Ocean View Immersed In Rainforest Near Manuel A Pk - Villas for Rent in Savegre, Provincia de Puntarenas, Costa Rica

The house was so peaceful and relaxing. We loved the pool and scenery. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen had everything we needed. This was a place to remember and we would definitely return! We saw monkeys, parrots, Toucans and a Coati on property. We loved it! Tim also gave us wonderful recommendations to local beaches and sites and we loved all of them. Thank you!

A wonderful home, private with amazing views and still close to Manuel Antonio,  Dominical, and Uvita. We were met by the house manager which was a great touch. You will need a 4x4 as the driveway is steep but it’s worth it. This was the perfect home for a family of 4 with little kiddos. Lots of games. We played together every night! Great pool and a pool table we used during the rain with little hammocks that were perfect to see wildlife. Saw coatis, toucans, and macaws while hanging outside by the pool! Cold AC, great WiFi, and a fully stocked kitchen. Comfy sleeping arrangements and I’d say the outdoor shower was the best! And the hosts were responsive and so helpful with local recommendations. Would stay here again in a heartbeat!

This place is great, a unique location where we experienced Costa Rica at its best! We would like to go back!!! Tim and Etna were super responsive and really friendly.

Cet endroit est formidable, un lieu unique où nous avons vécu le Costa Rica à son meilleur ! Nous aimerions y retourner !!! Tim et Etna étaient hyper réactifs et on été vraiment avenants.

Thank you sp much Chantale,  we look forward to hosting you again soon! Pura Vida.

This was probably the coolest house we have ever stayed in during all our years of travel.  I'm not going to lie, half way through our first trip up the driveway, I started to wonder what I had gotten myself into.  It is very long and steep in parts (as they mention in the description), but I promise it is well worth it.  The house was cozy and clean but it was the backyard and the views that sold it for me.  It was absolutely incredible.  We saw more wildlife just sitting by the pool than we did our entire trip, including visits to national parks.  We had so much fun, we didn't even do all the activities we planned. We were content to just be up relaxing in the peace and quiet and watching the monkeys play in the trees.  I could not recommend this place enough!

Thank you so much Tori! we are so happy you loved the house and Costa Rica. Please come and visit us again soon. PuraVida from all at #Villa.Matapalo

What an amazing stay. We didn't want to leave! The hosts were responsive and kind. The house was clean and very pleasing. The kitchen was very well stocked with pots and utensils, which we've struggled with at other stays. No need to leave to see huge amounts of wildlife! It's right at the front door. Overall, the house was comfortable, welcoming and made our trip unforgettable. We hope to return!

Amazing views, tropical birds everywhere and great pool.  This is a bird lovers paradise with numerous toucans flying around.  The wildlife and views are out of this world.  Challenging driveway but worth it.

Beautiful place. We were very satisfied. What a view... Highly recommended!!!!

Wunderschöne Unterkunft.Wir waren sehr zufrieden.Was für ein Ausblick...Sehr zu empfehlen!!!!

Such beautiful surroundings and the views were amazing!! House looked exactly like the photos posted. Amanda and Tim were very responsive whenever needed. Definitely recommend staying here.

We had a wonderful stay. The house was incredible. The two cooking areas  inside and and outside grill) were awesome. We spent most of our time on the outside deck which by the way had a bathroom and two showers. The pool and views were amazing. There was more wildlife (birds, mammals, amphibians and reptiles) than what we saw in Manual Antonio. I was just what the doctor ordered! Next time we’ll go back and stay longer than the 16 days we did this time.

Thank you so much for choosing our home. We are delighted to know that you loved Costa Rica. Pura Vida and best wishes on all of your future adventures.

We couldn't have loved the house more. What a gem! Hosts were extremely communicative with lots of tips and great recommendations prior to the trip and throughout our stay. The photos just don't do justice to the view and surroundings. The house was lovely and we felt right at home during our stay. We only wish we could have stayed longer. Highly recommend staying here!

The outdoor space is so peaceful and beautiful.  We saw monkeys, coati, and all sorts of colorful birds.  The home was in great condition and Tim was a responsive host.  We had an amazing time and would love to come back again!

Gorgeous setting and loved the house. It was the best part of our trip to just relax and enjoy the view and the pool.

