Whale Tail

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.

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!

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!!!!

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.

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!
