Enjoyable stay

It is a very nice property in a good location for viewing nature on the Osa Peninsula. I watched howler and capuchin monkeys moving through the canopy in the back yard and many tropical birds and butterflies from the house deck. The house was clean and comfortable and manager was accommodating.

Casa Luna Negra was perfect for our stay. The property is very well presented and the kitchen exceptionally well equipped, which is really important when you are self catering for a week. The mid stay clean was welcome too. The gardens were beautiful and we saw plenty of. It’s, monkeys and even a tamandua during our stay. We didn’t have a car so the suggested taxi transfer from Puerto Jimenez was very useful and we were able to pick up supplies at the supermarket on the way to the house. We contacted the property manager a couple of times and she was quick to respond and deal with our queries. Highly recommended place to stay and unwind. Pura Vida!

Spectacular house

We had an amazing time at Casa Luna Negra. The house was beautiful and had wonderful areas to watch birds and monkeys in the backyard. We enjoyed playing the family games provided. The pans were all high quality and the kitchen was more than sufficient to make great meals. Spacious bedrooms, comfortable beds and an amazing shower. The cleaning and management contacts were very nice and helpful as well.

Fantastic house!

This was the most comfortable place we stayed in Costa Rica - the beds are great, lovely big kitchen and dramatic, sociable terrace outside. We also saw the largest variety of birds here, even more than right next to the Corcovado park. Howlers and squirrel monkeys came into the garden every day - it was our best view of the howler monkeys! Puerto Jimenez is only 20 minutes away for food and supplies, but the proximity of the road is not a problem. Lovely, friendly cleaner, Maru. As the garden matures and more useful items (such as yoga mats) are provided, it will become even better (it is very new).

5 Stars all around

Enjoyed our weeks stay so much we extended by a day and were sorry to leave. Constructed of beautiful hardwoods and surrounded by lush greenery which attract wildlife. You’ll be awakened by 5 in the morning by the jungle waking up, join them! Marcella has decorated with such fun pieces everywhere you look, many of them from Artes de Osa right in Puerto Jimenez. The rooms lock securely, there is lockable iron at the bottom of the stairs and a safe in the M bdrm. Kitchen has high quality items, a full fridge/freezer. Downstairs bathroom is huge with an amazing shower (on demand hot water if you think you need it). The road was receiving a lot of attention while we were there-February. It was in surprisingly good shape but we were happy to have a 4x4 due to one bridge being out and for side roads we wanted to explore. Favorite beach - Playa Pan Dulce in Matapalo, calm waters for swimming and plenty of shade on the beach. Marcella has created a lovely home for her family, she is welcoming and helpful.

One with Nature @ Luna Negra

A most incredible open air experience! Luna Negra is a gorgeous, well maintained, well equipped, and well constructed home surrounded by the lush CR greenery and fruit trees. My wife and I love birds, the beach, peace and tranquility which is what this property offers. It was truly difficult to say goodbye to Luna Negra. The rocky vast beach is a 5-minute path walk from the home where you will see and smell a bit of the CR countryside. Certainly bring a good pair of water shoes! One can walk the beach without seeing anyone or just a few; very private and peaceful. The tide is strong so caution is advised for swimming; however, my friend and I swam every day! On the property daily are chatty, stunningly beautiful Scarlet Macaw parrots who enjoyed eating almond fruits and resting in the magnificent cecropia trees on property and freely flying overhead. Awake to the incredible and melodious tunes of the tropics with an occasional deep howl from the male howler monkey, which we looked forward to hearing! Take time to walk the property each morning, and you will observe a plethora of birds: hawks, Cherrie’s tanager, Rufous-breasted wren, green parrots, blue-gray tanager, great kiskadee, yellow-crowned euphonia, plus! The modern mosquito netted beds are so comfortable and the view is awe inspiring from the master bedroom with the doors open. We enjoyed cooking each night in the open air kitchen…so much fun! Read the house rules book when you arrive! Love this property! 5 Stars!

Wonderful, comfortable Osa house.

Amazing if you like to spend time at home as the garden is full of birds and monkeys all day. The beds, bedrooms and facilities are perfect at this lovely house, it feels much more like you are staying in someone’s treasured holiday home than in a regular holiday let, we lived spending time on the enormous veranda.
