The house was amazing! Extremely comfortable beds (not so common in CR), big spaces, beautiful bathrooms. The kitchen was stocked with what we needed (although it's a mini fridge so keep in mind if buying perishables). And don't forget the views! On the very top of a large hill (mini mountain?), which makes for an incredible vista. We only stayed one night but will definitely take advantage of this gorgeous house again!

The house is well placed, with lots of privacy, a fantastic view from the outdoor seating area and a quiet neighborhood. Jay was a gracious host, bringing us to the house, leaving coffee and breakfast to start our day. He promptly responded to questions and inquiries. The house looks just like the pictures but what you cannot see if how private it feels from the inside. It was a romantic and relaxing place to spend a few days. There is about a 20 min walk to the charming town center (but take an inexpensive cab home, the house is at the top of a very tall hill) and Atenas has enough to keep you pleasantly occupied for a few days.

This house is even better in person. We originally booked this for the view, but Jay was so accommodating! He had fruits on the table, some groceries in the fridge, and a music system. It was perfect!!!!

Fantastic location and one with nature is how we would describe Casa Bella. 30+ mins drive to San Jose and 1 hour 20mins from Jaco. Perched on top of the hill with inspiring views to the surrounding countryside, it was great choice for our last few days in Costa Rica. Jay's friend Cristian provided a warm welcome and some local tips. Great experience and definitely recommended.

Amazing place to stay...

The host is so clear and organize . He wrote me in details the directions and all the stuff that we can do in the area even the places that we can order food. He provided breakfast for us . There a TV with many choices of movies . The place is so beautiful and clean ! One of my favourite place to stay in Costa Rica !

We only stayed here for one night. It's such a nice spot to spend also a whole week. It's a good starting point for different day tours and also the place itself is just nice with the great view, open kitchen and spacious rooms. Jay is very friendly. He welcomed us with with some groceries, which was very generous for just one night. I can really recommend the place and Jay as a host! Thanks!

The place is amazing. The price is unbelievable. Very clean. In secluded community with high end mansions atop a hill with a great panoramic views. The pictures don't do it justice. Jay, the host is very hospitable - drive us in from the town square and had a basket of goodies waiting for us. Have rented throughout the globe - this has been been one of the better experiences. Thanks Jay.

樹屋酒店在叢林中的美麗景色 - 許多動物包括在內。由於它在哥斯達黎加天黑早,你必須調整的事實,一旦你進去變淺,甚至有些動物前來參觀。不幸的是,我們有一些運氣不好的零星蚊子的夜晚......托馬斯慷慨,而是直接關係到我們新的蚊帳。 作為主持人,他是真正偉大的,向我們展示了在其他之中的海灘延伸我們在那裡(約30分鐘步行路程)整天自己。提及也應該是一個漂亮的游泳池,這是我們經常使用的冷卻。

We are sitting in the airport having just left the tree house and we are already reliving stories from our 8 day stay! The tree house is exactly as described but you have to go to experience the view and the nature! The porch became our favorite spot with daily visits from monkeys and even a birds eye view of a sloth and many birds and lizards. We chose to fly Sansa to Quepos and Thomas picked us up and have us a little ntour of Quepos which was much appreciated. We then walked into town and used to bus system - super easy and we enjoyed to walk allowing us to slow down and take in the experience. The hike back up was often sweaty but after a quick rinse in the beautiful pool we were right as rain! Definitely a beautiful but rustic experience. We felt safe always but there was wildlife including scorpion (only once in the sink) and spiders so make sure you are up for the a adventure. We can't imagine a more perfect place to experience the jungle! Thomas describes the walk to town perfectly (10-15minutes).

The treehouse - an experience once in a lifetime, despite I really hope to come back. On the day of our arrival, we headed up Quepos later than expected - even though Thomas came down to town, welcomed us really friendly and showed us the way to our new accomondation. While entering the treehouse, the incredible charme of the house, totally catched us. It was exactly as we imagined and even excelled our expectations. The sounds you are hearing (jungle sound is the best sound to fall asleep and wake up), the animals you will spot (we had 3 of the 4 kinds of the costa Rican Monkeys just in Front of the balkony, plenty of beautiful brids, geckos and so on) and all the nature you can feel - made it definitly to a Perfect stay! The treehouse is really well equipped and has everything you will need! One Day Thomas also helped us organizing a line Zipping tour - which was incredible! Thank you so much!

There's a reason the treehouse has so many lowing reviews. From the moment my reservation was accepted, Thomas was in contact with me about detailed transport options and information about the area. Whenever I had a question, he was there to answer it or assist me in any way I needed. The treehouse looks even better in reality than the pictures and is ideal for a couple or solo traveler. Thomas was able to book activities for me once I arrived (and Lili gave me an amazing massage with only 1 day's notice!) with no trouble. During my stay, he was very responsive to any issues I had, and paid great attention to detail to ensure that I was having a wonderful time! Some things to know before visiting the treehouse: -The road to the house is, as other reviews have described, very arduous. It's slippery when wet and a pretty vigorous hike, even if you're in good shape. If you're going out and you don't plan to take a cab back, bring suitable walking shoes. -Don't miss out in a massage from Lili! She is extremely professional and incredible at what she does. -Lizards and small bugs might come visit inside the house. At first, this made me uneasy, but if you don't bother them, they won't bother you. Embrace the wildlife! All in all, it was an incredible stay that I won't soon forget. Highly recommended!

The Tree House was simply incredible. We were welcomed by Thomas when we arrived, who gave us every piece of information we'd ever need about the place and the town and was always around to help us whenever we needed. The room itself was lovely, filled with all we could hope for (including delicious Costa Rican coffee that definitely helped us with getting up in the morning!). The pool area was amazing and spent many an hour lounging on the hammocks reading with the sounds of nature all around. And most importantly, the view off the balcony was breathtaking. While sitting there after lunch we were greeted by a huge group of Squirrel Monkeys, playing on the decking less than a meter away. An unforgettable experience with one of the nicest hosts you're ever likely to meet. Don't miss out!

Hey now! The treehouse experience is one of a kind! It was like camping in the canopy. The monkeys were on the railing and playing in the trees and we had a mother sloth and her baby hanging from a branch right outside the balcony which was a very special animal experience. The place has everything you need. The pool is great to have at the end of the day or even just to hang at for a relaxing day. Tom was very helpful when we had questions or needed anything. We didn't have a vehicle but if you do get one a 4x4 is recommended. Enrique was our taxi man and he was awesome. Even helped us do some shopping and was Johnny on the spot when we called for a ride. Whatever you do please book this place and experience the real Costa Rica.

The Treehouse in Manuel Antonio was our favorite place during our travels around Costa Rica. A truly beautiful and unique location. We loved walking into town every morning and taking the bus to the beach. We enjoyed different restaurants in Manuel Antonio and Quepos, as well as utilized the local grocery where we bought beer, snacks, and groceries to cook ourselves dinner. Thomas was a gracious host and provided such an amazing place to stay. We even saw a dozen squirrel monkeys playing on the porch one morning! Thomas provided transportation from the airport in the middle of the night, as well as to our bus pick-up early the morning of checkout. What a great experience!!! Thank you!!!

This place is incredible! We did not want to leave the treehouse for our whole week in Quepos. We saw so many monkeys and sloths, and the area is just beautiful. The house is one of the nicest places we've stayed in Costa Rica, and the bed is very comfortable.

