The Southern Zone of Costa Rica is known for its laid back vibe and three of the most magical towns in Costa Rica: Dominical Uvita and Ojochal. Rainforests, legendary surf spots, long stretches of beaches, an abundance of rich terrain and a laid-back atmosphere define this area. It’s a rare place on earth. While development has picked up recent years due to improved roadways and access to the area, the development and conservation regulations ensure this area will never become a noisy resort town with overbearing skyscrapers. Along the Costa Ballena lie Dominical, Uvita, and Ojochal. These three Southern Zone coastal towns are off the radar hot spots. Dominical is a legendary surf spot. Uvita is a commercial center. Ojochal is a small village in the jungle and the foodie capital of Costa Rica/ Deep blue waters meet the towering mountains and green jungles forming a breathtaking landscape that is raw, pure and clean. This is a place for adventurers and those seeking a more laid-back lifestyle. Area excursions include whale and dolphin tours, zip lining and canopy tours, snorkeling, deep sea fishing, hiking, Nauyaca Falls, world-famous beaches, surfing, wildlife tours, river rafting, sea kayaking, paddle boarding, bird watching, golf, horseback riding, festivals, and more. The area also offers various yoga classes, retreats, and spas. Our friend Karol at Pacific Expeditions can make all reservations for you. Dominical Dominical attracts surfers from around the world each year to its legendary waves. The waters here are not for swimming and the waves are legendary. Making the trek to Dominical is a surfer’s pilgrimage. This haven beyond its legendary surf is an attractive laid-back village with a few restaurants and shops. Surrounded by estuaries, mangroves, and marshes, the area has an abundance of wildlife. It’s now home to an estimated 700 residents. The pristine environment and warm culture draw surfers and eco-tourists. With lots of yoga and various types of holistic health practitioners mixing with the local culture harmoniously, it is a beacon for wellness. Vegan, raw food, and juicing are common here. Those seeking to live a more sustainable lifestyle flock here. In Dominical, there is time to reflect and just be. Ojochal Ojochal is a popular landing spot for expats from North America and Europe. It has grown into a culinary hot spot too. This coastal town is just 30-minutes south of Dominical. With hotels, restaurants, bars, doctors’ offices and a supermarket, it is a low-key Costa Rica town complete with the conveniences of modern life making it an ideal place to visit. With ATV tours, canopy tours, bird watching and mangroves to explore, there is no shortage of adventures and activities. For surfing, there is Playa Ballena and Playa Uvita nearby. Uvita Nestled in between Dominical and Ojochal along the Costa Ballena is magical Uvita. This town has a large supermarket and is probably the most developed area of the three places. Scuba diving, horseback riding, canopy tours and wildlife tours are all nearby. Uvita has grown famous for the hosting the annual music festival, the Envision Festival, which celebrates art, culture, yoga and sustainability each year in February. People flock to this small town in Costa Rica each year for the festival, which draws large crowds. The magic and charm of these three towns lie in the quiet sustainable development, which protects the pristine ecosystems while also providing a level of comfort. The culture is laid back, health conscious and committed to well-being. There are few places left in the world that can match what the Southern Zone offers as a quiet refuge from the modern world for adventure, fun, and restoration.

Casa Cora Snuggled in the tropical rainforest - Houses for Rent in Ojochal, Provincia de Puntarenas, Costa Rica

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).

La casa súper acogedora, un espacio para desconectarse y relajarse, la vista del baño es espectacular. No estaba tan cerca de la playa como quisiéramos pero aún muy accesible (20 min en carro).

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.

Muy difícil entrada y salida de vehículos, no es amigable para vehículos doble tracción en ningún sentido, el portón cierra solo saliendo en una curva cerrada. La verdad no me agradó el asunto

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).

Súper recomendado, con todas las comodidades, como estar como en casa, esperamos volver pronto Nos resolvieron muy rápido los inconvenientes que tuvimos (cabe destacar que fueron inconvenientes personales)

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.

