Beach villa w/fiber optic internet- Steps to beach with garden full of wildlife!

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!

Garden oasis

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.

Everything You Need

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

Great stay

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.

Honeymoon Oasis

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!

Relaxing Rainforest Retreat

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. :)

Enjoyable trip

Troy was an amazing host. The cabin was an off the beaten path but still close enough to everything you would need. There is tons of wildlife near, we got to see monkeys, frogs, sloths, agoutis, and toucans. Inside the cabin was really nice and it had all the items we needed for a great trip. The beach was a short distance away. The food was amazing in Cahuita!! We loved the area. Would definitely visit again.

Great ecotourist location

We stayed here for 6 days during our spring break and loved the chill Caribbean side of Costa Rica. Troy was a fantastic host who was very helpful and also respectful of not intruding. The house and yard were amazing with all sorts of wildlife seen right from the porch. The whole town is walking distance and an amazing beach only a block away. We would stay here again if we come back.

Waiting for the day we return to Cahuita 😊

Troy's Place was everything we could ask for. The property was beautiful & serene. We could hear the ocean & wildlife while sitting on the porch. What can I say about our host, Troy is the epitome of what a host should be. He has a welcoming demeanor and a wealth of knowledge about the town and wildlife. We will definitely be staying at Troy's place the next time were in Costa Rica.
