocean was incredible and the pool was so relaxing. The house is very private and we loved all of the animals that came to visit. The local beaches are amazing and there were so many restaurants in the area.

It was my wife and I and another couple. This house gave privacy when we needed it and was also great for hanging out and visiting. Pool was relaxing and refreshing. Great sitting area around the pool. Has everything you need in a great vacation home. Very responsive and quick to help if we needed anything.  House is away from the busy street but still close enough to walk if you want to. Sitting outside the view of the ocean and hearing the ocean at night was spectacular.

To say this location is perfect is an understatement. Beautiful house and scenery. Watch the surfers from the infinity pool. Enjoy the troupe of white-faced monkeys come through the trees. The food was amazing, the people were so friendly. We even had a daily visit from the caretakers dog, Whyda. I would recommend this house to anyone.

Loved it here! The view is next level. Make sure you say what’s up to the iguana that comes by. He’s very friendly

Thank you for choosing The Rock House.  It was an absolute pleasure hosting you. So happy that you enjoyed making friends with the surrounding wildlife!

phenomenal view located in the heart of Santa Teresa close to everything.

The Rock House has a beautiful view. Private, quiet modern home.  We got to hear and see monkeys almost every day right outside.  Wonderful experience.

Thank you so much for choosing The Rock House!  We are so happy to hear that you enjoyed your stay. Watching the monkeys play in the trees just never gets old!

Very nice, very clean, amazing views of the sea and sunsets, we even got to visit the capuchin monkeys. Everything was perfect.

Très beau,très propre, vue incroyable sur la mer et les couché de soleil, nous avons même eu droit à la visite de singe capucins. Tout étais parfait

We are so happy to hear that you enjoyed your stay!  Pura Vida!

The view is amazing! The infinity pool is gorgeous and clean. The outdoor shower was perfect to rinse off before a dip or after coming home from the beach. We were very comfortable in the house and felt safe. I wish we could have stayed longer!

Everything was perfect, it was a fantastic vacation, thank you 😊

Alles war perfekt, es war ein traumhaft schöner Urlaub, danke 😊

It was a wonderful stay. Four-wheel drive is definitely necessary, but the house is amazing! We could hardly believe our eyes, everything you need is there. Even nicer than in the photos! We will be happy to come back!

Es war ein wunderschöner Aufenthalt. Allrad ist auf jeden Fall notwendig, aber das Haus ist der Wahnsinn! Wir konnten unseren Augen kaum glauben, alles da was man braucht. Noch schöner als auf den Fotos! Wir kommen sehr gerne wieder!

Thank you for choosing The Rock House for your stay in Santa Teresa.  We are so happy to hear that you enjoyed your stay.

An amazing gem! The house is beautiful, with breathtaking views and all the necessary amenities. The host was extremely responsive when we had a few questions. Just please bear in mind that the house is up a steep road, and part of the road is unpaved, so a 4x4 is a must, as we really struggled with our 2x4.

Beautiful home with great amenities. Easy access to the beaches and restaurants at Santa Teresa but also quiet and peaceful. Highly recommend for families!

Great stay! ATV is a must. Beautiful views, comfy beds and well equipped kitchen.

Beautiful home - very spacious, with amazing views and a super comfortable setup. It had everything we needed and more!

Exceptional place! We had the most amazing time and plan on returning. Be careful driving at night it can be hard to find at first but once you are familiar it is a very easy area to maneuver. Thank you!!!!!

We are so happy that you enjoyed The Rock House!  It was an absolute pleasure hosting you and we hope that you will one day return.

We liked the place very much with the location. We could watch beautiful sunsets from the pool. The house was well equipped and we were able to use everything perfectly. The place was as shown on the pictures. We felt very safe, the local caretaker also took care of us when we had questions. Since you are in the middle of the forest, you can see many animals around the house. We were able to see many iguanas and geckos.

Uns hat die Unterkunft mit der Lage bestens gefallen. Wir konnten aus dem Pool wunderschöne Sonnenuntergänge beobachten. Das Haus war gut ausgestattet und wir konnten alles bestens nutzen. Die Unterkunft war wie auf den Bildern zu sehen. Wir haben uns sehr sicher gefühlt, der lokale Caretaker hat sich ebenfalls um uns gekümmert, wenn wir Fragen hatten. Da man sich mitten im Wald befindet, sieht man viele Tiere ums Haus herum. Wir konnten viele Leguane und Geckos sichten.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this wonderful jungle villa. The view was stunning. The house and pool were pristine. And the wildlife was incredible. Can’t wait to return!

