À propos de cet hĂ©bergement

The Lookout. A nature lovers paradise.

Imagine waking up to the sounds of the jungle. The characteristic call of a toucan. Or the roar of a group of howler monkeys coming from the nearby trees. Then stepping out of bed, opening the sliding doors to step out on the porch and see the breathtaking view this beautiful property offers. Is there a better way to start your day?

If you are looking for an off the beaten path private paradise to enjoy the best Costa Rica has to offer, the Lookout is the place for you.
The property is located in the little town of Zaragoza and its borders the nature reserve Madre Verde (ideal for hiking, we offer guided hikes). We offer a perfect hideaway in the midst of nature. The jungle literally starts at the back of the property.


The house has been built to fit itÂŽs surroundings, making it a part of the jungle. The beautiful wooden porch covers the whole front of the house and offers an amazing view. The house has 4 bedroom and 3 bathrooms. All bedrooms have double beds.
There are 2 bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms that have access to the porch through sliding doors. On the other side of the house there are 2 more bedrooms with a shared bathroom in between. The main area has an open kitchen in it and the seating area where you can watch TV. The porch also has enough comfortable seating to relax and enjoy the beautiful view and surroundings.

From the porch you can walk down to the pool area that is located in front of the house. There is a good sized pool as well as a smaller and shallow pool that is great for kids to play in. At the corner of the pool deck there is a nice gazebo with a fridge and a grill in it. At the back of the property there is a covered area with another grill. An ideal spot to read a book while lying in your hammock. If you are lucky you will see the howler monkeys passing by

On the grounds there are variety of fruit trees and you are more than welcome to pick the fruits.

Our experienced property management team is ready to make your stay the best it can be. Piet and Yvonne, a multilingual (English. Spanish, Dutch and German) couple from the Netherlands will contact you after booking. During your stay they are always just a phone call away.
As an additional service to our house guests, they offer fee- based airport transfers to help you avoid the potential hassles you can experience in getting from and to the property on your travel days
They also provide car rentals and a variety of quality tours. They can arrange for you to have your fridge stocked with your favorite groceries upon arrival, or have a home cooked meal ready for you on your arrival day. For special occasions they can have a local chef come to the house to prepare a gourmet dinner. What to think of a relaxing massage at the property, it can all be arranged. After booking they will reach out to you to provide all the information you need.

In the house you will find a guest manual that gives you all the information that you need on the property, the town of Zaragoza and the nearby town of Atenas (restaurants, shops, medical assistance) and the extra services offered to out guests.

The Lookout is ideal for families or friends who are a bit adventurous and love to be in nature. The Lookout is a bit off the beaten path, but easy to reach. A 4x4 vehicle is recommended for the last part of the road to the house. In the vicinity of the house there are a number of supermarkets and good restaurants. In Palmares, only 3 miles away you will find a variety of shops and restaurants. The lovely town of Atenas is only 6 miles away.
The Lookout is also perfectly located to explore the highlights of Costa Rica.

The view is amazing especially on the morning with the sunriseWe saw beautiful birdsA lot of towel were available.Neighborhood Is nice and safe. Air in the house is very high moisture content. The two rooms at the back of the house do not see the sun so the air is very chilly. The kitchen accessories are very basic and could be improve.

Our second visit
. Spacious, fun place with lots of little places to enjoy
 the ranchero, a gazebo with a grill, the privately tucked away balcony with a city lights view, the sunrises above the constantly moving fog in the mountains. Piet the host was very kind and patient as we settled in a little later than expected. Always appreciated! Fabulous array of toucans visiting daily as was the cattle egret a joy to discover.

Rainforest Rebel – Sleep Wild, Wake Wilder

This VRBO was an absolute gem! Tucked away in a quiet, scenic location, it offered stunning views and an incredible connection with nature—we saw so much wildlife right from the property. The home itself had everything we needed, with all the amenities to make our stay comfortable and relaxing.The price was surprisingly affordable, especially given how beautiful and well-maintained everything was. Restaurants and grocery stores were conveniently close, making it easy to stock up and explore the area.The drive in is definitely part of the adventure—slightly rugged but absolutely worth it for the experience that awaits. Plus, the management team was extremely responsive and helpful throughout our stay. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a peaceful jungle retreat with just the right amount of adventure!