Casa Cora in Ojochal was a wonderful stay. The home felt like a peaceful jungle sanctuary, surrounded by wildlife like monkeys and birds and wonderful amenities. The pool was refreshing, the kitchen made cooking easy and the shared spaces were perfect for relaxing as a group while the bedrooms offered nice privacy. It was also really great to have a/c in the bedrooms! The home was close to restaurants, stores, hikes and the ocean. It is in somewhat of a neighborhood, so expect a little road traffic noise. Nothing obnoxious, just the occasional car or side by side going by. The hosts were very responsive and great to communicate with. Any issues or concerns, they immediately got back to us and made sure everything was satisfactory. Would stay here again!

We liked the house very much, it is clean, modern, elegant style,  and very comfortable.  We liked the most the group of monkeys in the back yard, facing the jungle,  they have a lovely and active presence. We loved very much the little waterfall, accessible with a short but  a bit slippery  downhill hike. The water is refreshing , fantastic, and has little pools to  sit in , under the waterfall.  The only downside is the occasional noise from the street, sometimes already  early morning, trucks, motorcycles rumbling by. Some days are better then others. The funny thing is that the monkeys are roaring back at them every time. Otherwise the rhythmic music  of the frogs, and crickets are penetrating the air.

What a wonderfully secluded home in the vibrant town of Ojochal. Close to amenities, this property provided several big surprises we didn't expect, from howler monkeys quietly sunbathing in the late morning next to our deck, to the beauty of a private waterfall trail (note: it can be tricky in spots). 

The bedrooms are spacious; ideal for a family and the pool was a daily retreat. We loved the boogie boards and beach chairs available to take out for the day! The kitchen made home cooked meals a breeze, great layout for cooking and visiting. Appliances were all in good working condition.

The real test came when things didn't go as planned... we had trouble getting hot water the first day. We texted our hosts, it was literally a minute to reply AND they offered to send someone over to fix it immediately.  Our hosts were fantastic about answering questions and always seemed to be available for us. Even allowing a slightly early check-in. Amazing experience overall.

Very nice house, excellent location, surrounded by lots of nature. A very nice room with very nice details. Unfortunately, we have some problems: - Single beds with a musty smell. - Strong smell of gas in the laundry room (they changed the cylinder because it seemed to be finished but the smell continued, we had to manually close the gas key because it did not seem dangerous). - Electric gate with operating problems. (They offered us the repair but when we were walking on the beach they called us that they needed the keys, so we had to return, in this case, you should have spare keys, because we lost almost two hours of our walk). - The grill ran out of gas in the middle of a barbecue. (This is difficult to control, but it was another point that affected us). - We reported the bad blender and they offered to change it for the next day but they didn't. Details that make a difference.

Muy bonita casa, excelente ubicación, rodeada de mucha naturaleza. Una muy linda habitación con detalles muy bonitos. Lamentablemente, presentamos unos inconvenientes: - Camas individuales con olor a humedad. - Fuerte olor a gas en el cuarto de pilas (cambiaron el cilindro por que en apariencia se acabó pero el olor continuó, tuvimos que cerrar manualmente la llave del gas pues no parecía peligroso). - Portón eléctrico con problemas de funcionamiento. (Nos ofrecieron la reparación pero cuando estábamos de paseo por la playa nos llamaron que necesitaban las llaves, por lo que nos tuvimos que devolver, en este caso, debería de tener llaves de repuesto, pues perdimos casi dos horas de nuestro paseo). - Se acabó el gas de la parrilla, en media parrillada. (esto es difícil de controlar, pero fue un punto más que nos afectó). - Reportamos la licuadora mala y nos ofrecieron cambio para el día siguiente pero no lo hicieron. Detalles que marcan la diferencia.

