Casa Guarumo

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

Casa Guarumo is a magical place for those looking for a family experience or with a large group of friends. This is the largest house in Monteverde and Santa Elena and is located in a privileged area, right in the middle of the cloud forest but also close to great restaurants and convenience stores. The main forest reserves of the area are very close and you can even reach some of them by walking from private trails from the same property. It is common to see hundreds of birds and many mammals such as sloths, howler monkeys, white-faced monkeys, raccoons, coatis, armadillos, agoutis, squirrels, hammers, and a variety of hummingbirds and bats. The different balconies of the house are ideal to enjoy the beautiful sunsets and relax listening to the wind, the rain, or the sounds of the forest. Spread out in the comfortable living room area, enjoy your favorite TV shows or movies, and take delight in a fun-filled afternoon. The kitchen is fully-equipped and has everything you could ever need to whip up the most delicious meals and snacks at any time. There is also a large social area that offers an outdoor firepit where you can sit and roast some s'mores or just share all of your adventures here in Puntarenas or enjoy a delicious outdoor cookout. The house is fully equipped and also includes a free maid service every morning who will help with the cleaning. This spacious and gigantic vacation rental will help you leave all of your worries at the door. Book now!

What’s nearby:
Casa Guarumo is 100 meters from the historic center of Monteverde. Around this beautiful park, there is a mini-market of organic products and vegetables, a coffee barista, and a cooperative where in addition to handcrafts, they offer the best breakfasts and lunches in the area with typical specials of Costa Rican food. We recommend visiting the private natural reserves Cricancha and Bosque Eterno de Los Niños, just a 0.2-mile walk from Casa Guarumo. In addition to food recommendations, Stellas Bakery offers the best fusion pastry, and just 50 meters away is Tramonti, with its succulent Italian menu and the best handmade Monteverde pizza. For those who like chocolate, you can also visit a delicious gourmet chocolate shop just 50 meters from Tramonti and on the ground floor enjoy the best bat and vampire observatory in Costa Rica. Very near the park of Monteverde is the cheese factory where besides being able to acquire delicious artisanal cheeses, you can live the experience of a tour of the historic factory. Santa Elena downtown is only one and a half miles away and there you will have big supermarkets, drug stores, bank offices, and a vast variety of bars and restaurants.

Monkeys!!
Pros- well stocked kitchen, beautiful main area/family space, Jairo was nice and used his technology to communicate & monkeys that will take bananas right out of your hand if offered Cons- downstairs smells- stuff left in washer & both dryers - key situation wasn’t ideal (separate keys for all rooms with outdoor entries & only one key to family area) -no hot tub as listed- not within walking distance of town- more run down than pictures indicated- maid came at 8 am on checkout day Animals we saw: monkeys, armadillo, coati, agouti, bunny, squirrels, butterflies & tons of birds We enjoyed our stay overall- family dinners & game nights and again the monkeys were a once in a lifetime experience

Fantastic wildlife but house was targeted by thieves.
The property had fantastic grounds and wildlife including toucanets and monkeys. Unfortunately, it is a known rental property and is target by thieves. We visited for spring break and the house was broken into while we were out to dinner. We only left a few times for short trips prior to the break-in so we must have been watched. All doors were locked. The gate was also closed and locked. The thieves broke into the main buildings and stole all our valuables. It sounded like this was not the first time when dealing with the authorities. With that said, we did enjoy the property and the caretaker Jairo, was extremely helpful through the issues. He really went above and beyond. We would have given this a 1 star without his help.

Very cool place!
We were greeted by monkeys, doesn’t get better than that! Was a very cool space, one thing to note is the main living space has an open bedroom in it, but the rest of the bedrooms all require going outside to access. They each have their own bathroom, though, so wasn’t an issue for us. Super close to Stella’s, went for breakfast both days we were there and it was delicious. Less than 10 minutes drive from the cloud reserve and about 15-20 to most other attractions. Could also walk to town if you don’t have a car. Highly recommend this place!

Serenity in the Monteverde Cloud Forest
We loved the uniqueness of this home. A birders paradise and loved the monkey antics. Walking to Stella's Bakery, the coffee shop across the street and the Vegan grocery was a bonus.

Unique spot, in a good way!
The property is in an excellent location, a short drive from Montverde. It has both indoor and outdoor fireplaces (we used the one indoors) and it was surrounded by wildlife and trees. Were were visited several times a day by a troop of capuchin monkeys who plated in the trees around the house. The layout may be a bit odd for some families, each bedroom has a separate entrance with it's own key. It worked fine for us, however. Really nice place, highly recommended.
