Montezuma Heights Art House. Amazing ocean view. Sleep 7
Art House 250U$/night.. Prices are per couple, each extra person pays 20U$ more. We also offer cabins for rent ( also listed in homeaway)
The cottages and the house are made with love and knowledge what give them beauty and functionality. The ocean view is one of it´s kind, you got to come yourself to see that any photo would be able to do its justice, simple the view of the wide wide open see and the first touch of the horizon would eclipse and capture your senses like a spell drive., We do have a shared pool for all our guests.
Art house; It is the main house on the property and has the best details of all, the pool is right in front and shared with the guests of the cabins. The views from the bedrooms are incredible and makes you feel sleeping above the pacific. The house has two double, three single beds and two full bathrooms. There will be Luna our people and children loving Lab on the property, There are many more details, but it is up to you to discover them.
Our cottages and house are in an area blessed by the very first inhabitants: Chorotegas-Mangues,Borucas and Terrabas (C.R indigenas) that lived here and in the surroundings. Venerating their God ('Nenbithia') and Godess ('Nengui Tamali') to take care of the Cosmos. That sense of sacredness, peacefulness and meaningful encounter you could sense that truly took place in this area. In resume, It is well known and documented that the ancient Costarrican indigenous used to lived around here and cliff zones where specially appreciated by them.
On the other side, there is almost an endless row of natural attractions like waterfalls, tight pools,lagoons, beaches with a variety of different sands, Cabo Blanco Natural Park and natural reserves and much more. The major hotels and condo companies haven’t reached this area till now, what keeps the area pretty virgin and natural without the problems other areas have to face now. For nature lovers or people who just wanna rest from their daily stress it is a great plus. Contact us for availability, thanks :) Peter and Rocio

What a wonderful piece of paradise. The photos online don't do it justice. We were very impressed by the responsiveness of the host - there is a groundskeeper and he was always at our door within 5 minutes after we had madea request. The grounds are beautiful and the view is unbeatable. The house is huge and so well decorated - it truly is an Art House and contributes to a local type of experience.
It's important to heed the host's advice - the roads to get there are tough, you definitely don't want to arrive there for the first time in the dark. But once you drive the road a few times, it gets much easier to navigate.
We would go back to this place in a heartbeat. Special thanks to Peter (Host) and Santiago (grounds keeper) for making our stay in Montezuma (4 nights) so wonderful.

Perfect Stay, Epic View
This is a great way to enjoy your vacation. Panoramic views. Plenty of space for the family. A warm welcome from the groundskeeper, Santiago. Nice pool. Plenty of room to find a nook and spread your wings.

Unbelievably uncomfortable, Misrepresented, and sooo many bugs
My husband and I are in our early 30s, very active and travel to Central America every year. We have been to Montezuma 4 times and stayed at multiple places and this was by far the worst, and also the most expensive. We thought we would splurge and up our game from our normal backpacker hotels/cheaper VRBOs. Unfortunately, the owner does not represent the property well in their descriptions and we were misled to expect something far different. To start, the cabin is more like a shack, and you can see light coming through large cracks between planks when you look back on it at night. This does nothing to keep out bugs, there is a mosquito net over the bed but we had ants and praying mantises and other bugs in the bed every morning. Not to mention tons of bug bites! The bed is about 2ft from fridge and stove top, if you leave your garbage inside, bugs come in, if you put it outside the racoons get it. Maid service was NOT included as they say it is. They changed our sheets once during our week stay, only after we went up to the main house and requested it. Same with garbage. The bathroom, adjacent to kitchen and bed area is only separated by a 3/4 wall, so no privacy there. This place is very small. The shower is outside and had no light, so we had to use headlamps to watch for snakes when entering the shower at night. The main house which is often represented in the photos was occupied by the owner who was living by himself at the time. We were not invited to use the pool and honestly, he had a creepy vibe.
We almost left early multiple times, but we are the kind of people who like to give things the benefit of the doubt and tough it out. This is one of few times I regret that, by the time we left we were miserable and covered with bug bites. I had my laptop with me and a colony of ants came in and literally colonized the inside of my computer, but there was nothing we could do to keep them out of the shack. I could seriously go on and on about the downfalls of this place.
To end on a positive note though, the view is amazing, just don't be afraid of sharing your space with spiders the size of your hand, sharing your bed with ants and your trash with, well everything. For what it actually is, $50 would be a much more reasonable price. Stay in town and enjoy the vibe of Montezuma.
Also, a car or atv rental is absolutely required.
I will NEVER go back, and we are really pretty chill about things. This place was unbelievably uncomfortable.

Amazing views and property. Way better than the photos
Great property with incredible views located ~15 minutes drive from the town of Montezuma. Nice pool and lots of space to enjoy the view of the ocean and listen for the howler monkeys. Clean and very open living space with lots of air flow and although there is no AC, there was enough open air flow to get a good sleep on those hot nights. A vehicle is a must to get in and out of town, to restaurants and attractions.

Rustic tiny cabin on dramatic cliff
I stayed in the Mariposa cabin with my boys aged 10 & 12. It was cozy but worked fine. The cabin would be better as a romantic private place for a couple. It was very simple but had everything you need. You will need to bring all food essentials: ie salt pepper sugar. The drive up from Montezuma is extremely steep and a little scary. We did not have a car but Santiago, the caretaker, helped us find a nice taxi driver who was willing to drive us back and forth. Santiago was very helpful. He speaks only Spanish but he called Peter the owner when we had and difficulty with translation. Peter was also very helpfull. Although the location was Slightly inconvenient to get to the beach etc, I felt very safe up there at night with the windows and doors open. Montezuma town itself is a little seedy and you could not do that. My boys and I enjoyed lazy days at the swimming pool. We listened to howler monkeys below us on the cliffs and enjoyed stalking huge iguanas on the grounds. There were white faced capuchin monkeys in the trees around us and great birding in the property and surrounding area.
I highly recommend the area. As a die-hard beach lover, It’s hard to explain why the waterfalls are so incredibly beautiful. There are many streams in the area and they drop down cliffs into giant swimming pools. You go to the Falls not just because it is beautiful but also an amazing place to swim! This is actually the true splendor of the area. My only complaint would be the bed. I am very picky about my beds and to be fair, from experience at other places, it was about average. I think that bringing in large items like high quality mattresses is very expensive in this remote area.... but if it was possible to replace it would be well worth it!

Beautiful view! Remote location!
This was worth every penny!! The pool was great. House was great. Santiago the caretaker of the house was awesome! Only issue we had was that our neighbors liked to walk around naked.... maybe a privacy question on the booking sheet so that people that prefer the nude have a more private house... other than hay the house was perfect!!!