Incredible place to stay, unreal view. Will cherish my stay for a lifetime. Jessica was also so responsive and an amazing host. Absolutely loved it.

The place was great, everything matched the listing and met our expectations. Just a heads-up: there are quite a few bugs, which is probably to be expected given the location, but worth noting. Getting in and out of the house and into town can be a bit of a hassle. That said, the view makes it all worthwhile. If you're looking for peace and scenery, this spot delivers.

We had a wonderful stay! Everything was perfect – the place is very clean, well equipped and the view just fantastic. The way to the accommodation is described exactly, an all-wheel drive car is absolutely necessary. But the journey is absolutely worth it, because you will be rewarded with peace and a great environment. Alfredo, the security staff, was very friendly and helpful  and the hostess was also extremely warm and attentive. Highly recommended!

Wir hatten einen wundervollen Aufenthalt! Alles war perfekt – die Unterkunft ist sehr sauber, bestens ausgestattet und die Aussicht einfach traumhaft. Der Weg zur Unterkunft ist genauso beschrieben, ein Allrad-Auto ist unbedingt notwendig. Aber die Anfahrt lohnt sich absolut, denn dafür wird man mit Ruhe und einer großartigen Umgebung belohnt. Alfredo, der Security-Mitarbeiter, war sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit  und auch die Gastgeberin war äußerst herzlich und aufmerksam. Sehr empfehlenswert!

We really enjoyed our time in Santa Teresa.  This home was top notch with an am ocean view.  Everything was perfect!

this place was exactly or even better than expected! the view was amazing and you can hear the oceans waves crashing at night which I did not expect! they also helped us line up local activities at good prices. great value

A fantastic stay at Rock House.  If you love privacy, wildlife and a great infinity pool to cool off in after a hot day...it's perfect.

Place was in a beautiful location. Very clean! Came very well equipped. View is amazing and Wilfredo was just the sweetest. Would definitely stay here again and recommend this place

One of the best airbnbs I have stayed at. Yes, reiterating that a 4X4 is necessary to get up the steep road, but worth it for the seclusion from the busy main road  in my opinion. We rented an ATV and that worked great for quickly getting up and down. Howler monkeys, iguana and various beetles were all frequent visitors during our stay. The view from the infinity pool is hard to beat and was a great place to relax after a day of surfing/hiking.

It takes some time to reach Santa Teresa by car, then you go "off road" on a steep road to climb until the house and when you arrive you forget about the road when you discover the view and the house. The house is beautiful, fully functional (except maybe the water pressure sometimes and the heat in the main room if you don't ventilate at the right time), the swimming pool is well placed making the dream view become real. After a few trips to city center, you will get use to the road reaching the house by car.

Einfach nur Wow!!  Unbeschreiblich schön!!

Absolutely beautiful house with an incredible view!  The house was immaculate & very spacious.  The pool was wonderful too!

This was our second stay at The Rock House and we really enjoyed it. The view over the pool to the ocean never gets old!!’ We had an ATV for our entire stay which I would Highly recommend to come up the hill.

2nd stay at the Rock House. Best view in Santa Teresa 4x4 required

I enjoyed the home,  as with other reviews you 100% need a 4x4 it’s a wild ride up.  I drove up at night the first time up and it’s was a bit scarey.  Got used to it after a couple trips.  No way you would want to try to walk to the town from the home.  You’re 100% in the jungle so you might get some surpises, some good, some, well interesting. I saw monkeys everyday holler and capuchin.  That made it worthwhile for me. If you’re into nature then you’ll love it.