We had a great, relaxing stay at Raj's wonderful home in Playa del Mar! The view is to die for!!! It was a perfectly romantic blissful place for us to spend the week. The details and recommendations provided before the trip were spot on and Caroline and others were very helpful during our stay. We can't wait to go back!!! Pura vida, Mike and Shawn Ott

This was the vacation of a lifetime! We (a family of three, Mom and two twenty-somethings) highly recommend this villa to anyone who isn’t afraid of being off the beaten path and wants to experience the real Costa Rica. A one to two hour drive from most anything touristy, this insanely beautiful and spacious house is your own private piece of paradise. The views are absolutely astounding, the privacy can’t be beat, and the amenities are truly first class. One of our favorite features was that the whole house, inside and out, was wired for sound, so you can plug in your iPod and play your music, really enhancing the relaxing atmosphere and without fear of bothering the neighbors. You can walk down to the beach from the house, but it’s a little rocky there. Take a ten minute drive to Playa Blanca and enjoy a sandy swimming beach that the locals enjoy. Driving was fun and really gave us a taste of what life in Costa Rica is like, so if you are more traveller than tourist, that’s a plus! Make sure you take time to enjoy the house, but also take some adventures to beaches, ziplines, etc. You really don’t need to stop in Nicoya at the Maxi Pali for groceries, the shop at Roma del Mar is stocked well. There aren’t many local restaurants, but the ones that are there are phenomenal. Raj and Arlene were very communicative and extremely helpful—made me feel very comfortable planning this trip - an absolute pleasure to work with. Don’t miss out on this amazing place!

raj was great communicator from initial email to the end... arlene is truly a find and was incredibly helpful, going above and beyond!.. everything was super-organized... the location is a little too far removed but if you want nothing more than to just lounge around the pool, it's perfect... the house is a little rough around the edges but is appointed with everything you could possibly need for a lazy vacation... the pool and the view are amazing... arlene will arrange everything you need (thanks again, arlene!)... get massages from anja, and be sure to eat down the street at oasis - it doesn't look like much but elena is really a great cook and every meal is truly a homemade one :) bottom line: just don't expect luxury like you would get at the multi-star hotels in arenal area and it'll be an excellent experience if you're going in knowing what you're getting yourself into...

Absolutely fantastic!!!! 5 Stars!!!! We loved our stay! It is a very beautiful home, has amazing views, excellent service, just perfect. Raj was very prompt in his communications. Arlene, who manages the property, also answered all of our questions and went above and beyond to make sure we had a good stay. The house was very clean and well maintained. The pool area was immaculate. The neighborhood was quite nice, with lots of birds and nice areas to walk around. Highly recommended.

We loved our stay at Raj's home. I still have the view in my mind as I walk around NYC. The house is comfortable and spacious - great for a family with kids. The pool is just incredible. The excellent sound system was great - and fun to listen to music everywhere in the house, including at the pool. We loved being in an untouristy part of Costa Rica and going to local restaurants (Aroma del Mar, Oasis) and beaches (Playa Blanca - where we saw lots of monkeys in the trees). The kitchen is very well equipped and the Roma del Mar grocery store had everything we needed - including excellent produce and freshly baked bread. I agree with other guests that a lot of the time we just wanted to hang out at the house and stare at the view, but we did enjoy going snorkeling on the Isla Tortuga trip and bioluminescent kayaking with Bahia Rica (a kayaking and fishing outfitter/lodge near Paquera) and also the awesome hike/waterfall at Karen Mogensen. Raj was an incredible host from the very beginning. He provided full and excellent information about the house and the area and was immediately responsive by email for any little question. At Roma del Mar, Caroline, Jenny and Lars were SO available, responsive and helpful from start to finish. Little problems arose and everything was handled beautifully. The on-site availability of these folks was an absolute plus and we enjoyed getting to know them a little bit. I highly recommend staying at Raj's villa. Be prepared for an adventure (rent a 4x4 for sure) and wonderful relaxation.

This was one of our best trips ever! The Villa was absolutely amazing! It was just as described in the pictures and the description. The view was absolutely gorgeous. We had another couple and our children, so the pool was a big hit. The location was perfect for us. We didn't want to be in a crowd and surrounded by tourists. This Villa is off the beaten path and does require driving a bit if you want to do excursions. We didn't mind at all and took it as an opportunity to see more of the country. We took day trips to Samara for the beach, Montezuma for zip lining/waterfalls, Tortuga Island snorkeling, and even took the ferry to Puntarenas to the macaw sanctuary. Raj was great to work with and his info packet and tips were a great help. We would definitely choose this place again!

The villa is tucked into a cliff that overlooks a beautiful bay. It's a little rough coming in (definitely rent a 4x4), but that only adds to the adventure and fun of your visit. You wake up early to birds and howler monkeys and enjoy the best part of the day watching the sun rise. The rocking chair and the hammock were my favorite place to relax after a day at the beach or an excursion.

Outstanding experience!! Extremely easy to find and we loved our villa. I would highly recommend this to anyone!

We were staying at the Villa for 4 days. Located at the top of a hill. Beautiful view, surrounded by nature. Better have a car to access the property since there is a steep path. Other than that great stay. Andrew is a great host. Surf boards to rent if needed. I definitely recommend this property.

Andy was a wonderful host. He arranged an ATV for us, soon after we arrived. I definitely recommend an ATV over motorcycle or car. The roads are steep and bumpy! We loved the views from our top floor villa, which was very spacious and clean. We also enjoyed meeting the resident dogs and kitty. Made the place feel like home :). Highly recommend the Surf Vista Villas and we would come back and stay anytime. Santa Teresa is a great town full of beautiful beaches and great restaurants/shops. Andy also arranged a taxi and the ATV pickup for us before we left.

Santa Teresa and Surf Vista Villa were both amazing and beautiful. Andy was very helpful, with suggestions of places to eat, he helped us find a zip lining place, and even took us on a hike in the pouring rain! The view was unbeatable, and we really liked the outdoor cooking and eating, and felt comfortable. There is a definite community feel of the place (not a lot of privacy), which was perfect for our group, but might not be ideal for couples or families. The road up to the house was very challenging in the rain and mud however, even in our 4 wheel drive jeep, but I think Andy is trying to pave it all the way up, so it might be easier in the future. Also, it was abnormally rainy while we were there, but the roads to Santa Teresa itself were pretty scary (landslides, washouts, river crossings), and the internet and phone were out while we were there, so it might be worth checking the conditions before heading out there. But we had a great time, loved the views, and Andy was a great host!

good directions...keys were in the door when we arrived. great place! an incredible view and a relaxed vibe. glad to have stayed there and would definitely stay again

Wow! The pictures of the view do not do it justice. I extended my stay from 1 week to 2 weeks. The sunsets overlooking the Pacific are unreal, serene, and soothing to my soul. San Diego, Malibu, or Manuel Antonio, Costa Rica don't hold a candle to this view. It is very quiet and serene. Off the main road and away from the hustle of Santa Teresa. Locals are super friendly. This town is obviously a surfing mecca. Andrew is quick to communicate and accommodate. Crystal and Juan were also very helpful. My room was cleaned every other day. I had access to a nice washer and dryer. Internet works great, the fastest during my month traveling here. Showers were always hot. The beds were very comfortable. Here is the real skinny about the hill to the villas; I had no problem getting up and down with a Toyota Yaris (2 wheel drive) dry and during heavy rain (I stayed here during the rainy season - Aug & Sept). Juan fills in potholes after rain. 90% this hill is paved. I also ran every other day. The hill is steep in a couple spots but not a big deal. It is a short 3 - 5 min drive to all restaurants, grocery, and other attractions in Santa Teresa. Super La Hacienda (grocery) is a block away at the bottom of the hill. The beach is 100 yards from the bottom of the hill. Love The Bakery for breakfast. Zula Restaurant was a staple for me. Burger Rancho, Casa del Mar, Chicken Joes are all great as well. A local named Jack ((PHONE NUMBER HIDDEN)) will deliver just about anything from local restaurants to grocery. Al Capone Delivery on (SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN).

Andy's set up is pristine. We arrived late at night and easily navigated ourselves to our room with his instructions on the very visible message board. We were excited to visit Santa Teresa and do some exploring/surfing. The set up was so great that we didn't even leave the house the first day because we felt so relaxed with the view and beds. The architecture, construction and decorating give an unexpected aesthetic appeal. This will now be our Santa Teresa destination. Head's up: If you're traveling without a car, it's a significant hike up the hill to get to the location (hence the beautiful ocean views).

