Spending holiday only a few meters from the water on a wonderful beach in a beautiful house. The host is caring and we can really recommend this place for everyone who loves the sea and the beach.
Traditional older beach home ... super cool.. great location very friendly staff .. Rented the place to get out of the hustle of Santa Teresa .. stayed 3 nights.. Montezuma is still a laid back Costa Rican beach town

Located directly on the beach south end of Montezuma- short walk to all services. Sound of the ocean lulls you to sleep, although there's a couple of places within earshot that will sometimes have louder music (not when we were there.)
We fell in love with the house and the location. The owners were very responsive should we need anything. The location can’t be beat. Right downtown and right on the beach. We can’t wait to come back!
From the moment we booked this place we knew it would be great! The hosts were very communicative, kind and so helpful! This home had everything we needed and more! The location of this home was amazing and we enjoyed being right on the beach!
We will definitely be back!
Ivan’s house is exactly as described, little piece of heaven right in beach. In the middle of montezuma town. It’s hot in montezuma but the air conditioning worked wonderful. The sunsets and nearby restaurants were great.
Beautiful home right on the beach right next to Montezuma down town. We had a wonderful stay here waking up to the beach front seeing the sunrise and swimming in the amazingly warm Pacific Ocean. The host was great and we even got to meet Ivan. Thank you for our amazing stay in Montezuma at Ivan’s house!!
The photos don’t do it justice. Truly a special place with the best location on the best beach in CR. And very great service from Francesca and others. Will definitely be back. ¡Pura vida!
This unit we rented was very clean. The bountiful gardens was well taken care of and its flora attracted a variety of birds and butterflies. Max was an exceptional host and responded immediately to any needs that arose.

Thanks for your review. Hope you enjoyed your time.
We had an amazing stay in Montezuma. Ivan’s House felt like a second home to us - it was perfectly located and had all the amenities we needed. It felt quaint and nostalgic, the perfect place to experience the culture of Montezuma. Francesca made our check in process very smooth and was very hospitable. Zuma Tour’s was very professional and helpful in booking our transportation needs and experiences. 5 star experience!
we loved this property, perfectly located on the beach, and just close enough to town. Francesca was great to work with, she started the stay the day before with a pin to tell us the exact location, she was there to greet us and show us the house, she set us up with the tortuga island tour. First class operation all the way. We Will Be Back.

Such a wonderful place! Communication with Francesca and Giulia was easy and clear. The house is right on the beach and easy walk to shops (especially loved the fruit/vegetable stand almost across the street. Get up early at least once to watch the sunrise right out the door. Beach out front is calm for swimming so a little busy. Other more secluded places are within walking distance

Fantastic Place for a Real Vacation
I went to Montezuma with my family during Eastern. Ivan's House is more beautiful in person. The house is very comfortable, with a full kitchen and cable TV. But what made our vacation memorable was the warm and personal attention we received from Ivan and his wife, from information to organizing tours for us, and who can forget those wonderful lobsters that he brought one afternoon along with the recipe for the perfect pasta with a creamy lobster sauce! We can wait to go back.

My friends and I had a great time at Ivan's place and in Montezuma. Waking up to the waves and a wonderful beach view every day was amazing. Ivan was very helpful and overall a great host. We used his tour company Zuma Tours, a couple of times for a boat trip and ziplining. The Zuma Tour staff were all very nice people and provided a great experience.
The house is right in town so mornings tend to be somewhat noisy, but having such close access to town and the beach made it worth it for us.
The location was excellent and the home was perfect. Just what you would hope for in an open air home on the beach with incredible sunrises and view of the water every morning! Convenient to walk to any store, restaurant or bar the small town has to offer. Can enjoy hearing some evening music from local outdoor areas, but not too loud. In comparison to Santa Teresa, Montezuma was a great quiet, less crowded beach and town to stay--glad we made this choice. Highly recommend it!
Ivan’s house was just as described. You open the front gate and you’re on the beach. You don’t need a car if you want to hang around town or go to the beach. Stores and restaurants are a very short walking distance. Zuma tours is on the same property so tours are a no brainer if you want to book a trip to Tortuga island or something else fun. There is a hostel next door but we were pleasantly surprised by how little noise there was. The air conditioned bedrooms were much appreciated because it was very hot. We enjoyed drinking wine on the porch hammocks with the roar of the ocean and a stunning view.

