Toucan Hill House - Cabins for Rent in Montezuma, Puntarenas, Costa Rica

Definitely a very special place, surrounded by nature and with a lot of charm.

Sens dubte un lloc molt especial, envoltat de natura i amb molt d'encant.

We liked the house very much. Very peaceful place. It had everything it said it would. We stayed for several days, and it was very comfortable. Everything worked. The kitchen was equipped with everything necessary for cooking there.All very neat and tidy. Separation of organic waste and recycling. It was like being at home. The internet is good enough for teleworking with video calls.  Ms. Florencia's service is always excellent. Good location, 5 minutes or less to Montezuma and 15 minutes to Cóbano. No complaints, highly recommended. We would definitely come back.

Nos gustó mucho la casa. Lugar muy tranquilo. Tenía todo lo que decía. Nos quedamos por varios días y fue muy cómodo. Todo funcionaba. La cocina equipada con lo necesario para cocinar ahí. Todo muy aseado y ordenado. Separación de residuos orgánicos y reciclaje. Fue como estar en casa. El internet suficientemente bueno para teletrabajo con video llamadas.  La atención de doña Florencia excelente siempre. Buena ubicación, 5 minutos o menos a Montezuma y 15 minutos a Cóbano. Niguna queja, muy recomendado. Volveríamos sin dudarlo.

This place is truly unique. Maria is a Great Host and super helpful. You can totally enjoy the quietness of nature there. It is a Remote place though. Make sure to arrive during daylight.

My partner Jessenia and I had a great time. The place was beautiful, the cabin was very, very beautiful, and it was impeccably tidy—you couldn't ask for more. It has everything you need and is very comfortable not only for a couple, but also for more people who might want to go, as it is very spacious and comfortable. It is fully equipped, and it has a hot tub, which we loved. We were visited by birds of many kinds, and the contact with nature and the privacy are priceless. And best of all, Florencia, the owner or manager, is a wonderful person, always attentive, helpful, and has a great touch and heart for providing excellent service. A wonderful human being. Thank you so much, Florencia!A highly recommended place to stay in Montezuma. It's an oasis of tranquility.

Mi pareja Jessenia y yo la pasamos increíble. El lugar hermoso, la cabaña muy muy hermosa, y el orden de ella no se podía pedir más. Tiene todo lo necesario y es muy cómoda no solo para una pareja, sino para más personas que quisieran ir dado que es muy espaciosa y cómoda. Está completamente equipada, tiene jacuzzi y eso nos encantó. Nos visitaron  aves de muchos tipos y el contacto con naturaleza y la privacidad no tienen precio. Y lo mejor, Florencia, su propietaria o administradora una hermosa persona, siempre atenta, servicial, con un tacto y corazón para atender muy grandes. Una maravillosa ser humano ¡Gracias totales Florencia!Un espacio sumamente recomendado para tomarlo como hospedaje en Montezuma. Es un oasis de tranquilidad.

The best place we've stayed in Costa Rica; we would recommend it without hesitation.

le meilleur logement que nous aillons fait au Costa Rica, nous le conseillons sans hésitation.

Our itinerary changed and Flor kindly let us come earlier than planned. It was a little tricky finding the place, but she was there to guide us in. I thought we would love Toucan Hill House. The porch was great to hang out on, and I did enjoy looking at the birds and agouti who came by. But the inside is pretty dark and smaller than I expected. And then there were the mosquitos.... We are both mosquito magnets. At night, with no way to keep the mosquitos out, we tucked under the mosquito nets right after dinner. Because my partner is 6'2" and CR beds are short, we couldn't both fit on the larger bed and get the net to work, so he moved to the single bed so I could sleep. He got eaten by mosquitos because the netting just rested on him. It was a miserable night. So sadly, it was not a great fit for us. But it's a unique house, and Flor was very kind and responsive. Without the mosquitoes, we would have stayed longer to see if the toucans came by!

Loretta, I'm sorry to hear that despite my efforts to accommodate your needs—changing your reservation dates twice, and thoroughly cleaning the entire house with vinegar, including sheets and towels, to address your allergies—you chose only to mention the mosquito issue in your review. Based on previous feedback, this seems to be a recurring concern for you. We are currently in the dry season here, so I would caution you against visiting during the rainy season if mosquitoes are a concern. That said, you did request mosquito nets, and they were provided on every bed. As for the photos, they were taken by me with my cell phone and are completely accurate representations of the property. There’s no trickery involved. Good luck!

The house is amazing, very large, with a super nice terrace, there is absolutely everything you need, especially for cooking. We even saw monkeys and squirrels in the surrounding trees, Flor is super welcoming, super responsive, very good advice on things to do in the area, and very accommodating we were able to arrive early in the morning at 11am, There is a nice slope to get to the house, but nothing insurmountable 😉 Thank you Flor!

La maison est incroyable, très grande, avec une terasse hyper agréable, il y a absolument tout le nécessaire, notamment pour cuisiner. Nous avons même vu des singes et des écureuils dans les arbres aux alentours, Flor est hyper accueillante, hyper réactive, de très bons conseils sur les choses à faire dans les environs, et très arrangeante nous avons pu arriver tôt le matin a 11h, Il y a une belle pente pour arriver a la maison, mais rien d'insurmontable 😉 Merci Flor !