Surf Vista Villas was wonderful. I highly recommend it. The house was beautiful, peaceful and well maintained; the staff was friendly, helpful and responsive. The other guests were very sweet, and the view couldn't be beat! We loved the location - a little out of the hubbub of downtown, byt only a 10 minute walk to the closest grocery and restaurant (Soda), and 20 minute walk on the beach to the heart of downtown. Walk to the ocean in 10 minutes. Yes, there is a BIG hill to walk up to get to the lodge -- you probably want a car if you have small children or don't like walking hills. We walked it 2-4 times a day, and it was fine. I have buns of steel now ;) Thank you to Andy, Juan, Juan and the rest of the staff at Surf Villa Vistas!

Great place, great location, great view, and great owner. Yes, there is a hill to climb, but that's a small price to pay for what you get. If you can't handle it, rent an ATV. I look forward to getting back here again as soon as possible.

Phil hat uns herzlich aufgenommen und sich viel Zeit für uns genommen, insbesondere für unsere Fragen zu seinem leckeren Kaffee. Das Grundstück ist riesig und wunderschön! Die Unterkunft war sehr sauber. Wir würden hier jederzeit wieder übernachten!

We stayed here for two nights and absolutely loved the location, natural beauty, and proximity of Phil's place to all of our activities. The space is clean and modern, surrounded by the peaceful and beautifully landscaped gardens and coffee farm. The on-site meditation gardens are amazing and the coffee is delicious. Phil was friendly and extremely helpful, providing us with recommendations for dinner and things to do in the area. We will definitely stay here again if we find ourselves back in Costa Rica!

Nos encantó nuestra estancia en Phil pesar de sólo una noche. Fuimos a dar un paseo por la granja en la mañana y compró tres bolsas de su delicioso café. Phil era amable y respondió a todas nuestras preguntas.

We were running late bc of getting lost but once we found the place, we were greated with a friendly smile and full explantation of everything. Breakfast was tailored to our making and fresh coffee from the farm was served. We walked the grounds for monring yoga in the meditation garden (self-lead), caught up on emails using wi-fi and took hot showers in the beautiful bathroom (after a few days in a jungle farm in puerto, they were needed!). So lovely and safe and privacy but also friendliness and service when needed. Much more unique and warm than a hotel or hostel. I highly recommend and advise to stay longer too to explore san isidro--we only stayed one day bc we had to get to a wedding in manuel antonio. Gracias!

Entirely welcome to a beautiful estate. Everything was immaculate, from the grounds to the accommodations, to the Casita we stayed in. Upon arrival Phil greeted us and invited us into his home for coffee from his own place, that is grown there. The meditation garden was so great and relaxing with a stream running through it, very peaceful and tranquil. Phil also knew his way around the kitchen very well with a variety of breakfast choices. The massage from Alberto was great, highly recommend it. Overall just wonderful. Of course Phil has lived there many years and knows the whole country very well and can tell you what is good to go to as far as sights, places to eat and so on. Thanks from Heather and Buck.

Mi novia y yo lo pasamos muy bien en casa de Phil. Él es una persona muy interesante y divertido, dando un montón de consejos útiles para viajar por el país. No podríamos haber imaginado una mejor anfitrión para nuestra primera parada en CR. La habitación era amplia y limpia, exactamente como se describe. Tome un paseo a través de su precioso jardín café y no se olvide de comprar algunos de sus increíbles granos de café. Gracias de nuevo Phil por recibirnos!

Phil's reviews already say it all. Wonderful experience.

Wunderschöner Platz und sehr ruhig, wir haben sehr gut geschlafen. Der Garten ist eine fantastische Anlage. Waze ist empfehlenswert um die Unterkunft zu finden. Wir können Phil und seine Unterkunft bestens empfehlen. Beautiful place and very quiet, we slept very well. The garden is a fantastic installation. Waze is recommended to find the accommodation. We highly recommend Phil and his accommodation. Bel espace et très calme, nous avons très bien dormi. Le jardin est fantastique. Waze est préférable de trouver l'hébergement. Nous pouvons vous recommander Phil et son herbergement.

We had a wonderful time and loved the house. Amazing views and such a cool part of Costa Rica. The rivers and waterfalls were amazing. Playa Ventanas is incredible. You definitely need 4x4 to get to the house. It's so worth it. We'll be telling everyone to stay here when the go to Costa Rica!

Our stay at Pura Vida Ecolodge was way beyond anything we could have imagined or expected! The open-air plan gave us a wonderful feeling of being immersed in the tropical jungle. Awakening every morning to the rising sun and the sound of Howler monkeys, sea surf and many many birds was spectacular! We so thoroughly enjoyed our Mangrove / River / Deserted Beach tour with Gersan and Ili. This is truly a special way to engage with the real goodness of Costa Rican people and is not to be missed! We can't find enough good words to say about our whole experience here and we're already thinking about how to go back again.

What can I say? We really loved the beautiful house and the overwhelming surrounding and we had a wonderful time there! Joe, Kika and Gerzan were very helpful and great hosts being very professional and polite. Definitely the highlights of our one month tour through Costa Rica. Thank you!

The good: killer views, pretty house The less than good: I initially found the website, then merely paid through abnb. So, with chagrin I admit I was expecting a lodge and not a house from what I saw online. The road to PV is intense, steep grades, super rocky and 30+ mins each way. We didn't expect that from the directions we received. Your one contact is Gersan, but we couldn't contact him via our international phone/text apps when the internet died for the near duration of our stay. And unfortunately he's the only one with access to the iPad to restart the internet. The toilet tissue hadn't been tossed during pre cleaning so the master bed/bath smelled terribly. Also we asked for check out at 9, but when he didn't show by 9:30 and we had no way to contact him, we had to press on without seeing him first. Also, they restrict your power use with fees, but they don't give examples of usage in order to understand how not to exceed the limit. That concerned us. The downstairs shower basically only dribbles. This place was great, but we felt it was over priced for what you receive.

Nice house with a spectacular view. Everything was perfect organised.

What a perfect and secluded getaway. The house is so unique and the finishes are wonderful. The host and housekeeper were easy to communicate with and were so eager to help with anything we needed. Definitely get a meal made for you during your stay. So delicious! The wildlife and scenery were second to none. Definitely will be back!

Nice easy drive down from San Jose yet Pura Vida EcoLodge is a world away! R&R in tropical paradise with a marvelous view out to the Pacific combined with the ocean breeze = just what the doctor ordered! Rejuvenation complete!

Place is amazing for the nature and the view is breath taking... it really is... sounds of the birds at morning and looking a storm coming and going was a pleasure. Ariving is easy folowing the directions and 4x4 car recomended. House is very clean and I felt I could live there... Communication was great and easy arrival. You need to prepare the day to go out and just come back at the end of the day for relaxing... Local market is ok at Coronado, better is close to Uvita with good selection. I recomend Sibu cafe at Bahia Ballena for excelent Ristretto and food. If you want to cook local fresh fish market at the way to Tortuga beach. I definetelly recomend staying here!!! Pura Vida!

My husband and I had a wonderful experience here! The house was beautiful, just as pictured! It took us about 25 minutes to get there from the airport. If you have a GPS (highly recommend for all of navigating throughout Costa Rica), the coordinates will get you straight there with no problem. Take time to just relax and watch the view from the patio, and explore the trails right in your backyard! Gerald left great instructions and details on the house and was easy to get a hold of anytime. I highly recommend this place.

Mi Kiva is truly magical, the gardens are magnificent and the architecture is beautiful. I enjoyed my coffee every morning walking the gardens and listening to the birds. We were sorry we scheduled so many excursions, we would have like to have spent more time hiking the trails on the property and relaxing. The deck off the back steps is wonderful. You really have to see it to appreciate the beauty. It's so much more then we expected. Our host, Gerald was great. He took the time to make sure we arrived okay (we were delayed and very late) and checked in with us before we left. We had a contact across the street in case we needed anything. The washer and dryer come in handy with our family of 5. We are already planning another trip next year!!

