Montezuma Heights "Buho" cottage. Into the great wide open. Sleeps 2

"Buho" is a new cottage facing the great wide open ocean, its sound and the immensity of the Pacific horizon. It would embraces you instantly. With a cozy setting, equipped kitchen . The pool is shared. Away from touristic sound. The cottage itself has the common area with the downstairs bed kitchen, table, private bathroom and hot shower in the first floor. In the loft are a second double bed with a couch facing pool and ocean.

The space:
Our house and cottages have been build by us and took a lot of effort and love. We are very ecological oriented. All buildings are build with antic materials and done the way to harm environment less as possible. There almost no mosquitos where we are and any dangerous animals. There is a lot of wildlife, but it takes patience and the eye to find and see them, since they are shy and well camouflaged. We live in a BLUE ZONE and our water is maybe one of the best in the world, so better drink it.

Other things to note;The roads from Montezuma up are steep and for people who are not accustom to hills it can be scary, we advise people if they rent a car to rent a 4x4 (all Costa Rica) Taxis is a great alternative and will cost less. It is 10U$ one way.

Magical place to stay …
The view from this property is amazing. The distance to town was not bad. The food in the town of Montezuma was wonderful too. Peter was a great host and we had all that we needed. We thoroughly enjoyed the covered patio watching the sun rise in the AM. And we took full advantage of the pool during the heat of the day. We will be back to visit for sure!!!

Surreal place in Montezuma
Absolutely loved our stay. The host Peter and wife were charming and very helpful. Great advice and anticipated our needs. Santiago the caretaker looks after everything meticulously. The view is breathtaking and during our 15 days enjoyed everything from morning coffee to dinner overlooking the gorgeous view. We were in Buho which is right by the pool. We felt we still had privacy and swam every day or before retiring at night. You are surrounded by the beauty of the forest. I loved the book they prepared to explain highlights of the area. Lovely pictures too! Highly recommend. PURA VIDA!

This is a great place to stay. Quiet and an unbeatable view. The cottage itself is rustic and small - but no one comes to Costa Rica to stay inside! Very comfortable to sleep- lots of breeze so no A/C was not an issue. Not bugs either. The views from the covered veranda that is levered out over the cliff is phenomenal. We spent almost every end of day/evening there watching the waves and listening to the howlers. Bring some candles to enhance the ambiance even more. 3km drive into town (if you use the shortcut)but be ready for steep grades and narrow roads. It may be unnerving the first time you do it once but after that it’s easy. As others have said - we had the pool area to ourselves most of the time if we stayed home during the day Take the Tortuga Island trip with Zuma Tours - on a weekday when it is less crowded. Hike the falls. Enjoy the restaurants. And relax. True Costa Rica. Thanks for sharing this slice of heaven with us

Great place and location!
Pros: We loved our stay at this beautiful little house. Located 11 mins from the beach and with the most stunning sunrises. Santiago helped with the checkin and check out process which was very easy and he was also very nice with us. Cons: we wished the mattress were more new you can’t sleep well here if you are planning to stay more than two nights. I feel like for the price we could have gotten a better bed. Some of The appliances were a bit dirty still as well as the pool.m, but Santiago managed to clean the pool a bit more. Overall, we didn’t care… this place has everything so you can enjoy the best of both worlds jungle and the ocean. I’ll will stay here again for sure because I believe this is the best house in town to Stay at. Thank you Peter and Rocio for such a nice goodbye call. Kio and Henric.

Absolutely Amazing Property. STAY!!
What a perfect choice we made to stay in Buho Cottage hosted by Peter and Rocio. From the moment I booked I knew I made the right choice. I am a little high maintenance but they answered any questions I had promptly and they were so helpful! This place has a Billion Dollar View!!! We are up with the first break of sunrise and trust me it is glorious from anywhere you sit outside. The sounds of the birds and the beautiful nature below you just makes you never want to leave. The colors of the different species of birds that fly by is astonishing. They have a sweet heart of maintenance man named Santiago who is very consistent with maintaining the grounds and always helpful when asked. My spanish is not very good at all but he gets it. The cottage itself is so cute and also has an upstairs loft and view point. The bed was very comfy and nice for my back! It has everything you need and I can not over stress enough how I could tell this property was built with love and creativity. The pool just outside was a perfect way to cool down while you are gazing at the panoramic view of the ocean below. As listed this property has a shared space and honestly we had so much privacy and 98% of the time we had the pool area to ourselves. The odd time when we ran into someone it was so nice to meet a fellow traveler and exchange a story or two. The place is very quiet at night and we slept beautifully. The area is very well sexured and we felt so safe we slept with all doors and windows open. We had the opportunity to actually meet Rocio and Peter and now have new friends! Do not hesitate to book this property as in our opinion the best rental with the best breatth taking views in all of Montezuma!

Great location
Great location. Breathtaking views. We stayed 2 weeks, the lighting in the kitchen is really dark, to cook after 6pm I had to ware a head lamp. The mattress is showing its age and is uncomfortable. The bathroom sink has no hot water. To wash my face in the middle of the day I had to do it at the Kitchen sink or run the shower. The location can not be beat. Beautiful starry nights, breath taking sun rises.

Peter and Rocio made our stay amazing! While the spot is up in the mountains, the accommodations and information provided made it an easy to access spot. We loved the cottage and truly feel we had the best views in all of Montezuma. Very private and special place to stay.
