Walk to Beach: Funky Jungle Villa + Modern Comfort - Houses for Rent in Pavones, Puntarenas Province, Costa Rica

Beautiful house and grounds in an optimal location.

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.

Thank you so much, Sam! It was very cool having you back. We’re thrilled you enjoyed the monkeys again! One of the things that makes this place so special is that the Central American squirrel monkeys you saw are actually an endangered species. Every visit from them is a reminder of how fortunate we are to share this remarkable ecosystem with our guests. We’ll be sure to pass your kind words along to Keiner. We’d welcome you back anytime and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend you to any other host. Safe travels, and we hope to see you again soon. Pura Vida!

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.

Thank you Joshua for the kind words.  Yes, we need to make it more clear on AirBnB that that the 2nd bathroom is outside of the main house.  Thats by design so returning from surfing and cleaning up are easier for everyone. Cheers!

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.

Fantastic house, fully equipped, cozy and in the perfect location, just a few steps from the beach! Keiner is also very helpful. He helps with everything immediately. His responsiveness and politeness are incredible.

Casa fantástica, totalmente equipada, aconchegante e a localização perfeita, apenas alguns passos da praia! O Keiner também é muito prestativo, auxilia em tudo de imediato, incrível a agilidade e educação dele.

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!!

Estadia mágica, a casa é muito aconchegante, tem um visual incrível e é muito bem localizada, a poucos passos da praia. A estrutura da casa é muito boa e o suporte do caseiro Keiner foi o melhor possível! Um dos banheiros fica do lado de fora da casa, o que não estava claro no anúncio. Tivemos alguns momentos de falta de água, devido à seca intensa na época, mas todos curtos e rapidamente resolvidos pelos anfitriões e caseiro. Recomendo e com certeza voltaremos!!

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!

If you’re looking for a standard vacation rental, turn back now. But if you’re the kind of traveler who feels the pulse of the Earth beneath your feet, who hears the whispers of the jungle at dawn, and who craves wild freedom — this villa is your portal. Tucked in the green heart of Pavones, this place doesn’t just sit in the jungle — it breathes with it. The wood-paneled walls felt alive, like they had stories from a thousand storms. The air was thick with life — not humidity, but vibration. Frogs chirped at night like a jungle symphony, and the howler monkeys? They’re your cosmic alarm clock — primal, unapologetic, perfect. The architecture is funky and free — open spaces, natural textures, tropical colors, and no attempt to fight the jungle… it flows with it. Big windows for starlight and moonbeams, outdoor showers that remind you you’re a creature of the wild, and a kitchen that invites you to cook barefoot. The road to get here is worth every bump!

Great stay in Pavones... beautiful garden and incredible little monkeys

Great stay in Pavones.. jardin magnifique et petits singes incroyables

We had a great time staying at Mitch's place! The house is a beautiful wooden structure surrounded by a lovely garden. It's located in a quiet area, just a short distance from the surf spots. The caretaker, Keiner, was incredibly friendly and provided us with helpful local recommendations (restaurants, surf spots, and more). I highly recommend staying here if you're visiting Pavones!

Mitch’s home in pavones is a great location and comfortable space. Would recommend for anyone visiting to get some surf!

This is a great house. The caretaker Keiner is very kind and hard working. 1 bathroom is outside, toilet had to be fixed. No hot water in outdoor shower Outdoor sink in bathroom does not have running water. No ac in upstairs “4th bedroom” No clothes dryer. Water turns runs out and need to ask caretaker to reset twice a day. One day it took two hours to solve no water issue because caretaker was away. Freezer was at 5C. Freezer repair for over two hours during dinner prep. Mitch was understanding and grateful for my clear feedback and refunded us one day. Hopefully he’s able to either fix the issues or change the description to accurately describe the amenities.