Gerald was interactive during the reservation process, easy to work with in accommodating our travel times. The property was absolutely as described, expansive and generously homey feeling, the wrap around veranda gives the feeling of an even larger living space. Directions were challenging, but that was everywhere in Costa Rica, without internet connection..we seemed to be guided to our destinations by divine intervention. We quickly learned that most restaurants have WIFI making (SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN) maps easy to plan the next route. We stayed our first night and our last night at this location b/c it's fairly close to San Jose airport and Poas volcano. The first night we arrived later than planned due to Europcar rental taking 3 hours to obtain our car and difficulty locating the property in the dark and pouring rain. The property caretaker Michael was not available to check us in, so we enjoyed a late lunch at the restaurant located at the bottom of the hill (Gerald had recommended). When we returned to check in, Michael called Gerald on the house phone, we were able to speak with him; he arranged for Michael (well worth the small fee) to taxi us to a market for supplies in the pouring rain! -altho he also taxied his friends in the car with us :/

I recently stayed at Mi Kiva for my birthday celebration with a few girlfriends and our stay was wonderful. The house was exactly the way the pictures portrayed it on Airbnb. And I honestly can not say enough great things about Gerald and all of the help he provided me to make my trip so memorable. Gerald lives in the USA but he went out of his way to connect me with local resources that I actually decided to take advantage of and I am so glad that I did. The grounds of Mi Kiva were absolutely beautiful...aesthetics is everything to me and I was not let down. I truly wish that I had more time to explore the grounds, but daily excursions occupied most of my time. If you like a little seclusion, character and aren't afraid of the outdoors then a stay at Mi Kiva is a must!

This home is beautiful. Amazing property, architecture, and atmosphere. Book if you can!

The locals are so friendly and the house is a beautiful adventure.

Very nice place. We had a wonderful Christmas un family

Absolutely epic place to stay. It's one of the best places I've ever stayed. The house is of a great design, the rest of the grounds are beautiful and fun to explore, and there's a waterfall. It has a fully furnished kitchen and a number of other awesome amenities you just simply would not expect. This place is a wonderful place to stay.

Had a great stay at Zen. Loved the peaceful location, pool and the great design. Rosie was a great host and gave us some great tips - particularly swimming in the mangroves.

The house was quite lovely, just about as pictured. Rosie and Bruno were fantastic hosts! They were very swift to respond to questions or issues and were so helpful with providing a list of things to do. They also offer surfing lessons! My friend and I spent several hours learning to surf and it was definitely a highlight! We actually were able to get up and ride a few waves thanks to Bruno and Rosie! The area is beautiful, the beaches were amazing and the people were so friendly. Definitely a great trip!

We stayed at Rosie's Los Laureles Villa for three nights enroute to the Hatillo/Dominical area. We arrived in San Jose at 4pm and didn't want too long a drive on our first night, and this proved a wise decision. The Villa is about 1.5 hours through the mountains towards the coast. Traffic can be heavy but roads are excellent. Rosie settled us in and is a truly gracious host with lots of local knowledge. If you are interested in local plants and edibles, Rosie is a great resource and there is a wonderful organic garden to explore and 40 acres of trails to wander through beautiful tropical growth. A lovely family lives close by to caretake and tell you all about the garden (in Spanish) and if you like dogs, you will LOVE meeting their little gentle Nico. They showed us a sloth by the lake, and can do simple meals and laundry if you like. The house is spacious and clean, on multi levels, not so suitable for people with mobility issues. Kitchen was well equipped and lots of towels and comfy beds. Outdoor shower a real treat. Surrounding area (Bejuco Beach especially) easy drive and beautiful. Overall we were very happy and encourage guests to explore the property, a lovely way to start the day.

It is a beautiful house

J'ai apporté ma mère et sa sœur au Costa Rica sur un mini voyage de filles en Avril et a été reconnaissant que nous avons pu réserver la maison de Rosie pour leur première fois au Costa Rica. Mes attentes étaient déjà élevés en fonction des commentaires fournis - mais Rosie et Claribel a dépassé mes attentes. La maison elle-même était dans un endroit parfait pour notre voyage - nous avons passé du temps à Esterillos, mais aussi voyagé au nord de Herradura et au sud de Bejuco. Nous sommes arrivés à la maison et nous avons été accueillis par Claribel, le gérant. Elle était si gentil et a aidé à porter nos bagages et a organisé une visite de la maison. La maison était confortable, accueillant, avec toutes les commodités que vous pourriez souhaiter. Rosie est arrivé le lendemain avec les recommandations locales et un aperçu encore plus en ce qui concerne la propriété. Il est tentant de quitter la propriété, mais je vous recommande de passer du temps à l'explorer, lui-même! Il y a une famille de singes qui aiment « traîner » et les fruits indigènes et des herbes juste à l'extérieur de la maison. Lorsque nous avons demandé à avoir la maison nettoyée - ils ont laissé des fruits frais pour nous! Pendant que nous étions là-bas, nous sommes allés la pêche sportive, plongée, tyrolienne, Playa Blanca et visitions connu Subwing dans Tortuga. Je recommande vivement cette maison, ainsi que cet hôte, à tous ceux qui cherchent un endroit à Esterillos! Je recommande vivement de louer une voiture et si vous cherchez les choses touristiques - très proche est Ocean Park Ranch. Nous avons eu une explosion avec Lomar et Joshua pour une excursion d'une demi journée. Merci encore Rosie et Claribel! Pura Vida!

Rosie and her husband, Bruno were amazing hosts. She was extremely responsive to all communication and when our flight was delayed and as a result we would be arriving too late to easily by groceries, she volunteered to get groceries for us so they were there when we arrived. They were also amazingly helpful in giving us fantastic ideas of things to do and places to eat. We felt like we had a personal tour guide in regard to making our plans during the week we were in Costa Rica. Also, they were immediately responsive to any of our questions or concerns. The first night we arrived, one of the air conditioning units did not work well; when we told Rosie this the next morning, a repairman was there to fix it within an hour of our conversation. The house was even more beautiful than it appeared on the website, the decor was tasteful and uncluttered and it was cosy and inviting. The surrounding property and gardens were beautiful and interesting and you could wander on the 40 acres easily. There was a great deck for reading and sunning right off of the living room and the private pool was beautiful and clean. The bathrooms and showers were very nice and there was a great private outdoor shower that we used every day. The kitchen was open and had granite countertops and was surrounded on three sides with windows looking out onto the property and so you could see birds and butterflies flying by as you cooked. My husband and I stayed in the house for 6 nights with our three young adult children and everyone loved the experience. The house was in a location that we thought was perfect. It was less than a 5 minute drive to Bejuco beach ( which we thought was the most beautiful beach we visited in that part of Costa Rica). Bejuco beach had miles of sandy beaches to walk along, a mangrove jungle to explore and there were very few people there. It was also about 20-25 minutes south of Jaco which is a tourist destination for surfing with a lot of restaurants and shops. We liked being able to easily access what Jaco had to offer without having to actually stay there. The house was also less than an hour north of Dominical which is a beautiful region with access to hiking, waterfalls and beaches. Lastly, we had Rosie's husband, Bruno give us private surfing lessons. He was an amazingly kind, knowledgable, organized and patient teacher. My husband and sons have taken surfing lessons many times in many places and they felt that Bruno was the best teacher that they ever had and they were excited to make a lot of progress with their surfing skills. We have NOTHING negative to say about our experience and can't emphasize enough how great out time in the house was. We will definitely try to stay with Rosie again when we return to Costa...

