This house is fairly secluded so a trip to the beach or store will take 20-30 mins depending on road conditions, but the outings make for great flora and fauna sightings. Lasero lives on the property and is very kind. He cleaned the pool each morning and was happy to help if we had a question. ##### Hollie G.

In the early mornings completely surrounded by nature we sat on the deck listening to the howler monkeys as we watched the day awaken. The yellow bellied fly catchers, mourning doves and tree swallows were abundant. With all the luxuries of a suburban home, we could have easily spent all our time there but adventured to the near by beaches. The rustic road trip was definitely worth it. ##### Sandy S. Stayed 4 nights in Feb 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Kris May 2, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication The house is very nice and picturesque compared to the ones in the surrounding area. Our stay was at the end of the dry season, the hottest time of the year. That made having a full size private pool wonderful, it is filtered but shared with wild life so expect that. The house does show its age in areas, but has working ACs in each room, is nicely decorated and clean inside with beautiful furniture. We did have plumbing issues with the shared, full bathroom, it was snaked but continued needing to be plunged with every use, so we shared the master bath. The house was clean when we arrived and well stocked with ALL the essentials except food. Unfortunately the microwave was undependable and the coffee maker leaked. Again, this house is still nicer than most in the area. I say this because you are about 35/45 minutes removed from any area with a grocery store and half of that drive is hard rocky dirt road. So its perfect, as long as you realize the house is part of the vacation, because you wont go and come back to the house more than once maybe twice in a day. Also perfect for hosting a small family reunion, even if some family stays at a near by resort and day visits. The house draws a lot of wild life and insects because it is an oasis in a dry arid landscape. We didn't have any negative issues with this, it was actually nice. We enjoyed all the wild life, especially the iguanas that live on the roof and the geckos that live all through the house. Make sure to get an SUV. ##### Kris Stayed 9 nights in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### kriss L. Dec 23, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful jungle home I recently had the pleasure of staying at a stunning home nestled in the heart of the Costa Rican jungle, and it was an experience like no other. From the moment I arrived, I was captivated by the lush surroundings and the serene atmosphere that enveloped the property.The home itself is beautifully designed, blending seamlessly with its natural environment. Large windows offer breathtaking views of the vibrant jungle, allowing the sights and sounds of nature to fill the space. The decor is stylish yet inviting, with a perfect balance of modern amenities and rustic charm that makes you feel right at home.One of the highlights of my stay was the private pool. Surrounded by tropical plants and overlooking the jungle, it was the perfect spot to relax and unwind.The location is truly a gem. Tucked away from the hustle and bustle, it offers complete privacy while still being close to various attractions. The wildlife in the area is incredible; I spotted colorful birds, howler monkeys and iguanas adding to the enchanting experience.The hosts were exceptional, providing warm hospitality and insightful recommendations in the area. The groundsmen Lucero was so helpful.Will def recommend! ##### kriss L.

Jan 9, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Amazing Place and As Described The House in the Heavens is as described in the listing. It is an oasis in the jungle above the ocean. The layout, the amenities, and the pool are great. There are jungle creatures. If you aren't interested in sharing your vacation with frogs, lizards, monkeys, scorpions and the biggest damn grasshoppers I've ever seen, this is not the place for you. The road is rough (but not much rougher than most of the roads). The two local beaches are great, with a fantastic surf break (and sunset) at Playa Negra. Tamarindo is a 30-45 minute drive. You cannot walk anywhere from the casa. We didn't really need Christi or Lasero for anything, but Lasero lives on-site and is very nice and helpful. One of his dogs did bark all night a couple times. Did I mention the pool and inside/outside living space is amazing? Try to arrive in daylight, if possible. There are some great restaurants around if you look closely. We stayed at the beginning of the dry season (I think) and it probably does get pretty dried out later in the season, but was perfect for us, never used the AC. I imagine the wet season is lush and wonderful. ##### Josh A. Stayed 8 nights in Dec 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sarah R.

