Welcome to Your Nature-Lover’s Paradise!

This home is a dream come true for anyone who loves nature! Nestled in a lush garden filled with vibrant flowers and fruit trees, it offers a peaceful escape just 200 yards from the warm waters of the Caribbean. On almost any given day, you’ll hear the calls of toucans and howler monkeys or spot iguanas, exotic butterflies, sloths, parrots, agoutis, and even tropical frogs right from the property. This truly unique home provides an intimate connection with nature like no other in Cahuita.

While you’ll be surrounded by the beauty of the real Costa Rica, you won’t have to sacrifice comfort. The home is equipped with:
*A full-sized kitchen with high-quality appliances
*Reliable WiFi
*A safe for your laptop and valuables
*On-demand tankless hot water
*A U.S.-standard purification system for safe drinking water

Adventure Awaits Just Minutes Away!
If you decide to venture beyond this tropical haven, you’ll find plenty to do within a short walk:
-Take a surf lesson
-Go horseback riding
-Snorkel in crystal-clear waters
-Savor delicious local cuisine at Chow's Paradise Restaurant
-Enjoy the laid-back vibes at Reggae Bar

Downtown Cahuita is just a 15-minute walk away—close enough to explore its wonderful restaurants, shops, bars, and tour agencies, but far enough to enjoy peace and tranquility without needing a car.

Don’t Miss Cahuita National Park!
Here, you can relax on pristine beaches, kayak through the stunning waters, or take a jungle walk while watching monkeys swing effortlessly through the trees.

Choosing the Right Place for Your Stay
To help you find the perfect accommodation, consider asking hosts these important questions before booking:
1) Will I need to cross a highway to reach the beach
2) Is the nearest ocean access sandy or rocky with old coral formations
3) Do you have a water purification system (Avoid losing precious vacation time to stomach issues!)
4) Can I flush toilet paper, or does it need to go in a waste bin

A Few Important Notes
-The stairs to the second floor are steeper than usual. If you have mobility concerns, the downstairs bedroom may be a better option.
-This is a lush, natural area of Costa Rica, meaning you may occasionally see a gecko or an interesting insect inside. If this isn’t your vibe, a more urban location might be a better fit.

I’m happy to help with any questions—looking forward to welcoming you to Cahuita!

    It was absolutely fantastic! Troy accommodated us in every way possible and we would happily stay again. His recommendations for dining were spot on, and we enjoyed them throughout our trip. His place was easily accessible with wildlife nearby, as well as excellent food and beach access. Can’t wait to return!

    What a lovely property to return to each day to relax, read, grab a bite, and sleep. The house is adorable and property is beautiful with the pond, flowering trees and bushes. We saw and heard so many birds just sitting on either porch. A community of howler monkeys stayed in a tree across the street several nights and were the perfect alarm clock for our early morning activities. Troy came to our aid whenever we needed something - immediately! He is a great host.

    Our host was amazing. Very friendly and willing to help us find great places to eat and awesome things to do. The location is perfect, only a couple minute walk to the beach and restaurants. The house is quaint, with absolutely gorgeous grounds. Many unique and beautiful flowers, lots of cool birds and (my favorite) howler monkeys to listen to in the distance. My only setback about this property is that it, like many places in Costa Rica, does not have AC. We had some fans, but it was not enough for us who are unaccustomed to the heat and humidity of Costa Rica. The windows open, but many don’t have screens on them to prevent bugs from coming in at night. I understand this is a completely normal situation in Costa Rica, but for us there simply wasn’t any escape from the heat.

    This Vrbo was the perfect fit for my friend and I. We came to Costa Rica to bird, and it was hard to leave the property at times because there were so many. 10 Iguanas in eye shot at one time, howler monkeys in the trees, beautifully landscaped yard. The host lives next door and was very helpful with questions of where to eat and what to do. Cahuita is a quiet small town with chill vibes. Definitely not a party town.

    Troy met us upon arrival and continued to be very helpful with information about the local town and surrounding activities. Also great at pointing out animals we could see from the property. Rustic cabin was very suitable for us and we enjoyed relaxing on upper deck with binoculars ready. Steep stairs would not be suitable for someone with mobility issues. Would choose again.

    Close enough to walk, far enough tucked away to witness wildlife and still hear the waves. Great host helped with tours and activities! We saw poison dart frogs, tucans, macaws, howler monkeys, and hummingbirds from the patio! A jungle cabin, this place is rustic enough to let you witness nature, but with on demand hot water and wifi.

    Surrounded by jungle, this 2 bedroom cottage gives you the true feeling of Pura Vida We woke up to the sounds of howler monkeys, toucans, and many other birds. We saw iguanas sunning themselves, frogs, and all sorts of critters walk through the beautiful yard. Our host Troy was so helpful with great suggestions of what to do, where to go. We would come back here in a heart beat! :) Kat & How

    So amazingly beautiful, the photos don't do it justice. We sat on the patio. just soaking up the sounds and sights of the forest and a couples of times, we were lucky enough to be out there for monkey playtime in the trees across the road. House was clean and comfortable. Bathroom is small, but the shower was excellent: great water pressure and perfect water temperature. We walked to the beach and went into the ocean every day, too. Owner was super friendly, and had great restaurant recommendations. He was also able to answer questions about other local activities. The town has great restaurants and shops. Overall, this was the best vacation we've ever had. We will back, for sure. :)

    We loved our stay here! Great private, 2-story home a very short walk to the beach. It was easy to walk anywhere in town from here. We recommend taking the 2 PM or earlier bus from San Jose because we got in very late from the 4 PM. Lots of cool wildlife visible from the house in late August: toucans, iguanas, frogs, noisy monkeys. Troy is an amazing host, very attentive and easy to communicate with. He made this great stay even better!

    Family of 4 stayed for 4 nights, 2 double bedrooms and a sofa bed on the ground floor, fans everywhere kept us cool. We loved the house and the location next to the beach, a few restaurants close by but also easy to walk into town. Seeing the monkeys, toucans and other wildlife from the balcony was a highlight. Troy was on hand if needed but not intrusive.

    Secure property w/locked gate, quiet, easy walk to beautiful beach & easy drive to lots of activities. Fairly private (host lives next door so you’ll hear each other daily), beautiful flora, some fauna though “more than in the national park” is false. Agoutis & tree frogs in yard, can hear/see monkeys in the distance. No sloths/monkeys/toucans in mango tree in yard like I’d pictured from the listing. Other pros: western-style toilet, filtered water faucet, 3 boogie boards & 2 beach towels, outdoor hose for rinsing & clothesline for drying, full-sized fridge & basic kitchen supplies, good wifi, laundry & house cleaning provided once included. Cons: house is old, hot, & dirty. No A/C, couple ceiling fans didn’t help, 1 ancient floor fan did nothing. Host brought an extra better fan on request. Every day there were critters in the house - roaches, ants, lizards, termites, despite us leaving no food out. We even put our toothbrushes in a tupperware container. Multiple kinds of droppings (poop) & termite dust & ants daily on kitchen counters, by trash can, stairs, windowsills, floor. Host aware, came & said he thought it was bat poop (inside the house?!) & “fixed” some hole in the wall while we were out which lessened the poo, but didn’t get rid of it. In short I never could relax fully there. Didn’t wanna be barefoot inside, almost too hot to sleep, constantly bitten by ants/mosquitoes. We left 4 days early out of 12 we had booked.
