This place is pure Costa Rican magic! Many people come to CR and never get to experience any thing like this. The monkeys put on the most amazing show. This is our second visit. We can't imagine staying anywhere else.

Mitch's place was awesome. Easy walk to the point and beautiful nature on your back porch. It felt like you were totally secluded and we had tons of awesome monkeys jumping around in the trees and even saw a toucan in the backyard. Communication was super easy and always available. The 2nd bathroom is outside FYI, but was still nice. Would recommend it and definitely stay here again.

The casa has a lot of character with all the teakwood and jungle landscaping. Felt very private. For surfers there’s a path crossing another vacant lot that takes you to the paddle out spot - about a 5 minute walk. About a 15 minute walk to town restaurants, etc…

Great location! It was a 10 minute walk from the house to the point to surf. You do have to duck under the barbed wire fence but that was no problem for us. The care taker was friendly and helpful. He left us some fruit, which was much appreciated. We loved getting to watch the monkeys from the balcony. The A/C worked great! The house was comfortable and the kitchen well stocked. I really appreciated that there was a crock pot and a coffee grinder. My only complaint was that the washing machine was broken when we were there but I understand these things happen. I would definitely stay here again.

Magical stay; the house is very cozy, has an amazing look, and is very well located, just a few steps from the beach. The structure of the house is very good, and the support from the host, Keiner, was the best possible! One of the bathrooms is located outside the house, which was not made clear in the listing. We experienced a few periods of no water due to the severe drought at the time, but they were all short-lived and quickly resolved by the hosts and the caretaker. I recommend and we will definitely return!!

A magical stay in the tree tops a short walk from the beach! The house is built like a ship, just like the photos. The gardens are beautiful. The monkeys are adorable. And the caretaker and hosts made sure that we had everything we needed for a wonderful stay, including sharing links to restaurants, fishermen, and beach locations. We cooked most meals finding everything that we needed in the well layed out kitchen. Also loved the two showers--the outdoor one is refreshing after beach walks to get the sand off (I'm not a cold shower person, but in this climate it feels wonderful) and a good hot one indoors for shampooing. The outdoor shower also has an attached toilet and cold water sink. The indoor shower is separate from the bathroom which is handy. We don't surf, and wondered what we would do while here, but after a lot of adventures earlier in our trip, reading on the deck in the tree tops, cooking fresh fish, and walking on these beautiful, peaceful beaches was perfect.

My family had a wonderful time staying here. We were there for surfing which was in walking distance. The animal diversity was also great with excellent birding right off the balcony. The place was roomy, beautiful, and comfortable. Keiner (onsite caretaker) was fantastic and we really enjoyed our time with him. He was super helpful and available if we had any issues. The gardens were beautiful and we felt very lucky to be in such a cool spot. We really enjoyed our stay and Pavones. Would definitely come back!!

We had a wonderful stay in Mitch’s house. Localization is great, walking distance to the beach or center of the town. Pavones beach break is basically just by the fence. House was extremely cozy, very pretty and practical. Surrounded by nature, tranquility and peace. That was absolutely fantastic stay and hope we’ll be back there soon! Highly recommended to everyone!
