Beach villa w/fiber optic internet- Steps to beach with garden full of wildlife!

This home is a nature lovers paradise! It is nestled in a beautiful garden full of flowers and fruit trees AND is only 200 yards from the warm waters of the Caribbean. The yard is so full of wildlife that you will see more animals, birds, and reptiles than you will in the Cahuita National Park. Come meet our wild frequent visitor, Bruna, a wild sloth that spends most her time in our yard. On almost any given day, you will see or hear toucans, iguanas, exotic butterflies, sloths, parrots, howler monkeys, agoutis, or tropical frogs. This home is very unique in Cahuita. No other home in our town will allow you such a personal relationship with nature.

This home provides you the opportunity to immerse yourself in the real Costa Rica without sacrificing any modern conveniences. You will have a full sized kitchen with quality brand name appliances, wifi internet, a safe for your laptop and other valuables, an on demand tankless hot water, and an American purification system for drinking water.

If you choose to leave this Garden of Eden, within a 5 minute walk from the house you can – take a surf lesson, go horseback riding, snorkel, savor the delicious local cuisine of the Paradise Restaurant or enjoy the calming vibes at Reggae Bar.

Downtown Cahuita is a mere 15 minute walk away – just far enough to ensure your tranquility yet not so far that you will need a car. There you will find a mix of wonderful restaurants, shops, bars and tour agencies to cater to your individual needs.

And don’t forget the Cahuita National Park. There you can play on the beach, kayak or simply admire the acrobatic skills of monkeys as you walk through the jungle.

If comparing listings, may I suggest a few questions you ask the owners prior to making a decision:

1) Will I have to cross a highway from your home to reach the beach?

2) From your home, is the nearest access to the ocean made of sand or huge old coral formations?

3) Do you have a purification system for drinking water? Don't lose precious vacation time due to stomach illness.

4) Can I flush toilet paper down the toilet or will I have place it in a waste bin next to the toilet?

I am happy to help!!!

Enjoyable trip
Troy was an amazing host. The cabin was an off the beaten path but still close enough to everything you would need. There is tons of wildlife near, we got to see monkeys, frogs, sloths, agoutis, and toucans. Inside the cabin was really nice and it had all the items we needed for a great trip. The beach was a short distance away. The food was amazing in Cahuita!! We loved the area. Would definitely visit again.

Wildlife Oasis near Beach
We loved our stay here. The location is incredible within a very short walk to Playa Negra and easy walk into Cahuita town and the National Park. The house had everything we needed for a comfortable stay including great shower, drinking water, and fast internet. We loved hanging out on the porches watching and listening to the wildlife - from the yard we saw numerous bird species including vultures, toucans, rales, kiskadees, hummingbirds, and saw sloths, howler monkeys, iguanas, poison dart frogs, tree frogs, agoutis and bats! We loved being woken up by the howler monkeys. We spent our days walking the beaches and wildlife viewing at the park and in the backyard. The house is a bit on the rustic side which we found charming but may not be ideal for someone who doesn't want to see the odd lizard or bug inside - our family didn't mind at all. The house is nicer in person than the photos suggest and we miss it already. Troy was the most amazing host - excellent at communicating and ready to answer any questions. Don't hesitate to book this place if you want a comfortable, safe place to stay close to everything surrounded by wildlife and with a super host.

I can't say enough wonderful things about our experience at Troys place and Cahuita! It is BEAUTIFUL, clean, convenient, relaxing, and welcoming spot! We loved everything about it and are excited to get back as soon as we can. Troy was a fantastic host who went out of his way to make sure we made it there safe, sound and that we were happy and not inconvenienced in any way. We'll see Troys place again and Cahuita again soon! Pura Vida!

Amazing experience!
We had such a great time! Troy is a spectacular host! He was waiting for us upon check-in, and had everything ready for us upon arrival. Absolutely breathtaking property, with so much peace and nature on the front porch. Just a few steps to the beautiful Playa Negra, and restaurants in town. No matter the question, Troy was a phone call or text away to answer. All of the comforts that are needed in Costa Rica are available in this property. I highly recommend it!! We had never made a trip like this before, so we were not sure what to expect... but it was amazing all the way around! Thanks so much for a great getaway! Also, Hugo was a fantastic driver to get us from airport to Playa Negra.

Gorgeous location, amazing host! 5++Stars!
The property is exactly as described and more - tons of wildlife, gorgeous garden, and an easy walk to the beach or into town for dinner. Troy was more than helpful with suggestions for hikes, food, and tour contacts - if I could give him 6-stars as a host, I would! The house is a lovely beach house with everything you need for a relaxing stay. I would love to come back with a group of friends to explore the area more. Just in the gardens we saw an amazing variety of frogs, Agouti, monkeys, birds, and insects. Our favorite activity in the area turned out to be enjoying a beverage on the upstairs porch and just watching the wildlife! We hiked the beach trail at the park and nearby waterfalls at Troy's suggestion, the waterfalls were gorgeous and secluded. For food in the area we really enjoyed the Cahuitas Taste Caribbean Soul Food restaurant and fanstastic sushi at Sobre las Olas by Gondwana (on the beach). The restaurants closest to the property also serve drinks on the beach, the Toucan makes some fantastic cocktails! You can tell the owner takes a LOT of pride in giving guests a wonderful experience, we would love to come back to explore more!

What an adventure!
Here you will see nature and lots of it. We loved the thrills of just sitting on the porch or deck and waiting for whatever was next. Climbing sloths, Howling monkeys, Foraging agoutis, Stealthy iguanas, Poisonous dart frogs, Clamoring Toucans, Laughing falcons, Leaping lizards, and so many amazing bugs and plants. I think it's safe to say the whole family had a transformative experience. Troy is a great host and super accomidating.

We loved our safe little casita. We saw so much wildlife from our front porches, more than in the national park and our night jungle tour. Troy helped us find off the beaten path treasures and guided us to a lively time. We would 100% go back here. We walked to dinners and the beaches.

Great ecotourist location
We stayed here for 6 days during our spring break and loved the chill Caribbean side of Costa Rica. Troy was a fantastic host who was very helpful and also respectful of not intruding. The house and yard were amazing with all sorts of wildlife seen right from the porch. The whole town is walking distance and an amazing beach only a block away. We would stay here again if we come back.

Laid back and Rainforest. We are thankful.
Once we arrived, we enjoyed how laid back we could be and away from the touristy part of Costa Rica (Pacific side). There's plenty to do on this side (Caribbean side), if someone wants to be active. We mostly wanted nature and appreciated the more modern conveniences offered by Troy, especially the water filter. The lagoon is very cool, and the National Forest is worth a few days. The people Troy recommended were awesome, especially Hugo (driver from and to the airport). Troy was excellent with communication. The trip was worth every penny. To improve: we moved the downstairs fan to upstairs so we had two fans at night, but a ceiling fan would be a great addition. It would also be great to have access to two bikes instead of having to rent them. But Troy's price is very fair and the experience worth the five stars; we only offer the above as suggestions, not complaints. Save some money for a special visit to Restaurante Pizzeria Cahuita. The owner served us and is from Naples and Venice = great mixture of authentic Italian food and local ingredients. Wine suggestion was excellent. Otherwise, eat at a Soda or stop at a grocery store before entering Cahuita and cook in your home. Oh - Aroma is another great place. Avoid if very busy. Visit Jaguar Rehab Center, if possible. We felt safe here, and we thank Troy and his associates.

Troy's Place was everything we could ask for. The property was beautiful & serene. We could hear the ocean & wildlife while sitting on the porch.