Thank you for your hospitality, this place is just beautiful, the house is perfect

Merci pour votre accueil, cet endroit est juste magnifique, la maison est parfaite

Cool home and very kind host. We really enjoyed relaxing on the porch. Thank you!

Amazing location! Amazing stay! Amazing host!✨✨✨

Flor was a super host. Very kind and likeable. The property is beautiful, quirky and peaceful. Highly recommend.

Maria is a wonderful host. Thanks you very much.

Flor was an amazing host, always responsive and very proactive. We will 100% recommend this place, is exactly as it shows in the pictures, very peaceful and  private, Flor has everything very organize and the place and surrounding areas were more than beautiful.

We only discovered Toucan Hill House by accident. But the pictures and the description appealed to us immediately. We decided to book this place for 2 nights. Maria welcomed us warmly in person. She showed us around and explained everything. It really is a dream house that we can absolutely recommend to everyone. We were able to watch various birds, howler monkeys entertained us, a troop of at least 15 capuchin monkeys made their way around the house and we also met geckos and iguanas. Parking on the property is not a problem, but an all-wheel drive vehicle is absolutely an advantage, especially in the rainy season. The driveway is steep and quite narrow at the end. We would come back any time and if our path leads us back to Montezuma, then we will book there again!

Wir haben das Toucan Hill House nur durch Zufall entdeckt. Aber die Bilder und die Beschreibung haben uns sofort angesprochen. Wir haben uns entschieden diese Unterkunft für 2 Nächte zu buchen. Maria hat uns herzlich persönlich empfangen. Sie hat uns alles gezeigt und erklärt. Es ist wirklich ein Traumhaus was wir jedem nur absolut ans Herz legen können. Wir konnten verschiedensten Vögeln zuschauen, Brüllaffen haben uns unterhalten, eine Affenbande von bestimmt 15 Kapuzineräffchen haben sich um das Haus rum ihren Weg gesucht und auch Gekkos und Leguane haben wir getroffen. Parken auf dem Grundstück ist kein Problem, ein Allradfahrzeug ist aber absolut von Vorteil, insbesondere in der Regenzeit. Die Einfahrt ist steil und am Ende ziemlich eng. Wir würden jederzeit wieder kommen und wenn uns unser Weg Mal wieder nach Montezuma führt, dann werden wir wieder dort buchen!

Simply a corner of heaven! This spacious and beautifully decorated cabin is a perfect place to reconnect with nature!!! Thanks to Maria who was very welcoming and caring. We hope to come back someday 💚

Un coin de paradis tout simplement ! Cette cabane spacieuse et joliment décorée est l'endroit parfait pour se reconnecter à la nature !!! Merci à Maria qui a été très accueillante et attentionnée. Nous reviendrons un jour, on l'espère 💚

We stayed for six weeks at Toucan Hill House. Flor was kind, warm and responsive every single day of our visit. She knows everyone in town and her recommendations are excellent. She is extremely responsive with any needs regarding the house and any questions about the area. Toucan Hill House is a lovely aerie above the relaxed and beautiful beach town of Montezuma. It is truly paradise. The kitchen is basic but very well thought out - everything you need to prepare basic foods. If you plan to walk the half mile to town, be aware that the road is steep. Also bring bug spray and sunscreen! We loved our stay and would return in a heartbeat.

Can’t say enough, amazing jungle treehouse feel just a couple minutes from town and the beach. Maria was an AWESOME host and recommend it 100000x. Top notch spot, amazing host.

muchísimas gracias!!!! Fueron huéspedes maravillosos, aquí estaré esperándolos cuando regresen!!!!!!

We spent a few days at Maria Florencia's who was very friendly. Maria Florencia is a great person, gave us information about activities around, restaurants etc. Very nice apartment in nature! Thanks again Maria Florencia.

Nous avons passé quelques jours chez Maria Florencia qui ont été très sympathique. Maria Florencia est un personne super, nous a donné des informations sur les activités autour, les restaurants etc.. Très belle appartement dans la nature ! Merci encore Maria Florencia.

It's a beautiful place and unique service

es un lugar precioso y una atención unica

Our stay at Toucan Hill House was wonderful! We saw a lot of animals from the terrace in a very short time (agoutis, howler monkeys, toucans, hummingbirds and many other birds, many butterflies, geckos and bats). You can sit on the balcony for hours and just marvel at the great garden and wildlife. Every now and then the nice dog comes by and says hello. The house is beautifully built and is characterized by the special, open construction. We were there by car, so the way to the village was no problem for us. Flor greeted us in a very friendly way and showed us the house. In the event of a power failure, she immediately informed us and made a report, so the problem was resolved within a very short time. The toucan hill house is definitely recommended and we would come back immediately. Small tip: do not leave any fruit in the kitchen, the ants like it especially :).

