The house and the gardens are amazing! The large patios enabled us to enjoy being outside in spite of some rainy weather. We saw lots of beautiful birds.The neighbors were so friendly. We didn't have a car but one of them drove a taxi so it was easy to get to town, and another, Yadi, delivered delicious home cooked meals. It was a delightful experience!

This stay was a wonderful experience! We spent Christmas at Gloria's house and it was perfect. The house and grounds are beautiful, with a gorgeous view. We enjoyed the well-maintained trail down to the river from the house, and visited the Blue Falls - highly recommend for those able to manage some stairs and elevation. We had a couple dinners cooked by the neighbors and they were delicious. Yadi and her family are very kind, and invited the kids to see their newborn calf. We enjoyed listening to the monkeys and watching the toucans and hummingbirds. Highly recommend!

Stay Here!!!

This place is exotic! 6 of us stayed here with plenty of space. The first day some of our group was ill and so we stayed in most of the day. It still felt like an exotic vacation. The views of the jungle, the wild life, and the plants are amazing on this property. We loved how much character the property and house has! The beds were so comfortable. The house had everything we needed. Gloria was so responsive and helpful. There is so much to do once we left the property. The neighbors are so nice! The local places to eat and close grocery stores were perfect. This place is next level! Our family travels often and I would recommend this place to everyone! Price was perfect!

Beautiful home, beautiful setting

My family of 5 loved this home! We stayed just two nights after staying near Manuel Antonio and then La Fortuna so we could visit the Blue Falls and have a short drive back to SJO - and then wished we could stay longer. The home is very well stocked, has several cute sitting areas, and is perfect for bird watchers. We really enjoyed a dinner in that the neighbor prepared for us. Our stay definitely exceeded our expectations!

I have stayed at a lot of VRBO properties and this is by far one of the most unique & amazing. Very clean & comfortable. There are a lot of areas to spread out & enjoy your stay. My favorite was the raised deck above the parking area. Very Clean. Well appointed. Easy to codes & key for access & security. The host, Gloria was amazing, friendly, professional, responsive, & extremely helpful. The delivered local foods were unexpected & very very thoughtful. If you are reading reviews trying to decide whether to stay here or not, book it, you will not be disappointed.

Paradise/Paraiso

I've been having the best experience of my life here in this beautiful paradise. To start, Mrs. Gloria is a lovely person who is always attentive to our needs. She answers all my questions promptly and is super friendly. Yadi and his family are incredibly kind and their breakfasts and meals are delicious, especially the rice pudding. I haven't enjoyed meals this much in years, I absolutely loved them. Manuel and his family are also very loving people, making us feel like a part of their family. Their cheeses and cow's milk are spectacular. Gloria's house is so peaceful with the most beautiful views we've ever seen. The toucans, monkeys, and the variety of bird species make it feel like a place out of this world. The waterfalls and views are the best. When I return to Costa Rica, I will definitely be staying here every day. Why look for more when you can have it all in one place? See you soon 🇨🇷 Pura Vida ♥️

A wonderful, unique place to stay

We absolutely loved this house, grounds, and location. The owner has thought of all the little things that make a house feel like a home. The huge outdoor porches with comfortable tables and chairs while looking at the Poas Volcano in the distance is a dream come true. Howler monkeys talked to us every day and the bird life surrounded the entire area. We really did wake to Toucans and Monkeys. If you want a place to stay that you’ll always want to come back to then this is it. Owner Gloria goes above all expectations to make this both comfortable and unique. Wish we could give it 10 stars.

Incredible experience

We had an amazing time here. The house has everything you could need - we were here for a month, so I do mean everything - and the property owner, Gloria, was promptly responsive to all our questions, and proactive in suggesting things to do and places to go. There are lots of great things to do in this past of Costa Rica, but the best part of the experience was the birds and animals right at the house. An unbelievable variety of birds - you really do have breakfast with toucans - and we heard howler monkeys every day, and saw howlers, capuchin monkeys and coatis. It was just incredible. It exceeded our expectations in every way.

Absolutely amazing... Exceeded expectations

Exceeded my expectations since I have lived in the area previously. I would stay again and again and again. I actually didn't want to go. Gloria was super attentive and responsive and sent people to help almost immediately with very minor matters. Like one of the doors being tricky to open and the electrical storm taking the internet signal out briefly. (Just needed a reset). Area is very remote and isolated, However this is what we wanted and were expecting. Local stores require a long up hill hike and offer limited inventory, you"ll need a ride. There is a swimming hole nearby (car or long walk there). The neighbors are great. Super Pura Vida y tranquilo. The television wasn't connected to anything and I don't think it was a smart tv but we didn't make much effort to connect. Thank you Gloria!
