About this property

Comfortable family cabin surrounded by jungle, perfect for relaxing and enjoying nature. Built the traditional way with local hardwoods the cabin offers views in all directions from the open air living and dining areas. Downstairs there's a fully equipped kitchen, open porch area, and outside bath room. Upstairs queen bedroom and adjoining family bedroom with 3 single beds, hot water shower and full bathroom.
We also have a second cabin on the same property (sleeps 5) that can be booked together for larger groups. Both cabins are independent from each other, each with own garden and beach access and totally private. Look up Los Caracoles guest house
The large garden is great for children, with a small tree house and barbecue area. Monkeys, iguanas, anteaters and armadillos have all been seen on the property.
Swimming is safe at high tide, but sea floor rocky so swim shoes advisable. Kayak use free, bikes available for rent. Easy access to beaches and waterfalls of Montezuma.
Costa Rican green (rainy) season is from May to November, with May and September being peak rainy times. If you book in rainy season, be prepared for dramatic thunderstorms and heavy rains, mostly at night. On the up side everywhere is wonderfully lush and green.

Rustic beach living

We really enjoyed our time at this funky beach house. If you are ok with rustic living you will have a great time at this location We picked up fresh fish from the fisherman two doors down and it was delicious. We went to the national park down the road for a jungle hike and saw the howler monkeys Visited some local vendors for hot chocolate and local beer. We had a great time. Thank you Fiona!!

Montezuma beach switcharoo

We were not able to stay in the main house that we originally booked but were offered the guest house adjacent. It was perfect. Very rustic and close to the beach. Felt like staying in a tree house but with all the amenities. We really enjoyed our stay.

Very peaceful

Jenny greeted us warmly and explained the property. Even with so many things to do in the area we decided to spend an entire day just enjoying the peacefulness of the house and property. Paradise. We had a group of howler monkeys spend the morning clambering through the trees around the house. Just loved the whole experience.

Phenomenal

This beach home is everything one dreams of . Fiona has brought in a night watchman , cameras and lights to light up the dark areas , we felt totally safe and secure. The fresh seafood next door is superb and the friendliest folks . Cabo Blanco is well worth the jungle hike which brings you to the sea, have a swim , bring a lunch and head back. But honestly one doesnt need to do anything but relax on the outside open patio . The wifi was powerful and much appreciated. We were pleasantly surprised by no mosquitoes. The white faced capuchins and mono congos were quite amusing.

ROBBED AT GUN AND KNIFE POINT - NOT A JOKE

My husband and I were the victims of a home invasion and assault. We were on the patio about 8:45 PM when 2 masked men, one with a gun to my husband's head and one with a 7" blade hunting knife at my back ordered us to lay down on the kitchen floor. They ordered my husband (who speaks some Spanish) at gun point to give them all of our money, they took our phones, rental car keys, and miscellaneous gear. They ended up binding my husbands wrists and ankles together and left us with the threat that they would be back if we told anyone. I could go on about the trauma but there's no need, the stars about cleanliness, processes, etc. don't mean anything please believe that this property is NOT SAFE in its current state. DO NOT stay here until the owner has installed a fence, gate, security lights, and cameras. I would ask for proof of these changes. Do not stay in this area, in any house that doesn't have these security measures.

