We enjoyed the local vibe in the area, was quiet and safe. The property was great and we enjoyed our time there. Thank you for everything.
This was the perfect space for us to enjoy our last night in Costa Rica. Jeffery was great and his home is beautiful! Would definitely recommend this property.
We arrived after a red-eye flight and although we only stayed the day and one night it was an amazing place. The home is beautiful, rooms comfortable and kids enjoyed the play area. The pool and waterfall were so relaxing and enjoyable. We wished we could have stayed longer. I would recommend this home to anyone, but for a family it could t have been better! Contacting the Jeff, the host , was easy on WhatsApp. He was receptive and replied quickly. We truly enjoyed our time.
We stayed at this home for two nights to be closer to the airport before flying out of San José, and it was just what we needed. The property manager was fantastic—very responsive and communicative every step of the way. The location was ideal, only about 20–25 minutes from the airport, which made travel day so much easier.We really enjoyed the pool and the lush, tropical grounds—it was a peaceful and relaxing spot to unwind. The house itself worked well for our short stay. If I had to offer any suggestions, it would be to consider a few updates to the home and provide some additional bedding, especially if you plan to use the air conditioning at night.That said, the property served its purpose perfectly, and we would definitely stay again!
This house was great for our 2 night stay after exploring other regions of Costa Rica before we flew home. The host was super communicable and the house was just as described. We enjoyed our relaxing stay!
Our family stayed here for a week in June, and while we loved the pool and location, we also noticed the home needs some TLC and general repairs throughout (patio doors don't fully shut/lock, toilet seats that don't fit and move when using, cracked window, broken tiles and pans that have teflon peeling off to name a few). Despite needing repairs, we loved swimming each day, close proximity to the wildlife refuge and cute neighboring towns like Sarchi and eating at Casa Mia a few minutes down the road. The owner Jeff was also easy to get in contact with and quick to respond to questions.Also, important to note, the jacuzzi is not a hot one (this is the case with many in Costa Rica, but I didn't know until I arrived) and if you want to use the laundry you will need to pay a fee for the cleaning ladies to do it for you.All in all, it's a cool spot to stay, and with a little maintenance could be an excellent place to stay.
Lovely private home in gated community so felt very safe. Great communication with owner. There are 3 bedrooms with queen beds, in the description it does show one room with 2 singles, not the case, but we made do! Great restaurant, Casa Mia close by I would recommend for dinner.
Beautiful property amazing landscape, the pictures that you see online is just what you get when you stay here. The home has a resort appeal if you are just wanting to relax and enjoy the beautiful pool and the outdoor kitchen with a view of the hills and mountains around you. Nice to take morning walks in the neighborhood after a good yoga stretch and warm up.
Hidden Paradise is a peaceful oasis. A large, roomy residence and safe enough to have all the doors and windows open to benefit from the lvely breeze. No air conditioner needed. The kitchen on the dark side but opening the garage door somewhat brightens the day. Kitchen utensils, glass wear could us a bit of TLC. The garden a true oasis to spend the day in.
My group really enjoyed our stay here! It is a very impressive and expansive property with lots of great amenities. Jeffery was very responsive when I had questions during my stay
We really enjoyed this home. Plenty of indoor space for a family of 7 with lots of bathrooms. The most outstanding part is an amazing backyard area with a gorgeous pool. Very safe and secure as well. 15-20 minutes from San Jose airport.
This was way better than we expected. The pictures barely do the propert justice. Super great house with immaculate yard and pool, extra seating outside and outdoor kitchen facility. Only with I could have stayed longer! The owner was very helpful and responsive. Highest recommendation from myself and my friends who came with ne.
Beautiful back yard! 20 min to airport! Hidden paradise indeed!
This is a great property super close to the airport. The backyard pool area has everything you need to hang out and enjoy friends and family.
Beds are comfortable and has awesome wood accents throughout. Highly recommend!
