It sleeps two, or four with the sofa bed, and suits couples, business travelers, remote workers and anyone who wants a comfortable first or last night near the airport.\n\nThe living room is the size of most apartments: a sectional sofa and two leather armchairs face the glass, with a dining table, a work desk and a smart TV with cable and streaming.

The cabin is 15 to 20 minutes by car from Santa Elena.\n\nThe cabin is clad in wood inside, with a queen bed under pendant lights, a wall-mounted TV, and a two-person jacuzzi in the same room behind a frosted glass screen. The bathroom has a stone-tiled rain shower, a wood vanity and hot water. A kitchenette along the window has a two-burner cooktop, a toaster oven, a microwave, a coffee maker with the farm's own coffee, a sink and a small dining table for two. Sliding glass doors open the whole front of the cabin to the deck, where a bench faces the plantation, and a rope net stretched over the slope is the spot guests lie on to watch the hills. A fire pit, a BBQ grill and an outdoor dining area are outside, and parking is private.\n\nThe four reviews so far are all five stars, and one guest extended a few nights into ten days. They describe the view over the coffee and the hills, how secluded and clean the cabin is, the net, and the Tres Mares team, who met one couple in person, gave recommendations and arranged a taxi when language was a problem. Breakfast at the farm cafe and the self-guided coffee walk are the other two things people mention.\n\nBring a warm layer: Monteverde is cool at night. The access road is gravel and bumpy, and a standard car handles it; one guest without four-wheel drive confirmed it. Water pressure at the kitchen sink is low.

It sleeps two on a queen bed, three with an air mattress, and suits couples and solo travelers who have a car and want quiet nights more than a walk to restaurants.\n\nThe loft is one bright room with wood and rattan finishes. The queen bed has a memory-foam mattress and faces the glass door to a small balcony; a full-height mirror, a coat stand and a bench take the luggage. The kitchenette runs under a corner window: two-burner stove, mini fridge, microwave, toaster, blender and a drip coffee maker, with local coffee and tea on the house. A high wooden table with three stools doubles as dining table and desk, with the same view. The bathroom is private, with hot water in the shower. Outside there is a patio, a garden that is not fully fenced, and three parking spaces on the driveway.\n\nGuests write about the view at sunrise and sunset more than anything else, then about how clean the loft is, the comfortable bed and the value. One guest said washing dishes had never been so pleasant. Most say the place looks exactly like the photos, and that our team and the manager were easy to reach and quick to help. A small fan heater is in the loft for cold, rainy evenings, and it gets used.\n\nThe first thing to know is the driveway: the last stretch to the loft is short, steep and gravel. A standard car manages in dry weather and several guests did it in a two-wheel drive, but a 4x4 or an SUV makes it easier, and you should arrive in daylight the first time. There is no air conditioning; two fans are provided and the loft can get warm on a sunny afternoon, although nights are cool. Hot water is in the shower only, and it runs warmer at lower pressure. The windows let in the light early, so bring a sleep mask if you sleep late. You may hear animals on the roof at night and, some nights, the neighbor's dogs. The loft sits in the forest, so you may see insects; the property runs periodic pest control. It is not suitable for infants under two, and there are no restaurants within walking distance, so bring groceries from Santa Elena.\n\nCheck-in is self-service with a keypad from 15:00, and someone from our team or the manager can meet you in person if you prefer. If the loft is clean before that, early check-in from 11:00 is possible on request; if not, you can leave your bags while the clean finishes.

A sleep mask helps too, because the windows let in the early light." }, { "q": "Is there hot water?", "a": "Yes, in the shower. The kitchen tap runs cold. The shower runs warmer at lower pressure, so turn it down if it feels lukewarm. The bathroom is private and inside the loft." }, { "q": "Is there a kitchen?", "a": "A kitchenette.

There are no luggage lockers in Monteverde, so this matters." }, { "q": "Is it quiet?", "a": "Mostly. The loft is private with no restaurants or traffic nearby, and guests come for that.