Thank you for your detailed feedback and for staying at our home. We’re happy to hear that you enjoyed the house and appreciated Keiner’s kindness and hard work. He truly goes above and beyond to ensure our guests have a comfortable stay. We sincerely apologize for the inconveniences you experienced. While we strive to provide an accurate listing and a smooth experience, we recognize that some maintenance issues arose during your stay. The water running out and the freezer issue were very unusual occurrences that had never happened to a guest before. As soon as we became aware of the freezer issue, we immediately contacted a repairman, brought ice to the freezer, and stored your food in our caretaker’s casita to ensure it stayed cold. Regarding the water outage, we understand how frustrating it was, and we appreciate your patience. After investigating the issue, we discovered that one of the guests had unintentionally dislodged some pipes while interacting with the water supply tank, which caused the water to drain out. This was an unexpected situation, and while our caretaker responded as quickly as possible, we regret the inconvenience it caused. As for air conditioning, in the past, the four air conditioners in the house have been sufficient to keep the upstairs loft cool at night. However, due to an unusual heat wave, we added two additional floor fans to the loft for extra cooling. We understand that it was still warmer than the bedrooms and living area, which can be cooled down to 65 degrees, and we appreciate your feedback on this. Most homes in the beach area use clotheslines for drying, which is why we provide a dedicated drying line with 50 linear feet of space. However, when the weather does not cooperate, we also have a large dryer available at the caretaker’s casita, just 50 meters away, which our guests are welcome to use. To provide more clarity for future guests, we are updating our listing to better reflect the amenities and drying options. Your feedback is invaluable in helping us enhance the experience for future guests. We appreciate your understanding and are grateful for the opportunity to host you. Best wishes, Mitch

The large wooden house and huge garden are beautiful and full of charming details. Kei, the housekeeper, was very gracious and gave us great tips on waves and restaurants. The property is a little more secluded than we expected, but the three days we were allowed to spend there were the most magical in all of Costa Rica. Every morning we were surprised by other animals at breakfast: skull monkeys, toucans, haubenguans... and thanks to the available provisioning boards we were even able to find out the right names. Thank you so much for letting us get to know this unique place!

Das große Holzhaus und der riesige Garten sind wunderschön und voller charmanter Details. Kei, der Hausbesorger, war sehr liebenswürdig und hat uns großartige Tips zu Wellen und Restaurants gegeben. Das Grundstück ist etwas abgelegener als wir es erwartet hatten, aber die drei Tage, die wir dort verbringen durften, waren die Zauberhaftesten in ganz Costa Rica. Jeden Morgen wurden wir beim Frühstück von anderen Tieren überrascht: Totenkopfäffchen, Tukane, Haubenguane… und dank der ausliegenden Bestimmungstafeln konnten wir sogar die richtigen Namen rausfinden. Vielen Dank, daß wir diesen einmaligen Ort kennenlernen durften!

The house is more beautiful than in the photos, the Internet is fast the air conditioners are great and necessary, as the place is muffled, very nice house, in the middle of nature, a few steps away from an excellent surfing peak. Kei, the collaborator, was perfect, very kind and helpful, gave excellent tips and always responded when asked, excellent boy! Unfortunately Pavones is not the paradise we expected, the beaches are wonderful, the surf is perfect, but there is already a kind of bandit, we were robbed on the beach, took our backpack with all our documents, credit card and cash, we ran out, we recovered almost everything with the help of locals, because the bandits are known, the police just asked me questions and said it would be difficult to recover something, although I went out to take me home. This is terrible for tourism, a shame for the local people, they are young people, of family, who shame this little paradise.

A casa é mais bonita do que nas fotos, a Internet é rápida os condicionadores de ar são ótimos e necessários, pois o local é abafado, casa muito agradável, no meio da natureza, a poucos passos de um excelente pico de surf. Kei, o colaborador, foi perfeito, muito amável e prestativo, deu excelentes dicas e sempre respondia quando solicitado, rapaz excelente! Infelizmente Pavones não é o paraíso que esperávamos, as praias são maravilhosas, o surf é perfeito, mas já existe um tipo de bandidagem, fomos roubados na praia, levaram nossa mochila com todos os nossos documentos, cartão de crédito e dinheiro, saímos correndo, recuperamos quase tudo com ajuda de locais, pois os bandidos são conhecidos, a polícia só me fez perguntas e disse que seria difícil recuperar algo, embora tenha saído comigo para me levar em casa. Isso é péssimo para o turismo, uma vergonha para o povo local, são jovens, de família, que envergonham esse pequeno paraíso.

