Lovely Jungle Sanctuary W/Ocean View - Condominiums for Rent in Baru, San José Province, Costa Rica

Beautiful place, with mountain views and a little bit of ocean views. The pool is impeccable. The place is very clean, tidy and comfortable. Close to the beaches, close to Nauyaca, close to Ecochontales.

Hermoso lugar, con vistas a la montaña y un poco al océano. La piscina impecable. El lugar muy limpio ordenado y cómodo. Cerca de las playas, cerca de Nauyaca, cerca de Ecochontales.

Joe saved the day!!! We got stuck behind a downed tree and needed somewhere last minute to sleep for the night. I messaged Joe, and several other hosts, inquiring about a place to stay for the night. Within 10 minutes from my message, I had the placed booked with the access code. The home has the basics and is minimal, and the view is GORGEOUS!!!! The view alone is worth the price. 10/10 recommend staying with Joe!! He’s so friendly, helpful, and extremely responsive.

It felt like being at home. Joe is an excellent person. The view is beautiful. The common areas are very well equipped. The pool has a very spectacular view.

Se sintió como estar en casa, joe es una excelente persona, la vista que hay es hermosa, las áreas comunes están muy bien equipadas, la piscina tiene una vista muy espectacular.

Thank you for having us back at your accommodation.  This is a very peaceful and quiet little corner.  Surrounded by nature and its hosts are absolutely attentive to meet any needs their guests have.

Gracias por recibirnos nuevamente en su hospedaje.  Este es un rincocito de mucha paz y tranquilidad.  Rodeado de naturaleza y sus anfitriones están absolutamente atentos para atender cualquier necesidad que sus huéspedes tengan.

Great accommodation, very well furnished, quiet and relaxing with magnificent views. The pool is great especially in the evening with the sunset. I would highly recommend it.

super logement , très bien aménagé , calme et reposant avec une vue magnifique. La piscine est super surtout le soir avec le coucher du soleil. Je recommande fortement

beautiful place with a magnificent view! nice and large swimming pool with enough space to relax and the rooms are also spacious and nice! pleasant host also who communicates well and nicely so recommended!

prachtig plekje met een schitterend uitzicht! fijn en groot zwembad met voldoende ruimte om te relaxen en de kamers zijn ook ruim en fijn! prettige host ook die goed en fijn communiceert dus aanrader!

Great views! Excellent social areas. The room and kitchen have all the basics. It's a bit further from Dominical than we expected, the last kilometer of uphill gravel road slows you down a bit. It still is a nice drive. it was a very good stay. Would come back definitely.

This is the second time we've visited the villas and we hope to return. The villa is very clean, with everything you need. It's very well equipped. The area is heavenly, I recommend it to get out of the routine and stress of the city. We were able to see toucans, mountain pigs, iguanas and pizotes, my daughters were delighted. The pool is very clean, you can tell that the villas and the pool are very well maintained. Joe is an excellent host, very friendly and responds quickly. They have an excellent internet connection, I was able to work remotely without any problems. I hope to be back soon

Segunda vez que visitamos las villas y esperamos volver. La villa muy limpia, con todo lo que necesitas. Está muy bien equipada. La zona es paradisiaca, lo recomiendo para salir de la rutina y del estrés de la ciudad. Pudimos ver tucanes, chanchos de monte, iguanas y pizotes, mis hijas quedaron encantadas. La piscina muy limpia, se nota que le dan excelente mantenimiento a las villas y a la piscina. Joe es un excelente anfitrión, muy amable y responde rápido. Tienen excelente conexión a internet, pude trabajar sin problema remotamente. Espero volver pronto

In excellent private accommodation, very quiet and with incredible views towards the sea, the area is perfect to rest totally away from the main road, Joe and Yony are very friendly and quickly answer messages, it is worth staying in this place everything is as indicated in the descriptions and is close to the main attractions of the area, I personally hope to return very soon as it is an incredible place

En excelente alojamiento privado , muy tranquilo y con vistas increíbles hacia el mar, la zona es perfecta para descansar alejada totalmente de la carretera principal, Joe y Yony son muy amables y contestan rápidamente los mensajes, vale la pena hospedarse en este lugar todo es como lo indican en las descripciones y está cerca de los principales atractivos de la zona, personalmente espero volver muy pronto ya que es un lugar increíble

Like all other reviews mentioned.. the view is breathtaking 🍃 lots of nature and great for birdwatching. We really enjoyed the pool area!  The villa itself was comfortable, and had the basics, it is not luxurious but it is just as described. We were not dissappointed, and Joe was an extremely responsive and helpful host. Thank you! We had a fun time at the place, close to waterfalls and beaches but far enough to feel secluded!

Nice private place to stay with a beautiful view. The accommodation is spacious and clean. Joe is a very friendly host and helps you with anything. I would definitely recommend this accommodation!

What a beautiful place to enjoy the sunset and nature. We loved coming back here every evening for a dip in the pool and for stunning sunsets after a day exploring the area. The apartment had everything we needed and we were even able to cook a couple dinners on the bbq. Can’t recommend this place enough.

Joe is a great host. The facilities are very clean and with a lot of order, both the villa and the swimming pool area. Joe responds quickly and provides all the information needed. I went in summer and could be accessed in sedan. We will definitely be back again, we are delighted.

