Everything is fine, except that the kitchen needs maintenance and some lights need to be changed

Todo bien solo que la cocina ocupa mantenimiento y algunas luces necesitan ser cambiadas

We went with a group of 6 friends, and we were impressed with how beautiful the house is. It is very large and luxurious, we used the pool a lot and we were all extremely comfortable. The kitchen was very spacious and has incredible balconies and one of the rooms has a phenomenal view. Very spacious spaces and beautiful bathrooms. We had trouble with access, to get to the location there was a very steep stretch of about 500 meters, and since we were in a large van it was difficult. The climb to the house is extremely steep and it is not in good condition, so it was impossible to go up with the vehicle, we had to leave it down about 15 meters away. Also keep in mind that at the time of our stay, there was a construction in front and they generated a lot of noise. On weekends, the peace is beautiful and absolute. I highly recommend staying with Jude. Super friendly and has a beautiful house. He also welcomed us with Papaya and Coffee.

Fuimos con un grupo de 6 amigos, y quedamos impresionados con lo hermosa que es la casa. Es muy grande y lujosa, la pileta la usamos muchísimo y estábamos todos extremadamente cómodos. La cocina era muy amplia y tiene unos balcones increíbles y una de las habitaciones tiene una vista fenomenal. Espacios muy amplios y baños hermosos. Se nos complicó con el acceso, para llegar hasta la ubicación había un tramo de unos 500 metros muy empinada, y como íbamos en una van grande se nos complicó. La subida hasta la casa es extremadamente empinada y no esta en buenas condiciones por lo que fue imposible subir con el vehículo, tuvimos que dejarlo abajo a unos 15 metros. Además tener en cuenta que al momento de nuestra estadía, había una construcción enfrente y generaban muchísimo ruido. En fin de semana la paz es bellísima y absoluta. Recomiendo ampliamente que se hospeden con Jude. Súper amable y cuenta con una casa hermosa. Además nos recibió con Papaya y Café.

Everything was excellent!! Jude was very attentive! Recommendation to bring mosquito repellent and have a 4x4 car for the climb!! Other everything excellent

Todo excelente!! Jude demasiado atento! Recomendación llevar repelente para mosquitos y contar con auto 4x4 para la subida!! Demás todo excelente

Hunter and Jude's house is spectacular. The design and architecture of the spaces is even better than the photos shown. 100% recommended. Good location to drive down to the beach, since walking back is a bit tiring. The pool is very nice to cool off when returning from the beach or walks.

La casa de Hunter y Jude es espectacular. El diseño y la arquitectura de los espacios es mejor aún que las fotos mostradas. 100% recomendado. Buena ubicación para bajar en auto a la playa, ya que caminando se hace un poco cansador el regreso. La piscina es muy agradable para refrescarse al regresar de la playa o los paseos.

Really enjoyed staying here for a month. It was really cool seeing the monkeys from the deck and is a great place to get away.

It was incredible to stay at Jaguar house! I only suggest to install an AC in the kitchen/living room to get that area more comfortable/fresh The rest was amazing! 10/10

The house is very nice, very well located and equipped. The service is quick and attentive. The views and nearby beaches are beautiful.

La casa es muy bonita, muy bien ubicada y equipada. La atención es rápida y atenta. Las vistas y las playas cercanas son preciosas.

We stayed for the 4th of almost a month and it was outstanding. You took care of our well-being from day one to the last day. Even if electricity and water went down, fixes and solutions were immediately sought! It was a great place and highly recommended!

Wir waren zu 4. beinahe ein Monat zu Gast und es war hervorragend. Man kümmerte sich von Tag eins bis zum letzten Tag um unser Wohlbefinden. Auch wenn einmal Strom und Wasser ausgefallen sind wurde sofort um Behebung und Lösungen gesucht! Es war eine super Unterkunft und nur weiter zu empfehlen!

This is a great house for our family of 8.  Easy to find, the beach at the bottom of calle jaguar is open, uncrowded and has fun waves away from the crowded in central santa teresa.  We enjoyed the whole home, being in the jungle, and the view.  The downside is the living room and kitchen are open air, no screens on the windows and no ac in that space makes it difficult to use.  It was too hot and buggy.  We had to use the smaller room in the other house to gather.  House cleaners are awesome, Jude communicates quickly and is helpful.  With some glass windows and ac in the living room and kitchen, this house would be a much more comfortable space.