My boyfriend & I stayed at Jessica’s airbnb for our 22nd birthday and it was an amazing trip! The airbnb is beautiful and just as pictured. There is so much nearby like our favorite breakfast spots The Roastery & The Bakery. The house keeper was so nice and helped us so much! He has such a sweet dog that would come up to the airbnb (if you’re ok with it) which was so nice because we missed our pup that was at home 🥹 Overall this was the best airbnb I have ever stayed in. The pool was so nice to come back to after a long day of exploring. We felt right at home! The hosts are SUPER quick to respond and overall the nicest people ever!! Couldn’t recommend this Airbnb more, thank you so much for the best birthday trip!! This will be where we stay every time we come to Santa Teresa 🫶🏼🫶🏼

This place is beautiful! The style, the furniture, the design. Perfection! The beds were extremely comfortable as well. And the pool was the best place to hang out, comfortable lounge chairs were exactly the right touch. The view to the water. Stunning! Kitchen had all that we needed. And the welcome we got from Kira, the caretakers dog, every day just made the place even better. She even left us her chew bone as a gift on the porch. What amazing hospitality! 🐾 Even with a 4x4 SUV which we had, the road up that STEEP hill is very difficult to navigate. Parts of the road are washed away and all the work trucks coming and going only make the huge potholes even bigger, if thsta possible. Even going slow, we bottomed out the car numerous times. Maybe it’s different during peak season, but just in case you are visiting during rainy season, I definitely get the full coverage insurance on your rental car as you will not be returning it the same condition. 😜 Would stay again for sure! ❤️

The house was amazing and has everything that we were needed for cooking! very isolated location but you must have an awd vehicle

The place was absolutely magnificent! The entire experience felt like a dream. The pool was spacious , with crystal-clear water that seemed to merge with the horizon. The location was perfect—close enough to everything we needed, yet tucked away just enough to feel secluded and serene. But what truly set this place apart were the breathtaking ocean views. No photo could ever capture the sheer beauty and expansiveness of the scenery. We were lucky enough to spot whales in the distance, and even had a few curious monkeys make an appearance nearby. It was an unforgettable experience that combined natural beauty with unparalleled comfort. I can’t recommend it enough!

Amazing views! Highly recommend staying at The Rock House. Great location with easy access to the beach and many restaurants. We enjoyed renting ATVS to explore the area and were able to get them delivered right to the house. Looking forward to coming back in the future.

Incredibly serene and peaceful spot. The view is incredible.  Definitely need high clearance vehicle to get to property.

Absolutely, beautiful place tucked into the side of a mountain surrounded by nature. Frequently heard howler monkeys. Enjoyed the view all day. Definitely need a 4 x 4 to the house, but it is totally worth it.

Our flight was delayed and it was dark when we arrived in Santa Teresa; we didn't get check-in instructions and directions until we were in Costa Rica, without internet. Because of this I couldn't download the photos or Pin on how to locate the house. The taxi driver wasn't familiar with the Rock House Calle Buenos Aires location and after driving around for awhile he called a number listed on our reservation confirmation. We finally found the house and keys were left in the door for us which was great! Jessica Rose did try to order ATVs for our arrival but the company didn't leave them since we weren't there to pay or sign a rental agreement We had to over pay for delivered pizza that night because we didn't have transportation. The grounds keeper was great and called the internet company for us after we lost connection for half a day. He cleaned the pool in the mornings and was very helpful. The house is modern and beautiful!

Thank you so much for your feedback. We always strive to make sure that our guests are happy. While I am sorry to hear that your flight was delayed and you arrived late causing several inconveniences, we tried accommodating you and your family the best that we could with what was in our control. As a courtesy to our guests, we often help organize transport, rentals, tours, etc., however we are obviously working within their boundaries and any reputable company is going to require paperwork for ATV or car rentals before leaving them for guests. Due to your late arrival and the business being closed, our concierge, Mikey, tried accommodating you and your family by helping to order pizza for dinner that night until the ATV's could be delivered the following morning. Sorry that you felt that you overpaid. I agree that pizza is expensive in CR, but why this is a reflection of our home is beyond me. He was trying to be nice. As for directions to the house...they are available on our rental listing for you to see along with detailed pictures all the way up our road, down our driveway and to the front door. This is available from the time of booking along with detailed written directions. Additionally, we do send a pin via WhatsApp to help guests navigate the location even easier because most for Costa Rica does not have street signs or house numbers. We do not send the pin until a day or two before typically to provide privacy to the current renters. Our concierge sent this to you as well, but unfortunately you did not have the app until you arrived in CR. We will be better about making sure that our guests have this app ahead of time. Airbnb does not allow for this feature unfortunately or we would do it through this site.

