Tree House

This is one of six houses at Tree House Lodge, a 10-acre oceanfront ecolodge south of Puerto Viejo de Talamanca in Limon, Costa Rica. The Tree House itself sits on tall stilts, wrapped in forest canopy, with a sloped wooden suspension bridge leading up to the front door — a setup that leans into a back-to-childhood feel rather than polished luxury.

The lodge property borders the Gandoca-Manzanillo wildlife refuge and sits a short walk from the white sand of Punta Uva beach. Expect an open-air, jungle-immersed stay with wifi available despite the remote feel, and waterfront access as part of the wider grounds. Wildlife, bird sound, and the general hum of rainforest come with the territory.

Guests come here for canopy tours, fishing, jungle hikes, and a slower pace than a standard hotel offers. The lodge also runs jungle fitness sessions seven days a week and hosts beach weddings for those looking to make an occasion of the visit. It suits couples and families drawn to an authentic, off-the-beaten-path version of Costa Rica over a conventional resort.

Booking runs through Cloudbeds via the official site. The property can be reached by phone, with front-desk hours generally running 7am to 5pm on weekdays and shorter hours on weekends. The address places it 300 meters east from the Playa Chiquita school, so a GPS pin or a call ahead is useful for the final stretch in.