Beautiful luxurious villa. On the other hand there is no mosquito net, so dinner with butterflies, spiders and various bugs and in the bedrooms. Less ideal configuration for families with young children since the rooms only communicate from the outside. Otherwise the view, the pool, the fauna and flora are all amazing! Howler monkeys, lizard, hummingbird and lots of others a few meters away. Recommends for 2, 3 couples or families with teenagers.

Magnifique villa luxueuse. Par contre il n’y a pas de moustiquaire, donc souper avec papillons, araignées et bestioles variées et dans les chambres. Configuration moins idéal pour famille avec jeunes enfants puisque les chambres ne communiquent que par l’extérieur. Autrement la vue, la piscine, la faune et la flore sont tous incroyables! Singes hurleurs, lézard, colibri et pleins d’autres à qq mètres. Recommande pour 2, 3 couples ou familles avec ados.

Everything was perfect, the only thing to improve is the sink, it wasn’t working properly. But the house was beautiful and the communication with the owner was awesome. Fully recommend it!

The house is beautiful, perfect for going with a group of people In my opinion, I think they should give greater maintenance to the whole house since the kitchen sink does not leave the water well and the water is stagnated, just like that of the bathrooms, in the kitchen part there were traces of mice so we had to keep the food isolated. On the last night we were without power, apparently in the winter seasons a lot this happens in this area where it is not a matter of the house.

La casa es hermosa, perfecta para ir con grupo de personas En mi criterio opino que deben de darle mayor mantenimiento a toda la casa ya que el fregadero de la cocina no se va el agua bien y queda estancada el agua, igual que el de los baños, en la parte de la cocina habían rastros de ratones por lo que tuvimos que mantener la comida aislada. La última noche nos quedamos sin luz, aparentemente en las temporadas de invierno pasa mucho esto en esta zona por el cual no es asunto de la casa.

Super easy to find. We were worried about the other reviews about having to have a 4x4, especially because we drove in with a 14 person van. We made it easily all the way up to the cover on the house with no problems. The host had cleaners come during our stay and they were so awesome. They did our laundry and were very respectful. 10/10 stay!

The place was beautiful just like the pictures , getting there was easy , the pool the rooms very nice , the view was nice ,  it did had a work area how ever the electricity goes out very often do not recommend   if WiFi is needed , phone signal doesn’t work so have that in mind , overall will definitely go back for vacation  .

The is extremely responsive. The place was just perfect. Nothing bad to say.

Hunters place has an amazing view in the mountain of Santa Teresa, the bad part is to enter to the house is really difficult even with 4x4 car, the photos of the entrance aren’t the current reality, we had to rent a ATV to easily go out and in. Other than that mi family and I had a good time. Thanks

Hunter was very communicative and helpful. The location was as described and very close to the beach, shopping, and dining options. He was nice enough to refer us to one of his buddies to take us on a fishing day-trip and we had a wonderful time. Relaxing place with nice views and plenty of room for the 6 of us adults. would highly recommend! Thanks hunter!

The house is incredible, it is even better in person, the pictures don't do it justice. If you are hesitating, just book it! Hunter and Jude were fantastic hosts and went above and beyond to make everything a breeze. Would 100p stay again!

Very zen and unique property with nice hosts.

Hunter was a great host and Casa Jaguar was extremely beautiful! Recommended 100% if you want some luxury with nature included.

Hunter's home is a a beautiful oasis on a hill overlooking Santa Teresa beach. It's spacious, designed well and very clean. Hunter went above and beyond communicating with me ahead of and during my stay to ensure that everything was smooth.

Beautiful house with an awesome and very trendy open plan concept. The sofa furniture, patio chairs etc. are however very worn and outdated and there could be more furniture to sit outside etc. There is also a lot of dishes, kitchen accessories, wine cups, etc. On the other hand, the location is extremely close to the beach and everything is easily accessible. You can see monkeys from the balcony, a magical moment. The beds are very comfortable. The cleaner came during the stay and was well appreciated. Entry is difficult to access a 4x4 is really necessary and an atv would even be better than a vehicle. But the whole house is still really great and we enjoyed our stay. Jude was very helpful and friendly.