Bedroom one has a king bed, air conditioning and a ceiling fan; bedroom two has two bunk beds, each with a double below and a single above, and its own air conditioning. Two full bathrooms serve the house. The kitchen has a refrigerator, microwave, coffee maker and cooking basics, with a long wooden dining table for six, and the living room has a sectional sofa, a TV and a desk with Wi-Fi measured at 118 Mbps. Outside, a hammock hangs by the pool under a big umbrella, with a basketball hoop on the wall, and there are children's books, toys, dinnerware and beach gear. A washer is in the house, parking is at the front, and check-in is by lockbox between 15:00 and 20:00.\n\nTo get around Punta Leona, the house has a Club Car golf cart and a Can-Am Mule for guests to rent. The Mule is a high-performance off-road vehicle, as fun as it is practical, for getting around Punta Leona. Ask us which ones are available for your dates, and the price.\n\nGuests praise communication, which scores a perfect 5.0 across 37 reviews, then the pool, the quiet and safety of the residential, and a kitchen that lets you cook as at home. Families say the kids loved the pool and the beach was close. Several mention scarlet macaws, the lapas, in the trees around the house, and one guest wrote that our team was understanding about traveling with elderly parents.\n\nWith small children, start with the pool: it has no gate and sits between the bedrooms and the kitchen, so keep floaties on them and one adult watching. The kitchen side of the house gets hot in the afternoon and has fans rather than air conditioning. The beach is about 15 minutes on foot, further than the listing suggests; Playa Blanca and Playa Limoncito are beyond Playa Mantas.

The living room has a gray sectional sofa, a dining table for four and a 48-inch TV set up for streaming with your own accounts (there is no cable). The kitchen has a refrigerator with freezer, microwave, kettle, coffee maker, toaster and rice cooker, and one bedroom has a desk and chair if you need to work. Each of the three bedrooms has a bed for two with reading lamps, room-darkening blinds and a coat rack. The single bathroom has a large marble-tiled shower with plenty of hot water. A washer and dryer sit in the laundry room and are available on request for a 20 dollar fee.

They describe the house as clean, the beds as comfortable and the street as quiet even with the wind blowing at night. Several mention feeling safe with the car parked out front, and families of four say it worked well.\n\nThe main thing to know is that there is one bathroom for six people, so plan your mornings. The house is simple: guests have asked for more towel hooks and shelf space in the bathroom, and the windows have no screens, so close them at dusk if insects bother you. The laundry costs extra and the washer is a semi-automatic type. A spider or two is part of living at the edge of a cloud forest; we sent someone the next morning when a guest asked.\n\nBecause this is the stopover house, the arrival perks matter here more than anywhere else. If the house is clean before 15:00, we let you in from 11:00; one family got in early because the previous guests left early. If it is not ready, you can drop your bags and go for lunch or a tour while the clean finishes; Monteverde has no luggage lockers.

Two queen beds sit under a backlit wood headboard with a ceiling fan and air conditioning above, and the glass wall at the end opens onto a deck with a white dining table and a wooden bench. The kitchenette has a two-burner stove, refrigerator with freezer, microwave, toaster, blender and a drip coffee maker, with dishes and cooking basics on open shelves.