Joe es un excelente anfitrión. Las instalaciones son muy limpias y con mucho orden, tanto la villa como el área de piscina. Joe responde rápido y brinda toda la información que se necesita. Fui en verano y se podía accesar en sedan. Sin duda volveremos, quedamos encantados.

great place to stay Joe and Leslie are always very friendly. I recommend it 100%

excelente lugar para hospedarse. Joe y Leslie siempre pendientes t muy amigables. Lo recomiendo 100%

We loved the place… Joe since we booked was super friendly and helpful. The place is not very large, but although comfortable and clean. 4x4 car occupies yes or yes. The pool is perfect and we spend a lot of time there… we will definitely be back… even with family that each rides their own apartment ❤️ thank you!!!

El lugar nos encantó… Joe desde que reservamos fue súper amable y servicial. El lugar no es muy grande, pero si bien acomodado y limpio. Se ocupa carro 4x4 si o si. La piscina es perfecta y pasamos mucho tiempo ahí… definitivamente volveremos… incluso en familia que cada uno rente su propio apartamento ❤️ gracias!!!

It was our second time in Joes appartment. Joe is really helpfull with every need and easy to contact. We especially love the spacious pool and the beautiful view from the pool and terrace. We spoted lots of birds every morning and evening. Absolutely recommended place 😊

Absolutely beautiful location at the top of a mountain with partial ocean view. However, it’s 15-20 minutes outside of town up a very rough and steep dirt road. Unit is clean and as described with basic amenities. Host was very friendly and responsive.

We LOVED our stay with Joe.  It's a beautiful and private location with amazing sunset views from both the apartment patio and the pool area.  The apartment is simple but has all you need. Joe is also a wonderful host - he proactively checked in and was super responsive whenever we asked for tips and recommendations. We ended up extending our stay from 2 to 5 nights as we enjoyed our time there so much.  The pair of toucans that visited the tree out front every morning was a nice touch!  :)

Amazing view, pool, and host! Really looking forward to staying here again

The place was incredible, it's too quiet and beautiful. The cabin is definitely highly recommended to be. The only thing would be the way to get there, a 4x4 car is recommended to be able to go with peace of mind. But the place. 10/10.

El lugar estuvo increíble, es demasiado tranquilo y hermoso. La cabaña sin dudas súper recomendada para estar. Lo único sería el camino para llegar, se recomienda un carro 4x4 para poder ir con tranquilidad. Pero el lugar 10/10

sehr gut erreichbar und sehr schöne Aussicht

Joe is a great host. Friendly and attentive at all times. The pool area is extremely nice. Everything was clean and clean.

Joe es un excelente anfitrión. Amable y pendiente en todo momento. El área de piscina es sumamente agradable. Todo se encontraba limpio y ordenado.

Breathe taking scenery! I recommend everyone to experience Joe’s beautiful Villa. Joe was extremely nice and great communicator. 10⭐️’s.

I went for the weekend with my kids we loved it, you can breathe peace, the mountain views are mind-blowing and just 15 minutes away you can surf and visit amazing rivers, definitely worth it.

Fui por el fin de semana con mis hijos nos encantó, se respira paz, las vistas a la montaña son alucinantes y a solo 15 min puedes surfear y visitar ríos increíbles, definitivamente vale la pena.

Great location at an incredible good deal that included a pool, laundry, air conditioning, appliances including juicer in our unit and more. Nice views and close to the beach.

myself and my travel companion loved our stay! I mean LOVED it. we felt as though we had our private yoga retreat on the mountains. yoga on the private patio while condors flew over us and we watched hummingbirds in the flowers. Having a pool was a great way to cook down and meet the other guests. Our stay was clean and comfortable. Yes, you need a car to stay here! It's hard to stay off the beaten path without transportation. but it was worth it. Thank you for such a magical stay.

Amazing experience, one of the best stays ever in the area. The place was unique, clean and peaceful. Joe super responsive and the view is breathtaking, 10 out of 10.

We had an excellent time at Joe's place, it meets the description! The community is a place of peace and rest, very close to Nauyaca Falls. The restaurant recommendations were accurate and delicious. We appreciate all the hospitality provided, we definitely recommend visiting Cascada Azul!

La pasamos excelente en el alojamiento de Joe, cumple con la descripción brindada! La comunidad en la que se encuentra es un lugar de paz y descanso, muy cerca de las Cataratas Nauyaca. Las recomendaciones de Restaurantes fueron acertadas y deliciosas. Agradecemos toda la hospitalidad brindada, definitivamente recomendamos visiten Cascada Azul!

I really liked the place, the service is amazing

Me gusto mucho el alojamiento, la atención es increíble

It’s a very nice place. The view from the terrace is really beautiful. It’s the same view you have when swimming in the pool. We really enjoyed it. We‘ve been their with our two toddlers and it worked out great for us, thanks to Joes flexibility in preparing a xxl bed for us 😊 Thank you so much!

DO IT!!! Book this place! So glad we stayed here. We were looking for the perfect spot. We wanted privacy, a view, a pool, and a close proximity to town. This place had it all. Joe was super helpful with our late checkin. He was attentive and wanted to make sure we felt at home. Will definitely stay here again. :)

This is a wonderful property! The views are amazing! Joe is great! Don’t miss the opportunity to stay. We will be back!!!

The place with Joe and Leslie was very pleasant. They are both very attentive. The place is very quiet, very peaceful. It has incredible views with beautiful sunsets. Everything was clean and tidy, Joe was always attentive to what we needed. Great host. We spent New Year's with them and it was great. We will definitely be back.
