Above the Gulf House: Spectacular Ocean View!
About this house rental
Surrounded by the forest the house is set off the ground and has huge windows to give it spectacular views of the forest canopy and Nicoya Gulf. Big rooms and Queen size beds provide comfort, plus all the essentials and more are provided. The house is large enough for a family but also perfect for a couples romantic get-away. Located close to town but extremely private it is ideal as a base to enjoy all of Monteverdes attractions and is an attraction in itself that provides the peace to rest after a full day of activities. As mentioned the house is located on a large property, there are other rent houses on the property but out of shouting distance to provide each with privacy. Just up the road from the property there are several restaurants, a couple small supermarkets, art galleries and souvenir shops. Also in the area there are several attractions such as private reserves, a butterfly garden, night tours and others. The space The house is located on a 27 acre property which guests can explore as they wish, providing them the opportunity to see lots of the local flora and fauna without having to book a tour or drive anywhere. Interaction with guests Our hostess will confirm your reservation, meet you for check in and help with any questions you might have about the house, the area, tour options, dining suggestions on anything else you might need. We will leave you to yourself once checked in but are available at any moment for any questions or help you may need. Other things to note As a note the sofa bed lacks privacy because it is located in the living area but not comfort since it has a double bed mattress on it. This property has a security camera outside, facing the garage.

Even our 25 year old daughter was amazed with the views from the house. The house itself is also view nice, open and airy yet plenty of privacy. Daniela is a wonderful, attentive host. Recommend the breakfast at Abuela’s Hideout.

I truly felt I was staying in the cloud forest. I loved watching the agouti and coati on the back deck and the clearing down below. Daniella’s instructions were great and the signage getting to the house was very helpful.

Absolutely loved it - one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever stayed. The gorgeous wood furniture and the view were the highlights. We saw more wildlife from the balcony than we did at Monteverde or Curi-Cancha! Can’t recommend highly enough.

This is amazing house has quite a bit of charm in it's unique craftsmanship. The view is incredible. The beds were a bit hard for most of us but the kitchen was well stocked. Eating around the beautiful handmade table with the view was a dream. Check in and check out were a breeze and it was easy to find. A perfect get away.

I'll never forget the elation I felt when we reached the end of the bumpy gravel driveway and looked out over the forest and saw the Papagayo Gulf. The house looks brand new. High ceilings and floor to ceiling windows to the west create dramatic vistas. The attention to detail given to the construction and furnishing of the house is astonishing. The house is a work of art. Wildlife shows up at unexpected moments. The feeling of privacy is complete but sophisticated restaurans are 5 minutes away. A+ accommodations.

The photos on VRBO did not do justice to this home. We (family of 4 with two grown children in their 20's) loved it. The house looks brand new with amazing hand crafted wood furniture, bookshelves, cabinets, mirrors, sinks, etc. The hand made wooden kitchen/dining table is a work of art. The kitchen is a bit small but adequate - who does a lot of cooking on vacation anyway?
Not long after we arrived a group of 15 or so monkeys swung by the house (actually ran over the roof) on their way elsewhere. They stopped long enough to pose for pictures (an adorable baby too!) The front deck overlooks the cloud forest and we saw birds and mammals go by while we sat on the deck enjoying an afternoon snack.
After several days in Tamarindo, we were nervous about the house not having air conditioning, and realized it didn't need it. In fact we were happy with the extra blankets at night.
This place is a real gem - and we highly recommend it. Don't be too nervous about the rocky dirt road you must drive to get to the house - it is very secluded, and you feel like you are in the cloud forest when you arrive - and yet you are just a minute or two from restaurants and such.
Of the 5 places we stayed in Costa Rica, this was our favorite.

Beautiful handmade furniture however uncomfortable to sit on.
The kitchen is not set up for cooking. It lacks counter space, drawers, cupboards and normal utensils ie kitchen knives for food preparation. For very basic cooking ie frying eggs or warming soup, this kitchen is ok. For all other cooking preparations, it is totally inadequate.
The Property Manager was wonderful to work with. When asked for preparation knives, she was very responsive.

This house is a little quirky but built with so much love and the hosts are so attentive we would go back in a minute. The view is unbelievable and the place is spacious and clean.
I say quirky because there is no seating to relax in...all the chair are straight backed and while gorgeous, there was no place to comfortably relax. But seriously, the charm and character was over the top. Also, this place is ridiculously close to town (Santa Elena) but it feels like a hundred miles away.

This house was absolutely beautiful. Three great bedrooms with another bed/couch in the living area. Perfect kitchen. Our family of seven throughly enjoyed being there and couldn’t have been more comfortable. It really is a luxury house that the owner has invested a great deal in. Wonderful decorative touches.
Finally, our host met us at the house. She was so helpful. So friendly. Perfect!
Do not hesitate to rent this house!
