Amazing stay right on the beach! Joel was a wonderful host. He provided insight on the area, made several dinner reservations for us, and organized a tour to Corcovado with a local company. Highly recommend!

It had been 25 years since we had been to Matapalo. It had hardly changed. Place is so amazing.Also Casa Verde is an amazing house. Joel the care taker of the house stays close by and can help you with anything you need. Make sure you take a short walk and a hike to King Loui waterfall.If you want to fish. We scored big time with Donald with Dos Mas fishing charter. Great captain and bigger boat.I can not say enough about how much we loved staying at Casa Verde. Will definitely be back! Pura Vida...

Remote & wonderful
We had an great stay at this beautiful cottage near Corcovado National Park! The location is stunning, and the adventure begins with the 4x4 road—it’s part of the experience and well worth it. The house is clean, well-equipped, and thoughtfully designed for comfort and convenience.Joel was a fantastic host, even going out of his way to pick up a few items for us from Puerto Jiménez—so appreciated! After a day of exploring, the pool was perfect for a refreshing dip, and the Green Egg BBQ made grilling easy since town is a bit of a trek.The nearby Playa Pan Dulce was a highlight, where we swam daily while watching monkeys swing through the trees. We also spotted Agoutis, Macaws, and even an anteater!Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a wild, beautiful, and peaceful getaway. Thanks, Joel!

Amazing place at the end of the world. The road was very challenging but worth the drive.
This open air home was immaculate! It was perfectly equipped with incredible cookware, fabulous bathrooms and the roar of the sea. We were prepped to keep all food in a convenient lockable pantry so the monkeys would not steal anything. The monkeys tried but we were prepared. The comfortable beds were screened with overhead fans. Perfect!

Slice of Paradise
Casa verde is the perfect jungle house on the beach. Capuchin monkeys and scarlet macaws are your neighbors and you are immersed in the rainforest wildlife. Amazing coffee was provided. I would recommend this home to everyone except i don't want it to be booked up next time i visit! It takes about 30 minutes off the main road in a 4x4 but it is well worth the journey. Incredible home, wish i was still there!

Ein Traum
Die Anfahrt ist sehr beschwerlich und ein SUV muss sein, da das Auto auf der steinigen schon fast felsigen Zufahrt aufsetzt. Die Loction ist wunderschön und näher kann man nicht am Meer wohnen. Sehr viele Tiere auch schon auf dem Weg dahin. Die Betreuung vor Ort war super! Dankeschön an die ganze Familie😀
