Heaven on Earth
We stayed for two weeks in February at this property. The communication with the owner (Juliana) and property caretaker (Anna) was top-rate for the entire stay. It is hard to find photos to do justice to the view. It is simply divine at any time of day. There are birds, birds and more birds of all types. Howling monkeys close by. Pleasant walking along the road that works its way along the high ridges. The house is fully outfitted and has everything a person could need for their stay. Others have mentioned the access road. We were there in the dry season, and the Osa Municipality was working on it. We had no issues with a low-performance rental 4x4. However, I would be trepidatious about staying there during the rainy season. This is primarily due to the road's steepness along the upper section. A high-performance 4x4 with good tires would be very helpful. The area has lovely restaurants (including along the road to the house) If eating out, we did so during daylight hours and, that way, had the pleasure of experiencing the incredible sunset from the pool terrace. My husband and I look forward to returning to the area and will undoubtedly have this fantastic property on our return-to-stay list.

Serenity and Beauty
We had a wonderful stay at mountain jewel villa. The views are breathtaking. The house and the outdoor space were exactly what we needed. The house was equipped with everything we needed to prepare and enjoy meals. And, we were thrilled to find binoculars because this is a bird watchers paradise. Juliana and Ana responded to us quickly and kindly whenever we reached out. Both were amazing! The house was immaculate and the furnishings were beyond comfortable. My only advice to others is to arrive during the day otherwise you might miss a landmark that Juliana will provide to guide you to her lovely home. Thanks to all involved with Mountain Jewel Villa for providing us a peaceful and lovely vacation home. We do hope to return.

Beautiful Views, Challenging drive
Mountain Jewel Villa is a wonderful home, with breathtaking views, that is appointed very well. We thoroughly enjoyed our time at the residence, the pool is incredible, and the surrounding property is well landscaped with tons of plants and fruit trees. However, driving the dirt road to the home was a bigger challenge than we expected, although it is disclosed in the listing. It takes approximately 25 minutes each direction from the Costanera highway (around 8 KM) and the upper section is fairly steep and not well maintained. As long as you have a capable 4x4, and a bit of nerve, it is doable, but it makes going out to dinner, or going to/from town, quite an ordeal. By the end of our stay, we were traveling the road at night without significant issue. There were 2 restaurants along the trail going to the Villa that had positive reviews but we never made it to. There are lots of restaurants in Ojochal, Uvita and Dominical once you make it to the highway. Overall, we found the Villa to be a great mix of mountain views and relaxation. The home has everything you need if you intend to spend the majority of you time relaxing around the property with friends and family. The outdoor grill and rancho are incredible. If you intend to spend your time exploring the surrounding area by car, you may want to find a place a little easier to access from the highway.

Perfection
The drive up to the house is exhilarating with breathtaking views. Driving through the entrance of the property you knew you were entering unique surroundings. The sound of Toucans greet you along with hummingbirds buzzing all around the pool area. The bedrooms at Ciudad Cortes had incredible views, wonderful to wake up to. Such a great place to entertain, inside and out, with everything you need. And to top it all off a infinity pool that makes you feel you can swim right into the ocean. Incredible!

Way off the betten path!
For starters this was a very hard place to find. It's almost 25-30 minuts off of the main road up in the mountains. Comunation could have been a little better. I would strongly suggest setting up a time and place in advance to meet with the manger to follow them up to the house. Once we arrived to the house it was beautiful. The kitchen has everything you need for cooking and their is plenty of seating for all of your guests. Once you step foot out side on the patio and get a look at the ocean you will never want to leave. This home has an amazing out door kitchen with a sink, refrigerator, lots of counter space, tables, chairs and even a gas fire pit table. The pool is also amazing over looking the jungle and looking at the ocean. Keep in mind this house is up the mountain and it's much cooler up there. So if you are looking for a hot shower on those cool nights its not at this house. It has solar water and if it is cloudy witch it usually is the water is only cool.( use the downstairs shower) Also their are neighbors right next door. So if you are looking to be completely alone this is not your house. In general this is a beautiful home with great views and is very well equipped with everything you will need for your stay.
