Holiday rentals near Mike's Jungle Butterfly Farm

Everything just as shown/described on the advertisement and by other reviewers. April has ensured there is everything you could possibly need from beach towels and snorkel gear to the essential foods for when you arrive. She has her own property on the grounds but the house is totally private and secure. The pool is perfect for cooling off after a day’s trekking or being in the beach. The house allows for views of the sea from every room. Sunsets every night! I will miss that. We really enjoyed our evening swims gazing up at the stars after being out all day. House and location are perfect and April is the perfect host. The beach is a 10 minute walk away or 5 minute drive. You will need a 4 wheel drive not only for the Emerald Abode but for Santa Teresa. Highly recommend you choose to stay here if coming to the area. We plan to come back and stay longer next time and I wouldn’t choose anywhere other than Emerald Abode to stay. out all day.

Perfect location directly on the beach, walking distance to restaurants and shops. Comfy rooms and great shared living space. The pool in the center is a bit of a hazard as the walkways are slick when wet. We built a fire on the beach and put up a volleyball net right in front, which was fantastic. The waves are rowdy in the area, but the kids loved playing in the sand and shallow area of the pool is perfect. We called a chef to cook for us one night which was a highlight. Great place, would go back!

This is a fantastic property. It is secluded and is right on the beach with its own beach area with table hammocks etc. Very modern and well kitted out. Pool was clean and a good size. The property is located on the outskirts of Santa Teresa and a taxi is generally required which is organised by the property rep. That was the only gripe we had that it costs about $20 each way. For such a short distance it felt too much and a bit of a rip off. However don’t be put off by that just figure into your budget. There are 4 staff who tend this property. Security person overnight, who also ensures the critters such as racoons stay clear. The property rep deals with whatever you need locally, the Wester tends the gardens and around during the day, and Julia the cleaning and bedrooms. They were all brilliant. A word about the wildlife. Monkeys pass by frequently and you hear them. Lots of birds and iguanas, and the racoons do visit so don’t leave food around. The sea is very rough at the property so be careful. It is quiet but that makes it special. Santa Teresa is a surfing village and has an untarmac’d dusty road. Good restaurants and not developed. We went fishing arranged by Lucy, and was $320 for 4 hours with a boat for 6 all to ourselves. This property was worth every £ $ or whatever currency you earn your living with.

It isn’t often that the photos of a holiday rental live up to expectations but this one really does VILLA VISTA is stunning the views hit us as soon as we walked through the door although we didn’t spend any time indoors the house was beautiful and had everything you need we didn’t want to leave. Overall our holiday was fantastic

A stunning peaceful location with an incredible view. Easy access to Montezuma with great recommendations for restaurants, beaches etc. Lokita the most charming and sensitive hostess. Great to relax, swim in pool, read on private balcony. Great yoga session! Thank you Lokita for sharing your very special tropical paradise.
