We really enjoyed our time here. Ben was a very warm and helpful host who responded to our needs promptly and thoughtfully.thanks again Ben.

We began communicating with Ben several months out before our vacation. He was very prompt in responding and answered any and all questions for us. When we arrived, everything was set up and ready for us. It was very enjoyable. This is not a five star hotel room, but very accommodating, very close to a wonderful beach and within driving distances of shops and restaurants. It was a great place to stay. If you do go, you must at least take a nap in the hammocks. They are wonderful.

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.

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!

Ben is an awesome host! He went above and beyond to make our stay as comfortable as possible. Walking through the boardwalk every day to the beach was a great experience. We really enjoyed our week there. Thanks Ben for everthing!

Our stay at this charming property was simply wonderful! Host Ben was exceptional! Literally the best VRBO host we've ever had. He was incredibly responsive, friendly, and went above and beyond to ensure our comfort. His attention to detail and willingness to help made a big difference. We felt well taken care of throughout our stay.The property itself had everything we needed for a comfortable and enjoyable stay. The AC in the sleeping spaces was excellent, providing a cool and refreshing environment, which made our nights very comfortable. The hammocks for morning coffee and reading was a really nice touch as well.I will say this after reading other reviews on the property. You are not at a resort! If you require resort amenities this is not for you, but the tree house was perfect for us.You could walk to the beach, but we drove, Ben told us where and how to park and we found it much much easier than had we walked.Overall, we highly recommend this property for anyone looking to experience a charming, rustic getaway with a host who truly cares about their guests' experience.

Me and a small group stayed at both places on Ben's property. The accommodations were nice for what I have experienced in Costa Rica. The property was a short walk to the beach and Ben's was a very responsive host!

The hammocks were so nice and relaxing. There was even monkeys and parrots in the yard. The beach was magnificent and we really had a great time. I can’t say enough nice things. Ben was such a great host. We will be back!

We really loved our stay at the treehouse, and Ben was a wonderful host. It was a perfect place to have two small families stay on the same property but in separate houses. The beach wasn’t far and Ben was very helpful with recommendations of restaurants and also in setting up our airport transportation. We had a wonderful Christmas vacation!

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.

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!

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!

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.

It was a truly wonderful 4 week vacation. Ben was super responsive to any of our questions or concerns. He also made suggestions to make our trip even better. The house is in an excellent location…a 15-20 minute walk to the one of the most beautiful beaches you’ll ever see. During the heat of the day it was great to relax in the hammocks on the covered deck, feel the breeze and enjoy a cold cerveza. After 2 weeks back in the cold the one thing we miss most is all the wonderful warm and friendly people we met.

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!

Ben was very communicative and check in was easy. The property is pretty, the rooms are air conditioned and the kitchen was well equipped However: The photos and description were misleading. Read the fine print. Cold water only.

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.

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!!

Poor condition of floor, kitchen, bathroom, bedding, moldy a/c, doors, overall dissatisfaction wud be an understatement...our driver/friend would not go inside...we intend ask for partial refund...only stayed 2 out of 3 days...if we had an option of relocating, we wud have in a new york minute...we renamed it the Fred Flintsone house....marketing photos not accurate at all, same w reviews- no way 5 stars which were the reviews...we did not want to spend any time there....sorry but true...2 starving cats in yard that we fed, no coffee filters to even start the visit...we left some for next unfortunate guest...really felt cheated...bath faucet sprays you with water...poor shower... We can't figure out how they clean anything. Because the interior of the bathroom walls were a heavy stone, and showed real wear...sorry but true, all of this...we are not picky travellers, but this was the bottom of the barrel...we never really unpacked

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!

Ok, let’s start with the entrance to the property. The huge wooden gate that you had to open was very hard to open, my wife could not open it without my help and you had to wade through weeds to get to it! Once through the gate the grounds of the property was so overgrown and trash everywhere that made you not want to go to either unit of the property. There was bed sheets and covers hanging on rails of both units and the key was not left at either unit. When contacted by the property manager he knew we were not happy about the property and offered the other unit because it was supposed to be an upgrade. He had to send a cleaning lady to open the upgraded house, she started cleaning and we started looking around the house and you could tell that it hadn’t been maintained for a while, so that is when we knew there was no way we were going to stay there! The property was nothing like the pictures, we are not real picky people, but we do expect cleanliness. We will end by saying that even though the booking was non refundable, the host was happy to refund our money. We had to find another place to stay in the area, but was able to do so with some help from the locals. Ken and Regina
