We had a great stay at this solid jungle property. The location is absolutely fantastic, surrounded by beautiful flora and fauna, and being so close to the waterfalls was a huge highlight that completely made up for any minor quirks. A couple of things to note for future guests: there is a lack of comfortable gathering space for a family of five to sit down and eat together. Additionally, the street noise can be a little loud in the main bedroom, and the house does hold some moisture, especially inside the single bedroom. Overall, it’s a wonderful spot if you want to be close to nature and the falls!

Beautiful home with a great layout, cute pool, and gorgeous walk to the waterfall and creek below. Easy access and no need for a 4x4. Just up the road from the town center. Connor was super responsive. We’d be happy to stay again!

We had an excellent stay and would highly recommend this property to anyone visiting the area. The house is beautifully designed with luxurious furnishings and is located in a very safe and peaceful neighborhood. The kitchen was exceptionally well equipped and had virtually every utensil and appliance you could possibly need, making it feel like a home away from home. While it is a bit outside the main tourist areas, everything is easily accessible by car. A SUV is not necessary, but we found it to be a convenient option. During our stay, there were a few power outages caused by severe thunderstorms, which are common during this time of year. Throughout it all, the host was extremely communicative, providing regular updates and doing everything possible to make the situation as comfortable as possible for guests. Overall, this was a fantastic experience, and we would happily stay here again!

The house is super cozy, a place to unwind and relax; the view from the bathroom is spectacular. It wasn't as close to the beach as we would have liked, but it was still very accessible (20 minutes by car).

Very difficult for vehicles to enter and exit; it is not suitable for four-wheel-drive vehicles in any way; the gate closes on its own when exiting on a sharp turn. Honestly, I didn't like the whole thing.

Stunning house in Ojochal. Beautifully designed, extremely comfortable, backing on to lush forest and a small river valley. My family absolutely loved it.

Highly recommended, with all the amenities, it's like being at home, we hope to return soon. They resolved the issues we had very quickly (it should be noted that they were personal issues).

This place was awesome exactly what we need after tracking from la fortuna to the beaches down here! The pool was great to relax and everything we needed was in the kitchen. The use of washer/ dryer before heading back to SJO left us fresh! Love the place and one the best BnB so far!! We will be back!

The house is beautiful and very well-stocked! The neighborhood was close to a grocery store, restaurants and activities but secluded enough to feel like we were in the middle of nowhere. The owner was very responsive to questions. I would definitely stay here again.