Thank you for your review and for highlighting Casa Cora’s beautiful location. We’re sorry certain issues impacted your stay. Each concern has been fully addressed. After your report regarding a smell of gas, a licensed technician thoroughly inspected the gas system. No leaks were found and all of the gas connections were confirmed to be safe. We’re not sure what the smell was that caused you concern, but the house is safe! The electric gate has been serviced and is operating properly. A new blender was ordered during your stay and has been delivered to the house. We’ve also refreshed the bedding and reviewed housekeeping procedures to ensure everything meets the highest standards of comfort and freshness. We appreciate your feedback as it helps us continuously improve. We are committed to providing a smooth, relaxing experience for every guest. We hope we have the opportunity to host you again in the future. We’ll try to have monkeys visit for an extended stay :)

great house, great communication,  stunning nature. What more could you ask for? ❤️

tolles Haus, super Kommunikation,  atemberaubende Natur. Was will man mehr? ❤️

Casa Cora is a very private and quiet place, surrounded by vegetation, a river in its courtyard, constant view of animals and immersed in an atmosphere of peace and nature. The house offers the ideal conditions for the stay, well equipped and with all the comforts for a good stay. It is located in a privileged area like Ojochal, we will definitely return to Casa Cora

Casa Cora es una lugar muy privado y tranquilo, rodeado de vegetación, un río en su patio, vista constante de animales e inmerso en un ambiente de paz y naturaleza. La casa ofrece las condiciones ideales para la estadía, bien equipada y con todas las comodidades para un buen hospedaje. Se ubica en una zona privilegiada como Ojochal, definitivamente volveremos a Casa Cora

It's a lovely place. The house is very beautiful and has everything you need for a nice stay. Restaurants and services nearby. Thank you

Es un lugar precioso. La casa muy bella y con todo lo que necesitas para una estancia bonita. Restaurantes y servicios cerca. Gracias

We spent a total of 19 days in this great place. We immediately felt at home. The property and garden are in good and well-maintained condition. The beds were comfortable, the bathrooms really great. The communication was excellent, our concerns/questions were answered immediately and a small complaint was resolved immediately. The property is located in the middle of the jungle, so you can expect animals in the garden. We were able to observe monkeys, iguanas, toucans and frogs. From time to time howler monkeys woke us 😅 up. There are many good restaurants and sodas around Ojochal. A car is absolutely necessary due to the location. The water pressure is sometimes a little weak. If you take a shower, you should therefore not run the washing machine and the dishwasher at the same time😄. It didn't bother us and we really enjoyed our stay. We have rarely had such a great Airbnb and would definitely come back. Thank you for an unforgettable time!

Wir haben insgesamt 19 Tage in dieser tollen Unterkunft verbracht.Wir haben uns sofort wie zu Hause gefühlt.Das Objekt und der Garten sind in gutem und gepflegten Zustand. Die Betten waren bequem,die Badezimmer richtig toll.Die Kommunikation verlief hervorragend,auf unsere Anliegen/Fragen wurde gleich geantwortet und eine kleine Reklamation sofort behoben.Das Objekt liegt mitten im Dschungel,daher darf man mit Tiere im Garten rechnen.Wir konnten Affen, Leguane, Tukane und Frösche beobachten. Ab und zu haben uns Brüllaffen geweckt 😅 Es gibt viele gute Restaurants und Sodas rund um Ojochal.Ein Auto ist aufgrund der Lage zwingend erforderlich. Der Wasserdruck ist manchmal etwas schwach.Wenn man duscht sollte man daher nicht zusätzlich noch die Waschmaschine und die Spülmaschine laufen lassen 😄.Uns hat es nicht gestört und wir haben unseren Aufenthalt sehr genossen.Wir hatten bisher selten so ein tolles Airbnb und würden definitiv wiederkommen. Vielen Dank für eine unvergessliche Zeit!

We had a lovely time at Casa Cora. It's a beautiful property with an open space to the outside that we enjoyed very much.  There are lots of amenities, beautiful rooms with comfortable mattresses.  We also had excellent service from the owners.

Nous avons passé un très bon moment à la Casa cora. C'est une belle propriété avec un espace ouvert sur l'extérieur que nous avons  beaucoup apprécié.  Il y a beaucoup d'équipements, de  belles chambres avec des matelas confortables.  Nous avons aussi eu un excellent service des propriétaires.

We had a great day, it was a lovely house well done and the service was great. We would look forward to staying there again.

Amazing experience!!  Connor and Trinity were great in communication since day one . Place is beautiful, location amazing and near of few most beautiful beaches in Costa Rica. I will definitely be back here in few months !! Thank you!!!

The location was amazing (very peaceful, private, inside nature, can visit nearby cities/villages and lots of waterfalls and beaches to go to), host was extremely responsive (thank you!), overall had a really amazing trip staying here.

