About this villa rental

Located in Cobano, this attractive villa for $257 per night is a fantastic option for your next trip. Built in 2005, this solid-built concrete and steel "treehouse" is nestled amongst the tree-tops high above Montezuma. It is a peaceful, quiet retreat in an enclave of million dollar homes that include Lunatica, Montezuma Hills and Villa Paraiso. It is just a 5 minute car ride down to the Montezuma Beach and about 6 kilometers to Cobano. Malpais and Santa Teresa are a 20 minute ride for world class surfing and a happening party scene. The Montezuma waterfall is a 4 minute ride, and there is a small secluded waterfall that is just a short walk from the home if you want to enjoy a private adventure just a short walk from the house. The views are absolutely breathtaking. The wildlife is abundant. The vibe is unforgettable! This home is set up with everything you need to enjoy what Costa Rica is all about! The Details: The main / entry level is approximately 2200 square feet (204 M2) and features the kitchen, dining area, huge living area, a large air conditioned suite with 2 queen size beds and a full marbled bath. It also includes a wrap around balcony with breathtaking white water coastline views. The lower level features 2 large, air conditioned bedrooms with good quality orthopedic queen-sized mattresses. There is also a full bathroom with a nice big tub. Our home sits on 2.5 acres 300' above "Playa las Manchas" and has beautiful gardens, dozens of fruit trees, a 14' x 28' swimming pool, and a large barbecue area for outdoor gatherings. (We are able to offer just the main / upper level for up to 4 people at a discounted rate. The lower level will not accessible. ) NOTE: Our master suite is NOT in the photos, nor included in this profile. It is only available by special arrangement, and at an ADDITIONAL charge. If you need to accommodate more than 8 persons, please speak with the hosts regarding the possibility of renting the master suite. (It will not be occupied by anyone else during your stay.) In June 2022, we hired the dream team of Mario and Alleda to manage the property. Mario, lives in a separate casita away from the main house, and is available to help with any needs and guidance. Mario and Alleda keep the place immaculately maintained and are always willing to help in any way possible. . Other notes... We strongly encourage you to rent a 4 x 4 car as many of the roads out at the beaches are rugged. It is possible to walk down to the beach but the walk down to town is steep and arduous. If you do not plan on having a car, there are a number of reliable taxi drivers.

The great things about this place were the view and seeing the monkeys up close. This could be a really great place to stay if some things were taken care of. First, our contact gave us the wrong address to drive to, to find the house. We got lost. Then, we had to wait for our contact to get out of work to meet up with us to bring us to the house. Second, we were not informed ahead of our visit that the internet had been cut off because someone had stolen wires to the whole town. This was known before we drove down. Since we had kids who were in school remotely and an online job we needed to check in on, this made our visit less enjoyable. We had to drive in and find a restaurant to get our stuff done every day. It was a nuisance. One of the reasons we picked this house was because it had internet. We would have liked the option to cancel or to know beforehand so that we could get things done ahead of time i.e. to better prepare. Third, when we showed up, we were informed that something didn't work(can't remember what) and that the toilet made a sound all the time and that it was something that needed to be fixed. Fourth, some of the beds had uncomfortable mattresses. If they upgraded the mattresses it would be a plus. Fifth, the front gate was a little hard to open and in the end we couldn't get it closed. Lastly, spraying for bugs. We encountered some cockroaches, and some other small bugs in the bathtub. Yeah, we know Costa Rica is full of bugs but we had stayed in other places and didn't have this occur. It is a beautiful location. Just needs someone that can keep up on upkeep and be available locally. Having to speak to owners who are absent and not completely forthcoming was a downer.

Fantastic view but the house is extremely difficult to find without the help of the caretaker who was attentive at first but less so toward the end. Be prepared for some inconveniences. During our 3 night stay we lost electricity twice and had to throw out food when the refrigerator failed. Also, it appeared to us that the property needed a really good overall cleaning. But you can forgive a lot while you enjoy the sunrises over the water.

The Tree house is an amazing place, full of life and warm breezes! We loved the views from the deck, listening to the ocean waves while watching the hawks soar all around was incredible! Laying in one of the hammocks watching the sunrise on our first morning is something I will never forget! The house came with everything we needed and then some. The local host Marlon was great, very response to all of our questions! We can't wait to go back and visit Montezuma again !