Both Mitch and Keiner, the caretaker, are wonderful people- communicative, helpful, and kind. The grounds are gorgeous and squirrel monkeys often pass through. The house is very comfortable and a couple minute walk to a beautiful, quiet beach. We loved it there!

ホストのレスポンスが都度早かったです。

We loved staying at Mitch’s place and it was so so hard to leave. Perfect location, super comfortable, amazing atmosphere all around it. Can’t wait to be back!

We had a wonderful week at Casa Cherepo,  a very relaxing much-needed vacation. Sad to leave and already trying to figure out when we can come again.

This is a super comfortable, thoughtfully-crafted, new home on a spacious property, and it's just a short 5-10 min walk to the center of Pavones where the main wave was breaking when we visited in April 2024. The property manager was above-and-beyond in his kindness, helpfulness, and openness! We were most grateful to learn about pura vida life from our various conversations with him!

We had the most incredible stay at this Airbnb property, and it’s all thanks to the exceptional hospitality provided by the owner Mitch and manager, Keiner. From the moment we arrived, Keiner went above and beyond to ensure our experience was nothing short of perfect. The property itself was stunning, with every detail carefully thought out to create a comfortable and inviting atmosphere. The location was fantastic, offering both convenience and tranquility. What truly set this stay apart was Keiner’s warmth and attentiveness. He greeted us with a genuine smile and made us feel instantly at home. Throughout our stay, Keiner was always available to answer any questions and offer recommendations, making sure we had everything we needed for a memorable vacation. We can’t thank Mitch and Keiner enough for his exceptional service and for making our stay so special. We highly recommend this Airbnb property to anyone looking for a truly unforgettable experience. We can’t wait to return!

Thank you Vlora…your group was awesome and both Keiner and I are happy you enjoyed your stay.  You’re always welcome back if you ever venture back to the “Wave” and Casa Cherepo!

Beautiful house in a great location with an easy walk to the beach and to the wave! We loved our stay in Pavones. Thanks for the hospitality!!

A comfortable house on a beautiful quiet private location with lots to offer.  Great beds, clean bathroom and kitchen, good wifi signal.  The ac was necessary at times and worked well-there are also plenty of fans in the house.  Sitting on deck in the rocking chairs watching the toucans and listening to the waves was our favorite thing to do.  There is a big outside shower which was perfect after a day in the water.  In addition to the house, there is covered patio on one side of the property with hammocks-perfect for chilling out.  The house comes with bikes which were in good condition.   The yard has many different types of plants that attract lots of birds and butterflies.  Bring binoculars!  Keiner lives in the front of the property and he was very very helpful-from finding us coconuts, to giving dining recommendations,  to advice on where to catch waves.  Both Mitch and Keiner were very responsive and the whole experience was really nice!  Definitely coming back!

Thank you Ann for the kind words.  You were an awesome guest and we hope you have a chance to visit again...soon!

This dwelling is truly a hidden treasure that has exceeded all our expectations. Our journey by car to get here has become a real pleasure, and everything was worth it in finding this unique place. During the two weeks we spent here, we have experienced the privacy, comfort, and wild beauty we had imagined. What really makes this home exceptional is its location in front of the surf break Pavones. For surfing lovers, this is an unparalleled paradise. Every day has been a water adventure. But what has made our stay even more special here is the hospitality of Key, the house manager. Key is undoubtedly an exceptional host. His “Pura Vida” attitude is reflected in everything he does. He's always willing to help with a smile on his face and a positive attitude. She has provided us with valuable local tips and made our stay even more memorable.