The apartment is located in a quiet and beautiful area in Ojochal, so quiet and natural that we were even able to welcome toucans to us. The apartment itself lacks nothing, the kitchen is perfectly equipped and all electronic devices are state-of-the-art. You can even work with the internet connection. In the vicinity, there is everything your heart desires, whether shopping or restaurants. If you have any questions or suggestions, you can simply write to the hosts, the communication is excellent. Due to the rainfall, a feeder was washed away. We were immediately informed of the situation, a solution was found and we were kept informed. We can highly recommend the apartment and host and would come back any time. Thanks!

Die Wohnung liegt in einer ruhigen und wunderschönen Gegend in Ojochal, so ruhig und natürlich, dass wir selbst Tukane bei uns begrüßen konnten. In der Wohnung selbst mangelt es an nichts, die Küche ist perfekt ausgestattet und alle elektronischen Geräte auf dem neusten Stand der Technik. Mit der Internetverbindung lässt sich sogar arbeiten. Im Umkreis gibt es alles was das Herz begehrt, ob Einkaufsmöglichkeiten oder Restaurant. Bei Fragen oder Anregungen, könnt ihr einfach den Gastgebern schreiben, die Kommunikation ist hervorragend. Auf Grund der Regenfälle kam es dazu, dass ein Zubringer weggespült wurde. Über den Umstand wurden wir sofort informiert, eine Lösung gefunden und uns auf dem Laufenden gehalten. Wir können die Wohnung samt Gastgeber wärmstens empfehlen und würden jederzeit wiederkommen. Danke!

We had a great stay Recommend to anyone coming to the area to choose this listing It was perfect for our family. The hosts were very nice Help us with everything we asked for And they even offered us a late check out since there were no guests right after us The space is very cozy , homey, very cozy and has everything you need Also, going down to the private creek is an amazing addition Access to the property is also very convenient and pleasant (only recommended to drive according to Waze ) Thanks a lot!

היתה לנו שהייה מעולה ממליצה לכל אחד שמגיע לאזור לבחור בנכס הזה זה היה מושלם למשפחה שלנו. המארחים היו מאוד נחמדים עזרו לנו בכל דבר שביקשנו ואפילו הציעו לנו צ׳ק אאוט מאוחר כיוון שלא היו אורחים מייד אחרינו הנכס מאוד נעים , בייתי, מעוצב מאוד נעים ויש את כל מה שצריך כמו כן, הירידה לנחל הפרטי היא תוספת מדהימה גם הגישה לנכס מאוד נוחה ונעימה (רק מומלץ לנסוע רק לפי Waze ) תודה רבה!

An excellent experience, the nature, the place and friendly people willing to make everything much simpler and more bearable before, during and after the stay, super recommended the spot!

Una excelente experiencia, la naturaleza, el lugar y personas amables dispuestas a hacer todo mucho más sencillo y llevadero antes, durante y después de la estadía, súper recomendado el spot!

Lisa’s place was incredible! The whole experience from once we booked to leaving was extremely stress free! We could contact the host at any time with questions and recommendations. The house was really beautiful - the interior and exterior were even better than the photos. It was the perfect place for our family holiday - both the children and adults all wanted to stay longer! The nearby beach and waterfalls were beautiful too. We can not recommend this place enough. We would definitely love to come back!

We loved our stay in this home. Even during the rainy season, we were able to enjoy afternoon showers sitting in the open concept living room, and staying dry only inches away from the pool. The house was well equipped with beach related items like beach towels and boogie boards. Lots of card games as well. Kitchen appliances were also well stocked.

Great property and house. Host was helpful with any questions asked

Everything was just perfect! We loved it!

