Beach villa w/fiber optic internet- Steps to beach with garden full of wildlife!

Welcome to Your Nature-Lover’s Paradise!

This home is a dream come true for anyone who loves nature! Nestled in a lush garden filled with vibrant flowers and fruit trees, it offers a peaceful escape just 200 yards from the warm waters of the Caribbean. On almost any given day, you’ll hear the calls of toucans and howler monkeys or spot iguanas, exotic butterflies, sloths, parrots, agoutis, and even tropical frogs right from the property. This truly unique home provides an intimate connection with nature like no other in Cahuita.

While you’ll be surrounded by the beauty of the real Costa Rica, you won’t have to sacrifice comfort. The home is equipped with:
*A full-sized kitchen with high-quality appliances
*Reliable WiFi
*A safe for your laptop and valuables
*On-demand tankless hot water
*A U.S.-standard purification system for safe drinking water

Adventure Awaits Just Minutes Away!
If you decide to venture beyond this tropical haven, you’ll find plenty to do within a short walk:
-Take a surf lesson
-Go horseback riding
-Snorkel in crystal-clear waters
-Savor delicious local cuisine at Chow's Paradise Restaurant
-Enjoy the laid-back vibes at Reggae Bar

Downtown Cahuita is just a 15-minute walk away—close enough to explore its wonderful restaurants, shops, bars, and tour agencies, but far enough to enjoy peace and tranquility without needing a car.

Don’t Miss Cahuita National Park!
Here, you can relax on pristine beaches, kayak through the stunning waters, or take a jungle walk while watching monkeys swing effortlessly through the trees.

Choosing the Right Place for Your Stay
To help you find the perfect accommodation, consider asking hosts these important questions before booking:
1) Will I need to cross a highway to reach the beach?
2) Is the nearest ocean access sandy or rocky with old coral formations?
3) Do you have a water purification system? (Avoid losing precious vacation time to stomach issues!)
4) Can I flush toilet paper, or does it need to go in a waste bin?

A Few Important Notes
-The stairs to the second floor are steeper than usual. If you have mobility concerns, the downstairs bedroom may be a better option.
-This is a lush, natural area of Costa Rica, meaning you may occasionally see a gecko or an interesting insect inside. If this isn’t your vibe, a more urban location might be a better fit.

I’m happy to help with any questions—looking forward to welcoming you to Cahuita!

Great place and location!

We loved our stay in Cahuita! The place was quaint and we loved being so close to the beach and Cahuita National Park! We also got to see a lot of wildlife. We had a great experience overall. Only caution would be that there is no AC at the place and did have some ants (so just put your food in containers)

Great stay

Family of 4 stayed for 4 nights, 2 double bedrooms and a sofa bed on the ground floor, fans everywhere kept us cool. We loved the house and the location next to the beach, a few restaurants close by but also easy to walk into town. Seeing the monkeys, toucans and other wildlife from the balcony was a highlight. Troy was on hand if needed but not intrusive.

Garden oasis

Close enough to walk, far enough tucked away to witness wildlife and still hear the waves. Great host helped with tours and activities! We saw poison dart frogs, tucans, macaws, howler monkeys, and hummingbirds from the patio! A jungle cabin, this place is rustic enough to let you witness nature, but with on demand hot water and wifi.

Great ecotourist location

We stayed here for 6 days during our spring break and loved the chill Caribbean side of Costa Rica. Troy was a fantastic host who was very helpful and also respectful of not intruding. The house and yard were amazing with all sorts of wildlife seen right from the porch. The whole town is walking distance and an amazing beach only a block away. We would stay here again if we come back.

Peaceful oasis

What a lovely property to return to each day to relax, read, grab a bite, and sleep. The house is adorable and property is beautiful with the pond, flowering trees and bushes. We saw and heard so many birds just sitting on either porch. A community of howler monkeys stayed in a tree across the street several nights and were the perfect alarm clock for our early morning activities. Troy came to our aid whenever we needed something - immediately! He is a great host.