Esta vivienda es realmente un tesoro escondido que ha superado todas nuestras expectativas. Nuestra travesía en coche para llegar hasta aquí se ha convertido en un verdadero placer, y todo ha valido la pena al encontrar este lugar único. Durante las dos semanas que hemos pasado aquí, hemos experimentado la privacidad, la comodidad y la belleza salvaje que habíamos imaginado. Lo que realmente hace que esta vivienda sea excepcional es su ubicación frente al surf break Pavones. Para los amantes del surf, este es un paraíso inigualable. Cada día ha sido una aventura en el agua. Pero lo que ha hecho aún más especial nuestra estadía aquí es la hospitalidad de Key, el encargado de la casa. Key es, sin lugar a dudas, un anfitrión excepcional. Su actitud "Pura Vida" se refleja en todo lo que hace. Está siempre dispuesto a ayudar con una sonrisa en el rostro y una actitud positiva. Nos ha proporcionado valiosos consejos locales y ha hecho que nuestra estancia sea aún más memorable.

Beautiful gem surrounded by wildlife and beautiful beaches! A big thanks to Mitch who was very accommodating and changed dates for us! Perfect place to find paradise!

We were very fortunate you made the journy across the globe to visit.  I sincerely hope your travels bring you back this way again.

This place is unique, from the teak hardwood throughout the the multi level spaces. Comfy beds. Upstairs tough to sleep since there’s no a/c , but nice to hang out early before got to hot. A/c downstairs worked well. We were in area for the surf, the house was just a short walk from the top of the point. Keiner the caretaker was great, super helpful and informative. Came out in a torrential downpour to check on us when the power went out. Mitch was very responsive and helpful when we needed to change dates.  Fantastic overall!!

We were in three families of surfers with children at Casa Cherepo in Pavones. The house is beautiful! A separate attraction on pavones. There was air conditioning in the 3 bedrooms and living room. The only nuisance is having only 1 indoor bathroom. The other is on the street. Keiner, the housekeeper, is an amazing person! Extremely helpful and proactive. He promptly responded to all requests and recommended everything we asked for. We took a boat trip to Cabo Matapalo that was very worth the experience! What a surreal place! Super indico. Keiner has all the necessary directions. We also asked for a recommendation to buy fish and he indicated the place to buy fresh. Despite the constant power outages, a routine in the region, our experience was amazing! We will certainly recommend it to all friends and if we have the opportunity we will definitely return!

Estivemos em três famílias de surfistas com crianças na Casa Cherepo em Pavones. A casa é linda! Uma atração à parte em pavones. Ar condicionado nos 3 quartos e na sala foi diferencial. Único incômodo é ter apenas 1 banheiro interno. O outro é na rua. Keiner, o caseiro, é uma pessoa incrível! Extremamente prestativo e proativo. Nos atendeu prontamente em todos os pedidos além de recomendar tudo que pedíamos. Fizemos um passeio de barco até Cabo Matapalo que valeu muito a experiência! Que lugar surreal! Super indico. Keiner tem todas as indicações necessárias. Pedimos tb recomendação para comprar pescados e ele nos indicou O local para comprar fresquinho. Apesar das constantes faltas de luz, rotina na região, nossa experiência foi incrível! Certamente vamos recomendar a todos amigos e se tivermos oportunidade, retornaremos com certeza!

Loved this house! You could hear the waves from the house along with all the beautiful sounds of the jungle. On the last day, monkeys were jumping in the trees surrounding the house. It was amazing! We really enjoyed the exterior of the house. It’s on a beautiful and huge well kept property. It felt like we were staying in a real life treehouse. Keiner was very helpful and available for us 24/7. Great stay!

Had a wonderful time staying at Mitch’s place. Walking distance to pavones, good wifi, and beautiful property. Additionally, the on-site caretaker was extremely helpful   in setting up activities, recomendaciones, and anything else we needed. Highly recommend

The house is impeccable , the house is even nicer than what you see in the photos Keiner the host was always attentive and responds quickly 100%. I recommend

La casa impecable , la casa es aún más linda de lo que se ve en las fotos Keiner el host siempre atento y responde rápido 100 % recomiendo

Fantastic location, lots of room. Private but close to everything. The yard is beautiful. Very neat house!

The house is very good but it lacks a minimum bathroom inside because the second bathroom is outside the house. The Cozina bench has only 4 benches and is the only table to sit and eat together. The rest is fine. Amazing place and high waves

La casa es muy buena pero le falta un baño mas mínimo adentro pq el segundo baño es afuera de la casa. La bancada de la Cozina tiene solo 4 bancos y es la única mesa para sentarse a comer juntos. El resto todo bien. Lugar increíble y altas olas

Mitch’s place is great. The best part is the care taker, Andres! Hes so kind and will help you with anything you need.

