Amazing views surrounded by nature. The private rainforest pool and waterfalls on the property are stunning. Attentive property management with nice accomodations. The property is difficult to find unless you plug in the GPS coordinates into Google Maps (I could not get the coordinates to work with Waze).

Beautiful bird watching

I miss sitting on the porch and watching the toucans fly by. We had a great time and found it to be a peaceful respite with beautiful views. The yard is amazing with beautiful flowers abound. We didn't miss the AC as the cool mountain air with the windows open was sufficient. We did not have any issues with mosquitos. Great place.

Paradise in the Hills

Oh man, this place is amazing! We truly felt like we were staying at a spa or eco retreat. It's a gnarly drive to reach it, but so worth it. OUTSIDE: The property is gorgeous, with a nice balance of flowers, trees, shrubs and lawn. The view is amazing, whether it's of clouds settling into the hills below or the actual ocean in the distance. You're largely above it all. The trail to the waterfalls is a great little nature walk (a family of coati crossed our path) and the falls are beautiful. There's also a nice pool if you don't want to deal with the wild. We loved waking up with the birds and we easily spotted over 20 species during our stay. Toucans were regulars, but we also spied a Laughing Falcon and a Trogon among many others. INSIDE: The home is larger and more spacious than I expected. It's loft-like and a great example of rustic/modern fusion. The kitchen was open and perfect for cooking for the 4 of us. The beds were comfortable and extra secure with high-quality mosquito nets (though we didn't really need them, we see more mosquitos at home in Denver). THE EXTRAS: Maria welcomed us and provided fantastic on-site assistance. She did a small load of laundry for us and also gave us some fresh jackfruit to enjoy. We enjoyed going down to Domenical for breakfast at Cafe Mono Congo and dinner at Phat Noodle, and the beach a little further away at Domenicalito was perfect for the kids to explore and play. We spent 4 weeks in Costa Rica and this was our favorite place. When we come back, this place is first on our list.

Wir hatten eine wunderbare Woche in den Bergen! Leider sehr regnerisch, aber dafür kann ja niemand etwas. Das Haus ist beeindruckend gut ausgestattet und hier wurde wirklich an Details gedacht. Selten hat kochen in einem Ferienhaus so viel Spaß gemacht. Maria als gute Seele des Anwesens und Marysle als Beisitzerin waren durchweg immer zu erreichen und super freundlich. Vielen Dank!

Great stay in the mountains!

This was a great place to be for a few days with my travel partner; we wanted to be out of the populated areas and have some peaceful time listening to the birds and other animals, which is exactly what we got! The host was very helpful and gracious, and the kitchen was well-stocked with cookware, which was super helpful! Overall it was a great stay.

Perfekte Entspannung

Als Erstes: Man braucht auf jeden Fall einen Offroad-Allrad-Pkw, um dieses Objekt zu erreichen. Aber die Lage ist traumhaft, die pure Natur kommt durch die großzügigen Türen bis ins Wohnzimmer. Nichts für Angsthasen und Stadt-Eier ;). Aber für alle, die die Natur Costa Ricas hautnah erleben wollen. Wir hatten alles: Vögel, Gürteltier, Faultier, ein ganz lieber Hund (Luna) und sogar Tarantula hat uns einmal besucht. Und dann noch der Wasserfall auf dem Grundstück...

Beautiful house with stunning views

We really enjoyed our stay at Maryse's place, especially the amazing mountain and sea view. The house was very clean with a well-equipped kitchen. The location was just perfect, close to gorgeous waterfalls (Nauyaca, Eco Chontales) and not too far from Dominical & Uvita beaches. Communication with Maryse went smoothly. Highly recommended!

A Piece of Paradise

We had a great stay. We really enjoyed the view and the temperatures. As well, we were grateful for the very reliable electricity and internet as we were working some of the days during our stay. Communication with the owner and the property manager was easy and they were both very responsive.

Beautiful house

This house is located in an absolutely beautiful setting, surrounded by nature. It is slightly off the beaten path, a bit of a drive to most restaurants, groceries, etc. We really enjoyed the short hike down to the waterfall. Even though it is very open, there were very few bugs.

A piece of Paradise!

