About this property

Ojochal Home with Pool/Ocean View/Private Jungle Trail & River on 12 acres.

This beautiful 3 bedroom/2.5 Bath home is nestled on the Mountain hillside overlooking Ojochal, with stunning views of the river mouth and the Pacific ocean.

'Estilo de Vida' ('The Style of Life') is available for short-term and long-term rental.

The property offers a private pool with complete privacy due to the secluded nature of the property. The temperature of the pool is a wonderful 86 degrees all year around. Located at an altitude of 700 feet above Sea level the property avoids the problem of pesky mosquitoes. Watch the Howler Monkeys in the trees and humming birds and toucans right from the pool deck. Enjoy a daily visit from our resident Coati!

The 12 acre property includes a private nature trail that leads to a stream and then on to the main river that runs through the property. Enjoy a swim in the river and then head back to the house spotting monkeys and Blue Morpho butterflies along the way.

Each bedroom has a walk-in closet and is air-conditioned. The air conditioners use the latest Inverter technology which causes the unit to slow down as it nears the set temperature. This results in very quiet operation (no condenser kicking in and out) and as it is running constantly it results in very low humidity levels (35 to 40%) which makes you feel cooler. Free High Speed wireless internet is available throughout the house.

The house features a remotely monitored security system that you can activate when you depart the house each day.

Great place for anyone!
Great layout for family and/or friends. Manager was helpful and quick to respond. We loved having our own pool to relax or play in after checking out the local beaches and waterfalls. And wildlife on site:). The house is close to so many things to do or amenities such as restaurants and grocery stores. Uvita has what you need. Dominical is a short drive away for that surf town vibe and great food!

Piece of paradise
Thank you for sharing your piece of paradise with us. The house was just perfect! Beautiful view, perfect elevation up the mountain. Kitchen well stocked for cooking, everything provided for our stay. Very thoughtful to have a beautiful welcome basket full of goodies and beer in the fridge! We had a very relaxing trip, spent most of our time in the pool and at the beach. We hope to stay again. Pura Vida

Jungle Adventure!
This property was incredible. Our family got totally immersed with the jungle staying at this property. The sounds of monkeys waking you up and the jungle coming to life as the sun sets. It was all amazing. Very close proximity to everything! The sloth and monkeys paths were blocked by huge fallen trees and access to the river from the path was impossible because of a landslide. This didn’t stop us though as we saw tons of stuff in the paths still. Didn’t bother us at all! Amazing experience and would totally recommend to any family!

Beautiful Jungle Property with Gorgeous View
Absolutely stunning property. The house has a wonderful layout and the property itself gives complete privacy and an abundance of wildlife and birds. The ocean view is spectacular. The house was very comfortable and had a well appointed kitchen - everything we needed was there. The wifi was great - good enough that we had no trouble on zoom calls. The property itself has a secure gate and the house has a security system. The driveway is on a significant angle but is easy to use. Having said that, at the top there is a very steep drop off to the left that is not marked and not easy to see. The first time we went up (and we thought we were being careful) we almost drove off the driveway. The incline is deep enough that the car would have rolled. Maybe that spot should be marked somehow :) The property was everything the listing said it was and was easy to get to. The pool was beautiful and we used it daily. When we arrived, we did notice the water level was at the level of the pool jets. We emailed the property manager to ask if we should put water into it. He did not respond. (To be clear, the pool was wonderful for our entire stay.) The second day we were there, the water supply to the house was shut off. We did not understand why this happened and we again reached out to the property manager for assistance. We emailed him (replied to the joining email he had sent us) and his assistant and tried to contact him on whatsapp (as directed in the joining email). He did not respond. A few hours later, we sent another email and he did respond - he said he would call the water company. We did not hear from him again. The water was off all day. This wasn't an emergency and we know this is Costa Rica - this is our sixth stay in this area. However, no water supply is an issue and we would have expected at least some communication. The only negative thing we have to say about this stay was the lack of support from the property manager while we were there. Having said that, we would not hesitate to rent this beautiful and comfortable property again.

About the host

Hosted by Michael Jeffrey

Host profile image
We purchased Estilo de Vida in 2006. We have two sons who love going to the Costa Rica house. We tend to go in the rainy season each year or sometimes every two years.

Why they chose this property

We love the remote jungle setting. In the picture my sons explore Playa Tortuga near the house. The property itself is amazing as the lot is 12 acres in size which allows you to completely relax in privacy. We like getting up early in the morning walking the nature trail to the river and back.

What makes this property unique

Beautiful view of the Pacific Coast. Watch White-faced and Howler Monkeys, Toucans, Humming Birds, Wood Peckers, Sloths and other animals and birds in the jungle around the property, and watch them right from the comfort of the pool deck. We have a resident Coati who visits the house every day to see what is going on at Estilo de Vida.
