This morning the sun rose over the ocean in a blaze of colors. Hundreds of parakeets, budgies and parrots flocked in the trees around the house, chirping, warbling and squawking about their day. As I got up to pour more coffee, the roar of a howler monkey let me know that one of the local monkey troupes was stopping by for a visit. Tonight I’ll sit on the veranda with friends, talking, laughing and watching as the full moon rises over the water painting a broad, silver path across the ocean under a sea of stars.

BRAND NEW HUGE, INFINITY VISTA POOL WITH STAR-GAZING DECK !!

This is the sort of experience that you can expect every day at the tropical paradise called La Colina de Carolina. Situated atop a steep bluff, it has a great vista of the Montezuma area; an elevated, stunningly majestic view of the sea. Beautifully constructed of pressure treated pine, every effort has been made to minimize construction impact on the surroundings.

La Colina de Carolina is only a 10-15 minute walk to Montezuma, making beaches, shopping, restaurants, dancing and even a game of pool easily accessible. However, it is far enough removed from the town to provide escape from the late-night revelry of the Montezuma tourist scene if you would rather relax and enjoy the peace and quiet of a tropical night under the stars. A private entrance together with its remote location and on-site caretaker provide you and your family or guests with total security. A car is not necessary to stay at La Colina de Carolina.

Upon arrival you will find a friendly property manager and caretaker waiting to show you around the property, demonstrate how to use the security devices such as the steel shutter doors and answer any questions that you may have. To get your first full day off to a great start, we are happy to make sure that the kitchen has coffee and milk waiting for you. We also offer free assistance with the procurement of any unusual products and services plus booking or arranging any activities or outings that you might wish to take part in.

The house has a full kitchen, large living area and a broad deck that wraps around two sides of the house and offers an excellent view of the sea. The elevated, sea-side location means constant breezes off of the water while our high ceilings, fans and huge windows and double doors all combine to keep the days cooler. Hand made wooden furniture, hammocks, optional meal and beverage services complete the picture of comfortable, tropical relaxation.

As mentioned we are happy to assist you in booking activities including:
Excursions to the Montezuma Cascades, Canopy and Cloud Forest tours with zip lines, day trips to Isla de Tortuga, (Turtle Island,) for snorkeling, volleyball and picnicking, golfing, surf lessons, shore and/or deep-sea fishing, sea kayaking, horseback rides on the beach and more.

Housekeeping is included for stays of 2 weeks or longer. We also offer an array of inexpensive services such as daily house keeping and laundry for those wishing to combine the jungle experience with more pampered living.

These services, as well as any activities booked on your behalf, must be paid when booked. Contact us for a quote on a complete vacation.

La Colina de Carolina is the perfect blend of comfort and tropical seclusion whether you want to disappear for a few days into lovely views, tropical bird songs and visits from the local troops of monkeys, travel throughout the area on adventurous day trips, spend some hot nights with the fire spinners and salsa dancers in Montezuma, relax and enjoy some pampered comfort, or a little bit of all of them. In the five years since it has been available to the public for rent, there has not been a single renter who hasn’t said that they’d return in a heartbeat.

Thank you for your interest, we look forward to hosting you.

    The house is very well equipped, and it has an amazing view. The pool is nice also. In general, it is a great place, very comfortable and close to town but not part of it (which is great because you can rest and have privacy)

    This was a very nice property. The grounds were lovely, the porch heavenly, the pool refreshing, and the monkeys abundant. The nearby beach swimming was not as we had hoped and the proximity of the road was a little distracting. However, we would come back again if the opportunity arose. Great homeowner and manager! Very easy to work with and welcoming.

    My husband was absolutely in love with the cabin! I was very well maintained and I just enjoyed their beautiful pool as much as possible! Night swimming was just wonderful with the gorgeous lights the pool has! The wildlife at night was at times calming even with the howler monkeys nearby lol. Luis and Ginni were great at helping us with taxis when our calls were not going thru. My step daughter absolutley enjoyed the hammock! She even considered sleeping in it over night lol People in town were just wonderful and very friendly. I would definetly recommend and as a matter of fact I have had people already ask me about this Colina de Carolina.

