Mountains, rainforest and whitewater ocean views. The best CR experience.

This elevated property sits 400 feet above the Golfo Dulce and surrounded by jungle, amazing wildlife and a stunning 180 degree views. Quietly situated just a few minutes outside the main town of Pavones, it is easily accessible from the main road. Just two kilometers away, going to the north, is one of the longest sand beaches in Costa Rica. To the south, you will find the 2nd longest left hand surf breaks in the world.
This secure, private, two bedroom home has all the modern conveniences. It is fully furnished with a fully equipped kitchen, front and back outdoor living spaces and an outdoor kitchen with gas grill smoker and pizza oven. Both bedrooms have connected private baths and the home comfortably sleeps six. Take a walk through this working farm including an orchard of tropical fruit trees, coffee plants, displays of jungle flora, and the organic greenhouse and herb garden. Cool off in the outdoor shower while the monkeys, parrots, and toucans play in the palms above. The house has hot water, a/c, ceiling fans and is fully screened so you can take advantage of the tropical breezes unique to this area.
Surfing, kayaking, waterfall hikes, fishing, boat tours, horseback riding, or a morning of authentic Costa Rican farm culture, it all starts here. The owners live on site, speak English and Spanish and can help arrange all your adventures. From birdwatchers to adrenaline junkies, there’s something for everyone and we can help you plan a vacation with memories that will last a lifetime.

Costarican Paradise
Mike and Elizabeth's home exceeded all of our expectation. The house itself was well appointed and comfortable. The AC was cold the view of the coastline breathtaking and who doesn't like to have monkeys in your back yard. The house sits on a quiet mountaintop which is easily accessible. Mike has created a jungle paradise with well maintained trial that he is happy to show you. They both could not be more welcoming and his knowledge of the areas flora and fauna is amazing. They hosted my family for a pizza party, told us where to surf and were there when we needed anything. I can not recommend this stay enough. If your travels find you in CR please make sure to include this jungle paradise in your stay.

Epic Jungle Farm Paradise with ocean views and waves
This place is a must stay on your Costa Rica adventure! Michael and Elizabeth go above and beyond to make you feel welcome, comfortable and relaxed. Plus their over 15 years living in the area make them fabulous tour guides, so you can make the best of all the local beauty, sights, culture and food. We even did a pizza night with them while watching sunset at their outdoor kitchen / bar / pizza oven - yummmm! Michael took us for a walk around the gorgeous farm to see the exotic landscape, fruit trees, monkeys and waterfalls ~ oh my! Close to various super fun surf waves and empty tropical beaches. The place is super clean, well stocked, spacious, kid friendly, nice green lawn, lots of seating, hammocks and a gorgeous ocean view. Don’t miss it ;)

Wonderdul property in a wonderful part of the country!
So I've been coming down to CR for many many years and have been to some great spots throughout the country. Pavones is one area I hadn't been so on this trip we came across Michael and Lizzie's place on their farm. Nowadays when travelling we usually find the area we like and narrow the houses down and always look to see what people say about the hosts. More often than not great hosts not only make your trip better than it would have been but also become friends (if you are into that) if you let them, and end up being people you stay in touch with later in life. Well this property checked off both boxes and we couldn't have had a better time in Pilon/Pavones. Surf was great, company at the house great, and had a great day hanging with Michael and locals after renting a boat for the day and getting the guided tour to ring in the new year! Pizza night is just as everyone says in reviews, you can't miss it, and the outdoor bar/kitchen at sunset is worth the price for admission alone. Thanks guys for everything, we only hope one day we get to return the favor! Pura vida!

