AMAZING!!

We arrived after a red-eye flight and although we only stayed the day and one night it was an amazing place. The home is beautiful, rooms comfortable and kids enjoyed the play area. The pool and waterfall were so relaxing and enjoyable. We wished we could have stayed longer. I would recommend this home to anyone, but for a family it could t have been better! Contacting the Jeff, the host , was easy on WhatsApp. He was receptive and replied quickly. We truly enjoyed our time.

We stayed at this home for two nights to be closer to the airport before flying out of San José, and it was just what we needed. The property manager was fantastic—very responsive and communicative every step of the way. The location was ideal, only about 20–25 minutes from the airport, which made travel day so much easier.We really enjoyed the pool and the lush, tropical grounds—it was a peaceful and relaxing spot to unwind. The house itself worked well for our short stay. If I had to offer any suggestions, it would be to consider a few updates to the home and provide some additional bedding, especially if you plan to use the air conditioning at night.That said, the property served its purpose perfectly, and we would definitely stay again!

Peace & quiet

My family of six stayed in this home for 10 days, and it was a wonderful experience. The house was spacious enough to comfortably accommodate all of us, and the neighborhood was both quiet and safe. The home was well-equipped with everything we needed. Jeff, our host, even left sugar and coffee for us—by the way, the coffee was excellent!Communication with Jeff was smooth and easy. He was warm, welcoming, and readily provided helpful information and recommendations throughout our stay. We truly felt at home and would gladly recommend his property time and time again.One tip for future guests: if you're arriving at night, as we did, consider coordinating with Jeff in advance to see if grocery shopping can be done and delivered prior to your arrival. Many stores in the area close early, and you may want to have some essentials like drinking water on hand when you get in.

Garita nice and easy stay near airport

Lovely private home in gated community so felt very safe. Great communication with owner. There are 3 bedrooms with queen beds, in the description it does show one room with 2 singles, not the case, but we made do! Great restaurant, Casa Mia close by I would recommend for dinner.

Good for Family Stay

Our family stayed here for a week in June, and while we loved the pool and location, we also noticed the home needs some TLC and general repairs throughout (patio doors don't fully shut/lock, toilet seats that don't fit and move when using, cracked window, broken tiles and pans that have teflon peeling off to name a few). Despite needing repairs, we loved swimming each day, close proximity to the wildlife refuge and cute neighboring towns like Sarchi and eating at Casa Mia a few minutes down the road. The owner Jeff was also easy to get in contact with and quick to respond to questions.Also, important to note, the jacuzzi is not a hot one (this is the case with many in Costa Rica, but I didn't know until I arrived) and if you want to use the laundry you will need to pay a fee for the cleaning ladies to do it for you.All in all, it's a cool spot to stay, and with a little maintenance could be an excellent place to stay.

Hiiden peace

Hidden Paradise is a peaceful oasis. A large, roomy residence and safe enough to have all the doors and windows open to benefit from the lvely breeze. No air conditioner needed. The kitchen on the dark side but opening the garage door somewhat brightens the day. Kitchen utensils, glass wear could us a bit of TLC. The garden a true oasis to spend the day in.