    We loved La Colina de Carolina! It was like a treehouse oasis—beautiful landscape, cozy cabina with everything you need, lovely porch and awesome pool and view. Howler monkey alarm clocks, which we didn't mind. We had family staying down in town who were able to give us rides up the steep hill, though we did walk down with our kids a few of the mornings (15-20 min walk). Gini was so helpful in greeting us and getting us situated. We were very sad to leave!

    This was by far the best stand-alone property that we have rented anywhere. Our host and her caretaker were wonderful. The site is uphill from Montezuma so close enough to walk (if you can manage the hill) but cabs were always available in town if you couldn't. There was a little bit of road noise but nothing that disturbed us - we felt alone in this paradise. No a/c was not a problem there was always a delightful breeze and plenty of fans to cool the inside (we were only inside to cook and sleep anyway). And the pool - pictures are good but they don't do it justice, we were in it every day we were there, and it was so delightful to return from a day's adventure and spend the evening watching the sky while having a float! We would not hesitate to book this location again.

    This cabin location has beautifully maintained garden and infinity pool with incredible view. We stayed in July and every night was lightning storm and every day was sunny. Each morning woke to howler monkeys and beautiful birds while enjoying coffee. It was exceptionally humid this July. The house was better than town and we learned that dipping in the infinity pool helped cool us down prior to sleeping. Luis was friendly onsite caretaker with great insights on the area.

    Mesmerizing, Paradise, Comfortable just to stay put, just need groceries and wine and beer, and stay put and dnjoy the infinity pool and nature. We love Montezuma, plenty of restaurants and bars and shopping. You catch either a bus or a taxi just up the road from the drive way. We just either hated a taxi or thumbed it. The Tico's are wonderful people, aimed to please. Carolina and Luis are the best, and will help in any way. This place is booked for next winter, or we would have booked it before we left. You will all love it here, and will ot want to leave, as we do not want to leave.

    The perfect place to relax, gorgeous view from wrap porch. Nice to dip in pool afternoons. House has everything you need to cook. Comfortable for two people, more would be cramped inside using futon with little personal storage/space. Montezuma town is a bit gritty, roads are tough in the area. Must have a car.

    This location and accommodations are a treasure. The personnel is very attentive while insuring full privacy. The wild life and the views are spectacular. This is an experience to repeat and share with friends.

    What an oasis in beautiful Montezuma. This property was even better then we expected - the photos online do not do it justice. The house is fully-stocked with everything you may need in the kitchen, plus Carol provides pool toys and beach mats, books, lots of info about the area, and entertainment. It was immaculately clean and very comfortable. We just loved waking up to the sounds of birds and monkeys, eating our breakfasts out on the beautiful deck overlooking the pool and the Pacific, and planning our days. And the pool - wow! My 9-year-old would have stayed in it the entire 5 days we were there if had let him. We only wish we had scheduled even more time here - we will be sure to come back!

    We spent ten days of bliss at LCC in December/January. From the giddy moment of arrival to the sad moment we had to leave, we found the property to be a delightful place for rest, relaxation, and reflection. As others have noted, there is no end to the time one can spend on the patio or pool deck, being caressed by the breeze and captivated by the sounds and views. Carol, the owner, was inviting and thorough in her correspondence; Ginette, the property manager, warmly greeted us and gave a fantastic rundown of both the property and the region; Luis, the caretaker, respected and ensured our privacy while being incredibly kind and gracious with our requests and queries. Various notes: -The building is beautifully crafted. -The pool is superb. -Stargazing from the pool or deck is highly recommended. I have never seen so many stars. -Despite the 26-30 degree heat, we slept comfortably at night and for naps during the day with the fans going -The kitchen is very well appointed for cooking. We cooked most of our breakfasts, eating it at our leisure from the beautifully crafted patio dining table -We ate most dinners in Montezuma and area's many excellent restaurants (Puggo's, Cocolores, and Sano Banano being our favourites) -Nice appliances (fridge, stove, clothes washer/dryer) and fast internet were unexpectedly appreciated luxuries -We made great use of our rental SUV. In fact I would suggest a vehicle is required as the ~1.5km road up from the village is steep, winding, busy during the day, and not pedestrian-friendly. Many of the roads in the area required at least moderate ground clearance, with 4x4 recommended (possibly a necessity in rainy season)
