The views from the pool are incredible…we spent many hours in the pool enjoying those views of the Pacific as well as enjoying all the wildlife. The unit is very well laid out f with a fully equipped kitchen as well as a bbq…which we used most nights. We took a taxi fro SHo airport right to our home in the sky, but rented a car in Jaco for a few days of sightseeing etc. if you are renting a car we strongly suggest 4wd as the drive up the mountain can be a bit challenging.Anyone who rents this unit will not be disappointed ##### clare g.

They did everything and more to make us feel at home. We enjoyed the views, the pool, and the house. There is lots to do and see in the area and so we filled our 6-day stay and truly regretted that we had to leave and go back home. Our hosts allowed us to arrive a day early due to a tropical storm in the location where we were coming from -- this was super nice.

It truly is a little piece of heaven. <3 ##### Verified traveller Stayed 11 nights in Jan 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Stuart W. 16 Mar 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### 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! ##### Stuart W.

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! ##### don p.

Michelle and David's place in Jaco is named Pedazo de Cielo, and it is an apt description. We were a family traveling with a toddler and infant, and our stay was absolutely perfect! The house's location provides breathtaking views that you can enioy from a pristine pool. In addition to the views, we caught sight of beautiful birds and monkeys frolicking in the nearby trees and patio. The house itself was imaculate and beautifully furnished. We immediately felt right at home. Contributing sizeably to this was Michelle and David's hospitality! They provided such a warm greeting to us and ensured we had what we needed throughout our stay. As one of several examples, when we told them we were going to the beach one day, they offered and put out beach tables, umbrellas, and chairs near our car so we'd have everything we needed! They also alerted us to when we could see wildlife (i.e. monkeys) from the house--much to the delight of our daughter. In short, you cannot find a more perfect place to stay and set of hosts. Thanks, Michelle and David! ##### Sasha R.