Great place and location. Clean, well equipped and great welcome.

Honestly- we had an amazing time at Mitch's house. Living closer would come back as soon as I can. It was taken care of by Andres and his family who were tremendously kind. They live in a cottage at the entrance of the land and assist you in whatever you need. The location is perfect next to the point- although from there you can't go straight down to the beach because a neighbor close by with wire- anyway I think this is trying to solve it. There are also very few blocks or by car, it's 2 minutes. From the house you can hear the waves, you can see toucans, monkeys, squirrels. A perfectly maintained jungle garden. The deck was our favorite part. We went as a family with boys and everything was very very comfortable. Perfectly equipped kitchen, sheets, towels like my house and very comfortable rooms. A luxury - Thank you!!

Honestamente- lo pasamos increíble en la casa de Mitch. De vivir más cerca volvería tan pronto pueda. A la misma la cuidan Andres y su familia que fueron tremendamente amables. Ellos viven en una casita en la entrada del terreno y te asisten en lo que necesites. La ubicación es perfecta al lado del point- aunque desde ahí no se puede bajar directo a la playa porque un vecino cercó con alambre de pua- de todas formas creo que esto están intentando resolverlo. Igualmente se caminan muy pocas cuadras o en auto son 2 min. Desde la casa se escuchan las olas, se ven tucanes, monos, ardillas. Un jardín selvático y perfectamente cuidado. La terraza fue nuestra parte favorita. Fuimos en familia con nenes chicos y todo fue muy muy cómodo. Cocina perfectamente equipada, sábanas toallas como las de mi casa y cuartos muy cómodos. Un lujo - Gracias!!

amazing place ... best spot to go surf in pavones for sure

My husband and I stayed in this beautiful home in Pavones for two weeks!   Everything was exactly as described, beautiful, clean and well equipped.   The wild life was amazing!   We did not have a car and walked or road the cruiser bikes everywhere.   My husband walked to surf every morning it was a fantastic location!   The caretakers, Andres and his wife were so friendly and helpful with anything we needed.  She made us homemade tortillas and empanadas!  Yum!!!  We will definitely be back, thanks for sharing this beautiful space, we love our stay in Mitch’s home!!!

We had a great stay and were very comfortable in this beautiful home. Kitchen was very well equipped and house is beautifully done. Care takers were extremely nice and helpful.

This place was great! It was a short walk to the point, very clean, and the owner was very helpful to accommodate us on short notice. I loved the big beautiful yard. There were spider monkeys that you could watch from the front porch in the morning while you have coffee. It was perfect

Wonderful house on a gorgeous jungle estate with all the beauty Costa Rican nature can offer. This rental makes you feel like your a resident not a tourist. It has everything you need and is spotless clean. And the bikes were super handy to zip to the store but otherwise easy walk out to the beach.

This is the perfect place to stay in Pavones! Clean, attractive, very comfortable, and with all modern conveniences. It’s proximity to the surf break and town is ideal.

100% accurate..👍🏼 The house was clean and as description. The local caretaker and his wife were so helpful with (a late arrival) and setting up an excursion day . So peaceful and an easy stroll to beach in the morning with coffee in one hand and surfboard in other . Would absolutely recommend and return !! Steve

Place is epic! 5 min walk to pavones point to surf. Great place for a family to stay or work remote situation. WiFi is fast and the place has all the amenities you could need. The property manager was great and answered all the questions we had right away, great experience!

Mitch’s place is a paradise . It is very unique . It has a jungle vibe but you also can hear the waves.Andres is very helpful , we have a good communication with him every day . Would  definitely recommend this place and we will be becoming back

Had a fantastic stay. House is beautiful. Jungle vibe but you can hear the waves crashing. WiFi was excellent (could tolerate 4+ people one simultaneous zoom calls). On-site caretaker was wonderful and helped set up surfboard rentals which were delivered to the house. Super great value for what it is. Only downside I can think of is there’s no direct beach access. And it would be a slightly long walk to the break. Needed a rental car for our purposes. Highly recommend and will be back.

