Stayed Oct 19, 2025Troy was a wonderful host - helped us get settled in and made us feel very welcome. Location was fantastic, so close to the beach and restaurants. Having a full kitchen and shower was so nice, and the family had a great time exploring the beautiful yard.

Stayed Jan 8, 2026Troy was terrific as a host and a neighbor. Very kindly offered the best options in town and gave us a lovely place to stay with privacy, animals and close enough to town while not smack in the middle of it! Thank you!

Stayed Jun 14, 2025It 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!

Stayed Apr 15, 2025What 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.

Stayed Mar 10, 2025Our 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.

Stayed Feb 5, 2025This 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.

Stayed Jan 29, 2025Troy 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.

Stayed Dec 21, 2024Close 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.

Stayed Dec 5, 2024Surrounded 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

Stayed Nov 18, 2024So 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. :)

Stayed Aug 26, 2024We 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!

Stayed Jul 5, 2024Family 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.

Stayed Jun 13, 2024Secure 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.