It sleeps up to four across two queen beds in one open room, and it suits couples, solo travelers and remote workers better than families with small children.\n\nThe loft is one long open space. The two queen beds sit side by side against the glass, so you see the valley from the pillow; the linens and extra blankets are the ones guests keep mentioning in reviews. Behind the beds a full kitchen runs along the wall: stove, oven, refrigerator, microwave, coffee maker, wine glasses and a concrete island with three stools. The bathroom is at the far end, with a walk-in rain shower, a vessel sink and hot water; the hot water reaches the shower, not the kitchen tap. The deck wraps the glass side of the container with two swivel chairs and a small table, and that is where you will spend most of your time. Portable fans and a portable heater are in the loft, a washer and dryer in the building below are available on request, and four cars fit on the driveway.\n\nGuests praise the view first, in every kind of weather: fog rolling through, clear sunsets, and stars and fireflies once the lights are off. Then come the beds, the shower with its strong water pressure, the quiet, and our team, who answer messages and have helped guests rent a car and pick tours. Wildlife shows up outside the window during the day. The location gets the same praise: the Reserve entrance is a walk away and the restaurants of Santa Elena a short drive.\n\nBefore you book, know that Kapetsowa is a steel container on a hillside. In strong wind it makes noise; most guests sleep through it, and light sleepers should bring earplugs. The deck and entrance have gaps wide enough for a small child to slip through, so the loft is not suitable for infants or children. There is no smoke alarm and no carbon monoxide alarm (all appliances are electric), exterior cameras cover the driveway, ramp and parking, and you arm an alarm each time you leave. It rains here, and there is a hose under the loft for muddy shoes. The loft has hosted guests for years, so expect a lived-in container rather than a brand-new one.\n\nWe run Kapetsowa with self check-in by lockbox from 15:00. If the loft is clean before that, we let you in from 11:00; if it is not, you can leave your bags while the clean finishes, which matters in Monteverde because the town has no luggage lockers.

