** Se vores nye kabel-tv og internettjenester nedenfor, og listen over 106 fugletyper set fra dette hus på 30 dage (februar 2019) **

Her er den komplette, uredigerede anmeldelse fra gæsten Dan fra Ontario, Canada:
"Dette var et af de smukkeste hjem, jeg har opholdt sig i ... Billederne gør det ikke retfærdigt, det er meget bedre personligt ... Køkkenet var vores favorit! Nye apparater og alt hvad du har brug for blev leveret ... Opholder sig i øjeblikket i en meget dyr lejlighed i Tamarindo og leverer ikke noget, en kaffemaskine eller stegepander eller endda varmt vand! Jeg savner dette hjem i Heredia!

Nogle andre positive ting er, at manageren hentede mig i lufthavnen, tog mig til dagligvarer, kom til huset, det var meget rent, Internettet var hurtigt, jeg anbefaler at bringe apple tv;) det har satellit-tv, smuk udsigt, købmanden butikken var relativt tæt ved ... vejret var aldrig for varmt eller for koldt, det var altid perfekt. Alligevel anbefaler jeg dette hus håber at blive igen en dag snart! " (slutningen af Dan's anmeldelse, og ja, han og hans kone blev gentagne kunder)

Ejer Steves ejendomsbeskrivelse: Som Dan sagde, vil enten jeg eller den fuldt tosprogede manager på stedet, Eduardo (kandidat ved University of Kansas) hente dig på min bekostning i lufthavnen eller dit biludlejningskontor, så du vil ikke har et problem med at finde stedet, og vi tager dig købmand i et dejligt nærliggende supermarked på vej til huset (åben til midnat). Hvis det er nødvendigt, aftaler vi en taxa tilbage til lufthavnen for din regning. Den nye Costa Rica-lov i 2019 kræver, at vi opkræver 13% hotelskat.

We loved our stay here. It’s a big beautiful house with lots of light, natural ventilation, windows and forest views. The checking process was very smooth and easy. Steve (the host) was great, very available and responsive during all the time, even before we checked-in, he provided us plenty of information. This house is a real gem of Vrbo. We stayed in this place roughly for two months, during rainy season (September-November), and was a magical experience. This house is located and surrounded by tons of trees, which attracted all kind of birds. We had a great time watching and finding birds during dusk and dawn. We love to cook, and this kitchen was definitely a great place for preparing our meals, it has practically everything you need, and plenty of space. Rooms are very comfy and spacious, and great balconies to watch the sunset. We felt safe all the time in this place, the neighborhood is very calm and a mixture of rural and semiurban vibes. We did not have a car and Uber worked perfectly. Alternatively, public buses to San Jose downtown pass 500 meters from the house. Overall, highly recommend this house for your Costa Rica stay and birdwatching experience!

Costa Rica Heredia Gem

The host Steve was terrific ! The 2 BR 2 Bath upper house (some stairs involved) was large with a view of the Irazu Volcano to the east. It's at the end of Calle Pittier - a narrow residential street with a hill at each end but walking it is good exercise. The 4 of us frequently also used Uber to get around. Lots of tropical birds to observe & ID

Higher elevation

The layout of the house was excellent. The lizard family were occasionally rude but hey it's in the middle of a rainforest. Nothing out of the ordinary. The owner, his friends, also neighbors, were all friendly and always helpful. The kitchen was very americano and well stocked with pots, pans and spices.

Peaceful Joy in Costa Rica

My husband and I stayed in this beautiful second level "glass house" for 2 months, January and February 2023. Big windows look out north, south, east, and west, and sliding doors open to 3 decks--east, west, and south. Skylights are throughout; if you like light, like we do, every room is sky lit. Even an enclosed sunroom to the east! The mountains and clouds moving round them are visible from all directions. Steve, the landlord, has supplied the home with every convenience--all sorts of kitchen applieance, two conputer desks, a printer, all houshold supplies--you name it--this home has it. The location in the central highlands means that the climate is close to perfect, no too-hot days or too-cold days, just pretty much 70s all the time. Plus, Steve is totally helpful, lives on the premises this time of year, and is bilingual. Whatever problems arise for his guests, Steve can find a solution whether it be a health, cell phone, or travel issue. He even provides a 30+ page Visitors' Guide to local and wider Costa Rica. The home has a tall stariway entrance, so inappropriate for wheelchairs. And for those of us in our 80s, traversing the up and down walk to the bus stop can be a challenge. For those with a car, the location is ideal. For those without a car, Uber provideds economical rides to and from the property and into San Jose. Enjoy bird watching: I made special friends with 2 families of Great Kiskadees!

