Le paradis!
Le paradis ! Tout simplement !! Nous avons passé 3 nuits dans cette petite maison reculée. Tout était parfait: la propreté, la communication, la vue, la piscine et les toucans qui venaient nous rendre visite. Seul petit challenge pour nous : le lit en hauteur et le filet sont un peu dangereux pour un enfant de 3 ans qui "est capable" 😅 Le petit panier de bienvenue dans le frigo a été très apprécié! merci pour tout !
Heaven!
Heaven ! Quite simply !! We spent 3 nights in this remote little house. Everything was perfect: the cleanliness, the communication, the view, the swimming pool and the toucans who came to visit us. Only small challenge for us: the high bed and the net are a little dangerous for a 3-year-old child who "is capable" 😅 The small welcome basket in the fridge was very appreciated! thank you for everything !

Relaxing experience in paradise. We felt like home
Relaxing experience in paradise. Since when we booked the house, Monika and Cornel were so friendly, easy going and communicative, that made the beginning of our trip in Costa Rica amazing. They were in touch constantly, because we also were excited about what was to come and even got us very nice tips and ideas of what to do in our first days, giving us amazing advices about parks, experiences and beaches on the way. Also explaining us clearly where to find good places to do grocery and what we would find around. And this all before arriving! Once there, the place received us with open arms. We felt like home. Expect to find it exactly as amazing as the pictures: the swimming pool as the first relaxation after the drive, the comfortable place with perfect temperature and high cleaning standard also. We had even a welcome basket with nice products! This place is a finding! Not sufficient words in English to describe. We definitely recommend!!!

Expérience magique au milieu de la nature
Expérience magique au milieu de la nature avec une vue dégagée sur la montagne. Isolement, tranquillité et dépaysement assuré. Nous avions un véhicule 2x4 (problème avec le loueur alors que nous avions loué exprès un 4x4 pour venir ici) mais finalement la route n’était pas si compliquée (alors que nous avons eu un peu de pluie chaque jour). Nous avons été agréablement surprise. En saison des pluies cela pourrait être plus compliqué. Dans ce cas, je conseille de suivre les préconisations du propriétaire et de louer un 4x4. Le chemin est facile à trouver. Il suffit de suivre les instructions précises du propriétaire. Celui-ci est réactif n’hésitez pas à le contacter si besoin. La maison est très moderne et extrêmement bien équipée. Piscine très agréable et nettoyée régulièrement. Nous avons vu beaucoup d’oiseaux dont des toucans dans le jardin. En bref nous avons adoré notre séjour et regrettons de ne pas être resté plus longtemps. Notre plus belle adresse au Costa Rica !
Magical experience in the middle of nature
Magical experience in the middle of nature with an unobstructed view of the mountain. Isolation, tranquility and change of scenery guaranteed. We had a 2x4 vehicle (problem with the rental company when we had rented a 4x4 on purpose to come here) but in the end the road was not so complicated (although we had a little rain every day). We were pleasantly surprised. In the rainy season it could be more complicated. In this case, I advise to follow the recommendations of the owner and to rent a 4x4. The path is easy to find. Just follow the owner's specific instructions. He is responsive, do not hesitate to contact him if necessary. The house is very modern and extremely well equipped. Swimming pool very pleasant and cleaned regularly. We saw lots of birds including toucans in the garden. In short we loved our stay and regret not having stayed longer. Our most beautiful address in Costa Rica!

Truly one of the best experiences on Airbnb
Truly one of the best experiences on Airbnb. Amazing house in the middle of lush forest with an ocean and jungle view. We were so happy to live here for a week and just to enjoy privacy and sounds of nature, far from roads and other people. The location is perfect, so many things to do, forest trails, rivers, amazing beaches, mangroves, islands… one week was not enough to visit all of the beautiful places around. It’s super clean inside. Design is very bright and it’s full of natural light inside. Forest views in every window, pure relaxation and joy for the eyes. Everything in this house was made with love to the details, everything is made for relaxation and joy of staying home. From the windows we saw some monkeys, squirrels, toucans etc. All of the windows has mosquito nets and well sealed, it was first house in CR where we had zero bugs inside, amazing. The pool was perfectly clean. A/C is super quiet and powerful. Magical experience that we will never forget, hope to be back soon!

Staying at Cast Away Villa felt like we had our own private retreat in the jungle
Staying at Cast Away Villa felt like we had our own private retreat in the jungle. No cars or neighbors. Awakened each morning by howler monkeys in the hills and greeted by toucans right outside our bedroom window. We had fun watching the white-faced monkeys in the trees at the edge of the property. Cornel and Monika were quickly responsive to our questions and the place was clean and comfortable with exquisite decor! Loved it and would go back again!!

