About this house rental
Surrounded by the forest the house is set off the ground and has huge windows to give it spectacular views of the forest canopy and Nicoya Gulf. Big rooms and Queen size beds provide comfort, plus all the essentials and more are provided. The house is large enough for a family but also perfect for a couples romantic get-away. Located close to town but extremely private it is ideal as a base to enjoy all of Monteverdes attractions and is an attraction in itself that provides the peace to rest after a full day of activities.
As mentioned the house is located on a large property, there are other rent houses on the property but out of shouting distance to provide each with privacy. Just up the road from the property there are several restaurants, a couple small supermarkets, art galleries and souvenir shops. Also in the area there are several attractions such as private reserves, a butterfly garden, night tours and others.
The space
The house is located on a 27 acre property which guests can explore as they wish, providing them the opportunity to see lots of the local flora and fauna without having to book a tour or drive anywhere.
Interaction with guests
Our hostess will confirm your reservation, meet you for check in and help with any questions you might have about the house, the area, tour options, dining suggestions on anything else you might need. We will leave you to yourself once checked in but are available at any moment for any questions or help you may need.
Other things to note
As a note the sofa bed lacks privacy because it is located in the living area but not comfort since it has a double bed mattress on it.
This property has a security camera outside, facing the garage.

Daniella helped us so much, really helped us create a fun family experience.
And the house and property was really beautiful and secluded. Couldn’t have been happier

We very much enjoyed our stay at this slice of heaven! The house is amazing with everything that you might need. The host, Daniela was even more amazing, if that is even possible. Daniela was so easy to work with and communicate with. She was extremely helpful with anything we needed.
The wildlife, view and charm of this house would be hard to beat. We would not hesitate to stay at this house again.
5.0
We loved staying here. Daniela was very communicative, and sent great directions, including a very helpful video - without it, we might have still been wandering around the rainforest.
The house is just a few minutes from town but feels like it’s tucked away, and we were able to see plenty of wildlife from the back balcony.
Enough space for all of us, and the washer/dryer was a huge bonus so we could throw in a load of laundry.
Highly recommend staying here if you need a lovely, comfortable place to stay in Monteverde!
5.0
We would absolutely stay again at this house. The view was breathtaking, the house was clean, Daniela was so helpful and very responsive. She met us when we checked in and she is just lovely.
It is a bit hard to find but she was so helpful in getting us there that once we found it, we had no issues going in and out.
The house is very roomy and can fit at least 5-6 comfortably.
The back deck is so wonderful in the early morning if you enjoy watching birds and various animals.
Don’t miss out on this property.
5.0
The house was great and had everything we needed. We were close to town and had fun observing wildlife from the back deck.

The listing is exactly as pictured and described. The property is nicely secluded but still close to everything. It is easy to get to, yet private. We felt completely safe to walk around the property day and night looking for wildlife. We saw coatis, agoutis, howler and white faced monkeys as well as toucans, hummingbirds, bell birds and mot mots. At night we could watch the lightening from the thunderstorms above the gulf put on an amazing show. The host was a great communicator with the location, meeting us at the house and showing us around and how things worked. She also connected us with an amazing local guide for a night tour. I would stay here again during the green season. Enjoy!

Beautiful house with a great view! You feel out in nature and even the monkeys came right up to the house one afternoon. Nice walking trails and good food nearby. Close to zip lining and the cloud forest.

This property was super unique and really amazing. The view of the Gulf of Nicoya was beautiful. My wife and I stayed there with our 8 and 5 year old daughters. This place was plenty big enough for all of us. It had an awesome balcony that wrapped around the whole house. The house is very secluded, but its not far from great locations. The house was modern with cool wood crafted tables and countertops. The Cloud Forest and the Children's Eternal Rain Forest are short drives. There is also a small grocery store that is close by. We didn't really go into the main part of town for anything. Don Luis, Stella's Bakery and Morpho's restaurant were some of our favorite eateries, that were close by. The host of the property Danielle is wonderful. She communicates with you as much as you need her, and will give you recommendations and can even set you with tour guides. I would highly recommend this place for anyone traveling to Monteverde. I also high recommend Monteverde, for anyone visiting Costa Rica.

