Our family of five really enjoyed our short stay. Everyone had their own space but connected with the pool and observation area on top. Communication was good and the house had everything we needed. The bedrooms all had great working air conditioning. The main house family room didn’t but there were two fans. We walked to the restaurants nearby: Los Almendros - we ate there twice, El Patio - they had trivia night on the Tuesday night we arrived, a lot of ex-pats and American music which was fun, and then Soda Margarita for breakfast. The driveway to the villa was a bit steep for our large SUV but we made it work. The villa is in a small town but close enough to Jaco and Manuel Antonio for more activities. I liked being away from all the traffic and crowds. If you’d like to learn to surf I’d recommend Bretts Boards. He lives in town and you’ll see his sign down the street from the house but we met him at a beach resort about 10 mins away. That was fun. Overall the house was truly unique (especially the amazing views!) and had everything we needed.

Our family of eight could not have picked a better place very roomie for three different couples and two teenagers. The pool was a definite hit Beautiful The house is centrally located. We traveled to Jaco and Manuel Antonio several times. The streets in this area are very well-maintained. We rented cars and had them directly delivered to the house or they will pick you up at either airport (Jaco suv Rentals.) Fabian and the owner were incredible to work with There are three restaurants right close to the house that are incredible. El patio was our favorite. Lots of spectacular excursions very close. Our favorite was the kayak tour. Nacarcosta Mangrove Tours will definitely come back.

We loved staying at Hilltop House!! Our group was a family of 6 including 2 grandparents and 2 kids (10-13 years). The house was great!! We loved the pool and hanging out in the “eagles nest” to enjoy the view and animals (several bird nests on the property, iguanas, macaws flying to/from the beach, and even a cane toad) The beach (we drove due to the steep hill) was very close (no issues parking) and great for boogie boarding, jumping waves, tide pools and seeing scarlet macaws (10+ daily). We were there the week after Easter and the beach was practically empty every day (aside from the occasional dog/cat and one time even a group of cows). There is a small bar/restaurant right on the beach with decent food and drinks. The town is small but has several restaurants, 2 small grocery stores, and a place to rent surf & boogie boards. The town is in a great location, about 20 min to Jaco and an hour to Manuel Antonio. If you enjoy being at a more low key place with a great beach but still close to touristy places this is a great location for you!! We arranged for a chef two nights via the host (amazing food although the first dinner the chef made enough food for 3 meals), ate out a couple times, and cooked meals several times as well. Los Almendros is a great place to eat in town. The host and property manager were very good at responding and sorting out some minor issues very quickly. Really enjoyed our stay and would stay there again!

The house was very nice. The arrangement was better than I expected from the description of the house. 10 of us stayed at the house including 2 young kids and a baby and we were all comfortable. The suite that was located above the garage separate from the main house was great for my brother and his wife with 6 month old baby. The suite had its own shower and a mini kitchen so they had privacy and comfort. As I read in other reviews, the steep hills up to the house and the driveway was a bit challenging but we managed with our 4 wheel drive rental cars. Fabian (the property manager) was responsive, informative, and essential to the success of our stay.

This place is perfect. The feeling of unbothered paradise with the comforts of home. Everything we needed was a short walk or less than 2 minutes drive. We will be coming back!

We came to CR with 6 adults to celebrate the high school graduation of one. Tha property is a little difficult due to gravel roads and steep incline. 4x4 is highly recommended. The property is stunning, within close proximity to stores, local restaurants, and the beach. Very comfortable and the pool was wonderful. Owner and property manager were exceptionally responsive. All rooms are good sized, observation deck has 360 degree viee of ocean and mountains, and outdoor/partially open areas are beautifully decorated. Would definitely rent again!!

The place to unwind
The Hilltop House provide the right amount of privacy to disconnect from the grind. Eating breakfast and listing to the waves crash as you watch the Macaws fly by provides the perfect serenity. Easily walkable to the beach or local bar The restaurant at the bottom of the hill provides great local cuisine and the owner of the restaurant gave us a ride back to the house If you need something more touristy. It is a 20 minute taxi ride to Jaco. And we highly recommend contacting the owner. She has a local lady and her daughter that will come to the house and fix meals. They show and bring all the food. She treated us like family and fed us well. Hands down the best CR food we ate was made by her
