We loved our stay at this romantic property near the beautiful Matapalo beach. The house is exactly what we hoped for with panoramic views of the rainforest and the sound of the ocean in the distance. We wanted an adventure vacation with our two boys, so the idea of a Swiss Family Robinson tree house appealed to us. Casa Vida... More

We absolutely LOVED our stay at Casa Vida Verde. We enjoyed the 4-wheel drive road into Cabo Matapalo where the home is located, as we find the challenge of 4-wheeling a fun adventure. (The road definitely gives you the feeling of being off the beaten path!) And we found the home to be absolutely beautiful and very well designed. The... More

We found this spot, on the south coast of the Osa Peninsula, just great for our three-generation family vacation. The small but beautiful swimming pool kept our 7-year-old occupied (sometimes with the caretaker's children) for hours at a time; the late-teens were perhaps most charmed by their surfing lesson on one of three beaches (all within walking distance, but better...

Paradise were the first words out of our mouths. The house is absolutely incredible. You feel like you are right next to nature with all the comforts of home. We saw monkeys in the trees around the house daily, toucans and macaws. It was a short hike to the beach and the trails were great for exploring. Carlos, the caretaker,... More

What a beautiful place! You really feel like you're in a treehouse. The pool isn't big, but it is perfect for cooling off and relaxing. The whole house was spotless with brand new netting on the beds. The caretaker was very nice and spoke perfect English. This is a birdwatcher's paradise. And Monkeys... We saw a dozen howlers and spider... More

My daughter and I just returned from our weeks stay at Casa Vida Verde where we had a relaxing, nature-filled vacation. We have traveled and stayed in houses around the globe and this house rates at the very top! I believe that when one travels, one should experience the ambiance of ones surroundings and not necessarily the amenities that a... More

I was lucky enough to stay at Casa Vida Verde recently with my family and I have to say it was amazing! This house is not for those of you who want a resort stay (ie. indoors with the airconditioner on while you look out the window at the landscape). This place is for those travellers who actually ENJOY traveling... More

Sorry, but I cannot agree with the majority of the reviews here. The house was a disappointment from the way it was presented on their website. "State of the art kitchen"? Not even close. No doors anywhere. Most of the mosquito nettings were either ripped or full of holes, defeating the purpose of the netting. "Washer and Dryer"? Only if... More

We were lucky to be able to stay at Casa Vida Verde during our trip to the Osa this past February. It was one of the most unique and beautiful houses I have ever seen. The master suite is so beautiful and romantic. Every detail of this house is amazing. The beaches near by are secluded, private, and so beautiful.... More
