OK, so I’m torn writing this review. I wanna gate keep this place for myself and family, but I would never do that to Natacha because the place is perfect! This is my family’s fourth time staying there and we absolutely love it just as much as the first time. If you don’t like staying near the beach, if you don’t like being woken up by the monkeys and watching them jump from tree to tree, if you don’t like watching the beautiful birds and other animals roam through the backyard near the pool don’t stay here. 😁

Magical, memorable, and delightful! Our stay at Casa del Mango was everything we hoped it would be. The house and grounds are kept immaculately. It was like staying in our own private resort. Natacha is responsive and helpful. The day we arrived she helped connect us with a friend who cooked a super delicious and very reasonably priced dinner for us. And her suggestions for guides were spot on. We enjoyed many adventures in Costa Rica and were happy to have this casa/retreat/resort as a base. For reference, we are a family of 5 with 3 elementary aged kids. Highly recommend! Thank you!

My family (children ages 10, 12, 14 years) had a wonderful time at Casa Mango. We loved the quiet location and swam everyday in the pool. We enjoyed seeing wildlife everyday from the house and walking to the national park. Natacha and Martin helped connect us with local tour guides and we even had the opportunity to watch a baby turtle release. Wonderful stay with incredible hosts!

Great place, would stay again.

My stay in Cahuita was truly unforgettable, and I cannot thank Natasha and her husband enough for making my 40th birthday so special. From the moment I arrived, I was welcomed with incredible warmth and generosity. The house was beautiful, comfortable, and thoughtfully prepared with everything I could possibly need. They went above and beyond by providing delicious snacks, fresh fruits and vegetables, and so many thoughtful touches that made me feel completely at home. Their hospitality was exceptional and made this milestone birthday celebration even more meaningful. It felt less like staying in a rental and more like being welcomed by friends. Every detail was carefully considered, creating a relaxing, memorable, and joyful experience. If you're looking for a place to stay in Cahuita, I cannot recommend Natasha and her husband highly enough. Thank you both for your kindness, generosity, and for helping create such wonderful memories. I already can't wait to come back!

This was our first family vacation in over 10 years and was the best trip ever! Natacha made us feel right at home immediately and was so attentive to our needs. She arranged our airport transportation through Marco Tours which was great and was waiting when we arrived! Everyone fell in love with the home immediately. It was a true slice of paradise. It rained our first couple of days but that did not slow us down. It was warm and easy to walk to town and get things we needed from the grocery store. The local restaurants were wonderful and all of Natasha's recommendations were top notch! We saw monkeys and sloths everyday at the casa. We felt safe everywhere we went. We miss it already and hope to go back again someday. It was a lovely town with lovely people and I highly recommend!!

The house is fantastic; here, you're not only right on the beach, but also surrounded by nature. There are so many animals to discover here; it's incredible. We even had monkeys right in the middle of the garden. You won't miss anything. Natasha is a very friendly and attentive person. She is always concerned about your well-being and was a great help to us last time. We will definitely be back!

Had a wonderful stay at Villa Mango. The house was nicely decorated, beautiful art, homey, and fully equipped. Lovely swimming pool, beautiful garden with lots of birds, monkeys, and agoutis nearby.

The house was a vacation on it's own. The pool and landscaping are the perfect setting for cooling off after a day of exploration. There is so much to do in Cahuita but staying "home" is an adventure as well. Birds, monkeys, sloths, iguanas can be spotted lounging from pool or rooftop deck. I can not recommend this place enough. The hosts are the most hospitable, friendly and accommodating and really care that their guest have an enjoyable stay.

La casa del mango is the perfect vacation rental right out of a fantasy. The house and grounds are so lovely, you can just relax and swim in the pool all day.... but then there's the surrounding area! Truly this area of Costa Rica is paradise. We absolutely loved playa Negra just a 2 minutes walk away. Bigger waves than the white sand beaches further north, but so much fun to jump in and boogie board. (If you're a surfer, this is the beach for it). The food in the area was amazing. The hosts provide excellent recommendations for food, activities and are always a text message away for any questions. We loved going daily to the "playa café & gelato" just a few minutes away for amazing ice cream, deserts, paninis, coffee. La Peruanita restaurant was our favourite place for ceviche, 10/10! Our favourite all around restaurant was "Rincon del amor" and "soda kawe" for typical Costa Rican breakfasts and fresh juices at a bargain. Cahuita national park is amazing, so much wildlife!!