It was great to have all of the space, the pool, AC, and howler monkeys greeting us each day. Laserro, the caretaker is 2nd to none. He and his dog Lilu were always there when we needed something. Our contact Christie was also very responsive and answered any text quickly. This location is a fun adventure in itself! When staying here, make sure to have a 4-wheel drive. There are very bumpy roads that get worse with rain. Expect a few critters as you are in the jungle. The house iguanas were a hoot to watch and the geckos serenaded us at night. Highly recommended!!!

We saw howler monkeys from the front door as the group of 8 with 2 babies moved through for about 30 minutes, to eat the white flowers on the trees-- right by the front gate. We saw many birds from the pool area and front door, including a painted bunting, white-throated magpie jays, hummingbirds, and woodpeckers. It was quite warm in the afternoons, with no shade around the pool area. Perhaps a triangle or rectangle sun shade sail to provide much needed shade in the heat of the afternoon? Highly recommended villa. Beautiful and peaceful! ##### Pegge H. Stayed 5 nights in Nov 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Bryan A.

Don’t be too put off by the $2 road on the way to the house. Once you make it to the top of the hill you will be greeted with a million $ view. Lazero is great and is only around when you need him to be. Being at the top of the hill provides a nice breeze to beat back that CR heat. The house was clean and besides small flying bugs from having the big door open, we never had any issues with anything big or scary. Not a single Scorpion or large spider to be found. The iguanas and birds provide a lot of entertainment for guests, but never in a bad way. Great restaurants on the beach are only 15-20mins away. Becky and Christie were a big help when our flight was delayed and they were flexible and willing to help with whatever they could. Overall a very relaxing vacation for our family. Just what the doctor ordered! You will not be disappointed making your next vacation a CR trip and staying at Mark and Becky’s gorgeous home. ##### Bryan A.

It is architecturally interesting, and has a great pool that opens to the indoor living area creating an awesome indoor/outdoor experience. The outdoor grilling area is also a nice added bonus. The house is fully equipped, nicely furnished and the views are amazing. Lazero, the young man who lives on the premises greeted us upon arrival and showed us the basics. He does not speak English so it was tough to learn all the ins and outs of the property. However, Becky the owner was very responsive to all our inquiries. The house has ceiling fans everywhere, and we found them to do a great job of keeping the house cool. In fact, we only had to use the AC, which works great, a few times. The only reason I couldn’t provide a 5-star rating has to do with issues not related to the design and beauty of the home, but other issues we personally found a bit problematic. Please note this is a really nice VRBO, but as someone who uses reviews extensively, I think it is important to mention some things you will likely encounter, or would want to be aware of. The house is remote, and I mean remote in the context there is nothing around the property. Yes, town and Tamarindo is only 30-40 minutes away, but once you get off the main paved road anticipate a very slow and very rough pot-hole ridden, unmaintained 20-minute dirt road drive to the property. You will definitely want to buy everything you need in advance of arriving. Additionally, if you’re there during the dry season, expect hot, dry conditions, not the lush rain-forest you might expect in other parts of Costa Rica. You should also anticipate seeing some scorpions, tarantulas and what we learned was the Giant Costa Rican Grasshopper. A harmless but intimidating creature. In the owner’s defense, this is simply due to the fact you are in the jungle. It was only a minor distraction for us but by the end of our 9 day stay we were “bugged” out. I would also have to say the house could benefit from a good deep cleaning and some minor maintenance. Upon our arrival it was certainly acceptable, but as you got into the nooks and crannies signs of surface cleaning versus deep cleaning became apparent. On balance, the pros out weigh the cons with this property. But do go in with your eyes wide open and view it as a “destination” VRBO, rather than a home you can bounce around from. ##### Mark M.

We loved the pool area with the Bbq. The kitchen is well equipped with everything you need. The property manager was always available if we had any questions, he was super helpful and friendly. We were there with our 5 year old son. This house is close to a small town with some great restaurant options, also close to playa Avellana and Tamarindo ##### Lindsay J. Stayed 10 nights in Apr 2024
