If you’re on the fence about booking this home, don’t hesitate—just do it! Our family of 5 adults from ages 24-60 thoroughly enjoyed staying in the absolutely gorgeous, well-appointed, beautifully decorated and clean home! The hosts are very friendly and responsive, and Stephanie their local house manager and concierge is super nice, helpful, and very easy to communicate with! The location is perfect as it’s just a short 7-8 minute walk to the beach with a good Mexican restaurant and some cute “sodas” on the same street (be sure to get a smoothie!) The grocery store on the corner is a 5 minute walk, and since we rented a car at the Alamo right in Uvita, we were able to drive the nicely paved road to some great restaurants in Uvita and visit places like Quepos for a zip lining tour and Dominical for a wonderful jungle tour/hike to waterfalls (and great restaurants in Dominical—just a 25 minute drive!) The JungleATV tour in Uvita is a must and their office is just a 5 minute drive from the house. Back to the house—loved the location, but of course loved the gorgeous pool and yard, the kitchen had everything we needed, the beds were comfy—the house is truly a home away from home! We will most definitely stay in this home again when we return to Costa Rica! Thank you Robert, Rachael, and Stephanie!

We loved the location of this home as it is convenient to the beach and adventures. Lots of good restaurants around but we took advantage of the nearby fish market to grill. The house was clean and comfortable and we found everything we needed for our week stay.

We are a family of 4 that has done multiple month-long stays in vacation rentals. I speak from experience when I say that this is as close as you can get to a perfect vacation rental.
Highlights include:
- super clean
- very responsive rental manager
- has all the kitchen supplies you will need (we cooked a lot)
- large fridge
- air conditioning in each space keeps place cool
- great internet
- we had no issues with ants, spiders, roaches etc
- great street with lots of nice homes. Not a busy street.
- easy walk to the beach and to the grocery store
- nearby Mexican restaurant has yummy food and great cocktails
I love the town of Uvita too. The walking distance beach is really special and there are tons of nearby beaches to drive to and discover. There are quite a few good food options. I also love that there is food, excursions, and grocery stores that cater to tourists but there’s also a very obvious Costa Rican local culture that you can enjoy.

Nice place. We enjoyed it. Left it very clean. Still waiting for our refundable deposit to be refunded to my credit card as promised. Property was left clean and neat.

We were so sad to leave this place! The house is just as pictured on the website, but even more beautiful in person. It was spotless, contemporary and so incredibly easy to live in and just enjoy. There were toys and books for the kids and the kitchen was extremely well stocked. Our kids loved spending the morning at the beach and then coming back to the house to spend the afternoon in the pool. It was pure relaxation. We enjoyed exploring the beach and found the path along the beach that connects playa Colonia to Playa Chaman was perfect (great spot for monkey watching). We walked over often to get ice cream, french fries and yummy pizzas and empanadas at El Hornito (about a 10-15 minute walk). We also ate at La Choza del Alejo about 5 times during our stay-super good Mexican food just around the corner. We did a couple of grocery shops at the BM on the highway, but also used the small supermarket between the house and the beach. While we were there, the large MaxiPali (like a Walmart) opened up down the road and that was also a short walk away for groceries. The house manager in town, Stephanie, was also great-she was always a text away and was there to answer any questions. Be sure to have lunch or a sunset dinner/cocktail at the Aracari restaurant-amazing ocean views just a 5 minute drive away from the house. Good food, too! Overall, our stay was excellent and we would love to return.

Great place near the beach
Great house, 5 minute walk to the beach, although you have to pay an entrance fee as it’s a park entrance. House was sparkling clean and pool was great. House had a stocked kitchen, a ton of toys and books for the kids, and a huge supply of beach towels which was super handy. Only problem was the hot water. It broke completely the day we arrived and we were without hot water for 3 of our 4 day trip. The management company was very responsive, it just took a while as it happened over the weekend. Once it was fixed you still could only use one shower at a time (and no dishwasher) or else the breaker would trip and it would turn off. Pretty annoying for our family of 6. Also they had surf and boogie boards but we weren’t allowed to use them. Overall a great house, but until the hot water issue is fixed I think I would choose another location.

A lovely getaway in Uvita
I was with a group of 4 that stayed at this property for a week and we all thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The house is very conveniently located and had all of the necessary amenities to cook great meals and relax with friends by the pool. Would definitely stay here again!

Great internet.
We stayed here for 2 weeks while we were building our house. My husband worked and had video calls there was never an internet issue. Excellent service and while there were a few power blips the internet never went down. Great location. Can walk to the beach and convenient to restaurants and grocery store. Would stay here again.

Beautiful home and well supplied
We have stayed in a lot of vacation homes for way more than the cost of this house that couldn’t compare to this home. Beautifully furnished, tons of amenities everything you need (except for a measuring cup) lol. Would stay here again! Only thing that was missing was television, there was no cable or satellite service.

