Privacy at this retreat, where indoors meets nature.

Private Costa Rican home with spectacular 360 glass views on a mountain top. 2bed 2bath glass retreat, Casa Moses is where the indoors meets nature. This retreat is located just 10 minute drive outside of Tamarindo in a private nature preserve. This is not a shared property.

It is a quiet and safe oasis. However it is close enough to key points of interest like top rated restaurants, surf spots, golf, tennis and spas. Completed in 2017, this jungle home uses one of a kind architectural components like Guanacaste wood and rock, sitting on three acres of land with the goal of private relaxation. Every room allows for easy star gazing through ceiling to floor glass views and five separate outdoor patios. Property has indigenous fruit trees, flowers and fauna with views all the way to the west coast ocean as well as the jungle canopy and volcanos to the east. Adventure activities such as ziplining and horse riding is located within the nature preserve.

Casa Moses has its own private driveway and the main floor sits 6 ft.off the ground for additional security
The main floor has an open concept living and dining rooms, the front entrance, along with the kitchen and pool/ patio and 18 foot vaulted ceiling. The infinty pool runs the length of the home with multiple entry points.

The 1st floor guest bedroom, patio, closet and bath is 5 steps up from main floor allowing for extra privacy from the main with high ceilings.

Via a floating wood staircase, the second floor contains the master bedroom, ensuite bathroom, private patio, closet and washer/dryer with large vaulted ceiling and custom tile from volcanic rock. The views are outstanding.

All wood features (doors, stairs and cabinets) were custom made in Costa Rica.

Paradise in the treetops!

Breathtaking views of nature with a 360• view! Beautiful home with amenities that made you just relax. Open the glass doors up during the morning for a wind that blows through the house. Wake up early to see and hear the monkeys!! The pool is divine! Don’t let the bugs scare you at all, just sweep them up and move on! We can’t wait to visit this casa again. It is truly home away from home.

Beautiful Home in Amazing Location!

The house is as beautiful as the listing photos show-it was perfect for 2 couples. We enjoyed walking the trails on the property and watching monkeys and other wildlife from both indoors and out thanks to all the windows and terraces. Yes, house gets quite warm for a bit in the late afternoon but that’s worth the views - we just planned pool time accordingly. Lots to do nearby- we went horseback riding at black stallion and Tamarindo is just a short drive for beach, tours, restaurants and shopping. Julie is an excellent host, any maintenance concerns were addressed immediately and the home is clean and really well appointed.

Xmas in Costa Rica

Staying at this property made our stay in Costa Rica special over the holiday season. The house is beautiful as it is functional—everything you need. Our family had the good fortune of being able to experience the howler monkeys in the mornings and late afternoon—what a treat. Julie is an excellent host, has quick communication and is very responsive. And yes –as other reviews have indicated, it is hot with all the windows in the afternoon, and it’s a perfect time to swim in the pool or be at the beach. The views from the home are breathtaking, and the overall experience of staying just outside of Tamarindo was worth it for our family—a short drive into town. Thank you, we will be sure to come back.

Costa Rica Jungle Stay

The home and surroundings were beautiful! Listening to the howler monkeys while enjoying coffee in the mornings was my most relaxing time. I suppose I knew there would be bugs, but there were so many beetles smacking the windows at dark (they seek the light inside), I creeped myself out and couldn't sit on the balcony at night! I could view the starry sky from the huge windows though. The homeowner was very responsive and we had extra assistance from a neighbor. The oven was not working so a good thing I don't cook much while on vacation!

Fantastic place

My friends and I spent 10 days there and we would have stayed more if we could have! You definitely need a Four-wheel drive to access the property. The house is clean and big, the terrasses are really great and the pool a big plus. Being surrounded my nature was fantastic! We had howler monkeys that came and ate the flowers on the tree right in front of us, there was an iguana that was visiting us everyday, chanting birds.. It can get very noisy early morning with the howler monkeys and the birds so if you are a light sleeper, bring earplugs! It does get hot in the house but you have AC in the bedrooms and fans elsewhere. We did get a scorpio in the house so just be careful and close all the windows all the time! The communication with Julie was great. We really loved our stay !