This was a gorgeous serene property nestled in the jungle but with aspects that allowed you to stay cool in the jungle heat. There was so much to do in the area of you have a vehicle. We were provided with many recommendations of local spaces and some days chose to stay in and relax in the space. Would highly recommend this for anyone looking to unwind & unplug in the heat of Costa Rica. ❤️

The house is in a beautiful setting, with abundant wildlife. However, Cynthia was rude to my friends and me during the check-in process and made a big deal out of the fact that we were arriving at three separate times, as she insisted on greeting each of us, although we could have easily checked ourselves in if she had simply given us the exact location with the door code. The house also has several maintenance-related issues, including: 1. Dishwasher does not clean dishes and tips over 2. Front door lock gets stuck 3. Water temperature in one of the showers alternates dramatically between hot and cold 4. The washer does not get clothes clean In addition, the listing was misleading because there is not central air conditioning. There is only A/C in the bedrooms, and the kitchen and living room get very hot. The wifi only works well in the living room, so this means no wifi is available in an air conditioned area. There are also not blackout curtains on all windows in two bedrooms.

Hello Jamie. We are sorry to read your negative review of Casa Cora. We truly love the home and make every effort for our guests to equally love it during their stay. Personally checking guests into the home is a service we provide to our all our guests. Homes in Costa Rica do not have simple street addresses, and sometimes finding the house and getting settled in for the first time can be challenging. Cynthia makes extraordinary efforts to meet with guests and get them oriented. It is a service the vast majority appreciate. Typically, the check-in process would occur with the registered guest who reserved the home. In your case, my understanding is there were three waves of guests coming in at different times, with you, being the registered guest, arriving last. Multiple waves of arrivals meant multiple trips to the home for Cynthia, which can be frustrating. I’m sorry if you felt she was “rude during the check-in process”. I can tell you previous guests have expressed extreme appreciation for her efforts with the check-in as well as her responsiveness to questions during their stay. We are very thankful to have Cynthia and Karol as our property managers. The home has been solidly booked with guests during 2024, and previously we had not received feedback on the maintenance issues you’ve listed. So thank you for mentioning these. We will inspect and have them addressed immediately. We hope you and your group enjoyed the Envision Festival. Pura Vida. Tom & Lisa

Can't say enough great things about this place!! The hosts were informative and prepared on recommendations for restaurants & activities. The house was pristine and incredibly well equipped with soaps, detergent, towels, cooking utensils, etc. The house was amazingly decorated and homey (homie?) Its clear the owners spared no expense in equipping everything a guest could need. The home was tastefully decorated and the cleaning staff were very thorough. We spent lots of time playing in the creek behind the house, swimming in the pool, and relaxing on the back patio. Tons of monkeys and toucans would visit us every day. Ojochal is quiet and peaceful with many friendly neighbors. Walkable to Taugua, a local organic coffee shop. Lots of rivers around to play in, too. Cannot wait to stay here again we miss it already!

Perfect spot nestled in the jungle with tranquil surroundings. Loved watching the monkeys and tucans in the mornings. House was beautiful with everything you’d need for a comfortable and enjoyable stay. Hosts were very responsive and helpful to book our chef and spa day. They had so many recommendations for food, activities etc. Access to private beach was amazing. Playa Ballena is breathtaking!!  Though there are many beautiful beaches all around to explore. Restaurants in the area are outstanding. Close enough to Uvita for other amenities. We were a group of 5 adults and had a wonderful time. Would highly recommend and happily return!

We absolutely loved our stay in Ojochal! Beautiful home, equipped with everything you might need. We had tucans and monkeys visiting our back yard almost daily! The community in the area is amazing, great cafes and restaurants close by. Can’t recommend this home enough! Looking forward to our next stay!

From the first day to the last, my family and I enjoyed this clean and conveniently located home. The design of the home, including the location of the master bedroom, was perfect for keeping an eye on the kids in the pool. After the kids passed out, the sounds of the jungle and the mid sized stream behind the home gently lulled us into a much needed state of tranquility. The stream has a small waterfall and pool that we enjoyed horsing around in and was my favorite part of the trip. The proximity of the home to Playa Ventanas was a great addition to what was a vey memorable stay. Thank you for sharing your home.

