Guests have full access to the entire house. The owners store their car in the locked garage when not present. You may park your vehicle underneath the house to protect it from sun and rain.

## Other Things to Note

The house is situated in one of the most biodiverse regions on Earth, so insects are common. To minimize their presence, it is important to store food properly, keep doors closed, and use only necessary lighting. Although the entire house is screened, the large accordion doors on the deck allow for an open connection to the surrounding environment.

Santo Poco - Sea and Rainforest Views - Houses for Rent in Cañaza, Provincia de Puntarenas, Costa Rica

This house truly feels like a little slice of paradise. From the moment we arrived, we were surrounded by nature. In the morning, I was already sitting on the terrace at 5 a.m., in complete peace and quiet, birdwatching as the birds came almost all the way into the living room. Other animals also made an appearance; it felt like we were allowed to be part of the jungle for a while. Everything was just as it should be: the sounds, the movement, even the insects. It made the experience complete and real. The house itself is beautiful, cozy, and has everything you need. You can feel that care and attention have gone into it. The hostess was very warm and provided clear explanations, which immediately made us feel at ease upon arrival. We absolutely love this place and the area. This is one of those places where you don’t just stay, but you really experience something. We will definitely be back here.

Dit huis voelt echt als een klein stukje paradijs. Vanaf het moment dat we aankwamen, werden we omringd door natuur. ’s Ochtends zat ik al om 5 uur op het terras, in alle rust, vogels te spotten terwijl ze bijna tot in de woonkamer kwamen. Ook andere dieren lieten zich zien , het voelde alsof we even helemaal deel mochten uitmaken van de jungle. Alles mocht er gewoon zijn: de geluiden, de beweging, zelfs de insecten. Het maakte de ervaring compleet en echt. Het huis zelf is mooi, gezellig en heeft alles wat je nodig hebt. Je voelt dat er zorg en aandacht in zit. De gastvrouw was heel warm en gaf duidelijke uitleg, wat meteen een gerust gevoel gaf bij aankomst. Wij houden enorm van deze plek en de omgeving. Dit is zo’n plek waar je niet alleen verblijft, maar echt iets beleeft. We komen hier zeker terug.

Ryan’s place is everything you need for a few days in beautiful surroundings full of wildlife, and I could easily spend months there! It is a a piece of heaven indeed! Ryan was always responsive, and made our stay in the area much better with his helpful advise and the excellent local wildlife guide he recommended!

This off the beaten path (but still accessible) house was a perfect perch in the jungle for our family of 4. We were very comfortable in the beds, the house was spacious, the care takers on site were lovely, and the canopy views from the deck were the best part! The serene setting helped us settle in after long travel days and we drop right in to the heart of the forest.  Highly recommend. Must have 4 wheel drive.

The accommodation is spacious and very clean and atypical: totally open to the lush nature that surrounds it (mosquito nets at the openings). At the height of the trees we saw capuchins and saïmiris in the morning and also a couple of toucans and several red macaws. In the evening you should not be afraid of insects! But the sounds of the forest lull us all night... total immersion in the tropical forest! We were able to cook and the bathrooms were perfect. Ana and her husband were very welcoming, knew how to remain discreet and advised us on the best beaches: the colibri beach is a real paradise! Finally, Ana's garden is full of exotic flowers and she will not hesitate to let you taste specialties!! Thank you for having us!

le logement est spacieux et tres propre et atypique: totalement ouvert sur la nature luxuriante qui l'entoure ( moustiquaires aux ouvertures ). a hauteur d'arbres nous avons vu des capucins et saïmiris le matin et aussi un couple de toucans et plusieurs d'aras rouges. le soir il ne faut pas avoir peur des insectes ! mais les bruits de la foret nous bercent toute la nuit...immersion totale en foret tropicale! nous avons pu cuisiner et les sanitaires etaient parfaits. ana et son mari ont ete tres accueillants, ont su rester discrets et nous ont conseillé les meilleures plages: la plage colibri est un vrai paradis! enfin le jardin d'ana regorge de fleurs exotiques et elle n'hesitera pas a vous faire gouter des specialités!! merci de nous avoir accueillis !

What spotless and accurate to the photos and description ..great for a big group .  Nature all around., ensure you have a 4x4 as road  can be challenging. Ryan recommended a local tour guide: John Jairo very passionated and proud tico who want you to see it all to make your stay unforgettable. GRACIAS and hopefully we can see you all again,

The views and nature around this property were awesome.  We saw toucans (including the fiery billed aracaris) hopping around and flying close by and several pairs of scarlet macaws flying passed every day.  The sounds of the forest were a revelation and added so much to our experience.    If you go I'd recommend just hanging out for as much time you can on the balcony taking in the views and sounds.  Bring a pair of binoculars and see if you can match the different calls to the various animals.  This is a wonderful place if you want a few slow days and to just take it all in.

If you want to unwind in the jungle, this is it. The house is beautifully built and you have an amazing view of untouched jungle. This is off the grid in a good way. We loved Ana and Juan, the caretakers. My friends stayed here before and mentioned that Ana cooked for them and taught them, too. When I told her I was interested in learning some dishes, I went to the grocery store with her and then she taught me a new Costa Rican dish each night as she cooked dinner for my family. It was so fun. Ryan was great to communicate with—gave great recommendations for things to do in the area. I loved the sounds of the jungle all the time. There is no TV which I liked. My husband and four kids played games at night instead. We also had every beach to ourselves. We didn’t see any other tourists except at the supermarket and down near matapalo. All the beaches were empty with just my family all day. What a great experience.