Santa Elena town is about 6 minutes away by car." }, { "q": "Is the loft noisy when it rains or when the wind blows?", "a": "Rain on the roof sounds like white noise and most guests like it. Strong wind is different: the container makes noise on windy nights, and one guest called it a lot. Bring earplugs if you are a light sleeper and check the season." }, { "q": "Is there hot water and heating?", "a": "Yes to hot water in the shower, and guests praise the pressure. The kitchen tap runs cold. There is no central heating; a portable heater is in the loft for cold nights, and portable fans for warm afternoons. Monteverde is cool, so pack a layer." }, { "q": "Is the Wi-Fi good enough for remote work?", "a": "Yes. The listing describes fast Wi-Fi for remote work and streaming, and the concrete island doubles as a desk with the forest in front of you. There is no separate office, so if two people need to take calls at once, plan around the one room." }, { "q": "Is Kapetsowa suitable for children?", "a": "No. The deck and entrance have gaps wide enough for a small child to fall through, and we list the loft as not suitable for children or infants. The two queen beds sleep up to four adults." }, { "q": "Can you help us book a night tour?", "a": "Yes. We help guests book night walks so a one or two night stay sees more wildlife; tell us your dates when you book. The Reserve trails are also walkable from the loft first thing in the morning." } ], "imageCount": 24, "thumbnail": "https://cdn.bambootechstudio.com/listings/tresmares/kapetsowa-container-loft/01-1600.jpg", "status": "available", "publishedAt": "2026-09-16", "currency": "USD", "timezone": "America/Costa_Rica", "ratingCheckedAt": "2026-09-16", "updatedAt": "2026-09-16", "areaSlug": "monteverde", "areaUrl": "https://tresmares.co/costa-rica/monteverde/", "urlEs": "https://tresmares.co/es/alojamientos/kapetsowa-container-loft/", "areaUrlEs": "https://tresmares.co/es/costa-rica/monteverde/", "images": [ { "url": "https://cdn.bambootechstudio.com/listings/tresmares/kapetsowa-container-loft/01-1600.jpg", "alt": "Kapetsowa container loft on stilts with glass wall above the Monteverde forest" }, { "url": "https://cdn.bambootechstudio.com/listings/tresmares/kapetsowa-container-loft/02-1600.jpg", "alt": "Two queen beds against the glass wall with the valley beyond" }, { "url": "https://cdn.bambootechstudio.com/listings/tresmares/kapetsowa-container-loft/03-1600.jpg", "alt": "Rainbow over the black container loft seen from the driveway" }, { "url": "https://cdn.bambootechstudio.com/listings/tresmares/kapetsowa-container-loft/04-1600.jpg", "alt": "Concrete kitchen island with three wooden stools and pendant lights" }, { "url": "https://cdn.bambootechstudio.com/listings/tresmares/kapetsowa-container-loft/05-1600.jpg", "alt": "Two swivel chairs on the deck facing the clouded hills" }, { "url": "https://cdn.bambootechstudio.com/listings/tresmares/kapetsowa-container-loft/06-1600.jpg", "alt": "Full kitchen with stove, oven, open shelves and concrete counters" }, { "url": "https://cdn.bambootechstudio.com/listings/tresmares/kapetsowa-container-loft/07-1600.jpg", "alt": "Kitchen corner opening to the deck and the green slope" }, { "url": "https://cdn.bambootechstudio.com/listings/tresmares/kapetsowa-container-loft/08-1600.jpg", "alt": "White bedding on two queen beds under the glass roof" } ] }, { "slug": "kirkland-juanita-beach-home", "url": "https://tresmares.co/stays/kirkland-juanita-beach-home/", "title": "Juanita Beach Home", "ref": "KW-JUANITA-BEACH", "name": "Juanita Beach Home", "tagline": "A remodeled three-bedroom home with a king bed, AC and a fire pit deck in Kirkland, 20 minutes from Seattle", "propertyType": "house", "area": "Kirkland", "locality": "Kirkland", "region": "WA", "country": "US", "maxGuests": 6, "bedrooms": 3, "beds": 3, "bathrooms": 2, "amenities": [ "view", "washer", "dryer", "tv", "ac", "heating", "smoke-alarm", "wifi", "workspace", "kitchen", "dishwasher", "coffee-maker", "terrace", "parking", "pet-friendly", "self-checkin" ], "guestPerks": [ "local-tips" ], "checkInTime": "15:00", "checkOutTime": "11:00", "minNights": 2, "priceFrom": 348, "airbnbUrl": "https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/42415041", "airbnbListingId": "42415041", "airbnbRating": 4.82, "reviewCount": 71, "superhost": true, "bookingMode": "airbnb", "geo": { "lat": 47.72588, "lng": -122.19601 }, "description": "Juanita Beach Home is the remodeled upper floor of a house in the Juanita neighborhood of Kirkland, Washington State, with three bedrooms, a king bed, two bathrooms, air conditioning and a covered deck with a fire pit, 20 minutes from Seattle. It sleeps six and suits families, people visiting the Eastside for work, and anyone here for a game, a race or a long stay who wants a quiet residential street with off-street parking.\n\nYou enter by the front door and seven steps up to the main floor, which is open plan. A white L-shaped sofa and an armchair sit around a 50-inch Fire TV, with a dining table for six and a desk for work. The kitchen has a granite peninsula, electric range, microwave, dishwasher, refrigerator and coffee maker. Bedroom one has the king bed with a dresser and mirrored closets; bedrooms two and three each have a bed for two and a closet. The two full bathrooms have tub-showers and heated floors that switch on with the light in the cold months. A stacked washer and dryer are in the unit. The covered deck has a lounge set around a fire pit table and loungers along the rail. A 24,000 BTU split air conditioner in the living room cools the whole floor, and there is heating for winter. Two cars park in tandem on the driveway, with more room on the street.\n\nGuests praise cleanliness, the new furnishings, the comfortable beds, the quiet street, the off-street parking and the air conditioning, which is rare around Seattle, along with the quick replies from Sharon, who co-hosts, and the rest of our team. Long stays are common; one guest stayed four months for a work assignment and another for six weeks. The owner lives downstairs in an independent unit, has shoveled snow for guests, and helps when something needs attention.\n\nThe rental is the upper floor only. The garage and the backyard are not part of it; the deck is your outdoor space. The entrance has seven stairs, so we list the home as not suitable for infants and small children, and adults with mobility limits should ask first. The house is a busy short-term rental and shows some wear, and guests have reported small maintenance items such as a TV volume fault that was fixed promptly; tell us and things get handled. Quiet hours run from 22:00 to 08:00, pets are allowed, and smoking and parties are not.