Cons: beds, couch, stools all furniture was very uncomfortable. We stay in Costa Rica for almost a month annually and we stay in airbnbs. This house was full of ants and flies (yes much more than the average Costa Rican amount) b/c there are no seals on doors or windows. We gave up the master bedroom/king size bed for the other bedroom w a smaller bed because the master bedroom has so much sun at 6:30/7 am it’s impossible to sleep past that time due to lack of shades/curtains on upper windows. No shades on kitchen/living room windows made us feel exposed at night. Pros: Tim was very responsive and sent someone to fix the water when we had no cold water almost immediately. The view of the ocean is amazing! The pool was a little cold but still refreshing. Air conditioning throughout the house is always a plus! Tim and his team let us check in early and we really appreciated that. Provided extra garbage bags in the kitchen - thank you! Overall great stay and would recommend!

Sarah, Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry not everything was to your liking. We wish you had given this feedback during your stay rather than after check out, we could have potentially addressed some of the issues. No other guests have complained about furniture, in fact it is all new. The house is mostly glass to avail of the beautiful views. It has total privacy & is not overlooked by other homes. As you mentioned we do not have curtains on the top transom windows. We will consider covers for this part. Flys and ants are sometimes an issue in the jungle, we leave raid under the sink. Anything more than the usual amount could've been quickly remedied by a call to maintainence. We are glad glad to hear you had an overall great stay and wish you well on all your future adventures. Pura Vida. Tim.

Tim’s house was as described - it was clean (minus the ant problem) and well-stocked, with a beautiful view of the ocean. Unfortunately, we did not get the “total privacy” described in the listing, due to loud construction at the two houses on either side of his place. This construction happened every day, starting at 6:45a-7a and lasting until 5pm or later. We let the hosts know as soon as we realized it was an ongoing issue, and they admitted they knew construction was happening but they thought it would be finished by then. We asked for a modest refund to account for the fact that we were unable to enjoy the outdoor space due to the construction noise, and they refused - claiming there was no construction noise (even though they said they were not local). We offered to provide them the video/audio proof but they refused to listen. I’ve never had an issue with an airbnb host before, so it was unfortunate Tim was unwilling to listen to a guest’s valid concerns and resolve the issue.

As Kara mentioned, she requested a refund from us. However, what Kara neglected to include in her review was that, following our decision not to issue a refund, she escalated the matter to Airbnb's resolution process for an independent assessment. Airbnb conducted a thorough investigation and ultimately concurred with our position, determining that Kara's claim was invalid. Subsequent to Airbnb's decision, Kara posted the review in question, which is retaliatory and repeats some of the same claims that were deemed invalid by airbnb. It's worth noting that Kara did communicate with us early in her stay, and we made efforts to accommodate her concerns, including suspending maintenance activities for the duration of her visit. Regrettably, we were unable to mitigate her dissatisfaction with the natural sounds of the environment, specifically the noise from cicadas. After her initial communication, we did not hear from Kara until check-out. Kara's private feedback to us was positive: "The house was lovely, the view was amazing, and the weather was great." However, upon departure, she raised numerous issues in what appeared to be an attempt to bolster her refund request. At our property, guest satisfaction is of paramount importance. We consistently strive to address our guests' concerns to the best of our ability within the framework of our policies and commitments. Unfortunately, it appears that Kara did not approach this situation with the same level of good faith that we extended to her. We remain committed to providing exceptional experiences for all our guests and regret any dissatisfaction experienced by Kara during her stay.

This was our second time staying at Tim’s place. It is truly magical. From the GORGEOUS views and wildlife to the pristine beaches and laid back vibe of southern Costa Rica we love staying here. It is a beautiful house with gorgeous sunrises and sunsets. We made sure to be back each night to the house to watch the birds fly around and the sun set and then the bats put on a show. In the morning hours we hiked the 1 mile driveway to see monkeys, toucans, and the coati among so many other beautiful creatures. If you love, wildlife, beautiful views, and refreshing dips in a pool, book this house. It is also close to many waterfalls and beaches. I highly recommend this house. We also booked an experience through air bnb with Randy and Isaac for a forest hike and lunch by a waterfall. The waterfall is located in a beautiful part of the mountains and they take you to a remote location owned by a local family. We pretty much had the waterfall to ourselves. It was an incredible day.

