Loved the pool and birds!

We stayed at the Casa a week and hated to leave. The pool was private and was the perfect place to have a beverage and watch birds all day long. Meal prep was easy with a well equipped kitchen and gas grill. We could hear Howler monkeys, but never saw them. Nice place.

Great, peaceful and relaxing vacation house

This is my second stay in the house with my family (4 people). The house is very nice, clean and comfortable. The layout and open concept is great and the pool has a very good size. If you plan to cook, the kitchen is very well equipped and has everything you may need to prepare any meal. I would not say that a 4x4 is a must, but it will provide peace of mind when it is rainy. In general the roads that are not paved are well maintained. The house is about 15-20 from the main highway (Costanera), but we like the fact that it is in the mountain, and you see all types of birds, monkeys, etc, right from the back yard/pool, and is very peaceful and private (the next neighbor is probably about 1 km away). The South pacific of Costa Rica does not become as crowded as Guanacaste, and there are beautiful beaches nearby. Within 20-30 mins you can get to about 5-6 beaches (Tortuga, Ballena, Uvita, Dominical, to name a few). The owner and property managers are very responsive and will make sure that you are comfortable and all set up to enjoy your vacation. This is definitively a great place, and you will get a lot for the price, compared with other rentals in the area.

Thank you so much for giving us your honest feedback about our home. It was a pleasure having you for a second time. And I do agree with the 4X4. to a must but great to have especially on wet days. Pura Vida!

Amazing jungle view

You definitely need a 4 x 4 vehicle to get to the property. The property was everything and more than we hoped for. It is in the mountains and you are surrounded by jungle which comes alive very early am. We saw toucans every day, parrots and lots of other birds. We heard the howler monkeys, but never saw them. The home had high end appliances from small to large.It had everything you need. The bed was very comfortable. The pool was amazing. If any issues, the property managers, Jon, Sonya, Karen and Mike are right there. If I had to change one thing, (Very small) it would be a better shower head. Would go back, but someone already booked it..for next Jan and Feb. Loved it there. Ojochal is the culanary capital of Costa Rica.

We were enthralled and all expectations met, we’ve stayed in many AAA+

The property is well designed for 2 couple or a family, beautiful covered patio and pool nice family area, gorgeous view of sky, jungle, small ocean view, uncountable stars, lots of talkative wildlife! Ideal for private relaxation or family time! Hated to leave after 2 weeks— decompressed!

A Real Adventure!!!

The property is fabulous and beautifully maintained and it’s remote location and privacy were just the ticket. They aren’t joking when they say you need a 4x4! Every day new birds and wildlife would visit from toucans, hummingbirds, iguanas and pizotes in the day to cane toads, frogs, bats, spiders and snakes at night. Over the duration of our 6 month stay we had storms (no power), hurricane Nate ( no road) and an earthquake - fantastic!!! To summarise - we absolutely love the place and the local people!!!
