Casa Los Howlers is a true jungle sanctuary located in Playa Negra, just north of Puerto Viejo on Costa Rica’s southern Caribbean coast. Tucked beneath a canopy of mature trees along a quiet creek, this one-of-a-kind property offers complete privacy while remaining just 300 meters from the beach and minutes from restaurants, surf breaks, and daily conveniences. Designed to immerse its residents in nature, the home blends modern comfort with open spaces, natural light, and constant connection to the surrounding wildlife. Most notably are the resident troop of howler monkeys that give the home its name.
“Casa Los Howlers isn’t just near nature. You live inside it. From the rooftop deck to the creekside courtyard, every space was designed to experience the jungle, not just observe it.”
Terri Kaminski, The Agency Costa RicaThe main residence was designed around light and the surrounding landscape. Floor-to-ceiling windows and dramatic two-story glass panels frame the jungle canopy, filling the interior with natural light and constant greenery. The open-concept layout seamlessly connects the kitchen, dining, and living areas beneath soaring ceilings, extending outward to an outdoor terrace that invites indoor–outdoor living year-round.
The home features two spacious and identical primary suites, each with its own en-suite bathroom. Across the landscaped garden, a fully finished container guest house adds versatility, ideal for visiting friends, staff accommodations, or long-term rental income. One of the property’s most distinctive features is its rooftop jungle observation deck, intentionally designed for wildlife viewing. From this elevated platform, you can watch howler monkeys move through the treetops at eye level, a uniquely Caribbean Costa Rican experience that defines the spirit of the home.