Beautifull house, great location, quiet special garden with many birds and flowers.

Mitch's place is great. Short walk to the point for surf checks.  Well stocked with nice amenities: shower, board storage, hammocks, cooking supplies, etc.  Nice kitchen area and good bedrooms. Very clean and well taken care of house with a nice front porch for chilling.  Andres, the caretaker is a great guy: Always available, super helpful and prompt.  This is a great house for groups or families, especially if you want to be close to the point.

Very nice house! Highly recomended in Pavones

Private, quiet, surrounded by jungle and walking distance to the main point at Pavones and restaurants as well.  Travelled with a small group of friends and had everything we needed at the house to make it the perfect stay.  I've been to Pavones many times and would definitely stay here on my next trip and recommend to others.  Andres the caretaker lives on the property and is super helpful and responsive.

Magical spot! The house is absolutely beautiful, very clean, and full of character. We stayed here for a total of 8 days and kept extending our time because we liked it so much. The house is a short walk to surf, restaurants, grocery stores, ATV rentals and more.  The host Mitch was very helpful in coordinating, answering question, and helping us extend our stay. Andres the incredible caretaker coordinated our arrival by boat from Puerto Jimenez, horseback riding, taxis, and more. Andres lives on the grounds and was very helpful and friendly. Would definitely recommend this place and we will be coming back!

This bungalow is absolutely STUNNING. It has a great location. If you’re a surfer, this place is a 5 minute drive from the main Pavones peak. The house is huge, beautiful and very comfortable. Fully equipped too. Will definitely visit again if in the area. Worth every penny.

Great place as advertised. Everything we needed for a week of surfing with 4 people.

Absolutely awesome “treehouse” close to the beach. It is exactly as described and more, would recommend this spot for anyone traveling to Pavones. Andres the caretaker was very kind and helpful. His wife left us beautiful flowers upon arrival, and he was there to help if we needed anything. If you’re looking to surf, get away, or hideout in a thunderstorm- this is the place to do it.

Casa Cherepo was awesome!  The beds were comfortable and I had a great night sleeping there.  I spent 5 nights at Mitch's place with a few buddies for my 50th and everything was great! I loved having coffee on the back balcony and watching monkeys climb through the trees.  We brought hammocks to chill after our long surf sessions and it was so cool just to hear all the sounds of the jungle around you.  Andres the caretaker is awesome too!  He'll direct you to whatever you're looking for in Pavones.  The place is gated and secure.  We never felt we needed to lock anything up or bring our boards in at night.  Pura Vida!

It's awesome that you got to surf through your 50th in Pavones...livin the dream.   Please don't wait around for another decade milestone.  You and your  friends are welcome back anytime.   The waves and the wildlife will be there for your return.  Cheers y Pura Vida!

Great place to stay in Pavones. House is very comfortable with great views from the deck. Andres (the caretaker) was helpful when needed and unobtrusive when not needed. Great kitchen and very comfortable beds. Had the feeling of staying in a giant treehouse! Possibly the only detraction is that you are close to the beach but to get to the beach it's required to go up to the road and around several other properties. Mitch mentioned this in his posting as well. But that really is it. Everything else exceeded expectations.

Glad you enjoyed the place. Yes, it is a tease seeing the wave from the front porch. We've got our fingers crossed that the road that is already surveyed in front of the house will be completed by the municipality soon. After that, it's a direct walk off the front porch to the wave. Cheers!

This house is beyond amazing. The bedrooms are spacious, comfortable, and each have their own AC. The kitchen is well appointed and we cooked and made our own coffee everyday. We sat out the gorgeous deck in the rocking chairs every morning to drink our coffee, listen to the birds and read our books. The house is raised off the ground which gives is a really cool hangout spot underneath with hammocks, and an outdoor table. The height of the house also raises you higher into the tree line creating unique views form the 2 decks, it's really lovely. The internet and tv worked great. The reliable TV and AC were key for me as I came with my son that surfs and I was able to hang at the house and chill while he surfed on some days, other days I went and sat in and by the Rio Claro. Another thing to note that seems like an insignificant detail but is very significant at night is that the entrance to the property is well lit and well marked, in fact I don't remember seeing any other property as well marked as this one. After a long day at the beach, dinner and a couple beers it's really nice to easily find your homestead. This trip was just my son and I but this house would easily and comfortably accommodate a family trip or multiple couples/friends. If you're thinking of renting this place just do it. I only hope it's available when I come back to Pavones.

