Favorite stay

This was my family’s favorite stay in Costa Rica. If we were at the house we were on the back deck. (Beautiful views) Evelyn was the best host. She was quick to answer any questions and give recommendations. Highly recommend staying here if you are in the area. We loved it.

Lovely Chalet With Amazing View Down the Hillside to Monteverde and the Gulf of Nicoya

We were a family of four and throughly enjoyed our three days here. Such a lovely place with everything needed for a comfortable stay. The location is close to town and various sites and activities, but also up the hillside enough to be peaceful and restful. Our host, Evelyn, was so great to deal with. Thank you for such a lovely and comfortable base to explore the Monteverde area.

BEAUTIFUL HOME!

Sunset house 1 is beautiful! It has all the comforts of home and is in a great location! The downtown and adventure tours are very close by. Evelyn is very friendly and extremely helpful with advice about local attractions and culture. The farm tour down the street (milking cows) was very interesting. We would highly recommend staying here. It was a highlight of our trip!!

Beautiful Monteverde home

If you are looking for a place to stay in Monteverde, look no further. This is a beautiful home located near town that offers so much. The house was incredibly clean and offered lots of space for our house. Sitting on the patio looking out on the forest never gets old. Finally, Evelyn the host is highly communicative and offers great local tips. Highly recommended!

Beautiful views

Evelyn was really nice and personable. She brought us cookware when what was there was damaged. The house is beautiful and the view is amazing. We saw rainbows every morning and beautiful sunsets every evening. It is walkable from town but the walk does have some steep hills. There is construction going on Nextdoor but it didn’t disturb us at all.

The Sun House was great! We very much enjoyed our stay. The house is very comfortable, and has amazing views. Evelyn was great and was always available. The location of the house was great as well and is a couple minute drive from Santa Elena. Make sure you try the pizza at Pizzeria Rome...one minute drive from the house!!

Perfect stay

Our multigenerational family of six had a wonderful stay at the Sun House. The home is clean, beautiful, and comfortable with an amazing view. The kitchen is well stocked with essentials and we really appreciated the children’s books and toys. We loved the balcony - we saw many species of birds and heard howler monkeys. Evelyn is a gracious and responsive host who is very knowledgeable about the area. We will definitely be back!

Peaceful, clean, wonderful view

My son and I had a wonderful stay. The house has amazing views from the back porch, with show stopper sunsets. House has a simple, clean feel, with everything needed to be comfortable, and is up above town in a very peaceful setting, but still easy to access the main attractions. Evelyn was very attentive and helped us and answered all our questions. Recommend!

Don’t miss out on this gem!!

I simply cannot say enough good things about The Sunhouse - from the amazing location, to the sweetest host ever, to the beautifully maintained and outfitted home - this is a true gem in the mountains of Monteverde! We were beyond thrilled with our accommodations and I cannot recommend The Sunhouse enough! Evelyn is simply wonderful and so helpful. She helped book our night tour with Roy, a guide with a genuine love and passion for the forest he calls home. My husband declared it his favourite part of the trip. Thank you Evelyn for helping make our family trip one for the ages!

We could not have asked for a better place in Monteverde! Evelyn was amazing to deal with, so gracious and responsive. The property was beautiful and the view was breathtaking. The only think I wished differently was we didn’t see any monkeys but that’s outside of Evelyn’s control ;)

Evelyn was a great host who answered our every question and checked on us periodically. She gave suggestions for drivers and things to see and do. She was very knowledgeable of the area. This house sits on a hill in the country overlooking the town of Santa Elena. Sunsets were beautiful.

A Great Place To Stay

We woke up every morning to Toucans, Parrots, flocks of Parakeet and a plethora of other birds we couldn’t identify. A dream come true for us. The house was better than I imagined and well kept and clean. Evelyn helped us organized two tours, both were top notch. The Sun House is a great place, in an amazing environment headed up by an awesome, readily available host. Don’t hesitate this house is a gem.

Amazing house with spectacular views

We loved our stay at the Tree House. Great house with a well stocked kitchen and comfortable beds. The house water runs on solar power so the showers were nice and hot! The views off the balcony are incredible. Evelyn communicated well before and during our stay and was an amazing host. We were fortunate enough to get to meet her. I highly recommend the Sun House CR and you can even follow on Instagram. Thank you, Evelyn!

About the host

Host profile image
My name is Evelyn. I love to travel! I enjoy mountain biking and hiking. We also enjoy meeting new people and providing the best advice for their trip to Costa Rica. Let me know what you need and I'll make sure you have the best experience ever in Monteverde.

Why they chose this property

This property is unique in all ways you can imagine. It is spacious, it has one of the best views to the Gulf of Nicoya. It is very private, you will have the house for yourself and your group. Finally, you will have the chance to recharge your energy for your next adventure.
Monteverde is an incredible place to enjoy nature. It offers the opportunity to take long hikes, go zip lining or walk the majestic hanging bridges. If you prefer to stay in our home and read a book and enjoy the sunset that is a great plan too. We hope you enjoy the beauty of Monteverde.

What makes this property unique

The benefits of this property is its secluded location and the silence. You might feel like you are living on top of a tree.
