Rustic Treehouse
The Host Ben is very responsive and kind. I wanted to experience living among the Ticos and we loved it. This place is unique and cozy for the 4 of us girls. There are some minor upgrades needed but we are so easygoing that it was not a bother. We survived a huge thunderstorm and no power for just a couple hours. The property has 2 cats. Also each bedroom has air conditioning and we enjoyed Netflix in the evening. This area is definitely a surf town and several restaurants walking distance. Lola’s was a 10 minute walk. Ben gave us passes to enter via Las Olas in order to get to the beach which was a very impressive walk because we saw monkeys and crabs. At the beac we boogey board and rained a little but that did not bother us. Tamarindo is about a 30 minute drive and that was an amazing experience. We drank, danced and laughed. We met Ben’s friend Jeff and he helped us girl get to know a little more of Playas Avellanas. We ate at La Tia and the Pinto Tico was delicious. I really enjoyed our experience in Costa Rica.

Worth it.
Really enjoyed this tree house. Ben was a great host! He was very responsive to our questions and had great tips for what to do in the area. The actual house comfortably slept the four of us and had ample room for us to lounge and enjoy the weather. I had a great time traveling in Costa Rica, and this location was my favorite!

Great time in Avellanas!
Stayed here with 3 others and found the location to be very accommodating. The location fit our needs with respect to private parking, security, and location to the beach. We were also able to cook meals in the kitchen which added to the convenience. Avellanas is a great beach town and the beach was a short walk away. It was nice lounging around in the hammock and enjoying the scenery. I would gladly go back.

A wonderful jungle/beach adventure!
Ben met us and welcomed us and showed us around. He gave us great ideas for meals and beach activities, even bringing us a boogie board. Howler monkeys all around in the trees. Two charming cats welcomed us too. The treehouse is a bit rustic but truly a great Costa Rican experience! Our host Ben even joined us for breakfast at the local restaurant. Loved getting to know him!! The mangrove walk to the beach is magical just after sunset and Lola’s restaurante on the beach was a great hangout place with a fun vibe and great food! Highly recommend for the adventurous souls!

Fun Tree House Property
This house was a lot of fun and in a good location that is close to a beautiful beach. Ben was an amazing host. He checked up on us, gave us excellent recommendations on things to do and places to eat, gave us access to the beautiful boardwalk accessing the beach, and most of all was extremely nice. The house is a fun Costa Rican house also. It has two levels and had hammocks outside. There is also a small loft on a third level. The house is located inside a locked gate, which is nice for security. We appreciated the stay.

The lodging is perfectly fine for a beach vacation, Ben makes the overall experience a 5+! We had a minor issue upon check in, which Ben remedied with sincere apologies. The beaches are beautiful and the upper level deck was a great hang out spot where we spent evenings reminiscing about our childhood. If you are looking for a beach vacation with the basics AND nature at its finest, the tree house is the place for you. Thank you Ben, Chachi and Yoko!

Month at the Tree House
Spent April at the tree house and had a wonderful time. Ben is a great host. Love the location and the peaceful vibe of the property. The property is rustic so don't expect luxury but it is very charming and comfortable. We really enjoyed the upstairs deck and chilled in the hammock often. The neighborhood is great. Love the beach and the local restaurants. if you are looking for a luxury experience this is not your place. If you are looking for an authentic local experience in a quiet community close to a beautiful beach, great waves, and some good restaurants this is for sure a gem. I found great relaxation and peace there. I will be back for sure. Thanks Ben!

We were spoiled with getting to see 10 howler monkeys in the tree outside the treehouse. Our main objective was to be at the beach as much as possible. We either walked or drove the short distance. Plenty of local food options between the house and beach. Felt close to nature with the sounds and sightings of birds, geckos, monkeys , iguanas and resident cats.

Laid back getaway
The host, Ben is kind & knowledgeable, super friendly, there when you need him, and respectful of your space. The location was perfect for us, walking distance to a couple small restaurants/bars, and another hotel area (Las Olas) with great staff/food. The walk to the beach (through Las Olas) is fabulous! There is also Lola's restaurant on the south end of the beach. Good surfing (Ben rents surfboards), swimming & sunsets. Recommend having a rental car to visit other North & South beaches for day trips. We rented an SUV which was great because the local roads are not paved. Go knowing you'll be staying in a place close to nature, lots of fun jungle noises (howler monkeys, birds, bugs etc) wifi, A/C, all worked great. Hammocks were comfy, and the upper porch is the best place to hangout. Friendly cats kept us company. Something to have in mind if it's windy, power can go out, it comes back on quickly. We happened to be there during an unseasonably windy week, but Ben was on top of it all. Honestly, we didn't even notice power was out, you can enjoy the outdoors without it. (Headlamps are nice to have, mostly for the walk on road at night). There are a couple places on the property, and a house he rents in front, on the way to the Treehouse. Once you're there it feels very private. Definitely worth the price. We didn't want to leave!

