Yves homes is an Airbnb dream. Something that should be featured in advertisements for Central America. The views are amazing, the pool spectacular, room is clean and comfortable, and Yves is so kind and helpful. Would recommend his home 100 times over. Loved it!Blake2016-08-10T00:00:00Z
This was a great place to stay! Yves was very quick and friendly in responding to our booking and the room is as described- even better! The room is very nice- large and clean with a great view. The pool is lovely and Yves was really friendly and welcoming but not intrusive in any way.Lisa2016-05-25T00:00:00Z
Amazing stay, the view is even better than depicted in the photos. Yves is a sweetheart, he even put flowers in the room when he heard we would be there on my birthday! But at the same time, he gives guests plenty of space. Loved hanging out by the amazing pool and watching toucans fly over - would recommend Yves and this gorgeous place to all!shannon2016-08-28T00:00:00Z
The Yves place was my best experience in Costa Rica. His place is just a dream. I reserved at last minute and Yves aswered very fast, it was at night and he was all the time online to guide me how to get at his place. Yves is more than great host and his house is much that you see at the photos. Is amazing view in the mountain. ... The breakfast was delicious and his dogs are so cute. I recommend this place for a very rest holidays. Thanks Yves for everything.Nancy2016-05-03T00:00:00Z
Awesome place to stay. The room was super clean and the view is just incredible. The breakfast was great. Highly recommended place.Esteban2017-01-12T00:00:00Z
Yves was such a kind & thoughtful host. The space was GORGEOUS & Yves respects your privacy and gives guests main use of the pool. Would definitely stay again.Alexia2017-02-26T00:00:00Z
My favourite stay of this trip! The view and the infinity pool made the stay 110% worth it! Yves is a very personable guy and easy to talk with and get along with! Highly recommend it!Benjamin2016-12-20T00:00:00Z
Yves' place is nothing short of fantastic! The view absolutely knocked our breath out. Yves was so attentive and nice, it was a pleasure getting to know him. The place was spotlessly clean - a superb Airbnb experience!Jennifer2016-12-19T00:00:00Z

The grounds at Villas Gaia were beautiful and this is the perfect location for exploring Ojochal, Uvita, Ballena, etc. A few bugs as expected since this is Costa Rica and the property is nestled between the jungle and the ocean, but a great place to stay for those looking for a comfortable place to sleep after a long day of exploring. Thanks Luuc!Emily2016-12-11T00:00:00Z
This is a collection of free standing cabins in the forest, leading up to pool area with distant ocean view. Restaurant and bar area on site. Overall pleasant experience. Great staff. Car needed due to somewhat remote location, but on main road. Terrific dinner at Exotica, a few miles away, and spectacular sunsets at Bamboo bar, also a few miles up the mountain, but worth the trip.Craig2017-03-22T00:00:00Z
Nice bungalow hotel with gorgeous pool and breakfast buffet (egg, rice, coffee, tea, arroz pinto, cereals). U have to get here by car as the beaches are a bit off. Uvita is pretty cool.Matthias 2016-10-01T00:00:00Z
We enjoyed our stay at Villas Gaia Hotel! The pool with the ocean view was e(EMAIL HIDDEN)plimentary breakfast was simple but delicious. We also spent many of our meals at the on site restaurant - Great Cocktails and the Pineapple Chicken was my favorite! Wish our room had a small refrigerator to store our left overs and snacks. Lastly, we would recommend bug spray, as the room's windows and doors had some gapping. Alexander and Edgar were very helpful hosts and made us want to stay longer! Thank you Villas Gaia team!Lidia2017-03-08T00:00:00Z
Super easy going place. The cabin are really charming and what to say about the food. Breakfast was included and excellent and the dinner we ordered to our room was just magical. Thank you for our stay.Maude2016-09-05T00:00:00Z
A beautiful place - good food - nice people - clean - perfect view ! We had two beautiful days here ! A little bit noisy but I honk it depend of the room you stay in . Thank you Luc - it was perfect !Alize2017-03-26T00:00:00Z
Villas Gaia was a sanctuary and a tropical haven. The kind-hearted staff works together to create the serene, clean, and luxurious setting while cultivating a rustic and cozy atmosphere. Our private villa was an oasis—very comfortable, spacious, and complete with AC and private patio. We had front row seats to the tropical world, waking up to howler monkeys and toucans outside our door! The pool over-looks the ocean, and the cooking is top-class and yet affordable. The pina coladas are second to none! We didn't feel a need to go anywhere else! A special thanks to Alex for his professional yet relaxed service, and setting up our tour to Corcovado National Park (Gaia is only a 40min drive from the boating dock....a must-do day-trip!!)Jordan2017-02-19T00:00:00Z
- Great pool. - delicious restaurant (although you have to order by 8pm at the latest) - delicious home-made bread, gallo pinto & coffee for breakfast, the jalapeno in vinegar and the marmelades (not so much for the juice which was totally artificial flavor) - Wi-Fi connection in the room number 9 was very poor. - There is no mini fridge in the room we stayed but there is one free for use by the pool. - beautiful nature all around the property. - best beach: ballena & exploring the waterfalls around UvitaAndres2017-01-27T00:00:00Z

This is the best part of the beach near pavones, and meadow's compound is private and lovely. The 20 minute bike ride into the tiny town was one of our favorite things. The sunsets were unlike anything we've ever experienced.Rachel2017-01-02T00:00:00Z
We had a wonderful time at Meadow's place. Everything was just really perfect. The place was extremely clean. Meadow's worker is a really nice and helpful guy. Always ready for everything. The house is perfect for a couple. Aras, Toucans, monkeys and much more can be seen from the gallery. Pavones is a nice little place. Restaurants, groceries, buses are at bicycle distance. Beaches, rocks, wave, jungle, sunsets are just in front of the house. The drive to Paso Canoas is worth it if you plan a long stay. Everything is much more affordable.Olivier2017-03-03T00:00:00Z
Pavones is a wonderfully secluded place, and this apartment goes well with that vibe. A surfers paradise just minutes away from Punta Banco, Pavones and some other local hidden spots. The property looks exactly as in the pictures. Located on a second floor with a nice balcony overlooking forest and ocean. We were provided with clean linen, a small but practical kitchen space, clean bathroom with towels and nice toiletries. The bathroom space is outside the bedroom and living space, which I find convenient for many reasons. There are some other houses and nice neighbours almost next door, and Meadow home is some steps away but enjoyed perfect privacy all the time. For now there is no wifi and there is little phone coverage but for some this will only add to the charm. They have dogs at the property but they are quiet and smart, perfect furry guardians. Meadow and her two kids are wonderful hosts, ready to help or answer any questions and made us feel very welcomed. We loved being their first guest and I highly recommend her place for anyone looking to surf or visit this nice part of Costa Rica.Irene2016-04-14T00:00:00Z
The host canceled this reservation the day before arrival. This is an automated posting.Danielle2017-02-15T00:00:00Z
Meadows place was exactly what we were searching for during our stay in Pavones. We had a house in her big garden all to ourselves with a beautiful terrasse, separate bathroom and kitchen. The place is nicely decorated and you can hear the waves of the ocean from the terrasse. Meadow was always there if we had any questions and she let us pick fresh mangos from her trees. You just have to cross the street and you are already at a nice beach. All the best surfspots are close. And don't forget to have lunch or dinner at the Soda right next to her place 'Brisas del Mar'. We highly recommend Meadows place!!Silvia & Victor 2016-07-10T00:00:00Z
One of the best things about Meadow's place is that not one of her descriptions of the place omitted the truth and all the pics on the profile show exactly how it is. The other best thing is the location. From the word go, my mind was blown. From my balcony I could literally touch the banana tree leaf where shortly after check in, a humming bird the size of my thumb came to hover for a long moment;beyond that stretched the tall trees and lush undergrowth of the forest. The constant sound of bird song made iTunes and Soundcloud a distant memory and the absence of WiFi was a welcome addition to what Meadow has to offer. From the huge garden there is literally only the gravel road to cross to come to the breathtakingly beautiful beach as seen on Meadow's profile. I had not expected this and must've stood there staring in wonder for minutes, before setting foot on the black sand. Remember that black gets pretty hot - I dashed to the water and went to buy myself a pair of flip-flops the very next day. I was there for 5 days and on only one day, did I have to share 'my' beach for a family of 500km, but decided not to complain as they were well behaved ; ) KEEP IN MIND THAT I VISITED OUT OF SEASON. I don't know how populated the beaches are in season. I mostly ate at Soda Brisas del Mare. Out the gate, left about 150m down the road. They have WiFi there but you have to spend in 'consume at least CRC4500 before being allowed to use it. Approx $8. At its best it's not fast it you can share pics with friends once you get back to the real world. The nights were cool but never cold and I spent a few of them reading on my veranda. I read someone mentioning bats? Sure there are (URL HIDDEN) most places on earth I'm pretty sure. They don't however come for you. Too busy catching the fireflies that played Christmas tree on the lawn each night, I'm sure. I fell asleep to the sound of the waves and it was soothing to occasionally wake up to the sound of it at night. Then falling asleep to it again. Meadow was not there during the period of my stay but Abner, her employee was very, very helpful and even offered to drive me to Pavones itself - about 3+km from Meadow's place - to do necessary food shopping and to familiarize me with the place. The little supermarkets are very well stocked and all i needed was available. Abner was always available even to come wake me up early so I would miss the 5:30 am bus that takes one back to the Panama - Costa Rica border crossing. My Spanish is non-existent but Abner is a great communicator and always persevered to get the message across. There is much...Cronje2016-12-22T00:00:00Z
Meadow´s place was perfect for us. Beautiful clean and spacious house, close to a lovely secluded beach. The property caretaker was very kind and helpful. Could not recommend this more highly!Maarten2016-12-29T00:00:00Z