The property is amazing. It truly feels like paradise
We have had a wonderful stay here. The property is amazing. It truly feels like paradise. The amount of care and love that the hosts put into the villa is evident in every detail, from the furniture and dishes to the plants and flowers, as well as the direction of the house to maximize sunlight in the best way possible. The views are spectacular. We really enjoyed our stay. A 4x4 vehicle is a must, though, and you should avoid following the Waze directions to the address. The hosts were very responsive and helpful.

Cast Away Villa is a lovely comfortable house in serene and scenic surroundings
Cast Away Villa is a lovely comfortable house in serene and scenic surroundings and was a the perfect location for my solo retreat. the villa had everything i needed and the hosts were quite thoughtful and offered helpful guidance and support as i made my way to this lovely and remote location. good detailed directions and house instructions. a sweet welcome basket and plenty of kitchen supplies (including good spices!). comfortable bed and quality linens. perfect pool. all around lovely and i would definitely stay again. i didn't venture out much b/c i was there for serene solitude but the area is great and full of adventuring opportunities. i can report that Playa Uvita was stunning, secluded and swimmable and a nearby waterfall was a delight but i know i barely scratched the surface.

I very much enjoyed my stay and Monika and Cornel were great hosts
This really is a lovely and peaceful spot and great value for a new build modern place with a pool, and privacy. Monika and Cornel were super helpful when I arrived in the dark and heavy rain, and couldn't see the key location - but in daylight realized how easy it was. The place is quite compact, but well thought-out spaces and all spotlessly clean and modern and thoughtfully decorated, and with all the necessary items and more - very thoughtful welcome package was super nice and also useful, thank you. The design inside is very modern and obviously designed with thought and wanting to include lots of design features. Lots of windows all around for light - and all looking out to nature and views. No neighbors in sight. A peek-a-boo ocean view through the trees. A washer/dryer was also a very useful item to have with the rain /wet clothes. I very much enjoyed my stay and Monika and Cornel were great hosts, and super friendly and helpful

Tout était vraiment parfait !
Merci Monika et Cornel ! Nous avons vraiment apprécié séjourner dans votre villa.
L’annonce reflétait exactement ce que nous avons eu et même plus ! Très propre, calme, intime, élégant et sécuritaire ! La piscine toujours propre ! Un beau panier nous attendait à notre arrivé, avec le nécessaire pour notre premier petit déjeuner ! L’hôte a décoré avec goût et avait prévu tout les éléments de base afin que l’on passe de très belle vacance ! Tout était à proximité soit supermarché, boulangerie, activités, … Nous avions en bonus des oiseaux de toutes les couleurs dans l’arbre devant la vila ! Castaway est un petit bijou qui mérite d’être découvert, c’est le genre de villa où l’on se sent tout de suite bien ! Je vous recommande fortement de découvrir ce petit coin de paradis !
Everything was perfect!
Thank you Monika and Cornel! We really enjoyed staying at your villa.
The ad reflected exactly what we got and more! Very clean, quiet, intimate, elegant, and safe! The swimming pool is always clean! A beautiful basket was waiting for us when we arrived, with the necessary for our first breakfast! The host decorated with taste and had planned all the basic elements so that we had a very nice holiday! Everything was nearby either supermarket, bakery, activities, … As a bonus, we had birds of all colors in the tree in front of the villa! Castaway is a little gem that deserves to be discovered, it's the kind of villa where you immediately feel good! I strongly recommend that you discover this little corner of paradise!

Cast Away home is absolutely our family’s favorite place to stay in Costa Rica
When you pull up to the gates enter the driveway that is concrete up to a nice flat parking area pool and home is right there not a far distance to haul groceries or beach gear.
The new construction was very well planed with high end doors throughout this home which is soooo nice to keep the jungle out at night or to open up during the day with screens. Absolutely beautiful outdoor dining table poolside which was our breakfasts, lunch, dinner spot. Sunsets and wildlife watching was really nice to see on a daily basis, toucans, parrots, humming birds, monkeys and much much more.
We really enjoyed the location it being not to far off pavement and just a short drive up the hill, no barking dogs, no traffic noise just tropical sounds. Inside Castaway feels like home away from home. Bedrooms are fantastic with a hanging net to hang out on, below was some type of massive bean bag I’ve never seen before and was well used, kitchen was fully stocked, security, great internet, 2 air conditioners came in handy, great lighting, and a really well done bathroom with a 6’ concrete tub full glass window jungle side to watch whatever, lighting storms, wildlife.
Cast Away has a great team of people looking after the home close by which is always a good feeling. We stayed there for two months and have traveled to Costa Rica since 2006 so wanted to share some of the comforts that make things nice, cant wait to book there again in the future.