Had a lovely stay at Jessica's place while we were visiting Santa Theresa! Had amazing views from the infinity pool and the entire place was spotless! Be aware that you NEED a car with 4WD or an ATV to get to the Rock House, it is definitely not walkable! Just down the hill is the main strip that includes many restaurants, shops, and the beach. Tons of monkeys of iguanas right in the backyard!

We had an incredible stay at the Rock House! Absolutely gorgeous! The pool and outdoor hangout spaces were so amazing that we almost didn’t want to leave for the beach. Can’t wait to come back!

What a gorgeous home! Infinity pool was amazing, it felt private/secluded, and it had everything we needed for a longer stay. The overall location is perfect and only a few minutes away from town with shops, food, bars, grocery stores, etc. It's important to know that the house is up on a giant hill, so you definitely need a 4x4 or ATV rental. We made the mistake of trying to walk up the hill one night after dinner and it was awful! Also important to know that there is only AC in the bedrooms, but you definitely get used to it and the breeze from the ocean was lovely! But the home is amazing, hosts were great, and we saw lots of monkeys in the trees! Definitely would recommend!

What a beautiful place, Monkeys and an Iguana around!

The Rock House is a luxurious experience with an immaculately designed property. Everything about it is high quality. We loved the privacy of being tucked away among the trees and wading in the infinity pool while watching the ocean and stars. My wife is a birder and loved spotting a variety of birds swoop between the trees. I'd give this ten stars if I could because it was my favorite Airbnb property!

We had a fantastic time in the house. The location is amazing and we would come for sure again.

The rock house is stunning and serene. What an amazing place to stay. The house, the pool, the view…all amazing!!! Loved watching the monkeys play the outdoor shower. Highly recommend this magical place.

The Rock House, a home nestled in greenery with an amazing view of the Pacific Ocean! We had an amazing stay and can't wait to come back!

The Rock House, une maison nichée dans la verdure avec une vue incroyable sur l océan pacifique ! Nous avons passé un séjour incroyable et avons hâte de revenir !

Jessica was very responsive and helpfully. Location was amazing and the view was breathtaking. Biggest problem we had , was that there was no AC in the main Livingroom / kitchen it was unbearable. Ac in the bedrooms barley cooled Downed the rooms And we had to leave Them 24 hours a day to be able to sleep at night. The ceiling fans were completely useless. If they can put an AC in the main floor I would definitely be back. Wish I knew that before tough , as it was very very hot

Thank you for your input Amir.  We are happy to hear that you enjoyed your visit, but it seems like our house is not right for you.  As described in our property description, the downstairs living space is designed to open up on three sides offering a seamless indoor/outdoor tropical setting while still being able to lock it up for security when guests are not there.  The bedrooms each have there own air conditioning units allowing guests to control the temperature independently and we have yet to have any issues with those not being cold enough. I know that our technician came out the day after you said they did not seem to be cooling sufficiently and did a routine check to make sure that they were working properly and added gas.

We loved our stay. The house and its view are so beautiful, it's easy to just spend the day hanging at home. We enjoyed cooking in the beautiful kitchen and hanging by the pool. We saw monkeys and birds in the trees. Be warned though - the driveway is particularly steep. You really need to make sure your vehicle has 4 wheel drive. The only other thing we found is that the house could get too warm. There are AC units in both bedrooms, but they struggle to keep the room cool.

This was our 2nd time staying at The Rock House with our family and it was another amazing experience. The road up the hill getting to the house is an adventure but coming down the driveway to the beautiful and peaceful home is worth it. The covered porch off the dining room was an addition since our last stay and we used that space endlessly. The house is clean and well taken care of with a nice 'homey' feel. We love the Santa Teresa area but we are clearly not the only ones, it is a very busy area and having this wonderful house to unwind at was perfect for our family. The grounds are very well taken care of and the landscaping is done extremely well with beautiful plants in every direction you look. And of course, the ocean view is incredible.

The house is new, modern and clean. They have a small toilet, next to the kitchen, which was useful. The entrance is spacious, we liked it very much. The rooms are almost identical and the beds were super convenient. The owner of the house built it very practical, for example: the outdoor shower (easily access, after beach and surfing) and so on. The pool was also a nice plus and the view is beautiful, we have seen monkeys and coatis passing by. We highly recommend using the save (locker for valuables) inside the house. Wilfredo (taking care of the entrance and house) has a very friendly dog, we liked it very much. Wilfredo cleaned the pool every day, he tried to make no noise.