We had an incredible stay at the Bali House. It met every idea we had when we booked it. There are no words to describe the view and the beauty of the property. We got to see toucans, butterfly's, frogs, insects and many other cool wildlife while staying at the Bali house. You will need a 4x4 to get up the mountain but it's totally worth it because you will use it the rest of your trip getting to the beaches and other destinations. Let me end by saying Rodney is the best asset To you when you stay. He's a truly awesome guy who will do anything to make your stay the best. We will be back!!!Davis2016-07-27T00:00:00Z
The Place is really amazing with beautiful surrounding and nature. Rodney was very helpful and attentive. He helped us a lot during small car accident. Thanks Rodney again so very much.Simon2016-11-27T00:00:00Z
We cannot express our gratitude enough for our experience at this beautiful space. The attention to detail was beyond excellent. A special thank you to Rodney and his lovely wife who helped me to celebrate my birthday with a delicious home cooked dinner. Basically, we wanted for nothing here and plan to return time and time again. Bali Pavillion felt like home.Gabby2016-11-12T00:00:00Z
Absolutely loved it. Rodney was great, kind, helpful, accommodating! Very prompt in meeting us to show us the home! Beautiful sunsets, great infinity pool, spacious. Being among the rainforest: toucans, green parrots, monkeys, hummingbirds, and monkeys was an out of this world experience! We stayed here with our young family and it was absolutely perfect!Rainbow Ranch2016-05-10T00:00:00Z
You will not be disappointed visiting the Ballena Coast first of all, least of all the Hatillo-Dominical area. Secluded gorgeous beaches, secondary and primary rainforest, lots of cafes, restaurants and local sodas to choose from for dining or treat yourself to Rodney's cooking at home if you're not in the mood to cook for yourself. If you want to learn to surf, or exercise your existing passion, the surfing conditions, scene and schools of learning for adults AND kids abound in Dominical. Beds are very comfortable as well air-conditioning in the bedrooms not that you need it for the natural breeze. Well outfitted kitchen including fantastic blender for all important morning tropical smoothies. Alex the owner was very responsive with communications including quick responses when needed - and Rodney the caretaker of the Villas was beyond helpful with all things Villa and things to do and see and eat in the area. Overall a very high quality holiday rental listing that goes well beyond expectations.Leeanne2017-04-05T00:00:00Z
We absolutely loved the house, infinity pool and location!! Unbelievably breathtaking views of Pacific and sunset every evening. The house is amazing. There were 5 of us and we unanimously agreed this the the nicest place we've EVER stayed. Rodney was wonderful in arranging our excursions and very helpful about the area. We never expected to be taken care of so wonderfully. We are telling everyone about Alexander's beautiful property. Pura Vida!!Patti2017-01-21T00:00:00Z
The Bali house is truly a unique and beautiful home - the pictures don't depict the true beauty of it. My husband and I spent 10 days on our honeymoon here and it made our experience incredible. The drive up to the Bali house is a little rigorous but nothing a 4x4 can't handle, and it's definitely worth it once you reach the house and see the picturesque views and "incredible sunsets" that you'll get to witness. The house is very private and feels very secluded even though there are other houses in the area. If you're looking to get away from the more "touristy" areas and want a more authentic Costa Rican experience, I would definitely recommend staying here. There are plenty of activities to do in Dominical and Quepos/Manuel Antonio which are both short drives away. The caretaker Rodney hooked us up with a wonderful horseback riding tour to Naucaya Waterfalls - the guides were great, we were served both breakfast and lunch (delicious) and we got to swim and cliff jump at the falls! We would also recommend doing the ATV tour with Diamanté Verde and the jetski tour with Manuel Antonio Expeditions. The food in Costa Rica is absolutely delicious! If you're coming from the States you will definitely appreciate the fresh and real tasting foods - fruits and vegetables especially. Some nearby spots you should definitely visit : Breakfast - PorQueNo? and Cafe Mono Congo Lunch/Dinner - Langosta Feliz and Ranchos Remo (spectacular views at sunset) The caretaker Rodney is amazing. He was quick to help us with anything we needed and gave us tons of tips/activities to do in the area. Although there are no locks on the house, we felt very safe and there is an alarm system and a safe to keep any of your belongings. We saw no one on the property except Rodney and the cleaning ladies. Everyone in Costa Rica is very friendly and during our 16 day stay in the country we felt very safe. There is a lot of wildlife/insects that you will come across so just be prepared. Overall, if you're looking for a truly special experience I highly recommend staying at the Bali House! Pura Vida!Nora2016-12-26T00:00:00Z
Do yourself a favor: Stay. In. This. House. For as long as you possibly can. Words cannot describe the view. Or the crazy 4x4-drive that takes you there. It is as close to perfection as a holiday home could ever be. We will never forget our 6 nights in the Bali Pavillion.Marte2017-02-02T00:00:00Z

Katie's appertment is cosy, clean and we a nice view over the bay. She was very helpful and fast answering to our questions. Since she wasn't present during our stay, she arranged that her friends will take care about us ... they have been very friendly and helpful too and they offered us 2 kayak for free to explore the bay, which was a welcome possibilty since we missed the ferry. Onky remark, we had to use our earplugs to sleep, since we're not used to noise at home and the traffic from street in front of the appartment can be heard quite well.New2014-08-10T00:00:00Z

Katie was an excellent host, exceedingly friendly and helpful. The space was also a great surprise in Golfito, very clean and a great vibe. Thank you Katie!Scott2016-04-07T00:00:00Z
Katie was very flexible and easy to work with. I stayed in the studio apt. for 2 nights and the 1 bedroom condo for 3 nights. Her condos are the nicest property in that part of town.. They were actually the most well equipped AirBnB places I've stayed in for a while.. By that I mean the kitchen mostly; coffee, coffee filter, sugar, and a roll of paper towels are missing from most places. The beds, sheets, pillows where new, and everything was extremely clean.. The road below is pretty noisy as other reviewers have said.. But having the activities of the marina to watch, and a good place to eat right across the street make up for it.. Try the French Toast at Banana Bay Marina..Heath2015-03-20T00:00:00Z

