The property was amazing exactly as described. The pictures don't do it justice. Do understand though you are in the middle of the jungle. It's hard/fun to get to, and it's and open air bungalow. But it was worth every penny. The staff was courteous and helpful. Had everything we needed and so much room. The teens and 9 year old loved it! Great wifi but remote enough to disconnect with your family.

We stayed eight nights and had a great time overall. One thing to flag for future guests: the listing describes it as beachfront, but the property actually sits above a rocky shoreline, rocks in the water rather than sand. To reach an actual sandy beach, it's about a 5 minute walk down the road.The road in isn't nearly as bad as some reviews make it sound. The overall layout of the property is really nice, it gives the kids some independence to roam while still being close enough to keep an eye on things.Isaac and Anais, the caretakers, were welcoming but not intrusive. Exactly the kind of presence you want on a property like this.A few things to know going in. The kitchen and common areas get ants really fast, they show up at the first dropped crumb and were honestly a little overwhelming, including all over the outside of the fridge. We also had some cockroaches coming out of the sink spout. Honestly, it felt more like glamping than the luxury beachfront home described in the listing. The casitas are also fully open to the elements, which means bugs and lizards too, so mosquito nets would go a long way here.The wildlife and surrounding area were beautiful and abundant. We also didn't realize until we were there that there are two nearby hotels with great food, you just need to give them a little notice.One more tip: hire Yenier for a private dinner if you can. We had him for three dinners during our stay, and it was absolutely amazing every time. Worth every bit.

This house is spectacular! It's on one of the prettiest beaches in Osa. The groundskeeper, Isaac, was there to greet us when we arrived and took care of any needs we had during our stay. The rooms were clean and very comfortable. Stunning ocean views from every room.

Issac was welcoming but not intrusive. The house is one of a kind and accommodated our large group very well. The pool is lovely and clean. The bathrooms are so unique with ample hot water. My only 2 complaints are:1) the kitchen lighting is very poor and 2) there is not hot water in the kitchen.

The house was even prettier than the photos and very spacious and comfortable for our extended family. We loved every minute of our stay! Gorgeous setting, tons of wildlife, swimming and surfing, starry skies, sun and just enough rain. The caretaker Issac was very helpful and chef Rafa prepared two delicious dinners for us. Hope to be back sometime.

A wonderful stay

An outstanding location ... peaceful and serene. The house was extremely easy to slip into the flow, with the main area to commune and separate living space all with amazing views where one could have alone time. The staff were very friendly and available if needed but left us to ourselves which was wonderful.

Great trip, lovely spacious property. Interesting roads, you want a proper 4x4. Good access to beaches. Our trip was over the holidays and it was wonderful to have Chef Jafa available to make delicious meals. Power was a little sketchy but was fine with some feedback. Strong recommendation!

Wonderful Property

We (2 couples) spent 5 nights at this wonderful home and enjoyed every minute. The home provided a perfect combination of togetherness and privacy. We have stayed at other homes in the area and Ximena's property offers a few things that others don't - a high end refrigerator with ice maker, a freezer, ample kitchen supplies, and great Wi-Fi. We will definitely return.

Best Vacation of my life

If you are looking to see wildlife, this is your place! The layout of the property is wonderful. We explored the rocks just off the beach and found a tidal pool. Love that they compost and only replace towels every other day. Every person we encountered was friendly and helpful. Would go back in a heartbeat. Thank you so much!

Incredible Experience

My wife and I had an incredible stay here. The place was spacious and well appointed. We made all our meals and enjoyed while watching the moneys play in the trees above. As many others have mentioned the drive in is part of the adventure and you'll want a high clearance 4x4. The beach is a short walk away and also full of wildlife. The Kig Luis waterfall is well worth the hike. Isaac and his wife were awesome and very responsive. Love this place and Costa Rica!

Love Matapalo!

We had a wonderful stay. Our host and his wife were so helpful from greeting us on our late arrival to giving us a ride to town the following day so we could get our rental car. The property was beautiful and loved waking up to tropical birds and monkeys every morning. The home was amazing. I would come back again and recommend this listing to others. :)

Cabo Matapalo family vacation

Beautiful house, beauty location and great service on all levels. Rooms were cleaned each day which was a pleasant surprise. Isaac and family took great care of us. We traveled early May and it was very, very hot and surprisingly lots of mosquitos. Cannot close off rooms so bug nets over beds are essential and house would benefit from an upgrade to more powerful fans especially in rooms to help when it is so hot.

Absolutely Beautiful!

It is a beautiful home right on the coast. We woke up to the sounds of birds and the waves crashing on the rocks. During the day we saw macaws and spider monkeys in the trees in front of the house. We had Rafa cook for us and his meals were a highlight of our vacation, however the kitchen has a modern stove and refrigerator so you could easily buy groceries in puerta jiminez and cook for yourself. There are also fans over the bed and solar powered electicity so we didn't get too hot at night. We are so thankful that we were able to experience the oso peninsula from this beautiful retreat. We loved fishing and surfing and hiking waterfalls, but coming back to this amazingly peaceful home at the end of the day to another creative, healthy meal cooked by Rafa was perfect.

