Enchanted Tree House experience with all the comforts!

Tree houses have something to say. They speak in an ancient language, and the message is universal: climb up and be in harmony with Nature.
Let go of earthbound encumbrances and be free. You may not be young enough any more to climb a tree, branch by perilous branch, but so what?
The important thing is being in the tree not how you get up in it. (Peter Nelson and Garry Hadden).

A unique experience, living in a giant rubber tree, nestled in its branches, with nature all around you. Fall asleep to the sounds of the jungle and wake up in luxury. Topo's Tree House has 2 decks, with an extra 3rd little deck to enjoy your morning coffee or an evening cocktail while looking out into the jungle's tree tops and flora. You might even share this moment with a passing sloth!
The 1st floor has a beautiful tropical wood deck, with carved posts and one side which is completely a wall of the giant tree's roots, creating a mosaic of shapes, twists and turns. There is a fully equipped kitchen, dining room, bathroom and terrace over-looking the tropical pond with its orchids and lilies. Relax in the hammock while watching parrots, hummingbirds and toucans as they fly by.
On the 2nd deck, there is a another living room on the open air terraced with a spectacular view looking over the canopy of trees and plants. The 2 bedrooms are adjacent to the living room, each with its own window opening out into the tree's branches. The main bedroom has a 4 poster-bed with a full Queen orthopaedic mattress, lots of pillows and a mosquito net draping over it, lamps and a security safe box. The other bedroom has 2 twin beds with mosquito nets and lamps. A large bathroom with 2 sinks, a full shower with glass doors, elegant tiles and beautiful hardwood cabinets.
The 3rd deck has its private little terrace with iron wrought chairs and table , feel completely enveloped in the trees living branches with hanging orchids.
On the 1st floor, an outside shower is found in between the trees roots.
Comforts are found everywhere, from the hot running water, fully equipped kitchen, wireless Internet, flat screen Satellite TV, outdoor BBQ, to a big fridge.
The large tropical gardens have been landscaped for years but retain their natural attraction. They have been nourished to be the home for different species of birds, poison dart frogs (harmless to humans by the way!), inviting sloths monkeys and butterflies. The tropical gardens are a home to much of the local wildlife. Little ponds for fish and turtles, bromeliads for frogs and flowers for butterflies. Stroll through this magical garden, truly a little Garden of Eden.
At only 200 mt. down the little sand road lies the beach of Playa Negra. A well known beach for surfers. The coconut trees, the beach, the surfers, swimmers and the famous 'Reggae Bar' make it a great place to relax and enjoy life. Sit on the open air terrace of 'Reggae Bar' over-looking the beach, feel the breeze as it moves through the palm leaves, enjoy a Pina Colada and the local dish of Coconut Chicken with Rice & Beans or a fresh Redsnapper grilled on the BBQ. Friday nights are 'Live Music' dance and move to the vibes of Reggae, Calypso and Blues. For the younger generation hit the town! The streets are full of locals and tourists dancing and having fun to the music of Reggae Dancehall.
Make yourself comfortable in this air-conditioned vacation home, featuring a kitchen with a refrigerator and an oven. There's a private balcony. A flat-screen television is provided for your entertainment. Conveniences include a phone, as well as a safe and a microwave.
Take in the views from a terrace and a garden and make use of amenities such as concierge services.
Guests will find features like wireless internet access and onsite parking.

We stayed from January 7th to January 14th 2023. The tree house is beautiful! The setting is ideal, you are surrounded by jungle and you can hear the waves at night. The animals came to us! On the first day, we saw sloth (in the treehouse tree), lesser capiberra, toucan, silver monkey, howler monkey, large iguana, and BATS (they live in the treehouse with you). Topo informed me the the drive from San Jose was too long for the time we arrived (10pm) and advised us to stay the night in San jose. I attempted to make the reservation change several weeks prior and he rejected to change stating it was too late (Vbro policy states otherwise). When we arrive, Topo was clearly annoyed that we did not arrive on Saturday..... Topo gave us a tour of the beautiful treehouse and in that tour it was discovered that several lights did not work, and there was an electrical short in the bathroom light. Topo also pointed out that he needs to install anti slip tape on the stairs because they are slippery when dry and get wet when it rains ( yes my wfe and I both slipped but no injury) Topo stated that he needed to fix them but never did. After he left, we noticed that there were mice droppings in many locations. The main areas of the treehouse are open to the jungle. You need to realize this prior to staying incase you are not comfortable with bats, lizards, mice, cockroaches, etc. I fell thru the floor due to poor construction and maintenance.

Fantastico!
Topo’s treehouse is one to not miss !When you go in it is like entering into a fairytale!The detail that went into this is truly amazing .The bedrooms were very cool with AC units ,and even the outdoor spaces were comfortable and not at all buggy like you may think it would be since it is outdoors.The hammocks were a great place to relax in the treehouse also. The property is absolutely gorgeous and a short walk to the beach and Reggae bar.Topo could not have been any more kind ,helpful .and friendly. I highly recommend Topo’s treehouse adventure !

