We loved our stay ay Many’s House so much we extended it two days. The property is located up a hill with jungle behind and in front and a view of the ocean. We sat on the patio listening to the birds and drinking coffee each morning and we sat again each evening and watched the sunset. So relaxing and so beautiful. The pool was so refreshing and clean and also overlooks the jungle and ocean. The cabins have a lot of large windows with screens to allow uninterrupted views and ocean breezes. We only used the AC in the bedroom the first night and just left the windows open the rest of the time. We walked to the locals waterfall which is nearby. Nice waterfall with a pool for cooling off. Beware the hike thoughhire steep and quite a workout. Over all Many’s House was a great find. Our favorite stop on the trip!

Peaceful

Very peaceful one of four cabins in a semi-remote location. The view was spectacular and the owner, Many, very pleasant and helpful. One does need a car though. The incline from the ocean to the cabin is at a very steep incline and the neighboring town, Uvita, is not within walking distance.