Wonderful place. Stayed for 3 days but wish it had been longer. Beautiful house and a real credit to Allison and Jim. So tranquil and off the beaten track, making it very relaxing surrounded by nature in action. A perfect rest stop for us on a busy 3 week schedule. Also convenient for anything you ant to do in the Osa. Would definitely return.Jonathan 2016-07-17T00:00:00Z
My boyfriend and I spent only 3 days at the Pelican house, but enough to say that the house is beautiful and with exceptional view on the sunrise-side of the ocean! Being immersed and sorrounded by nature is peaceful, but it also means you will be isolated from the city and you may hear and have little animals around. Nonetheless, Rafa (the housekeeper living in a separate place but within the property) will be ready to help with any potential inconvenience and beside watching over the place, he will also keep you entertained with his stories about the territory! Very funny and helpful man. Least but not last, Allison is very kind and she will promptly answer to all the questions you may have. Thank-you again! G&OGiulia2015-03-18T00:00:00Z
A nice and spacious house that is completely secluded near a lovely beach. In the garden grows among other things, pineapple, mango and lime. Abundant wildlife right outside the house. The housekeeper Raffa and his family were very helpful and considerate. Our daughters played a lot with their daughter, and they had a lovely time together. We highly recomend this place.Anna2015-03-30T00:00:00Z
We spent 4days on Allison's house to end our 2weeks trip in Costa Rica. This was the perfect place for so many things. The house itself, the surrounding nature, the wildlife, the beach. As we had been trekking in the forest and driving around before we were exhausted so really enjoyed the quiet and spent these days contemplating the nature from the best spot : the pelican house. I hope we will comeback one day and really recommend it ! PierrePierre2015-01-08T00:00:00Z
As we assimilated into the pace of Costa Rica, we realized what a treasure Rafa is and how beautiful and modern this home is. The experience was perfect for my two sisters and me. We were taken care of as if we had a guardian angel following us on the beach, in the forest, even into town as we sat outside at the bakery. He pointed out macaws and monkeys in the treetops. Jim and Allyson have such a gorgeous house and the grounds are magnificent. The plantings afford such welcome privacy and it's as if someone sprinkled hundreds of zinnia seeds over the acre field between the veranda and the sea. Rafa picked a pineapple from the few rows of them and we at it immediately. He showed us how to harvest the fruit from a coconut and made pancakes for us on two mornings. He is a treasure. Wanted to bring him and his family home with us. From our home base we found a place recommended by Jim and Allyson to reserve a boat for an afternoon of snorkeling and spotted dolphins surrounding us as we floated along. Also we booked a zip-line canopy tour which we enjoyed on my birthday. What a gas, on the seventh line, cruising 55 mph on a 1/3 mile line from 250 up in the canopy to the restaurant on the top of the hill. OMG This is the place to stay while in Costa Rica. My favorite place to read was in the hammock on the veranda. Go ahead and rent a four-wheel drive. You'll be so glad you did and it is necessary! There is a small river to cross on the road to the house. On our last night, there was a thunderous rain all night and the next morning we couldn't cross. Rafa took his machete and cut away brush through an acre or more so we could drive another way to the main road. He's amazing. We so loved the macaws and parrots that flew over the house and the sounds of the howler monkeys that woke us each morning. It is true that this is the last true frontier on earth. I hope it never succumbs to development. Loved it! Barbara Schlott, Council Bluffs, IABarbara2013-11-10T00:00:00Z
We had a lovely time at Pelican house and it was clear from the guest book that many other people have too. The caretaker Raffa was awesome and we couldn't have asked for a better guide to the locality and wildlife. The location isn't represented for some reason on the airbnb (SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN) map, but if you find Iguana Lodge on the map it's just a mile or so south of that down the coast. The house itself was lovely and being off-grid was a real treat. It definitely feels wild and it took us a couple of days to acclimatize, one night it rained so much we couldn't escape! The (dirt) road to Matapalo was in good condition when we were there so we could get down the coast in half an hour or so for surfing excursions. Thanks very much to Allison, Jim and Raffa!chris2013-05-23T00:00:00Z

That was the great place to celebrate a new year - silent and magnificent. The whole experience, including horse riding and talking with Chema was great and valuable. Also, he arranged a tour in uvita for as and recommended a place to stay in other places, which saved us a lot Of money and time. Ps and food was the best in the whole Costa Rica. Thank you, Chema and MargaPhilipp2015-01-03T00:00:00Z
This place is great. It's very minimalist, rustic, and has down right gorgeous views. This is not a place meant for luxury living, but it's certainly never uncomfortable. Rooms are lot by candle light only, but each room has a private bathroom with hot water. The beds are okay, but not great. I don't fit on them at all either because I'm 6'4". The hosts were great. I got along with Chema very well, he's sort of this very philosophical and well educated ex hippie, with tons of stories and great conversation. Marga is an expert cook, and cooked us (by request) a bunch of fantastic vegetarian meals. If there aren't too many other guests, they will accompany you for dinner and hang out for a bit after, a cool experience. One note: be prepared to pay for your meals. It is stated somewhere in the listing I think, but don't overlook it. It will cost you about $10 American per person for meals, and they only remind you right before you leave so make sure you get appropriate funds before hand. Also, Chema is very proud of his horses, (but not unjustly so) which he trained by hand, and cares for daily. If you want to ride them, be prepared to pay as much as you would in the states, $60 per person. Overall this experience was great, and very inspiring for me. I felt a spiritual connection to Chema and Marga, and I appreciated what they were about and what they have achieved. I would live to come back and stay with them, maybe help out with their sustainability school.Blake2015-07-11T00:00:00Z
I loved my stay at Chema y Marga! They are both very kind. Marga cooks so good…that is incredible! Chema knows a lot about the forest and renewable energy! The house is wonderful…If you have a chance to go there take it!Delphine2014-03-21T00:00:00Z
This place is just unbelievable! If you're looking for a place where you can escape your day to day life this is it! The house is unique and beautiful and the location is just breathtaking. Chema and Marga are great hosts: they are really caring but give you your space as well! They help you with anything, there energy is amazing and there wisdom is just inspiring! Marga's cooking is amazing: her breakfast, lunch, dinners are just delicious. everything she uses comes from her own garden or from local farmers. The variety is great, very healthy and very tasty! Exceptional for Costa Rica.. every meal was amazing.. also because of the amazing view while eating! Chema and Margo are just great company.. friends! We can only say good things about them, it war just a great experience! We did the horseback riding with Chema and it was perfect.. the whole setting was just breathtaking and authentic. Very private and again the energy was great.. we could even gallop sometimes. The best experience we had in Costa Rica! Also great hikes, beautiful waterfalls where you can swim and an amazing sunrise and sunset! Chema and Marga, thank u for having us and sharing a piece of your world and your wisdom with us.. we had an amazing time!B & K2015-12-30T00:00:00Z
It was just wonderfull up in the mountain with Marga & Chema: super Food, brillant discussions, amazing horses, views and swimming in the waterfall!Mark 2016-02-02T00:00:00Z
I would go as far as to say no trip to Costa Rica should miss Chema and Margas amazing piece of paradise! Not sure where to start. The views are breathtaking, it's almost hard to take it all in! The views of the valley, the horses, the pastures, the dogs, the plants and the amazing lookout on Uvita's 'Whale Tail', I could go on. Fireflies! We saw fireflies for the first time ever! The house (earth-ship) fits in perfectly with the surroundings and makes you feel like it (and you) truly belong in this unique setting. Chema and Marga are the perfect hosts combining lively and extremely interesting conversation with amazing food (the comments are true, Marga's food does not disappoint). This is a great place to relax and be at one with nature but make sure to take Chema up on a tour! There are so many interesting concepts at work on this sustainable farm and so much to learn from! It really is worth all the exclamation points I'm using!!! Also make sure to visit the waterfall, a great cool place to swim after a fun hike up the river. We will be back and next time will stay longer than 2 nights!Lawrence2016-02-25T00:00:00Z
Chema and Marga's house is definitely a utopia! From the vision and mission of its owners, the area, the house's architecture, pure water, delicious food , amazing views, and surrounding nature this place is a hidden paradise. Moreover, Chema and Marga were great hosts, they are sincerely committed to giving their guests the greatest experience. Overall, they were very helpful from the beginning to the end of our stay. The place is so peaceful and has such a high energy that we already miss it! If you are looking for a back to nature and a true sustainable living experience, definitely go to Casa Tordesillas.Santiago2017-01-01T00:00:00Z

