THE HOUSE

Off-grid, solar powered, this handcrafted, unique home is a private resort cradled by nature. It is one of the most remarkable homes in Matapalo, if not the whole of Costa Rica.

With continuous rainforest connecting to the famous Corcovado National Park, the wildlife viewing is unrivalled with monkeys and macaws daily visitors.

Pura Vida!

At dawn, dive into the day with our deep tropical pool.  Unwind at sunset with a tranquil float and witness the jungle settling in for the night.

Nature lovers will appreciate the very special design of this house with its abundant suite of amenities ably handled by the onsite manager who will guide you on your adventure.

This extraordinary off-grid eco-villa sleeps a maximum of 12 and is open plan with only walls where necessary to provide privacy and is playfully designed to be at home in the jungle.

The main platform comprises the kitchen, dining area, living room and two ensuite bedrooms, the Junior Suite and the Family Suite. The upper level comprises the Master Suite with a walk out to a private platform open to the stars and an ensuite shower room. The Canopy Suite offers a further bedroom and large deck at monkey eye level with an ensuite two shower room.

In the garden enjoy your very own private waterpark with 3 connected swimming pools including a deep pool with a springboard, a slide and waterfall, a shallow lounging deck, a swim up bar party pool and finally 2 smaller dipping pools with sun-deck barbecue and hammock area.

Rounding up the relaxation areas are a shaded games area and a rancho with hanging chairs and hammock.  Finally, up behind the house, in the primary forest, there is a private yoga deck with a view over to the ocean.

Choose your favorite corner and catch up with a good book, interrupted only by the world of monkeys, macaws and butterflies.. Learn More

Cabo Matapalo, Costa Rica

Matapalo is a small but unique beach community with a couple of hotels and bars but no grocery stores. If you are catering for yourself, be sure to stock up in Puerto Jimenez although taxi grocery runs can be arranged. After a 40 min adventurous 4WD drive from the regional airport, you will have arrived in jungle paradise, where the ocean meets the forest, the house cradled by nature and seeing Toucans, Blue Morpho Butterflies, Scarlet Macaws and Monkeys a daily occurrence.


Paradise were the first words out of our mouths. The house is absolutely incredible. You feel like you are right next to nature with all the comforts of home. We saw monkeys in the trees around the house daily, toucans and macaws. It was a short hike to the beach and the trails were great for exploring. Carlos, the caretaker, was very friendly and helpful. It is definitely a bit of work to get there, but definitely worth it. I would recommend a massage by the pool from Sianne, Carlos’s ex-wife – it was a treat. It was hard to leave after only a week. We will be back.

From the moment we pulled up to Casa Vida Verde, we felt as though we had found absolute paradise! The house is unbelievably gorgeous and well maintained. The beds are very comfortable and are made up with top-quality linens. The furniture throughout the house is beautiful and unique and has been hand-crafted …Take care to check out the dining room table which has been built from a single tree and curves along with the contours of the tree and whose base has been crafted from a piece of the trunk, cut lengthwise into three pieces so that it maintains the curvature of the tree – unbelievable craftsmanship!

My overall rating for my stay at Casa Vida Verde is exceptional!! Everything was exactly as advertised and expected, if not more than expected. Therefore the listing description is spot on regarding the location, layout, amenities and everything else. I would highly recommend this area and this property to others.

What a beautiful place! You really feel like you’re in a treehouse. The pool isn’t big, but it is perfect for cooling off and relaxing. …This is a birdwatcher’s paradise. And Monkeys… We saw a dozen howlers and spider monkeys – from the deck!

We very much enjoyed the caretakers, Carlos and Sianne. They were fabulous and couldn’t do enough for us. it was very interesting discussing astronomy and other topics with Carlos.  Sianne is a great massage therapist and we had awesome massages. Very worthwhile!
