About this house rental
Surrounded by the forest the house is set off the ground and has huge windows to give it spectacular views of the forest canopy and Nicoya Gulf. Big rooms and Queen size beds provide comfort, plus all the essentials and more are provided. The house is large enough for a family but also perfect for a couples romantic get-away. Located close to town but extremely private it is ideal as a base to enjoy all of Monteverdes attractions and is an attraction in itself that provides the peace to rest after a full day of activities.
As mentioned the house is located on a large property, there are other rent houses on the property but out of shouting distance to provide each with privacy. Just up the road from the property there are several restaurants, a couple small supermarkets, art galleries and souvenir shops. Also in the area there are several attractions such as private reserves, a butterfly garden, night tours and others.
The space
The house is located on a 27 acre property which guests can explore as they wish, providing them the opportunity to see lots of the local flora and fauna without having to book a tour or drive anywhere.
Interaction with guests
Our hostess will confirm your reservation, meet you for check in and help with any questions you might have about the house, the area, tour options, dining suggestions on anything else you might need. We will leave you to yourself once checked in but are available at any moment for any questions or help you may need.
Other things to note
As a note the sofa bed lacks privacy because it is located in the living area but not comfort since it has a double bed mattress on it.
This property has a security camera outside, facing the garage.

Above the Gulf was such a gem! Nestled in the forest, overlooking the Gulf of Nicoya, this property offers more than just a place to rest your head. Above the Gulf is outfitted with beautiful wood furniture, spacious bedrooms and bathrooms, and a fantastic wrap-around covered porch for wildlife viewing. The space was clean and well stocked. It is inside a gated community and utilizes outdoor security cameras throughout the property for peace of mind. The in-home washer and dryer came in very handy after our daily adventures. From the porch, we were able to spot local wildlife like toucans and coatis! Above the Gulf is truly a special place and a great home base for all of your cloud forest activities!

Beautiful home with lovely furnishings. Kitchen was well supplied with needed cooking items to make our meals, mostly used for breakfast. Daniella provided excellent tips for markets and restaurants. The location was great for getting to our tours at Curi Cancha and Monteverde Preserve. Loved the deck for enjoying our coffee in the morning while viewing the gulf.