Amazing place! A perfectly private place to enjoy Costa Rica! Fully equipped kitchen with icemaker, various appliances, blender etc. A great large shaded viewing deck, equipped with a very nice BBQ. Pool is partially shaded which was amazing. From the home we saw white face monkeys, Scarlett macaws, toucans. Great beach “Playa Linda” directly below the home (10 min drive) Drive right to your shaded palm tree and tie up your hammock ! Miles of beach to walk. *We had a great stay, high recommend and would stay again. 2 adults/2 kids 5/7yrs old.

This place is beautiful, private, and serene. Home was clean and comfortable. Pool is well kept, and the outdoor deck was our favorite spot for morning coffee/ bird watching. The hosts were EXTREMELY helpful with recommendations for restaurants, beaches, and tourist activities. The road to the house is no joke, however. We had a midsize SUV and wished we would have gotten a full size. Our rental made it up just fine but was a slow go. In fact, many roads/ drive-ways are like this in this region of Costa Rica. Splurge for a decent vehicle! Now to the best part about this house! The sloths, coatis, toucans, frogs...!!! My girls were in heaven. Such an amazing way to experience Costa Rica in it's natural beauty!

Our family of four spent 7 dreamy days at this Costa Rican sanctuary. The panoramic views are incomparable and this home takes full advantage of that with the floor to ceiling windows. I could go on and on, but let me get to the point as to the pros and (very few) cons. Pros: communicative host and property manager, check-in was a breeze and the host provided lots of helpful info before we even arrived. The thoughtful welcome gift was a lovely touch. Close proximity to sandy beaches was awesome, yoga deck was so cool, toucans & various wildlife every morning, clean linens, comfy beds, A/C in main area and all bedrooms, reliable Internet, washer/dryer, well-stocked kitchen, dependable hot water for showers. Cons: it's a steep drive (absolutely need 4x4) but no big deal, many little insects and geckos in house (that's jungle life), not a lot of good food options nearby (we drove at least 20-30 mins daily to Dominical or Quepos). All that said, we had a blast! Would return in a heartbeat.

Beautiful house, the terrace is incredible! We arrived at 10pm so nobody was waiting for us, however Tim was always available and sent us very clear instructions on how to arrive, hence we didn’t run into any issues. Throughout the whole stay Tim helped with all of our questions, would definitely recommend this listing! I would strongly advise to use a 4x4.

We loved our stay at your cozy jungle place! Perfect for a group of friends/Couple. Loved the attention and the great customer service his whole team provided us with. Would 100% come back to Tim’s place.

We only saw beautiful places on our Costa Rica trip. This one was the most beautiful Thank you for letting us spend these beautiful days there. What a view, what nature. (Monkeys. Nose bear. Tucane. and much more right on the terrace.

Wir sahen nur wunderschöne Orte auf unserer Costa Rica Reise. Dieser war der Schönste. Danke, dass wir diese schönen Tage dort verbringen durften. Welch‘ ein Ausblick, welche Natur. (Affen. Nasenbär. Tucane. und vieles mehr direkt auf der Terrasse.

the view is amazing! the layout of the house is great! the rice cooker as a last minute request was a great bonus! greatly appreciated!

This place is paradise. It is your own private nature preserve. While swimming in the gorgeous pool we saw the sloth hanging out in the tree. The toucans and parrots gave a show every evening. We saw poison dart frogs and heard the howler moneys every morning. The grounds have tropical fruits and gorgeous flowers and trees. The pool is unbelievable! It was the best part of our vacation. The house itself is GORGEOUS! The house is 5-10 minutes to a beautiful beach Playa Linda. There is a great restaurant at the end of the driveway. It is close to Manuel Antonio national park which is a great day trip. Close to Dominical and several waterfalls. This house is a great homebase. Splurge on the good 4X4. It is at the top of a beautiful mountain. It’s really what makes this house so special and private. Tim and Josue were very helpful with recommendations and help during our stay.

Thank you so much Pamela, please come back again soon! Pura Vida. Tim & Ethna.