Unser Aufenthalt im Toucan Hill House war wunderbar! Wir haben in kürzester Zeit sehr viele Tiere von der terasse aus gesehen (aguti, brüllaffen, tukan, kolibris und viele andere vögel, viele schmetterlinge, geckos und fledermäuse). Man kann stundenlang auf dem balkon sitzen und einfach nur den tollen garten und die tierwelt bestaunen. Ab und zu kommt der nette hund vorbei und sagt hallo. Das haus ist wunderschön gebaut und zeichnet sich durch den speziellen, offenen bau aus. Wir waren mit dem auto da, von daher war der weg ins dorf für uns kein problem. Flor hat uns sehr freundlich begrüsst und das haus gezeigt. Beim stromausfall hat sie uns sofort bescheid gesagt und eine meldung gemacht, so war das problem innert kürzester zeit behoben. Das toucan hill house ist auf jeden fall weiterzuempfehlen und wir würden sofort wieder kommen. Kleiner tipp: keine Früchte in der küche liegen lassen, die ameisen mögen diese besonders :).

What a peaceful safe place! I didn't want to leave. The architecture of the house was truly amazing and so Costa Rican. It was a wooden house with a huge overhanging roof which kept out the rain and you felt like you were part of the jungle. It was clean, comfortable and safe. I especially liked the front deck where I could do yoga. Everything you needed was there a full kitchen with pots and pans and dishes. Maria was very communicative and you felt like you were part of her family, very caring Thank you so much for letting us share your home.

highly recommend this place, such a nice environment

The Toucan Hill House is truly a special place. You are immersed in nature and at the house you visit different animals every day. The house itself is super nice! Flora is sweet and helpful. It couldn't have been better :)

Das Toucan Hill House ist wirklich ein besonderer Ort. Man ist mitten in der Natur und beim Haus besuchen einen jeden Tag andere Tiere. Das Haus selbst ist super schön! Flora ist lieb und hilfsbereit. Es hätte nicht besser sein können :)

This is a great spot in Montezuma. The home is beautiful and comfortable, I especially enjoyed the deck. I didn’t have a car and that wasn’t an issue for me. I walked down the hill (yes it’s a main road so you need to be careful) and then would take a taxi back up. I also took the local bus to Cabuya/Cabo Blanco nature reserve.

We loved our stay! It was very quiet and beautiful at Flor's. The kitchen is well equipped, we cooked there for 5 days and had everything - even paddocks to store food scraps at short notice. The place is very clean and has plenty of space. Flor is a great host who responds quickly and always helps. We felt at home. A car is highly recommended from our point of view, otherwise you can borrow a roller or the like in the village, which is also possible and so you are very flexible and can enjoy the accommodation!

Wir haben unseren Aufenthalt geliebt! Es war sehr ruhig und schön bei Flor. Die Küche ist super ausgestattet, wir haben dort 5 Tage lang gekocht und hatten alles - sogar Tupperdosen um Essensreste kurzfristig zu lagern. Die Unterkunft ist sehr sauber und hat viel Platz. Flor ist eine tolle Gastgeberin, die schnell antwortet und immer hilft. Wir haben uns wie zuhause gefühlt. Ein Auto ist aus unserer Sicht sehr zu empfehlen, ansonsten kann man sich im Ort einen roller oder ähnliches leihen, das geht ebenfalls und so ist man sehr flexibel und kann die Unterkunft geniessen!

Amazing place. We had the best time at Marias house. It is beautiful, clean and Silent. We enjoyed it and would love to visit it again some day. Book Marias place if you go to Montezuma :)

Do not miss out on this place if you are in Montezuma! Beautiful home with a gorgeous view on a quiet street. Maria was a great, welcoming, flexible and polite host. Highly recommended!

A wonderful place, especially lovingly decorated, with a very nice host. We felt comfortable from the beginning and would have loved to stay longer.

Ein wunderbarer Ort, besonders liebevoll eingerichtet, mit einer sehr netten Gastgeberin. Wir haben uns von Anfang an wohl gefühlt und wären sehr gern länger geblieben.

We had a wonderful time in the beautiful house and garden. The only thing we didn't know is that the rooms are not locked but open at the top. It was ok for us, but you should communicate that. For the elderly, the bathroom could be problematic as the bathtub is lowered and you have to get in. To the village you walk 15 to 20 minutes down the mountain, for us it is better to take the bus (6 x daily) or a taxi, walking is only something for very sporty.

Wir hatten eine wunderbare Zeit im schönen Haus und Garten. Das einzige, was wir nicht wussten ist, dass die Räume nicht abgeschlossen, sondern oben geöffnet sind. Für uns war das o.k., aber das sollte man kommunizieren. Für ältere Menschen könnte das Badezimmer problematisch sein, da die Badewanne tiefer gelegt ist und man einsteigen muss. Zum Dorf läuft man 15 bis 20 Minuten den Berg runter, für uns unproblematisch, hoch sollte man besser den Bus (6 x täglich) oder ein Taxi nehmen, laufen ist nur etwas für sehr Sportliche.

Absolutely beautiful, clean handcrafted house and surroundings, the pictures can’t quite do it justice. Florencia was always very friendly, helpful, and proactive. Great communication and was happy to let me check in when I arrived a little bit earlier than expected. The location is great, very peaceful especially at night, allowing you to be immersed in the jungle sounds. Saw lots of animals, monkeys, iguanas, geckos, bats, agoutis, toucans, all just from the patio. It’s about a 15 minute steep walk uphill from Montezuma Beach but I didn’t mind walking it once or twice a day, it was great exercise and got a little easier each day. Ended up not renting a vehicle at all. I would happily come back here!

Beautiful big porch and toucans came to visit! Beautiful spot!