A rainforest experience, mere steps from a beautiful beach
Wake up refreshed to the calls of birds. Watch toucans in the trees off your deck. Spot the agouti while relaxing in a hammock. Witness the daily routines of the friendly fruit bat family. Take a short walk to the soft sand beach and the Reggae Bar. See sloths in the trees near town. Walk or drive less than a mile to the unforgettable Cahuita Natl Park, with its own beautiful beaches and abundant wildlife. Eat in town at Restaurante Pizzeria Cahuita, with its beautiful seaside deck. If you're ok with a natural experience and some creepy crawlies (e.g. cockroaches in the bedrooms in the evening) then you will be rewarded with an authentic and unforgettable Costa Rican getaway. Don't forget the binoculars!

Magical treehouse
I have rented 3 separate treehouses and this is the only one that is truly in a tree! The house itself is better than what is listed and the property is amazing. Great location to do everything or nothing. Topos was so helpful in assisting us with everything from surf lessons to fixing a flat tire. Thank you for a very memorable stay, we will return!

What an experience of a lifetime! Literally in the jungle with open views and new things to be seen everyday. Topo is an amazing host and very accommodating. After a long day of travel we had water fruits and imperial (Costa rican beer) waiting for us. Bring bug spray and be prepared to embark on memories that will last a lifetime! Pura Vida!

WOW! This place is gorgeous! I highly recommend. You do have to be ok with nature coming into your place as it is open air. We had fruit bats that camped in the tree that chirped at us in the morning! They were absolutely adorable!

Mixed feelings
Our family of four (Mom, Dad, girls 10 & 13) stayed here four nights in late March. First, I will agree with many reviews I had read that living in a tree house is a unique fun experience. There were three sloths living in the tree which we really enjoyed. Also a family of bats and many other critters, poison dart frogs, large bugs, and geckos came to visit. Topo's dog Shaila was also a friendly welcomed visitor every morning. Topo provided a welcome pack of juices, fruit, and a couple of beers. That was nice. However, there were some things we wish were different and better. There was only one kitchen towel provided, which can be a problem when laundry doesn't dry because of the humidity. We had to use some of the beach towels provided to get by. The was no can opener. The knives provided were extremely dull. There was a sharpening steel, but it didn't have an edge so couldn’t sharpen anything. And no extra paper products. There were two partial rolls of toilet paper when we arrived, one per bathroom, but after that we were told we had to supply our own. Another thing that made us question the overall value is the condition of the unit. Mostly, the tree house is in great shape. However, some of the floor boards on the first floor need to be repaired or replaced due to rot. It’s an open environment so water is going to enter the structure, but it should also be maintained. There was a lot of flex to certain areas of the first floor and the wood walk way leading to the tree house, that made us feel uneasy. We knew we were paying a premium to stay at such a unique place, and it is unique and the location is good, but the lack of basic necessities and lack of maintenance made us feel that the value wasn’t there.

Perfect place for a family vacation - for our August stay
We absolutely loved our stay at Topo's treehouse. We are a family of four who stayed here in August 2017 with our two nature- loving kids, ages 9 and 11. We had rented a car and drove from San Juan - though we were happy to find that we could walk to most places. For example, we walked to Tree of Live (~20 min walk), which has a very interested tour. And just a 2-minute walk away is Centro Turistico Brigitte - which has a restaurant where had a fabulous breakfast, and where we took two tours: the Chocolate tour (visiting a BriBri family, making our own hot chocolate, and then swimming in a waterfall ), and the jungle + beach horseback riding tour. Also, we took the Tarantulas WayTour with Chris - a night walk in the jungle with a very knowledgable and interesting guide. We also visited and loved the Sloth Sanctuary - an easy drive away. More walkable is the local National Park (which you can enter from downtown Cahuita) - also amazing. Of course, staying in the treehouse is an adventure in itself and some parts of each day, we enjoyed just being there. Topo's friendly dog would sometimes stop by, and Topo gave us a tour of his garden, and that was truly lovely, too. I had been nervous about reading that the Caribbean side was "mosquito coach" - especially with the Zika virus outbreak - and though we had prepared thoroughly for that, I was pleasantly surprised to not find that a problem at all. Maybe the poison dart frogs make the treehouse especially OK for that? I think it was good we went in August - low season - as it never felt crowded and we could do nearly all tours and things we wanted to do (except when we couldn't get into "Sobre Las Olas" seaside restaurant one Monday night without a reservation!), we loved the laid back vibe of Cahuita, and the treehouse was an absolutely wonderful place to stay.

True adventure!
Most unique place we've ever stayed, our children loved it too! Topo (owner) was most welcoming and the place is actually well finished and more comfortable than you'd expect for living basically outdoors (bedrooms are closed up which is wise). Tons of wildlife around- lizards, resident sloth, dozens of howler monkeys and a family of bats living in the "hallway"- we'd walk quietly past them to the bathroom so as not to disturb them. Brigitte's next door is great for breakfast and the reggae bar has awesome food in ridiculously large portions. Well worth the experience.

Unique and great for families!
We stayed here for 4 nights and loved all our time there. You feel like you're in the middle of the jungle with the sounds at night and nothing beats seeing a sloth or howler monkey right outside your window. Great collection of little critters for the kids to see everyday. Location is within walking distance to the beach and some restaurants, while only being a short drive to even more selections in Puerto Viejo. Topo met us on arrival, showed us around the house, and even had a few drinks in the fridge for the kids and I! Would definitely stay here again!