Nuestra estancia en la casa de Rosie era muy agradable, es un lugar hermoso con propiedad para que coincida! Rosie era muy amable y servicial cuando llegamos a pesar de que ella no estaba muy seguro cuando nos esperaba debido a nuestra única comunicación a través de señales Wi-Fi y (SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN). Las fotos del lugar son de clase mundial, así que no esperamos que brillan bastante como la imagen cada noche pero es sin duda alguna una hermosa arquitectura muy cerca de Playa Bejuco. Las camas eran muy cómodas y las duchas se sentía increíble, la piscina también! Nuestra única queja es que el Wi-Fi se redujo durante los dos días de nuestra estancia, pero Rosie dijo que era un problema con el servicio local y los llamó de inmediato a que lo arreglen. No hay problema, que sobrevivió al encontrar algún local Wi-Fi en Quepos. Gracias de nuevo Rosie! - Josh, Jo, y Cheyden también!

Fantastic accommodations - the home was beautiful and private. Our days started and ended in the pool. The land it sits on is great for hiking and checking out the wildlife (we saw plenty of birds, iguanas, and caimans). The nearby town had plenty of restaurants and there are multiple beaches nearby. Bujuco beach was our favorite - blue water, black sand, and practically empty (we were there during the week). Rosie helped coordinate some day trips for us (our favorite was a trip to Isla Tortuga - an island where we snorkeled, hiked, and lounged. Another favorite was hiking at Rainmaker - a rainforest hike with multiple waterfalls to splash around in. This home is ideal for people looking for a base to go out and explore the CR Pacific Coast. We definitely plan a return trip!

It is hard to imagine how this apartment could have been any better.  We had an amazing few days in San Jose and from initial contact to check out, the apartment, security staff, residents were exceptional. We mistakenly left one suitcase behind but although the owners were out of the country we were able to retrieve our suitcase with no issues. They are very responsive through social media as well as phone. I would have a repeat visit again.

Luis place was just short of amazing. The pictures don't do the views any justice. Penthouse was very clean, organized and had everything you needed to cook a meal. Place was a tad bit hard to find and you definitely want to rent a car. Minor things like the AC in second bedroom was dripping, light in the master bedroom was out and the master bathroom faucet wouldn't run hot water. 9 out of 10

Exceeded all Expectations! The penthouse is exquisitely decorated in a prime location. It is only a short taxi or Uber ride to all major points within the city. The photos do not give it the credit it deserves. The living room, dining room and bedroom windows/sliding doors open up to an amazing patio that overlooks a greenbelt with amazing views. The vaulted ceilings in the living area are just as impressive, allowing the penthouse to feel like an extension of the beautiful views of the outside. Nothing beats waking up to the sounds of nature - water flowing through the creek in the greenbelt, birds and parrots chirping in the outside and the fresh air/breeze flowing in from the outside. The bedrooms are modern, spacious and the beds are very comfortable. Enough closet space throughout to house a month's worth of clothes! The bathrooms are also spacious and modern. The water pressure was excellent and the 12" rain shower head...made all the difference! The penthouse also has a beautiful kitchen and a washer and dryer. An amazing infinity pool is available for those that just want to relax and get away from it all! Overall, the penthouse is far from what any hotel could offer. It is an a great neighborhood and the property has security guards at the entrance monitoring the arrival and exit of all residents, guests and visitors. The penthouse was very clean and of high quality. I have stayed at high-end five star hotels during the past 20 years as I have traveled to many places throughout the world. The penthouse rivals any of these hotels as it provides something none of the hotels compete with...feeling of being at home. My trip to San Jose would have not been the same if it wasn't for my stay at the penthouse and greatly appreciate Luis Jimenez for his attentiveness, professionalism and for being an excellent host! Luis was very responsive to my requests for information and went above and beyond to ensure my stay at the penthouse was a pleasant. I guarantee that I will return to San Jose and will book my trip around the availability of the penthouse! Thank you Luis for sharing your home! Osvaldo Gomez Houston, Texas

Luis' penthouse was perfect! We'll definitely return.

The location is in a very safe neighborhood although travel to many attractions are pretty far based on the traffic.... The apartment was beautiful with an amazing view, the showers have rainfall shower heads, the bed is firm yet super comfy, huge living room for entertaining, washer and dryer. The host provides all amenities necessary for your stay ( iron, extra towels, blankets, cleaning supplies anything you might need he has) the complex has an awesome infinity pool, gym, children's area and trail down to the creek. The complex is close to a fresh market, and the US Embassy. In conclusion if you're looking for a great safe luxurious place to stay this is it. I look forward to staying here again.

Luis's penthouse is amazing! One of my best airbnb experiences yet. The guards were very helpful when we arrived and showed us up to the correct apartment. The place was gorgeous and clean - just like the photos. Everyone we met in the complex was very friendly and welcoming. Luis was quick to respond and kindly answered any of our questions. Absolutely amazing value for the price; I can't recommend this place enough!

Un lindo apartamento , muy buena ubicación, todas las comodidades

Beautiful place clean Luis Jr met me the night I arrived showed me the PH explained where everything was and recommended a few places to see. Thank you for the hospitality

Jean and Al are awesome hosts. The pictures definitely don't do the place justice! It's AMAZING!!! From the fresh picked tangerines and Costa Rican pears to the cool breezes and great people this is the place to stay on your trek through this beautiful country. It's tucked away in the mountains but Jean gives great directions and the cab drivers are great. Everyone in the town is welcoming. Jean and Al's awesome neighbor's gave me a ride to Jaco beach (about an hour away) and even gave me a ride to the airport. I can't say enough wonderful things about Jean, Alex, their beautiful place, and the great town of Atenas!

I had a lovely experience at this home! The hosts are wonderful and available to help. There is a restaurant walking distance. The home itself is exactly what I expected and more. Perfect temperature with the breeze and I didn't get a single bug bite, and this is coming from someone who usually gets eaten alive. The home had wifi, but it is coming from the host's home so it can be spotty. That was no problem for me since I was not there to be on the Internet. If you are going to stay here and travel elsewhere after, I would recommend renting a car since by bus you will have to travel back to San Jose before going most other places. It just depends on your itinerary and how much time you have and your budget. I was very pleased with my stay and I will definitely recommend this home to family and friends!

Everything was as described on the page(expect for the lake being drained) they are awesome hosts and everything was very easy. It is a very unique and memorable property that's great for someone looking for something different

Just returning from a 12 day trip exploring Costa Rica. For the first 2 nights of my trip, I (along with my boyfriend) stayed with Jean and Al in their guesthouse, The Rancho. In a lovely little neighbourhood, just 5-10 minutes drive from downtown Atenas, The Rancho is settled on Jean and Al's stunning 4 acre property. The Rancho was clean and had its own rustic flare. Jean and Al were more than accommodating, inviting us to freely explore their gorgeous property. They have a beautiful observatory deck on the highest point of their land where you can overlook the valley. Staying in this guesthouse, we were immersed into the Costa Rican natural environment. For nature lovers, Jean and Al's guesthouse is highly recommended! There is a restaurant within walking distance that had all your typical Costa Rican dishes. We ate here twice, and both times were very good! Jean and Al were gracious in providing us with granola and bagels, as well as fresh organic fruit picked from their property. I would recommend these accommodations to any family and/or friends that were planning to travel Costa Rica.

Lovely stay at The Ranch. The property was absolutely stunning with a large tangerine tree in the back yard to accompany the local coffee Jean left us in the kitchen from the coffee farm next door. Perfect place if you are looking to enjoy a few peaceful nights in a tranquil scene with the sounds of nature and serenity of your thoughts and seclusion. Lovely hosts and property. Will definitely come again when I visit costa rica again someday.

We stayed here for 3 nights at the beginning of our Costa Rican honeymoon trip, and our first AirBnB stay too! It's was awesome! The grounds that the bungalow are on are BEAUTIFUL. Jean said she's a retired landscape architect and you can tell - It's gorgeous. The bungalow itself is super neat - you won't find anywhere else that's as cool as this place! Al & Jean were awesome hosts and surprised us with leaving us some breakfast foods and fresh fruit (some of which came from their own organic fruit trees!) in the bungalow upon arrival, which was so sweet. The bungalow is a pretty open space, so don't be surprised to see a bird dart in and out, but that lends itself to a really unique Costa Rica experience! Our hosts were wonderful - they even met us in town to help us find our way there on our first trip in, and if we ever needed anything they were right there! Would definitely recommend!