What a paradise! Great location in the middle of nature. Absolutely even more beautiful than the pictures! The house is a gem and above all very complete. Flor is a wonderful hostess. Don't hesitate to book this home, you won't regret it!

Wat een paradijs! Geweldige locatie midden in de natuur. Absoluut nog mooier dan de foto’s! Het huis is een pareltje en bovenal zeer compleet. Flor is een geweldige gastvrouw. Twijfel er niet aan om deze woning te boeken, je zult er geen spijt van krijgen!

Flor is an incredible host! Flor communicates extremely well, she did our laundry for us and took our trash frequently throughout the trip. She was extremely helpful and friendly. Extremely well cleaned. Grateful to have stumbled upon the Toucan Hill House! The house is beautifully made and the has a very mindful peaceful vibe. Hoping to be back in the future.

the most quiet and peaceful place ever. we really felt the connection with nature.  we saw all kinds of animals like tucan, monkeys , guatuzas and many others.

An amazing house in the middle of the jungle. Maria Florencia is a very likeable and helpful host. I'd love to come back.

Ein tolles Haus mitten im Dschungel. Maria Florencia ist eine sehr sympathische und hilfsbereite Gastgeberin. Gerne wieder.

Maria was a great host and the house was amazing. Relaxing and comfortable. She was very helpful with anything we needed to know and gave us contact to an awesome surf instructor! Highly recommend this place

What a wonderful experience and an amazing place to stay. It was so nice to meet you Flor! Hope we meet again one day.

Sensational! A place to relax, the house is very nice, clean and close to the beach. The service of Florence, incredible from our arrival to the departure, super friendly and very attentive! Recommended 100% when you can, we'll be back !

Sensacional! Un lugar para relajarse, la casa muy agradable, limpio y muy cerca de la playa. La atención de Florencia, increíble desde nuestra llegada hasta la salida, súper amistosa y muy atenta! Recomendado 100% cuando pueda regresaremos !

Beautiful place. Lovely accommodation. Great view.

We absolutely loved our stay and are already thinking about going back!! Flor was the most wonderful host, going above and beyond to make sure we were enjoying our stay - she seriously exceeded expectations! The house itself was perfect for us and our 19 month old, we felt instantly at home and I was able to work remotely with zero issues - the internet was super reliable and fast! The gardens provided great birdwatching opportunities and we loved the neighborhood, made some very good friends close by thanks to Flor 💕

Highly recommended accommodation for Montezuma. The house was very clean upon arrival and more spacious than expected (including a large balcony area and garden). The house is surrounded by nature so we were able to spot loads of wildlife. It is close to the road but that didn’t bother us. We walked up from town after a day trip - the road is very steep but manageable, but if you had luggage you would need a lift. Florencia is a welcoming and helpful host.

Altough a bit from the city center, the garden was lovely and the host did an amazing job in guiding us on how to take the bus etc. Perfect place, would stay again.

Toucan Hill house is absolutely amazing!  Absolutely spotless.  Beautiful property and surroundings.  Flo was the bomb!  Easy to reach and clear with instructions.  We will be back to enjoy this fantastic home again! Pura Vida!

Flori is a wonderful person with a pure spirit. The place is magnificent place and is located in a beautiful location of Montezuma. We absolutely loved our stay. You might read about the “steep climb” but the solution to that is easy. You can gat a local cab with contacts that Flori will provide for very cheap (eg $5). We did this while we were there and it worked out great (we are in our early 70’s). I highly recommend this place! Pura Vida

Flors beautiful cabin exceeded our expectations. The photos just don’t do it enough justice; the cabin is very spacious, beautifully looked after and it is surrounded by nature making it so very peaceful. Flor has been the most fantastic host making us feel at home not just in her home but in Montezuma and the surrounding areas. She offered so many helpful tips and places to visit and was always on hand and happy to help us. We are so grateful to Flor for letting us stay and we can’t recommend this location highly enough. If you are looking for scooter hire then we can recommend Pura Vida rentals. Good price and will drop off and pick up from your location. Very friendly and helpful service.

We loved the house. Lots of character. Another favorite in Costa Rica for the house ❤️

Nous avons adoré la maison. Beaucoup de cachet. Un autre coup de cœur au Costa Rica pour la maison ❤️

This place really is magical. We saw toucans, hummingbirds, birds of all kinds. We saw monkeys on the last morning, on the border of the property. Everything was modern and in good condition. Shower great. Kitchen great. Bedrooms great. There were lots of wooden windows that opened up for excellent ventilation. Wifi was solid, definitely good enough. It was a steep walk up hill from town, but hey when I travel I like to workout, so I was cool with it. I would DEFINITELY stay here again. The host, Florencia, was amazing and greeted us on our check-in, walked us through the house, showed us around. Its a 5-star cabin on a hill in Costa Rica. What more can you ask for?

We liked Florencia's house. We had a problem with the water but Florencia was able to find a solution to this problem. It is a house built into nature with many birds and animals. Thanks to her.

Nous avons aimé la maison de Florencia. Nous avions eu un souci avec l'eau mais Florencia a su trouver une solution à ce problème. C'est une maison intégrée dans la nature avec de nombreux oiseaux et animaux. Merci à elle.