Thanks for your beautiful review. Hope to have you back soon! Pura Vida
We wanted a beach house. That is exactly what we got. The house is very open and right next to the beach ( could walk barefoot to the ocean). It is rustic but very clean. AC in bedrooms was good except the upstairs bedroom struggled a bit with 118 degree heat index days. Owners were very responsive. If we ever return, we will certainly try to reserve this property again. It was relaxing, close to great restaurants, reasonable kitchen for cooking our own breakfasts and the beautiful beach was never crowded. Like I said, for what we were looking for it was perfect.

Amazing location but could use some love
The location is right on the beach and super central in tiny Montezuma. It is close to the river as well. It is a very open house without screens nor ceiling fans which would be fine if there was a strong ocean breeze, but there is not. It is right in a protective cove with very little breeze. That's why we have to give this 3 stars =( It's a shame because if there would be adequate mosquito protection it would be an amazing place to stay.

Thanks for your review, just to make it clear that we have 3 bedrooms and each one with air conditioning, if your main concern has been the mosquitos, as it was, the first thing to do is avoid to seat on the beach at the early morning and at the sunset because this is the hours where sun flyes bite you.
There are no mosquitos at my place due because we disinfected it every 2 days (when cleanliness is done) and not even one in the bedrooms due air-conditioned and mosquito nets on the beds.
I will never put a mosquito screen at the windows due to the fact of the beauty of this house is the open space we offer.
Actually, there are reviews from other customers telling how they loved the open spaces we have at Ivans house.
Talking about love, as I wrote to VRBO support, I am sad to tell you that you have been the worst customer we have ever had, your arrogance and miss respect for my house first and for all my employes which tried to please you in anything you asked... and you asked a lot, plus your constant hungry mood have been for all my crew a nightmare.
Your kids have cut leaves of all my cactus and dug in the garden, why this ?? Why you could not control your kids and set some rules, what funny in bringing a lot of sand and shells into the house, what funny in moving all my furniture, all around the house, taking out from the kitchen drawers all knives, forks and throw them in the shelves all around the house.
What funny in cutting papers and cartoons and spread them out all over the garden and the house..what funny in making all my furniture dirty as the outside chairs, pillows and hammocks.
We are making a living since 2006 my friend, we have been living in this house up than 10 years, my 2 daughters born there and is not fair actuating as a vandal, you can not talk about love.... you could have studied in a good university but you have not learned the most important things, education, respect, and humility as you have demonstrated during your journey at my place, you were way far away to understand those simple rules. Where do you live and how do you live??
I hope you 'll get this clear and please do not treat any other vacation rental house as you have been treating mine,
God bless you
In peace, PURA VIDA

Waking up to the sound of the ocean and being able to walk right onto the beach from the yard is wonderful. The staff at Zuma Tours are very nice and helpful. The house is within walking distance to restaurants, groceries, bars, shopping....pretty much whatever you may want/need. Being so close to everything, you can sometimes hear the goings on in town but it didn't bother us. We really enjoyed our stay at Ivan's House. Montezuma is a laid back beach town that is an excellent place to get away. We did a fishing trip and bioluminescence tour with Zuma Tours. They were amazing experiences! We got to see humpback whales, dolphins, and sea turtles on the fishing trip! Tortuga Island is beautiful and swimming in the bioluminescent water is so cool! I highly recommend booking a tour with Zuma Tours.
At first glance, the house is super cute. The patio and the views are stunning. I could (and did) sit on the patio for hours a day. It was clean when we checked in and the person who greeted us was great. It’s also very central to the little village (1 minute walk to restaurants and supermarket) and to Zuma tours for excursions.
Downsides - the beach here is pretty littered. You can’t really tell from the gorgeous patio view, but when you leave the patio,it’s littered with driftwood and garbage. That’s not the fault of this vrbo or the host.
There was also a person in a tent living 10 feet from our back door on the beach, which was odd and slightly disturbing.
The host was available after check in and very nice.
The WiFi was down during our stay.
The place is largely open air which is magnificent for the views, but know that the kitchen has a monumental ant issue that makes it difficult to cook.
We loved our stay at Ivan's place! The house is steps from the ocean and the beach out front is a beautiful and lively scene. The house is walking distance from several other beaches where we saw capuchin monkeys swinging through the palms. There are some great restaurants very nearby where you can sip a cocktail and enjoy the panoramic views of the ocean.
The location is amazing. 1 minute walk from corner store / grocery store (has absolutely everything you may need (food, drink, sunscreen, etc) and all of the restaurants. The proximity to thr beach was the best.we found the water to be best in the morning (less waves and most blue /transparent). Can walk easily to the water falls (we did the trick with 3 young kids). Francesca was very helpful and easy to contact via whats app. Lots of backpackers because of hotels around (not a bad thing) and lots of young families. Overall we were extremely happy with our stay.
