Highly recommend this property. Host was very helpful especially meeting us at the gate when we arrived and sharing features of the villa. Very quiet with a beautiful pool area.

Great spot with outdoor seating where you can eat breakfast with the macaws, watch iguanas sun bath in the afternoon and a waterfall is only a short 10 minute walk away. Miele was very responsive and provided some great suggestions for the excursions and food. Can’t wait to go back next year!

Property is as advertised and more. We arrived late in the night in the middle of a rain storm and Miele was so accommodating, meeting us hours after our check-in time in the pouring rain. We've never stayed at more peaceful vacation spot. There was ample space for the two of us, and the outdoor patio was perfect for morning coffee and peaceful late-night hangouts, watching the rain and lightning. The small waterfall available to us was absolutely worth the walk by the way. Easy to find, we spotted a ton of monkeys hanging above our heads, watching us, as we pushed through the path to a very private and cool waterfall. Right off the road that took us literally anywhere we needed to go, we were in perfect driving distance to a ton of really great restaurants and other attractions. The restaurant recommendations were spot-on. The staff at these places were so nice and cool to us. Miele, despite being out of the country on vacation, responded immediately to any question we had and Jack would answer in seconds. The pool was super relaxing, private, and much-needed after a long, hot day of exploration. We want to thank Miele and everyone for providing a perfect setting for our honeymoon and when we visit, we will 100 percent be staying here again. Thank you so so much.

We traveled to Costa Rica as our daughter’s graduation gift. The location of this house was perfect. The hosts were amazing with giving recommendations as far as car rental, and for our atv ride in the jungle. They answered all my questions and helped to make the trip less stressful for me while traveling with kids. Definitely would recommend this house to anyone wanting to be in the Jaco area. Thank you again. Pura Vida!!

Great

The property is in a great location close to the beach and restaurants. We were able to observe a variety of birds by just sitting on the patio. The pool is great! Always clean with a great atmosphere. This is a place for some solitude. The property manager is wonderful! She answered all my questions about the area and was very responsive to my concerns. I highly recommend this place.

Super cool host, very nice house, clean, pool, cold A/C and in a great neighborhood. Will definitely stay here again!

Property is very clean (found a few dead and dying roaches understandable given the climate). A few of the appliances did not work--toaster only half worked, rechargeable flashlight did not work. The pool was very clean but the water temperature was too warm for it to be refreshing. Beautiful environs especially in the morning. sunsets equally beautiful. We saw Capuchin monkeys on the property as well as macaws flying in pairs in the morning heading to almond trees. Very relaxing all in all. It was humid but that is something you adjust to. The large opening to the small terrace had a screen but no door to close . (Villa Heliconia)

The place is small but quite nice. It's located within a gated community and then behind another gate (but that gate has to be opened and closed by hand and doesn't have a lock so anyone can open/close it, so it's more annoying that secure). Our phones didn't work in Costa Rica so we relied on wifi to communicate with the owner, which we didn't have until we were checked into the house so it was difficult to communicate before we checked in (I'd recommend extra steps to get a working phone in Costa Rica - we wanted one often), but the owners responded quickly to messages I posted to them on VRBO and they forwarded them to their caretaker to help us out. The place is described as 1 mile from the beach which sounds walkable, but the caretaker suggested not walking it due to danger (the gated-community road has no sidewalks and deep gutters so it can be dangerous if a car doesn't see you, and the main road you have to cross to get to the beach is very busy and dangerous to cross), but the drive to the beach is quick (except for the annoying gate). The beach itself is quite beautiful, especially at sunset. The local "tiki bar" restaurant was great - slow service but good food and drinks (I don't remember the name but they had tiki statues out front) - at night on the weekend this place got to be wall-to-wall people with loud music. Parking for the restaurants on the weekends is do-able but tricky - it's very popular and there's very little parking and lots of traffic. There's a small market and more beach access about 1/2 mile further north. The property has it's own waterfall: "unlock the gate and walk about 10 minutes to view it" (so many gates!). But the path has multiple intersections and we chose incorrectly and wandered for about 30 minutes before finding it (then on the way back we chose a path we hadn't chosen and it did indeed only take a few minutes). The waterfall was small but cute. On our walk to it we thought we saw a monkey cross the path in front of us, but later decided it was probably a coati (definitely cute, but seems less exciting - they're super common and not much different than raccoons). The gated community has a pool right next to this property (behind another locked gate, but if someone wanted to get in without the key, one wall is made of vegetation and can easily be walked through) - it's quite nice.