Had an absolute wonderful stay; would definitely book again. VERY CLEAN!! Stayed with our family of 4 (2 teens who shared small room) and brother and wife who had separate master suite with separate entrance which was perfect for all! Definitely had enough space for 6 of us with the outdoor space. Pool was a bit chilly, but after a hot day some of us enjoyed. Kitchen had everything we needed. Beach towels,  chairs and boogey boards were appreciated for the beach days. Wonderful beaches very close (10-15min)  and one of the beaches felt very private as recommended by the hosts. Farmers Market was nice and small but had everything we wanted for fresh food; would recommend. Grocery stores short drive  away for the rest of the necessities. Great restaurants very short drive away (10 min). Highly recommend to book if looking for a place in southern region. People very friendly, several expats in region and not filled with tourists. Pura Vida!

Lisa and Karol were amazing hosts at our stay at Casa Cora. Lisa communicated everything that we needed to know before we went to determine if the house was appropriate for our family of 5. Karol met us down the road to lead us to the house - which would have been tricky to find at night. She gave us lots of ideas of how to get around and things to do. They both went above and beyond anything we could have expected. There was even a beautiful beach that we were given access to. Hardly anyone was there - it was like our own beautiful, private beach 5 minutes down the road. The house itself is lovely - so peaceful and charming. It is set up for outdoor living - such a beautiful patio and pool. Sliding glass doors open from the main living space and both bedrooms all facing the pool. Bedrooms are well oriented, pretty and comfortable. The bathrooms are beautiful. We all had privacy when we wanted it but the central spaces were perfect for being together.

Great place! Very removed, but close enough to everything one would want and need to get to with a vehicle. Cynthia is a great host! Great recommendations for restaurants and local attractions. Very responsive. Helpful with setting up tours. 4x4 is helpful, but not necessary.

Beautiful place with easy access to everything. House is designed with a good taste and is very comfortable and spotlessly clean. Special thanks for the quality of the mattresses. Creek access is a big plus, we loved walking down to it and taking dips in its refreshing water. Karol, the co-host is very responsive and helped us book an activity on a very short notice. The only minus is the construction noise from the house across, it wasn't too offensive, but still took a bit away from the overall experience. I would go back to this place again. Thank you for the experince!

The place is beautiful, Bahía Ballena is spectacular, but the creek next to the property, with pools and waterfalls take the house to another level

El lugar es hermoso, Bahía Ballena es espectacular, pero la quebrada al lado de la propiedad, con pozas y cataratas llevan la casa a otro nivel

Es hat uns sehr gut gefallen! Dankeschön.

We loved this place! We're a family of four with a toddler and an infant and thought it matched the other reviews in terms of being super comfortable, beautiful, and well appointed. The only negative is nearby construction and while the construction itself wasn't audible, there was significant noise pollution of dump trucks going up and down the road starting just after 6am and continuing through the end of the day. Obviously there's nothing to do about it, and is a sign of a booming area but worth noting.

Loved it! Just what we expected from the listing. Beautiful, comfortable, exceedingly clean, with many thoughtful touches. Everything we needed and more. Unforgettable outdoor living spaces in the jungle - we saw frogs, toucans, a golden owl, and butterflies from the patio and pool and heard howler monkeys each day too. The gated entry made coming and going a breeze. Visited new beach every day, several amazing places to visit less than an hour away. This house is perfect for a family or group of friends - bedrooms and bathrooms are as described and furnishings are high quality and extremely comfortable. The kitchen is well stocked and the outdoor dining area by the pool was our favorite feature of the house. Cynthia was fantastic and made sure our stay was 100% enjoyable. She recommended amazing local restaurants and tours! Her extensive local knowledge made all the difference in our stay. If you’re considering this house, book it! We’re glad we did and would stay here again!

Can’t say enough great things about our time here. We had another Airbnb that fell through because of a power problem and Cynthia rescued us so quickly, accepting our reservation and meeting us and taking us to the airbnb. The house is lovely and everything looked like the pictures and was as described. We loved feeling like we were tucked into the jungle hearing all of the birds and wildlife every morning was delightful. We all loved the pool and the several different sitting areas. There is a trail down to a little river that we loved to visit as well. Although there were houses somewhat close to us it felt very private. The home was well equipped and we found everything we needed to make our stay wonderful! We even ended up extending our time there because we loved it so much! Cynthia had great recommendations and was able to set up tours as well. She knows the area and tour companies so well. She even brought over 4 new boogie boards and gave access to a private beach!