Jean and Al were ideal hosts, and they have created a magical getaway in Costa Rica on their dream property. Between the house's prime location on a lily-filled lake to the kindness of Al and Jean, this getaway is a must for those who want an inspired, beautiful space and love being connected to nature's rhythm.

This is a MUST do when in Costa Rica. My husband and I rented a car and drove all over the place and saved The Rancho in Atenas for our last day/night. Jean had been MORE than helpful prior to the trip answering my many questions I had and giving me great directions to their place (directions are difficult in CR when you're from the US lol.) When we pulled onto their property I was taken back by the beauty of the grounds and nature all around. The open air "tree house" looked just like the photos but even better. Jean was nice enough to leave us some breakfast, fruit, coffee & tea for in the morning which was great. I was worried about bugs during out sleep but we had no problems at all. It is in a very safe neighborhood with wonderful views all around. There is a nice mini fridge in the kitchen too for any extra things you might want to grab at the nearby store. This was truly the highlight of our trip, we are already sending some friends to stay here and we plan on being back next year! A very big THANK YOU to Jean and her husband for a wonderful FIRST Air BnB experience. The Rancho is truly unique and memorable. Pura Vida!

Justin was helpful and welcoming.

Justin & Jessica (here forth know as JSquare) are the best freaking hosts I have ever had on Airbnb. I booked their second floor and from the beginning before I even left home they where in constant communication with me and had answers to all my questions or concerns. Staying in their little piece of paradise in Esterillos will probably be the best part of your trip. The house is clean, has most everything you need, is in a safe residential area, close enough to the beach and small town core and intimate enough for you not to see most anyone but the local lizards or birds. Justin will make it a personal mission for your stay to be as smooth and awesome as possible whether this is by helping you do your first grocery run, changing the jacuzzi water every day or dropping by with an impromptu local fish in hand ready to be BBQ'ed. What else can I say about this place: - the view is worth it's price in gold - the kitchen has everything you need to last through your stay - the bed is comfortable and big - the internet connection is rock solid (I worked remotely for two weeks with VOIP and conference calls without issues) - it's amazing value for the price JSquare are continuously improving the place based on each guests feedback so this place is bound to only get better. Enjoy your stay here & enjoy La Pura Vida

This place was great! Our host greeted us within minutes of arriving and gave us a tour of the property. Awesome house with even better views! Justin was extremely accommodating and helped arrange different activities for us (fishing and surfing). There are cool spots to eat and chill within walking distance. We will definitely come back next time we visit. HIGHLY recommend!

Justin and his family were amazing before we even arrived. The space was beautiful, the photos do not do it justice. We felt so lucky to have found it and that it was available for our stay. Cant wait to go back!

We had a great experience staying at Justin's house. It was clean, nice location, well equipped, and a lovely dog who I wanted to take with me. Justin was always attentive and helpful to answer our questions.

Good place! Does get hot but Justin set up everything for us could not ask for a more helpful host

This place is INCREDIBLE. It's the most adorable house right on a little hill overlooking the water. We only stayed here for one night (our last night) but WISH we came earlier. This place is ALWAYS booked, so we just got lucky. Everything looks brand new -- the hammocks are incredible, and the location is just divine. If you can get this place, book it. You won't regret it.

The loft is gorgeous, we stayed up there all day to relax. The close beach is quite lonely but wide and beautiful, the village is small but has 2 or 3 restaurants and a shop with an acceptable range of goods. Justin and Jessica are very friendly and provide a free laundry service which is super. Recommended highly.

The description of the apartment in downtown San Jose, Costa Rica was precise. Marie mentioned that one shouldn't waste your time outside the city when you can get a central place in town. Marie was great at returning questions within 24 hours. The apartment was perfect, it had a great view of the volcano. We were able to walk to all the museums that we wanted to. Two recommendations: for meals go to El Patio, then the Jade Museum and then outside for the venders in the back for nice local products to take home to friends.

Marie was a great host. Impeccable customer service and very nice. Got back very fast to all our emails. Our flight was delayed and we couldn't meet at the time we had set up but she was awesome enough to come later in the evening when we finally did arrive. The apartment is spectacular. Way better then we had expected. Really clean, every amenity you could want and in an ideal location. Very safe and near pretty much everything. I would and will stay here again no doubt when I'm back in San Jose.

Great apartment, beautiful set-up and very comfortable bed. Marie was very accomodating and made sure we got our apartment key and anything else we needed. Very quick to respond as well. Thanks for a great stay and looking forward to come back!

Stayed for a second trip with Marie and the experience was even better than the first time. Excellent host and mint condition everything

Although we never had the pleasure to meet her, Marie was a very accommodating host. She had someone meet us at the front door and show us the ropes. The apartment was very clean and lived up to all other previous positive comments. Marie was also very easy to get in touch with and responded quickly. We were only here for one evening but would definitely stay here again if ever back in San Jose. The city itself, we found difficult to navigate, but this did not detract in anyway from our Air B&B experience. Thanks Marie!

Excellent Great service of cab both to and from airport 25-45 minute cab ride to airport depending on traffic

Marie's apartment is in the perfect location to see San José's sights and museums. It's an easy walk to the central market, the churches, and the art and jade museums. The apartment is safe, clean, and comfortable. Also, Marie is super helpful and easy to reach. Both my friend and I had issues with delayed flights, but Marie always responded and arranged for our taxis. I highly recommend staying here.

Lovely clean apartment in San Jose. Marie was kind enough to accommodate our needs and provide an extra bed. She also left juice, tea, coffee, and cookies. We easily found the 24 hr parking lot ($16) and Juan met us with the keys (he was very helpful and helped us do laundry also). In the day this was a quick easy walk to the restaurants and theatre, in the evening we felt a little uncomfortable walking back to the apartment but not as bad as other areas of San Jose! ALSO a hot shower after a week on the coast was like heaven! :) Thanks again Marie!

Raymond's place was easy to find and is in a spectacular location. We were just there for one night and didn't meet Raymond, but he was very helpful with directions and easy to communicate with. The guards were accommodating and helpful when letting us in as well. The room itself was clean and comfortable, with a breathtaking view of the mountains and city below. We spent some time on the porch in the morning, listening to the birds and enjoying the nature around. Would definitely come back!

Raymond was beyond helpful before and after arriving at the home. The view was absolutely spectacular and we spent most of our time on the balcony. When arriving the first day we ate lunch with Raymond which is where he informed us about local dining and precautions while visiting San Jose. He got back to any of my messages promptly. The fact there was a gate and a 24 hr security guard made the stay feel very safe.The 3 dogs are the property are very cute and Sasha actually hiked Pico Blanco with us. I would definitely recommend this stay to anyone and would 100% stay here again.

Raymond es una persona increíblemente amable, estuvimos haciéndole preguntas sobre nuestro recorrido un mes antes y no dudo en respondernos ni un segundo, como anfitrión en un 10, estuvo pendiente en todo momento y la casa es espectacular, creo que es la casa más bonita en la que hemos estado, seguridad, tranquilidad, vistas, la llamamos la casita de ajedrez y para nosotros ha sido el mejor alojamiento para empezar una luna de miel! Puesto q nos acabábamos de casar, no nos hemos quedado más días xq teníamos q continuar nuestro camino, pero sin duda es la casa en la querríamos vivir, muchas gracias por todo Raymond!!!! Un abrazo

The photos do NOT lie, in fact it was even prettier. Very secure property, absolutely no worries about our vehicle and the guards were friendly. As for directions to the place it was not difficult at all. I do recommend a rental car but that's for all of Costa Rica in general. He also sent us a helpful list of places to see and where to eat and was quick to respond if we had any questions. The actual place was very clean and a cozy bed as well. Found this location to be ideal for when we were venturing around San Jose. If anything the views are spectacular!!!! Ceiling to floor Windows!

