About this property

Montezuma Heights "Buho" cottage. Into the great wide open. Sleeps 2

"Buho" is a new cottage facing the great wide open ocean, its sound and the immensity of the Pacific horizon. It would embraces you instantly. With a cozy setting, equipped kitchen . The pool is shared. Away from touristic sound. The cottage itself has the common area with the downstairs bed kitchen, table, private bathroom and hot shower in the first floor. In the loft are a second double bed with a couch facing pool and ocean.

The space:
Our house and cottages have been build by us and took a lot of effort and love. We are very ecological oriented. All buildings are build with antic materials and done the way to harm environment less as possible. There almost no mosquitos where we are and any dangerous animals. There is a lot of wildlife, but it takes patience and the eye to find and see them, since they are shy and well camouflaged. We live in a BLUE ZONE and our water is maybe one of the best in the world, so better drink it.

Other things to note;The roads from Montezuma up are steep and for people who are not accustom to hills it can be scary, we advise people if they rent a car to rent a 4x4 (all Costa Rica) Taxis is a great alternative and will cost less. It is 10U$ one way.

About the area

Montezuma

Located in Cóbano, this cottage is by the sea. While the natural beauty of Santa Teresa Beach and Romelia Wildlife Refuge can be enjoyed by anyone, those looking for an activity can check out Los Delfines Golf & Country Club. Scuba diving and snorkeling offer great chances to get out on the surrounding water, or you can seek out an adventure with ecotours and hiking nearby.

Surreal place in Montezuma
Absolutely loved our stay. The host Peter and wife were charming and very helpful. Great advice and anticipated our needs. Santiago the caretaker looks after everything meticulously. The view is breathtaking and during our 15 days enjoyed everything from morning coffee to dinner overlooking the gorgeous view. We were in Buho which is right by the pool. We felt we still had privacy and swam every day or before retiring at night. You are surrounded by the beauty of the forest. I loved the book they prepared to explain highlights of the area. Lovely pictures too! Highly recommend. PURA VIDA!

Sunrise + Serenity
This is a great place to stay. Quiet and an unbeatable view. The cottage itself is rustic and small - but no one comes to Costa Rica to stay inside! Very comfortable to sleep- lots of breeze so no A/C was not an issue. Not bugs either. The views from the covered veranda that is levered out over the cliff is phenomenal. We spent almost every end of day/evening there watching the waves and listening to the howlers. Bring some candles to enhance the ambiance even more. 3km drive into town (if you use the shortcut)but be ready for steep grades and narrow roads. It may be unnerving the first time you do it once but after that it’s easy. As others have said - we had the pool area to ourselves most of the time if we stayed home during the day Take the Tortuga Island trip with Zuma Tours - on a weekday when it is less crowded. Hike the falls. Enjoy the restaurants. And relax. True Costa Rica. Thanks for sharing this slice of heaven with us

Absolutely Amazing Property. STAY!!
What a perfect choice we made to stay in Buho Cottage hosted by Peter and Rocio. From the moment I booked I knew I made the right choice. I am a little high maintenance but they answered any questions I had promptly and they were so helpful! This place has a Billion Dollar View!!! We are up with the first break of sunrise and trust me it is glorious from anywhere you sit outside. The sounds of the birds and the beautiful nature below you just makes you never want to leave. The colors of the different species of birds that fly by is astonishing. They have a sweet heart of maintenance man named Santiago who is very consistent with maintaining the grounds and always helpful when asked. My spanish is not very good at all but he gets it. The cottage itself is so cute and also has an upstairs loft and view point. The bed was very comfy and nice for my back! It has everything you need and I can not over stress enough how I could tell this property was built with love and creativity. The pool just outside was a perfect way to cool down while you are gazing at the panoramic view of the ocean below. As listed this property has a shared space and honestly we had so much privacy and 98% of the time we had the pool area to ourselves. The odd time when we ran into someone it was so nice to meet a fellow traveler and exchange a story or two. The place is very quiet at night and we slept beautifully. The area is very well sexured and we felt so safe we slept with all doors and windows open. We had the opportunity to actually meet Rocio and Peter and now have new friends! Do not hesitate to book this property as in our opinion the best rental with the best breatth taking views in all of Montezuma!

Magical place to stay …
The view from this property is amazing. The distance to town was not bad. The food in the town of Montezuma was wonderful too. Peter was a great host and we had all that we needed. We thoroughly enjoyed the covered patio watching the sun rise in the AM. And we took full advantage of the pool during the heat of the day. We will be back to visit for sure!!!

About the host

Hosted by Peter and Rocio Kahl

Host profile image
We appreciate life and we are grateful to be still around in a healthy way. Nature lovers, peaceful minded, love dogs as much as humans :) and all sentient beings. Play music and love dance. Followers of Buddhism as way of being present in this life. We are a couple made up, beside destiny, by our understanding of diversity. Peter an adventurous and visioner German, who left his country cause in the back of his mind since he was a child had the feeling of living abroad. Came to Costa Rica years ago and immediately, fell in love with the beauty of Costa Rica and with a sensitive Costa Rican woman, Rocio. She a former teacher of the University of Costa Rica, a dancer who has the privilege to achieve her master´s degree at Naropa University, in Boulder, Colorado. Comes from a family of a 'Zarzuela' and Operetta singer, and a well known oil painter. Visitors can enjoy his paintings that give life, color, meaningfulness and pour wonderful energy into this space and time container. Peter and Rocio blessed by the cosmos sculptured day by day a family of a 11 years old daughter and older son. A family, with an artistic eye that allow life to nurture them by being always grateful to the forces that compose their rhythm and drive in this trajectory of beingness.

Why they chose this property

We have chosen to live here, cause the first encounter with this place gave us the sense of such a peacefulness for having the lull of the ocean waves as a front neighbor nurturing our senses. Then, the stars without shyness getting out at night to wave at us. The sun touches carelessly the window with its big red face every morning. Seeing a full moon drawing a sparkly path on the skin of the ocean is like an illusion of reality or reality is an illusion? Come to hear the plays of the ocean and be a witness yourself of such a beautiful nature´sculpture. Researching that ancient Costa Rican indigenous inhabitants used to lived around, we honored them by having different icons that refer directly to their way of living and being. You would find those around.

What makes this property unique

This cliff location with a first line ocean view makes a plus hard to beat, only the frequency of your heart can beat it :) ! when being overtaken by such a gentle nature pulse. Beside, its very cozy and Feng Shui oriented. One has nature and privacy as a companion. The ocean is your closest viewer. It is quiet, safe, secluded, great for relaxation and has internet access. Here the breeze runs naked all year around, that is why the name of the town ('Las Delicias' = Delicious) cause the wind touches and embraces the visitors refreshing ones´ existence. Most of the material we used to give birth to this project were recollected for years ahead, in order to save antique windows, French doors and recycle wood floors and various wood structures. Some of the pieces come from early 1900´s. We worked very hard to restore them to be able to bring them into space again, bringing more Co2 to the planet, instead of letting them being burn or destroy, as originally planned by construction agencies. To round up the gorgeous warmness of the wood, we created spaces with mosaic designs to give a chance of any possible sensitive encounter. Come yourself to see that any photo would be able to do its justice, simple the view of the wide wide open see and the first touch of the horizon would eclipse and capture your senses like a spell drive.To really believe it you got to come here, you will not regret it.