Osa Paradise

Casa Maramis is a lovely beachfront property not far from the small town of Puerto Jimenez. The owner was quick to respond to my inquiry and questions. The home is spacious and comfortable. Issac and Desiree are a delight to work with and can answer any questions you have about activities. Desiree was happy to cook 3 meals for us...we just provided the groceries. We surfed with Pollo. We fished with Javier. We went to Corcavado with Eduardo. Just realize the location is remote but the Wifi is excellent. The shower is cool but felt amazing after a hot day. A fabulous vacation!

Incredible Adventure

This property is AMAZING, the views, birds, monkeys, home...everything was wonderful. We plan to come back and can easily recommend it to anyone. We were greeted by the Caretaker Isaac, he and his wife Anaise were amazing during our stay. Super helpful, available to assist or answer questions as needed. Isaac speaks fluent English and is a great asset. We also had the chef Rafa come in for several meals, he was amazing, made incredible home cooked Costa Rican meal and we can also highly recommend him. Be sure to rent not only a 4x4 vehicle, but something high profile. The road from Puerto Jimenez is bad, however the road that you turn onto to get to the property, well that is horrible. We rented a 4 x 4 vehicle, however it was not a high profile one and we bottomed out several times on the "road". It takes an hour to go 11 miles, be sure to get something high profile! We also wanted to point out a few things that are listed as amenities that the home does not have - there is no toaster and no washer and dryer. You can have the care takers do your laundry for you if needed. We didn't pack enough clothes for our entire stay as we had planned to wash our clothes while there. This was one of the best properties I have ever stayed at, if you are up for adventure, watching monkeys, birds, swimming, surfing, hiking etc, this is the place for you.

Thank you Sheryl for your comments. Sorry for the toaster we are replacing it. The laundry can be provided by our caretaker as if washer or dryer brakes it is very difficult to repair it in Matapslo so we prefer to have the caretakers help our guests with that. And yes the road is in very bad shape , the positve part of that is that it keeps the area free from intense tourism. Really hope to have you back!!!!

Amazing Stay

This was one of the most amazing places I have ever visited. The pictures can’t do it justice. Once you venture down the road to the house - the adventure starts! You definitely need a 4x4! The house blends in with the natural environment and you see that with every detail. We were only a family of four but 2 families could have stayed here with room to spare. The main living area is open air and we enjoyed cooking all of our meals in the well appointed kitchen . The pool area was perfect for relaxing and cooling off at the end of a busy day exploring. The seating area by the ocean was breathtaking and my favorite place to enjoy coffee in the morning. My favorite was the bedrooms. Imagine laying in bed in a tastefully decorated room and listening to the ocean waves only a few away. The mystifying sounds of the howler monkeys will wake you up in the morning and you will be delighted by the screeching of the Scarlett macaws in the background. It was the soundtrack of our visit I was worried about the bugs as my son attracts bugs everywhere. I don’t think we saw more than a few and nothing that bit. There was no issues at all with bugs. The caretaker was kind and helpful and we were able to get our laundry done while there. We came to the area to appreciate wildlife and staying at this property was more than we could imagined Don’t hesitate- it was the highest of our trip to Costa Rica . By

Thanks Holly. I really appreciate your comments since maintaining a house located between the jungle and the sea is a task that requires many hours of dedication. It is important to us that guests can enjoy the house in perfect condition. The location of the house is privileged and unique and I am glad you enjoyed it.

Fantastic!

We had a group of 5 people that spent 10 days at Casa Marmaris--most went for the surfing. The house is located at Backwash Bay -- which at the time we went was the best break! Tides are extreme--and Backwash breaks at mid to low tide (although we weren't there when it was big)! The house and grounds are fantastic--the views incredible! And the sound of the jungle make things interesting! Ximena was great to deal with for booking her house! Desiree and her husband Isaac were the caretakers of the house and were extremely helpful! We had Desiree cook for us every night---her choice of typical Costa Rican cuisine--and it was great every night! When others have said you should buy what you want to eat in Puerto Jiminez--they were right--it's a 20-30 minute drive back to Puerto Jiminez on some rocky roads! We paid Desirre to go to Puerto Jiminez and buy food and beer and wine for the 10 days we were there!! Best move we made!! Also would have to say a trip to the Lookout Inn towards Carate--is a worthwhile trip!! Plan on eating lunch there if you go--outstanding and reasonably priced--about a 45 minute drive! Keep in mind this is a remote location--no electricity--the main house is open--although all rooms have screens! I took plenty of bug spray and never used it and never was bit--I'm sure it has to do with the time of year. Internet works well! Also the howlers, geckos , raccoons and the macaws are ever entertaining! Want a tropical jungle experience whether you surf or not--great place!