Very charming house a few minutes drive from the small village of Montezuma! Big terrace very pleasant for eating or relaxing. Florencia is a great host, she hosted us very warmly and was good advice. I recommend 100% staying at Florencia's to discover this magnificent region.

Très charmante maison à quelques minutes en voiture de petit village de Montezuma ! Grande terrasse très agréable pour manger ou se reposer. Florencia est une super hôte, elle nous a très bien accueilli et a été de bons conseils. Je recommande à 100% de venir séjourner chez Florencia pour découvrir cette magnifique region.

The house is gorgeous! It is super nice, with an incredibly design. Very comfortable and fresh. The house is a couple of minutes away from Montezuma Downtown. Florencia was super nice. Absolutely recommended!!

Toucan Hill house is a beautiful home with a view of a lush garden. We were so delighted by the sights and sounds of all the birds and loved opening up all the doors and windows to let the breeze through, especially at night. There is some traffic noise, but it only seemed to be an issue at peak times. The road to town is very steep, so you’ll need a car or taxi. We had a wonderful stay and Florencia was kind and helpful!

Undoubtedly one of the best options in the area, the whole country? The whole page?

Sin duda una de las mejores opciones en la zona, el país entero? todo la página?

What a friendly, cheerful and helpful host. And a beautiful view -especially with the bird nest right outside the window. Birds came and went fixing up the nest in the cactus. Lots of birds and life around. Flo took our postcards to the next town (no mail boxes in Montezuma); she helped us solve our cash problems and significantly-  she looked up the bus schedule (which had just changed), helped us get to the bus stop (instead of having to go into town) and talked to the bus driver to make sure we got to the right stop. Above and beyond! I must agree with some others who found it hard to navigate the steep road to the place and the steep ramp to the bathroom. We managed to mostly avoid it by going around the house. We also got taxis (or rides) to and from town. She seemed open to a couple of our suggestions for improvement and hope that she can get screens for at least a few windows.

wonderful house with beautiful outdoor terrace and garden. very loving welcome from florencia, many thanks for everything, we would come back immediately.

wundervolles haus mit schöner aussenterrasse und garten. sehr liebevolles empfangen von florencia, vielen dank für alles, wir würden aofort wiederkommen.

WoW this is a beautiful contemporary rustic style cottage which is very well equipped and very comfortable. Florencia is a perfect host always available. There is no air conditioning but the concept is all open and with the fans is very nice. Thanks to Florencia.

WoW c’est un très beau chalet de style rustique contemporain qui est très bien équipé et très confortable. Florencia est une hôtesse parfaite toujours disponible. Il  n’y a pas d’air climatisé mais le concept tout ouvert et avec les ventilateurs est très agréable. Merci à Florencia.

Tucan Hill House is beautiful. The definition of intentional space. Flor has thought of everything and she is more than a host she is wonderful.  She knows and loves Montezuma, is kind, helpful and caring. I hope you're lucky enough to stay here. The house is in a perfect location a little away from the town of Montezuma, a good walk if you're fit and want a challenge and an easy ride. I rented an ATV with Flor's help and it was the best! Great for going to the beach and cafe's as well as going to Cobano which has bank machines and all the things you need.  I called Tucan Hill House home for a month and loved every minute. I felt safe with Flor (her house is in property as well- close but you have so much privacy it's perfect) and I felt at home. The pics are beautiful but still can't do it justice the deck really big, the beds are comfy, Flor is very eco concerned which was important to me. recycling, composting and little waste. I could go on forever.  I loved it here and am so grateful I got to experience Tucan Hill House grab it if you can!

A beautiful place a lot bigger than the photos show. A lovely porch to hang out on. Flor is right next door and available  when you need her. She also has some helpful advice for travelers of where to go things to do. The only drawback was the noise from the road.

This house is perfect for nature lovers. We stayed there with my husband and our twelve year old son. It was our second time staying at the Tucan House and it was again perfect. The house is close to town, only few minute drive down the road but it is really nice to be set back away from town to hear sounds of nature and feel the peace. The house is built beautifully with gorgeous wood and interesting artistic design touches everywhere. The front porch alone is stunning with tall ceiling and perfect for relaxation and eating our meals. The garden all around that Florencia created is a masterpiece with beautiful plants and an aloe garden which was perfect for the day we got too much sun. Overall if you need AC and scared to be without screen windows, this is not for you, but if you love nature and want to feel like you are in it. It is perfectly cool at night with fans. It’s a perfect place to enjoy the pura vida.

Florencia hosted us very well, advised and helped us during our stay. The wooden house is superb, thoughtful and sufficiently equipped. You will be surrounded by birds and awakened by howler monkeys. Recommended for a short trip to Montezuma, Cabuya or Cabo Blanco.

Florencia nous a très bien accueilli, conseillé et aidé durant notre séjour. La maison en bois est superbe, bien pensée et suffisamment équipée. Vous serez entourés d'oiseaux et réveillés par les singes hurleurs. À recommander pour un petit passage vers Montezuma, Cabuya ou Cabo Blanco.

We will come back here 1000 times. Florencia is one of the kindest and most attentive hosts we have ever encountered and the place is just heavenly. You have to see it for yourself!