It was wonderful and so beautiful. James was extremely nice and was a great host, he will tell you about the place and show you around. The hippie house name might throw you off a little, but it is totally worth staying here. The pictures and description of this listing does it no justice it was amazing. Its also in a gated community makes you feel very safe if your worried about that.Kris2015-11-15T00:00:00Z
This is a clean, spacious place located in a private part of town. It was a bit tricky communicating with the hosts at first but once we got in touch it was all good. Guests have access to a pool and kitchen which is nice as well.Olivia2016-08-02T00:00:00Z
Viewers of this listing may be forgiven for asking "what's the catch?", but trust me there isn't one. This is just what it says on the tin; a unique opportunity to stay in five star comfort at backpackers prices. The photos barely do the place justice; it really is stunning. There are great restaurants nearby, an absolutely fabulous beach and ample opportunity to get up close and personal with the local wildlife. A car would be helpful although certainly not essential as the local taxis are very reasonably priced. James is a charming host and welcomed me into his circle of friends in the most open-hearted fashion (a significant choice of words as you may discover). Grab it while you can folks because it's a short term offer.rod2015-11-07T00:00:00Z
Great place to stay! Great location and view of nature and Quepos. Saw tons of monkeys and other wildlife. Great hosts, highly recommend!Dan2015-12-21T00:00:00Z
This villa is part of another larger complex called Happy Jacana Village. It is located in the jungle which is very cool. Our first day we had capuchin monkeys on our balcony looking for someway to break in which was a neat experience. The room is very nice and clean and so was the bathroom. The villa is located up a very steep Hill so if you plan and walking it be prepared for a nice sweat. No one was around when we arrived so we were unsure what to do but eventually just opened the door to our room and found our key in the room. There was some confusion regarding the kitchen, from the description it sounded like we would be able to use the fully stocked kitchen in the main house to prepare meals. The kitchen was very nice but we were eventually told that we are not allowed to use that one and must use the kitchen in the basement. This was hardly a kitchen as all it had was a hotplate and a blender and the room smelled rather funky. Other than the kitchen scenario we enjoyed our stay here and would recommend it to others.Dan2016-09-04T00:00:00Z
My time at Happy Jacana was nothing but amazing. Our room was perfect with an amazing view of the jungle. Wonderful hospitality and extremely quick to answer any of my questions. Nothing but raving reviews from my boyfriend and I.Chante2016-02-03T00:00:00Z
we had a great (EMAIL HIDDEN) of his friends was kind enough to even help us book a tour and take us to the beach. the place is a piece of heaven, very calmed and beautifulHeidy2015-12-23T00:00:00Z
Nice quiet room, the assistant Elias, was very friendly and helpfull. If nobody rents the house next to the room, you have access to a big kitchen and a fresh pool with a huge terrace.Irene2017-01-30T00:00:00Z

The place is amazing, it is surrounded by nature everywhere, the ideal place to relax and have a wonderful vacation. The house is beautiful and clean, very comfortable for my family of 5 members including 3 kids of 14, 9 and 3 years old. I was very surprised that despite it is in the middle of the mountain I never found bugs inside it. We loved eating our breakfast outside, in the balcony while enjoying hearing and watching lots of different birds. Neighbors are really nice and willing to help. You need a 4WD vehicle to get there, it is about 20 minutes (7 kms) from the main road. The restaurant in the place was closed, so I would recommend you to get everything you need before going up. There are a lot of things to do near the place, spectacular views, beautiful beaches (40 minutes - 1 hour), waterfalls, Osa Canopy just at the entrance of the property, Panama Border (2 hours) and we also went to Boruca ( 1 hour and a half) to see a very traditional dancing "baile de los diablitos", and tasted typical food there, including a beverage named chicha. You can also go to Sierpe where they offer different tours, including a whole day in a small island, mangrove tour, fishing, among others), and on the way to it, you can go to "Parque de las esferas de piedra" and to the "Museo de las esferas". My kids liked the pool, usually there was no one in there, there is also a pool table and ping pong table available for people to use. The highlight for me, I was able to see more than 20 macaws, 3 toucans and lots of different birds and other animals including a lizard running on top of the water of a pool near Ballena beach. We enjoyed a lot, thanks Glenn & Lori :)Ummara2017-01-02T00:00:00Z
We enjoyed our time here very much! It was beautiful landscape as well as a beautiful villa! There was fresh fruit we were able to take. The people around were very nice and welcoming. The only thing was the pool, bar and restaurant were closed while we were there! The pool opened the last day which was nice but I had been told by a local that the bar and restaurant had not been open for some time! It turned out to be ok because the kitchen in the villas was very nice, it's just a little bit of a trek to get groceries! Overall though the place was pretty amazing!Emily2017-01-15T00:00:00Z

Our stay at Om Suite Om was great! Location is great. Just a 5 minute walk to the beach and within 1 minute walking to great restaurants. Lira was an amazing host and provided us with many recommendations. Go to dinner at Porque No? They have the best viewing spot for sunsets. We strongly recommend staying at Om Suite Om.Marissa2017-03-24T00:00:00Z
We had a great stay at Om Suite Om. The area was lovely, with great cafes, shops and restaurants. Nicole was very helpful and gave us lots of tips :)Kristoffer2016-11-18T00:00:00Z
We stayed at Om Suite Om for 3 nights. We live in the area, but rented this place for the weekend as a "staycation." It did not disappoint! The room was exactly as the photos reflected, the accommodations were welcoming, and Nicole was an above-and-beyond excellent host. Our bed and linens were very comfortable, the shower was great, and having AC was such a treat. We'll definitely be back for our next "staycation" in Dominical, and will happily recommend Om Suite Om to friends visiting the area!Lauren2016-03-07T00:00:00Z
Om Suite Om are beutiful cabins right in the heart of Dominical. It is located in an area full of organic and healthy food so you can always eat good. The cabins are really nice and clean. The people are very nice. Its one of the best places I have stayed in all of costa ricaJulian2015-12-30T00:00:00Z
Om Suite Om is the perfect place for a guest looking for a clean and well managed place to stay. We stayed here for 2 weeks and although it was lovely we found it lacked privacy between rooms and was in the heart of the night life. This was not a problem if we were participating in the night life however on the nights we needed some extra sleep it proved difficult to drown out the noise.Galen & Terri2017-02-12T00:00:00Z
Wauw! We really loved our stay here. The cabinas are beautiful, comfy and has everything you need (and more). The shower is great :-) even as the bed. The kitchen is fully equipped. Everything you need is there if you would like to cook yourself. Also the location is perfect. We would definitely recommend this if your planning to go to Dominical. Thanks Nicole!Tim2016-01-06T00:00:00Z
I can not thank Ben enough for all that he did for us. From the thoroughness and promptness in response to all of my inquiries and questions, to the care of us getting a rented vehicle. He went above and beyond! Om Suite Om was a very nice place to stay. The bed was most comfortable. The shower was so nice and the space of it all was just right. They have a safety deposit box in the room, which we found to be nice. There is a community kitchen which accommodates nicely. It's set up very well. Om Suite Om is nestled right in the midst of everything. A little natural food store, massage spa, cafe, gift shops, salon and a delicious taco place are all nearby. There's a sushi restaurant behind the office and it's just walking distance to the beach. Along the way is the hustle and bustle of cars, buses and people walking. With almost endless shops of all there can be to peak one's interest. Food, gifts, laundromat and rental places. There's just about everything walking distance. Om Suite Om was just about perfect. Ben who was the one I corresponded with the majority of the time, was superb. He is what made the place perfect. I just can't say enough good words about him and his service and kindness towards us. We really appreciate all that he did for us. The price for our room rental was just right too. Very happy with our choice. We really enjoyed our stay. I would definitely recommend Om Suite Om!MJ2017-02-27T00:00:00Z

