GUEST EXPECTATIONS — PLEASE READ BEFORE YOU BOOK:
ADULTS ONLY (21+)
White Noise Costa Rica is intentionally designed for adults seeking rest, reconnection, and tranquility.
OPEN-CONCEPT LIVING
The Pond House is designed as a fully open-concept home, with no interior doors or enclosed rooms—including the bathroom.
This intentional layout creates a light-filled, flowing space that stays deeply connected to the surrounding jungle.
It’s ideal for guests who enjoy openness, ease, and a more natural, shared living experience.
For those who prefer more defined privacy, we’re happy to guide you toward one of our other homes on the property.
A PRIVATE RETREAT WITHIN A SHARED NATURE SANCTUARY
Set within 50 acres of protected jungle, out boutique retreat includes four private residences along the Rio Damitas.
Each home offers its own private entrance and dedicated space for privacy. The surrounding river and jungle trails are shared, and you may occasionally see or hear other guests enjoying the land.
We live quietly on the property and are available if needed, while always respecting your privacy.
ECO-CONSCIOUS LIVING
To protect the environment, we operate on sensitive septic system. Toilet paper is place in the provided bin rather than flushed.
As a rural jungle property, occasional power outages, heavy rains, or access delays may occur – especially during the green season. This is part of the natural rhythm of Costa Rica.
OUR LOCATION
Located just 10-12 minutes from Route 34, the final stretch is a scenic dirt road leading into the rainforest, suitable for all vehicle types.
We are part of the small local community of Damas. Guests may occasionally hear everyday life — children playing, farm activity, vehicles, or local gatherings – adding to the authentic character of the area.
A TRUE JUNGLE EXPERIENCE
Our homes are immersed in nature. You will encounter wildlife — frogs, geckos, insects, and more.
This is not a sealed hotel environment, but thoughtfully designed space within the rainforest

A SHARED RESPONSIBIILITY
This space is deeply personal to us. We ask that you treat it with care respect, and intention.
Each stay supports the land, the local community, and the continuation of this experience.