Florencia is truly devoted to making sure her guests are taken care of in every respect! Excellent

We stayed for almost a month and had an amazing time! Flo is a very attentive and caring host. We do recommend renting an ATV or car as the house is up the hill (hence the name) from Montezuma proper. Also worth noting that the wifi is very much usable but is only about 5-10 Mbps. The house itself was fantastic and clean, the bathroom was great and the deck is big and beautiful. Always felt safe. Would highly recommend!

This has been the best place and the best host we've ever had, not only in Costa Rica,but from all the places we've ever traveled. The house is wonderful, even better than the photos, the unparalleled environment and Flor of those people you have in your heart forever. My husband and son had an accident in the Montezuma Falls and Flor helped us at all times, he was attentive to us every day, with details to make us feel supported. A great host and a great person.

Este ha sido el mejor alojamiento y el mejor anfitrión que hemos tenido, no sólo en Costa Rica,si no de todos los lugares por los que hemos viajado. La casa es maravillosa,mejor que en las fotos incluso, el entorno inigualable y Flor de esas personas que te llevas en el corazón para siempre.Mi marido y mi hijo tuvieron un accidente en las Cataratas de Montezuma y Flor nos ayudó en todo momento, estuvo pendiente de nosotros todos los días, con detalles para que nos sintiéramos arropados.Una gran anfitriona y una gran persona.

this house was amazing! much bigger than the pictures, decent location (not too bad of a walk to town, but walking back from town would be a little intense) the nature was incredible, we saw so much wildlife! everything was very spacious , and clean. my only "complaint" would be the ramp to the bathroom being very steep making it occasionally difficult to get in and out of the bathroom.

Florencia was the most loveliest host I have met. Super kind and always available for communication. The house is charming.

A cabin designed with  love and taste, perfect for a couple with a  child or  friend.  Amazing vegetation, around. Nice terrace to meet to talk , read or  play. Only  five minutes from  Montezuma Centro by  car. Florence is always attentive and resolving  any questions or  things. Thank you Flor and success for the  future

Una cabina diseñada con  amor y gusto, perfecto para pareja con un  niño u  amigo.  Vegetación increible, alrededor. Terraza linda para reunirse a hablar , leer o  jugar. A solo  cinco minutos de  Montezuma centro en  carro. Florencia siempre atenta y resolviendo  cualquiera duda o  cosa. Gracias Flor y éxito al  futuro

Florencia is super attentive, and her place is beautiful. She was very responsive and supported us in all the ways she could.

Florencia is so kind and accommodating. The location was perfect- close to town but still in your own secluded spot. Highly recommend staying at the Jungle House!

Can't express how much I enjoyed this stay. One of my favorite Airbnb in memory. The place is designed so beautifully and is surrounded by paradise. If you have strong legs you can even walk down hill into town. Most of all Florencia is the Perfect host. I was glad we got to talk a bit and get to know each other. She keeps the place immaculate, responds to any issues and messages immediately, and is a beautiful soul who loves creating a tranquil and well kept environment for travelers. thinking of moving in permanently ;) Thanks so much Flora

This is a magical place and Flor is an outstanding host! She made us feel so welcome and helped us out with many things. Toucan Hill House is beautifully designed, with every detail cared for. We enjoyed many lovely meals on the huge porch overlooking a gorgeous landscape including a variety of birds and a jasmine tree. Thank you Flor for a wonderful stay!

Such a great airbnb! Florencia is an amazing host; she gives incredible customer service & is always available when you need any help. The cottage itself is exactly as described; very close to town but far enough that it's super peaceful. We extended our stay and were sad to leave!

The house is a perfect place to get to know Montezuma and rest in the process. Very close to downtown, a beautiful and comfortable house. I highly recommend it.

La casa es un lugar perfecto para conocer Montezuma y descansar en el proceso. Muy cerca del centro del pueblo, una casa hermosa y cómoda. Lo recomiendo en gran manera.

Florencia went above and beyond to make sure we had an amazing time while staying in her home. The view of the open jungle was breaktaking and Florencia gave great recommendations for activities and places to eat. She was also very personable and catered all of our needs. I will definitely be recommending this place to anyone I know traveling to montezuma!

If you visit Montezuma and have a vehicle, stay at Toucan Hill House. It's convenient to road to town or if you head west. It doesn't get dusty like in the town and there's always a gentle breeze in this well ventilated home.  The first thing we saw was the spacious deck that surrounds you with lush nature even in the dry season and it's great for a sunrise view. We easily spent full days on the deck enjoying the tranquility, having meals, doing yoga or lounging and reading. The floor plan was bright, spacious and a fun space with an indoor hammock. The kitchen was great to cook in. There were no windows, just shutters and when we went during the dry season, there were not much bugs. We loved hearing the sounds of nature and of the house geckos at night which helps keep the house clean of bugs. The best part was Florencia's hospitality. We had full privacy at the home and when we had questions, she was flexible, quick to respond, and she even made time in-person to help schedule appointments for our travels.

Florencia went above and beyond for us! Our car battery died and we needed a jump and she called us a taxi so we wouldn’t miss our excursion to Isla Tortuga and she also had a neighbor jump the car once we were back. She also let us use her phone to call and schedule a covid test in Santa Ana which saved us quite a bit of money and hassle. We loved her peaceful and sentence place and will be recommending it to everyone we know traveling to Costa Rica! Pura Vida!!