My family of 4 stayed for 3 nights. Daniela made us breakfast 2 of the mornings at Abuelo’s Hangout to help us get out the door early for our scheduled activities. One was quite early for a guided hike with George, which she helped arrange. We did 2 hikes with George- can’t say enough other than book it now! Super fun, informative and just a great time. The view from the house is amazing. My tween and teen enjoyed having separate rooms. On our last morning, we were greeted by a family of capuchin monkeys.
Thank you for sharing this gem!

This place is nothing short of spectacular. It was perfectly clean, the furnishing are top of the line, the setting is gorgeous, the host Daniella was so helpful and accommodating. We even saw a monkey! I highly recommend this tree house home.

We (2 adults, kids age 8 and 12) stayed in this house. It was very nice and a perfect base for our trip. The home is very well taken care of, with an excellent outdoor space. There were animals close by that gave a great nature feel. The playground/park outside is a lot of fun and very unique. The location is slightly off the path, though we were able to walk easy enough to the store and restaurants.

The property is very nicely furnished and stocked. Great views from the deck. Daniela was very accommodating and addressed all our needs and questions.

The photos do not do this place justice. The place was well appointed and very clean. The beds were very comfortable and Daniella was an excellent and helpful host. Would stay again!

I truly felt I was staying in the cloud forest. I loved watching the agouti and coati on the back deck and the clearing down below. Daniella’s instructions were great and the signage getting to the house was very helpful.

Absolutely loved it - one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever stayed. The gorgeous wood furniture and the view were the highlights. We saw more wildlife from the balcony than we did at Monteverde or Curi-Cancha! Can’t recommend highly enough.

This is amazing house has quite a bit of charm in it's unique craftsmanship. The view is incredible. The beds were a bit hard for most of us but the kitchen was well stocked. Eating around the beautiful handmade table with the view was a dream. Check in and check out were a breeze and it was easy to find. A perfect get away.

I'll never forget the elation I felt when we reached the end of the bumpy gravel driveway and looked out over the forest and saw the Papagayo Gulf. The house looks brand new. High ceilings and floor to ceiling windows to the west create dramatic vistas. The attention to detail given to the construction and furnishing of the house is astonishing. The house is a work of art. Wildlife shows up at unexpected moments. The feeling of privacy is complete but sophisticated restaurans are 5 minutes away. A+ accommodations.

The photos on VRBO did not do justice to this home. We (family of 4 with two grown children in their 20's) loved it. The house looks brand new with amazing hand crafted wood furniture, bookshelves, cabinets, mirrors, sinks, etc. The hand made wooden kitchen/dining table is a work of art. The kitchen is a bit small but adequate - who does a lot of cooking on vacation anyway?
Not long after we arrived a group of 15 or so monkeys swung by the house (actually ran over the roof) on their way elsewhere. They stopped long enough to pose for pictures (an adorable baby too!) The front deck overlooks the cloud forest and we saw birds and mammals go by while we sat on the deck enjoying an afternoon snack.
After several days in Tamarindo, we were nervous about the house not having air conditioning, and realized it didn't need it. In fact we were happy with the extra blankets at night.
This place is a real gem - and we highly recommend it. Don't be too nervous about the rocky dirt road you must drive to get to the house - it is very secluded, and you feel like you are in the cloud forest when you arrive - and yet you are just a minute or two from restaurants and such.
Of the 5 places we stayed in Costa Rica, this was our favorite.

Beautiful handmade furniture however uncomfortable to sit on.
The kitchen is not set up for cooking. It lacks counter space, drawers, cupboards and normal utensils ie kitchen knives for food preparation. For very basic cooking ie frying eggs or warming soup, this kitchen is ok. For all other cooking preparations, it is totally inadequate.
The Property Manager was wonderful to work with. When asked for preparation knives, she was very responsive.
5.0
This house is a little quirky but built with so much love and the hosts are so attentive we would go back in a minute. The view is unbelievable and the place is spacious and clean.
I say quirky because there is no seating to relax in...all the chair are straight backed and while gorgeous, there was no place to comfortably relax. But seriously, the charm and character was over the top. Also, this place is ridiculously close to town (Santa Elena) but it feels like a hundred miles away.

This house was absolutely beautiful. Three great bedrooms with another bed/couch in the living area. Perfect kitchen. Our family of seven throughly enjoyed being there and couldn’t have been more comfortable. It really is a luxury house that the owner has invested a great deal in. Wonderful decorative touches.
Finally, our host met us at the house. She was so helpful. So friendly. Perfect!
Do not hesitate to rent this house!