Very spacious, accommodating home in nice area close to San Jose

My partner and I travel all over the world and Steve's place is by far one of the nicest, most well appointed we've ever stayed in. The house is private & has some beautiful views. It has bright, airy, spacious rooms & an open kitchen with every utensil & appliance you could possibly need & more. He supplies bottled water, some condiments for cooking, teas, toiletries, a laundry line in the sunroom - even a bit of equipment for a workout & dishwasher detergent! Yes, there's actually a dishwasher, as well as a dryer (& dryer sheets!), first aid items, antibacterial gel, cleaning products, movies, books, office supplies - & a printer! I could go on.... Very unusual for a rental. We had good internet signal during our stay. Steve's an avid birdwatcher as well, so if that appeals to you, this is the place to see many species! The house sits up high, so we loved waking up every morning to large evergreen treetops surrounding the many bedroom windows, with birds flitting around in the branches. We were also impressived by how much helpful information Steve provides for things concerning the house, such as where to put the trash, how to work the washing machine & dishwasher, how to work the TV/cable, etc. He has thought of everything, including detailed info about where to buy groceries, local restaurants, places to visit, & daytrip itineraries. He also provides a personal tour to help familiarize guests with the area. Never have we stayed at a place where the owner provides so many amenities, & he himself is willing to provide a tour plus so much tourism information all written up for easy reference. Steve is very responsive, but he also provides contact info for a neighbor who speaks English & for his on-site caretaker, Carlos. Carlos doesn't speak English, but with Google translate, we did fine. He's very nice & extremely helpful. We requested a pin location to be sent to us & didn't have any difficultly finding te house. We were driving a 4x4 but don't feel it's necessary to have to get to his house. It's just far enough outside San Jose to be away from the city craziness, but not too far to drive into the city. (Note - If you plan on driving to the volcano or taking any unpaved mountain roads, you should definitely have a 4x4). Overall, we had a great stay and highly recommend this place!

Loved it

We (ages 65 and 72) thoroughly enjoyed our stay but this place is not for everybody. We are physically active but also enjoy privacy and being connected with nature. The location is a bit remote, but basic necessities are within walking distance, if one is physically fit. Certainly not recommended for younger families. The property owner and his help were a delight to interact with and even took us out for lunch on 2 occasions. We will return because the place suits our lifestyle.

Can't say enough good things about staying at this home and our trip!

First the house was excellent - we immediately felt welcome, comfortable and safe. The host has gone above and beyond to make his guests feel comfortable. The house is extremely and thoughtfully well stocked, far beyond our expectations. But the real star of this stay is the host. He lives nearby and made himself available during our entire stay. He has put together an excellent document for his guests to help them negotiate this area of Costa Rica - driving advice, interesting things to do and see nearby, places to shop for groceries and to eat out, even how to deal with Covid rules Costa Rica and for return flights. He was available to help us get to the airport as well as help us with our return. Some of the highlights of our trip was a tour of the Toucan Rescue Center, a coffee tour, an amazing lecture on the history and flavors of chocolate, and simply walking around the area around the house, people watching.

Best Host! Amazing windows and views!

We spent an entire month here and wish we could live here full time! The home is located on the second story, and with all of the huge glass windows it feels like you are in the tree tops! Lighting is amazing as there are skylights throughout in addition to the huge windows. You can relax and watch all sorts of butterflies and birds pass by your living room. Steven is an incredible host to say the least! He is extremely knowledgable after having moved to Costa Rica some 30 years ago. He is extremely kind and a great conversationalist. The house is stocked with everything you could need, and is located north of San Jose. We walked everyday and felt like residents. When you decide to stay the farmer's market in San Isidro is a must! We tried all sorts of fruits and veggies during our stay and went every Sunday to get our shopping done for the week! Don't miss Riverside pizza, the Tucan Rescue center, and all of the other wonderful recommendations Steven will give you!

Very knowledgeable and hospitable host

Fantastic 300 degree views. Some beautiful sunsets. Lush vegetation. Lots of birds. We got tours and directions and great suggestions from Steve both before we arrived and during our stay. The Sunday San Isidro farmers’ market, the beautiful gardens at the Bougainville Hotel (excellent restaurant there) and the Sibo chocolate factory (excellent restaurant there too) were highlights of our stay with Steve as our guide. Cool temps while we were there. Nice breezes and good sleeping weather. All the amenities we could have needed were available. We highly recommend this house and host.

