This is a beautiful location surrounded by incredible fauna and flora. It is secluded so it is much more quiet than the center of Puerto Viejo and the beaches are not crowded. It is very close to Playa Negra, only a 3 minute walk. I stayed in Casa Chiquita and it was the perfect size for a solo traveler. Maria was an incredibly gracious host and very accommodating. I did not have a rental car and she was able to recommend a taxi service for a day trip to Cahuita. This made for a very tranquil vacation.

As mentioned in other reviews, there is currently construction next door. The noise didn't bother me and it can't really be helped anyways. However, the workers did catcall me several times during my stay while I walked to and from my cabin. There is also an outdoor shower that you must use to wash off sand before entering your house and I noticed they were watching me as I showered. I did not complain about this during my stay as I never felt unsafe, but it is definitely something to be vigilant of, especially if you're a woman traveling alone.

The property is wonderful and tranquil with a true garden feel, close enough to town but far enough not to notice. The casitas are beautiful with tons of wood throughout and are quite comfortable and private. The hosts are wonderful and very helpful to make sure you have the best possible visit but they don't hover over you, yet are very responsive if you ever need anything! The beach is an easy walk away and there is always wildlife around, a true paradise! (Early risers can hear the local howler monkeys and the waves crashing at 5 AM with morning coffee)

January 2023: A very temporary dislike. A new house was under construction next door, The workers were not that loud, but it was a slight distraction at times. It looked like they were almost finished so this should not prevent anyone from choosing this property.

Great spot, walkable to the beach and a quick trip into PV for nightlife. Easy check in, nice staff!

There's some construction going on next door that starts at sunrise! That can be a little rough on the sleep schedule.

It had everything we needed, even though it was far from luxurious. The Wi-Fi was okay, which is not guaranteed in Puerto Viejo. The hosts were amazing! Made you feel very welcome!

Thin walls, so you definitely need earplugs here. There’s a construction work next to the property, unfortunately they did some loud work during our stay.

A great place to stay. Beautiful garden, a great hostess! A nice outdoor kitchen! Lots of birds, trees, flowers, and even s sloth! We can walk to the beach and to the grocery store.

The walls are very thin so we could hear our very loud neighbor who talked on the phone all night. However, we let the hostess knows and she enforces quiet hours. Do let her know if you hear too much noise. She is super helpful.

this place is peaceful and so close to a beautiful beach! I like that there is a small market just down the road where you can get essentials (and good coffee!) without having to deal with the busy town. my favorite thing though is there’s a little kitty that seems to belong to the property. I loved having her around. she even caught bugs

Hosts were really helpful and gave us some great recommendations. Stayed in Casa Chiqueta which was perfect and had everything we needed.

Unfortunately the construction works next door were very loud from 7.00am - 4.00pm each day. No fault of the establishment, but did impact on the ambiance.

Location was fantastic.. Own garden, lots of wildlife, the hosts Paolo and Romina were brilliant, informative, friendly and very helpful whenever we needed anything.. The beach is only a 5 minute walk away and puerta viejo restaurants and shops a 5 minute drive... A very enjoyable, relaxing stay

Maria was a fantastic host! Even though she couldn't speak English and I have very basic Spanish, she was really patient and used Google translate to make sure we had everything we needed. The room was lovely and right in the jungle! It was really nice to have an outside kitchen which was equipped with everything we needed. A walk / bike ride away from the nicest beach in Puerto Viejo!

The accommodation is a little far from town but we hired bikes from Maria which made it easy to get in and out of Puerto Viejo on the lit well lit roads.

Lovely cabin in a beautiful setting, with excellent facilities.

no soundproofing, so we could hear every word the people next to us said, like they were in the same room and unfortunately their children were restless, so it wasn’t as peaceful as we would have liked.
