About this property
Chez Mu Luxury Villa - Amazing Ocean & Jungle Views 1 Mi/TownNew Pictures!!!
Our recent guests sum it up best:
"Jungle Heaven"
"Chez Mu is a dream. I know it can fit a large group of people, but couples, if you want a secluded place with a gorgeous view, Chez mu is for you. My fiancé actually ended up proposing right out on the pool deck in front of the gorgeous pacific view."
"A truly beautiful home in an incredible setting, so much so, you just don't want to leave. Ever."
"Simply put, Chez Mu is fantastic. Beautiful, modern, comfortable, well-maintained."
Chez Mu is nestled on a breezy hilltop above Montezuma. The Villa offers tropical luxury at its finest. It has just been remodeled, with a new pool and modern furnishings. The Villa can accommodate a large family or several couples. The home is in the middle of a lush 3.7 acre property, which allows for privacy and tranquility. White faced and howler monkeys, as well as parrots. hummingbirds and many other varieties of birds can be seen on the property. The hilltop setting provides panoramic views of the jungle and ocean, as well as a steady and refreshing breeze (and no mosquitoes!). Plenty of deck space near the pool could become the backdrop for a very special wedding party and is perfect for yoga.
It is only 5 minutes (1.4 miles) from downtown Montezuma (cozy town with amazing beaches), 15 minute drive from Cobano (bank, doctor, supermarket) and 25 minutes from Malpais (incredible sunsets and surfing). We recommend renting a 4WD car to be able to fully explore the area.
Chez Mu is the perfect honeymoon retreat, or pampering base camp for your family's tropical adventure!

About the host
Hosted by Mike
Hello! This is Mike and along with my wife Linda, daughter Jenny and son-in-law Tyler, we are the proud new owners of Chez Mu. We visited Chez Mu at the end of May 2017 and completely fell in love with this magical property in Montezuma and had to buy it. We completed the transaction in July with the former owners Eric, David & Luis, who had owned Chez Mu since 2006. They put their heart and soul into making Chez Mu a dream escape and we plan on continuing that vision. We welcome our new friends via VRBO to come share it with us!
Why they chose this property
Montezuma is unique among beach destinations in Guanacaste and Nicoya. For years, this remote village and its surrounding beaches, forests and waterfalls have enjoyed near-legendary status among backpackers, UFO seekers, hippie expatriates, and European budget travelers. Although it maintains its alternative vibe, Montezuma has emerged as a great destination for all manner of travelers looking for a beach retreat surrounded by some stunning scenery. An Italian influence can be felt in the outstanding restaurants in the area. Active pursuits abound, from hiking in the Cabo Blanco Absolute Nature Reserve to horseback riding to a beach-side waterfall. The house itself is also walking distance to a Canopy (zip-line) Tour and a Butterfly Farm. As ever, it's the natural beauty, miles of almost abandoned beaches, rich wildlife, and jungle waterfalls that first made Montezuma famous, and they continue to make this one of the favorite beach towns in Costa Rica.
What makes this property unique
Jungle and ocean views in 360 degrees.
Just minutes away from Montezuma and all the unspoiled beaches down towards Cabuya and Malpais/Santa Teresa.
