A beautiful house not far from Santa Elena, with restaurants and activities such as Monteverde Cloud Forest Reserve and Selvatura just a short drive away! The patio is so nice to just relax and watch birds.

Perfect place to stay when visiting Monteverde and ideal for our family of 2 adults and 2 children. The Sun House had absolutely everything we needed and more. The views from the deck are spectacular and we particularly enjoyed listening to the large variety of birds around the property. Location is great with many shops and restaurants just a short drive away. Highly recommended!

This house exceeded our expectations. It was not very difficult to find, especially when you follow Evelyn's map and video. It's just right up the road from downtown, a great location. It was in pristine condition - spotless. The views from the back patio are incredible. Beds were very comfy. We will definitely come back!

Great view from the balcony. House was close to town. Google maps took us to a different location and took us a while to find it. The house was clean and well equipped. We appreciated Evelyn’s help in arranging a guide for us. We enjoyed our stay!

Perfect doesn’t even begin to describe how amazing the sun house is! This is, by far, is the best rental we’ve ever stayed in. The house is BEAUTIFUL, thoughtfully laid out, clean as can be, and perfectly equipped. The location was ideal for all of our Monteverde adventures. We definitely appreciated that it was slightly off the beaten path and away from the crowds (a few minutes west of town but very close to the zip line parks and Bosque Nuboso Santa Elena). The deck is truly magical with pristine views of the valley and jungle. Views abound in Monteverde but few compare with the one offered from the deck. The host was amazing to work with and attentive to all of our needs. I really can’t say enough good things about our stay other than we will definitely be back.

This peaceful and relaxing place was just what we needed after a busy two weeks of travelling around Costa Rica. The kitchen was excellent, the beds comfortable, and the view amazing. Thanks for a great stay!

Evelyn was a good host but needs to draw a better map as google did not work very good in Monteverde. (Worked great everywhere else). Even if it is working for you, it’s still confusing as the little access road doesn’t register on maps. The place is almost brand new and with higher end finishes. The kitchen is well equipped and beds are comfortable. The view is amazing if it’s not too cloudy.

Beautiful location in the Mountains

The property was in a great location, a short trip into Monteverde and close enough to our chosen outdoor activities Our host was excellent with communication and our kind neighbor gave us fresh arugula for an evening dinner.

Great location!

This is a great place to stay if you want to be close to the action in Monteverde. We booked it in order to be close to Selvatura park for zip lining. It has a great view and Evelyn was very communicative and made sure our stay was as comfortable as possible. The kids loved waking to the howler monkeys in the morning and watching all of the hummingbirds on the property. Highly recommended!

Wonderful home!

My family of 4 loved this home in Monteverde. Beautiful views, nice and peaceful, lovely stay. Beds were comfy, nice hot showers, plenty of room. We especially enjoyed the balcony in the mornings watching all of the birds. Host was super quick and responsive with any questions I had. Would definitely recommend and stay here again if in the area!

Lovely Chalet With Amazing View Down the Hillside to Monteverde and the Gulf of Nicoya

We were a family of four and throughly enjoyed our three days here. Such a lovely place with everything needed for a comfortable stay. The location is close to town and various sites and activities, but also up the hillside enough to be peaceful and restful. Our host, Evelyn, was so great to deal with. Thank you for such a lovely and comfortable base to explore the Monteverde area.

Amazing Stay!

The Sun House was perfect for our family of 4! So close to town, but yet tucked away to where you feel like you’re in your own little paradise. The views were amazing! Evelyn and her husband were wonderful! Would recommend this house in a heartbeat.

This was my family’s favorite stay in Costa Rica. If we were at the house we were on the back deck. (Beautiful views) Evelyn was the best host. She was quick to answer any questions and give recommendations. Highly recommend staying here if you are in the area. We loved it.
