The Home
Casa Cielo has four bedrooms and comfortably sleeps up to 10 guests.
- Main Bedroom 1: Enjoys breathtaking panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean and Carara National Park. The room has direct sliding-door access to the pool deck, an en-suite bathroom with double showerheads, and a spacious walk-in closet.
- Main Bedroom 2: A quiet and convenient room facing the home’s entrance, with its own private bathroom.
- Main Bedroom 3: Includes pool deck access and an additional twin bed. The room shares a beautifully appointed bathroom with the common areas.

The fully equipped gourmet kitchen includes everything needed for meal preparation, as well as a modern automatic dishwasher. Spacious living and dining areas open to sweeping views of the infinity pool and ocean. The living room also features a large television for comfortable relaxation.
Recent Upgrades
- Full solar power system: The entire home has been converted to solar energy, providing reliable electricity during Costa Rica’s frequent power outages. Air conditioning, lighting, internet, and other modern conveniences can continue operating without interruption.

- Covered outdoor dining area: Provides a comfortable setting for al fresco meals with ocean views in any weather.

The House was extremely beautiful and clean! Diana was easy to communicate with and EXTREMELY helpful with planning activities and transportation. The house is located downhill in the mountain top and our driver couldn’t make it down hill so we walked up and down a steep hill everyday! Jaco is about 40-1hour away without traffic. If you are looking for something relaxing and pristine I would recommend this home! ❤️

We had a great time, it's an amazing place with a beautiful panoramic view. The house is very functional and very well-equipped. We were able to communicate with Diana during our stay, she is responsive and gives us lots of advice. The path to access the house is very steep, it is preferable to have a high car, 4/4 style. I highly recommend it, we loved it.

Casa Cielo was the perfect place to experience the best of Costa Rica! The location couldn’t be better—just a short drive from the airport, close to a great grocery store, and within easy reach of beaches, waterfalls, hiking, and ziplining adventures. The home itself is beautifully designed and so comfortable, with breathtaking ocean and mountain views that made every sunrise and sunset unforgettable. We loved relaxing in the pool after a day of exploring, listening to the sounds of nature and taking in the scenery. The hosts were outstanding, providing thoughtful touches and great local recommendations that made our stay even better. Casa Cielo truly felt like our own private paradise—we can’t wait to come back!

The house is just as described, the pool and view are incredible, the kitchen has everything you need and more to prepare meals. The description says that a 4x4 is needed, however you can leave the car before arriving at the house and it is super safe to move things to the house since it is very close to where you leave the car.

Wonderful place to relax and take in beautiful views! The house was clean and laid out nicely with all the necessary amenities. There is a somewhat major road close by so when you’re outside, it’s not totally quiet. That didn’t bother us though, we spent plenty of time in the beautiful pool! We enjoyed how private the surrounding area was but yet a 30 minute drive took you to all the ‘city living.’ We were very lucky to see several white faced monkeys across from our house! We would absolutely recommend staying here, it’s well worth it!
