Gorgeous Hideaway in the Costa Rican jungle
Publié le 8 janv. 2024 sur HomeAwayWe could not possibly say enough about how much we enjoyed staying at Casa Amarilla. Nestled in the hills above Pavones Bay, this remote location is a must for wildlife enthusiasts and travelers alike. The absolute peace and beauty of this property cannot be understated.
Take the advice of getting a 4-wheel drive car, it was a necessity on the steep hills. And bring your binoculars for the birds, butterflies, monkeys, and lizards you can expect to see. The caretaker, Freddy, is incredibly friendly and helpful for anything you may need or questions you have.
While the pool was unfortunately out of order during our stay, we made several day trips into Pavones to enjoy the black sand beaches and boogie board the legendary waves. We also had local Enrique take us on a waterfall hike that was otherworldly. The local turtle conservation project was another highlight, and we we able to observe hatchlings released into the ocean.
The cuisine of the area is delectable and when we wanted to stay in, the large kitchen is a chef's dream. Many local supermarkets have a good variety of meats, produce, and other food staples.
If you prefer to travel away from the large touristy areas and have an adventurous soul, Pavones is a wonderful place. Casa Amarilla felt like home.

Many thanks Rebecca - we're so glad you had such a good time. Hopefully the pool will be back in action for your next trip (or our plans to install another one at the house will have come to fruition!).

Amazing location
Publié le 2 août 2023 sur HomeAwayThe property is located in a lush jungle, surrounded by fruit trees, wild life and amazing views. The house was once gorgeous, but it was neglected for way too long and it shows. The AC in 1 of the 2 BR stopped working long time ago, the second bathroom was locked because it was broken and the main bathroom had the toilet blocked and very dirty at our arrival. There were none of the hammocks featured on the photos available at the property. The dishwasher is broken as well. Worst part was the terrible smell we had in the 2 smaller bedrooms, which took us 2 days to figure out where it was coming from: a bat family living in the attic right above the bedrooms, so most probably the urine infested the ceiling. The pool was gorgeous and we spent a lot of time over there. Overall, the listing was quite inaccurate which is not fair as we felt robbed. The good news is that it seems that renovation work is planned in the near future, so hopefully the following renters will be better served.

Hi Adrian, thank you for your honesty.
Yes, the house was badly dilapidated. However, it is under new management and the needed repairs are currently being worked out...including a private pool...! YAY!
Don't leave us out on your next stay, it will all be repaired the next time you come! I will be adding all new photos once the work is done too.

Großartige Natur
Publié le 28 juill. 2023 sur HomeAwayFreddy hat sich phantastisch um uns gekümmert, Natur und Umgebung waren das Schönste, was wir an der Pazifikküste gesehen haben. Leider wurde das Haus verkauft, so dass der allgemeine Pflegezustand etwas besser hätte sein können, aber das ließ sich über die Aussicht verschmerzen.

Hidden gem
Publié le 10 janv. 2023 sur HomeAwayI think it was the most scenic place we have ever stayed at in Costa Rica. The house is spacious and has a great style to it. The patio is facing the ocean; every morning and evening you can sit and contemplate all the beauty that surrounds the property. It was such a terrific experience for us and our kids - we saw all kinds of animals and birds right at the house. I cant recommend this place enough for people who enjoy nature and would like to experience it in its original state. The property is close to Pilon and Pavones and all the restaurants and attractions the area has.

Great view
Publié le 5 janv. 2023 sur HomeAwayCommanding view from the top of the ridge with great bird watching opportunities. Modern-ish spacious kitchen and bath. The road to get there is a little beat-up but that’s Costa Rica.

Thanks for the review John, the view is definitely spectacular on this little mountain! By the way, new asphalt roads are being added around town and our road was redone last year too, so driving has been a lot more bearable! Hope you visit us again soon!

Jungle house, pool down the road a bit
Publié le 24 déc. 2022 sur HomeAwayWe stayed a week here. The road requires a 4x4. The pool is a short walk down the road but it’s lovely. The house is quite comfortable with superb wildlife viewing off the deck. We were visited by toucans and scarlet macaws every morning, and squirrel monkeys and capuchins also visited. There were a couple of green dart frogs just off the deck. Lots of house geckos and a few other indoor fauna but we find that you often get that in jungle houses! It’s about a 10 minute drive on a rough road from the 611 road. The nearest market is on the way to Pavones, about 25 min drive. If you’re going out for dinner go to Gabby’s place, about 100m towards Pavones from the above mentioned supermarket, awesome food and super atmosphere. Freddy the local house caretaker was excellent.

Hello Sue, thank you for your review! The house is on a dirt road that was very bad at the time of your arrival. It has since been fixed and no longer requires 4x4. Not to mention, the municpality has been laying new asphalt roads throughout the Pavones area.
The house is currently getting necessary repairs and is under new management, so be sure to check out the new house photos (coming soon!) the next time you're planning a vacation!
Thanks again,

Pavones 2022
Publié le 13 avr. 2022 sur HomeAwayI rent a different house almost every year in Pavones. This house was spacious with an amazing view if the peninsula, a short walk to the largest pool I’ve seen down there with occasional Cappuchin monkey and Macaw sightings. Freddy the groundskeeper was very nice and helpful.

Remote Jungle House
Publié le 19 mars 2022 sur HomeAwayWe had a great time during our stay. As long as your expectations are tempered and realistic, this is a great property. It is up on the side of the mountain overlooking the ocean. Great balcony to hang out on in the morning and evenings with amazing flora and fauna EVERYWHERE! The pool was great to use in the late morning and afternoon and the beach and restaurants were within a 15 minute drive. The host is great and set us up with a two hour horse riding tour down at the beach. We will be back!

"Paradise Found"
Publié le 21 févr. 2022 sur HomeAwayMy wife and I stayed at Casa Amarilla for the month of February and the first few days of March, 2022. This was our 5th visit to Costa Rica & Panama, and our very best and favourite experience ever! The sights, sounds and fragrances of the rainforest was breathtaking. .The locals are so friendly, and the few tourists, as well. Are preparing to book more time at Casa Amarilla next year
As we said, truly "PARADISE FOUND"

Großartige Dschungelvilla mit fantastischer Aussicht.
Publié le 12 janv. 2022 sur HomeAwayWer die Einsamkeit sucht ist hier genau richtig. Hatten eine herrlich entspannte Zeit in der Casa Amarilla, traumhafte Sonnenuntergänge mit Blick über den Dschungel bis zum Meer, Tukane und Aras die vorbeiflogen, Brüllaffen die lautstark meckerten…. Ein Traum! Den nur wenige Schritte entfernten (Gemeinschafts) Pool durften wir auch alleine genießen inkl Faultier im Baum .
Die Straßen sind auch ohne 4x4 schaffbar (zumindest in der Trockenzeit) allerdings muss man auch für kurze Strecken ausreichend Zeit einplanen und die Einkäufe gut organisieren ;-)
Die Strände in der näheren Umgebung 15-45 Minuten Fahrt) großartig und ebenfalls sehr wenig frequentiert.
Freddy und Enrique sehr zuvorkommend und zuverlässig und die Kommunikation mit dem Vermieter ließ auch keine Fragen offen (inkl 1a sehr detaillierte Wegbeschreibung :-)
Absolut empfehlenswert.
