About this property

Privacy at this retreat, where indoors meets nature.

Private Costa Rican home with spectacular 360 glass views on a mountain top. 2bed 2bath glass retreat, Casa Moses is where the indoors meets nature. This retreat is located just 10 minute drive outside of Tamarindo in a private nature preserve. This is not a shared property.

It is a quiet and safe oasis. However it is close enough to key points of interest like top rated restaurants, surf spots, golf, tennis and spas. Completed in 2017, this jungle home uses one of a kind architectural components like Guanacaste wood and rock, sitting on three acres of land with the goal of private relaxation. Every room allows for easy star gazing through ceiling to floor glass views and five separate outdoor patios. Property has indigenous fruit trees, flowers and fauna with views all the way to the west coast ocean as well as the jungle canopy and volcanos to the east. Adventure activities such as ziplining and horse riding is located within the nature preserve.

Casa Moses has its own private driveway and the main floor sits 6 ft.off the ground for additional security
The main floor has an open concept living and dining rooms, the front entrance, along with the kitchen and pool/ patio and 18 foot vaulted ceiling. The infinty pool runs the length of the home with multiple entry points.

The 1st floor guest bedroom, patio, closet and bath is 5 steps up from main floor allowing for extra privacy from the main with high ceilings.

Via a floating wood staircase, the second floor contains the master bedroom, ensuite bathroom, private patio, closet and washer/dryer with large vaulted ceiling and custom tile from volcanic rock. The views are outstanding.

All wood features (doors, stairs and cabinets) were custom made in Costa Rica.

Our stay at Casa Moses Mountain
We enjoyed our stay in Costa Rica. Julie is a great host - responded right away, great communications. Lets start with the good. Location has an amazing jungle view, with birds, iguanas and howler monkeys off in the distance. Bedrooms and bathrooms are really nice, and the bed is very comfortable. A short drive to Tamarindo. Now the not so good. The property is tired. Old towels, old mismatched dishes. There are many dirt roads in Costa Rica, but the road up to the property is steep and rutted and generally quite challenging. I wouldn't want to attempt it in the rainy season. When we got to the property there were Ring cameras in the kitchen and living room. Creepy and invasive. They are easy to disable - you just take the battery out - but really, what were they thinking?

Paradise in the treetops!
Breathtaking views of nature with a 360• view! Beautiful home with amenities that made you just relax. Open the glass doors up during the morning for a wind that blows through the house. Wake up early to see and hear the monkeys!! The pool is divine! Don’t let the bugs scare you at all, just sweep them up and move on! We can’t wait to visit this casa again. It is truly home away from home.

Fantastic place
My friends and I spent 10 days there and we would have stayed more if we could have! You definitely need a Four-wheel drive to access the property. The house is clean and big, the terrasses are really great and the pool a big plus. Being surrounded my nature was fantastic! We had howler monkeys that came and ate the flowers on the tree right in front of us, there was an iguana that was visiting us everyday, chanting birds.. It can get very noisy early morning with the howler monkeys and the birds so if you are a light sleeper, bring earplugs! It does get hot in the house but you have AC in the bedrooms and fans elsewhere. We did get a scorpio in the house so just be careful and close all the windows all the time! The communication with Julie was great. We really loved our stay !

Xmas in Costa Rica
Staying at this property made our stay in Costa Rica special over the holiday season. The house is beautiful as it is functional—everything you need. Our family had the good fortune of being able to experience the howler monkeys in the mornings and late afternoon—what a treat. Julie is an excellent host, has quick communication and is very responsive. And yes –as other reviews have indicated, it is hot with all the windows in the afternoon, and it’s a perfect time to swim in the pool or be at the beach. The views from the home are breathtaking, and the overall experience of staying just outside of Tamarindo was worth it for our family—a short drive into town. Thank you, we will be sure to come back.

Why they chose this property

I fell in love with Costa Rica with my initial visit over five years ago. The opportunity to build custom house on a mountain with spectacular views in the middle of a nature preserve was a dream come true.

What makes this property unique

Custom designed home with a focus on outdoor living, with luxury amenities and design. While star gazing, sunset drinks, or bird watching you will feel you are one with nature. Sitting on top of a mountain the home has unobstructed views of amazing Costa Rican features such as volcanos and ocean sunsets.
