Casa Matapalo – Jungle Casita - short distance to Jaco Beach & town
Casa Matapalo – Private Jungle View Home in Jacó
A peaceful treetop escape with stunning views of the wetlands and total privacy.
Casa Matapalo is the most private unit within Jaco Casitas Rentals, a family-run property surrounded by jungle and tropical gardens. This elevated home offers a unique experience: it feels like you’re floating among the treetops, with views from nearly every corner—bedroom, kitchen, balcony, and terrace.
Perfect for couples, remote workers, nature lovers, and adventurous travelers seeking peace, comfort, and a deep connection with the Costa Rican jungle.
The Space • Bedroom with 2 queen-size beds and panoramic garden and wetland views • Air conditioning, fan, and fast WiFi • Private bathroom with small closet (Note: the shower is not heated, water is naturally fresh due to the tropical climate) • Fully equipped open kitchen, ideal for cooking while immersed in nature • Private balcony with a hammock for relaxing, reading, or wildlife watching • TV for when you want to unwind indoors
Important to Know: To access Casa Matapalo, 4x4 is required and guests must climb approximately 70 steps from the parking area. The view and privacy at the top are worth it, but we recommend considering this if you have mobility or health concerns.
What Makes It Special: • Elevated views over Jacó’s last remaining wetlands • Total privacy – surrounded by jungle and located away from other houses • Common sightings of iguanas, raccoons, butterflies, and tropical birds • Designed to feel open, breezy, and deeply connected with the natural environment • Beds have mosquito nets, and we suggest bringing repellent for outdoor comfort
Casa Matapalo is the perfect jungle hideaway for guests who want to disconnect from stress and reconnect with nature—without giving up comfort or convenience. Just a short drive from Jacó town, beaches, surf, and adventure.
