Holiday houses in Trocha

Both Amy and Gary were super friendly, helpful, and you just felt like you met some really good people. The place had everything you needed. Clean as a whistle. And what an amazing view!! We will definitely be going back! Soon!!! - Mark

Sarah’s place is amazing, we will definitely be back. This house has oceanfront views, a beautiful yard and a great pool to make our stay very relaxing and peaceful! We saw macaws, a variety of birds, iguanas, lizards, coati’s and a mama sloth that the kids would run and try to spot every morning. The property manager was so friendly and helpful and would crack coconuts for us and spot the sloth when we couldn’t find her. Sarah would check in and see if we needed anything. She has a book at the house with wonderful recommendations of things to do in the area and places to visit that were reasonably close! We ate at Coquito’s frequently. They are the nicest restaurant owners with amazing food! We loved swimming in the pool and ocean every day. We enjoyed our daily beach strolls and didn’t feel like leaving much because of how peaceful and quiet Zancudo is, especially at Sarah’s place! I can’t say enough good things about this place, especially if you are looking for a relaxing getaway!

A beautiful private place to relax on our Costa Rica vacation. I would recommend accepting the services of the free private tour guides. They were great at sniffing out the waterfalls and showing us the property. One of them had a keen interest in pointing out specific ball shaped rocks!

This place offers great value for money. they accepted our reservation even if was for one night only and I really value that. We were warmly greeted by Ismelda with refreshing cold towels. She provided all the information we needed about the area and prepared an outstanding local breakfast for us. The bed was comfy, and the air conditioning was a lifesaver in the heat. Overall, we loved our stay—but Ismelda and her kindness were truly the highlight.

Cecile and Carla are the most welcoming hosts who made our stay very enjoyable. The property is stunning - we especially loved the pickleball court and infinity pool. This place is perfect if you’re looking for a relaxing retreat away. There’s a lot to do in the neighboring towns but also a lot to do should you want more of a staycation experience given how expansive and beautiful her place is. While it can be difficult to learn the way up the mountain initially, Cecile was incredibly helpful and the roads held up well despite the rain. She anticipated our every need such as ensuring we had spare lamps in case of power outages with storms that are typical in Costa Rica. Please follow her instructions and get that 4x4! Also know that it is at least a 4hr drive from SJO. I highly recommend booking at least a week long stay here - it’s truly a jungle oasis with the best hosts who make you feel right at home and go above and beyond. Thanks for an incredible stay! 10/10 would book again.

Nice secluded spot up on the mountain, good location if you’re looking for a true off grid experience. Very accurate to the listing, and the message sent of warnings of it being a jungle experience with bugs and a hike to get to. Definitely wouldn’t recommend trying to lug a suitcase or a lot of goods up to the treehouse. We did a river hike from the base camp with waterfalls and swimming pools that was the highlight of our two week trip. It’s an interesting place you’d be hard pressed to match elsewhere. Only negatives aren’t on the host or the property, if members of your group struggle with terrain they may have difficulty reaching the house. A decent 4x4 is also required to climb the hill as others have noted. We did see monkeys, snakes, and a ton of different birds. I would recommend to any adventure seekers.

We had a lovely stay. You won't miss the birdsong. Hostess is very nice and gave us great recommendations for activities. We'd love to come back

We had an amazing time at this beautiful home tucked into the jungle. The setting is very serene, with the sound of the river always in the background and the plethora of wildlife all around. The bed was very comfy, so a good nights rest was practically guaranteed. There are a few things I would note for anyone considering the home, especially if this is your first visit to the area. It is a 10+ minute rocky drive to the home off the main road, not a big deal with a sturdy car. Especially during rainy season, there’s a good chance you’ll lose power at some point, but seems to be restored quickly. Most places, including this home, discouraged you from flushing toilet paper, an adjustment from home. Being that this place is so small, there’s not a ton of privacy between the bathroom and bedroom, and the living area is not meant for lounging. That’s what the outdoor spaces are for! This was an experience unlike any other we’ve had in our previous visits to CR, I highly recommend it!