This place was truly paradise! Spotless, safe and unique. Monkeys, birds, hiking trails were right on the property. We saw more there than at Manuel Antonio. we hired Evelin for breakfast and lunches and omg what a treat. We fell in love with her and her husband Fernando who maintained the property. They made our vacations! The communication with Zoe and Laura were straightforward and quick. I will recommend this place but I would rather keep it all to myself.heather2015-12-30T00:00:00Z
The stay at the property was fantastic, it was a beautiful location and the house is impeccable!Jesse2016-08-25T00:00:00Z
The pictures of Zoe's house didn't begin to do it justice. The grounds are truly spectacular! My brother, sister and I rented the property for a family getaway and we felt like we were at a beautiful resort that was made just for the 3 of us. The paths that meandered around the "houses" are beautifully planted with a variety of of exotic flowers and fruit trees. The hiking trails that encircle the six acres are immaculately groomed and take you down to rivers that border the property on two sides. We loved the separate pavilion that is placed on a grassy knoll overlooking the ocean. We found it a great place to have morning coffee or evening cocktails. Laura, the caretaker for the property was delightful and very helpful with suggestions on restaurants, beaches etc. Fernando and his wife, Evelyn were also very kind and Evelyn even cooked for us one night. The closest beach (Dominicalito) and the local waterfall (Pozo Azul) were also favorites of ours. The town of Domincal is fun for a visit and very close by. We also loved the design of the 3 pavilions and the fact that you could go to bed at night with all the doors open and hear the sounds of the rivers, ocean and jungle. I highly recommend this property if you are 2 couples vacationing together or a couple with 2 or 3 children.Pamela2015-04-19T00:00:00Z
My wife and I had the most fabulous time during our stay. The property is even more splendid than the pictures. A lot of thought and care went into the property layout with beautiful gardens and trails and a vista overlooking the ocean. You can almost get the entire Costa Rica vacation experience without ever leaving the property. Caretakers, Fernando and Evelyn were wonderful too. Evelyn made us a wonderful dinner one night. I think we found a real gem!robert2016-07-28T00:00:00Z
Dear Zoe, Thank you so much for a wonderful stay at your amazing property. The villa is in an absolutely spectacular setting. The buildings and grounds are beautifully designed and impeccably maintained. It is truly a tropical paradise, from the gardens of flowers and fruit trees to the incredible private jungle with paths and flora, fauna and animals (including monkeys, sloths, toucans and other birds) that rival Manuel Antonio and other popular destinations. Waking up in our own private jungle was truly an extraordinary experience. We really appreciated all the information you provided prior to our stay, and all the logistics went very smoothly. Laura provided wonderful onsite support and property management, and she and Fernando were immediately available to resolve a couple of small issues that arose during our stay. The staff were welcoming, friendly and so helpful. Our family of four, including our 19 and and 22 year old daughters, loved the close proximity to fabulous beaches like Playa Domenicalito, Playa Hermosa, Playa Uvita, Playa Ventana; and local restaurants like Porque No, the Jolly Roger, and Citrus in Ojochal. The location is perfect for exploring the coastline and we looked forward to coming back each day to our private retreat, a dip in the pool, and spectacular sunsets from the magical rancho overlooking the ocean. The drive up the hill (a 4x4 is definitely recommended) is totally worth the experience of a private oasis. We loved every minute of our visit, and highly and enthusiastically recommend this property to anyone looking for a very special, beautiful, private and natural setting. Thank you for this wonderful experience. Martin Geffen and Cathy Mallove, Toronto, Canadamartin2014-12-26T00:00:00Z
It is hard to describe how perfect this home is. As one of the first renters for this property, it had no prior reviews and we took a chance that the pictures and description were portrayed honestly. But in actuality, neither words nor pictures can describe how idyllic it is here. The property is just minutes off the main coastal route, but has ultimate privacy and creates the feeling of a true Costa Rica jungle experience. At the same time, the home is so smartly and beautifully designed, you also feel like you are vacationing in your own private 5-star resort. Perfect beds, amazing showers, stunning pool, incredible ocean views-- there is nothing that is less than spectacular. There are great trails for hiking right from the front door, and within minutes of our adventure we were swimming under warm waterfalls and watching monkeys swing from tree to tree. But then when we were ready for the beach, it was just two minutes away. Zoe made it as easy as possible to rent, and once there, we were made to feel like we owned the home ourselves. Her property managers were both extremely helpful but never intrusive. When we left, we went to a highly rated 5-star resort on the Pacific Coast, but it felt shallow and uninspiring by comparison. We even discussed leaving the hotel and seeing if we could rent Zoe's home again for just one more night—but that would have been risky because we probably never would have left. Find out for yourself—this is truly one very special place.Jed2014-11-09T00:00:00Z
My wife and I went to Costa Rica on our Honeymoon and were lucky enough to have rented Zoe's retreat for our 8 day stay. From the start when communicating with Zoe she was polite, thoughtful, and prompt with her replies. Once we booked our stay she sent a very detailed and informative welcome kit that was very helpful for us (you should read before your stay). She must have spent a great deal of time gathering and organizing all of that information about the house, possible daily activities and the area, great restaurants, and important local customs. The photos of the property are accurate. The house and grounds however are prettier in person. The property is exotic and beautiful, secluded and private, and sits in a lush and vibrant section of tropical rainforest and not to mention it has spectacular views of the ocean. It truly is a special place to stay. The property also has really great trails on it that allow you to go exploring without really ever leaving the property. Daily we saw spider monkeys, howler monkeys, toucans, and many other exotic animals on the grounds of the houses. Also there are some waterfalls that are that are only a 10 minute walk from the house that we suggest going to early in your stay. Zoe has a really great support staff that we interacted with when we needed too. We dealt with a rental manager named Laura on several occasions. The first night we had a minor issue with an AC unit that went out in one of the houses and the next day Laura and someone out to repair it first thing in the morning. Laura was super friendly and helped us with booking a zip-line tour and was available to answer any other questions that came up about the area. Also there is a married couple named Fernando and Evelyn that care directly for the property and the houses. They couldn't have been anymore helpful or polite to us during stay. If needed anything they made it happen with a smile. The local people in the area were very friendly and we never had any issues when venturing out for the day. The only thing that I would say about the area and locating a specific spot is be aware that there aren't street addresses like there are in the US. After a day or so you figure it out and it begins to all make sense. We would love to come back again and would highly recommend staying at Zoe's retreat to anyone considering this area of Costa Rica.Douglas 2015-12-01T00:00:00Z
Zoe's place was super nice! Totally private, spectacular views and very clean. Dishwasher and fridge with ice maker! Couldn't believe it! It's very unique, clean and comfortable. I highly recommend staying here!John 2015-09-09T00:00:00Z

