Well designed, cozy, comfortable with a fully equipped kitchen. We loved the location, quiet with a good pizza nearby, a grocery store that had everything we needed and it's a walking distance from playa cuevas.

Very positive experience! The houses are immersed in the nature, stunning sunset views and we particularly enjoyed waking up with nature sounds. The room was very clean and with all necessary amenities, also very close to the main Santa Teresa road. Sereen and Sophie have been very available to help and answer any questions we had about pur travel (e.g., best routes to take - advice for travelers, always get a 4by4 car!) Highly recommend The Green House!

I recently had the pleasure of staying at this beautiful vacation home and couldn’t recommend it more. The location is absolutely perfect, just a quick 3-minute drive from the heart of Santa Teresa, so you’re close to the best restaurants and shops, yet far enough to fully enjoy the peacefulness and natural beauty of the jungle. Nestled on a quiet hillside with stunning ocean views, the setting is serene and feels like a private retreat. The house itself is spacious, thoughtfully designed, and ideal for both families and groups of friends. Every detail has been carefully considered, from the layout to the decor, creating a space that’s both functional and stylish. The concierge service was fast, friendly, and incredibly helpful, making our stay seamless from start to finish. We felt well taken care of the entire time. This place truly offers the best of both worlds: close to everything you want, but tucked away just enough to enjoy the magic of the jungle and the views. We can’t wait to come back!

The guest, Gerardo is the best guest you could have. Since he knows everything and everyone in the surrounding, he can guide you for all you need. The house is perfectly located in the forest surrounded by magnificent trees and lots of animals. The small pool is very nice in the hot afternoon and at night. The house everything you need for a long stay and it is well divided and large for a couple. The terrasse at the back is just gorgeous, calm and relaxing. My wife and me worked the whole week via internet and the WiFi is really solid with Starlink.

Wonderful property! A small family business; daughter is an architect and designed everything, father and son constructed it. Mum, who is very nice and welcoming, arranges everything around it. The bungalow was fully equiped with everything you might need, the shower outside is fabulous (see picture for the view)! Comfy bed and very clean! Beautiful pool and garden. They really put an effort in thinking it through and decorated with an eye for detail. It was really a great stay, it made our last two nights in Costa Rica something to remember :-) Highly recommended!

Fantastic vacation home with beautiful and chique design. Very comfortable and spacious in the living areas (inside and outside) with plenty of sitting possibilities. You can tell that the comfortable bedrooms were designed with much intention to details. One of the highlights of the villa is undoubtedly the private infinity pool, which overlooks the ocean and had a breathtaking sunset views. The villa is well-equipped with all amenities that you could need, especially the kitchen. We made use of the BBQ and enjoyed meals outdoor. The staff is very friendly, helpful and professional, making sure that everything is taken care of and ensured that we had a comfortable stay! Daily cleaning service id included which made our stay even more comfortable. We received great recommendations and they even organized us for day trips, private chefs and massages. They really helped make the most out of our holiday! Highly recommended to anyone looking for a peaceful and luxurious holiday. It was truly an incredible experience and would definitely visit again!
