Pool, stunning ocean view, quiet, stairway to beach, ECO house

Since dec 2014 we work with a solar grid system for electricity. Hot water comes from a solar heater. Come and enjoy !

This lovely property is located on the cliffs above Playa Cedros. The large 22000 m2 lot ensures our guests complete privacy while not being isolated from other homes in the area. There are two homes on the property, ideal for friends and families with older children. The main house is a large studio with 1 queen bed, bathroom and kitchen. Living and dining areas are outside. It offers a fully equipped kitchen and outdoor grill.
The second house is about 30 feet from the main house. It has a bedroom upstairs with a queen bed. The sink, toilet and rustic outdoor shower are on the first floor. Both houses back a wildlife corridor. Monkeys, iguanas, and agouti abound… There are many native fruit trees for our guests to enjoy. Ocean breezes keep the homes comfortable. 4X4 recommended.
Cabo Blanco National Park and the little town of Cabuya are just 4 km to the South - Cabuya is a great base for hiking, swimming, snorkeling, kayaking, beach combing, wildlife watching and everything nature lovers are looking for. Montezuma is 3 km North and offers many restaurants and shops. You are minutes from one of the best beaches in our area. Playa Cedros is known for its' long surf break. Rio Cedros is a short distance away with a fresh water lagoon and waterfalls up river.

Joachim is a great host. Very organized and attentive. The view is stunning, and the wildlife is off the charts! We saw howler monkeys and white faced monkeys right next to the house. We also saw some critters on the ground next to the porch, and agouti, and one I can't remember the name of. All manner of birds, probably 30 different species.

Paradise in the jungle

Joaquim was a great host…very quick responses and provided excellent advice. The highlight was the privacy and immense beauty of the property. Wilderness abounds and comforts of the home and patio were ideal.Coast Rican wildlife had their home in the surrounding trees and ravines. Howler and white faced monkeys, birds of all types, coati, agouti, raccoons and other friends could be seen each day. The ocean and jungle views from the patio and pool area were magical. I got up at 5:30am everyday and watched sunrise while soaking in the pool and drinking coffee…it was heavenly.For timid drivers the road in is small and the driveway is quite steep; but each are easy to navigate. Natural breezes cools the home in the evenings and it can be quite hot over night. Take this as a positive in terms of enjoying the natural setting or a negative if air conditioning is your thing!The staircase to the beach is a great walk; and coming back up you are greeted by the refreshing pool at the top of the stairs. Montezuma is cute town with all the services you need and is a short 4 km drive. Cabuya is smaller but equal distance to the west. Near Montezuma try Soda Tipeca Las Palermas…great food and good prices!We truly loved our stay and have memories for life emerging from this portion of our Cosat Rica adventure.

Morning coffee with the monkeys

This is our 3rd trip to Costa Rica and our first time in Montezuma. This has been our favorite location and favorite place to stay. The setting is incredible! The pool was perfect for quick dips whenever we felt hot and offered amazing star gazing while floating on our backs. We woke up to the howlers then watched them in the trees off the deck while we had our coffee, and again in the evening as they came home. Lots of other birds, butterflies, and wildlife to see. Very much appreciated the binoculars because we forgot ours at home. Joachim is very responsive and allows for privacy. We hope to be back next year!

Montezuma Mountain Top

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this property. It's beautiful, quiet and very natural. The house had a nice layout that worked well for us - lots of outside time and space. We loved the pool overlooking the ocean. And, we had lots of animal neighbors stopping by - iguanas, monkeys, agoutis and the occasional coatimundi! We loved it.

Highly recommend!

My wife and I absolutely loved staying at Joachim’s property. You are surrounded by amazing wildlife, including monkeys, while also having a perfect panoramic view of the ocean. We loved exploring the nearby villages but were also content just relaxing at this amazing property. Joachim was very kind and helpful, as well as very responsive to all messages. We will be back!!

Wonderful hillside retreat, shared only with the wildlife

A simple open space to enjoy the tranquility of the surroundings. We shared the hilltop with many white-faced and howler monkeys, iguana, a family of pizotes - Mom and 6 or 7 little pizote-kits, and the occasional sighting of an agouti. The pool was a beautiful space from which to view the ocean and the sunrise. In the evening, the large outdoor space was perfect for watching the sun settle over the neighboring hills. Joachim was an attentive but discreet host, making sure we had all we needed, and leaving us a wonderful home-baked loaf of bread one day. We utilized the small but well-stocked kitchen every day. The walk to the beach either down the steps or down the hill then back again was a good workout for the day. Cabuya was just a short drive away and had all the essentials - two grocery stores, a bakery and coffee shop and several restaurant-bars. Our one-week stay was far too short and we will be pestering Jaochim for dates for 2021, as soon as we get home!