There's only one word for Villa Malinche: awesome! Gorgeous, with just the right amount of luxury -- it was like stepping into the pages of a travel magazine. Thomas was a great host and communication was a breeze. Very well-equipped in every way -- from kitchen stuff, to towels, to guide books, to wi-fi. Plus, all kinds of cool wildlife right at our doorstep: monkeys, birds, lizards, and the sounds of the rainforest. Perfect in every way. You will never want to leave!tracy2012-01-01T00:00:00Z
This is a beautiful luxurious property in Quepos. We had breathtaking views of the ocean and sunsets. I spent a lot of time in the hammocks reading and cooking in the well equipped kitchen. The jacuzzi and shower were very relaxing and it was a very short drive from Manuel Antonio park. I would recommend a 4 wheel drive as the drive into the property gets very steep, and stocking up on your fruits and veggies at the markets behind the bus station in town. We at lunch at the soda just east of the soccer field. Our last night there we at at La Bohemia restaurant as suggested by a lovely woman we met in the bakery. It was certainly the best dinner I've had in a long time and the owner was nice. My favorite part of the trip was the family of squirrel monkeys that hung out in the trees in the yard for about a half hour. I loved it. Tomas was very informative before we arrived and Kathrin who met us in town and escorted us to the property was so nice, helpful and excitable. Yay!Amanda2012-05-31T00:00:00Z
We arrived via arranged transportation from San Jose. Galleta was our driver, and he gave us a very informative ride, pointing out much of Costa Rica's beauty. The Villa was exactly as described. Everything was in perfect working order, and the views were breathtaking. Angie assisted us with any questions or desires we had, and the four days flowed smoothly. My only complaint was that they went too fast!becky2015-06-18T00:00:00Z
We had an excellent time at Villa Malinche! Everything was just as advertised. It is such a beautiful place to stay, to unwind, rest and forget what you left at home. We wanted to see monkeys and birds, the rain forest, and relax. All this was accomplished! Our hosts, Thomas and Lili were such nice people and very helpful in getting around in Quepos and the area. Couldn't have chosen a better Villa. The howler monkeys were our alarm clock and the squirrel monkeys visited in the trees daily. This is the first vacation we've taken that allowed us to just go at our own pace and include some much needed quiet time. So glad we chose Costa Rica,Quepos and Villa Malinche!! Thank you Thomas and Lili for your hospitality and sharing your Villa (and birthday party) with us!!!!SHERRY2013-03-14T00:00:00Z
We spent 6 nights at this home and the beauty that surrounds this home is AMAZING, absolutely beautiful. The view being high up on the mountain was Georgeous! The home was very clean and had a fully stocked kitchen. Didn't see any monkeys, only a few small chameleons that enjoyed hanging out on the ceilings in the evenings and one igueona that hung out in the same tree every morning near the outdoor patio. Enjoyed the swimming pool too, just a short walk from the house. We feel that you MUST have your own 4x4 to stay here, otherwise you will be at the mercy of taxi drivers who will & who will not take you up the mountain. The road to the house is filled with huge pot holes and can be scary coming up at night. We walked into Quepos two times which is about a half hour walk into town. Never attempted walking up the mountain, too steep. While there in December keep in mind it is HOT HOT HOT, hotter then we thought it would be. Quepos was a great little town with friendly people and fantastic authentic costa rican food. You have to go to the local little restaurants behind the bus station..Delicious! Since not having our own car, we took the city bus from Quepos to Manuel Antonio to go to the beach & to go to a few other restaurants. Then dropped off at bus station having to take a taxi up the mountain. If you do not have your own car you are always at the mercy of a taxi driver having to go up & down the mountain. I would not stay here again without a car. Otherwise it was an absolutely beautiful place to stay.Tony & April2013-12-29T00:00:00Z
I can't say enough good things about this beautiful villa! Thomas is extremely welcoming, helpful and willing to assist guests however needed to make their stay unique, special and memorable. The villa is exactly as it looks in the pictures- except better! It is beautiful designed and contains everything you need to be comfortable on your vacation. There are beautiful ocean views from both inside and outside the villa. The property is very quiet and peaceful, the most tranquil place we stayed in Costa Rica. The location is great, less than 5 minutes from Quepos and about 10 minutes from Manuel Antonio. You get to experience wild animals including geckos, monkeys and different birds to name a few. The monkeys can get loud in the morning, but definitely made the experience fun and memorable. The geckos often come inside the villa, however they are harmless and didn't bother us at all. I would highly recommend the property and am so glad we stayed here! Absolutely beautiful!Darcie2014-11-22T00:00:00Z
My husband and I stayed at the Villa in mid July and it was wonderful!!!! In addition to Thomas helping arrange activities and setting us up with a cab driver we saw monkeys and a sloth a few steps from the door! The Villa is very well maintained, nicely decorated, and absolutely beautiful in ever direction you look! We were VERY pleased with our stay and would recommend it to anyone coming to this area!Melita2012-07-12T00:00:00Z

David was an awesome host! He greeted us when we arrived and even gave us a ride to the beach. He was also very helpful giving us advice on places to go eat. The place is surrounded by many trees and there is truly a jungle touch to it. Very peaceful, however close to downtown Quepos (walking distance) which means we were not isolated and car dependent and you can actually walk to a near bus stop and catch the local bus that runs between Quepos and Manuel Antonio.Esteban2012-08-27T00:00:00Z
Manuel Antonio is an amazing place to stay. David was a very helpful and willing host. Gave us solid recommendations for day activities and listed great restaurants to eat at. The room is exactly what I imagined for the price, clean and perfect for a Costa Rica getaway. The community is gated and parking is safe which is a plus. Location is great, and I would recommend this place to my friends!Chelsea2014-01-07T00:00:00Z
David was great! Told us where to go and where to eat. Awesome location!Melissa2015-12-27T00:00:00Z
David was a very helpful host, he answered all our questions and helped us understand the area upon arrival. The Villa is in a fantastic location. Both in terms of the safe community it's in and it's proximity to Manuel Antonio and Quepos. The Villa has no air conditioning and Wi-Fi is spotty, but it did work. The pool is upstairs on David's balcony which was less private than we had hoped so we did not use it. Our room, especially the bathroom, could have benefitted from a good cleaning when we arrived, but all in all the villa was a good choice for the price.Scott2015-06-24T00:00:00Z
David is amazing! The villa is in a safe, gated community that happens to be situated on a hill that sucks to walk on (walked up it once, which was more than enough). David recommendations on places to eat and see were spot on and did almost every single one. The house is nice and the pool is refreshingly cool on those warm Quepos days. Great end to our trip to Costa Rica!Semhar 2015-12-01T00:00:00Z
David is a really nice guy, very communicative and helpful with planning our tours :) also he gave us great advice for restaurants and bars. He really knows the area since he runs a Costa Rica magazine. The accommodation was like in the photos. It was quite humid in the room, but that's what happens if you stay in the jungle. Unfortunately there is no wifi in the room, only by the pool. The neighbourhood is beautiful and safe, since it's gated. If you're lucky you can also spot some animals in the trees around the accommodation :)Paula2016-07-14T00:00:00Z
David was a fantastic host, with lots of great ideas for activities and places to visit. The room is simple but fantastic, exactly they type of experience we were looking for! The pool really set the place apart. It was almost cold, and PERFECT for cooling off after a long hot day! I'd recommend David and his rooms any time.Peter2016-02-01T00:00:00Z
What an amazing experience! The place is great, large, airy room with a large balcony overlooking the jungle. The room is clean and has everything you need. The pool is a delight and really appreciated after a long day in the heat. Location is good abt 5min walk to Quepos and a short bus or taxi ride to Manuel Antonio. It's in a gated community with a jungle feel and friendly staff. We saw 3 types of monkeys, lots of iguanas and exotic birds around the house. David is exceptional as a host. He shares all of his local knowledge, helps out in every way possible and invites you to join him on nights out. If you show an interest in the local wildlife he'll show you their normal spots to hang out and come get you if he sees anything. A great guy and a great host.Corinne2016-01-01T00:00:00Z

