The house is literally in the middle of the jungle and you see just about all the wild animals right there on the property!You fall asleep to the jungle and ocean noises and wakeup to the howlers and birds. What an awesome place.John is available for any needs or questions you have and is open to all suggestions.Fantastic time there I would definitely revisit!

A wonderful place to truly connect with nature. We were lucky to see a resident tamandua, along with plenty of monkeys, birds, and even peccaries. The completely open-air design and the sound of rain on the metal roof make this home especially memorable. The naturally fed pool is a beautiful, refreshing spot to relax, and the easy access to the beach is a huge bonus.It’s a very simple setup, so be sure to bring your own food (including coffee) as well as basics like soap and shampoo. Oscar is extremely helpful and responsive, which made the stay smooth and enjoyable.

We had a great stay in this beautiful property. As described, it is like a tree-house in the jungle--the walls are open, we had hummingbirds darting in and out. I thought the heat and noise of the jungle might be too much, but actually was very lulling, and felt great to go to sleep and wake up with the sun and the sounds of all the birds, monkeys, insects and more. The kitchen is very well-equipped. We arranged for a local cook to prepare meals several evenings with food we purchased at the grocery store in town, and she did a great job. The showers are outdoors, which again is great as long as you are comfortable being one with nature. The caretaker who lives on-site did a great job of helping us with any questions and arranging tours at our request. We enjoyed surf lessons, kayaking in the mangroves, horseback riding on a deserted beach, and an amazing day seeing so many animals at Corcovado National Park. We also just enjoyed swimming at the beautiful beach right on the property, and cooling off at the pool. The wifi worked great, which made my teenager happy, but even better was family time enjoying the gentle surf, amazing stars, and unbelievable wildlife.

This is an experience that you likely haven't had before...You are in an open-air home with only curtains between you and nature. Lots of room, one inside toilet upstairs. You'll share the house with crabs, lizards, spiders, and more. You'll hear howler monkeys and macaws at 5 AM and the cicadas at night, but surprisingly, not as loud as we expected. If you are there for a thunderstorm, it is amazing with the rain pounding down around you, while you stay nice and dry inside. Unfortunately, we didn't see anything other than hummingbirds, a coati, and lizards at the house. When we walked up the dirt road, we were able to see howler monkeys and white-faced monkeys, but we had hoped they would be on site. We did follow the sounds of a group of macaws while on site to an almond tree where they were feasting. The pool is refreshing as it was hot - 93 most days. The beach is rocky and not for sunbathing or easy to get down to. Surfing a 20 minute walk down the road at the official beach looked great - really long runs, but still rocky, so not a typical beach. Oscar was amazing. Arranged a night hike for us and we saw spider monkeys, tarantulas, cockroaches, snakes, frogs, scorpions, and more. Martina's, the restaurant, is good. You won't want to leave once you are at the house. It takes 30 minutes to get from town down a VERY rocky and bumpy road. With a large 4-wheel drive, we blew out a tire and saw others experience the same fate. Thanks, Oscar and John for everything!