Rays place was absolutely spectacular. Best view in San Jose, a short taxi ride from the airport and not too far from great restaurants. The privacy and nature is just unforgettable. And the place was very comfortable, great bed, nice bathroom and a decent kitchen. Will definitely try to stay again!

Raymond was always prompt and attentive if we ever needed him. Our house and the rest of the property were absolutely gorgeous and there wasn't anything else we needed. Raymond also suggested places to visit in San Jose and made sure everything was great! If we ever come back to SJO, we'll definitely stay in one of his properties again. Gracias por todos y pura vida, Raymond! :)

Ray was in communication at all times and arranged a pickup drop off to the airport as requested. He even organised a minivan for the day to visit attractions around San Hose. Excellent accomodation. Stunning views and garden and 24 hr security at front gate. Beautiful area in the hills surrounding the accomodation. A little further from the airport than what we expected but worth the drive. Ray was excellent with his communication. 3 gorgeous rescue dogs to welcome you!

Beautiful, secure property in a very nice neighborhood. Ray's driver was awesome, accommodating, and much less expensive than a taxi. I've been to Costa Rica a few times now and have never stayed in/near San Jose for very long (just skipped right to one of the coasts) but I'd like to spend a few days exploring in town next time and definitely stay in Ray's floor-to-ceiling guesthouse with a great view.

Simplemente increible, el lugar sumamente bonito. Aseado, moderno y súper tranquilo. El dueño Amnon siempre muy atento. Definitivamente un lugar para volver

Lejligheden var stor, ren, køkken fuldt udstyret, komfortable senge, stor(URL HIDDEN) Absolut elskede puljen! Vi tilbragte tre smukke dage på dette sted, helt anbefale det!

Nos gustó mucho su estancia en este hermoso condominio. Fue el mejor de todos los de un B & B que nos hemos alojado. Fotografié un tucán justo fuera de nuestra habitación. Utilizamos las bicicletas para vender la corta distancia a la playa principal. Y nos ahorramos dinero por cocinar muchas comidas en la cocina bien. Todo funcionó muy bien, wifi, televisión por cable, agua caliente, todo era tan agradable. No es así en otros lugares que nos hospedamos. Un gran lugar y sin duda tratar de permanecer allí de nuevo.

Dit appartement was super leuk! Toen we naar Jaco was 100 F graden, en de zwembaden waren de perfecte manier om af te koelen. Het landschap is weelderig en mooi- en de zwembaden waren vlekkeloos. Het appartement was voorzien van airconditioning en had enorm kingsize bedden met een super zachte kussens. We hebben echt genoten van ons verblijf. Het enige probleem was dat er geen wc-papier toen we kwamen, maar Amnon zorgde ervoor dat iemand druppelde voor ons af.

Esta comunidade condomínio é bela e fechado, localizado a apenas uma corrida de táxi $ 2 a partir da faixa de Jaco. O condomínio é auto-é limpo, com quartos com ar condicionado. Ami foi ótimo com responder as perguntas que tínhamos antes da estadia. Além disso, um dos vizinhos (Kenny) e sua esposa cumprimentou-nos quando chegamos, recomendado um local jantar, e chamado um táxi para nós! Eu recomendo ficar aqui se você estiver na área de Jaco.

The host was great. Sent a cab to pick me up from the airport. Allowed me to me to extend the reservation because I enjoyed it so much.

Wir machten ein paar Tage in Jacó, so verbrachten wir hervorragend von der Zeit, dass wir die Ami Reservierung war immer in Kontakt zu allen Zeiten und immer aufmerksam, der Aufenthalt war ausgezeichnet, die Wohnung hatte alles, was wir brauchten für unseren Aufenthalt angenehm, und die Wohnung ist zum Strand und in sehr gutem Zustand sehr nahe. Auf jeden Fall eine ausgezeichnete Wahl für Buch der Wohnung von Ami.

Quelle expérience fantastique! Amnon était le "hôte!" Quintessence - Totalement réactif, incroyablement instructif, et tout simplement un bon gars. Sa place est belle et récemment rénové à la perfection. L'endroit est calme, pourtant proche de tout. Il y a de grandes randonnées, des boutiques et une plage magnifique pour démarrer! Son complexe est sécurisé, est magnifiquement paysagé et les voisins vous accueillent à bras ouverts ;-) Nous avons adoré et je le recommande vivement sa place!

Marie's apartment in Edificio Vincente, in downtown San Jose, is a wonderful space. High quality furnishings and appliances. We enjoyed cooking some of our meals and everything we needed to do that is available. We also walked around the city and discovered so many interesting things to see and do right close to Marie's location. The security measures for the building are excellent, although we felt safe in San Jose the whole time wherever we went. The most notable thing about our stay at Marie's was that when we first arrived, we'd had an upsetting experience and I was distraught, but Marie greeted us with warmth, understanding and consolation. We really appreciated that kindness from a stranger. If we ever return to San Jose, CR, we will surely stay at this airbnb.

This was the perfect place to land while staying in San Jose. Marie was always available for questions, and flexible with our schedule and needs. We felt safe, and the studio apartment set-up was all we required. Within walking distance to many of the central city areas and a variety of restaurants.

El apartamento es ideal para pasar unos días en San José. Limpio y con todo lo necesario para para cubrir las necesidades de los anfitriones. La ubicación es perfecta, muy cercana a las calles principales y comercios de todo tipo. Marie y su sobrino fueron muy amables al recibirnos. Totalmente recomendable. Ha sido mi primera experiencia como inquilina de airbnb y he quedado encantada.

Even though we had hard time locating the apartment, Marie gave us useful instructions and welcomed us to her really nice apartment. It is very clean, new and comfortable. We stayed one night but for those willing to stay longer in San Jose, it is the perfect place since it is close to everything. I would definitely recommend this place in San Jose as being a "valor segura".

This cozy, well equipped and spacious studio in downtown San José was the ideal place where to start off and plan my backpack holiday in Costa Rica. The studio is at walking distance from some bus terminals connecting to the airport and to other destinations. Marie responded instantly to my messages and gave me a few tips upon my arrival in town. Good experience!

Marie place is in the heart of San Jose culture. It was above my expectations. She had everything for a week's stay, plus extra amenities (coffee, tea, candy, juice, and full equipped kitchen). Getting in and out of bunk bed may be a chore to some; but no problem for me. Otherwise, you can sleep on pull out sofa. Marie place is a great value in San Jose and I highly recommend her.

Hôte très disponible, l'appartement est très propre et bien situé !

Marie was an excellent host and her apartment was just as her listing showed - cute, stylish, and complete with everything we needed for a night in downtown San Jose. She even left us local coffee! Marie and her daughter were patient with us when we were lost in the city and had left too little time to drive from the airport, and they directed us to the property in very good English. The location was great, as we were able to walk to the local attractions we were interested in seeing - museums, restaurants and markets. Thank you!

This was such a beautiful home and location. Waking up to the spectacular view and enjoying a cup of coffee in the fresh air was our favorite part. We had everything we needed and really enjoyed being outdoors with all the comforts of a home.

We fell in love with this treehouse. It was a truly magical, wonderful, and unique experience. We arrived when the sun was setting and I was a bit on edge b/c of all the loud animal/insect noises that I wasn't used to at the time of the day but I very quickly got over it. This places forced me out of my comfort zone and I am very grateful for that. Mornings were my favorite here. I REALLY enjoyed the outdoor shower. There were ants, no big deal. We didn't have any crazy problems with the bugs, there was a very large cicada on the fridge when we first checked in and my boyfriend picked him up and placed him on a leaf nearby for him to climb off, it was pretty cool actually. Julito gave us a tour of the farm and we harvested produce from the farm for our breakfast in the mornings. We really miss the treehouse and hope to return someday.

at first the place is enchanting perfect everything is as it is said to be beautiful scenery majestic setting clean... an then it gets dark! let me first say that i have no problems with bugs what so every i love nature and everything in it which is why i thought this would be the perfect vacation. Wrong very wrong. We came back the first night after a delicious dinner at tierra y fugo yes that was very true most amazing food ever, so we returned to the treehouse filled with cockroaches which we took as fine your in the jungle sleep with the semi light on not a big deal they stayed away thennnnn we woke up in the morning to find our whole body covered in red spots (ant bites) their is a nest under the tree house on the bedroom side that allows them to crawl in through the bed. Also there is no plastic liner on the bed which makes me scared that the bed is infested with god knows what. Julio was sweet and available and the property is as described beautiful and amazing. unfortunately if the maintenance on the place would be done properly i would recommended this place but NOT for the price it is at if i wanted to sleep and get eaten id just sleep outside for free my tent would protect me more.

