Calm and relaxing retreat
This unit we rented was very clean. The bountiful gardens was well taken care of and its flora attracted a variety of birds and butterflies. Max was an exceptional host and responded immediately to any needs that arose.

Unforgettable family experience
We had an amazing stay in Montezuma. Ivan’s House felt like a second home to us - it was perfectly located and had all the amenities we needed. It felt quaint and nostalgic, the perfect place to experience the culture of Montezuma. Francesca made our check in process very smooth and was very hospitable. Zuma Tour’s was very professional and helpful in booking our transportation needs and experiences. 5 star experience!

Such a wonderful place! Communication with Francesca and Giulia was easy and clear. The house is right on the beach and easy walk to shops (especially loved the fruit/vegetable stand almost across the street. Get up early at least once to watch the sunrise right out the door. Beach out front is calm for swimming so a little busy. Other more secluded places are within walking distance

PERFECT!
The location was excellent and the home was perfect. Just what you would hope for in an open air home on the beach with incredible sunrises and view of the water every morning! Convenient to walk to any store, restaurant or bar the small town has to offer. Can enjoy hearing some evening music from local outdoor areas, but not too loud. In comparison to Santa Teresa, Montezuma was a great quiet, less crowded beach and town to stay--glad we made this choice. Highly recommend it!

One week in Montazuma
My friends and I had a great time at Ivan's place and in Montezuma. Waking up to the waves and a wonderful beach view every day was amazing. Ivan was very helpful and overall a great host. We used his tour company Zuma Tours, a couple of times for a boat trip and ziplining. The Zuma Tour staff were all very nice people and provided a great experience. The house is right in town so mornings tend to be somewhat noisy, but having such close access to town and the beach made it worth it for us.

Just what we were looking for
We wanted a beach house. That is exactly what we got. The house is very open and right next to the beach ( could walk barefoot to the ocean). It is rustic but very clean. AC in bedrooms was good except the upstairs bedroom struggled a bit with 118 degree heat index days. Owners were very responsive. If we ever return, we will certainly try to reserve this property again. It was relaxing, close to great restaurants, reasonable kitchen for cooking our own breakfasts and the beautiful beach was never crowded. Like I said, for what we were looking for it was perfect.

we loved this property, perfectly located on the beach, and just close enough to town.

Great Stay in Montezuma
We loved our stay at Ivan's place! The house is steps from the ocean and the beach out front is a beautiful and lively scene. The house is walking distance from several other beaches where we saw capuchin monkeys swinging through the palms. There are some great restaurants very nearby where you can sip a cocktail and enjoy the panoramic views of the ocean.

Amazing location
The location is amazing. 1 minute walk from corner store / grocery store (has absolutely everything you may need (food, drink, sunscreen, etc) and all of the restaurants. The proximity to thr beach was the best.we found the water to be best in the morning (less waves and most blue /transparent). Can walk easily to the water falls (we did the trick with 3 young kids). Francesca was very helpful and easy to contact via whats app. Lots of backpackers because of hotels around (not a bad thing) and lots of young families. Overall we were extremely happy with our stay.

Montezuma experience
We had such a great time. The house is right on the beach and right next to the Montevuma's downtown area. We were actually more impressed with the house after we arrived. This house is amazing and unique and close to many of the local attractions. We loved this area because it is not a big tourist spot. We would love to come back sometime into he future to stay.

Many Good Things
The house is very cute. Bedrooms with air conditioning are comfortable, very nice updated bathrooms. Located right in the heart of the town. Kitchen was good though everything needed to be washed before use. Lots of tiny bugs on the counter. Open all the doors and shutters for a glorious breeze through the house in the morning and into the day. Beautiful ocean view and sounds. We lived sitting on the deck watching the waves and wildlife. Unfortunately there are no screens, so leaving the house open in the evening brings in lots of bugs. LOTS! Also, because it is located next to a youth hostel and across the beach from a bar and town square, it becomes very noisy at night and into the early morning hours. The constant pot smoke and noise were unpleasant. No way possible to fall asleep to the sounds of the ocean because you must close all the windows and doors and cab all hear the music. Early in the morning, 6am the workers at the tour business attached to the house begin to prep for the day which is also very noisy. We were woken up every day just after sunrise by lots of banging and loud voices. By 8am the tour busses arrive and the idling busses filled one bedroom with terrible fumes. Most of this is not the owners fault, but this was not the quiet, relaxing place we had hoped for. Now.... if you are into late nights at the bar and are a deep sleeper, this is the perfect place as you. Big enough for a large family or group of party people. Overall we were satisfied with what was provided and despite some issues with plumbing, they were very responsive.