The Rock house does not disappoint!  It looks exactly like the photos. It was paradise for a week for us. You definitely need a 4x4 to get up the hill, but once you’re there the private view is worth it! It is conveniently located to all the restaurants and shops and close to beach access. We also enjoyed going to Horizon down the hill and doing yoga. There is only AC in the bedrooms but you can open the house with large screens in the main living area. Mickey was always responsive and gave great recommendations. We wouldn’t hesitate coming back and staying here again.

This spot is perfect.  It was the one spot we could stay at forever! Beautiful architecture, the pool was fantastic, and all the fun games throughout the house really did the trick. Beds are super comfy, full kitchen, everything you could ask for.

The BEST airbnb we have ever stayed in! We were truly sad to leave the rock house. The view from the pool overlooking the ocean was unbeatable. It was so nice to listen to the waves and watch the birds while sipping morning coffee. The beds were very comfortable and the AC in the bedrooms kept it nice and cool. Bathrooms were spotless. The house is so private and surrounded by nature. We truly felt at home here. Stephanie, Jessica and Mikey were amazing hosts - they even allowed us a late checkout so we could enjoy the pool for the afternoon while we waited to check in at our next place. We are already dreaming of returning to the rock house one day :)

Is our third time in this house  and we loved it , is our favorite beach house in Costa Rica , we totally recommend it !!! The best place

This place was incredible. We stayed with our 2 boys (age 5 and 7) and it was perfect. Two king beds upstairs each with their own bathroom and AC…note that there is no AC on the main level, but wasn’t an issue for us. The kitchen was great and we did plenty of cooking. The pool and that view were amazing and we did not want to leave. Super close to town and can get to restaurants, grocery stores, and the beach in minutes. Driving in Santa Teresa is no joke the road + driveway to this place are not for the faint of heart…but the payoff is so worth it, plus after you do the drive once or twice you’re used to it. Host was super helpful with activity recommendations as well…this place was absolutely incredible and I would definitely stay here again and recommend to any families spending time in Santa Teresa.

amazing house,everything was perfect,a dream stay,I recommend this house 100%

maison incroyable,tout était parfait,un séjour de rêve,je recommande cette maison a 100%

Jessica’s place was absolutely fantastic! I had a month long sabbatical from work and got to spend 8 nights here and it was beyond my expectations. It was beautiful and private, well appointed and super clean. We also got a visit from the monkeys a few times which my kids and I loved. The host was easy to reach and so helpful with proactive recommendations on things to do in the area. I would highly recommend this place and will be back in the future.

MOST stunning view ever!! We enjoyed our stay. The infinity pool with the views of the ocean was the best!! We loved the open air concept design but downstairs with no AC was a bit rough as that’s where we wanted to spend all our time. The bedrooms AC rocked! It’s definitely no knock on the house and not meant to be a negative review.. maybe it said there was no AC downstairs in the description and I missed that. With that being said we would definitely go back!! The property manager was very nice, helpful and knowledgeable about the area!

We had a amazing family vacation at this home ! Beautiful view just far enough out of town , but still so close to everything in town. If you have a 4x4 you have no issue going up the mountain to get there . My kids lived in the pool , and we saw so many monkeys in the trees around the house . We will be back !

We loved this location!! Very peaceful, quiet, and private. The views are gorgeous from the pool and the upstairs balcony. Waking up to ocean views from your bed. The house was spotless with a fully stocked kitchen of dishes and utensils to cook with. Both bedrooms had A/C and beds were super comfortable.  Mikey was really nice and met us at the gate to make sure we made it to the correct location. Check in and check out was very easy and seamless! Thank you!!!

Great spot with an awesome view… close to everything

Loved the place. It was so great to watch the surfers in the morning while enjoying a cup of coffee. The kids loved the pool and being able to be kids  in the private location. The kitchen had everything needed to make a great meal. We loved it all as wellas Jessica's helpful recommendations and great communication. I wish this place would remain a secret, but it's too good not to share with everyone! Thank you for the great stay!