Superbe maison avec un concept à aire ouverte génial et très tendance. Les meubles divan chaises de patio etc. sont cependant très usés et désuets et il pourrait y avoir plus de mobilier pour s’asseoir dehors etc. Il manque aussi beaucoup de vaisselles, accessoire de cuisine, coupes à vin, etc. Par contre, l’emplacement est extrêmement proche de la plage et tout est facilement accessible. On voit des singes du balcon, moment magique. Les lits sont très confortables. La femme de ménage est venue durant le séjour et fut bien appréciée. L’entrée est difficile d’accès un 4x4 est vraiment nécessaire et un atv serait même mieux qu’un véhicule. Mais somme toute la maison est quand même vraiment géniale et nous avons apprécié notre séjour. Jude a été très serviable et sympathique.

The property is beautiful, with lovely maintained grounds and a diverse surrounding landscape. We saw monkeys, beautiful birds, butterflies, all sorts of bugs. The house is thoughtfully designed; definitely one of the most architecturally interesting homes we’ve stayed in. We were prepared for the open-air nature of the communal spaces and appreciated the cool, enclosed sleeping spaces. It was also nice to be located at the quieter north end of Santa Teresa, with easy access to food, beaches, surfboard rentals. As others have stated, the driveway in particular was challenging to access and is in need of some maintenance (even with 4x4 vehicles and seasoned drivers).

Amazing place. Beautiful location, very peaceful, saw tons of wildlife on/around the property. It is a very steep, mostly paved hill but it is walkable for fit people. Can’t drink the water(different source than the main part of st. Teresa) so you might want to at least have an atv to load up on supplies if you don’t have a vehicle. The place is showing some wear and there were a few small issues but overall it’s an incredible little getaway straight up from the north end of st Teresa beach and the value was great.

Very beautiful place, very natural.. If I recommend guests bring mosquito repellent.. It is a very cozy house perfect for being with dogs..

Lugar muy hermoso, muy natural.. Si les recomiendo a los huéspedes llevar repelente para los mosquitos.. Es una casa muy acogedora perfecta para estar con perros..

Nice place! Definitely need transportation.

We had a great stay at Casa De Jaguar! The place was so peaceful and private, with so much space and living area, including the pool/outside space. The check in instructions were really clear and we had clear and welcoming communication when we needed it throughout our stay. As the listing says, we'd definitely recommend a 4x4 to get to the top of the hill. Overall, it was an amazing experience and place to stay - with so much wildlife and jungle surrounding you, whilst being close to town/shops and beach!

Everything was fine. A beautiful house and the pool is very nice

Todo estuvo bien. Una casa preciosa y la piscina muy agradable

Beautiful spot up on the hill. Surrounded by wildlife. So gorgeous. The open air achieved by opening all the doors lets the world in and was wonderful - with the pool right there - private little oasis Lots of room and rooms - even a great office to work or have meetings even Great time

Amazing location surrounded by nature, easy to get to by 4x4 car. The architecture of the place fits very well with its surroundings and with the hospitality, order and toilet were very attentive. Recommended 100%.

Increíble ubicación rodeada de naturaleza, es fácil de llegar en carro 4x4. La arquitectura del lugar se acopla muy bien con su entorno y con la hospitalidad, orden y aseo fueron muy atentos. Recomendado 100%.

We stayed here for a week and had a wonderful time. The place is amazing, nice rooms and good amenities. You're just outside of the busy part of Santa Teresa which means you have a peaceful place but the center is also just a few minutes away. This place is amazing

More than just a dream…. The view is amazing and we felt very welcomed. The kitchen had all the equipment we needed. Also the location is perfect because the house is a bit up the hill and you have your private space but also you are still very close to the beach or restaurants. The rooms have enough space and aircondition. If you keep the doors of rhe bedrooms closed, there isn‘t a big problem with insects. All in all we had a really good time in hunters house :)

Phenomenal views; excellent villa spread across 2 building - well suited for 2 families. Please note the main building has 1 master bedroom and the 2nd building has 2 smaller bedrooms + another master bedroom (that has ocean views!). This might result in kids sleeping in another building vs their parents - if you have younger kids. We loved every day of our stay and were here for 2 weeks. 4wd is definitely helpful - we did manager to get our Rear wheel drive Toyota Rush up to the house since the private road going up the hill is paved - but we parked it on the hill road and walked 20 seconds into the house versus being able to park a car inside the driveway. The Kolbi fiber internet is about 100 Mbps so well suited for remote work and Zoom calls. We loved how the house got professional cleaning every 3 days!

