Great location!

This is a great place to stay if you want to be close to the action in Monteverde. We booked it in order to be close to Selvatura park for zip lining. It has a great view and Evelyn was very communicative and made sure our stay was as comfortable as possible. The kids loved waking to the howler monkeys in the morning and watching all of the hummingbirds on the property. Highly recommended!

The house was incredibly clean and offered lots of space for our house. Sitting on the patio looking out on the forest never gets old. Finally, Evelyn the host is highly communicative and offers great local tips. Highly recommended!

Beautiful views

Evelyn was really nice and personable. She brought us cookware when what was there was damaged. The house is beautiful and the view is amazing. We saw rainbows every morning and beautiful sunsets every evening. It is walkable from town but the walk does have some steep hills. There is construction going on Nextdoor but it didn’t disturb us at all.

BEAUTIFUL HOME!

Sunset house 1 is beautiful! It has all the comforts of home and is in a great location! The downtown and adventure tours are very close by. Evelyn is very friendly and extremely helpful with advice about local attractions and culture. The farm tour down the street (milking cows) was very interesting. We would highly recommend staying here. It was a highlight of our trip!!

Lovely Chalet With Amazing View Down the Hillside to Monteverde and the Gulf of Nicoya

We were a family of four and throughly enjoyed our three days here. Such a lovely place with everything needed for a comfortable stay. The location is close to town and various sites and activities, but also up the hillside enough to be peaceful and restful. Our host, Evelyn, was so great to deal with. Thank you for such a lovely and comfortable base to explore the Monteverde area.

Don’t miss out on this gem!!

I simply cannot say enough good things about The Sunhouse - from the amazing location, to the sweetest host ever, to the beautifully maintained and outfitted home - this is a true gem in the mountains of Monteverde! We were beyond thrilled with our accommodations and I cannot recommend The Sunhouse enough! Evelyn is simply wonderful and so helpful. She helped book our night tour with Roy, a guide with a genuine love and passion for the forest he calls home. My husband declared it his favourite part of the trip. Thank you Evelyn for helping make our family trip one for the ages!

The location of the house was great as well and is a couple minute drive from Santa Elena. Make sure you try the pizza at Pizzeria Rome...one minute drive from the house!!

Perfect stay

Our multigenerational family of six had a wonderful stay at the Sun House. The home is clean, beautiful, and comfortable with an amazing view. The kitchen is well stocked with essentials and we really appreciated the children’s books and toys. We loved the balcony - we saw many species of birds and heard howler monkeys. Evelyn is a gracious and responsive host who is very knowledgeable about the area. We will definitely be back!

Peaceful, clean, wonderful view

My son and I had a wonderful stay. The house has amazing views from the back porch, with show stopper sunsets. House has a simple, clean feel, with everything needed to be comfortable, and is up above town in a very peaceful setting, but still easy to access the main attractions. Evelyn was very attentive and helped us and answered all our questions. Recommend!

The Sun House was immaculate, well supplied, comfortable and convenient to the town of Monteverde. The view was awesome. Looking out to the Necoya Peninsula & the Gulf was amazing as was the lovely evening view looking over the town of Monteverde. The peaceful setting with an cocktail on the deck was welcome after adventurous days of trekking in the nearby forests. Our host was on top of everything. We will definitely return to this house on our return to CR. It has everything.

We woke up every morning to Toucans, Parrots, flocks of Parakeet and a plethora of other birds we couldn’t identify. A dream come true for us. The house was better than I imagined and well kept and clean. Evelyn helped us organized two tours, both were top notch.
