Beautiful location, amazing house

The property is beautiful. Nice views, clean, and well kept. Gustavo connected us with a local guide to arrange activities during our stay.My only concern was the lack of communication with the host. We asked a few questions about travel logistics with no response, no check-in instructions, and during our stay we asked about WiFi and never received a response.we were able to solve independently, but it was somewhat frustrating to fail to communicate.

An absolute dream!

Beautiful property, amazing views, and exceptional people! Everything was perfect. Gustavo took care of all of our booking requests involving the house, groceries, recreational activities, and transportation needs. Communication was a breeze. Jeffrey was on top of any questions or maintenance needs we had regarding the house. The housekeeper, Jenny, was so sweet and made sure we had a clean space to enjoy each day and cared for all our laundry needs. And last but not least, Herman and Doris provided our group the most flavorful and delicious meals each day. That may have been the highlight of our trip. Stay here and you will be so happy you did!

Ultimate Costa Rica experience

Our adult family of 7 really enjoyed our stay in Pavones. The house is incredible with extensive grounds to explore, wildlife at every turn and hosts that were so available and helpful to direct our questions. We had a superb chef that really introduced us to delicious Costa Rican cuisine every day of our stay. The waves were at their best during our time, but returning to our comfortable house and gorgeous swimming pool was over the top! We highly recommend this luxurious house and we will return again although it will be hard to repeat this ultimate experience! Thank you Gustavo, Jeffrey and all!

It brought up the beauty of nature, the quietness to appreciate the singing of the birds and the howling of the monkeys...a truly special stay.

An Unbelievable Experience...

We arrived at this wonderful house right in the middle of the Covid-19 lockdown in Costa Rica. All the beaches and national parks were closed and there were vehicle restrictions so some days you couldn’t drive at all. Without advice or a tour manager, being stuck in a foreign country was somewhat concerning. Nonetheless from the moment we arrived and met Gustavo we felt completely welcomed and reassured. Despite the lockdown, staying in this house was a most delightful experience. First and foremost, Gustavo is a very special man and the perfect house manager. He couldn’t be more helpful. No matter what our question or request he responded happily and without hesitation. From sorting out car rental issues, getting a puncture fixed, and sourcing organic chickens and fish - he was a star and a solid rock for insecure foreigners! Everyone at the house was so obliging. Jeffrey and his assistants were very kind and discreet - making sure we are given our privacy while the grounds and the pool were maintained - and we loved the freshly opened coconuts he brought us from the garden. Jenny who cleans and cares for the house is charming and couldn’t be more helpful. The house’s situation up on a hill within the jungle environment, overlooking the sea, (but within walking distance to the beach) is just spectacular. To wake up to the sunrise and watch the wildlife in the beautiful verdant jungle setting is a privilege. And then to watch the sunset over the sea while sipping drinks in the garden under the arms of the magical Balsa Wood Tree is quite enchanting. The house is architecturally beautiful. The inside outside living space with its flexible seating areas has been well designed and beautifully exploits every aspect of the setting whether it rains or shines. As a result it provides for a lovely, comfortable stay with everything you need within a gorgeous, natural and rustic environment. A fantastic experience! A big thanks to Gustavo, his delightful partner Adriana, and the team for all their kind attention and assistance during a very surreal time in Costa Rica.

Incredible Propeerty and Very Friendly Property Manager

This home is the most beautiful home I have ever stayed in. I build homes for a living and this is one of the most impressive homes I have ever come across. The property manager was very friendly and even brought me coffee in the morning. I can't see how anyone could be disappointed with a stay at this property.

Amazing Property ...Amazing Property management!

Just got back from bringing my entire staff to Pavones for a well earned company retreat. This home was as advertised...absolutely beautiful, comfy and functional inside for all of us (11). The vistas from the home is exceptional and the wild life around us was certainly an added bonus. There is a tree that seems to be the gathering place for toucans each sunset, we had "titi" monkeys just steps away in the trees, Macaws flying overhead...and to top it all off it was whale season so it was common to see whales breaching out of the water! What made the stay just that much better was the local manager on site...Gustavo and his lady friend Adrianna were so very helpful, friendly, and inviting. There were there to help us arrange all activities, take us to some local surf spots to surf, and was able to arrange 2 fishing boats on a last seconds notice. To me these two lovely people made the experience that much better. I mentioned to them I will be coming back to stay but ONLY if they are the managers !!! I highly recommend this rental property for large or multiple families !!