Fantastic host

Steven’s property is everything described in the listing and more. The unit is extremely well equipped, bright, spacious and comfortable. Steven is careful in the listing and his arrival orientation to ensure guests are informed on all aspects of their accommodation, from the 20 steps up to the unit to the little hill on the 5 minute walk to the main road. We’re big walkers in our early and late 60’s and had no problem at all walking the area for exercise though see it could be a bit challenging for some. There are many interesting attractions a short drive from the home and Steven provided a very thorough summary of them. Definitely felt like a home away from home. Thanks Steven

Best home ever

We lived here for almost three months and it was the best stay we've ever had. Steven is the perfect host, and provided everything we could have wanted for our stay in his beautiful house. If we mentioned something, he would have it for us immediately. The house is a dream, up in the treetops, with birds all around. The interior is open, spacious, bright and airy, with views in all directions. The two bedrooms are spacious and well appointed with comfortable queen-size beds and en-suite large bathrooms with tubs! You rarely find bathtubs in Costa Rica. The furniture throughout is comfortable and attractive. The kitchen is the nicest of all the homes we've stayed at. Fully equipped for any cooking or entertaining. The appliances were outstanding--big fridge, good cooktop, great convection oven, even a dishwasher. All the windows have screens, a rarity, so lots of breezes but no bugs. There are three balconies plus a sunroom with an exercise bike we used daily. The sunroom also made a wonderful bedroom for visiting grandkids with the addition of air mattresses that are provided. We absolutely love this property, and hope to stay again later this year. We now consider Steven a friend, and felt so welcomed.

The owner, Steve, was way past helpful. He offered to drive us to all of the nearby locations listed in his information document. Two trips to san jose, the ark herb farm, toucan rescue, britt coffee, chocolate factory and more. We give 6 stars out of 5. His information on the background of tico life was invaluable.

Fabulous bird house and host

My Wife and I just came back from a very enjoyable almost one month stay at Steven's wonderfull house in Santo Domingo, Herdia , Costa Rica. The House is better than described , very spacious overlooking the treetops and hills of Costa Rica with decks on all sides. Birds galour, you will be kept busy if this is your interest. Completly equipped kitchen , several coffee makers nothing is lacking. Picture windows all around allowed my wife age 78 and myself age 83 to enjoy the constantly changing treetop view. The surrounds are great filled with different flowers bannana trees etc. We where on a budget and with the use of Steves older car and his very knowledgeable advise we where able to get around to see many great local attractions which are outlined in Steves extensive oneline files he sent us. Extremly helpfull even after our personal research. We also took buses to west Coast Antonio park and beaches, to the north, Fortuna and Cana Negra boat trip on the Nicaraguan border. A word about our host Steven. We have done a bit of traveling in the past and have 20 years Airline service. Steven is at the top of the many Hosts we have met over the years. Extremely knowledgeable about things Costa Rican, a kind and caring person , he left no stone unturned in making us feel welcomed and he made our trip a sucess. A wonderfull, host and a fabulous house and experience. Thanks Steve . Joanne and Ed

Birders paradise!

We are birders so we’re just thrilled with this location. We sat out each morning on the balcony at 5:30AM to drink our coffee, watch the sun come up and watch the birds start their day. We did a bird list of 106 different birds so were very pleased. Steve was the best host! He took us for drives around the area to show us the sites of interest and out for lunch several times. We never had a car but Steve made sure we got to the grocery store and back. The house is as beautiful as the pictures with places to sit out in all directions. The beds were comfortable, as was the furniture. There is everything needed for a lengthy stay. We spent a enjoyable month here in the tree tops and want to thank Steve very much!

Description of property and area is much better than promised!

Katty and I had the pleasure of staying at Steve's place from Jan 1st through the 19th. Steve was more than helpful. He gave us a guided tour of the local area and sights to see. When we traveled on our own he also made suggestions on the best route for scenery. If you are looking for paradise and perfect weather, this is the place for you. From the mountains to the beaches, Costa Rica is that place. Steve's house is centrally located with beautiful views. The house is very clean, bright and well maintained. I really cannot not provide justice to the accommodations or the hospitality we experienced. Please do not hesitate in making this selection, you will have a dream vacation. We will be returning, I could not imagine finding a better host and country. Thank you Steve for a great time! Brian and Katty.

Great place to stay as a family!

We really enjoyed this place and felt right at home staying in this gated two bedroom house in Heredia province. It's very spacious and has lots of amenities. Our boys enjoyed running in the yard. The central location provides easy access to other parts of Costa Rica and supermarkets/restaurants were within a 15-minute drive. We appreciated being picked up at the airport by Carlos and Agnes. We would definitely stay there again when we return to Costa Rica.

Great first time in Costa Rica

House was great. Very spacious and clean. Nice views from the windows. Steve (the owner) was an incredible guy who can answer all your questions. He took us out a few times and was a great tour guide. The weather was a bit rainy when we were there.Would recommend this house.

