What a beautiful and relaxing place to stay! And David & Michelle are wonderful. They were helpful in every way. What a privilege it was to get to know them and for them to share their amazing property with us. We so enjoyed the unbeatable views while relaxing in the infinity pool, being entertained by the monkeys, watching the scarlet macaws and toucans fly in & out, the massages that Michelle lined up for us and just the overall peacefulness we felt while being there.

Heaven above Jaco
David and Michelle’s home high on the mountain - overlooking the ocean and mountains - is so breath taking - pictures hardly capture its beauty and tranquility. Both are gracious hosts and you feel as though you are a part of their family from the first hug hello. The house is so beautiful and is graciously appointed with any and everything you need. The pool and outside living area is an oasis - not giving you much reason to leave. But, there are great beaches and tasty food close by so ventures off the mountain are equally rewarding. We also did a local waterfall hike which we loved. Bottom line - this is a rental experience not to be missed. You will fall in love with the home, the owners and the experience. We will be coming back!

We came to Jaco to check out the town as a potential place to live. Little did we know, we would meet such wonderful hotsts, David and Michelle! Their house and accommodations are just wonderful. The beds are super comfy, you have all the necessities if you chose not to leave the property, its truly hard to leave. David and Michelle are worth their weight in gold as far as kindness and information go. We have made friends for life. The view cant be beat, as well as all the forest animals and birds.

This is a beautiful home located on a mountain top overlooking the Pacific Ocean. The view is gorgeous and it has a wonderful infinity pool. While relaxing in the pool or just sitting enjoying the scenery you will see toucans, buzzards, Macaw’s, Cara Cara Eagles and white face capuchin monkeys. It was just so beautiful and relaxing we didn’t want to leave. The hosts Michelle and David were so gracious and helpful with anything we needed. I highly recommend this place. We will definitely return.

Christmas in Jaco
Michelle was proactive with us and helped us so much along the way, and answered our many questions giving advice about things to do, places to eat, massage recommendations, and so much more! David and Michelle’s home was wonderful and so peaceful and just what our busy lives needed, where we had tranquility, a beautiful view, could see wildlife, and so much more. We enjoyed our stay so much and if we ever came again to Costa Rica we would stay there again! They are wonderful hosts and their home does not disappoint. We loved our Christmas in this amazing country.

Incredible views
The property is absolutely gorgeous, the hosts are wonderful. It was a bit difficult to get to and I would highly recommend a 4x4. The views for sure made it worth it. One of our the air conditioners did not work and a repair man was unable to come out, but the hosts did everything in their power to ensure our comfort. Overall a good experience, we would go back to visit for sure.

30th Wedding Anniversary
This was our first time leaving the US and it was the perfect place for us to land to really get away and relax without the stressers that can come with being in unfamiliar territory. The hosts were incredibly helpful and hospitable in every way possible for our first time out! We could not be more grateful for the information and available help that they provided us. The location was fun to get to and the prize was phenomenal! That view from the rooms and pool deck were nothing short of 5+ stars! Michelle and David are a true delight - each of them. In a place so far away from home, we still felt right at home and luxurious at the same time. After 5 days back at our own home we were both wishing we could be back there. We hope to get to stay there again soon and - next time - longer. We were actually hesitant to give our honest rave review because we selfishly want it available to us! Michelle and David were excellent hosts! The space they provided was far beyond our expectations - even with the beautiful photos. They exude the meaning of Pura Vida!

This place is simply amazing!! The pictures do not truly show the breathtaking beauty of this home. We traveled with another couple & we have already discussed a return visit - the home was extremely clean - wifi was not spotty, ac is a plus - everything you needed is available -if not just ask — Michelle/David are more than flexible the road is tricky & definitely recommend a 4x4 - bring sneakers as you can walk the “road” & the views are worth it - Jaco is a laid back town - you dont need fancy clothes- Michelle & David went over & beyond in making our stay one of the most memorable trips ever - they are in the same property but you would NEVER know - michelle does have info on a taxi service, private chef, masseuse - which we personally used - if you are looking to do nothing but relax & take a break from real life - this is the place to be - out of 8 days - we left once & that is because we needed groceries — i highly recommend staying here - you will not be disappointed - five star +++++++ rating from the 4 of us..

Paradise in the Jungle
Michelle and David thank you so much for one of the best times in our lives. Your home has the perfect name and is beautifully decorated with attention to detail and clean inside and out with lushly landscaped grounds. Although we did have a few issues with several of the amenities during our visit, the hosts addressed them and made us feel a sense of calmness, love and privacy. We really enjoyed our day trip to the National Park @ Manuel Antonio with our guide Frank. The beach at Hermosa is perfect for for catching the surfers and doing some body boarding. One of our highlights was personal Chef Emerson who prepared a delicious traditional Costa Rican dinner for us. Much gratitude for sharing your beautiful piece of paradise. We will be back for some more Pura Vida!

Cannot say enough about this property as it has a fantastic view of the ocean and forest.

My friend and I came for a week of enjoying nature, both the sights during the day and the stars at nights. The experience was nothing less than outstanding. I liked it so much I booked a 2.5 week stay in March of 2024. A special message to anyone interested in astronomy. This location is great. Located at the top of the cerro fresco mountain at 1200 ft and about 4 miles as the crow flies to the ocean. Most nights were clear at sunset, and if cloudy, the skies cleared by midnight. Got some of my best photos ever with my digital telescope. David and Michelle are absolutely lovely hosts and went above and beyond to insure we have a great time. Staying here will be a wonderful experience for you. I guarantee it.

We were initially concerned about privacy with the owners living onsite. First, they are 2 of the nicest most welcoming people I have ever met in my life. They gave us total privacy. I actually regret not making time for a glass of wine or cocktail with them in the evening. Next time! (We booked 2 weeks next year!). The pool and view cannot be beat. This setup was perfect for us!

What an amazing stay we had @ Pedazo De Cielo. From the gracious, welcoming hosts( David and Michelle ),to the amazing property with spectacular views, it was nothing short of perfect. They greeted us with a smile in heavy rain and helped us with our luggage:) David and Michelle go above and beyond taking care of their guests. We thoroughly enjoyed our evening conversation at their front porch around sunset. House is gorgeous and pictures do not do justice. Every morning we sat and had our tea & watched the monkeys swing through the trees eating dates! The toucans were everywhere! So the Red Mcaws!!! The drive from the airport was easy, the road up the mountain to the house dirt and rocky but added an element of fun to it. Great location near beautiful beaches, good restaurants, Manuel Antonio, and more!! Michelle even helped us arranging an amazing dinner cooked by personal chef and owner of @zonakatelier @keniasalaschef .The food was so delicious that we still have taste in our mouths. Hands down they have been the best hosts ever, can’t wait to return! Thank you to David and Michelle for opening up your paradise to allow others to experience the beauty and oasis in Jaco.

Five Star Mountain Paradise
We were a group of four consisting of two couples. All of us had an amazing time. The view is unbelievably beautiful, and the pool area and outdoor seating areas were outstanding. Michelle and David are very kind and gracious hosts. We saw some very cool wildlife including the big group of monkeys that all hang out on one tree in the mornings. The one thing that I would caution is that the road up the mountain can be a challenge to navigate, particularly during or right after rain (and at night). We had a four-wheel drive vehicle so while it was a bumpy ride, we were able to make it up and down several times throughout our stay. I personally would not want to try that in a sedan, though I am sure some people do without any significant issues. I truly hope that we are able to stay there again in the future to enjoy the pura vida!
