This house exceeded our expectations. It was not very difficult to find, especially when you follow Evelyn's map and video. It's just right up the road from downtown, a great location. It was in pristine condition - spotless. The views from the back patio are incredible. Beds were very comfy. We will definitely come back!

Perfect doesn’t even begin to describe how amazing the sun house is! This is, by far, is the best rental we’ve ever stayed in. The house is BEAUTIFUL, thoughtfully laid out, clean as can be, and perfectly equipped. The location was ideal for all of our Monteverde adventures. We definitely appreciated that it was slightly off the beaten path and away from the crowds (a few minutes west of town but very close to the zip line parks and Bosque Nuboso Santa Elena). The deck is truly magical with pristine views of the valley and jungle. Views abound in Monteverde but few compare with the one offered from the deck. The host was amazing to work with and attentive to all of our needs. I really can’t say enough good things about our stay other than we will definitely be back.

Perfect place to stay when visiting Monteverde and ideal for our family of 2 adults and 2 children. The Sun House had absolutely everything we needed and more. The views from the deck are spectacular and we particularly enjoyed listening to the large variety of birds around the property. Location is great with many shops and restaurants just a short drive away. Highly recommended!

Evelyn was a good host but needs to draw a better map as google did not work very good in Monteverde. (Worked great everywhere else). Even if it is working for you, it’s still confusing as the little access road doesn’t register on maps. The place is almost brand new and with higher end finishes. The kitchen is well equipped and beds are comfortable. The view is amazing if it’s not too cloudy.

Great location!

This is a great place to stay if you want to be close to the action in Monteverde. We booked it in order to be close to Selvatura park for zip lining. It has a great view and Evelyn was very communicative and made sure our stay was as comfortable as possible. The kids loved waking to the howler monkeys in the morning and watching all of the hummingbirds on the property. Highly recommended!

Beautiful views

Evelyn was really nice and personable. She brought us cookware when what was there was damaged. The house is beautiful and the view is amazing. We saw rainbows every morning and beautiful sunsets every evening. It is walkable from town but the walk does have some steep hills. There is construction going on Nextdoor but it didn’t disturb us at all.

BEAUTIFUL HOME!

Sunset house 1 is beautiful! It has all the comforts of home and is in a great location! The downtown and adventure tours are very close by. Evelyn is very friendly and extremely helpful with advice about local attractions and culture. The farm tour down the street (milking cows) was very interesting. We would highly recommend staying here. It was a highlight of our trip!!

Lovely Chalet With Amazing View Down the Hillside to Monteverde and the Gulf of Nicoya

We were a family of four and throughly enjoyed our three days here. Such a lovely place with everything needed for a comfortable stay. The location is close to town and various sites and activities, but also up the hillside enough to be peaceful and restful. Our host, Evelyn, was so great to deal with. Thank you for such a lovely and comfortable base to explore the Monteverde area.

Don’t miss out on this gem!!

I simply cannot say enough good things about The Sunhouse - from the amazing location, to the sweetest host ever, to the beautifully maintained and outfitted home - this is a true gem in the mountains of Monteverde! We were beyond thrilled with our accommodations and I cannot recommend The Sunhouse enough! Evelyn is simply wonderful and so helpful. She helped book our night tour with Roy, a guide with a genuine love and passion for the forest he calls home. My husband declared it his favourite part of the trip. Thank you Evelyn for helping make our family trip one for the ages!
