About this house rental

This gated, three-bedroom (all with A/C and ceiling fans), property is wonderfully located just minutes from the beaches and restaurants of Uvita.

Guests absolutely love the private swimming pool with views of the nearby Pacific Ocean and Cano Island National Park in the distance (great place for snorkeling, whale watching and ocean tours). Uvita is home to the world-famous 'Whales Tail' beach formation at Ballena National Park, coffee shops, grocery stores, banks and clinics.

The entry level floor has two bedrooms, a full bathroom and free-to-use laundry facilities. One bedroom has two single beds and the other bedroom has a queen sized bed.

As guests go up the stairs and arrive on the second floor, they are welcomed with vaulted ceilings, a spacious open floor plan with a modern kitchen, a TV area with a SmartTV to enjoy Netflix etc, and a wall of windows to enjoy the ocean views, the nearby jungle and the amazing surroundings.

The master bedroom is also upstairs and has a king-size bed with a large en-suite bathroom with a walk-in shower and dual sinks, providing plenty of space with wonderful views.

The swimming pool and outdoor living space is an absolutely fantastic! There are lounge chairs to relax by the pool and a separate eating area/grill area all on the same level as the patio. Enjoy your morning coffee or evening cocktail with the sounds of toucans, scarlet macaws and howler monkeys. What makes our home so special is the observation deck, which puts you out into the jungle, allowing great views and animal encounters.

Uvita is one of the Central Pacific's best kept secrets. The beaches are beautiful, the hills are lush, wildlife is abundant and its the perfect place to surf, horseback ride or just relax.

Our home is professionally cleaned between each guest using all organic cleaners, making the home clean and safe for your arrival. We also supply goats milk hand soaps for your use while staying with us.

If you are looking for a beautiful beach destination that is far less developed than Manuel Antonio, yet offering some amazing food options, Uvita is a fantastic alternative. The highlight is Marino Ballena National Park, featuring the famous sandy "Whale Tail" where migrating humpback whales can be seen just offshore. You can whale watch, dolphin watch or snorkel. There are plenty of other beaches in the area also (Playa Tortuga, Playa Ventanas, Playa Garza - just to name a few).

For the more adventurous guests, there are:
Zipline adventures
ATV Tours
Over a dozen waterfalls to visit. Swimming is optional, weather and safety permitting.
Horseback riding on the beach (even better during a sunset)
Horseback riding to beautiful waterfalls
SCUBA diving at Caño Island

Drive to a number of waterfalls with minimal hiking required
Deep sea fishing
River fishing
Wildlife rescue center where sloths, monkeys and exotic birds are rehabilitated

Uvita also makes a great base for exploring Dominical (12 miles North) which is a fun, funky hippie and counterculturist enclave with great shops, dining, live music, candlelight yoga, spas, bars and beach. The tiny town of Ojochal is 9 miles to the South and is know as one of the best foodie town in Costa Rica. Ojochal also offers easy access to Playa Ventanas, a small and beautiful beach famous for its sea caves.

My family of 6 (my hubby and I and our 4 boys) absolutely LOVED this incredible home! It is so well equipped with EVERYTHING you can think off! It is spacious, AC’s in each bedroom, huge windows, toucan birds above the stunning swimming pool, a sloth who frequently visits and monkeys howling now and again. The property manager Natasha and her husband Yerry is fantastic!! She is so kind and friendly, responds immediately when needed and her recommendations were spot on. She also speaks fluent English being from Canada originally. Natasha honestly became a friend. We were truly sad to leave this amazing property!!! It was the best 12 days in the jungle but 8mins from the beach. The local grocery store is 10mins drive, and there are lots of restaurants to choose from. If I could give this property 20/10 I would’ve lol The owner honestly made this a home away from home

The house was amazing and everything that we expected and more from the listing! It has gorgeous views and is impeccably maintained. Natasha (the property manager) went above and beyond. She met us to make sure we got to the property okay, walked us through the house making sure to answer any questions, kept in contact during the stay, was a great resource for questions and met us on our day of departure to help us check out. This was the best VRBO experience we have had (and we have had some amazing ones)!

Spent nearly 2 weeks in Uvita Costa Rica. This is a very nice house that a great view. We really enjoyed being on the balcony and being able to look at the ocean from the pool. The wild life we saw from the balcony was great as well. We saw some howler monkeys in the trees right next to the balcony a few of the mornings. There were several tucans that visited us and we even saw a sloth on the last day! We really enjoyed our time there.

The house, the town of Uvita, the restaurants, the excursions, Natasha - all so wonderful and an vacation we will never forget! In the morning and afternoons we saw sloths (2 of them!), toucans, monkeys, and lizards. We would have loved to stay longer in this beautiful country but hope to be back. Thank you Natasha ☺️

The property was beautiful. It was in a great area with many places to eat along with many excursions to do less than 10 minutes away. The view from the pool was awesome! We saw lots of wildlife from the comfort of the pool.

We loved our stay at this beautiful home! The house was equipped with everything we needed from plenty of bath and beach towels to a fully stocked kitchen and even a cooler to take to the beach. And, the house was VERY clean! We enjoyed having the pool right on the deck and loved the view from the deck. A pair of Toucans made that house their place to visit daily, which was very entertaining for us. We also saw Macaws daily and monkeys in the distant trees. Natasha, the property manager was so attentive and helped us with everything we needed, including securing us beach chairs and umbrella rentals at Playa Hermosa. The location is great because you feel a part of the rainforest, but can still see the ocean off in the distance. It would have been nice to be able to walk to the local restaurants, but you will have to drive from the house to get to town. It's not far, but the road is very steep to get to the house. I would HIGHLY recommend this wonderful home to anyone who plans to visit beautiful Uvita, Costa Rica!
