Exceptional home in an ideal location, away from the noise and dust in Santa Teresa yet close enough for easy access to beaches and restaurants. The host, Ruth, lives next door and was super helpful. The house was very well equipped, the pool was large and clean, and we loved the authentic community feel in Mal Pais. The Mal Pais beaches are not the best but it's a short drive to Playa Carmen and Playa Hermosa, which are both incredible. Montezuma is also only 30 mins away and is a wonderful day trip. Highly recommend!

Loved the home and the area! There were 5 of us including two teens and everyone had a great time.

The property was great - hidden away on a hill with beautiful greenery around it and fun wildlife. Ruth was a tremendous help with planning outings and getting to know the area. I highly recommend Casa de Noni and the Mal Pais area for anyone looking for an off-the-beaten-path vacation!

Lovely house! Close to beach, but very private.

We loved our stay! It was perfect for our family, 5 adults and 3 children. The house - beautiful. The pool - amazing for kids! The “house concierge”, Ruth - so kind and helpful! The town is pretty sleepy. Staying close to the house, you get a small local town, and secluded BEAUTIFUL (but not that swimmable) beaches. There are other beaches within driving distance that are better for swimming. We did a day ATV ride to Montezuma, explored different beaches for surfing. If you like being a bit secluded from the hustle and bustle of this region, I can’t recommend the house enough!

Great house and pool in an awesome location!

This house was a great place for our family of five plus two grandparents. It is very spacious. There are two kitchens, and they are both plenty big for making meals. The pool was awesome. The host was responsive and the local representative was helpful and kind. The house was clean, the water was clean, and hot water got plenary hot. The location is super convenient, only a 3 minute walk to the mal pais restaurants, but was still private and relatively quiet.

Beautiful Costa Rican property for large family

The house is as listed and beautiful! The property manager Ruth is very attentive and has great suggestions for places to go & eat. The loft is not air-conditioned, something to note if using for sleeping quarters. The air-conditioned bedrooms are fantastic. The verandas are amazing! Nighttime swimming in pool for the teens and cocktails on verandas for the adults was a perfect way to end the days. Highly recommend staying here. We were a group of 9.

Great Family Vacation Rental

We had a fantastic time at Casa De Noni. The house was perfect for 2 families of 4 with young kids (4-9), it was clean, well furnished, and Ruth was very responsive to all our requests and needs. The pool was great for kids, with afternoon shade, and evening lights that would keep them swimming for days on end. The house had great outdoor living space, a well furnished kitchen and A/C cooled bedrooms. The monkey deck was a hit for the kids to watch the troops of Monkeys pass by. The location of the house was perfect. Off the beaten path but still within walking distance to restaurants and beaches. Overall a wonderful family trip to Costa Rica at Casa de Nino!

Paradise Found

Thank you so much for allowing us to stay at your gorgeous home! It was even more beautiful than the pictures, and seemed much larger too! Ruth was AMAZING! She helped us with everything we needed, from ordering pizza delivery one night to giving therapeutic massages by the pool. Both of my friends said it was one of the best massages they've ever had and she definitely knew what she was doing! Although we only stayed 3 days, we didn't get to see any monkeys near the house despite getting up at the crack of dawn. We heard them though! I guess during the wet season they don't come around as reliably due to the increased food availability elsewhere. That was OK though because we were able to visit other nearby towns, explore during the day, see tons of wildlife, then return to our incredibly comfortable beds at night. The A/C in the bedrooms is absolutely necessary and we definitely appreciated that feature! Thank you again, for hosting us. If ever we return to Malpais, we would love to stay here again!!

Beautiful Home

Our family of one couple, 3 adults and a teen really enjoyed our stay in this jungle setting! Mal Pais is a small, quiet community close to Santa Teresa (about a ten minute drive). There are a couple good restaurants and a coffee shop just around the corner from the house. We also made daily trips to Santa Teresa where there were more shops, restaurants and beaches to explore. Ruth was very helpful in scheduling a fishing trip, massages and a visit to the Montezuma waterfalls, as well as recommending beaches and restaurants. She and her husband were so kind to do a thorough search of the house for an item we thought we had left but found later in our luggage. The house was cleaned every few days, making it very pleasant to come home to after a day at the beach. The bedrooms have great air conditioning and comfy beds. The loft was a roomy space with two nice beds but it was a little too warm for our kids. The living areas and pool were great! We were glad we had a four wheel drive vehicle to drive up a hill before getting to the house. We never walked to the beach since it wasn’t a straight shot there from the house. However, there is a “secret beach” in Mal Pais about a 5 minute drive from the house that is beautiful! I highly recommend this property!