Zuma Tours is right there and can literally help with anything. Needed to buy a 2nd drone and zuma tours was able to get it to us the next morning from San Jose. Grocery shopping a Very short walk. Amazing seafood across the road.. they will deliver to Ivan’s house. Looking forward to coming back very soon.

This is an actual home, lovingly maintained and taken care of, and not the usual vacation rental one expects to find. It is equipped with everything any family would require. Marco and Marlene and their daughter Leticia are available for assistance if needed, while providing a safe, private one of a kind get away. This is our go to place when we are in LaFortuna.

Great stay but some issues
My husband and 4 daughters (16-27) stayed at this house for 15 days. We had a wonderful time except for a break-in in the middle of the night by a strange man who actually entered the house and opened the door to my daughters' room. They screamed and the man fled. I contacted the manager, Javier and asked him to review the video from the backyard cameras. Javier and the owner Ivan, rather than express dismay and ask if the girls were alright, proceeded to blame us for this terrifying experience! It was our fault for "partying" with the "locals". The "locals" were the 2 young men they referred us to for surfing lessons. As proof, they sent pics of us sitting on the back deck with them. It was supremely disconcerting to be sent pictures of my family eating and drinking on the outside deck as proof that we were somehow responsible for the break in. Additionally, the locks on the doors were simple slide locks that were rusted and old and barely functional. The locks on the inside doors did not work - we tried to use them when we first arrived and none of the keys or locks worked. We had been told that it was safe and we didn't need to worry about security. The back door was unlocked that night but sealed tight and all the other doors were closed and locked. The man entered the gated backyard, checked the doors to find an unlocked one, entered and then checked the bedrooms!! We reported the incident to the police despite Javier's strange insistence that we shouldn't get the police involved. There is obviously so much more to this story, but bottom line is, we experienced a rather traumatic break in and the owner and property manager blamed us for the incident!! Bottom line, this house rental seems to have rules such as you can't "party" on the patio of the beach house (i.e. drink beer with your family) or fraternize with the "locals" (the 2 surf instructors who they referred and who my daughters made friends with). Also, if there is a crime, they prefer that you don't report it to the local police. We are a family, not a bachelor party or college kids on spring break. Our family vacation could hardly be considered wild partying. I am sure Ivan and Javier will reply to this review with denials and lies, but of course, they have a strong incentive to do so. Finally, if you do rent this house, I would exercise caution on the beach. There was a strong rip tide and two people drowned while we were there - one right there on the beach.

Ohh Isabel, I Would prefer staying silent on this but due to your unfair review after all the help you have got from us and especially from my daughter that is 22 years old, born in Montezuma and knows everyone, is impossible to stay in silence and is necessary to clarify many things. The house was renovated last year, all the doors works perfectly fine and lock properly. We could clearly see from the video cámaras located outside on the patio ( only outside) that you guys were used to leave the house completely open all night long with all your personal things on the outside table and having visitors pretty often. Montezuma is safe when you are not giving any confidence to locals and strangers you just meet at the beach (i think you would do the same in your country) Your teenager daughters+ young extra guest have been partying almost every night till early hours to the point that our neighbors complained as well. Our manager Javier one or two days after your arrival told you clearly to keep an eye on your young daughters and avoiding to be so friendly with locals guys. Actually the 2 guys you are mentioning are pretty well know in town as drug dealers and all the rest comes by itself dear Isabel. Also just to clarify that the beach right in front our house is the only one that have calm water at the point that all the boats to the islands departs from there. So the fact that you are saying all this things on this review it comes from your hunger and not from the real facts. Nothing of this wouldn't happen if you followed Javier tips , common sense, house rules and the most important thing, YOUR DAUGHTERS PARTY ATTITUDE. All the best .

Our stay at Ivan's House right at the beach of Montezuma was a blast. Ivan and his family made our stay beyond comfortable and it felt like home away from home.

Location , location, location:)
Ivan’s house is right on the beach!!! Water is +27 C year round! We stayed in Montezuma for 8 days and loved it! Ivan’s house is truly home away from home:). We loved covered patio and hammocks. Didn’t really spend time in the house except for sleeping. Air conditioners are in all bedrooms which made sleep very comfortable. Kitchen has everything you’ll need if you decide to cook. House is very close to everything. Supermarket may be 2 minutes away by foot. Restaurants are all great and just minutes away!!! Seafood is delicious! We stayed during rainy season and it was raining for couple of days but it didn’t affect our vacation . We discovered yoga classes and massage place (right across the street from BBQ restaurant) and took ATV TOUR ( zumatours) as well. We loved ATV Tour so much so we booked second one:) Great thing is that Zumba Tours can customize tour for you . Also we created little shell garden from shells we collected on the beach. Waterfall is just 10 minutes walking distance. We loved Ivan’s house and location and all friendly people of Montezuma. When we leaving people stop by to say goodbye. We will definitely be back:) Thank you Ivan for feeling so welcome in your home!