Perfect Costa Rica Beach getaway!
This was the perfect place for a week vacation. We have never been to Costa Rica and didn't really know what to expect. We were traveling with one teenager and two young adults and ourselves, and this property and location was perfect for our family. Short walk to the beach and the sunsets are amazing. The grounds were beautiful. We rented the home in the back of the property and it was perfect. Great kitchen two queen beds and a lovely rock bathroom downstairs and queen bedroom suite upstairs with an awesome deck with a hammock. Perfect for our family. We enjoyed our stay so much and Ben was so helpful securing tours for us and giving us great information on beaches, snorkeling and restaurants to visit. This was a great vacation for our family and we hope to visit again!

Romantic Getaway
We were looking for a place to getaway for just the two of us and this was the perfect spot! Beautiful cabin away from everything. Once we were there we never left as it had everything we needed. Check-in and management were amazing! The propane tank for the grill was empty but it wasn’t that big of a deal. The long gravel driveway can be a little tricky as it is steep in areas and the turn around is small but we didn’t have any major issues and we had a Ford Flex. Overall it was 5 stars and we’ll definitely be back!

Perfect beach getaway
Had an amazing time at Ben's place in Playa Avellanas. The treehouse was the perfect spot to chill and relax while being conveniently located near the beach and near lots of good eating spots. The place is very quaint and rustic but, that's our style -- if you aren't the camping type this place might not be for you as you are close with nature! Hammocks were well utilized by us -- so comfortable and relaxing and the perfect spot to completely unwind. Our host, Ben was so amazing and instantly you feel like you've know him forever. He makes sure everything is taken care of and is such a nice guy!! Things we enjoyed during our stay: - gelato next door - day trips to Pirate's Bay, Playa Negra, Tamarindo - Reina's chocolate shop -- do the tastings!! - boogie boarding...great surf on the beach - amazing smoothies at most restaurants (passionfruit is a must) This is such a great way to enjoy the Gaunacaste region of Costa Rica! Thank you Ben for the most amazing stay...keep in touch!!

Best Vacation ever wonderful stay
The property was well maintained. It had a cleaning crew that even offered to do laundry for us and clean every day if we needed them to. The place was spotless when we arrived. The scenery in the backyard was absolutely beautiful. There was a lot of space outside to enjoy the scenery. We even had a troop of howler monkeys join us for part of the day. There was also this beautiful bird that started to visit us every day and got so used to us that it would eat out of our hand. Boogie boards on site and an outside grill. Great gelato place next door, Barney and his wife are the best, short walk to the beach through cabinas las olas and a little mini mart within walking distance we got to know the guy there very well also. Everyone we have met has been so kind and so helpful best customer service experience I have ever encountered and all the restaurants around there are absolutely amazing great food which we would not have known about if it wasn't for our host Ben. Out of all the things I could compliment about this property I would say that the interaction we had with Ben was what really made it the perfect stay. He was so helpful in so many ways. He would tell us the events in the area we could go see, different places to visit and where to eat. If we had any kind of issue whatsoever it was addressed immediately. Answered any questions we had. He was so helpful. His cleaning ladies were also so kind and polite. None of them were ever intrusive. We welcomed Ben to sit and talk with us because he was such great company. He's a very kind and thoughtful person and made sure our every need was met with a smile on his face. It was such a pleasure to have met them all. They were all very amazing warm and welcoming people. I would highly recommend staying here. The overall experience was wonderful. We were pura vida for sure. Not a worry in the world. PS I forgot to mention the cats on the property. They were so friendly and felt they were part of our little family. I enjoyed having them there. I felt comfortable knowing they were there to keep any kind of critters away. One more thing, we very much enjoyed the hammocks outside especially the one on the deck each one of us took our turn falling asleep in them because it was so comfortable and peaceful. Definitely take advantage of the hammocks. I really can't say enough about the hospitality that was shown. Amazing place amazing people. Thank you Ben and crew.
