Perfect jungle getaway with stunning views and amazing wildlife! Our stay at this house was absolutely unforgettable. The location is spectacular—perched on a hill surrounded by dense forest, offering breathtaking views over Tárcoles and the Gulf of Nicoya. The garden and outdoor kitchen are beautifully landscaped and became our favorite spots to relax. Every single day brought a new wildlife encounter. We saw scarlet macaws (Aras), toucans, iguanas, and both small and large frogs right on the property. Our kids absolutely loved the infinity pool, which was an incredible highlight—especially during the rain! Word of caution for future guests: The hill leading up to the house is very steep. We highly recommend renting a 4WD vehicle to navigate it safely - as we recommend to travel within Costa Rica generally. Thank you for an amazing stay! We would highly recommend this place to families and nature lovers.

This place was truly a dream! It looked exactly like the pictures and was even more beautiful in person. The location was perfect for exploring both the north and south parts of the island, with great restaurants and grocery stores just a short drive away. Our kids absolutely loved the pool—it was hard to get them to leave! We also enjoyed watching the little iguana family, birds, and butterflies around the property, which made our stay even more special. Edguardo was a wonderful host. Communication was excellent, and he was always quick to answer our questions. The property is on a steep hill, so I recommend having a reliable car. Overall, this was the best Airbnb we've stayed in so far.

My wife and I, along with our two boys and two nieces, stayed here and had an amazing experience. The property was beautiful, clean, and well-equipped with everything we needed. The view was absolutely spectacular and made our stay even more enjoyable. We truly loved our time here. Edgardo was incredibly helpful, responsive, and attentive to any questions or requests we had throughout our stay. Thank you so much for your hospitality. We greatly appreciated our stay and would highly recommend this place to others!

The views from on top of the mountain are worth the drive up the hill. We felt safe inside the gated neighborhood. The pool was chilly and the days we were there were extra windy but we still managed to enjoy the outdoor space nearly every moment we were there. Edgardo was a huge help. He is very willing to book tours and arrange anything you need—we planned to have a chef twice during our stay and he even arranged for them to bring a birthday cake. We had four adult couples and had plenty of space to eat meals together, hang out inside and outside, park our two cars (though there is a special way you have to do it!), and having our own bathrooms was a huge plus. This was the perfect place to celebrate a 40th birthday. Our biggest regret is we didn’t hire the incredible chefs for more meals!

What a lovely few weeks we had at Casa Celestial!! Edguardo was very helpful and always on hand when needed! The view is incredible and the house itself is stunning! Jaco is only a quick 20 minute drive away and the restaurants nearby are lovely! Having edguardo on hand was the best and he was amazing at helping us book any activities! Just at the house we saw plenty of beautiful wildlife such as toucans, woodpeckers, hummingbirds, macaws, monkeys and regular visits from a coati! Would definitely stay here again!