Paraiso de Miguel is a fabulous place for a tropical vacation in the Pavones area .
The four of us , two couples , spent 10 days at Paraiso De Miguel . It was a fantastic vacation. The house is nicely laid out with two good size bedrooms each with there own bathrooms a great front and back patio and a kitchen with everything that you need . The jungle is all around the house with Toucans and Monkeys visiting regularly. But what made It a fantastic vacation was the host Micheal and Lizzie . Michael has great knowledge of the area and helped us planning and booking all the activities that we want to experience. Michael organized a trip to the Corcovado wilderness park , a trip to the wildlife rescue park that included snorkelling and a boat trip , a fishing trip ( we got mackerel and bonita tuna which we had for dinner along with Chicken kabobs that Lizzie prepared ) ,horse back riding , ATV rentals , Kayaking trip and which restaurants have the best food . Lizzie gave us great massages and cooked up some fantastic Pizzas when we had pizza night and the second dinner where we had Chicken kabobs.. we had fresh eggs from the chicken coop daily and fresh squeezed orange juice from the orange trees on the property. Michael came with us on several of our trips and basically functioned as a guide. Paraiso de Miguel is a great property in a unique and beautiful location but what made it so special and unforgettable is the effort , the extra work and attention that we got from Michael and Lizzie, it made a great trip in to a unforgettable experience.

Second Trip
My husband and I went back to Paridisio de Miguel this year after a great stay last year. It feels like a home and is one of the best places in Costa Rica that we have stayed. Plenty to do with the ocean, rivers, waterfalls and best sunsets in the country! Michael and Lizzie are wonderful hosts!

Perfect Costa Rican experience!
I booked this home after being drawn to the photos and reviews of other guests. I really knew nothing about the area and didn’t know what to expect. WOW! It turned out to be possibly the best vacation we have had together as a family! Michael and Elizabeth have created such a welcoming environment in one of the most beautiful areas of Costa Rica. The home was spacious, clean, full of beautiful local art and woodwork, and lovely views from each room. The landscaping and gardens are amazing- wonderful flowers, birds, fruits, and herbs. I noticed something new and beautiful each time I stepped outside. In addition to creating such a perfect spot, Michael and Elizabeth were outstanding hosts. Their hospitality was above and beyond any expectations! Michael arranged several adventures for our family and accompanied us on a fantastic trip to the wildlife preserve, snorkeling, an amazing lunch near Golfito, and a boat ride through the mangroves. He shared so much information with us and gave us so much insight into the local people and culture. Our experience in Costa Rica was enhanced greatly by having someone with us that lives in the area and has such a great love and appreciation for it. We are so grateful for all that that they shared with us! Their kindness and consideration was superb. They both considered the needs of all of our family, including our three middle school boys, and truly wanted to make sure we each had a great vacation. More highlights that shouldn’t be missed include horseback riding, a delicious and fun pizza night, Elizabeth’s incredible and relaxing massages, beach time in Zancudo, fresh eggs and fruit in the mornings, monkeys and toucans on the property, sweet greetings from their awesome dog, Paulie, and beautiful mornings and evenings on the porch. Our family cannot wait to return to repeat this amazing experience! The only thing I would want to change is adding more days to our stay in this wonderful spot!

We could not have hoped for a more perfect adventure. The property is gorgeous the view is stunning and the people are fantastic! Michael our host provided a personalized element that truly made the vacation the adventure of a lifetime.

Beautiful Views and gracious host
This was the first time my husband and I ventured this far south in Costa Rica. So glad we did. The condo we rented immediately felt like home. Michael was a great host assisting us with anything we needed: where to eat, what to do, how to do it. The views and the sunsets are outstanding as well as siting with the monkeys right before sunset. We will most definitely come back! Highly recommend! Big place and oh so comfortable!

One of a kind experience!
If you are traveling to Pavones, this is by far the most amazing place to stay. Not only does the property itself exceed expectations, the owners made this a truly one of a kind experience. The home itself is spacious, comfortable, and set up with everything you’d need for a night or a month! The grounds are impressive to say the least! Views of the jungle and coastline, wildlife at your doorstep, and a safe and secure location. The owners were beyond gracious and welcoming, providing so much information and help. They are well known in the community and we definitely got a much more thorough understanding of the area’s history than we would’ve without their insight. I wish we could’ve only stayed longer! Enjoy
