A beautiful mountain location, no noise, ideal for resting, and with many amenities on site. In addition, the tourist sites are very close.

The spot is AMAZING! We have travel to Costa Rica many times and have stayed all over the west and east side of the country. By far Ms. Tree, the air b and b and the location are on point. Epic human, dope air b and b and the location is FLY! I stayed at the Harlequin location on Ms. Tree’s property for a month. The home was equipped with everything you might need for a short or long term stay. The outdoor kitchen and ability to grill was a huge plus for us. Also, for those that like hot water showers - hot water and pressure is wonderful. The little farm on the property is a magic touch and the animals are friendly and fun! Ms Tree and her staff/peeps are friendly, kind and helpful. I highly recommend Ms Tree and this listing.

The property is absolutely stunning and serene. A car is extremely helpful for getting around and seeing all the beaches and hiking trails but not necessary. Hosts were super welcoming and very responsive and even gave us an extensive tour of the property filled with many fruits and unique vegetation as well as goats, turtles, chickens, cats, and dogs. Would definitely love to stay here again!

Tree was very friendly and helpful. If you had a question, you got a helpful answer very quickly. Additional services, such as a short tour, were also offered. The container and the farm were also absolutely great. We thoroughly enjoyed it and highly recommend booking with her.

You will feel welcome and grateful to have landed at Margarita Hills. It's a special place in a jungle setting, just a 5-minute drive to Cocles, or a few minutes more to Puerto & the beaches, restaurants, & markets along this stretch of the coast. It's a well-equipped casita! But if I needed anything, Tree & her kind and helpful team were always available. I was here during late Feb-early March. It’s hot & humid, but with the overhead fans and AC in the sleeping space (plus a great mattress!), I was very comfortable. I shared the large property with our host and other guests, & the way the farm is laid out offers total privacy. Ask Tree for a walking tour & you’ll meet the goats, sheep, chickens, ducks, etc. You’ll likely get visits from the sweetest dogs & a couple of cats. And there’s daily wildlife passing through. I watched a family of Howler monkeys from my deck the first morning, & during my stay also saw toucans, parrots, a sloth, beautiful frogs, & many more colorful birds.

I stayed here for 3 unforgettable months and truly felt like I was living in a jungle paradise. The property is a lush, peaceful farm surrounded by nature—cacao trees along a beautiful green river, monkey and toucan families passing by, and stunning jungle views from the upstairs cabin. The host, Tree, and her family were incredibly kind and generous. I was regularly gifted fresh organic eggs, plantains, exotic fruits, and even homemade pine nut hummus made from trees on the land! She always made sure I had clean spring water, and any issue that came up was addressed right away with care. The housekeepers and groundskeepers were equally lovely—just a great, welcoming community. This place is perfect for nature lovers and those seeking a tranquil, off-grid experience. A couple of things to note for future guests: the cabin has friendly cats that love to hang out nearby (and leave their fur as souvenirs!), so if you’re not a cat person, it might not be ideal. Overall, highly recommend!

Tree is without a doubt the best Airbnb host I’ve ever had. My fiancé and I lived in Trees beautiful home for 1 month where I teleworked with no problem. The place is better than the pictures. The open air kitchen is fresh and clean and feels so lovely to be in all times of day. We loved all our furry friends (Mimi will be missed) and the farm fresh eggs were such an added bonus. We did not end up getting a vehicle, we took the 30-40 min walk to grocery store/beach and that worked well for us. This place is a gem and we are eager to return!

Casa Harlequin is very carefully thought out and decorated. Extremely clean, everything you needed in both the bathroom and the kitchen was there. The jungle and farm atmosphere provide guests with an authentic experience. We had fresh eggs every day! Tree hosted us very well and gave us a very valuable recommendation list that was very helpful to us. We recommend it 100%.