If you are looking for an off the beaten path piece of paradise this is the place. This stunning home has been designed and decorated to bring the outside in so that you can take advantage of every view. The kitchen is equipped with everything you need and there are many thoughtful touches through out including binoculars, Spanish dictionaries, flora/fauna books, candles and candle sticks. The herb and vegetable garden is another added bonus. The arugula was the best we've ever eaten. The waterfall is a must do, you could spend all day down there!! On our final morning two toucans were in a nearby a tree eating berries, such a treat for us. Thank you to Maria and Jose so taking care of everything for us while respecting our privacy. We have vowed to come back to this magnetic place.

Amazing

We got to really experience Costa Rica here. It was nice to be surrounded by locals rather than tourist. It wasn’t too long of a drive to get to waterfalls or beaches. The house had everything we needed and the views were amazing. As other comments have said the pictures of the jungle pool do not do it justice. We love this place. Jose and Maria were delightful and so very helpful. We will be back.

Perfect getaway close to Dominical & Manuel Antonio

My fiance and I recently stayed at Maryse's wonderful home located in Perez Zeledon. This was our first stay in Costa Rica so booking a house without being able to visit before was a bit nerve wracking. All in all we are so glad we chose to go with this home. Maria and Jose, the caretakers of the property are so wonderful (as well as their daughters and dogs). We had an incredible time staying in the home, waking up to the rainforest and sunny mornings, being able to open up all of the doors for the fresh air and truly get to experience Costa Rica away from everything else. This house is in a great location, 20-25 mins from the nice beach town of Dominical, 30 mins to Quepos/Manuel Antonio, and close to shopping in San Isidro. The waterfall (jungle pool) on the property was absolutely incredible, one of those things that you cant believe it until you see it. I was able to get a lot of great photos of flowers, toucans and sunsets while at this property. I would recommend staying at this home to anyone who has either visited Costa Rica already or for their first stay.

Great remote location !

My wife and I are travelling around Costa Rica with our small dog. We wanted to try a more remote location to see how we would like it. This house was perfect. While it is "remote" it has amenities fairly close by. The house was comfortable and well supplied for our stay. Maria and Jose are the caretakers and were very accommodating. We visited during the rainy season so it was expected that we encountered a lot of rain during our stay. Despite that the dirt road ( about 2-3 KM long) stayed in good shape. We had a 4 wheel drive and we believe that made it easier but there were plenty of non- 4WD vehicles along the road. Back tot he house: The house opened up just like the pictures show and allowed a nice breeze and controlled the temperature perfectly. We were able to cook our meals or eat at one of the many options within 20 minutes drive. The communication with Maryse, the owner, was responsive and she was able to answer any questions we asked. She also provided us with good directions so we could find the house. For the nature lover I think it would be hard to beat this place!!

Hideaway in tropical jungle with stunning views.

We very much enjoyed our time on this beautiful property. The house is surrounded by gorgeous tropical garden and amazing views. Maryse and her husband did fabulous job designing the cabin and furnishing with everything needed allowing for comfortable stay. Meeting the care takers Maria, Jose and their beautiful girls was a delight, such sweet and kind people. Maria keeps the house in immaculate condition. We loved every minute of our experience interacting with the nature. Waking up to the calling Toucans, breathing the fragrance of the jungle after the rain and birds watching are some of our favorite memories. I am still in awe of our visit. I would definitely recommend this home if you would like a private yet conveniently located hideaway.

Will always keep this place in my heart

We travelled all over Costa Rica and stayed in many places but this is the one place I would like to come back to and that I will think about when I need to think of being peaceful. Website photo don't do justice to the beauty of the house and it's surrounding. You wake up in the morning and open the bedroom door to find yourself waking up to the most beautiful view and feel instantly great. The house itself is very very well appointed, if you like to cook there is everything you need and more. The bed and furniture are very comfortable, the wifi works. Jose, the keeper and his family are very helpful and nice, it's difficult not to fall in love for them. We walk down to the cascade and the natural pool at the bottom of the property , on a hot day the coolness of the water was welcomed and it was of course gorgeous. Up the street, on the main road, there is a small supermarket , a fruit seller and a restaurant with good food with a spectacular view. What more could you want ! I highly recommend the Siete Cascadas. It is one if the most peaceful place I have ever been.

Best kept secret on VRBO

After traveling around the world, I can honestly say this is where I fell in love. In love with wildlife, flora and property. Equipment, furniture, gardens, everything is there to make you feel in paradise. The guardians of the property were also very helpful. Before we arrived, everything was in place for a memorable stay. Much more beautiful than the pictures;) We will definitely return.
