We liked the house very much. We enjoyed walks on the beach and the Congo monkeys. It has all the amenities and an unbeatable location for a pleasant stay, if you like to enjoy nature.

This place was amazing! The house itself was immaculate and matched the pictures perfectly. In fact, the pictures don't do it justice. The property is tucked in a small community off the main road and steps away from the beach. You'll have access to a fenced private backyard, and you walk through it to get to the beach. You have plenty of access to open-air space, with the option to open up the master bedroom. No need to bring an alarm, the howler monkeys will start to howl at sunrise ( around 5am). Its super cool to listen to. As you sip on your coffee in the morning or drink towards the end of the day, gaze to the tree tops and you'll spot monkeys, sloths and macaws right in the back yard. This place does not dissappoint. 5 Stars!

Great place and unique experience! You have a small, private part of the jungle only for yourself. The house is very well equipped and despite the fact that it is located in an isolated area everywhere is close especially to grocery shops and empanadas stands :) We definitely recommend this place!

This is a great house in a great location. Howler monkeys, green macaws, and toucans all common from the deck. The walk to the beach is super short and well maintained. You can see water from the second story. The craftsmanship around the house feels very European and sound. If you’re looking for a Costa Rican jungle house on the beach, this is it. Just know the house is designed to be living half inside and half outside, so if you’re into that this is your place. Also there were surf boards, bogie boards, and sand toys which was a huge bonus. Lots of keys to navigate with the doors and gates, but it’s all doable. Would stay here again.
