Casita Tucan
It was truly wonderful experience . 2 things that Need improvement . Just giving Waze to us was not enough . The first group found the place because it was day time , but the group 2 came at night and could not find us . We had to go back out . Google is accurate but not exact at times . Also someone could welcome the group . We need to figure out everything by ourselves . Maybe check on for towels and how to get rid off the garbage or recycling . If there is a care taker maybe he could come and check. We had to request things every other day . However it was a great experience

Hope to be back!
This space is amazing. A short walk down to a market, restaurants, and shopping. The hill up and back is definitely steep! Daily the howler monkeys came and hung out in the trees by the house and we got to see a plethora of nature including the dart frog, a sloth, agouti, and a ton of different bird varieties! Bring binoculars! Rooms were comfortable and spacious. The kitchen was well stocked with cooking tools, etc. The property manager was communicative, responded and addressed concerns quickly! The location is very private and peaceful. There are a few things I would have liked to have known before going. The photos of the house are slightly outdated especially the pool table which has multiple rips in the fabric. While we were there multiple individuals came and went from the house including the pool service which comes three times a week, the maid, and someone to collect the trash. Arriving we had a little difficulty finding the location with phone service being spotty and wasn't sure which was the correct gate but this really could have been an us problem as I haven't seen it mentioned anywhere else. When you get in the house there are about 12 keys and it was annoying figuring out which key went with which lock and they were not labeled correctly. For example twin was the front gate. There are no cooking staples except oil, sugar, and pepper. The pool was cloudy. No wash clothes or toiletries other than hand soap. I would still highly recommend and hope to return!

Great house for Punta Uva beaches
Great house for a stay at the beach! Designed around indoor-outdoor living, with ample outdoor spaces spread across two floors. All the windows are screens (no glass!) with shutters that can be secured against weather or when you leave for the day. The open design means very little sound privacy. If howler monkeys aren't your idea of an alarm clock, bring ear plugs! Saw sloth, iguana, toucans, parrots, frogs, lizards & pacas from the veranda. The house is situated up a steep hill. This ensures a steady breeze and no bugs; it also means that you are 0.3miles from the main road, with 0.1m of that being a very steep incline. Two access paths to the beach are nearby (total from house to beach is 0.5mile). The beach is beyond gorgeous with great snorkeling as well as sandy swimming areas. From the deck you can see the horizon where the sea meets sky through the trees, but not the beach itself. The bedrooms have comfortable beds and plenty of storage. The bathrooms had a generous supply of towels, including beach towels, but showers had 'ecolodge' pressure (limited to protect the supply since the house relies on water tank). The kitchen was fine for breakfasts and lunches. When we had an issue - no coffee maker! - the managers were very quick to fix it. They were always responded to questions promptly. The only down side was access: a single set of 7+ unlabeled keys. They did not to offer 24 hour advance arrival info; I only got the lock box code a few hours before arrival!

An Incredible Experience
My partner and I spent 12 days at this house with three teenagers and it was amazing. The house and bedrooms were very spacious and clean and we enjoyed the large open porch area upstairs immensely - for playing pool, watching wildlife, doing yoga, or simply relaxing as a family. The swimming pool was well-maintained and a perfect size. We did not rent a car but walked down to the main road to rent bicycles or travel by tuktuk in the area. Yes, the hill to climb home each day is steep but the house is worth it! We found everything we wanted in the immediate area - nice restaurants, shops, groceries, beautiful beaches for swimming. Communication with the hosts (an agency representing the owner) was flawless - quick responses and very accommodating. The same agency also gave us good advice and recommendations and helped us to book tours, shuttles, and bicycles - very friendly staff! Overall, this was probably the best vacation we have ever had and we highly recommend the area and the house!

The Great Escape
The property was as described and is ideally situated. It is pleasantly cool with great shade and allowed good night time sleeping ( we did not use the fans as there are a lot of screened windows. ) Wild life is everywhere around the property we has sloths , tucans and macaws everyday in the tree s around the propert and because of the elevation you were eyeball to eyeball. Would recommend

Hilltop Jungle House
Great property if you're looking for good proximity to Puerto Viejo but prefer a more quiet location. House was very clean, pool cleaned regularly, maid service once a week. Kitchen fully equipped. Bathrooms stocked with plenty of towels. Lots of wildlife surrounding the property...sloths, green macaws, agoutis, iguanas. Communication with property manager was always quick and easy. They put us in touch with a private chef service which we used for one evening. Carolina the chef was great! Overall great experience. Hill to the house is steep but worth it for the views and privacy. Definitely requires a 4x4 vehicle or motorcycle

Jungle house rental does not disappoint
My husband and I and our 2 children and their families rented this house for two weeks over the holidays. It was a wonderful experience. There were howler monkeys and capuchin monkeys and parrots and toucans and lizards and a sloth on the property. It was amazing. The space was plentiful. 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms and a large outdoor area around the pool and a kitchen and outdoor grill to cook amazing seafood meals. We liked the proximity to all the different beaches and the corner store was very handy. We rented 4x4 quads and toured everywhere. The staff was pleasant and the check in and out was easy. A true Costa Rican experience getting woken at 5:00 am every morning by the howler monkeys. The open air concept and breezes at night were very cooling. This place did not disappoint.

House with views
Beautiful house with plenty of space and private pool. Perfect size and space for 6 adults. Saw lots of wildlife around the property including two sloths and monkeys. Very steep hill up to the property so be prepared but worth it for the amazing views including sea veiw