I absolutely loved staying here.  The space is amazing, the back deck is like a private jungle oasis.  I saw Monkeys, tucsans, and iguanas.  I worked remotely for 4 days during my stay and the wifi was great and had no issues with connectioning to work.  It is definitely one of the nicer homes in Montezuma.   Florencia was a fantastic host and was super friendly and helpful.  She helped out with anything I needed to make my stay more enjoyable.  The private yard is quite large, and the home is about a 2 or 3 minute drive from town which turned out to be great after spending all day there.  I hope to return!

Toucan House is an amazing hidden gem! Like others have said, the pictures dont do it justice. It is a beautiful house and the cleanest AirBnB Ive ever stayed in. Florencia also went above and beyond to help us with several travel emergencies that came up. Ive stayed at other properties in Montezuma and the Toucan House is the best there is!

Hands down, one of the most beautiful places to stay at in all of Costa Rica.

Beautiful and quiet garden we loved the atypical house and we were able to enjoy the wild side of this charming place we were even able to hear the monkeys at night Exotic Everything was perfect.

Jardin magnifique et calme on a adoréle lieu la maison atypique et on a pu savourer le côté sauvage de ce lieu charmant on a même pu entendre les singes la nuit Dépaysant Tout était parfait

House with a very particular style, very nice and clean. The property with plenty of space and green areas.

Casa con un estilo muy particular muy linda y limpia. La propiedad con bastante espacio y con áreas verdes.

Very beautiful house, in a great location. Quiet surrounding, we saw a lot Kolibris and other animals. Still close to Montezuma and the beach.

We stayed for 3 nights in December 2020. It’s a very impressive place that appears to be built so well it’s fascinating. The setting is beautiful in that it’s on top of a hill in a jungle. Florencia was very welcoming and was very responsive over text. There is no a/c so windows were kept open. It does cool down at night..at times and especially during the day it can feel humid and sticky if you’re not used to it. Bugs were not an issue. We found it difficult to sleep at night because it’s close to a main road and vehicle (especially louder motor/dirt bikes) noise can be jarring. There is a fan to drown out the noise but found that in itself too loud to sleep with.

What a beautiful home on a *divine* property. The porch is such a beautiful spot to enjoy nature - we saw iguanas, monkeys, all kinds of birds and of course Flor's adorable dog. We truly enjoyed our time here. p.s. Flor thank you for being such a gracious host and wonderful human. We can't wait to visit you again!

I loved the place, as the other comments say, it is the same as the photos! The value for money is unbeatable, with only the fact that it has such a comfortable bathtub and that the place is almost no mosquitoes. In addition, Florence is too hospitable and takes care of any questions.

Me encanto el lugar, tal y como dicen los demás comentarios es igual a las fotos! La relación precio/calidad es inmejorable, con solo el hecho de tener tina tan cómoda y que el lugar casi no hay mosquitos es excelente. Además que Florencia es demasiado hospitalaria y atiende cualquier duda.

I’ve stayed in many Airbnb’s around the world and this is definitely one of my favorites. The setting is fantastic, surrounded by nature but close to town and the beaches of Montezuma. The house is so tastefully and thoughtfully put together with plenty of great areas to relax, particularly the back deck. The kitchen is modern and well stocked so cooking meals is a pleasure. There’s also hot water in the kitchen and bathroom. Florencia is a thoughtful, kind and welcoming host and is always nearby if there is an issue or you need anything. This is actually my second time staying at Toucan Hill House and it will always be my first choice whenever I’m in Montezuma.

Toucan Hill House is a loveley place! is located very beautiful and looks with a dreamlike garden. we really enjoyed the time there. florencia is a wonderful host and was always approachable and helpful. Since it is on a hill, a car or ATV is recommended to be able to reach the beach easily. we would have preferred to stay because it was so beautiful! Thanks Florencia

Beautiful place. Away from the busy town but close enough (if you have a car) to enjoy everything Montezuma has to offer. The house has everything you need, including a nice shower. There is a beautiful spacious private deck to hang out on. You can watch the birds, howlers, white faced monkeys and geckoes and bats at night. Flor is an experienced host and can read what her guests are looking for. I would highly recommend this place.

The house is amazing... in a small private paradise garden! Florencia is a perfect host! She leave in a small house in the property but in reality the big house was/is her personal home that she rent! Than ... take care please and enjoy. The light that enter in the bed room window early morning is look like magic. In the garden flight many birds, someone have his house in the trees near the balcony! There is also a squirrel that jump in the big tree in front of balcony and a shy big iguana leave under the house near the secondary house door! If you don’t scare it you can take some pictures . What else??? Enjoy, talk to your friends and come back ... I will do when I will come back.

Flor is very welcoming and kind. Her place is really beautiful and in a beautiful location. It was spotless upon arrival and we slept very well in the comfortable bed. The second night we forgot to use the mosquito netting on the bed and I got several bites but with the net, there is no problem. We had a little difficulty finding the house because we arrived in the dark. Would definitely recommend this place for a peaceful stay!

The house is exceptionally nice and very individually furnished. The huge terrace has a view of the jungle-like garden. The decor is well thought out and offers everything you need. The location above the place has the advantage that you are spared from the hustle and bustle there. However, access requires 4-wheel drive and good driving skills. Florencia is a very thoughtful and warm host, who was always on hand when you need her. A special highlight was it to be woken up in the morning by the howlermonkeys roar. Absolutely recommended!