Beautiful home in the Central Valley

Steve was a fantastic host, and the house is spacious and beautiful. Many things to see and do in the area. You can view all sorts of birds just from the windows and balconies. It’s in a very safe neighborhood, and if you don’t mind walking up and down hills, you can easily walk to get groceries. The kitchen is very well equipped and we cooked most of our meals there. But if you prefer to eat out, there are dozens of restaurants. We liked Sibu Cafe (the Chocolate Factory), the Hotel Bougainvillea, and the Bromeliad Restaurant. We also highly recommend the Britt Coffee Tour and the Toucan Rescue Ranch. We stayed a week and never ran out of things to do. Loved the three balconies!

Our family loved it here. It was a perfect match for all 5 of us! The views were incredible.

Our family stayed here for 2 weeks. The house was in the perfect location for everything we wanted to do and very close to friends who lived in Heredia. The sounds of the birds in the morning were so inviting and the open space and all of the windows made it feel like we were in paradise. The owner had many brochures and written notes of places close by that we could visit. This was very nice. I already miss the mountain views surrounding the house. I will definitely recommend this house for any future family or friends who would like to visit Costa Rica. Pura Vida, Tuanis!

Om værten

Vært: Steven Huffstutlar

Værtens profilbillede
I am retired from overseas consulting work in agriculture and road projects. I grew up in California (BA from UC Berkeley 1968). I have managed my own rentals for 30+ years. I have lived in Costa Rica for 26 of the past 38 years, having come here in 1984 to manage an agricultural project for the US Embassy. I spend part of the year in California with the grandchildren. I have gone through all the residency requirements for Costa Rica and can offer general and residency advice about visiting and living in Costa Rica (I will e-mail you my personal 40 page Central Valley tourist guide once you book). Since retiring in 2007 I built this passive solar teak-lined house surrounded by mountains, forest, vast skies and rainbows, with inside temperatures in the high 70's-F/23-26-C year round. No need for air conditioning or heat, inside temperatures are adjusted by opening and closing screened windows for cooling by mild natural breezes.

Derfor valgte værten dette overnatningssted

I lived at the beach in Costa Rica (Manuel Antonio) and after a couple of years found the hot weather was uncomfortable and getting gradually worse. Then I moved to 900 meters altitude in San Antonio de Belen (Cariari) and found temperatures there were also uncomfortable. This house location at about 1150 meters altitude (3700 ft) has great weather and is close to San Jose area attractions, and is much less crowded, hot and congested than the other side of the valley such as Santana and Rohrmoser-Escazu. I left California's urban congestion to find an idyllic place like this. Located at the end of a paved quiet country lane between two rivers, the surrounding properties on three sides are undeveloped farms or private gardens. We are visited by flocks of noisy green parrots during parts of the year, along with occasional Montezuma's oropendulas, mot mots and orioles (see the full birds sighted list in the property description). This is the resident nesting territory of the Great Kiskadee, yellow flycatchers, brown and white jays, yiguirros (Clay Colored Robins, the Costa Rican national bird) and powder blue tanagers. Buzzards and hawks patrolling our two nearby rivers treat us to flying ballets all day long. To the north a 3-mile/5-km stretch of the mountains of the Braulio Carrillo Park is visible with its constantly changing crown of passing clouds coming and going. To the east we see the Irazu volcano and to the south the mountains behind San Jose. To the west we see sunsets from the second bedroom balcony. We have impressive rainbows often on all sides.

Derfor er dette overnatningssted unikt

This house has amazing views from high panoramic windows and 3 roofed balconies. Please note there are 20 steps up to the house with a sturdy handrail. We have 300 Mbps fiber optic internet, and a separate 100 Mbps backup internet, both exclusive to this house. The property's grounds below have lawns and a riot of colorful flowers year round. The house has 16 skylights, some in every room and the hot water is solar heated with electric backup for rainy days. The roomy master bedroom has its own colorfully tiled bathroom with skylight, Delta shower and granite-topped solid teak commode. The second bedroom has its own colorfully tiled bathroom with tub and Delta shower, skylight and granite topped solid teak commode. Each bedroom has a ceiling fan (seven ceiling fans total) and its own private, roofed balcony. The queen beds have teak frames, high count US cotton sheets and colorful handmade Guatemalan bedspreads. The all glass sunroom catches early morning sun and has a stationary exercise bike. Full set of US appliances, including a dishwasher, all cooking and kitchen utensils, espresso maker, coffee grinder, rice cooker, convection oven, air fryer, and 49 inch smart TV and DVD player. We have cable TV and two kinds of wi-fi internet (300 Mbps and 100Mbps) working simultaneously to run all your devices. Wifi reaches every room. New curtains in bedrooms, 3 desks, two with great views. Covered parking for two cars. Has 20 steps up to front door. Sleeps 4 plus couch.
