Casita Jungle Nest is a modern and cozy retreat for couples or close friends seeking comfort, privacy, and a peaceful connection with nature. Set on a hill near the ocean and surrounded by lush jungle, it offers a relaxing stay in one of Costa Rica’s most beautiful regions.
Guests especially appreciate the serene natural setting, the spotless condition of the accommodation, and the comfort of the space. Completed in December 2024, the casita combines modern comfort with handcrafted Costa Rican furniture and Italian taste for details. Large windows bring in natural light and fresh air, while the private terrace is ideal for enjoying jungle views, birdsong, and the tropical breeze.
The property includes 1 bedroom with air conditioning and ceiling fan, a walk-in closet with 24/7 dehumidifier, 1 bathroom, a fully equipped kitchen, washer and dryer, custom handmade cedar furniture, private terrace, and reliable Wi-Fi.
Although immersed in nature, the casita is only 50 meters from the main house, so assistance is always nearby if needed while your privacy remains respected.
Casita Jungle Nest is part of AmartiRica, a 4-hectare property in the tropical forest of the Matapalo Savegre Hills, within a secure gated community. Guests can explore the grounds and walk down to the creek. Wildlife sightings may include birds, butterflies, monkeys, and other tropical species.
The location offers easy access to Playa Linda in less than 5 minutes by car, Dominical in 15 minutes, and attractions such as Manuel Antonio and Nauyaca Falls.
Guests also value the clear directions, smooth arrival process, responsive communication, and local recommendations provided before and during the stay.
Important: due to the hillside location, the gated community road is steep and unpaved, so a 4x4 vehicle is required.
Welcome, dear guest! You are about to experience the wonders of a vibrant tropical forest. A tropical forest is a hot, humid biome where it rains often (hopefully not too much during your stay!). The following rules and suggestions are intended for you to have a beautiful and mindful experience.
1. Bioclimatic Design:
Our home is designed to blend harmoniously with the environment, which means there are many windows—some high up, others near the floor. Please remember to close any windows you open before heading out for exploration.
2. Fans:
While the natural airflow is usually sufficient, the humidity can sometimes be high. To maintain comfort and reduce dampness, please keep the fans on, especially in the bathrooms. If the fans bother you during the day or night, feel free to turn them off, but remember to switch them back on when you leave the house.
3. Dehumidifier:
Your closet also serves as a `dry-room.` Please keep the dehumidifier running at all times to protect your belongings from excess moisture.
4. Air Conditioning:
Typically, the ocean breeze and ceiling fan are sufficient, but if you’re feeling uncomfortable, feel free to use the air conditioning. However, please ensure it’s turned off when you’re not in the house.
5. Food:
Living in the jungle means sharing space with fast and active insects. To minimize their interest in your accommodations, please:
• Keep all surfaces clean and free of food crumbs.
• Store open bags or cans of food in the fridge or sealed bags.
• Use the provided plastic containers for food storage.
6. Lights:
Once night falls, lights can attract insects. To keep them at bay, use lighting mindfully and ensure mosquito screens are closed.
7. Washer and Dryer:
We provide organic and biodegradable soap, as all wastewater is dispersed directly into the forest. Please do not wash or dry shoes, rigid bags, or items with buckles. During the dry season, water is especially precious, so please use it responsibly.
8. Smoking:
Our house is a smoke-free zone. Smoking is allowed only in the garden, and we kindly ask that you dispose of cigarette butts properly.
9. Shoes:
Please, if possible, keep your shoes for outdoor use only and, inside, stay barefoot or wear flip-flops or slippers.
10. Terrace furniture:
Please if you want to move the furniture provided on the terraces, couches and small tables, don`t simply drag it but lift it to avoid scratching the floor thank you.
11. Waste Disposal:
At the entrance of our white road, near the main gate, our community has created a locked area for waste disposal. A key to this lock will be included with your set of keys.
Before checking out, we kindly ask you to bring all your waste to this area (including bathroom waste) if possible, and do so before returning your keys. If you’re unable to take it there, please place all waste in the outside bin.
Important: No waste, especially organic, should be left in the house. Wildlife in the area is very curious, and we want to avoid any unwanted visitors.
Suggestions:
1. Water Conservation:
Although this is a rainforest, the dry season can cause our creeks, or quebradas, to run dry. Water is vital for all living beings, so let us do our part to conserve it whenever possible.
Please don`t wash your car with our water system: in Dominical there is a car-wash that you can contact to reserve your spot. Contact of the car wash can be found in your guest portal, after reservation.
2. Wildlife:
Our jungle is alive with amazing wildlife. Please do not feed the animals. Respect their space, their habits, and their home—just as they respect yours.
We hope these guidelines help you have an unforgettable and harmonious experience in this beautiful natural setting. Thank you for your mindfulness and care!