The Jungle Villa is a lovely home away from home in Costa Rica. The views are spectacular-- of the water below and the monkeys next door. We ate breakfast each morning at the bar on our porch to take in this view. We arrived on the 26th (Douglas met us in town and led up the hill to our spot); the Christmas decorations were charming. The location was excellent, in the heart of Quepos and close to Manuel Antonio. Marta was so great in helping us prepare. She provides a book of some of the best activities and tours and she personally made arrangements for the ones we selected. We were able to cook for ourselves, as the kitchen has all amenities and the supermarket and farmers market are nearby. We loved our stay at Casa Pargo, and would recommend it to all!Christopher2014-12-30T00:00:00Z
My girlfriend and I enjoyed our stay at Marta and Douglas's "Jungle Villa". Marta was there to greet us when we got there and was there to answer any of our questions on the area or give us suggestions on things to do or places to eat. Overall the place was great, beautiful views, clean and large villa. We enjoyed having the kitchen to have some meals in. Loved the city of Quepos and the surrounding area, if you are in to hiking check out the Nauyaca Waterfall as well as Manuel Antonio was a great place to hike and spend time at the beach.Kevin2016-07-26T00:00:00Z
Marta was amazing. She was extremely kind and always accommodating. Whatever we needed, she was more than happy to help us. The home was beautiful. We had a comfortable bed, our own large bathroom, a fully stocked kitchen, and beautiful views of the surrounding jungle and the marina. We couldn't have asked for more. Another thing that is worth mentioning is that everything booked through Marta was booked with locals and by locally owned companies. Plus, Marta has lived there all her life, she gave great advice on what to see and do.Liliana2016-06-20T00:00:00Z
We had a great time staying at Marta and Douglas' place. The view is amazing, our place was cleaned every day which we didnt expect. The pool is spotless. We had plenty of room and a big balcony. The monkeys came by often and were very entertaining. We would definately go back there again. Great hosts!Diane2015-03-03T00:00:00Z
Marta and Douglas were excellent hosts. They were attentive and helpful at all times. The Jungle Villa was a wonderful experience. It was clean and comfortable. The air conditioning was particularly comforting during those warm nights. Although the driveway was quite steep, my wife and I enjoyed the walk during the mornings. The area was quite safe and easily accessible to all amenities. If staying the Quepos area, I would strongly recommend the Jungle Villa as a great place to stay.Paul2016-03-29T00:00:00Z
A great, roomy apartment with beautiful views. We even had a troop of capuchin monkeys outside the living room window! The bedroom has air conditioning, which was awesome for afternoon siestas. The guide they recommended for Manuel Antonio was really good, too. One warning: their driveway is very steep and sometimes cab drivers did not want to drive all the way up. We told them they could stop at the gate, and we walked the rest of the way up.Emily2016-01-23T00:00:00Z
Muchas gracias for everything - we had a great time staying in the Jungle room. The view over the marina was amazing and worth every step up the hill. The appartment was very clean and the open kitchen to the jungle was unique and very relaxing. Marta was very helpful with everything: she organized a tour in manuel antonio with a great guide who showed us many animals and had great knowledge about the park, she also did our laundry (for 8 dollars, but it was very convenient) and helped us organizing our trip to Montezuma. Thanks a lot for all of that! We definitely recommend to stay at Marta's and Douglas' place if you plan to go to manuel antonio (Quepos).Sonja & Christoph2014-11-16T00:00:00Z
The view from the villa was spectacular. Marta and Douglas were very attentive to our needs and did a great job of explaining the many options available for food, sights, and excursions. Would definitely stay here again.Carol2016-02-14T00:00:00Z

Met with Jeff and Wendy when we arrivedTimothy2016-11-11T00:00:00Z
You can stop your search for the perfect place to stay in the Dominical area: This is it. We were at House of Jupiter for a full week in mid-March with our two boys, ages 16 and 12 and only wish it had been longer. Photos don't do this place justice: it's palatial, though we spent most of our time lounging on the beautiful wraparound covered balcony, where every morning we were witness to flocks of toucans and tons of other birds (whose names we were less familiar with). The view is spectacular: gorgeous mountains from which gentle mists rise each morning as the sun wakes up the jungle in an impressive din. A highlight was the arrival, twice, of a troupe of white-faced monkeys, who feasted on fruit in the palm trees next to the balcony at eye-level with us—an experience we paid good money for on a day trip to Manuel Antonio. We also enjoyed the nightly pool visits from the Jesus Christ lizard (they run across water), various impressively sized toads, and adorable agoutis. Jeff was the perfect host: right at hand with useful suggestions when you needed him, and unobtrusive when you didn't. He helped us arrange for our car rental, where his insider's knowledge helped eliminate needless research and potential rookie mistakes. Highly recommended. Book it.Craig2016-03-11T00:00:00Z
Everything about the House of Jupiter was terrific. The home is spacious and well-appointed, beautifully situated on the hillside to show the area at it's best. It's a bird-watcher's heaven and I was thrilled to see a sloth just hanging around(URL HIDDEN)vehicle is recommended. Jeff (host) is very knowledgeable and hospitable. Great experience for all in the traveling party.Chris2015-09-09T00:00:00Z
I've stayed at a few different homes on our stay at Costa Rica and the house of Jupiter is miles above the rest! Me, my wife and two kids (9 & 13) stayed with Jeff and Wendy for 6 days and nights and they went above and beyond on every aspect there was. If there was ever anything we needed they had it to us in minutes. We stayed in the upstairs villa and it was amazing! The kids loved the bunkbeds and me and my wife could sit out on the terrace and watch hummingbirds and toucan's with a beautiful backdrop of mountains and ocean. The pool was clean and nice for an afternoon swim. They showed us all the places we wanted to see and then some. They even went as far as making sure we had a rental car ready when our plane arrived. From day one to the very last day we didn't have a single complaint. I would recommend this house 100%. The road up to the house wasn't very bad at all. Typical unpaved road in Costa Rica, from what I've seen. We made it to the top in a rental car even in a heavy rain without any problem so I wouldn't be concerned about that.Ryan2015-04-20T00:00:00Z
There are so many good things to list about this property, I'm afraid I will run out of space! Jeff and Wendy were amazing to deal with. Excellent communication from the time of reservation, to the time we left. Jeff was always accessible to answer any questions we had, and gave us our privacy the rest of the time. He even helped us set up some surf lessons. They are very knowledgeable about the area. The house is very well maintained, clean and the view is amazing! The terrace is huge, with comfortable seating and hammocks to relax in, there's almost no need to spend time inside! But if you wanted to, there are comfortable lounge areas and the screened windows allow the breeze to flow through the house, making it temperate and comfortable. It is in the perfect central location for exploring the area, and you can easily fill 5 days worth of stuff to see and do within an hours drive or less. Jeff provided us with his handy GPS that had all the best locations pre-programmed, and even took us with them to a nearby town to visit a farmers market one day. (The area is easy to drive around, but would recommend a 4 wheel drive vehicle) Dominical has a lovely beach, and a relaxed, surfer vibe - but there were also other beaches just a short drive away - as well as waterfalls, hikes, and farmers markets. It was great to go out exploring during the day, and then hang out in the hammocks on the deck in the evenings with the cool breeze and the sounds of the jungle all around us - or even pop down into Dominical town for dinner (lots of delicious food options!) We hope to come back and stay here again in the future!Suzan2015-06-02T00:00:00Z
My family and I just spent 5 days with jeff and Wendy in the beautiful House of Jupiter. We had a fantastic time. The house is stunning full of everything you need for a comfortable stay. The pool is lovely and equipped with fun inflateable toys for the kids to enjoy. The view is spectacular, we saw lots of tucans and other tropical creatures. Jeff and Wendy were really helpful, they organised our car rental and were full of local knowledge and tips on what to see.. We made use of their massive TV and found the whole experience really positive, we were sad to leave. I'd highly recommend Jupiter for a stay in Dominical.Louise2015-02-20T00:00:00Z
We needed a couple of days to decompress and we found the perfect location to do so. Jeff is the perfect host and our accommodations were fantastic. 3 big bedrooms a fully stocked kitchen and the porch with 2 hammocks was where we ended up every night. Loved it and will definitely be back.ROBIN2015-02-22T00:00:00Z
I love it! Good place for families. Quiet getaway. Patio 10/10. Toucans! The pool is delicious. 10 mins to the beach, 4x4 suggested. Open air layout. Well stocked kitchen.alex2015-10-25T00:00:00Z