Perfect adventure and relaxation combo
If you are looking for an authentic experience with the best location in Montezuma, Ivan's House is the place to be. The little town of Montezuma was just a few steps away by beach. The food and restaurants in town were impressive. The grocery store has pretty much everything you need too. We caught 13 magi-mahi on a Zumatour fishing excursion, so we grilled them up at the house. The rest we took to a local restaurant and they prepared the fish for us. My husband was worried we would get too hot without a pool, but the ocean is just steps away and we spent a lot of time floating. We traveled with one other couple and stayed 6 days. We did not stay out past 9 so I can’t tell too much about the nightlife. You definitely see a lot of backpackers, and smell marijuana, which goes along with the cute beach vibe of the town. Kids will have some fires outside of the house, but nothing rowdy. There was a hostile Nextdoor that seemed to have local families vacationing.. we enjoyed the tortuga island tour as well. The boat ride to the island was pretty and smooth. I usually get sea sick but was fine. overall people were friendly and Ivan and Gustavo did a good job checking on us. We would go back. I wish I would have done more massages, yoga, and energy work, which they seemed to have an abundance of practitioners.

Amazing location but could use some love
The location is right on the beach and super central in tiny Montezuma. It is close to the river as well. It is a very open house without screens nor ceiling fans which would be fine if there was a strong ocean breeze, but there is not. It is right in a protective cove with very little breeze. That's why we have to give this 3 stars =( It's a shame because if there would be adequate mosquito protection it would be an amazing place to stay.

Thanks for your review, just to make it clear that we have 3 bedrooms and each one with air conditioning, if your main concern has been the mosquitos, as it was, the first thing to do is avoid to seat on the beach at the early morning and at the sunset because this is the hours where sun flyes bite you. There are no mosquitos at my place due because we disinfected it every 2 days (when cleanliness is done) and not even one in the bedrooms due air-conditioned and mosquito nets on the beds. I will never put a mosquito screen at the windows due to the fact of the beauty of this house is the open space we offer. Actually, there are reviews from other customers telling how they loved the open spaces we have at Ivans house. Talking about love, as I wrote to VRBO support, I am sad to tell you that you have been the worst customer we have ever had, your arrogance and miss respect for my house first and for all my employes which tried to please you in anything you asked... and you asked a lot, plus your constant hungry mood have been for all my crew a nightmare. Your kids have cut leaves of all my cactus and dug in the garden, why this ?? Why you could not control your kids and set some rules, what funny in bringing a lot of sand and shells into the house, what funny in moving all my furniture, all around the house, taking out from the kitchen drawers all knives, forks and throw them in the shelves all around the house. What funny in cutting papers and cartoons and spread them out all over the garden and the house..what funny in making all my furniture dirty as the outside chairs, pillows and hammocks. We are making a living since 2006 my friend, we have been living in this house up than 10 years, my 2 daughters born there and is not fair actuating as a vandal, you can not talk about love.... you could have studied in a good university but you have not learned the most important things, education, respect, and humility as you have demonstrated during your journey at my place, you were way far away to understand those simple rules. Where do you live and how do you live?? I hope you 'll get this clear and please do not treat any other vacation rental house as you have been treating mine, God bless you In peace, PURA VIDA Ivan

Lovely house on the beach that ends up feeling like your home!
We just returned from our stay at Ivan's House! The place is gorgeous and my girlfriend and I had an excellent time. The home is lovely, open air with the most beautiful views directly of the beach and the ocean... Do you need more? How about sunsets every night that break your heart, night skies filled with stars, walking distance to waterfalls, wildlife, restaurants, night life and some of the ultimately friendliest ticos you will ever come across. Yes... Montezuma was good to us! And a big thanks to Gustavo from Zuma tours (owned by Ivan). His friendliness and helpfulness went far above anything we expected. Ivan the owner brought us fresh caught Mahi Mahi one night that was beyond delicious! The Zuma tour for snorkeling was an excellent experience . We saw humpback whales, sea turtles, octopuses, puffer fish and had a fantastic lunch on the beach on a "private island". What a blast! Special thanks to our snorkeling guide Joelle. He showed us the octopus and let us touch it and snorkeled with us. His love for nature and this beautiful environment were clear to us. We love this place and were sad to leave back up the dusty deserted roads and back to the mainland. But as Gustavo from Zuma said "every goodbye is a new beginning, a new hello."

