Walk to Beach 3BR Oceanfront | Shared Pool - Houses for Rent in Cabo Matapalo, Pu, Costa Rica

This place is absolutely amazing. It was so relaxing to fall asleep to the waves crashing every night. From the living area we saw macaws, coatis, and wild pigs. We also saw anteaters, capuchins, and spider monkeys driving to and from the house. There is a super friendly neighborhood dog that visited us everyday, hung out with us on the beach, and even accompanied us on a waterfall hike. Joel, the local property manager, was very friendly and helped us book a last minute trip to Corcovado during a busy spring break week. The only negative I can think of is that since the house is open-air and on the ocean, most of the fixtures in the house were corroded from salt water. It wasn't really an issue for us but we couldn't lock the bathroom doors due to the corroded locks.  We just communicated when someone was going to the bathroom lol. It can be a little warm during the hottest part of the day but felt great at night sleeping.  Would definitely recommend staying here. 4x4 necessary.

Hi Tony, we're delighted to hear that our home was a great fit for your party and that the location served you well! It’s wonderful to know that you enjoyed the natural wildlife and the company of the friendly neighborhood dog during your stay. We're also glad to hear that Joel provided you with friendly assistance during your trip. We have shared your feedback regarding the fixtures with our team, and we’re glad that it didn't detract from your overall experience. Thank you for choosing to stay with us, and we look forward to hosting you again in the future!

Wow a slice of paradise.
Like staying in a coconut/rum/monkey dream.
Joel is super nice and helpful.

Wow a slice of paradise. Like staying in a coconut/rum/monkey dream. Joel is super nice and helpful.

The check in instructions were clear and everything was as advertised. Todo bien.

Hi Luke, We're glad to hear that the home suited your needs and that you found the check-in instructions clear. We sincerely hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back and provide a stay that exceeds your expectations.

Hi Sergio, thank you for taking the time to share your feedback, we are glad to hear you enjoyed our home and its location. We also appreciate your kind words and hope to welcome you back for another stay soon!

This home is SUPER lovely. The area of Cabo Matapalo in general is really lovely and full of nature’s best, and this home allows you to be fully immersed in it all. It’s right on the ocean, the gardens are lovely, and we were treated to macaws, howler monkeys, and many other animals and birds throughout our weekend stay. Joel was a very kind and helpful host - we felt very comfortable reaching out to him for anything we needed, and he responded quickly and helpfully every time. It was hard to leave this spot as we all felt so peaceful there. I hope to return one day. (Quick heads-up that the road along the beach is ROUGH and you definitely need a 4x4. Having high clearance is important also, as there are some points where our car couldn’t help but scrape larger rocks/obstacles embedded in the road. This will be true of any place you stay in the area if you are along the beach road)

Hi Melinda, thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us! We're thrilled to hear that you found our home and the surrounding nature so lovely. It's wonderful to know that you enjoyed the wildlife and that Joel provided such kind and helpful service during your stay. Your recommendation means a lot to us, and we hope to have the pleasure of hosting you and your family again for future visits to the area!

It was a pleasure to stay in CasaVerde. Joel was very available for us and he showed us the way to the waterfall which are a 15-minute walk from the house. The ocean view is breathtaking. If you love the luxury Robinson Crusoe spirit at the end of the world, you've come to the right place. Thanks for your hospitality.

Ce fut un plaisir de séjourner à CasaVerde. Joel s’est montré très disponible pour nous et il nous a montré le chemin pour aller au chute d’eau qui sont à un quart d’heure de marche de la maison. La vue sur l’océan est à couper le souffle. Si vous aimez l’esprit Robinson Crusoé de luxe au bout du monde, vous êtes au bon endroit. Merci pour votre accueil

Hey Géraldine, thank you for sharing your experience with us! It’s fantastic to hear that Joel was so helpful during your stay. The breathtaking ocean view and the luxurious Robinson Crusoe spirit truly make Casa Verde special. We look forward to welcoming you back!

Dreamhouse Joel, the person who manages the property, is a really very friendly and professional person Thank you Joel!

Maison de rêve Joël, la personne qui gère la propriété, est une personne vraiment très sympathique et professionnelle Merci Joel !

