From clients, tenants and guests across the Southern Zone. These are the people I've had the honour of working with, hosting, and helping settle into Costa Rica.
We had a great experience with Jules today. She took my dad and me around Ojochal to show us a few properties, and even before meeting in person, she spent about 20 minutes on the phone with us to really understand what we're looking for and what would suit us best. We actually started out with a completely different idea, and Jules truly helped open our eyes to what makes sense in this area — where to focus, what works long term, and what to look out for when investing. Her insights were incredibly valuable, and she even showed us her own rental cabin to get some ideas and inspiration, which made everything feel very real and practical. Jules is clearly very smart and business-minded, but at the same time kind, thoughtful, and easy to talk to. What stood out most is that she genuinely shares her knowledge and experience, not just to sell something, but to actually help you make the right decision. That's rare and something we really appreciated.

Jules has made moving to a foreign country such a positive experience. She's prepped us in a way no other could, giving us all the ins and outs. More contacts than we could have ever known to ask for and made us feel safe, comfortable and well taken care of coming to a whole new country. And because of her our love for Costa Rica is so much more. She has been absolutely incredible working with us around the clock from design, site visits, sourcing out contractors for the work and always ensuring we get the best price possible. She's so knowledgeable not only from a design aspect but really knows how to get what you want/need in CR without all the hassles and headaches. She truly has been the backbone to our house build and has made every single step of our journey an enjoyable one. We've been so fortunate having her.

Jules is an incredible asset to anyone in the real estate and development world here in Costa Rica. I've turned to her countless times for design inspiration, guidance, and reliable contacts—she always has the right people and solutions at her fingertips. Her creativity and resourcefulness bring a unique vision to every project, and her hardworking, dedicated approach is genuinely inspiring. Jules doesn't just help get things done; she elevates every project she touches, making things feel seamless and well-coordinated. Her drive, reliability, and natural problem-solving ability have made her an invaluable resource in my work, and I can't recommend her highly enough.

Jules is amazing. Literally anytime something breaks or leaks, I have someone at my house within 24 hours to repair or replace. She is 11/10.

I have managed properties for others and some that I have owned. Jules is first rate and a very considerate manager who I would have been proud to have on my team in the U.S. She understands that each morning you are here to solve problems and put out fires. She does it with compassion, urgency and with a smile on her face. I spent 2 months at a property she managed and I could always count on her professionalism and attention to details that made me feel at home. Highly recommend her!

One of the main reasons we've been hesitant about long-term rentals in the past is that things often take too long to get done. This place was originally out of our budget, but over time, it has proven to be well worth it. Jules has been incredibly attentive to every detail—we both feel listened to and well taken care of. Issues are rarely left unresolved for more than a day. We also share the space closely with others, yet there's a great sense of harmony. It feels like the tenant selection has been carefully curated to ensure a positive and comfortable living experience for everyone.

What a magic time in Ojochal! The only regret: staying only one month. Jules' casita was perfect. The outdoor living space was a big wow factor. We spent so much time outside. We were with a baby, so the generator and the air-conditioning were life changing during our stay. You will find anything you need at the house. And what about the host? Jules is so amazing! She truly cares about the people staying with her. She is super reactive and proactive. She made our stay perfectly comfortable and made it super easy with baby. She was also super useful for tips and recommendations. In brief, I 100% recommend you to stay with Jules in Ojochal.

From the moment I arrived as a newcomer, Jules became a guiding lantern in this jungle-hugged corner of Costa Rica. Her local knowledge stretches in every direction—roads, resources, builders, zoning quirks, hidden gems—and she shares it all with a kind of genuine eagerness that makes you feel instantly at home. She doesn't just answer questions; she anticipates them, offering the sort of insight only someone deeply rooted in the community can provide. Her container home is a quiet masterpiece—thoughtful, airy, and wrapped in a serenity that feels almost curated. The oversized exterior deck dissolves the boundary between the structure and the landscape, letting the breeze, birdsong, and soft shifting greens wander straight through the living space. It creates a gentle, effortless flow that invites you to take a deeper breath and stay awhile. Jules also has a keen pulse on the local real estate market and building practices. She understands what's shifting, what's emerging, and what to avoid—knowledge that becomes a powerful compass for anyone hoping to relocate or invest here. Her perspective is both practical and future-minded, a rare combination. Then there's her beautiful store—an unexpected treasure chest packed with items you simply can't find elsewhere in the area. Her eye for quality is unmistakable, and her shelves feel like a love letter to good design, useful living, and the quiet luxuries that make a house feel like a home. It's the kind of place where you walk in for one thing and walk out with possibilities. Beyond all that, Jules is the definition of a sharp businesswoman who still manages to mother with grace. Her three daughters are warm, kind, and grounded—living proof of the heart behind everything she builds. In a place where starting fresh can feel like both an adventure and a maze, Jules is the rare person who makes the path clearer, brighter, and far more welcoming. Anyone lucky enough to cross her orbit gains not just information, but a sense of belonging.

I am currently renting one of Jules properties that she listed in May. She immediately answered my inquiry, sent a great video tour (because I was out of the country) and answered all my questions. We received all the paperwork, signed the lease and that whole process was very easy. Upon my arrival she sent all the information I would need to get to the house and it is easily the best house I have ever rented and it is so helpful knowing that Jules is around for anything I need. Not only does she know everything about this zone and has the best refferals for everything, but she is also very on top of any repairs that need to be done and very quick to respond to anything. I am so grateful to have met her through renting this home and I know that this business is a great asset and resource for everyone who works with her.

We had everything organized from the beginning to the end of our trip and no detail was spared! Jules is meticulous with care, professionalism and attention and we always felt like our needs were met even before we ever had to ask! Costa Rica is a gorgeous country and it can be hard to navigate travel details let alone activities, food and accommodations sight unseen! We were provided with an abundance of advice and recommendations, along with the coziest most beautiful modern amenities. We feel so lucky to have found the Conscious Concierge to assist with every aspect of our vacation!
