Your own house in the jungle, 5 minutes from the beach!

Your own house in the jungle, 5 minutes from the beach!

10/10 Excellent
"Het is een open jungle huis. Slaapkamers zijn wel afgesloten. Gevolg is dat de dieren van de jungle ook binnen leven. Mooie ervaring.Het zwembad is echt fantastisch. Dag en nacht. Ook heerlijk sterren kijken vanuit het zwembad. Voor ons een top moment was toen 2 toekans in de boom naast het zwembad kwamen te zitten. Het ligt tegen een berg op. Fantastisch uitzicht! Voor de weg heb je wel echt 4x4 nodig. Zonder kom je niet boven. We dachten dat we 6 slaapkamers zouden hebben, dat werden er 5. 1 slaapkamer zat in soort bijgebouw, te vochtig en teveel schimmel om te gebruiken.Wij deden er ongeveer 10 minuten om op strand te komen. De weg naar boven was voor ons te stijl om te lopen.We hadden nog een wespennest boven zwembad, maar de tuinman kwam gelijk om weg te halen. Verder wel iedere dag een grote spin uit 1 van de slaapkamers buiten moeten zetten, daar moet je tegen kunnen.Het huis is goed gelegen voor uitstapjes naar zowel Uvita als Manuel Antonio."

"Justo Perfecto truly lived up to its name! We had an incredible stay and couldn’t have asked for a better home for our time in Costa Rica. The house was beautiful, comfortable, and the perfect place for our family to relax and enjoy everything Costa Rica has to offer.Jennifer was wonderful to work with, and Rambo and his team went above and beyond throughout our stay. They were incredibly responsive, helpful, and accommodating and made everything so easy for us. The meals they prepared were absolutely delicious and were one of the highlights of our stay!The house, the hospitality, and the level of service made this such a special trip for our family. We made wonderful memories at Justo Perfecto and would absolutely stay here again. Highly recommend!"

"This place is absolutely a slice of paradise! The property is even better than what the pictures depict. The house was extremely spacious and well-equipped. Elizabeth was extremely communicative and helpful. We had 2 issues come up that were resolved very fast- a wasp nest on the ceiling and a broken sink in the bathroom by the pool. The gardener, Sheldon was great too! He helped us find sloths in the trees around the property. We saw more monkeys, sloths, toucan, and scarlet macaws than we can count just while we were sitting by the pool. We will ABSOLUTELY be back here!"

"Pura Vida!!What a beautiful Casita and a consummate host. I can't tell which I enjoyed the most. From my initial inquiry before booking the property, Gelena was responsive, informative and gracious. She is such an amazing human and I wish all people could be more like her.The Casita was immaculate. On this trip I am learning the difference between "fully equipped" and "well stocked". Gelena's Casita is both!I was there for two full weeks and was able to enjoy quietness, peace and serenity away from all "the noise", physically, mentally and most important for me, spiritually.This place is a perfect retreat for those looking to reconnect with themselves and with the Spirit that resides in each of us.You definitely need a 4x4 vehicle and Gelena clearly explains that in her description and communication with you. Just don't forget your driver's license (inside joke)!Thank you, Gelena, for making this a place of respite. I will be forever grateful."

Ocean View Villa Surrounded By Rainforest 5 Mins To Beach Near Manuel Antonio Pk

10/10 Excellent
"This property has the most gorgeous views ever!! Amazing!! It was very spacious! There was a beautiful patio for family meals, as well as a nice big sitting area for everyone to hang out. We loved the huge kitchen! It was very well stocked with some great seasonings too. There was plenty of room for all 3 of my girls to get in there at once to fix food, as they loved doing! The pool was gorgeous!!! Everybody LOVED swimming in it!! We had trouble getting up to the property the first time. You have to rent a 4-wheel drive, but also check that the tires are good, and you know how to turn on the 4-wheel drive. It was quite scary in the dark the first time. The boys helping us navigate up were life savers! The driveway is also very steep - don’t walk down it in sandals. I took quite a tumble. It was incredible with all the animals everywhere!!! We saw monkeys at sunset and dawn, lots of birds, and even a toucan! My daughter and I just stood outside at night listening to all the jungle noises. Incredible!!! There was a resident Coati we loved, who enjoyed our papaya we left out for 5 mins. Oops. The host was extremely responsive and helpful! FYI, in the rainy season, the electricity does go out. That happened to us in 3 different places during our stay in Costa Rica. This location is incredible and close to lots of things to see and explore! It’s definitely not for the faint of heart, but wow what an adventure of beauty and nature if you’re up for it!!! Five stars!!!"

"Loved our experience at Casa Alba. The staff was helpful to bring us a lighter to light the grill, offered a complimentary house cleaning midway through our stay. The bats and toucans around the place were great. The kitchen was stocked with enough equipment to allow us to cook our meals. Pool time was great and the views were fantastic."