This tree house is wonderful! Loved to stay there.

The tree house was an amazing experience. It has complete privacy and a view of the the jungle. The sounds of the jungle at night were pretty amazing and the sounds of the birds in the morning is nothing short of spectacular. We have lived in Costa Rica for over a year and this will be placed in our "top 5 things to do" in the country. It's like camping in a tree but more comfortable and with power, water, a fridge, a toilet and a comfy suspended bed. We were also lucky enough to have a storm roll through at night and it didn't disappoint. Such a great experience.

The place is as described. The views are incredible. The construction and design of the treehouse alone is worth your booking. It is a little secluded and a car rental is recommended. Will cost $10 for a taxi ride into Montezuma. Tierra y Fuego was incredible. Highly recommended!

This was a great place to rest and relax/ recharge. We brought our own food which we easily prepared with the kitchen supplies available and stayed mostly in the treehouse for two whole days. The bed is very comfortable and there were fans so we maintained a cool temperature. Great place to stay if you are interested in being close with nature. We saw many birds and geckos. We also saw two boas, which was a little scary, but they were not dangerous. Julito, from the ranch, was helpful with pest control and very friendly. We heard howler monkeys, but did not see any. The mosquito net over the bed kept out almost all of the bugs. We stayed here beginning of November and enjoyed the weather, and did not have too many bugs.

We have nothing but great things to say about our stay here. The tree house is quiet and secluded, yet only an hr walk from the town of Montezuma. Joseph, our host, was very helpful and the workers on the organic farm were more than friendly and welcoming, taking us out to dinner and to a fun Latin night. There was a private yoga studio with silk drapes where you can practice aerial yoga or dance. Though it was the rainy season, the mosquitos weren't too much of a problem, although we did end up with quite a few bites.

Monika was amazing! We felt welcome, comfortable, safe and informed! Tha property and home are beyond words. Peaceful and exciting at the same time. Thank you for the experience and we can't wait to return!

Vores ophold på bambus stranden hus på Osa var helt fantastisk. Huset er unikt og Miljø bedøvelse. Vi elskede at være så tæt på naturen med aber, fugle og firben omgiver os. Monika var meget venlig og gav os nogle nyttige tips om levnedsmidler og transport, hun selv arrangeret en tur gennem Corcovado National Park for os, som forlod os forpustet. Tak for alt, det var fantastisk !!

Our stay at Boca Sombrero on Peninsula Osa, Costa Riva was simply breathing taking and beyond our imagination. We stayed at Casa Troya from which we believe the designer should be awarded for its beautiful construction and Apart from the house, Osa's Flora & Fauna, the beach and the fantastic hosts made this stay the highlight of our vacation. Thank you so much..!

La casa di bambù è stato un luogo di soggiorno vicino al Corcovado, se si vuole riposare e essere lontano dal mondo pazzo per qualche giorno. Si tratta di una tale esperienza per essere così vicino alla natura e vivere con il suono delle onde e degli animali. Monica era perfetta impostazione di tutte le attività anche per noi.

Un lugar maravilloso para los amantes de la naturaleza y de los animales. No hay paredes, sin puertas - todo está abierto, uno tiene que amar. El mar pesa una para dormir. Y se puede hacer a partir de ahí muchos viajes. Kayak, Corcovado NP ... Podemos observar guacamayos y monos capuchinos derecho de la hamaca.

Esta casa de bambu foi uma delícia para mim, meu primo e mãe! Tivemos assombroso nascer e pontos de vista. Fomos capazes de fazer caminhadas de aventura, passeios a cavalo e um passeio de barco durante os dias e descansar à noite! A equipe foi tão útil e tipo ajudando a reservar quaisquer aventuras de nosso interesse! A casa é como uma casa na árvore grande com tudo que você precisa. Tivemos de carro 30 min para o mercado para conseguir comida que não foi problema e um passeio divertido. Muito obrigado. Nós definitivamente voltar no futuro.

Wow, deze plek is prachtig! Mooie luchtige casa in een prachtige omgeving. Je moet willen dat het volledig open. Dus ja, er zijn insecten en vleermuizen vliegen rond. En er zijn capucin apen in uw achtertuin gooien mango's uit de boom. En er zijn brulapen die je wakker in de ochtend. Maar ik heb niet het probleem daar :) zien. Het strand ligt op slechts een steenworp afstand. Ohnand het bed was ook comfortabel! We hebben nooit de kans om te ontmoeten Gretchen, maar Monika is geweldig en zorgt goed gehad. Ze regelden een halve dag tour voor ons met Luis sommige dieren in het wild, zoals vogels, vlinders, kikkers, kleine zoogdieren en zelfs een luiaard te spotten! Echt aanraden deze plek voor natuurliefhebbers.

Het was hartverscheurend om te Casa Troja vertrekken bij Boca Sombrero. We hadden een geweldige tijd hier met onze 2 kinderen. De eigenschap is (de huidige stand van de weg) ongeveer 45 minuten rijden van Puerto Jimenez. Je moet zeker 4x4, reizen vereist verder het zuiden ook het oversteken van rivieren via doorwaadbare plaatsen. Monika de on site manager was een genot en hielp ons met absoluut alles. We kunnen zeker aanraden een boottocht naar het wild leven heiligdom in de richting van Golfito - we hadden een zeer informatieve tour en kreeg om nummers van dolfijnen te zien op de weg terug. Casa Troya is ontworpen door een kunstenaar en je woont in een kunstwerk, open voor de omgeving te doen, dus verwacht veel ongenode bezoekers! Insectenwerend middel is een must. Scarlet ara's en apen bij het ontbijt, allerlei andere dieren in het wild te worden gezien vanaf het terras. Het strand is mooi, maar helaas niet geschikt voor kinderen als gevolg van de rotsen. Echter, er is een groot zandstrand op slechts een paar km op de weg (Playa Tamales), waar bodyboarden etc mogelijk is. We kunnen 100% deze prachtige plek voor een onvergetelijke vakantie.

The condo was very nice and very secure. Ami was a very attentive host and was very helpful. The condo had very strict rules that seemed at times excessive. The condo community is family friendly.

Todo muy bien

Una atención inmediata y muy buena, el apto muy bonito y aseado, todas las comodidades de Jaco cercanas, oportunidad de mejora con debe mejora con los guardas de seguridad ya que cuando dan las informaciones es como que dan ordenes ...

The host was very accessible which was helpful. I dont think I ever waited over a few minutes for a response to one of my questions day or night. He was able to accommodate a last minute request I had as well. The place was very nice and appeared to be recently renovated. We felt very safe and secure there since it was a gated community that checked everyone in and out when they left. There was parking for our car right next to the apartment. It was also directly across from the pool which was a nice treat. I loved the king sized master bedroom with a strong AC unit right above it and views of the pool. It was a right next to the main street in town which is nice for a walk to a restaurant, and it was a short walk to the beach. This place was great and I would love to stay again if I make it back to Jaco in the future.

After a long drive i was glad that the house was really nice with comfortable beds. The location is perfect and the security gave me a piece of mind.

The condo was exactly like it was described. Ami was a very nice host and responded to our questions promptly. I recommend this condo to anyone visiting Jaco.

Excelente casa em ótimo condomínio. Boa localização, próximo à Avenida principal e a uma quadra do mar. Ocorreu tudo muito bem!
