This beautiful piece of paradise is tucked away in a private gated community, just a short drive from Jacó, Manuel Antonio National Park, crocodile viewing in Tárcoles, and world-class sport fishing! This vacation rental is like no other and is perfect for celebrating honeymoons thanks to the picturesque 360-degree views of the mountains, the ocean, and beautiful sunsets.

From the pool and the rooms inside, you can even observe macaws and monkeys!

La Loma has a re-grown secondary forest and a trail with beautiful trees (including cedar, oak, and ceibo) - it's a wonderful spot for bird-watching, meditation, working out, or just relaxing. You'll also be close to excellent surfing at Jacó Beach, as well as fascinating crocodile boat tours in Tárcoles. Carara National Park is just a few minutes away as well.

Unbelievable Views!
This place is absolutely incredible. The views, the pool, the wildlife! Highly recommend a rental car so you can be mobile since it’s a dirt road trip to get groceries and cook in the fantastic kitchen! Alex is super accommodating and met us late at night to get into the house. We will definitely be staying here again 😎

Secluded Paradise in the Hills above Tarcoles
We ended our trip to Costa Rica at Villa La Loma, and cannot believe our good fortune to have been able to do so. Architecturally stunning, the house sits overlooking the jungle canopy and the expanse of the ocean beyond. The pool feels like an extension of the house and sunsets reflected in the water were incredible. The massive Flame tree framing the pool is apparently part of the territory of several scarlet macaws. Bats, frogs, cicadas, parrots and howlers all made an appearance. Thanks to Alexis who was very patient with us as we had a tricky time locating the property (don't use Goggle Maps!).

Wonderful property. From the morning and evening company of scarlet Macaus to the conversations with the local howler monkey to the daily visit of Iggy the Iguana, all from the majestic pool, our fantastic stay will be a lasting memory.

Pura Vide Paradise
La Villa Loma was one of the bright highlights of our trip. From the musical mornings filled with all sorts of wildlife sounds mixed in the faint sounds of the ocean (which is also within view) to the majestic views in the afternoons and early evenings around the pool, the property is very special. We saw monkeys and macaws daily, enjoyed watching them from afar while they also enjoyed the trees on and surrounding the property. The house is very nice laid out, with air-conditioned sleep area. Would recommend this to anyone looking for a get away from the crowds. Very peaceful and serene.

Nothing but nature in this
Imagine waking up every morning to the not so quiet but absolutely breathtaking calls and sights of not one, but many macaws… that’s pretty much every day, at least 2wice a day in this beautiful home away from home, but so near to one’s heart. Our time at La Loma was unforgettable and absolutely Pura Vida. Getting to the home required a 4x4, just like everywhere else in CR, however, not everyone is as cheerful & genuinely kind as the gate greeter who assured us we were on our way to Mecca 🤩. After following the flawless driving directions, passing many mango trees, cows, ducks, flora, fauna, birds (so many!!!) you’ll find yourself in a special kind of Paradise you’d never want to leave, and why would you? With 360 views of the most beautiful place on Earth, a living set-up that is all about LIVING & LOVING life. Make yourself gourmet breakfast burritos every morning, pair it with the best of beans in a classic CR pour over, and just sit in awe at the beauty that surrounds you. There’s a tree (well, many trees, but this one in particular) that serves as the hangout for a bunch of macaws - every morning & night, you’ll hear them before you see them and once you’ve seen them - Noah’s rainbow has been captured in flight. Alex was very attentive & made sure our time at La Loma was as picture perfect as the surroundings. Oh! And def don’t miss out on the nightlife!!! While smoking a cigar on the patio on our last night, noticed some light flickering in the grass - lightening bugs!!! It was like glitter! Hadn’t seen bugs light up like that, and especially so close to the ground! The only few notes I’d offer/suggest 1) The ducks 🦆, while we loved sharing our time with them, not so much the pool… so a gentle cannonball nudge reminder to get their feathers in a bit of a fluster, they will come back & try again, but you’ll be feather free for a bit. 2) If Covid clearance is a requirement for your return, proving our (hidden home!) residence was a little difficult - use the Hotel Cerro Lodge as a geo point, and then orient yourself from there. Otherwise, if you’re looking for the perfect place to getaway in CR, this is the place for you. Close enough proximity to “all the things”, but perfectly placed in that you never even really have to leave to get full Pura Vida.