Our stay at Casa Moses Mountain

We enjoyed our stay in Costa Rica. Julie is a great host - responded right away, great communications. Lets start with the good. Location has an amazing jungle view, with birds, iguanas and howler monkeys off in the distance. Bedrooms and bathrooms are really nice, and the bed is very comfortable. A short drive to Tamarindo. Now the not so good. The property is tired. Old towels, old mismatched dishes. There are many dirt roads in Costa Rica, but the road up to the property is steep and rutted and generally quite challenging. I wouldn't want to attempt it in the rainy season. When we got to the property there were Ring cameras in the kitchen and living room. Creepy and invasive. They are easy to disable - you just take the battery out - but really, what were they thinking?

Awesome House & Location

Unfortunately, we were only able to stay the first night of our stay in Costa Rica at this amazing home located in the Black Stallion Eco Park due to the loss of electricity that was not at all the owner's fault. The electric company did not come out to fix the issue with their line until late the second day the home was without power. The home sits literally on top of the canopy and the view is amazing! We heard and saw howler monkeys the first full day we were there. Julie was extremely helpful and responsive to the issue with the electricity and worked very hard to get the problem rectified as quickly as possible. I will say that the roads to the house at the end of the rainy season are not for the faint at heart, but we certainly felt the rough terrain was worth it once we arrived. We only wish we could have stayed longer.

This house is a private resort

My husband and I came to Tamarindo for our honeymoon and stayed 8 days. We loved this house and it made our trip so nice. This house is at the top of the mountain and the view is stunning as you have a grand view in each room. There is so much privacy and comfort here. Make sure you know how to get there in advance as we got lost without our cell service/ gps. Julie is very responsive and great to communicate with. We are hoping to return for a wedding anniversary one year. Definitely recommend for couples for an extremely romantic vacation.

Very modern house and amazing views

Nice house and beautiful views. Ileana and Julie were very responsive. Being in the jungle there were lots of bugs especially now during beetle season. Would have been better if there were screens so we can open doors in the evenings and enjoy the breeze

Lovely home in a lovely location!

I had the opportunity to stay at this beautiful home for 10 nights in February of 2021. The home is absolutely beautiful and the owner was fabulous to work work with in terms of answering questions and making suggestions. The home is completely private, sitting at the apex of a hillside - overlooking the jungle with the Pacific in the far distance - sunsets were spectacular. If you like solitude and quiet (with just the sounds of the jungle), this is the place for you. It's awesome and the owner was incredibly easy to work with and responsive to answering questions. It's a 10!

Gorgeous getaway home

This home is absolutely stunning in a completely private, secure, secluded location only 12 minutes drive to Tamarindo, a laid-back, fun and beautiful beach town. It is a high end private villa nestled in a Costa Rican jungle of treetops, wildlife, and sunrises/sunsets. This is a perfect place to get away from the hustle and bustle of your life and make timeless memories - my 6 year old saw monkeys in the trees at sunrise and was ecstatic to jump in the pool anytime she wanted throughout the day. The pool is a fabulous amenity, complete with pool floats and games at the house. Decor is modern, clean and stylish. One minor consideration is the windows, which are large and offer great natural light, but in the high season when we were there let in a lot of heat and sunlight in the late afternoon. Julie is a welcoming and gracious host; she is very accessible and went above and beyond to provide recommendations about area grocery, bank, beaches, restaurants and even helped us make a reservation at the Black Stallion Ranch before our arrival. It really was a plus to be on the Ranch, which you should research before you go. Alex and Fabio made us feel right at home with a great day of BBQ, ziplining and horseback riding and helping us set up other tour experiences in Costa Rica during our trip. This property won't disappoint for the full Pura Vida experience!