Das Haus ist außergewöhnlich schön und sehr individuell eingerichtet. Von der riesengroßen Terrasse blickt man in einen dschungelähnlichen Garten. Die Einrichtung ist gut durchdacht und bietet alles, was man braucht. Die Lage oberhalb des Ortes hat den Vorteil, daß man vom dortigen Trubel verschont bleibt. Die Zufahrt erfordert allerdings Allradantrieb und gute Fahrkünste. Florencia ist eine sehr aufmerksame und herzliche Gastgeberin, die immer zur Stelle war, wenn man sie brauchte. Ein besonderes Highlight war es am Morgen vom Gebrüll der Howlermonkeys geweckt zu werden. Absolut empfehlenswert!

Florencia was very sweet and has a beautifully decorated house. The kitchen is very well-stocked and the front deck is absolutely wonderful for breakfast in the morning with all the birds dancing in the trees. The house was very clean and unique. We stayed for four nights. Unfortunately, we would not want to stay here again though. While Florencia is very kind, the house is located on such a steep hill that it made it very hard to come and go. We did not have a car so we had hoped to walk in and out of town. It’s just way too steep to do that though! We are avid hikers in good shape and we could not walk this hill. So we ended up paying for a lot of taxis. Eventually we rented an ATV but even that struggled to get up the steep hill, especially at the driveway that is shared with several other houses and is just loose gravel. I’m sure if you lived there and drove up and down every day it would become a bit easier with practice but since this is a dedicated AirBnB with people only staying a short time, I think it’s important to let other guests know how challenging it is. Also, while this AirBnB is so unique and pretty, it’s not nearly as private as we had expected based on the photos and description. There is a dense cluster of houses surrounding the house. Flo’s own house is no more than 50 feet from the bedroom window. One unnerving discovery we made after several days there is that the window in the bathroom that is right next to the tub is VERY visible to all the neighbors and there is no curtain. I’m quite confident that somebody very well may have seen us naked while showering and we didn’t even know it! The main road is also very close and there was a fair amount of noisy traffic coming and going at all times. One other confusing detail about the house worth noting is the two very steep wooden ramps - one going into the front door and one leading into the bathroom from the kitchen. I am guessing the ramps are to make the house wheelchair accessible. However, they are so steep that they are challenging to walk on. Also, since the bathtub and shower are sunken deep into the floor, I don’t think someone in a wheelchair could make use of them anyway. The ramps weren’t a deal breaker, but the one into the bathroom did get tiresome after four days of staying there, especially after I slid down it one evening. Hoping Flo puts in a hand rail or something there as I’ve suggested. Again, Flo was lovely and the house is beautiful. But it has a lot of quirks you should be aware of when booking.

It’s just amazing, if there is any available take it, you won’t regret it. Such a beautiful setting, Florencia has made this a dream holiday home. I stayed 5 days and apart from visiting the beach every day, just enjoyed being on the balcony watching the birds and animals. Everything you need is here, there is a small supermarket in town and cafes etc. Florencia is available with great local knowledge. I saw baby turtles 🐢 on the local beach and heard howler monkeys. Didn’t see any creepy crawlies either. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Flor’s place is gorgeous and so unique. Very close to the center of town- but having a car was very helpful because of the extreme hill to get to the house. Being so close to nature was a great change of pace after staying in hostels!

Exceptional hosting, warm and welcoming interactions throughout, and a delightfully beautiful space in a lovely area.  Florencia is thoughtful, sincere, and incredibly helpful.  We highly recommend her place for both exceptional hosting and an exceptional aesthetically pleasing space!

We have a wonderful stay at Florencia’s place! The place is very unique and makes you feel at home! Montezuma is a beautiful city! Would definitely recommend staying there to family and friends!

Flor was awesome, and the place was a dream! She was responsive throughout our stay, and her aloe farm came in clutch after we got burned a bit on our second day in Montezuma. The only negative is that the place is a bit of a walk up a steep hill, but it is definitely doable (we did it!) and there is a bus/taxi option if you want it. The advantage of the location is that it is quiet and beautiful, and it felt like its own little enclave in the forest. Pura Vida!

Incredible! I’ve stayed in a lot of Airbnb’s and Toucan Hill House is in my top 2 all time favorites. I absolutely LOVE this place. It has incredible views from the deck and, really, from every room in the house. It’s in the hills, surrounded by nature and it feels so peaceful to be there. The interior of the house is so well designed and decorated. There was so much thought put into everything. There’s no AC but the house is well ventilated and gets plenty of breeze, it never felt uncomfortable and I didn’t have any trouble sleeping at night. The internet worked well and there was hot, hot water in both the bathroom and the kitchen. The kitchen was well stocked with all you need to cook meals.The location of the house is just a short distance from the town and beach. If you’re in good shape, you can walk there in 15-20 minutes. It’s a very steep hill though so if you’re not in good physical condition, you’d better have a car or take a taxi. Also, if you do walk to town and you plan on returning after dark (6 pm) make sure you bring a flashlight because much of the road is without street lights and it’s pretty dark. Montezuma is an excellent place to visit - one of my favorites in Costa Rica - and Toucan Hill House is THE place to stay if you’re going there. I can’t wait to return and stay here again. Pura Vida!