Incredible house and location. Exactly as advertised. Wonderful get away from it all

We had a large group of family (that stayed at this incredible property in the Pavones, Costa Rica 6/30-7/9 . Main house holds 10, and we rented the bird house (secondary property about 40 yards down hill from the main house) that holds 3 people. 1. Location. It was incredible to be on top of a roughly 200 foot cliff, overlooking the ocean in the distance, with about 1/3 of a mile of jungle below us running out to the shoreline. We brought a drone and shot video that Gustavo will post online. 2. Animals and birds. While sitting on the deck chairs or hanging out in the pool we watched monkeys, toucans, parakeets, vultures, and even a sloth - all roughly 25 - 75 yards away from the house. 3. House. All of the rooms were great, and if you are the main renter, highly recommend you take the separate bedroom that sits up on the hill over looking the pool. It has the best views of the ocean on the property. You walk up some stairs from the pool to get into it. The house also has good Internet, you can also watch Netflix. 4. Birdhouse. Really nice. One week rental at the birdhouse is roughly the same price as one day rental of the main house, so it is a great value. Downside is no hot water in the birdhouse. So you have to shower in the main house. 5. Staff. Gustavo, Jenny, and Santos are fantastic. Gustavo knows the area incredibly well, is friends with the investor that built the house. He took care of everything: arranging horseback rides, eco jungle walking trip, ATVs, taking our family out surfing, etc. Of course we gave him a good tip when we left (figure $50 a day to be fair to him)). Jenny, who did the house cleaning every day did a great job and we also paid her to do our laundry for us (a nominal fee). Santos is the on property maintenance man, his small house is across from the birdhouse. Everyone in the family loved him - and he is great at killing bugs you don't want to deal with. Tipped Jenny $120 and Santos $100 for the week. Surfing - Simply incredible. Long breaks, not too heavy. But the beaches are not as pretty - dark sand, rocks -as some spots in Costa Rica. Cautions Driveway - You need a 4 wheel drive. It is VERY steep. Passenger vans are a no go Bugs - It's the jungle. Spiders, frogs and crabs. They can get in the house. Santos will take care of them. Groceries - Two small stores in Pavones are expensive. Bakery is great though. Arrival Meal - We paid $15/pp for a cook to make dinner. Just OK

Beautiful!

This was one of our favorite vacations! We planned this trip last minute- with less than a week to set everything up- and Gustavo was hands down the most helpful gracious guest/house manager! The house is in the most beautiful location. It’s nestled up on a hillside with jungle all around with the most gorgeous view of the ocean. We loved seeing and experiencing all the wildlife right at the house! Pavones is definitely a hidden gem.

Luxury villa with views from every angle

We brought our family of nine here for spring break. I can’t say enough about the beauty of this home. You are truly in the jungle with all the sounds and sights. The sunsets will blow you away as you are perched on top of a hill overlooking the ocean with the infinity pool. The house is amazing. It has plenty of room and sleeping space for a large group or family. It was just an adventure like no other we have been on. This is not a huge town with tourist. It is remote. Gustavo made it easy on instructions of what our options of transportation would work best. We had a driver bring us in and then had our rental car delivered to the house. It was a very long drive but also very scenic and we saw a lot of Costa Rica that way. A 4x4 is a must as the roads are not paved. I also brought a suitcase full of snacks.. they have a few grocery stores in town,, and a few restaurants. It may not be what you are used to but it was part of the adventure. One more thing is it is very safe. Santos is the Care taker of the house. He lives in a separate little casita at the entry point. He is great at taking care of any problems with the home. We loved Santos! I could go on and on but you will have to experience it yourself. Thank you Gustavo for everything!