Guests visiting in summer mention it as a plus, since it is uncommon in Seattle-area homes." }, { "q": "Is the house suitable for children?", "a": "We list it as not suitable for infants and small children because the entrance has seven stairs. Families with older children have stayed happily; a family of three used two of the three bedrooms. Ask if you are unsure about the stairs." }, { "q": "Can we stay for a month or longer?", "a": "Yes.

Playa Blanca is further along the sand or reachable with the club's transport for a paid bracelet." }, { "q": "Is there hot water?", "a": "Warm, by design. The showers are set to a fixed warm temperature, and one repeat guest wanted it hotter. If you like a hot shower, mention it when you book so we can look at the setting." }, { "q": "Does the house have air conditioning?", "a": "Yes, in almost every room, with mini splits in the bedrooms and ceiling fans throughout, which a guest called a good thing because it gets very hot here.

It is one of a pair of houses: Lapas Paradise is next door, the two share the pool, the rancho, a half bath and the garage, and you can book both together as Lapas Leona Home. It sleeps up to eight in two bedrooms with five beds and two and a half bathrooms (two full, plus a half bath by the pool shared with Lapas Paradise next door), and it suits families and two couples who want the beach at Playa Mantas on foot and a first or last night close to SJO.\n\nThe ground floor is one open space under a double-height ceiling with rattan pendant lamps: a kitchen with a marble-look island and bar stools, an induction cooktop, oven, refrigerator with water dispenser, coffee maker, rice cooker and air fryer. A round wooden dining table and a sitting area with a TV share the space. Glass doors slide open onto the terrace, an artificial-turf garden and the pool. A floating wooden stair leads to two bedrooms with air conditioning and ceiling fans; a third bedroom stays locked. There are two full bathrooms, and by the pool and rancho a half bath shared with Lapas Paradise. You also get an outdoor shower for the sand, a paid washer and dryer, a BBQ grill with utensils, and Wi-Fi measured at 119 Mbps. A keypad handles self check-in, and parking is on the premises and on the street.\n\nThree reviews so far, all five stars. Guests describe the feeling when you first walk in, a house that looks better than the photos, and a pair of scarlet macaws in the trees outside. We kept in touch through the trip, left a welcome gift, and were flexible on arrival and departure. Children loved the pool.\n\nKnow before you book that the pool and rancho can be shared with the house next door when it is booked at the same time. If you need the pool to yourselves, ask us before booking or book this house and Lapas Paradise together as Lapas Leona Home. Playa Mantas is on foot. Playa Blanca is along the sand from Mantas or by paid club bracelet, which also opens the club's pools and restaurant. Raccoons live in the neighborhood: keep the back doors closed. Quiet hours run 21:00 to 08:00, pets are not allowed, and the condominium does not permit commercial photography. Rinse sand at the hose out front and shower before the pool. The pool is salt water rather than chlorine, easier on eyes and skin.\n\nCheck-in is from 15:00 by keypad.

This is a simple Costa Rican beach house that has stood here for over 50 years.\n\nThe house is single story and airy, built with an open ceiling so the sea breeze moves through. The living room has black rattan sofas and armchairs, a long wooden dining table for eight and a TV. The kitchen has a refrigerator with freezer, a cooktop, a microwave, a toaster oven, a kettle, a coffee maker, a blender and a rice cooker, with a wide window to the palms.

A white picket gate opens from the garden to the beach, and the garden has palms and bougainvillea. A small separate house on the property is private and lived in; the resident has no key to the main house and guests describe her as very kind.\n\nGuests write about waking up to the ocean, breakfast looking at the waves, the sunset every night, a beach with mostly locals and no crowds, strong Wi-Fi and cold air conditioning, comfortable beds, and a kitchen with everything needed to cook.
