Casa Matapalo – Private Jungle View Home in Jacó
A peaceful treetop escape with stunning views of the wetlands and total privacy.
Casa Matapalo is the most private unit within Jaco Casitas Rentals, a family-run property surrounded by jungle and tropical gardens. This elevated home offers a unique experience: it feels like you’re floating among the treetops, with views from nearly every corner—bedroom, kitchen, balcony, and terrace.
Perfect for couples, remote workers, nature lovers, and adventurous travelers seeking peace, comfort, and a deep connection with the Costa Rican jungle.
The Space
• Bedroom with 2 queen-size beds and panoramic garden and wetland views
• Air conditioning, fan, and fast WiFi
• Private bathroom with small closet (Note: the shower is not heated, water is naturally fresh due to the tropical climate)
• Fully equipped open kitchen, ideal for cooking while immersed in nature
• Private balcony with a hammock for relaxing, reading, or wildlife watching
• TV for when you want to unwind indoors
Important to Know:
To access Casa Matapalo, 4x4 is required and guests must climb approximately 70 steps from the parking area. The view and privacy at the top are worth it, but we recommend considering this if you have mobility or health concerns.
What Makes It Special:
• Elevated views over Jacó’s last remaining wetlands
• Total privacy – surrounded by jungle and located away from other houses
• Common sightings of iguanas, raccoons, butterflies, and tropical birds
• Designed to feel open, breezy, and deeply connected with the natural environment
• Beds have mosquito nets, and we suggest bringing repellent for outdoor comfort
Casa Matapalo is the perfect jungle hideaway for guests who want to disconnect from stress and reconnect with nature—without giving up comfort or convenience. Just a short drive from Jacó town, beaches, surf, and adventure.

About the host
Hosted by Paola
I’m a nature lover, surfer, aerialist, and passionate traveler based in Jacó, Costa Rica. Along with my family, we’ve created Jaco Casitas Rentals as a peaceful space where guests can disconnect from stress and reconnect with nature.
Hosting has become a beautiful way for me to share the lifestyle I love—surfing early mornings, walking barefoot in the garden, listening to the birds. I enjoy welcoming people from all over the world and helping them experience the real Costa Rica: full of life, simplicity, and pura vida energy.
If you have any questions before or during your stay, I’ll be happy to help. I want you to feel comfortable, safe, and inspired while staying in our home.

Why they chose this property
We chose this neighborhood because it offers the best of both worlds: it’s peaceful, green, and full of wildlife, yet just minutes away from the beach, great surf, and everything Jacó has to offer.
Our property is located near Jacó’s last remaining wetlands, which makes it a truly special place. You can hear birds singing in the morning, feel the breeze through the bamboo, and sometimes even spot monkeys or toucans nearby.
We love that we can enjoy privacy and nature here, while still being just a short drive from restaurants, supermarkets, and local life. It’s the perfect spot for those who want to relax, connect with nature, and still enjoy a bit of adventure.

What makes this property unique
Casa Matapalo offers one of the most private and elevated experiences in Jacó. Nestled in the hills of a protected family property, this home feels like a treetop hideaway, with stunning views over the wetlands and surrounding jungle.
What truly sets it apart is its design—light, open, and immersed in nature. From the kitchen to the bedroom to the hammock balcony, every space was created to help you feel calm, inspired, and connected to the outdoors.
The house is only accessible by a staircase of 70 steps, which adds to the sense of seclusion and serenity. It’s a rare find: a peaceful jungle escape with full privacy, fast WiFi, and all the essentials for a comfortable stay.
