About this cottage rental
This elevated property sits 400 feet above the Golfo Dulce and surrounded by jungle, amazing wildlife and a stunning 180 degree views. Quietly situated just a few minutes outside the main town of Pavones, it is easily accessible from the main road. Just two kilometers away, going to the north, is one of the longest sand beaches in Costa Rica. To the south, you will find the 2nd longest left hand surf breaks in the world.
This secure, private, two bedroom home has all the modern conveniences. It is fully furnished with a fully equipped kitchen, front and back outdoor living spaces and an outdoor kitchen with gas grill smoker and pizza oven. Both bedrooms have connected private baths and the home comfortably sleeps six. Take a walk through this working farm including an orchard of tropical fruit trees, coffee plants, displays of jungle flora, and the organic greenhouse and herb garden. Cool off in the outdoor shower while the monkeys, parrots, and toucans play in the palms above. The house has hot water, a/c, ceiling fans and is fully screened so you can take advantage of the tropical breezes unique to this area.
Surfing, kayaking, waterfall hikes, fishing, boat tours, horseback riding, or a morning of authentic Costa Rican farm culture, it all starts here. The owners live on site, speak English and Spanish and can help arrange all your adventures. From birdwatchers to adrenaline junkies, there’s something for everyone and we can help you plan a vacation with memories that will last a lifetime.

Mike and Elizabeth's home exceeded all of our expectation. The house itself was well appointed and comfortable. The AC was cold the view of the coastline breathtaking and who doesn't like to have monkeys in your back yard. The house sits on a quiet mountaintop which is easily accessible. Mike has created a jungle paradise with well maintained trial that he is happy to show you. They both could not be more welcoming and his knowledge of the areas flora and fauna is amazing. They hosted my family for a pizza party, told us where to surf and were there when we needed anything. I can not recommend this stay enough. If your travels find you in CR please make sure to include this jungle paradise in your stay.

This place is a must stay on your Costa Rica adventure! Michael and Elizabeth go above and beyond to make you feel welcome, comfortable and relaxed. Plus their over 15 years living in the area make them fabulous tour guides, so you can make the best of all the local beauty, sights, culture and food. We even did a pizza night with them while watching sunset at their outdoor kitchen / bar / pizza oven - yummmm! Michael took us for a walk around the gorgeous farm to see the exotic landscape, fruit trees, monkeys and waterfalls ~ oh my! Close to various super fun surf waves and empty tropical beaches. The place is super clean, well stocked, spacious, kid friendly, nice green lawn, lots of seating, hammocks and a gorgeous ocean view. Don’t miss it ;)

So I've been coming down to CR for many many years and have been to some great spots throughout the country. Pavones is one area I hadn't been so on this trip we came across Michael and Lizzie's place on their farm. Nowadays when travelling we usually find the area we like and narrow the houses down and always look to see what people say about the hosts. More often than not great hosts not only make your trip better than it would have been but also become friends (if you are into that) if you let them, and end up being people you stay in touch with later in life.
Well this property checked off both boxes and we couldn't have had a better time in Pilon/Pavones. Surf was great, company at the house great, and had a great day hanging with Michael and locals after renting a boat for the day and getting the guided tour to ring in the new year!
Pizza night is just as everyone says in reviews, you can't miss it, and the outdoor bar/kitchen at sunset is worth the price for admission alone.
Thanks guys for everything, we only hope one day we get to return the favor!
Pura vida!

We're still waiting for our security deposit
We were disappointed that we could not contact our families over Christmas due to the Wi Fi being down. Having Wi Fi was a big consideration of ours when deciding on accommodation.
The listingl advertised bicycle/surfboard/snorkle etc. usage but they were not made available and no info posted on how to access them.
It was described as a Pavones listing but was much further away from what is commonly considered Pavones (Rio Claro), not a "few minutes".
It was also a lot further from the beach than was advertised
