"This property was a breath of fresh air. The mountain breezes literally do flow through the house and you are surround by a beautuful sustainable garden which the hosts tend to daily. We have great respect for the hosts Todd and Jill's committment to preserving nature as well as their lifestyle focussed on homesteading & sustainability. We would get suprise gifts of fruit such as bamanas, grapefruit ,mandarin or limes left on our doorstep by the owners. In addition to the caring hosts, we took...

"I loved this property!!! It was private and well cared for. It was a beautifully designed, well thought out space. Loved the sunrises in the morning and the bird chatter all day! Private pool was so gorgeous. Had everything I needed. Owners were very accommodating. You DO need a 4 wheel drive for the drive way but once you figure it out it is easy. Will be back!!!!!"

8.8 out of 10, Excellent, (5)
"Beautiful unique home nestled in the mountains almost touching the clouds. In an awesome neighborhood. Very private and beautiful views. Higher elevation, cooler temp compared to the beaches which are a short drive down the mountain. Tagua is a must for coffee, trust me. I am in the coffee business and this is the coolest and greatest coffee shop that exists. Ojochal is such a beautiful and unique little town surrounded by the most lush jungles and beaches. Andrea and Derek, the owners are...

9.2 out of 10, Wonderful, (5)
"We stayed for two weeks in February at this property. The communication with the owner (Juliana) and property caretaker (Anna) was top-rate for the entire stay. It is hard to find photos to do justice to the view. It is simply divine at any time of day. There are birds, birds and more birds of all types. Howling monkeys close by. Pleasant walking along the road that works its way along the high ridges. The house is fully outfitted and has everything a person could need for their stay. Others...

Amazing house in the jungle overlooking the pacific ocean
9.8 out of 10, Exceptional, (24)
"We had a little taste of Paradise while living at Villa Cascada. If you love nature, it is the place to stay. We woke up almost every morning to the sounds of the howler monkeys, we even saw them in a nearby tree. You are surrounded by the jungle and all its sounds and aromas. We saw lots of toucans, butterflies, birds, bats, coatis. The views are amazing. The road to the villa was scary the first time, but David waited for us on the main road and led us to the villa. You definitely need a 4x4,...

Cabaña Rica ~Private Waterfalls & Natural Pools
6.0 out of 10, (1)
"Quaint cabin (make sure you have the correct GPS coordinates, because there are two by the same name – we were made aware of the correct location AFTER we booked). Extremely remote! Challenges with check-in/meeting the care taker. Be advised, this cabin is located 10 minutes off a main road, up a very steep, bumpy, rocky, dusty incline – a 4x4 is absolutely required and I would not advise attempting this in the rain! Bring all groceries and supplies PRIOR to check-in because the drive up and...

"There is no air-conditioning which was covered in the rental guide book and it felt like renting from a computer. There was zero communication with property management. Which is why we couldn't watch tv during our stay. Other than that it was amazing. The road others call treacherous we found invigorating. The view, the pool the outdoor shower and the wildlife we saw was well worth the trip. We would consider renting here again if we could get a line of communication with property management."