Calif. firefighters- Wildfires contained by Monday
BELLE VISTA, Calif. -- Firefighters reported progress Saturday in their battle to contain a nearly 10,000-acre wildfire that destroyed 80 homes after being touched off by a spark from a lawn mower.
Crews expected to have the blaze fully contained by Monday evening.
"Everything is good news today, so far," said Roy Del Carlo, a spokesman for the state Department of Forestry and Fire Protection.
By midday Saturday, the fire had blackened 9,922 acres and destroyed 30 outbuildings and 10 vehicles in addition to the 80 homes, Del Carlo said.
The blaze was 80 percent contained and no longer threatening homes, he said. Most residents who were evacuated were being allowed to return to their property.
Cost will top $1.8 million
The fire began Wednesday when a lawn mower struck a rock in dry grass, setting off a blaze that cut erratically through the pine-and-oak-covered hills south of Shasta Lake, about 140 miles northwest of Sacramento.
Residents said they were puzzled by the way the blaze spared some homes while destroying others nearby. Del Carlo said 186 homes had been saved.
Officials said they don't have an estimate of how much damage the blaze caused but said the cost of fighting the fire will top $1.8 million.
In central Washington, firefighters worked to gain the upper hand on several wildfires Saturday as forecasters predicted new lightning strikes this weekend.
Lightning and thunderstorms were forecast in Clark, Skamania and Klickitat counties, Public Lands Commissioner Doug Sutherland said Saturday from Olympia, "all of which worries all of us a lot."
A fire that covered more than 700 acres on Yakama tribal lands was under control and in the mop-up stage Saturday. A tribal dispatcher said that blaze started Tuesday.
Acreage numbers held steady in checks with fire officials Saturday but were expected to increase "because it was very active last night," said Carol Tocco, spokeswoman for the Northwest Interagency Fire Center in Portland, Ore. Crews had not yet called in updated numbers.
About 30 homes remained evacuated, with residents of another 40 to 50 homes put on notice they might have to leave because of a blaze about 20 miles northwest of Wenatchee. The fire was estimated at 2,100 acres Friday night, fire information officer Stefani O'Connor said.
Northwest of Yakima, residents of seven homes that had been evacuated along a mountain road were allowed to return Friday night. A nearby fire was estimated at about 4,200 acres.
Residents of another 45 homes along the Naches River were on notice they might have to flee if the fire grew. The fire was burning in grass, sagebrush and timber. It was 75 percent contained Friday night.

Marina Antunes [Celluloid 01.17.11] movie news short south korea
Apple must be loving this. Their phone might not have the best camera on the market (that honour goes to Nokia and their N8 which has a built in 12MP camera) but alas, it's one of the most popular phones on the market. With the launch of the iPhone coming up in South Korea, KT Corp., the phone's exclusive carrier, brought Korean director Park Chan-wook of Thirst and Vengeance Trilogy fame, onboard to shoot a 30 minute long film using the iPhone.
Very few directors could put excitement into the words "film shot entirely on the iPhone" but Park is definitely one of them. Night Fishing (Paranmanjang) is a fantastical tale about a man who, while out fishing one afternoon/evening, catches the body of a woman dressed in white. While trying to untangle the line he faints and wakes up wearing the clothes that the woman was wearing. This tale of death only gets stranger from there.
The film is scheduled to open in select South Korean theatres at the end of the month as to when everyone else can expect to see it… I'd guess it'll likely make its way to various film festivals as the year progresses.
Now don't go thinking that what Park shot looks like the video shot by some random guy on YouTube. For starters, Park is a brilliant director and what's more, he has some amazing gadgetry working behind the scenes. He might be shooting on an iPhone but I'm pretty positive those lenses aren't standard issue. Just take a look at the behind the scenes video (sadly, only available in Korean) which gives a peek at the production.
The short teaser and behind the scenes video are after the break.

Let the drooling commence:
Isn't it gorgeous. And so sweet of the Aunties to remember how much I love JS and find this special piece for me.
I've been on a dose of hydrocodone for my implant pain, luckily today is better so I'm not taking it, but I get the worst headaches from this pain med (and I don't sleep well) and it seems to take forever for the headache to go away even after I quit taking the meds.
Do pain meds bother you?? The other option which is the generic for Percocet makes me scratch till I bleed and I was told I'm allergic to it. I sure don't get how people become addicted to this stuff, it just makes me miserable and I only do it to get past the worst pain.
Happy Stitches and Hugs,

I haven't met a pain med that I didn't have a reaction to. Itching, nausea, headaches, or just plain knocking me out and leaving a terrible hangover. I hate them all! I took only one after my eye surgery, some non-narcotic one I have never taken before and I passed out and fell on the bathroom tile face first. I have the knot on my head to prove it. I am with you, how can people take these things when the side affects are so awful. I hope you feel better soon.

Offshoring — the idea of sending call-center jobs overseas — is a cost-saving measure that has been employed by corporations over the last decade. In an offshoring arrangement, a call center is created overseas and local employees — who work for a fraction of an American call-center agent's salary — are trained. Offshoring sounds like a good idea, but it isn't in every case. Savings from low overhead have been offset by the dismal customer-satisfaction ratings for offshore call centers, mostly due to lack of needed expertise, cultural differences and poor communication skills.
In many cases, American CSRs (customer service representatives) hone in on customers' needs and connect with them accordingly. International employees, on the other hand, often believe that it is impolite to take charge or fail to grasp the issue. When calling an overseas call center, customers may need to restate their problems a number of times to supervisors or specialists or even make multiple calls to solve the same problem. Such difficulties can make customers reluctant to do business with the company again.
Bringing call-center operations into the homes of U.S.-based agents (often known as "homeshoring") has provided a way for managers to lower costs, as well as improve customer and employee satisfaction.
Companies benefit from homeshoring because employees provide their own computers, office space and phones. In some cases, the brick-and-mortar call center is entirely eliminated. Instead of on-site classes, many companies are substituting self-paced online tutorials or Webcasts given by home-office personnel or industry specialists. Self-paced study gives agents the flexibility to study at times that fit their schedules, as well as the ability to advance to more specialized areas when they are ready.
Home-based agents not only save time that would otherwise be spent commuting, but also money that would normally be spent on gas. These employees have the option to work full-time or part-time in shifts that fit their schedules. Soccer moms can work during the school year and take off during the summer, and students who want to work evenings or nights can do so.
Customers like call-center personnel who speak their own language and understand their own culture. More importantly, U.S.-based agents can often complete a transaction or solve a problem in a single call. A sense of competence and efficiency, plus ease of communication, provides a positive experience for customers and keeps them coming back.
What Is Required?
Employers screen call-center applicants to weed out those who are not appropriate for their type of business. While offshoring has it difficulties, homeshoring can also create problems if employees are not right for the job. A self-starter mentality is mandatory, and technical skills are a plus. Working at home requires an employee to be reliable and to possess the ability to take initiative, when necessary, to be responsible for customers' satisfaction.
Employees need an OS (operating system) that is compatible with the company's software, as well as a high-speed Internet connection. The company provides phone software that monitors calls and routes them to individual agents, as well as software for updating and tracking call records. Ongoing training is a must to ensure a positive customer experience. Flexibility on the part of employees to adapt to technical, product or procedural changes helps, too.
Turnover is typically high in call centers, but less so when the opportunity to work at home is combined with the opportunity to advance within the company. Some companies, such as VIPdesk, based in Arlington Va., hire from within their ranks when filling corporate positions. To inspire employee loyalty and motivation to advance, such companies sometimes hold monthly contests and recognize excellent performance. Creating virtual community spirit goes a long way toward keeping employees.
Homeshoring jobs are no longer limited to call centers for retail businesses. The market is growing for technical-support jobs; hospitality positions in the airline and hotel industries; and even specialized professionals such as software-development teams, financial experts and medical-support professionals. Information is instantly available to virtual teams and online communities. Teams can work in concert with little or no effort, and customers have the satisfaction of feeling that their problems are being addressed.
