Secluded Tropical Escape: Mountain Views & Quick Access to Jaco
Casa Matapalo – An Exclusive Elevated Home in Jacó Beach
Experience total privacy and a unique architectural perspective in the most secluded unit of our family-operated property. Casa Matapalo is an elevated, tropical wood home designed to integrate seamlessly with its surroundings, offering panoramic views of the lush mountains from every space.
The Space: Comfort Meets Tropical Architecture Designed with high ceilings and an open-concept layout to maximize natural ventilation and light, this home offers:
Private Bedroom: Features a Queen-size bed with panoramic views of the gardens and mountains. Includes A/C and floor fan for personalized comfort.
Seamless Living: A fully open-air equipped kitchen and social area that opens directly onto a private balcony with a hammock—ideal for morning coffee while birdwatching.
Modern Amenities: Fast Fiber Optic Wi-Fi (ideal for remote work) and TV.
Refining the Tropical Experience: The bathroom features a fresh-water shower (unheated), which is refreshing and standard for authentic tropical living in our coastal climate.
Location & Exclusive Access While located in a peaceful area away from the hustle of the center, you are only a 5-minute drive from Jacó’s beach, surf breaks, and restaurants.
The Lookout: Guests enjoy access to a private viewpoint just a short walk from the house, offering stunning ocean views—the perfect spot for sunset.
Logistics & Accessibility (Important) To ensure the total privacy and the "treetop" views that define Casa Matapalo, please consider the following:
Arrival: A 4x4 vehicle is recommended to access the property’s private road comfortably.
The Climb: Access to the house involves approximately 70 steps from the parking area. This elevation is what guarantees the unmatched views and seclusion; however, it may not be suitable for guests with mobility concerns.
Nature Immersion: The house is inmersed in a tropical setting. You will likely see iguanas, toucans, and butterflies. We provide mosquito nets for the bed and recommend repellent for the outdoor areas to ensure your comfort.
Why Choose Casa Matapalo? If you are looking for an authentic, high-quality Costa Rican experience—where professional management meets raw natural beauty—this is your spot. Perfect for couples or solo travelers who value peace, architectural character, and a connection with nature without being isolated.