As the property is located on a hill, you are forced to arrive by 4x4 or rent a quad bike in Santa Teresa. Unfortunately, some rooms of the house are not completely locked, which leads to many insects getting into the house. Other than that the house was perfect!

Da sich die Unterkunft auf einem Hügel befindet, ist man gezwungen mit einem 4x4 anzureisen oder einen Quad in Santa Teresa zu mieten. Leider sind einige Räume des Hauses nicht komplett verschlossen, was dazu führt, dass viele Insekten ins Haus gelangen. Ansonsten war das Haus perfekt!

A spectacular house!! The location is very good, close to restaurants, mini-super and a beautiful beach. The house is totally surrounded by trees which makes it very cool, the access street is partially paved so access is made easy if you come in a 4x4. The layout of the house is spectacular for 3 couples or small families, because each room has space and private access. The common area is very comfortable and integrated into the pool and terrace. Entry to the property is very simple and communication with the host is very smooth. I would definitely go back to this property

Una casa espectacular!! La localización es muy buena, cerca de restaurantes, minisuper y una playa hermosa. La casa está totalmente rodeada de árboles lo que la hace muy fresca, la calle de acceso está parcialmente pavimentada por lo que el acceso se hace sencillo si vienes en un 4x4. La distribución de la casa es espectacular para 3 parejas o familias pequeñas, porque cada cuarto tiene espacio y acceso privado. El área común es muy cómoda e integrada a la piscina y terraza. El ingreso a la propiedad es muy sencillo y la comunicación con el anfitrión es muy fluida. Definitivamente volvería a esta propiedad

Overall, we had a good 8-night stay at Hunter's, we just had to adjust our expectations. What is missing in the description is that this has an open-air kitchen/living room/bathrooms. The wooden slats you see in the pictures do not have glass or screens - they are wide open. Air conditioning is only in the bedrooms and you must make sure you have the bathroom and bedroom doors closed at all times. Why? Bugs. There are a lot of bugs in this place because of the open-air concept. I think the most accurate way to explain this place is higher-end glamping. That's why we had to adjust our expectations. When we thought of it as glamping, it was great. The place ended up growing on us and when you open up all the barn doors during the day it is awesome. Pool was great too. Hunter was a great communicator. We also saw tons of monkeys and the views from the deck are nice. Place is great, just needs a more accurate description.

We were in Costa Rica for 12 days and stayed at Hunters Airbnb for the first 3 days. THIS PLACE IS EPIC! What an amazing way to start our vacation! It’s really hard to describe in words how relaxing this place! Highly recommend checking this place out!

We really enjoyed our stay at Hunter's place, it had such a special feeling to it. The rooms are spacious and beautifully designed, the views and nature around are so relaxing. We found everything we needed and Hunter made sure that we were being cared for. The house is close to restaurantes and shops and still private enough on a hill to enjoy nature sounds. Playa Hermosa, our favorite, is also near by. You do need a 4x4 to enter from the road to the driveway, specially when it rains. Overall, it was an amazing experience to spend a few days in this beautiful house.

Hunters place its amazing, its in top of the mountain with great views and awesome house. Perfect for a group of 8. Has a nice pool and everything you could need. You do need to have a car or ATV to go up & down. They were actually building the road to go up so it will be in better condition soon but now only 4x4 was possibly and also we had an schedule to go up and down which we find out there. Hunter was really responsive on the matter so we appreciate that.

We loved Hunter's home. Absolutely beautiful. Divine architecture The only thing I would give as feedback is to improve kitchen equipment. Several basic items were missing. For those who like to cook. The pool area is very beautiful. It is important to rent a 4x4 to arrive.

Nos encanto la casa de Hunter. Absolutamente preciosa. La arquitectura divina. Lo unico que daria como feedback es mejorar el equipamiento de la cocina. Faltaban varios items basicos. Para los que les gusta cocinar. La zona de piscina es muy bella. Es importante arrendar un 4x4 para llegar.

The place is heavenly! Hunter guided us well for the internal flight from San José - Tambor, the shuttle to the house and the rental of the ATV. Hunter always responded well!