Week in Paradise

Just returned home from our first trip to Costa Rica and week long stay at Casa de Noni. It lived up to every previous review and beyond! We were a family of 8, six adults and two kids, 4 & 2 years old. The house itself when we arrived was spotless and were welcomed by the most amazing host, Ruth. The AC in the rooms works amazing and will keep the most warm blooded bodies cool. We loved waking up and opening the house up to the jungle each morning listening to the jungle sounds sipping Costa Rican coffee. The kids spent enormous amounts of time in the pool which provided the perfect opportunity to cool down after a long adventure in the jungle. Some of us also enjoyed the outdoor shower adjacent to the pool that fully closes to provide complete privacy in the most unbelievable outdoor setting. From the back patio we saw iguanas, monkeys, and many different birds. As some of the other reviews pointed out, the railings on the upstairs patio do provide a bit of a fall hazard for the toddlers so that was something we had to keep in mind. The bugs are definitely a thing to when you’re literally living in the jungle, but a few itches and having to redirect some crawlers here and there is nothing to complain about. The house is less than I five minute walk to the most picturesque beaches I’ve seen. The town of Mal Pais is quiet but just a short drive away is a more bustling Santa Teresa for those in the family were looking for shops and beachside bars/restaurants. There are a couple of great restaurants 2 minutes walk from the house where we were able to find options for the most picky of pallets. Ruth was amazing and organized all our travel to and from San Jose, delivery and rentals of a 4x4 rental car (must in this area) and 2 ATVs, and was available to do much more whenever we needed. We spent most of our days exploring the local area on our ATVs and poked our heads into most of the area beaches on both sides of the peninsula. Couldn’t recommend this property more, 10/10! Already planning our next trip back to the most amazing country.

Beautiful quiet place close to lots of gems

My husband and I and 8 of our friends stayed at Casa de Noni for a week and it was so amazing. Mal Pais is such a nice and quiet little spot outside of bustling Santa Teresa. The house was perfect for a large group of us who did stuff both altogether and in smaller groups. Honestly I could have stayed at the house the entire time and been perfectly content. It has everything you need and Ruth is super responsive and helpful! Would return in a heartbeat.

Referencia de casa

La casa en sí es muy linda, sin embargo hay detalles que se deben de mejorar en la descripción: la casa cuenta con 3 habitaciones full y una habitación sin aire acondicionado que solo tiene ventiladores (esta habitación es un mezannine y es absurdamente caliente). Dentro de la casa solo hay 2 baños completos por piso y uno que está fuera de la casa por la piscina pero estaba super sucio y al aire libre (nadie lo usó). Hay perros de los vecinos que llegan hacer necesidades por la piscina y la limpieza le toca a los inquilinos hacerla. Las 2 parrillas nos las entregaron super sucias.

Breathtaking upon arrival. Stunning landscape, beautiful architectural layout and very comfortable

I picked this property on a whim without doing much research on location because I was so impressed by the photos. The rest of the plans fell into place after that, and it couldn’t have turned out to be a better vacation. My husband, myself and our 4 kids (15, 13, 10 and 9) had the most amazing experience and thoroughly enjoyed an adventurous, relaxing and fun vacation. The property was the best part of it all. It was the perfect retreat after a long morning of adventure. The kids could come back to swim and have lunch before heading down to the beach to swim some more. Ruth, our concierge (and one of the nicest people I have ever met), took care of making arrangements and booking our day trips. She arranged for us to have ATV’s for the week, zip lining/canopy tour, waterfall hikes and delicious restaurant recommendations. Best of all, I didn’t realized a massage was included. I got the most amazing poolside massage from Ruth, probably one of the best I have ever had! If this is your first trip to Costa Rica, this is the perfect house. You will be well taken care of and have the privacy and independence that you would not get at a resort. It is the perfect distance to downtown town and surrounding adventures. Thank you Ruth and Naomi for the wonderful accommodations!

Nice House but ...

The house is lovely but if you are looking for a 1st world experience, this is not your place. The power goes out almost everyday and I did not see that posted in previous reviews. The first evening that it went out and we were thrown in total darkness, I would have expected that Ruth would have come over or contacted us to let us know what was going on and what to do, but we were left to walking around with flashlights. Sometimes it went out in the morning when you are making your coffee, sometimes at night when it is 90 degrees and then you have no AC. The roads are terrible and we live on dirt roads in the States. They were so dusty that you could not rent 4 wheelers unless you had full respirators. It was nice to sit on the deck in the morning and watch the monkeys come through. There are cute, free range dogs that visit regularly and we did learn their names and enjoyed their company. The pool is nice, the kitchens are well stocked, and the beds comfortable. The biggest drawback was the poor infrastructure in power and roads.
