What a wonderful location! We enjoyed the nearby waterfall hikes. But even better was the beauty and solitude of the place. It has everything we needed to be able to just stay out and enjoy the nature.
There really are toucans that visit the property!

Everything about this place is a little magical and Gloria was the best host in terms of communication and recommendations. Would highly recommend exploring La Paz waterfall gardens and getting to Poas to see the volcano up close that you can see from the house. Also, would highly recommend having Yadi handle any meals as they were delicious and delivered right to the house. Take the time to explore the property and take the trail to the river. It’s a beautiful spot and great place to end our Costa Rica trip.

The house and the gardens are amazing! The large patios enabled us to enjoy being outside in spite of some rainy weather. We saw lots of beautiful birds.The neighbors were so friendly. We didn't have a car but one of them drove a taxi so it was easy to get to town, and another, Yadi, delivered delicious home cooked meals. It was a delightful experience!

Most relaxing vacay ever!

This home is a perfect retreat when you need rest. The outdoor spaces are perfect to watch birds, hear monkeys, experience the vegetation and enjoy fresh lemons and coconuts! We only left to attend a wedding otherwise we simply enjoyed the home and the rain forest.

Wildlife Haven!!

Such a perfect, clean, and private location that suited our family's needs. We walked the trail to the river several times during the day and night to observe the wildlife and photographed so many birds, insects, reptiles, and amphibians. We could have spent the entire week here!

This stay was a wonderful experience! We spent Christmas at Gloria's house and it was perfect. The house and grounds are beautiful, with a gorgeous view. We enjoyed the well-maintained trail down to the river from the house, and visited the Blue Falls - highly recommend for those able to manage some stairs and elevation. We had a couple dinners cooked by the neighbors and they were delicious. Yadi and her family are very kind, and invited the kids to see their newborn calf. We enjoyed listening to the monkeys and watching the toucans and hummingbirds. Highly recommend!

Perfect family set up in the jungle

This was a beautiful property inside and out. We loved the space. It was comfortable and clean. We loved exploring outside too. Perfect for our family to spend time together. Gloria was a wonderful host and helped us whenever we had questions about the area. Definitely a perfect set up for our family of 6!

Beautiful home, beautiful setting

My family of 5 loved this home! We stayed just two nights after staying near Manuel Antonio and then La Fortuna so we could visit the Blue Falls and have a short drive back to SJO - and then wished we could stay longer. The home is very well stocked, has several cute sitting areas, and is perfect for bird watchers. We really enjoyed a dinner in that the neighbor prepared for us. Our stay definitely exceeded our expectations!

A wonderful, unique place to stay

We absolutely loved this house, grounds, and location. The owner has thought of all the little things that make a house feel like a home. The huge outdoor porches with comfortable tables and chairs while looking at the Poas Volcano in the distance is a dream come true. Howler monkeys talked to us every day and the bird life surrounded the entire area. We really did wake to Toucans and Monkeys. If you want a place to stay that you’ll always want to come back to then this is it. Owner Gloria goes above all expectations to make this both comfortable and unique. Wish we could give it 10 stars.

Perfect Family Vacation!

My family of five stayed in Gloria's beautiful home for 7 days. She is the perfect host! She provided us with information for different things to do, where to eat etc. Everything was within an hour a way from the house. The location of this house is wonderful. It's away from the city and you feel like you are in your own paradise. The house itself is gorgeous. Gloria definitely made sure that we enjoyed our time in Costa Rica. My girls did not want to leave - thank you Gloria!!

Another day in Paradise

Our stay exceeded our expectations and was the best part of our trip to Costa Rica. Our hostess, Gloria, was amazing. She communicated in a prompt and caring manner to any questions. We were greeted by the wonderful neighbors upon arrival. Warm empanadas when we arrived, breakfast prepared at our house the next morning and dinner with amazing neighbors. I truly felt like I had landed in Heaven. We will return and absolutely appreciate the opportunity to experience a piece of Heaven on earth! Do not miss an opportunity to enjoy this fabulous property.

2024 Costa Rican Getaway

I have stayed at a lot of VRBO properties and this is by far one of the most unique & amazing. Very clean & comfortable. There are a lot of areas to spread out & enjoy your stay. My favorite was the raised deck above the parking area. Very Clean. Well appointed. Easy to codes & key for access & security. The host, Gloria was amazing, friendly, professional, responsive, & extremely helpful. The delivered local foods were unexpected & very very thoughtful. If you are reading reviews trying to decide whether to stay here or not, book it, you will not be disappointed.

Awesome!!!!!

The best place we have ever stayed! Everything you need and more!. Relaxing, hiking trails, rivers, monkeys, toucans, and many more beautiful birds to watch. The property is absolutely stunning. The home was exactly as stated and more. The pictures can not do it justice. Gloria, the host, was equally awesome. She goes above and beyond to make sure your stay is great. We have stayed in a lot of VRBO properties and this was the best experience and communication ever! The meals prepared for us were a real treat. Already planning our next trip there. Would not stay anyway else in Costa Rica!!!

Stay Here!!!

This place is exotic! 6 of us stayed here with plenty of space. The first day some of our group was ill and so we stayed in most of the day. It still felt like an exotic vacation. The views of the jungle, the wild life, and the plants are amazing on this property. We loved how much character the property and house has! The beds were so comfortable. The house had everything we needed. Gloria was so responsive and helpful. There is so much to do once we left the property. The neighbors are so nice! The local places to eat and close grocery stores were perfect. This place is next level! Our family travels often and I would recommend this place to everyone! Price was perfect!

Unbelievably Amazing

We were beyond please with this place, we spent two and half weeks here on and off, the beauty and abundance of nature contrasted with the beauty of the town, people and service went beyond our expectations, by far our favorite place so far in our yearly vacations to mi Tierra... we are so grateful of the existence of this place and the people who made our trip so wonderful with their sweet hospitality , truly heaven in tiquicia. Thank you again for everything. Stuff to check out the mi cafecito place, with it’s top typical Costa Rican food and amazing service, the small river after the rio sarapiquí was an amazing experience for all the three of our children ( 12 months, 5 year old and 8 year old), the day trip to the waterfall and then to the serpentario in La Virgen, the food there also delicious, also the pizza spot in that same town, off the chain... we hope we will be able to come again soon.
