Breathtaking Ocean & Rainforest Valley View

This home is truly a special place. The house is immersed in nature in a very private setting with a gorgeous ocean and rainforest view. Because of its privacy, you will almost certainly see monkeys, all kinds of birds, and much more wildlife than your average place in this area. The house is a 5 minute drive, or ~35 minute walk to Montezuma center and it’s beaches (2.5km away)

Fast FIBER OPTIC internet available makes this an ideal place to work from home.

There are three bedrooms (2 queen beds, 1 king) and three full bathrooms in the house - two bedrooms upstairs and one downstairs. On the ocean/ valley side there is a beautiful upstairs balcony, and a large deck on the lower level with a plunge pool.

This home was built and designed with great care and lots of love, and you will feel that warmth. The upstairs balcony is magical for morning coffee and during twilight hours. Full kitchen, laundry room, and many places to relax. The grounds are super private with no neighbors, and there are many growing fruit trees on the property. There is also a fire pit in the yard.

The house is designed with natural cooling techniques (constant ocean/ valley breezes, the floors are cool to the feet, monitor roof, shaded by the surrounding trees), so while there is no A/C, there is no need for it. The house naturally maintains a pleasant temperature. There are plenty of ceiling fans as well throughout.

I have two cats named Yoshi and Uva who typically stay with me next door, but they are free to come and go to the this property as they please. They are super sweet. Guests with severe cat allergies have stayed here many times in the past without issue because the house is wonderfully open and airy and regularly cleaned thoroughly.

The view is worth it!
We stayed at 2 places on our family trip to Costa Rica. This was the second (first was on the Caribbean side). This location is remote, and off the main road so you will need a 4X4. But that is exactly what we wanted and that is exactly what we got! Unbelievable view. Great deck, plenty of room for a family of 5. It was not on solar when we were there which to me was a plus as we did not have to worry about running the dishwasher, etc. The washer was not working, which was a disappointment. But things break so you just deal. Dave was responsive and tried hard to get it going, which we appreciated. If I had to find something we did not like, it is very minor. Several of the light switches were broken or not operational. But, we managed just fine and it was not a big enough deal for me to call Dave. Some of the screening had holes and some screen doors show their age. But again, it was manageable and was not a deterrent in any way. Just an observation. Dave was great and responsive on any inquiries He set us up with a sweet captain to go fishing and, unfortunately, when we had some stomach issues, he recommended a great pharmacy. Overall this was a really nice and enjoyable experience. You will love the view and all the peace and quiet that comes with this beautiful home. Would stay there again for sure!

Unique and Beautiful
Pictures don’t do this home justice. It is gorgeous inside and out. Incredible views of the forest and Pacific Ocean and a soundtrack provided by a variety of birds, howler monkeys and other wildlife. The splash pool provides the perfect place to cool off. Dave was an excellent communicator and was generous with recommendations for restaurants and for help with directions. Be aware that the place is quite remote and it’s literally off the grid (but with excellent WiFi). The roads in the area are dirt and are rough in many places. We had no trouble and enjoyed the open air nature of the house. It was warm during our visit, but breezes felt great.

Living the Vida Local
For our first trip to Costa Rica, our family wanted to stay somewhere we could feel like locals, and Dave's house fit the bill perfectly. This beautiful and secluded property is nestled in a lush jungle-like setting, surrounded by towering trees, vibrant flora, and the sounds of local wildlife. It's spacious and comfortable with a rustic charm that allowed us to live simply--something we really needed and appreciated. A week here wasn't enough.

Exceeded our expectations.
Beautiful place… we encounter multiple animals, specially at dusk and dawn just hanging out on one of the porches/balconies. In one of the rooms, a bit too much curious little visitors at night, but besides that everything was perfect. Communication with the host Dave was easy.