I cannot say enough positive things about our stay. The pictures do not fully encompass the absolute beauty of this home. The view is spectacular. The best part of our days in Costa Rica involved having our coffee in the morning watching the abundance of birds flock to the trees right next to the deck and then ending our day with a glass of wine and watching the sunset. We saw toucans, parrots, parakeets, white nosed coati as well as howler and spider monkeys from the house. There are numerous beaches and activities all a short car ride from the home. There’s an excellent restaurant at the bottom of the hill that we ate at a few nights. Tim is a wonderful host. He gave us so many ideas of fun things to do as a family. Do not hesitate to book this property!

MAGICAL! We spent almost a week at this wonderfully peaceful place, surrounded by parrots, toucans and other wildlife—not to mention the unmatched ocean views… A perfect place to languish in between adventures. Tim’s recommendations were excellent and Josue was so responsive and attentive. Truly wish we could have stayed longer. Based on a previous review I packed my binoculars at the last minute and was so glad I did! Excellent suggestion! And if anyone is apprehensive about the 4x4 only access, don’t be—if these TX flatlanders can handle it, anyone can. It’s a just a little steep in a few places but not scary! Thank you so much for the use of this lovely unforgettable home!!

Amazing! My advice to you is bring groceries with you because you are not going to want to leave. Matter of fact we changed plans and just spent a day watching birds and playing in the pool. There is plenty to do near by - waterfalls, beaches within minutes, Dominical and it’s restaurants, too. Finally, this place was the cleanest Airbnb I’ve ever been in and how that is done in the jungle is magic.

Hi Nathan, thank you so much for your review.. We are headed down to costa rica tomorrow and we'll make sure that the dishwasher is attended to. I like your suggestion of binoculars and I think that we can absolutely do that. Tim

We loved Tim’s place. He communicated with me for eating and activity recommendations, which were spot on. The view is spectacular, but 4X4 is necessary to reach it.   We enjoyed the beach that is below the house Playa Matapalo, very quiet. Thank you we hope to return.

Place is amazing. Was super clean and spotless. The view is breath taking away. I will be back. The coolest thing was they had a guest book to write in.

Tim’s place is amazing. The views are breathtaking and the house was clean, comfortable and well equipped to have a great stay. We will definitely come back some time!

Thank you so much for your kind words. We hope to see you again very soon.

We loved spending our honeymoon here! It was private, the view was breath taking, and it was the perfect space to be inside and outside. The host had amazing recommendations for local activities and was available to answer any questions as needed. The property manager went above and beyond to make sure we got to the Airbnb safely and could find our way up the road. Amazing wildlife right outside your doorstep. The kitchen was fully stocked and the linens were extremely clean and smelled fresh. It was easy to get to Dominical (a cute little surf town) and Manuel Antonio National Park (do a guided tour!!). You can’t go wrong staying here- just do it and have a great trip!

Beautiful jungle house, perfect, central location and stunning views. This was the perfect way to end our trip to Costa Rica. It is hard to capture in words the magic of Tim’s place and it surroundings. It is totally immersed in nature with no neighbours we could see. We found it to be very peaceful and restorative. Toucans and mini creatures visited daily. We even had a sloth in the driveway tree. We could spend hours lounging on the deck, or in the pool, taking in the gorgeous ocean, in jungle views, and watching all of the bird an animal activity. The nightly sun sets off the deck glass of wine in hand are to die for. The house itself is modern, well equipped, very clean, and every room posts spectacular views. The beds and linens were very comfortable and clean. Our only complaint is that we could not have stayed longer! If you stay here, you will not be disappointed! It is heavenly, and we cannot wait to come back.

Thank you for your kind word, Holly. We are glad you enjoyed your stay and the "many creatures. " :) Please come back again soon! Tim.

Great value and un touched surroundings of a very natural setting.  Wildlife was very entertaining. Ranchero was fantastic  for sunsets. Great place to stay.  We love that beach,  very private

The pictures are stunning and still don’t do it justice! Tim’s home was the perfect peaceful space for our stay in Matapalo. You definitely need a 4x4 to arrive at the house as stated.  There’s a delicious seafood restaurant located right before you make your way up (we ate there twice!).  We loved how close we were to so many beaches, and to Uvita/Dominical, 30-40 minute drive to Manuel Antonio… we always made sure to arrive back before 5pm to catch the beautiful sunset views from the infinity pool.  Tim and his house manager were always available with suggestions and checking in with us with anything we’d need/want … It was definitely hard to leave.