This place was the highlight of our 2 week trip to Costa Rica. We stayed for a week. It’s spacious, v tasteful and well designed and the scenery is just breathtaking. Waking up to the sound of the ocean and howler monkeys is pretty magical and the pool overlooking the jungle and the sea make for an idyllic view. The daily visitors in the form of monkeys, lizards and various other creatures really added to the experience too. The drive up the hill is mentioned in all the reviews, it’s a bit hairy but if you’re a confident driver it’s totally fine, you just need to drive slowly to avoid damaging your vehicle. We had a 4x4 which we drove up and down several times a day. It’s also v close to some of the best restaurants (Katana and Koji plus horizon for yoga). The critters are to be expected if you’re next to the jungle. Just make sure you keep the doors closed at all times. The hosts were v helpful and responsive before and during our visit. Needless to say, we can’t wait to return!

We spent a week at the Rock House with our two kids and absolutely loved it! The house is beautiful and the pool and outside sitting areas made it feel like our own personal hotel. And you will never get tired of the view!! The pool was incredible - we enjoyed it a lot. And the kitchen and common areas give you lots of space for cooking and eating too. We loved the surround screen doors so everything could be open all day. Upstairs the two rooms were super comfortable and the ac made sleeping comfortable at night. Lots of space for clothing and the bathrooms were very spacious as well. And an ocean view from bed! 4x4 to get up the road is definitely a must. Like, for real. We love the area - it’s our second time to Santa Teresa and this house lets you access all that you want (not walkable though) while having a super quiet place to get away from the Main Street. Jessica, Mikey and the caretaker, Wilfredo, are very responsive and helpful - would totally recommend a stay here!!

Very nice and quiet place to stay with fantastic views. The B&B is very nicely decorated and it really doesn't feel anything. Some restaurants are nearby (500m) and within walking distance. For getting to the house, as mentioned x times in the info email, a 4x4 or ATV is necessary (I loved the route😍). We would book the accommodation again anytime!

Sehr schöne und ruhige Unterkunft mit fantastischer Aussicht. Das B&B ist sehr schön eingwrichtet und es fwhlt an wirklich nichts. Einige Restaurants sind in der Nähe (500m) und zu Fuss erreichbar. Für die Anfahrt zum Haus ist, wie x-mal im Info-Mail erwähnt, zwingen ein 4x4 oder ATV notwendig (ich habe die Strecke geliebt 😍). Wir würden die Unterkunft jederzeit wieder buchen!

Very nice, spacious place with a really super nice view of the Pacific Ocean. On several days we were able to watch Kapuzineräffchen from the house. Driving up to the house is certainly no problem for all-wheel drive drivers, it was a challenge for us. But it was worth it, the house was just perfect.

Sehr schöne, großzügige Unterkunft mit einem wirklich super schönem Blick auf den Pazifik. An mehreren Tagen konnten wir vom Haus aus Kapuzineräffchen beobachten. Die Fahrt hoch zum Haus ist für mit Allradantrieb erfahrende Fahrer sicher kein Problem, für uns war es eine Herausforderung. Aber es lohnte sich, das Haus war einfach perfekt.

The Rock House was an amazing home offering spectacular views!! We loved watching the monkeys in the trees above us as we enjoyed the beautiful infinity pool. Jessica, Stephanie and Mikey were always responsive to our questions and needs. I highly recommend staying here and spoiling yourself - you won’t regret it. It truly was a week spent in luxury and paradise!!

The Rock House is incredible! The home is very comfortable, the pool is amazing, and extras such as outdoor seating makes for a relaxing vacation. I love this home and location. We cannot wait to return!

Lovely home with great views!  Loved the pool. Monkeys and iguana visit during the day!  Road leading to house intense. Doable with 4WD SUV; many ruts and craters. One flat tire. Tire repair 3 miles away $8!! Many markets to choose from (Super Ronnie’s was our favorite) and nearly everything we needed to make meals in. Glad I brought my own cooking knives. Sunsets at Shambala and Brukas incredible!

Absolutely gorgeous, very private feeling while being close to town. Shared the outdoor shower daily with a family of capuchins! You do need not only 4x4 but also high clearance, as we unfortunately learned the hard way.

