About this property

Above the Gulf House: Spectacular Ocean View!

Surrounded by the forest the house is set off the ground and has huge windows to give it spectacular views of the forest canopy and Nicoya Gulf. Big rooms and Queen size beds provide comfort, plus all the essentials and more are provided. The house is large enough for a family but also perfect for a couples romantic get-away. Located close to town but extremely private it is ideal as a base to enjoy all of Monteverdes attractions and is an attraction in itself that provides the peace to rest after a full day of activities.

As mentioned the house is located on a large property, there are other rent houses on the property but out of shouting distance to provide each with privacy. Just up the road from the property there are several restaurants, a couple small supermarkets, art galleries and souvenir shops. Also in the area there are several attractions such as private reserves, a butterfly garden, night tours and others.

The space

The house is located on a 27 acre property which guests can explore as they wish, providing them the opportunity to see lots of the local flora and fauna without having to book a tour or drive anywhere.

Interaction with guests

Our hostess will confirm your reservation, meet you for check in and help with any questions you might have about the house, the area, tour options, dining suggestions on anything else you might need. We will leave you to yourself once checked in but are available at any moment for any questions or help you may need.

Other things to note

As a note the sofa bed lacks privacy because it is located in the living area but not comfort since it has a double bed mattress on it.

This property has a security camera outside, facing the garage.

Great house for family or 4 plus people in Monteverde!
Beautiful house with a great view! You feel out in nature and even the monkeys came right up to the house one afternoon. Nice walking trails and good food nearby. Close to zip lining and the cloud forest.

This property was super unique and really amazing. The view of the Gulf of Nicoya was beautiful. My wife and I stayed there with our 8 and 5 year old daughters. This place was plenty big enough for all of us. It had an awesome balcony that wrapped around the whole house. The house is very secluded, but its not far from great locations. The house was modern with cool wood crafted tables and countertops. The Cloud Forest and the Children's Eternal Rain Forest are short drives. There is also a small grocery store that is close by. We didn't really go into the main part of town for anything. Don Luis, Stella's Bakery and Morpho's restaurant were some of our favorite eateries, that were close by. The host of the property Danielle is wonderful. She communicates with you as much as you need her, and will give you recommendations and can even set you with tour guides. I would highly recommend this place for anyone traveling to Monteverde. I also high recommend Monteverde, for anyone visiting Costa Rica.

Wonderful family holiday
My family of 4 stayed for 3 nights. Daniela made us breakfast 2 of the mornings at Abuelo’s Hangout to help us get out the door early for our scheduled activities. One was quite early for a guided hike with George, which she helped arrange. We did 2 hikes with George- can’t say enough other than book it now! Super fun, informative and just a great time. The view from the house is amazing. My tween and teen enjoyed having separate rooms. On our last morning, we were greeted by a family of capuchin monkeys. Thank you for sharing this gem!
