Don’t miss out on this gem!!
I simply cannot say enough good things about The Sunhouse - from the amazing location, to the sweetest host ever, to the beautifully maintained and outfitted home - this is a true gem in the mountains of Monteverde! We were beyond thrilled with our accommodations and I cannot recommend The Sunhouse enough! Evelyn is simply wonderful and so helpful. She helped book our night tour with Roy, a guide with a genuine love and passion for the forest he calls home. My husband declared it his favourite part of the trip. Thank you Evelyn for helping make our family trip one for the ages!

Perfect stay
Our multigenerational family of six had a wonderful stay at the Sun House. The home is clean, beautiful, and comfortable with an amazing view. The kitchen is well stocked with essentials and we really appreciated the children’s books and toys. We loved the balcony - we saw many species of birds and heard howler monkeys. Evelyn is a gracious and responsive host who is very knowledgeable about the area. We will definitely be back!

The Sun House was great! We very much enjoyed our stay. The house is very comfortable, and has amazing views. Evelyn was great and was always available. The location of the house was great as well and is a couple minute drive from Santa Elena. Make sure you try the pizza at Pizzeria Rome...one minute drive from the house!!

Beautiful setting
This peaceful and relaxing place was just what we needed after a busy two weeks of travelling around Costa Rica. The kitchen was excellent, the beds comfortable, and the view amazing. Thanks for a great stay!

Peaceful, clean, wonderful view
My son and I had a wonderful stay. The house has amazing views from the back porch, with show stopper sunsets. House has a simple, clean feel, with everything needed to be comfortable, and is up above town in a very peaceful setting, but still easy to access the main attractions. Evelyn was very attentive and helped us and answered all our questions. Recommend!

The View
Absolutely stunning home with a stunning view. It was amazing to watch all the birds from the patio in the morning and the lightening storms in the evening. The host was awesome as well, very friendly, attentive and really went out of her way. I wish we could've stayed longer!

Amazing Stay!
The Sun House was perfect for our family of 4! So close to town, but yet tucked away to where you feel like you’re in your own little paradise. The views were amazing! Evelyn and her husband were wonderful! Would recommend this house in a heartbeat.

Amazing stay!
We could not have asked for a better place in Monteverde! Evelyn was amazing to deal with, so gracious and responsive. The property was beautiful and the view was breathtaking. The only think I wished differently was we didn’t see any monkeys but that’s outside of Evelyn’s control ;)

Spectacular
The Sun House was immaculate, well supplied, comfortable and convenient to the town of Monteverde. The view was awesome. Looking out to the Necoya Peninsula & the Gulf was amazing as was the lovely evening view looking over the town of Monteverde. The peaceful setting with an cocktail on the deck was welcome after adventurous days of trekking in the nearby forests. Our host was on top of everything. We will definitely return to this house on our return to CR. It has everything.