L’endroit est paradisiaque! Hunter nous a bien guidé pour le vol interne de San José - Tambor, la navette jusqu’à la maison et la location du ATV. Hunter nous à toujours bien répondu!

Excellent location, apartment surrounded by nature, great to spend a few relaxing days. A 10/10 with all amenities and service!

Excelente ubicación, apartamento rodeado de naturaleza, genial para pasar unos días de relajación. Un 10/10 con todos los servicios y atención!

The location was perfect and here’s why. It is about a 5 minute drive to the restaurants and the road where all things happen but it is secluded enough up on a hill and in  tropical surroundings that you can hear and see monkeys, cicadas, hummingbirds, parrots, iguanas and other wildlife.  The design of the house is kind of open in the communal spaces and you can feel the breezes and hear the ocean waves at all times. The bedrooms are air conditioned and the entire house has really beautiful wood.  You can see the ocean from the 2nd story bedroom.  The only slightly challenging part was the dip as you ride up a hill into the driveway of the house.  As stated in other reviews you do need a 4WD.  That is all! Beautiful, thank you Hunter! P.S.  There is a cat, Luna that is a resident of the house who is the most charming little kitten (I’m a dog lover) you have ever seen. Extremely friendly, playful and clean.

We (party of 8) had a wonderful stay at Casa De Jaguar. The property is extremely beautiful, with majestic views and the sounds of the jungle right out of our doorstep. Jude was very attentive and friendly, offering us a local take on the best spots of the area. The cleaners did an amazing job as well. The road up to the house can be a little daunting, especially with the unpredictable construction that is taking place. Two of the four bedrooms are incredible, with tons of space and their own bathrooms. The other two bedrooms are very small and lack some basic furniture but are still comfortable. Overall, this spot is a major bargain! The local cat is also the sweetest thing! Make sure to give her lots of pets.

We had a beautiful stay at Hunter's place - the house is set in a unique location up in the hills with views of the ocean and sunset - we even saw the full-moon setting in the morning.  The house was spotless, with cleaning services coming in and doing a wonderful job each time. The property manager was exceptional to work with, and was always responsive and helpful. The house was equipped with all the necessities and had a peaceful ambiance. The house is set up in the hill, but once you are down the hill (4x4 recommended), it is relatively close to the main strip with grocery store and restaurants nearby. Would highly recommend staying here for a lovely, peaceful getaway!

Hunter‘s place is amazing! Everything is exactly as described, pictures are accurate but in reality it is even better. The vibe is spectacular and the view is out of this world. Josie, the property manager greeted us warmly and Rosie came every day to keep everything neat and tidy. We can’t wait to come back!

An absolutely fantastic place to spend a week! Tranquil and gorgeous. Hope to visit again.

The place is beautiful, quiet, super spacious. If a 4x4 car is needed to enter. For people who love nature, this place is perfect. The host is very kind, responds quickly and there is also a person in charge of the place who lives near the property, and she is also attentive and kind. We would definitely come back.

El lugar es hermoso, tranquilo, súper espacioso. Si se necesita un carro 4x4 para ingresar. Para las personas que aman la naturaleza este lugar es perfecto. El anfitrión es muy amable, responde rápido y además hay una persona encargada del lugar que vive cerca de la propiedad, y ella también es atenta y amable. Sin duda volveríamos.

Excellent place! Better than photos. Very well located between downtown Santa Teresa and Playa Hermosa. Everything was impeccable.

Excelente lugar! mejor que las fotos. Muy bien ubicado entre el centro de Santa Teresa y Playa Hermosa. Todo impecable.

Excellent house, the place is beautiful, it has all the facilities, close to the beach, close to many places to eat and go out, if you need  4x4 to get to the house, because there is a high hill. The owner is very kind and his administrator was special to us. Super recommendation!

Excelente casa, el lugar es hermoso, tiene todas las facilidades, cerca de la playa, cerca de muchos sitios para comer y para salir, si se necesita  4x4 para llegar a la casa, porque hay una cuesta alta. El dueño es muy amable y su administradora fue especial con nosotros. Súper recomendación!

AMAZING stay! PERFECT LOCATION. Wow this place is more than worth it. We will be back.

This place is absolutely stunning! The views and the setting are incredible. We we felt like we were staying in a luxury resort. 100% recommend this place and would return without hesitation. Hosts are also very friendly and helpful. Highly recommended!!