This place was like a dream and Jessica was a great host. The pictures do not do it justice at all. We had been in Costa Rica for a week and had yet to see a monkey - day 1 here and we saw a family in the tree next to the pool, several lizards and a snake. We super disliked how touristy Santa Theresa was, which was fine because we never wanted to leave the house anyway! The AC worked well in the bedrooms and they had cooking oils and spices. The only con was it was less private than we thought with the caretaker on site. He walked up to the house several times unannounced which was weird but I believe it was just to check the pool filter but a heads up would’ve been nice. Their dog also barked quite a bit. We not think twice about renting again! And they aren’t kidding when they say you need a 4x4 to access the house - make sure you have one the road to the house is horrible but makes for an adventure!

The house is exactly as pictured. Everyone we interacted with was helpful and friendly. As mentioned in other reviews, having 4 wheel drive is a must and we really liked having ATV’s delivered to the house for ease of going into town. ALL the restaurants in Santa Teresa are amazing. The pool at the house was fantastic and the view was amazing. Beds are super comfortable too. There are a lot of tiny ants that want to eat your snacks (just comes with the jungle territory) so I’d recommend bringing or buying some ziploc bags for sealable food storage. Thanks so much Jessica, Stephanie and Mikey!

Wow, Jessica’s Rock House is absolutely stunning!!! So peaceful, tranquil, spotless, and the views, even better than the pictures. The house had everything you would need and more, so many places to relax, perfect size kitchen with all the amenities. The gorgeous salt water infinity pool was so welcoming, super clean and refreshing. We loved lounging by the pool and couldn’t believe how private and peaceful it was. Above all the hustle and bustle of the Main Street. Definitely recommend a side by side or ATV’s to get up and down the hill to all the restaurants, Main Street and beaches. If this house is available when your looking don’t hesitate for a min. just book it and enjoy. You definitely won’t regret it

Villa was not ready at check in (at 3pm) and the cleaning service continued for approx. half an hour (it also wasn’t very clean to be honest) Furthermore, we couldn’t lock one of the doors as it was broken. Since it was weekend, they couldn’t fix it. Housekeeper offered to send someone taking care of the property while we would go out.  However, we didn’t feel comfortable and had to stay there and order food, instead. Even though the villa is awesome and has an amazing view, we couldn’t enjoy it at all with this major issue. Moreover, there were several other things not acceptable in our opinion (i. e. safe key and warm water only upon request, TV didn’t work proper etc.). Considering all this, and an inappropriate compensation offer from the manager, we felt screwed. Therefore, no recommendation from our side at all.

We had such an amazing two week stay at the Rock House! The location is perfect - gorgeous ocean views and very private and tucked away. The house was clean, the pool was so nice and we loved just hanging out on the patio overlooking the ocean and watching the sunset. The host (Mikey) was really helpful in communicating how to get to the house, arrange a taxi, etc. I definitely recommend an ATV to get to town and back, but the drive down into town isn't bad at all and the house is so close to lots of great restaurants, beach, shops, etc. Santa Teresa is such a lovely town! We hope to be back and hope we can stay at the Rock House again!

This place is incredible.. perfect location as described with amazing views and peaceful surroundings. Quiet and off the beaten path but easy to get to beaches and restaurants. Would definitely return.

Wow what a place! Our family loved staying here! Yes you need 4x4 or what we did was rent quads the whole time as it’s easier for around town anyways, we left our main vehicle at the top of the driveway and uses it occasionally if needed but quads from top of driveway down to the house was definitely easier! We loved having monkey families come through everyday! Jessica and everyone else was very quick to respond and easy to connect with. We loved our stay and will be back! We love staying up and away from the busy Main Street, so much more relaxing!

Perfect few days at Jessica’s beautiful home overlooking the ocean. Spotless, very modern home, super comfy beds and the pool was awesome. The access road definitely needs either a a 4X4 vehicle or an ATV, very bumpy but relatively short. We just lazed in the sun and chilled out so it met all our needs - even had tasty pizzas delivered! Could possibly do with a parasol/umbrella but that is a minor point.

BREATH TAKING!! Home is as beautiful as described and pictured. Grounds keepers are friendly and very responsive if needed. 4X4 is REQUIRED to get to the house (you can also rent a quad through local rentals or catch a taxi ride) Close to beach and plenty in area to explore. PURA VIDA

Perfect villa to enjoy Santa Teresa and the surrounding area. Very comfortable!

