Found my Zen

We loved our stay here. The house was exactly as shown. We enjoyed being greeted by the Howler monkeys in the mornings, and also all the birds we saw frequently around the property. The yard was beautiful, and well taken care of. Also loved all the drift wood, and shell art work that was there to enjoy. The Adirondack chairs, and hammock rounded out the ambience of the yard and beach view made the whole experience amazing! I could have been happy never leaving the VRBO.

A comfortable home in a beautiful place.

We really enjoyed our two weeks in Cabuya. Check-in was a breeze, and Jenny, the property manager was great. She gave us a very thorough orientation to the house when we arrived, and was always available to answer questions, etc. The house was spacious, with wonderful views of the ocean, and well equipped with every thing we needed. Watching the monkeys scamper around the trees while drinking out morning coffee was a special treat. We will definitely return.

I felt at home! Neil's house is beautiful, very cozy, you will not need anything when staying in it !!! We couldn't bathe in the sea, there was a lot of stone, floating tree trunks and a lot of garbage. It would be nice if the house had a pool, there isn't much to have fun in the area so a pool would be nice.

Beach hideaway

This area of Costa Rica is a hidden gem. I don’t want to tell you how wonderful it is because I would love for it to stay that way! Staying in Cabuya/Montezuma was an adventure. Montezuma and Santa Teresa are close by. We enjoyed the area restaurants and beaches. If you want to be off the grid, this is the place for you. The house was clea, has everything you need and the beds were comfy! The upstairs is more of a loft area with a tv area, so there is not a closed door. It was just fine for us. At low tide you can walk down the beach a good ways and there are surf spots nearby. Would definitely rent again!

My Version of Utopia

I could not have been more pleased! The location was just what I was hoping for... Beachfront, big trees with howler monkeys, along a neat road with a little soda right around the corner. The house was within walking distance to the cemetery island, and the best part: white faced cupuchin monkeys down the beach, away from everyone. Inside, the house had something very unique... Excellent AC with three split units. It was a wonderfully designed interior, and the beds were supremely comfortable, down to the pillows. I also loved swimming in the rain right there at the house. If I had known how perfect this place was, I would have booked more time. Thank you so much!

Slice of heaven

This property was perfect for our family to enjoy Cabuya and Montezuma for week! The front yard view can’t be beat. Waking up and walking to the hammock to watch the sunrise was a highlight and a beautiful way to start each day. I was very happy with the flexible and responsive communication I had with Neil upon booking and leading up to our stay. When we arrived in Cabuya, we connected with the house manager Jenny who was so helpful and told us everything we needed to know about the house. The house is well appointed with everything we needed to cook. Beds were comfy. There were plenty of towels and the washer and dryer was a huge plus so we could pack light. A highlight of our trip was booking a tour to tortuga and getting some fishing in with 2 local fishermen who Jenny connected us with. Cabuya is a great little town and I highly recommend this home if you’re coming to the area!

Restful stay in Cabuya

Neil’s place is a great place to stay. The waterfront is gorgeous and great for swimming during high tide. Very calm water. Should have water shoes since it is rocky, small rocks. The house is very well air conditioned and spacious. Kitchen is well stocked with any utensil or pan you may need. Ice cube maker in large fridge was a God send. Make some cubes and store in the ice bucket in the freezer because the cube making takes some time. Also appreciated the filtered water from the fridge. Comfortable extra large beds and much appreciated having two bathrooms. The best thing was the washer/dryer. After having travelled for quite a few days it was wonderful to do an actual laundry wash, not just a sink rinse. Location is convenient. Quiet and enough isolated for privacy but easy walk into the village or to Cemetery Island. The island is an interesting site to walk to during low tide. Road into Cabuya from Montezuma is a dirt road but in pretty good shape. We were there during dry season so not sure what it would be like in rainy months. Would highly recommend for a family or two couples.

Hidden paradise!

Our stay in Cabuya was exactly as we hoped! We wanted an out of the way, off the beaten path place that had all the comforts of home. We got that and more! The home was beautiful, the interior was impeccable…. Think Tommy Bahama decor…. And the outside is incredible! Right on the ocean, beautiful gardens & walking distance to a few restaurants & stores. We loved our stay at “Neil’s place”. And will be back for sure!! Reading some reviews prior to our visit made us question…. But you will not be disappointed!! This place is amazing!! There were 3 TV’s but honestly we never even tried to turn one on. It was really nice to have use of the washer & dryer. And to have access to Jenny If we needed anything was wonderful. Thank you for allowing us the pleasure. Jim & Theresa

Beautiful property with sunrise views.