Great stay, very helpful host. The grounds are immaculate. The swimming pool is fabulous. The condo is super clean and has all the amenities of home. Been traveling around CR for a month and this is the nicest place we have stayed.

Clean and well appointed. Love the abundance of nature and the trail to the private waterfall was such a bonus. AC worked well in the bedrooms and beds were very comfortable. We will definitely return.

We highly enjoyed our stay in CR and the villa had a perfect Costa Rican feel. The location was convenient. We had a rental car which I would recommend. The property was very clean and well stocked. The only thing we missed was a hairdryer. The property owners responded promptly to any questions. We highly recommend.

Great experience.

The condo was very safe and secure and in a great location. Miel and Chris were very attentive and responded right away to all of my questions. Highly recommend this place!

Enjoyed my stay! Quiet, Clean, Good Communication with Owner. Would stay again! Thanks Ted

We had a fabulous time while staying in Costa Rica. It was nice to come back from our daily adventures to our casita. We felt safe and loved the privacy of the location with being so close to everything. There was always prompt responses to the questions we had. We definitely will be coming back again. Thank you for sharing your villa with our family. Much love!

Wonderful, quaint, quiet, clean with lots of birds including Scarlet Macaws, turquoise mot mots, parakeets and hummingbirds. There were many friendly iguanas to watch from your patio as well.

We had a great time.Quiet place, relaxing. The pool was perfect, the waterfall absolutely amazing. Highly recommended.

Great location, close enough to Hermosa beach but far enough from the busy main street. Tidy clean and comfortable villa with a nice clean pool, Air conditioning, WiFi, fully equiped kitchen. Close by restaurants and activities of all sorts.Will definitely recommend this place to anyone and we will be coming back for sure.

Very confortable, nice place

After a 3 month lockdown I was looking for a quite and peaceful place and this was it! The pool perfect for our kids, the walking waterfall was just the cherry in the pie for a walking expedition! Nature surrounding the house and entire property it made the vacation lovely! The house is super super clean and Miele was super host! I have already recommended this place to so many people! Thank you!

The process from beginning to end was very simple. Location was great and private. I would highly recommend this rental as while private is also convenient to surrounding area.

House is very clean and cosy. Very nice pool and outdoor patio. Nice things to see around, my favorite was playa esterillos este!! Miele is very nice, she can help you in english, french and spanish 🙂 We definitely recommand this Villa!!

As we arrived to the property our hostess, Miele, was there to greet us. Our first impression was very positive! The villa was perfect for our needs; close to the Hermosa Beach, yet in a very quiet area. Miele was delightful! She gave us good information, and answered all our questions. She was very helpful and you could see that she takes great pride of her property! ----I highly recommend Chris and Miele's villa!!

This was a wonderful place to stay. We saw more species of animals in the land surrounding than in Manuel Antonio park, scarlet macaws, tucans etc. The house is beautiful and everything is very clean.

Los anfitriones son exc. La casa muy agradable. La piscina está a 20 metros de la casa, muy limpia, pero necesita una sombra para protegerse del sol. Exc para vacaciones con amig@s. Los cuartos también limpios al igual que los baños. No olvidar el repelente si van en setiembre. Ambiente perfecto para descansar....

This place was awesome! My group of friends and I stayed for 9 days. The villa is very close to the main break in playa hermosa. Everything was well kept including the shared pool and shared bbq area. There is a nice little waterfall on the property, about a 10 minute walk from the door of the villa that was pretty cool. We couldn't have asked for a better place. Far enough from everything to wind down and relax after a long day of surfing, but close enough to everything to go for food and drinks after a long day of surfing.

A great experience. Chris was very friendly and welcoming. The property was very nice and relaxing. We really enjoyed the short walk up to the waterfall. Costa Rica is amazing and has so much to offer for an active life style. We will definitely be back. Thank you

The stay here was amazing! Really enjoyed the location and privacy. We were perfect distance from everything, the pool was amazing, and the small hike to the waterfall was great. We really felt as we were staying in the forest with all the wild animal noises we would hear at night. The home was great. I would suggest an AC in the living room as that is where we spent most of the time in the house and it got pretty hot so we would all just relax in the rooms instead where the AC was amazing. Beautiful place and we would definitely stay here again.

great place, great pool. plenty of pots, pans and dishes. AC in the bedrooms was the best!!

Everything we (two couples) expected as well documented on the reviews. Highly recommended for any Costa Rica stay.
