About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

The Osa Peninsula is teeming with exotic monkeys, birds, and wildlife.

Plus remote beaches, great waterfront restaurants and eco adventures close by too. Our home and 100 acre rainforest reserve is situated only a few kilometers away from Corcovado National Park, which is mostly primary rainforest and considered the most biodiverse area in the world. What does that mean you as a person looking to reserve a vacation home near Corcovado National Park. Well, get ready for an adventure of a lifetime as we have fun kayak and boat tours to see dolphins and whales in Golfo Dulce, also night tours to see bioluminescent colors in Gulf and tours in rainforest to see wildlife, venomous frogs, colorful insects and nocturnal critters that come out at night. There is fishing, waterfall rappelling, sloth and chocolate farm and factory tours nearby, butterfly farms and hiking through the National Park.
Our home is 3 levels with 5 bedrooms and 4 baths. There is hot water in two of the showers and only one bedroom is open to the natural surroundings with additional insect netting over beds. The other rooms are 100% screened in with ceiling fans, reading lights and comfy linens. Great swimming pool, also a BBQ grille to keep you cooking. Kitchens, living rooms, dining areas, pool areas and studio are openwith low lighting as not to attract unwanted insects during your stay. But don’t worry, fans take care of most the inconveniences and most guests aren’t bothered at all.

You’ll hear wildcats at night, owls, see kinkajous, agoutis and 3 types of monkeys, 2 kinds of toucans, 4 types of parrots and parakeets and the squawking Scarlet Macaws too.

As you read our reviews, you’ll come across a few people who complain about everything, everywhere they go, no matter how clean and new things are, they’ll find something to complain about. People that come to the most bio diverse area in the world, then expect no bugs is like booking a hot springs vacation and complaining the water is too hot, or going diving without getting wet. I offer an experience that puts you close to nature.
Many people travel with their fears, phobias and unrealistic expectations of accommodations. Recommendation, for those of you looking for a hotel type experience, everything closed in, glass, a/c and room service on demand, my home is not for you. However if you are a flexible traveler with a taste for adventure, I suggest you reserve with us.

True Jungle Experience
My husband and I and our 4 boys stayed at this property for a week. It was a great spot for taking in the surroundings of puerto Jimenez. We did a whale and dolphin tour and a guided tour into Corcovado national park. You truly feel like you are sleeping in the jungle while at this home. It was a once in a lifetime adventure!

Amazing wildlife treehouse in Osa
This house had such amazing wildlife viewing we hardly ever left. that combined with the lovely pool, scenic walks and open air showers. We saw squirrel monkeys, toucans, macaws, capuchins all from our balcony and walks around the house we found kinkajou and tyra along with a host of other species. Thanks for having us- 100 percent recommend!

Tree tops and monkeys
Micheal and his wife are awesome people! We loved the tree house! We saw lots of nature, scarlet macaws, squirrel monkeys, heard the howler monkeys. We also had a messages given by Shirley, we all were completely relaxed. Highly impressed with Micheal as host. Hopefully we will be able to get back there soon again!

Jungle
This property was very pretty but definitely all jungle. The animals were amazing from monkeys to McCaws. If bugs are not your thing though, the openness of this property might not be for you. Overall the experience we booked.

Total Jungle Eye Candy
We spent a week at the Jungle Experienica in late July. What an awesome experience. The house, or mansion or words cannot express what this place is! We had an unimpeded view of the jungle to delight our senses every single moment of the day. Each day we would sit in the living room and just stare. It was mesmerizing. Our staff Michael and crew were great. They attended to our needs with no intrusions. The service was great. Back to the home. It was like having your own hotel all to yourself. We watched as monkeys were swinging by and delighted with the sounds of howler monkeys and macaws. The home even has a view of the ocean in the distance. There are hikes you can take right on the property. It's super, super private. We would head down to Puerto Jimenez to stock up for food as well as going on tours. This house was Disney inspired by our host and boasts a capacity of 14 if need be. Hot showers, full size refrigerator and plenty of bathrooms with ceiling fans. We want to come back ASAP!!

Not as nice as appears
The house is falling apart, and filthy. Hot water never worked, kept blamming it on us when a house should support its water pump and heater at the same time. In the end the power would go off even when taking a cold shower at night just from the water pump running. Half the time we were in the house we didnt have power because of these same issues. For a " luxury home " it sure was far from it. Ended up spending new years with no power. He left some of his dirty underwear under one of the beds. The house was also showing one less double bed than listed, even after verifying with him the beds prior to my trip. The pool is a bit small but you can see that in the pictures.