Hard to find oasis

Our group of 5 arrived a little after 9PM (and well after dark) after taking the 6 PM ferry at Puntarenas. Thankfully, we had been to Montezuma previously three years ago. Negotiating the roads at night, however, was quite a difference. Among our group were two first-timers to Cost Rica, who were incredulous that we found Los Caracoles in he dark. My advice is to go slow, keep plodding along and heed Fiona's directions. Finding the long bridge definitely helped. I think it is the third bridge from Montezuma. The house and property were perfect! When at the house and not sleeping, we spent most of our time around the outdoor kitchen table or in the hammocks and chairs on the patio. The outdoor separate bathroom was a definite plus. Most times, the ambient temperature shower was all that was needed and if you wanted a hot shower that was available in the upstairs bathroom. A word of caution - there is a 3-4 inch step down going into the upstairs bathroom and bedroom, easily negotiated once you remember it's there. The flow of the kitchen/outdoor dining room/outdoor patio fit the lifestyle of our group perfectly. If I am allowed to nitpick, The kitchen was equipped with the necessities, but could have benefitted from more pots and skillets and a microwave oven. That said we cooked most of our breakfasts and dinners "home" and during the day when we were exploring ate lunch at the local sodas. The Isla Restaurante and Habitat were wonderful, especially the fish tacos at the latter. We wanted to try the Coyote (especially the pizza) where Jenni is the owner (also the property manager and very helpful) , but our schedules did not mesh. Would not recommend the pizza from the restaurant (Vegan Resort?) across from the Coyote but the ambiance was nice and the beer was cold (Jenni's place was closed.) Fresh(!) fish is available at the end of the road on which the Isla Restaurante is located . A wide variety of fish mahi mahi, snapper, etc. as well as shrimp and lobster can be purchased at fair prices. This is also the best spot from which to walk to Cemetery Island during low tide. We didn't try the fisherman two doors down mentioned in previous reviews. That said, you won't go wrong with the fish monger at the end of the road where the bakery and Isla are located. The bakery? Excellent baguettes, desserts, and cinnamon rolls. Check their hours as we missed them several times, but when we did we were happy. We shopped at

And sadly, you have to go...

We just left Fiona's beautiful house. The place is not as on the announcement. It is pretty much better! The house is clean, gorgeous, confortable and well equipped, surrounded by nice tropical garden. We met squirrels, monkeys and many many birds. The garden ends at the beach, very cool to have a walk when tide is low and perfect to swim when up. You are close from restaurants and places to buy essential food. Thank you Fiona for letting us have the chance to stay in your house.

Relaxing Family Time

We had a wonderful stay at Los Caracoles. We enjoyed the open feel of the home, and spent most of our time relaxing outside , walking along the beach and using the kayaks that are provided. Our highlights were kayaking to the cemetery island, watching the crabs, and looking for the nicest shells on the beach. The house is unique, very well kept, and the kitchen has everything needed to be self sufficient. We were travelling without a car and with our 6 year old daughter, which meant biking to Cabuya village for groceries was part of our enjoyment. The care taker Giovani and cleaner Jenny were both friendly and checked in to make sure we had everything we needed. We would definitely stay again.

Loved it

We stayed at Los Caracoles for 11 days and have nothing but praise. Loved the rustic quality of the house and property, the location on the quiet rocky beach, and the town of Cabuya. We were visited a number times by families of white faced monkeys, and scarlet macaws flew overhead. Shout out to our neighbour the fisherman, from whom we bought some of the best seafood we've tasted; to the bakery in Cabuya for amazing chocolate cake and torte; and to El Castañito, a lovely local soda. We walked the long trail in Cabo Blanco park at the end of the rainy season, there we saw enormous trees, howler and white faced monkeys, families of coatis, capybara, wild forest turkey, deer, iguanas, butterflies, and many birds. We took the mountain road to Malpais/Santa Teresa and being the end of the rainy season it was quite an adventure. Do not even think about it without a 4x4 and off road experience. The road back to Cabuya through the “doghouse shortcut” was almost as bad if not worse. Be careful with these mountain roads, do not trust Google drive or Waze. The whole area from Montezuma to Cabo Blanco was lovely, no trouble finding beautiful deserted beaches. Loved this place and it would be a dream to return.

Jungle experience

We really enjoyed our stay in Fiona’s house. The house has a large outdoor patio and the beds upstairs were comfortable. The beach was really great when the tide was high, - very child friendly and our kids spent most of the day in the awesome swing on the beach and playing with the hords of hermit crabs that are everywhere. The garden was often visited by howler monkeys and capuchin monkeys - we saw more wild life here than in the national park close by.