Casa Verde was 10/10,  100% beautiful. The house is basically on the water so you fall asleep to the sound of the waves. The location is pretty much at the end of the line and is ultra private and I would recommend this to anyone looking for a getaway in Matapalo.

My family and I had a great time in the green house, a beautiful place with ocean views and surrounded by nature , the area is great we go for a walk while you go forward you can observe monkeys, lapas, hummingbirds etc and if you are surf lovers the place is perfect. super recommended... and Joel the super helpful keeper and is always for any concerns. Thank you.

Mi familia y yo la pasamos genial en casa verde, un lugar hermoso con vista al mar y rodeado de naturaleza , la zona es genial salimos a caminar mientras avanza puedes observar monos, lapas, colibrí etc y si eres amantes del surf el lugar es perfecto. super recomendado... y Joel el encargado super servicial y siempre está para cualquier inquietud. Gracias.

What a wonderful experience! We had some mishaps with our rented car but Joel was more than helpful in assisting us. The house was perfect, the breezy beachfront was definitely a plus when the weather was humid and great for viewing the wildlife (monkeys, toucans, macaws, coatis, lizards, etc). The surrounding gardens were beautiful and well-kept which added to the already spectacular landscape. The only advice we have is if you choose to bring groceries, ensure to enclose them well— coatis are no strangers to supermarket baguettes. When we return to Costa Rica, we will definitely be staying here again. Pura vida!

We loved everything about the house! Its surroundings, the amenities and the beach that is just in front of the house. Joel and his family are always attentive to everything we needed and super friendly! We are going to miss that place and for sure sometime we will be back!

Nos encantó todo de la casa! Su entorno, las comidades y la playa que está Justo en frente a la casa. Joel y su familia siempre atentos a todo lo que necesitamos y súper amables! Vamos a extrañar ese lugar y seguro en algún momento volveremos!

Joel and his team made our experience unbelievably amazing. This rental is a lovely and tranquil spot at the end of the road with a fantastic beach front location.

Our stay at Casa Verde was fantastic! Joel, Orlando and Erica were great hosts and made sure we were taken care of well. The house is exactly as pictured; lovely, open air and tidy. One unexpected detail, the road runs between the house and the beach and ends just past the property. We had booked the house thinking it would be a private due to its “dead end” location, but it was actually very busy with traffic turning around and/or parking to take pictures all day long! It didn’t effect our stay or enjoyment of the house! But it was a bit disappointing when we realized how busy the location was (also had to hide in the bathroom a few times to change in privacy!) Overall we had such a great time, definitely recommend Matapalo to anyone looking for a magical jungle/ocean vacation!

The place was amazing ! Better than the picture. Joel was a fantastic help and he was checking up on us in case of we needed anything. Very close from the Matapalo surf spot. The view is breathtaking. Falling asleep with the sound of waves… We really loved that place!

The photos are accurate, the home is beautiful, the location is beautiful. The caretaker's hospitality was topnotch. Orlando was able to pick up items we needed when he went home in the evenings. Orlando arranged for me to go lobster fishing with a local kid and he arranged horseback riding for my wife. Everything was perfect. The solar power is limited, so best practice is to wake with the sun, go all out for the day, and go to bed with the sun.

We have stayed in Cabo Matapalo multiple times, this was our first time staying at Casa Verde. We definitely will stay there again. The accommodations were awesome and the location is great.

CASA VERDE is a great place to spend holiday in Cabo Matapalo. The CASA VERDE Team is The open beach house will give you the impression to live on the beach with all the comfort you need for great holidays. Not to less, not to much !! It's a very ingenious house with local material and also nice deco. Everything is in the kitchen to cook ! The team will give you all the indication to have a good stay in CASA VERDE and will also provide you great services if you ask for it. Just two indications : 1- prefer arriving during the day, before 5 ; of course possible at night. Maps me app knows CASA VERDE. 2- you must have a 4WD to reach the house. It's absolutely not dangerous but some roots could be difficult to pass with a supercar even if you are a good pilot ! I really want to thank you the guy who decide to build this CASA VERDE with is really great to spend holidays and his team, Joel, Orlando and Ericka. Sincerely, Benjamin & Family.

