About this property
Entire place
You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.
Your own house in the jungle, 5 minutes from the beach!
Stay in your own house in the jungle, just up the road from the beach! This 5000-ft2 house (500 m2) will actually fit two families, a group of 15 friends, or several couples who want to enjoy a jungle holiday together. Nestled deep in a private tropical jungle setting but located a few minutes from the beach, the house enjoys a fully-forested lot size of 14 acres (5.5 hectares), ensuring privacy, tranquility, and plenty of opportunities to view many species of toucans, hummingbirds, and butterflies.
To say that the property is spacious is an understatement. While outside, relax by the pool while breathing in the ocean air. Explore countless kilometres of jungle hiking from the doorstep. Observe the toucans bouncing in the trees. Count the hummingbirds in the butterfly garden.
This is an open-air tropical house. The great room, dining area, bedrooms, and balconies provide privacy while making you feel that you are still outside in the beautiful Costa Rican rainforest. While a few windows have glass, most windows are screened only, and they always allow the jungle and ocean breezes to fill the rooms.
The vacation home features a kitchen, 6.5 bathrooms, and a balcony. There's space to spread out with 6 bedrooms and a dining area. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a private pool, a washing machine, and a coffee maker. Housekeeping is available on request.

This is a spectacular setting, and lives up to the pictures. It is hard to find, however and needs better signage. The pool is really nice. The open concept of the home was great for our family. We enjoyed the four king bed suites. We loved the views. The outdoor grill worked well. The kitchen needs upgrading to match the beautiful home. We spent Christmas here and are glad we did. The only thing we would have wished for was the chef recommended by the host to follow through on his plans. He bailed on us the day before our arrival. The closest grocery store is about 20 minutes away.

Amazing place
Five of us stayed for five nights. We could not have asked for a better place to stay. The home owner supplied us with detailed instructions to get to the house and the property manager was quick to answer all of our questions.It really is a nice secluded property but close to everything we needed. Would stay again. Also, we awoke every morning to the sound of toucans in the trees.

Beautiful Costa Rican retreat
Loved every minute of being here! Beautiful views all around! The main part of the house is completely opened to outside! Which we loved. We felt very safe at all times! We heard monkeys and saw a toucan. Tons of butterflies and hummingbirds flying all around! Dennis the property manager was very helpful and always available!
Thanks for the stay and we definitely recommend going to Costa Rica and staying at this beautiful house!
