About this house rental

Enjoy expansive views of the Pacific Ocean and the Talamanca Mountains from the covered rooftop deck of this superb modern contemporary home. Custom designed in 2016 to take in the cool mountain breezes, this open concept home is situated at canopy level in a very private rainforest setting that highlights the sights and sounds of nature. The zero-edge pool separates the two living areas of this stunning home. Illuminated by LED lighting, it makes for a magical after dark experience.

The main living space includes a comfortable living and dining area adjacent to the gourmet kitchen, all with panoramic mountain and ocean views. The fully equipped kitchen has modern quartz countertops, a large granite island complete with seating for 4, and opens onto a covered outdoor terrace perfect for lingering over your morning coffee while watching the hummingbirds and toucans. The very spacious master bedroom and en suite bath were designed to showcase the amazing natural surroundings. Imagine watching clouds drift over the mountain tops through the vanity window, or gazing out at the ocean and the flora and fauna of the rainforest while body jets in the master shower gently massage you. Outside the master bedroom, a spiral staircase leads to a covered rooftop deck, the perfect place to enjoy a glass of wine while watching the sunset. Yes, this is paradise!

The second and third bedrooms of this spectacular home are separated from the main section by the pool and covered terrace, offering complete privacy. The second bedroom opens to a beautifully landscaped ocean view patio. The third bedroom has a private patio with amazing mountain views. These two bedrooms share a full bath located just off of the pool area.

Activities in the Ojochal area are endless. Nine different beaches can be easily explored. Water sports include surfing, kayaking, standup paddleboard, snorkeling, and swimming. Opportunities for hiking, birdwatching, and wildlife viewing will satisfy the most ardent nature enthusiast. Those looking for adventure will find ATV tours, horseback tours, canopy tours/zip lines, sport fishing, and golf are all nearby.

The village of Ojochal is well renowned for its world class restaurants offering international cuisine. French, Italian, Mediterranean, and Indonesian restaurants are a short drive from the home. Numerous Costa Rican restaurants dotting the highway offer fresh and delicious local options.

Here’s a revised version of your review: We stayed at Villa Cascadas for 5 nights, and the scenery and views from the house are absolutely breathtaking. Waking up to the sound of howling monkeys at dawn, along with the songs of birds and the soothing rush of the nearby river, was an unforgettable experience. It’s crucial to have a 4x4 vehicle if you plan to stay here. We drove an AWD Rav4, which handled the terrain well enough. The journey to the house can be a bit challenging, especially since the roads leading into the mountains are unpaved, with sharp curves and steep slopes. However, as long as you arrive while it’s still daylight, navigating the road should be manageable. I totally recommend staying here. I would love to come back soon.

When we arrived on the property my 28 year old daughter said, "Are we famous?" She couldn't get over how beautiful the setting and the set up was. It was perfect for our needs. We loved waking up at sunrise to all of the birds that we all worked to identify as well as howler monkeys. The view was stunning as well. We eventually learned of a few stops to submerge in watering holes on our way up the dirt road to the house. I would and have recommended this home to friends.

We absolutely loved this location and our trip to Costa Rica. The house is beautiful and views are amazing. The area was really safe and everyone was very helpful and nice. The gated community has a waterfall and an area where you can access the creek and rocks. We will definitely be back!

Just want to say what a great home Jeff and Paula provided for our stay of 8 nights! We truly didn't want to leave. Even before our travel, we were impressed with Paula answering all our questions to the great information and directions provided by Massi. The key pick-up worked very well as we arrived later than we thought and it was nice not having to coordinate meeting someone at the property. When we walked in you could see the care and professionalism of this home. It was prepared like a luxury hotel and clean as could be. The home itself is laid out wonderfully and the kitchen is fantastic for preparing meals and we used it a lot... because we just didn't want to leave! From the breathtaking views to the pool (which we spent 3-4 hours a day in) to the roof deck, to the grounds. Just wonderful! When we did go out, we did visit several great restaurants. Citrus, Exotica, and Ballena Bistro were our favorites although be careful at Exotica as the tables are very wobbly. And we recommend BM Market in Uvita as their selection is very good, a number of good wines and spirits, and take advantage of their whole roasted chicken for a fast lunch back at the house. It is only 25 minutes from the home. As for the drive to the home... yes, get a 4-wheel drive. But this is not our first time renting in Costa Rica so I can tell that there are far worse drives. Overall, this was one of the nicest vacations we have ever been on. We highly recommend this great home!

We loved the house and Ojochal - lots of beautiful waterfalls nearby and it was really nice to be right in the rainforest. I absolutely loved the views of the mountains behind the clouds and the beach. We visited several great restaurants in Ojochal!