We are really glad that you were able to experience the house and the area the way it was meant to be.  Relax, no schedule, surf when you want and ponder the mysteries of the universe.  I hope you and the rest of your family have a chance to return.  We'd love to see you again and have a chance to catch up.

this place is a slice of paradise. absolutely beautiful location and house. plenty of kitchen supplies, hang out areas and amenities. Felt homie while being around monkeys and other animals. we even saw a sloth! Andres the property caretaker was attentive and helpful with anything we needed. Can't wait to come back again!

Thank you Mitch for sharing you beautiful home to Vacationers . Andreas you made our stay so comfortable like family and thank you again for your wonderful hospitality and great communication and friendliness.. I loved sharing my Challah bread recipe with you and Ariels and making-it together ... Muchas Gracias for the delicious Tortillas!!!! And for the YlangYlang ...We hope to be back soon!!! It was so beautiful to see the Mono Tikis and Macaws!!!

This place is one of a kind gem at Pavones. Lots of charm to the house and very unique! Has a great cozy feel and is spacious. I would highly recommend!

Very happy to hear you had a good time and appreciated the place.  I know you've got an awesome house near Uvita on AirBnB,  I hope we can pay a visit to your place next time.

Mitch’s place is AMAZING! Tranquil, beautiful, surrounded by ocean and wildlife but with all the modern amenities, comforts and little touches to make it really feel like home. Sitting on the porch in the big rocking chairs watching monkeys and looking out at the ocean was one of our favorite things to do. The outdoor stone bathroom/ shower was perfect for rinsing off after surfing.  Mitch was so helpful and responsive. Andrés, who takes care of the property, was so incredibly accommodating and available to help at all times. He went fishing and gave us free delicious fresh snapper that we cooked up for dinner and lunch. He also provided  2 bicycles for us to explore around Pavones with. The house literally has everything you could want, with brand new modern appliances throughout. The internet was great, and the house has multiple internet services so that if one goes out for any reason the other is still there. Staying there was truly one of the highlights of our trip.

Our family and I are very happy with our stay at Casa Cherepo, the house looks impeccable, it has everything you need for an unbeatable stay, Andres, who is the manager, is a very helpful and attentive person who undoubtedly has earned our gratitude, Mitch who owns the house is an excellent person, he was always attentive to our needs, doubts or queries. Our stay was so amazing that we decided to stay one more day than planned and we hope to return soon, all in all our stay was amazing.

Nuestra familia y yo estamos muy feliz con nuestra estadía en casa Cherepo, la casa luce impecable, cuenta con todo lo necesario para una estadía inmejorable, Andres quien es el encargado es una persona muy servicial y atenta que sin duda alguna se ganó nuestro agradecimiento, Mitch quien es el dueño de la casa es una excelente persona siempre estuvo atento a nuestras necesidades dudas o consultas.

Siempre están bienvenidos a volver.  We are very pleased you enjoyed your stay at Casa Cherepo. And we are appreciative of how clean the house was after you left. I am hopeful that more future guests can be as considerate as you. You are always welcome to come visit again.

We had a fantastic time at this rental in Pavones, Costa Rica. It is beautiful and definitely an escape from anybody’s reality. We had so many favorite moments but the best to me was relaxing each day hearing and seeing the ocean from the deck. We also found great pleasure in participating in the nearby activities of yoga and surfing. The restaurants that that came recommended were  very close and fantastic. We found the beds to be new and very comfortable. We can’t wait to return to this little piece of paradise!!

We are so glad you were able to immerse yourself in the peaceful and energizing experience of Casa Cherepo.  Our doors are always welcome to your return.