Family vacay

Had a great time in Costa Rica! House was lovely and pretty much had all we needed. Communication with house managers could have been better at times but everything worked out. Accuracy of online listing is a 4 because the listing said one thing but when I asked about it, I was told it “must’ve been a mistake” and the listing was changed before I snapped proof that it was there.

Séjour agréable.

Vue merveilleuse. Calme. Environnement trĂšs agrĂ©able.Cependant, la piscine est Ă  18 degrĂ©s ce qui pour nous l’a rendu inutilisable.Le nombre de couverts est franchement insuffisant.Enfin, l’éclairage dans la cuisines et piĂšce de vie n’est vraiment pas suffisant. Nous avons du mettre le lampadaire sur la table pour y voir Ă  peu prĂšs lors des repas.

True Paradise

It was my first trip to Costa Rica and after a 9 day photo tour my friends and I stayed here for rest and enjoyment. It was the perfect place for this! The view was magnificent and I could have stayed longer than the 4 nights we booked as it was so peaceful and glorious. The beds were comfortable and the bathrooms lovely with their stone walls. My favorite place was the long veranda that overlooked the pool and faced the view. I spent plenty of time in the hammock and we watched the lights flicker on across the expanse as the moon rose over the hills. At times the clouds were cotton candy pink with the setting sun. The property manager, Piet, was the perfect host and driver for the tours we wanted to take and provided a luxury of information on any subject we required. He also picked us up and delivered us to San Jose for our flights. I loved my stay here so much I fantasized about buying the house and living here part time. But I would make the pool heated in that case!

Herrlicher Ausblick

Sehr schönes Haus in ruhiger Lage mit allem was man fĂŒr einen entspannten Urlaub braucht. Es liegt an einem steilen Berg auf 1.200m Höhe, empfiehlt sich also zum Akklimatisieren zu Beginn oder auch wieder am Ende einer Tour durch Costa Rica. Die Anfahrt lĂ€sst sich auch ohne Allrad bewerkstelligen, ist aber etwas steil. DafĂŒr entschĂ€digt die Aussicht. Das Team das sich um das Haus kĂŒmmert ist auch sonst immer ansprechbar und hilfsbereit, großes Lob und Empfehlung!

Awesome familiar gataway.

The place was so amazing, with its majestic views and amenities. The drive up to this please on it own its an adventure, be sure to get a 4x4 vehicle, And use a loca gps app (i recomend Waze). Google maps send us up a wrong hill and caused us to get stuck in the mud. Likely the property managers came to our aid and got us out of the pickle, thanks very much Hugo and family. For any outdoors lovers, for does looking for tue PURA VIDA experience, we totally recommend the lookout casita at the edge of civilization.

Amazing Views and Immersed in Nature!

Everything about this property was wonderful! We stayed 8 nights and couldn't wait to step outside as the sun came up, to admire the view. We loved hearing and seeing birds and wildlife from the various outdoor sitting areas. We had a rental car and did various outings within 1-2 hours drive from the house including to Poas Volcano, to the coast, Blue Falls, Eco Bungee, as well as explored the nearby small towns. This place is great if you want to get away from the busy areas and close to nature.

The perfect get-away

The Lookout Casita is everything we could have imagined. The property was beautiful and the room spacious. We enjoyed coffee on the porch every morning. We had to travel about 1.5hr to get to our excursions but that was ok because we got to see all of the beautiful nature. If you are looking for a place to unwind and just relax this is the perfect spot to be able to do just that! Pura Vida!!

A wonderful retreat house

"The Lookout," as it as aptly named, is at the end of the paved road (which continues as a dirt road further up the mountain) and offers a spectacular view of the central valley, San Jose, and the town of Zaragoza 10 minutes down the mountain. The house has a great deal of character with its rustic wood paneling complemented by a good kitchen and comfortable furniture. If you are a birdwatcher and would like to see and hear Howler Monkeys above your patio, this property will be an excellent choice . The Howlers only visited us once one afternoon, otherwise this is a quiet and private stay. We did not need the assistance of the rental manager (who was very helpful in another property we rented from him), but the caretaker lives a few houses down the road and was very prompt to help when we locker ourselves out of the house.