Parfaite villa pour profiter de Santa Teresa et des environs. Très confortable!

Beautiful home situated in the heart of Santa Teresa. This home has amazing views of the Pacific while sitting in the salt water pool. Beware of traffic (plus dogs laying in the roads, people standing in the roads, bikes and 4 wheelers going in and out traffic) and the massive potholes. Very rough roads in town and the road to the house is very steep, you will definitely need a 4x4. Tambor, Montezuma and Paquera are nice to visit. Mikey was a great host and Kira (the gate keepers dog) comes to visit. She’s so sweet and gives hugs. Best places to eat- Manzú and Kooks. Best beach - Santa Teresa. A lot of surfers. If you are traveling for excursions make time for traffic and construction.

It was an excellent experience, the house fits all needs, the proximity to restaurants and supermarkets and the access to request by express very good.

Fue una excelente experiencia, la casa se ajusta para todas las necesidades, la cercanía a restaurantes y supermercados y el acceso a solicitar por express muy bueno.

Super great house - super amenities and great views - really 1 A! However, the street is really tricky - you absolutely need a 4x4 to get to the house.

Super tolles Haus - super Ausstattung und toller Blick - echt 1 A! Die Straße ist allerdings wirklich Tricky - du brauchst zwingend einen 4x4er, um zum Haus zu gelangen.

Santa Teresa was the second stop on our two-week honeymoon and it was quite the adventure. We spent 4 nights and 5 days at this amazing home. You never tire of hearing the waves crash at the shore — and the sight lines of the ocean ... WOW — you'll never want to leave. We spent so much time in the gorgeous and refreshing saltwater infinity pool. Day or night, you just can't help but relax. The bedrooms are super comfortable with A/C. We loved to have the first floor doors open with the screens to let as much air in as possible. There are so many great details around the house. You will absolutely love it. We aren't surfer types but we did enjoy walking on the gorgeous beaches. Beautiful sunsets here. The roads are no joke. The main drag through town is a deeply rutted and rough dirt road. The road up to the house is an adventure to say the least. There are paved and unpaved portions but a 4x4 is an absolute must around here. We are still talking about the pool!

This Airbnb will be one of the best ones you will ever stay at. More beautiful than the pictures. The host communicated very well. Someone was always available to answer our questions. House itself is gorgeous, it has everything you would need to make your stay perfect. The view is breathtaking, stayed there for a week and loved every minutes of it. The bed was super comfortable. The hike up the house is very steep and we couldn’t do it by walking. We tried the first day to walk down to the town and back up and we rented an ATV the day after. It was impossible for us. If you are in good shape maybe you can do it. The host was very generous to recommend us an ATV, but we found someone else. If you rent an ATV or have a 4x4 you should be fine. Everything is very close by the shops, different beaches, restaurants and sodas and grocery stores. The host introduced us to Alex who drove us from the airport and was so kind to stop by some grocery store and soda so we could get some food. Overall one of the best stays we had in a while. No issues at all. And I would love to come back again. :) would definitely recommend this place you won’t regret it.

The house was absolutely amazing! More than what we even expected. We enjoyed the pool and the view a lot! Beach is not too far and you have a store and nice restaurants nearby. We’ve had an amazing 4 days here!

The Rock house is amazing, we had a great time!, we decided to spend our daughter 15 birthday in Santa Teresa, first time in Costa Rica. The place is an adventure, the road to the hills is intimidating the first day , later is more fun. You will need a 4x4 . The montezuma waterfall has a private way to entering We know later at the exit. The beach in Santa Teresa is for surfing but I see later from a charter flight from cobano to San José, a quiet beach over there is about 40 minutes drive. The best is the fishermen in mal país I know later they sale fresh fish every day at the end of the road, I get an atún fillet nothing like I taste before, super fresh!! Highly recommend. Also take in consideration the best way to get to the house is taking a local flight from San José to tambor , the ferry take to much time. Same to return. You need to book the domestic flight 24 hours before your arrival to San José. House is incredible view . Monkeys only see on first day maybe on September they hide from the rain, raining most afternoons and nights. There’s a sweet dog called kira who is around the house. We have a great time at the Rock house!.
