We had an amazing family vacation on this property. The views are absolutely breathtaking and we were able to experience the beautiful wildlife of Costa Rica throughout our stay here - right outside if our bedroom door! The owners of the property were so kind and welcoming. They went above and beyond to ensure we had a wonderful stay. 10/10 recommend!

We had a wonderful stay! The property is quiet, secluded, and truly relaxing, with breathtaking ocean views. We enjoyed being surrounded by nature—spotting frogs, toucans, and scarlet macaws was unforgettable. The setting is serene, away from the noise, yet close enough to enjoy the coast. It’s the perfect place to disconnect, recharge, and appreciate the beauty of our Costa Rica. Highly recommended for anyone looking for tranquility and a genuine “pura vida” experience.

This is a very special place. Simply spectacular views in a very tranquil setting. Upon arrival my family and I felt immediately relaxed and energized. Our hosts were incredible and their concierge was just as helpful. A place worth revisiting.

Great place to get away but still close enough to experience Jaco and the surrounding areas. Terrific hosts who were attentive but not omnipresent.

Exceptional Location, Facilities and Hosts

Cannot say enough about this property as it has a fantastic view of the ocean and forest. We ventured out daily to take various tours and always looked forward to returning mid afternoon to enjoy the pool and lounge area. David and Michelle were exceptional hosts and we enjoyed spending time with them. Would not hesitate to stay here again!

An absolute dream!

From the location of the property, to the hosts, to the wildlife and views- we couldn't have asked for a more perfect experience. Michelle and David went above and beyond to ensure our stay was an absolute dream. Close to the beach but a full jungle experience. This property is breath taking and we cannot wait to come back.

David, Michelle were great hosts and made you feel genuinely welcome to their slice of paradise! Co-host Stacey was on point with recommendations and great communicator! The pictures don’t do it justice…10X better in person!! Stop looking and book this place NOW!! PURA VIDA!!!
