"The house is fabulous and the view is incredible! It was great to get out and explore and then come back and relax by the pool and watch the weather over the ocean. We saw many kinds of birds like Toucans and could hear the Howler Monkeys occasionally. The hosts were very communicative and the information book on site was exceptional."

"Getting to the property was a little confusing as a foreigner. Eventually I found it & everything was good. Communication with the host was good. Any issues that occurred I was able to inform the host & it was handled promptly. I understand it being in the jungle & or nature habitat so there was naturally bugs & pests, scared me a little but it was fine. I really enjoyed the home it was beautiful!"

10/10 Excellent
"We had an amazing week staying here in Costa Rica! The location was ideal, making it easy to visit both Manuel Antonio and Corcovado National Parks.Mark was an exceptional host, checking in regularly to make sure everything was going well and offering great recommendations for things to do in the area. We booked two excursions with his recommended guide, David, and both were incredible experiences.The Uvita farmers market was a fantastic place to stock up on fresh local produce, and Mark's restaurant recommendations were spot on, especially Citrus, which was outstanding.Two people in our group had health concerns, so having air conditioning in the bedrooms made a huge difference in our comfort. The infinity pool was another highlight and the perfect place to relax after a day of exploring.We would highly recommend staying here and would absolutely love to return for another visit!"