Great house, great layout, great location!
This house was incredible. The pictures are very accurate. The WIFI was the fastest I've ever encountered in Costa Rica. The location is super close to town, stores, dining, and walking distance to the beach. The area felt very safe and nothing went missing from the backyard (and we left alot of stuff back there). The property manager was very helpful in setting us up with a tour and responding to inquiries. The house was very well stocked with everything, from TONS of towels, quality pots and pans, toilet paper, spices, and just odd stuff you don't see in every house but is very much appreciated, such as a cooler.
The only downsides (minor) are there was no major wildlife such as monkeys or coatis (the location is in the equivilant of a subdivision and 'in town'), and there are several vacant lots including next door, which when build on could disturb the peace and serenity of the amazing backyard (I would inquire prior to booking to ensure there is no active construction adjacent to the property).

Beautiful home in Beautiful Uvita
We had an absolutely wonderful time in Uvita and in this lovely home. It has absolutely everything you need to be comfortable - a well appointed kitchen, great beds, lots of toys for the kids, a sweet little pool, a huge grill, quiet surroundings. There's a bodega in walking distance for groceries, a nice surf school across the street, and the beach is only a 7 minute walk away. We will return!

Hervorragend
Das Haus ist ist wie beschrieben, sehr sauber und komfortabel. Es hat an nichts gefehlt. Alle Utensilien für die Küche waren vorhanden. Sehr gepflegte Außenanlage.
Morgens wurden wir von Brüllaffen geweckt.
Vielen Dank an Stephanie, sie hat uns herzlich empfangen.
Wir haben den Aufenthalt sehr genossen.
In der Nähe sind genügend Einkaufsmöglichkeiten.
Besonders zu empfehlen ist der Französische Bäcker in der Nähe.
Die Gegend ist wunderschön.

Everything reached our expectations.
Wonderful house to stay in Uvita. Walking distance from the beach. Accessibly to many services. We definitely recommend this house. We are a family of 5 and with three rooms, pool 🏊, BBQ, kitchen, wifi, etc it was perfect. Karol was there for our arrival to explain everything and she stay in touch with us during our stay to be sure that everything was correct.
Five stars home and services.

Pure Perfection!
This place was so perfect we invented a game called "Find the flaw" (and there was only 1, see below). Gorgeous and spotlessly clean home. Easy, flat walk to the beach (it's not across the highway). Great internet. Close to whatever you want. The pool is shaded in the afternoon so you can skip the sunscreen at that time. Tons of toys - it will be like Christmas for your kid. Karol, the property manager, was very professional and attentive.
The only room for improvement would be the shower water temperature in the master bathroom. The shower has an open design and the bathroom is open to the room itself while the water temperature doesn't get much above 'warm', so I had goosebumps throughout my showers, but it wouldn't keep me from coming back. I only mention it because it can probably be fixed very easily.

This home is everything it describes!! Beautifully decorated, comfortable, secure, had everything we could possibly need and want! Easy to get to, nice location close enough to walk to the beach, beautiful sunsets! The pool is perfect size for the home. Hammock, loungers, comfortable beds.. not an easy find in CR at times!
We seriously loved our stay and are hoping to return again this coming year! Thank you to the owners and the management staff!

Wonderful Family Vacation
We had an absolutely wonderful stay in Uvita at Rachael's house! The house was super clean and just perfect for our family of 4. We loved the open concept and the bedrooms are an excellent size to store all belongings. The pool was amazing; my girls rolled out of bed and into the pool! The house is a short walk to a beautiful beach and there is a small market walking distance for last minute needs. The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you need for meals at the house. The caretakers who live in Uvita are very quick to respond to any questions you may have during your stay. We had a fabulous stay and will definitely go back if we ever get the chance! Thank you Rachael!

Private Paradise - Luxuary Living!
We spent two amazing weeks in Costa Rica and absolutely loved it. The first week was spent in various “4 star hotels” in different locations up the coast from Uvita that were average at best. We didn't mind because there was so much to see and do that we didn't need to be cooped up in a hotel room anyway. However, once we arrived at this beautiful, contemporary home in Uvita we really felt like our "vacation" began. The home is gorgeous and immaculately decorated. It was just the two of us and we almost felt guilty not sharing the luxury of the space; the home is plenty big to accommodate two other couples or a family. The kitchen was adequately equipped although we never felt like cooking because there were so many amazing places to eat. Including La Ballena Roja that is just a short walk from the house where we had the most amazing jalapeno and goat cheese pizza the night we arrived, it is BYOB though so go prepared! The convenience of being in town was nice versus being up in the mountains where you had to navigate the roads anytime you wanted to go somewhere. The pool and outdoor showers provided a nice place to rinse off and relax when it got too hot down at the beach or when the tide was high.
The first part of our vacation was definitely in what I would call more touristy areas, lots of people booked through organized tours being shuffled around by a guide. Although we had our own car and moved at our own pace it was easy to get caught up in those groups. Uvita really allowed us to slow down and experience that Pura Vida, Costa Rican way of life and staying in this home gave us more luxury than we expected on our trip traveling out of the states. I would highly recommend visiting Uvita and this home! It will not be our last visit to Costa Rica!!