We loved our stay in Neil's home away from home. Jenny, the property manager a wealth of information about the place. It had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The sunrises were lovely and pelicans treated us to air shows daily and landscaping just right. Would plan another stay if we are lucky enough to return to Costa Rica.

Below Average for the Price.

The pictures do not reflect the property as it stands today. They were obviously taken many years ago. The House is dark and requires updating. The amenities as listed were not present ie: No television or stereo system etc. In addition, the closest sandy beach is not within walking distance. The Property Manager was a pleasure to work with however the Property Owner was not.

Paradis d'emplacement qui fait face au soleil levant, situé dans un endroit calme et charmant

C'est pour souligner le nouvel an que nous avons loué cette magnifique demeure et nous avons été comblé. Situé face au soleil levant, la place est grande, très bien équipée, très propre. Il est a noté que la place est situé loin des grands centres et dans une ville de pêcheurs. Nous l'avons choisi justement pour décrocher des centres touristiques et refaire le plein d'énergie. Comme la plage devant la maison est parsemée de grosses roches nous nous sommes déplacés vers Montezuma pour les périodes de baignades. A marée basse, il est possible de marcher jusqu'a l'île de Cabuya et de visiter un cimetière typique du pays. Dans la petite ville de Cabuya on retrouve tout ce qui est nécessaire pour être autonome (exception du poste d'essence): une petite épicerie, une boulangerie, des restaurants, le parc Cabo Blanco et même une entreprise qui brasse des bières locales (qu'on peut visiter). Sur le terrain il est possible d'observer les singes hurleurs et tout plein d'oiseaux exotiques. Bref, la route est longue pour arriver a la pointe de la péninsule de Nicoya mais le détour en vaut la peine! Nous sommes restés 5 nuits et en aurions pris quelques'unes de plus.

Perfect Getaway

This rental was exactly what we were seeking - an on the beach getaway with all the creature comforts of home. The beds were large enough to sleep the whole family, and the checkin-and management was very easy. The photographs in this listing don't do the place justice - it truly is a spectacular area. Seeking to get to the beach and relax for a a while? Look no further. We even missed one night because of snow leaving home, and the owner offered to refund the night we weren't able to utilize. We'll be back for sure. THanks

Wonderful location, wonderfully relaxing

This was perfect for two couples looking for a quiet retreat away from any tourist hubbub. It's close enough for a quick trip to Montezuma, but the small grocery stores and restaurants in Cabuya are quite adequate. It has everything you need to prepare and enjoy meals and the fans and AC were great for cooling things down in the afternoon. The chairs under the shade tree overlooking the beach were perfectly situated and in constant use. Swimming is good at high tide, and on the right day (when the water isn't cloudy) the snorkeling off Cemetery Island is probably good.

Nice house with a lovely garden that extends right up to the ocean. Lots of wildlife to see and hear

Overall, we found the property as advertised: a great place to relax off-of-the beaten path. The house was comfortable for the three of us and probably would be for two couples. Sleeping 6 would require using the sleeper sofa which we did not check out. The house was clean and neat with one bath upstairs and one downstairs. The A/C worked very well as did the WiFi. We used the washer and dryer but you can also line dry clothes if you have the time. The kitchen had everything that we needed but there was no gas grill (contrary to the listing) which changed our cooking plan. Not a great loss as there are some great places to eat in Montezuma for dinner--we just didn't cook dinner at the house as we had originally planned to. The location of the house is right on the beach with the Isle de Cemeterio in view. The beach is rocky but very peaceful. We spent at least 50% of our time sitting in chairs or hammocks reading and enjoying the downtime. We saw (and heard) numerous howler monkeys as well as a troop of white-faced monkeys during our stay. Lizards and birds are very prevalent in the beautiful green space around the house. We thought that the green space really set the Haciendo Relaxo apart as the green area created both a canopy of shade for us as well as a place for wildlife. The ground level flowers and plants were also very nice with the former attracting hummingbirds. We had no problem finding groceries in Cabuya which saved us from driving to Montezuma for necessities. Also, the check-in process was simple in that we just dropped by the El Coyote Cafe and met with Jenny and she got us into the house (after we ate a really nice pizza that she made in her kitchen!). Checking out was easy, Jenny accommodated our schedule and came by to pick up the keys when we were ready to leave. We would definitely stay at Haciendo Relaxo again.
