Our family with a mix of Canadians and Ticos had the BEST time at Casa Cielo Rojo. House and property are gorgeous and Matt was an outstanding host!! Beautiful tropical landscaping and views of both mountains and ocean (at a distance) were highlights… stars were incredible at night!! House and casita are beautifully decorated and made the perfect location for our family meals… Location was super convenient to explore many beaches - with a little bit of a drive. In our experience, a 4x4 vehicle is key to enjoying the property and surrounding areas… We are very grateful to Matt for his attentiveness and responsiveness… we would highly recommend this property!!

We chose the Hills of Portalon, Costa Rica, as the perfect place to build our homes because it offers an unparalleled combination of natural beauty and tranquility. From the moment we discovered this location, we were captivated by its breathtaking ocean and jungle views, as well as the abundant wildlife—toucans, sloths, monkeys, and more—that make every day feel magical. The serene, private setting allows guests to truly unwind, while still being just a 10-minute drive from pristine beaches. Additionally, the Hills of Portalon is ideally situated for adventure seekers, with world-renowned destinations like Manuel Antonio National Park, white water rafting excursions, and the stunning Nauyaca Waterfalls all within easy reach. For us, this unique blend of accessibility, adventure, and peaceful seclusion made it the perfect place to create an unforgettable retreat for our guests.