Amazing Beach House in Montezuma Costa Rica- that you will love!
If you are looking for a wonderful Costa Rician adventure- look no further. We stayed at Ivan's House in Montezuma and had an amazing vacation on an awesome beach. The house was beautiful, clean, open concept, and also has some outdoor living. Bedrooms are air conditioned for comfortable sleeping. Quaint friendly town is just a few steps away for great restaurants, shopping, entertainment, and super market. Zumba tour can get you to Montezuma safely and they are organized and deliver on all their promises-so you can relax they will make it happen and take care of you and communicate as you travel to this destination- believe me we had flight changes due to weather and they made shuttle changes etc as needed- what service from Ivan and Zuma!! Ivan the owner was the best host but never intrusive. New friend of ours for sure. You will absolutely love this vacation home and destination. Enjoy!

Close to everything
If you are looking for an authentic beach house experience, this is it. Ivan's house is clean, comfy and perfectly located. We spent almost all of our time outside (large covered area with table, hammock, chairs and shower.) We hiked to Montezuma Falls, several beaches, to town for all our meals (also a supermarket if you want to prepare your own meals.) Each beach is unique - water shoes recommended. Zuma tours help set up anything you need. Our kids went on the Tortuga Island tour and loved it. We went out for a fishing tour and we all caught fish - great time. They even recommended restaurants, which we tried and really liked. I would highly recommend Montezuma for people looking for a laid-back, relaxing vacation. Ivan and his staff at Zuma are very gracious and welcoming.

Property is only exceeded by Ivan!
Our group of six loved being on the ocean, immediately next to Montezuma's grocery store and restaurants and the Zuma Tours office, the people of which arranged excellent ways to experience the area! Ivan, the owner of the house and Zuma Tours, is a gracious human being. He stopped by many times to make sure everything was OK, responded immediately to our small requests and added smiles to our days when we'd see him in town. The kitchen is well-equipped, we appreciated the A/C in two of the bedrooms and the house cleaner was a bonus. The outdoor shower was used constantly, as were the hammocks and lovely outside table at which we ate and talked. We think this is a special place!

My stay at Ivan's house was beyond my expectation. The location on the beach, proximity to restaurants & available tours made this an amazing vacation. My 10yr old son enjoyed every part of our stay there. Ivan came by to check on us & was awesome with my son. He thinks he works at Zuma tours because of the shirt you gave him.

Best Start to a Great Vacation
We began our two weeks in Costa Rica at Ivan's House. If you're going to Montezuma, stay here. You are right on the beach, but you still have plenty of privacy and the house has everything one could possibly need. If you travel in groups, the three bedrooms each have their own bathrooms so everyone can have some privacy. Wonderful restaurants just steps away. Do take advantage of Ivan's company Zuma Tours and take the snorkel trip out to Tortuga. Ivan's professional crew, guide Joel, captain Jonathan, and chef Wende (sp?) were awesome. You'll get two opportunities to snorkel and then a FABULOUS lunch after. A top-notch operation. We did a snorkel trip in Osa that was twice the price with a questionable lunch. Ivan and crew set the standard. Would absolutely go there again.

Amazing property, Amazing location and Amazing owner
I would give this more then 5 stars if I could. This property is in a perfect location if you want to stay in or near Montezuma. The house itself was amazing and a perfect fit for our family of 5. We took the Zuma speed boat over and it landed right on the beach in front of this property. The Zuma tour staff was so helpful and Ivan himself checked in on us several times to make sure things were going ok. He also dropped by to let us know his friend had just caught a yellow fin tuna and wanted to know if we would like some. He ended up bringing us over a very large chunk of tuna that was sashimi grade and easily worth over $200 USD. Our family enjoyed the fish for the rest of our time in Montezuma. It was a nice central location to the waterfalls, downtown and the turtle preserve. It was located next to a youth hostel, but they were quiet and perfect neighbors the entire time. Also the Wifi at the house was very slow, but I think that is probably the normal for internet in this area because I had the same issues on my cell phone as well. We would also highly recommend any of the Zuma tours that you are interested in. We had the honor getting to ride in the new "big speed boat" that Zuma tours had just acquired and it was such a nice ride. We also would recommend the Zuma tour to Tortuga island. Thank you so much Ivan and staff for the amazing trip to Montezuma!