Amazing house right on the ocean, mostly recomended.

Fabulous location overlooking the ocean 20 paces from the sans at the end of Matapalo Beach Rd. Open, airy space that another reviewer termed “high end glamping”. There’s a sister home with a separate Airbnb listing that is bigger but both listings have the exact same photos so it’s hard to tell what you’ll be getting. The pool is knee deep and six feet in diameter, so not for swimming. David the property manager was great—very responsive, friendly and helpful. Bottom line: it’s all about the location and view.

This place is amazing! It‘s very nice and direct at the beach. I would come here again :)

We had an incredibly joyful and relaxing stay. The house was amazing - open air, we could hear the ocean all day, with a fantastic and well equipped kitchen, comfortable beds and great living space. We loved the fresh air, all the animals, and of course the beach.

Not worth the nightly rate.  Amazing location, but lots of loose ends and unsafe features that don’t make it family friendly.   Could be a dream house with a few minor upgrades.

Thank you Michael for your honest feedback, we appreciate your kind comments and suggestions, we will definitely work on those upgrades and loose ends to make sure the experience provided turns out excellent for our guests.

We have used Airbnb many times and had so many wonderful stays. This one however was a nightmare. We contacted the host many times prior to arrival for directions and to see why they had not sent us the informational email that was supposed to be forthcoming. No one got back to us. Not the property owner, not the property manager, not the property management company. This seemed strange, but our reservation status still said confirmed, so with a 9 hour drive ahead of us we drove there. When we got all the way to Puerto Jimenez, about 40 min from the property, we finally got a response from the property management company. The canceled our reservation, that we had made 10 days prior, at the last minute. This left us with no place to go and was extremely irresponsible and unprofessional. A member of the property management company found us somewhere to stay that night that was 4 hours away, full of bugs, with no internet or electricity. This was a horrible experience for myself, my wife and 3 young children.

Hello Mark, we are very sorry for the miscommunication and inconveniences, unfortunately, the village of Matapalo decided at the last minute to not accept any tourists because of the risks of Covid-19, and for the security of everyone involved, we had to abide by this decision. We understand that this is not an excuse and that nothing will make up for the bad experience you had, but this was something out of everyone's control, again, we apologize for all the problems caused.

Beautiful setting, plenty of space for our family of 5, great greeting and information from Carlos! Would highly recommend this open air home for a great trip to Matapalo.

Casa Verde is a unique place. The Pacific Ocean is your front garden. The entertainment is the wildlife. You sink into getting up with the sun and going to sleep when it gets dark. It's just how t is. Yes - it's humid and the access road is basically dried up river bed, but that's why you book it, right? Wildlife everywhere, the sound of the waves fills the air, it's a kind of retreat from civilisation. We loved it. Be aware you need a decent 4x4 to manage the road. Also the monkeys will come and take your food if you leave it out.

The accommodation is located in front of the sea... you sleep with the sound of the waves. The cleanliness is impeccable. The sheets and towels are of excellent quality, and the kitchen is equipped with quality utensils... very good for those who like to cook. What we liked the most was the kindness of Carlos and his sister, who work on the property. Always willing to help... we would definitely come back...thank you very much...

El alojamiento esta ubicado frente al mar...se duerme con el sonido de las olas. La limpieza es impecable.Las sabanas y toallas de excelente calidad, y la cocina esta equipada con utensilios de calidad.. muy bueno para el que le gusta cocinar. Lo que mas nos gusto fue la amabilidad de Carlos y su hermana, que trabajan en la propiedad. Siempre dispuestos a ayudar.. sin duda volveríamos...muchas gracias..

This is an amazing home that offers endless things to do. The open air second story sleeping area create cool breezes that were so refreshing. If this home had AC, you wouldn’t ever use it. Carlos, the property manager took us surfing, and guided to the perfect stay. When we decide to stay longer, and the house was booked he immediately found us another home close by. He couldn’t be more helpful! This home is a must visit and will return again. Please take the “4 wheel drive requirement”seriously!