Beautiful remote home in Osa.  Caretaker Ana was very hospitable and kind and cooks a great breakfast.

This is truly an incredible place to stay.  The design of the house, view, and overall atmosphere is amazing.  Would highly recommend staying here!

The house is perfect for a stay in the jungle with a breathtaking view

We arrived at this special place looking for a place to stay to go to Corcovado Park. We found a beautiful view of the jungle. It makes you feel like you're in a hidden part of the world. The house is impeccable, with spacious rooms. A beautiful wooden floor. It has everything you need for cooking. I really appreciated that they recycled and composted. All cotton linens.

Llegamos a este Lugar especial buscando donde alojar para ir al Parque Corcovado. Nos encontramos con una vista hermosa a la selva. Te hace sentir que estas en un lugar recondito del mundo. La casa impecable, espacios amplios. Un piso precioso de madera. Tiene de todo lo necesario para cocinar. Aprecie mucho que reciclaran e hicieran compost. Toda la ropa de cama de algodon.

If you are looking for a very nice place to stay, with great views and a little bit outside of Puerto Jimenez, just stop looking and book this place.  It's super clean, unique and modern.  The on-property caretakers are great people and willing to help if you need something.  Should I ever visit this area of Costa Rica again, I would stay here without hesitation.

Ryan was very kind, communicated with us constantly, and gave us good recommendations (for example, we did a tour of PN Corcovado with Eric, he told us places to eat and buy food in Puerto Jimenez - 20 minutes by car). The caretakers Ana and Juan were helpful at all times. It helped us a lot to be able to wash clothes at a reasonable price. The place is beautiful, the house is located in the middle of the forest where you can see beautiful sunrises and sunsets. The house is well-equipped and the facilities are new, with good ventilation. We'll be back for sure.

Ryan fue muy amable, se comunicó con nosotros constantemente, y nos dio buenas recomendaciones (por ejemplo, hicimos un tour de PN Corcovado con Eric, nos indicó lugares para comer y comprar comida en Puerto Jimenez - 20 minutos en auto). Los cuidadores Ana y Juan tuvieron buena disposición en todo momento. Nos ayudó mucho poder lavar ropa a un precio razonable. El lugar es precioso, la casa queda ubicada en pleno bosque donde se puede apreciar lindos amaneceres y atardeceres. La casa esta bien equipada y las instalaciones nuevas, buena ventilación. Volveremos si o si.

Staying at Ryan’s house was a highlight of our trip. The view is stunning. We loved seeing so much wildlife from the balcony. Waking up to the rainforest was an incredible experience. The house was very clean, it had all the amenities listed, the internet worked great, the kitchen was well stocked, there was storage for our belongings, and it was a family friendly home. Ryan was attentive, friendly, and provided great details to us ahead of time so we knew what to expect. He also gave us helpful suggestions of things to do in the area. He recommended a guide, Jairo, for a visit to Corcovado National Park and we are so grateful for that because Jairo was fantastic. The housekeepers, Ana and Juan, were wonderful! We used the option of paying Ana to cook for us and it was absolutely worth it! She is a fantastic cook and is so fun to talk with and learn from. We wish we had booked a longer stay and hope to be back soon!

Thanks so much! I'm glad you had a fantastic stay, and I hope to meet you in person on your next visit.

This place was amazing, the view was incredible. Everything was super clean. Ryan had great recommendations.

Fantastic view, perfect for anyone who can do something with nature and wildlife watching.

Traumhafter Blick, perfekt für alle die mit Natur und Tierbeobachtung etwas anfangen können.

The view from Ryan's place is gorgeous. There are so many birds right off the deck.  Ryan is super helpful and responsive. Ana helped us cook several dinners. We had a wonderful relaxing time.

We had a great time at Ryans place. The house is beautiful and located in a private and quiet area. It has stunning ocean views and lots of birds and green all around. The house was fully equipped with everything we needed and Ryan was super nice and responsive to any question we had. Highly recommended!

We loved our stay here! From the porch, all you can see are the rainforest, ocean, and mountains. We were completely surrounded by nature and saw so many animals, including scarlet macaws, toucans, and squirrel monkeys. It felt really remote, yet it's only a few minutes from the main road. The caretakers were so sweet, and we managed to communicate even though they don’t speak English and we don’t speak Spanish. We had Ana Isabel cook for us one night, and it was such a treat to enjoy the sunset without worrying about making dinner. We had a delicious and healthy dinner consisting of rice, beans, and pork chops with vegetables on the side, and fresh pineapple for dessert. I wish we had stayed longer than two nights. Waking up to the birds, drinking coffee on the porch, and eventually making our way to the beach was incredibly relaxing. I hope we can come back someday.

The new home was impeccable and super modern, with a minimalistic design. What truly set this place apart was the stunning deck that allowed us to immerse ourselves in nature. From there, we were treated to the mesmerizing sight of birds (Toucans and Macaws) and monkeys every day. The hosts take pride in their property and made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. Our hosts were fantastic – attentive, friendly, and eager to ensure our stay was perfect. They provided helpful recommendations for local attractions (a local beach - Playa Jaunito Mora, 10 minutes away) and the city of Puerto Jimenez, which offers tours to Corcovado National Park.