Just got back from staying here for almost 2 weeks and had an amazing time. The layout of the house is perfect and the location is second to none in the Pavones area. Gustavo set us up with everything we needed and the help at the house was the best. I will definitely be going back soon. Best spot I have been to in Costa Rica. Thank you guys for everything.

Amazing house in the jungle with access to super fun waves, genuine people and relaxed vibe

Stayed for 1 week in my friend Christopher's home on top of the hill in Pavones. Was amazing. Perfect location. Safe, relaxed and super comfortable. WiFi access great and consistent. In the jungle with all the sounds you would want to hear. Howler monkeys, geckos, mackaws, sloths, huge plants and lush foilage. Roads are bumpy but that adds to the overall experience. For surfing, access to multiple breaks within a 5 to 15 min drive. Walk through the jungle to access excellent left point breaks in 84 degree water. Worth taking the boat across the bay to Matapalo to surf the rights and an opportunity to see humpback whales in their natural environment. Fantastic trip. Definitely worth it.

No words

I honestly have no words to explain what a great experience we had at the house. We arrived a day early and Gustavo was extremely accommodating. He was one of the best hosts I have encountered in my many years of traveling. The house is simply beautiful: spacious rooms, great pool, and a breathtaking view. The house is also extremely close to Pavones beach. The staff, if you can call them that because they became more like friends, were amazing and always kind and cheerful. We wanted for nothing. I recommend if you are planning a trip to the area to look no further.

The house is stunning. The architecture is amazing but the sitting and view are priceless.

If you like looking out to the most beautiful view you are ever likely to see this is the place. You are literally on top of the world! You can watch the monkeys, toucans and macaws right in front of you as you are eye level with the canopy. The house is a architectural masterpiece. The flow of the house is amazing. Views from every room. The bonus is that the 4th room is a private casita. More of an ocean person but an infity pool is a nice touch. We have a house on the beach in hermosa and we came here for surf and my wife's birthday, very happy we did. Food is great, sheri's is delicious and not sure of the name but some of the best Italian down the road from the house. Gustavo and Santos are the best! Anything we needed they were very attentive and so nice! Highly recommend and we have pretty high standard even for CR.

Welcome to the Jungle while living like royalty!

Wow! What an amazing experience and I can't wait to return and I will be back again soon. The house is at the very top of the hill so from virtually every window facing towards the ocean there are fantastic ocean views. On the back side of the house it's a very dense jungle and a lot of wild life. The howler monkeys and McCaw Parotts and Toucans were nonstop. We never got a great view of the howler monkeys but a troop of 15 or 20 little monkeys made there way all the up to the house. It was truly awesome to see them come so close to us. If you're the prissy type this place may not be a good fit for you. You could nit pick about the floors being concrete and the rain forest is too loud and the power might go out for a few minutes during a storm ect. but if that is the case for you Pavone's is a bad idea for you period. So the house and the jungle experience was truly amazing all on its own but to make things even better the house keeper Jenny and the care taker of the home Santo's were the best of the best at making you feel welcomed and going way beyond normal to make sure everything was great. My group would be gone for hours either surfing or fishing and come back to the house and everything was cleaned including our clothes in the laundry basket. Plus they would bring us fresh cut coconuts and other fruits. Did I mention it was a truly amazing experience? Gustavo was not in town but he would also check in to see what more could be done to make our stay enjoyable. One last thing worth mentioning was the vibe of the town was unreal. While surfing I met a lot of people that were really friendly and I even took my first paddle board lesson from Sean who is a 57 year old guy from Florida that was tearing it up on his paddle board. Sean's wife Natalie also surfs and she grew up there and knows pretty much everything about Pavone's including buying a home there. BTW- his lessons were only $40 and he took us to basically a private beach and the lessons went several hours and worth every colony. The owners of the surf shop Sea Kings were really cool and we went fishing on a ponga right at Pavone's with Captain Juan. The first day we caught 9 yellow fin tuna and the second trip we fished and surfed at Mata Paulo. On our first morning a guy from Connecticut Nick welcomed us to his restaurant. He told us he moved there about 4 years ago following his sister Sherry's footsteps who owns a bar is next to the beach. Thank You for such an awesome vacation
