About this house rental
Recently renovated with new deck overlooking the mountain views to compliment the already existing deck by the pool with ocean view. New fixtures, paint, etc.
Two king bedrooms each with full bathrooms, AC, and high speed wifi. Gated, private entrance with covered parking.
Perfectly situated in an elevated neighborhood capturing cool mountain breezes while enjoying jaw-dropping views. Easy access to one of the most beautiful waterfalls and river systems in Costa Rica.
I fell in love with this property because of the dramatic valley, jungle and ocean views. I believe you will too. It sits high above two river valleys and adjacent to a waterfall below, easily accessible by car or short hike. You will want to be there every day.
This home was built in 2011, highlighting Asian characteristics with indoor / outdoor living and sliding glass doors that disappear into the wall for total access to the pool area. There are two bedrooms each with private bathrooms. The master has an outdoor shower and indoor Jacuzzi tub . The second bedroom has an indoor shower. The living area is accented by a fireplace that is only for decor. There is a patio adjacent to the pool where you can enjoy private sunbathing , stargazing and yoga. A/C is available in the bedrooms but is rarely needed as there is usually a steady breeze through the home keeping the temperature pleasant during the day and possibly 'chilly' at night.
I love to cook so the kitchen is stocked with the necessary pots, pans, mixing bowls, utensils etc to create a fantastic meals without leaving the mountain.
There is so much to offer that it is best to see the pictures and email me with any other questions you may have .
Pura Vida!!

We spent a full week at Casa Namaste with our two boys (11&14). The views from this location are breathtaking. You can see all the way to the ocean. We loved watching the birds and monkeys come and visit each day. We saw toucans everyday.
We like to cook our own meals and the cabin was very well equipped with everything we needed. Local grocery stores in Uvita are good with all the options we were looking for.
Morning yoga sessions on the patio taking in the amazing views was fun although kids didn’t really appreciate it that much, lol.
There is a really great walk down to the river in the valley below. It’s a 20 minute hike down a steep road or if you have a 4x4 you can drive but we enjoyed getting a little excercise. There are pools you can swim in and the kids loved jumping off the rocks in to the deep pools below.
Chelsea attended to everything we needed and was very responsive with any questions we had.
When booking, we weren’t sure if we’d enjoy the jungle location as we normally prefer being close to the beach (this was our third trip to Costa Rica) but with a short 20 minute drive to some great beaches we felt this was a great choice for us and really enjoyed our stay. Lots to do in the area. We’ll be back.

Wonderful stay! Exceeded expectations!

Having stayed at several different accomodations in previous visits to Costa Rica, this location certainly impressed us in 2023. So we booked again in 2024. The view is still great and the private pool most welcome. However we were surprised to find full garbage (used toilet tissue) in bathroom at check-in along with other refuse in the kitchen. Overall, the cleanliness seemed to have sunk from the previous year. The house looked more "tired". Also we were struck at the number of geckos inside the house compared to other similar properties where we have stayed. Each morning we cleaned up a new overnight crop of gecko faeces from counters, bed covers, tables etc. More disturbingly, after mysterious bites on ourselves, we found microscopic (biting) ants all over our pillows and bed. We later learned that the ants have been a recurring problem over time in the main bedroom (the bed had been previously dismantled and treated). This had a profound negative impact on the balance of our stay which wouldn't have been possible if we were with another couple as we used the second bedroom. Sadly, we will not be staying here on a future trip to the region.

Casa Namaste exceeded all our expectations. We loved how the outside pool and covered patio were really just an extension of the home--we spent most of our time swimming and enjoying the views and wildlife from that space. The home is well kept and appointed with everything we needed, and Chelsea was a terrific host. She was easy to communicate with and offered us ideas that enriched our time in Costa Rica. It's a big, beautiful world out there, and we're already trying to figure out how to get back to this special home and place.

Our first time to Costa Rica, and Casa Namaste has set the bar very high. Super comfy beds, plenty of linens, towels, kitchen supplies, whatever we needed for our 6 days. Couldn’t ask for better scenery, and woke up to monkeys and toucans in the trees each morning.
Chelsea was an absolute gem…so helpful and full of information and ideas….our own personal travel agent! She helped us choose some great tours. We did Oro Verde, Santa Lucia Waterfalls, and Emilio Coffee, just the right amount of time away from the house and then spending the afternoons by the beautiful pool. Glad we rented a 4x4 vehicle for these tours. Got in at 10 pm first night, so the road to the house was daunting, but after the next time, we were pros!
Don’t wait, just book this place, you’ll be happy you did!

Absolutely beautiful location, with an incredible view! The house has everything you need, kitchen is fully equipped, A/C worked well, pool was the perfect temperature every day, and the outdoor space offered sun and shade at all times of day. The outdoor shower was such a treat! Beds were very comfortable, with great pillows! Wifi worked really well. Road to the house is daunting at first, but gets easier and quicker each time. Trip into Uvita took 15 min. Chelsea was great to communicate with and provided lots of recommendations. This is a property we would most definitely stay at again😊

Casa Namaste is everything we could have asked for and more! The house itself has all the amenities that you need for a short or extended stay. The view literally takes your breath away when you first see it and makes you cry when you have to leave. Chelsea was always helpful with dining suggestions, setting up a in home chef (Chef Juan Pablo is a must), giving directions to a hidden waterfall and swimming hole, and anything else we needed. The drive up the mountain is paved and only 15 minutes from Uvita. I am horrible at writing reviews, but if you have any reservations about booking, don't, book it now. We considered ourselves lucky that we found this slice of heaven.

We thoroughly enjoyed our 3-week stay at Casa Namaste. The house was ideal for us: very comfortable, well equipped and maintained, excellent property manager, and lovely views. We look forward to our return next year.

Great house, amazing location and views. House was fully equipped with everything you needed. Easy check in and very helpful host that took care of any problem right away. House had minor problems with AC and washing machine but was fixed very quickly. We definitely enjoyed our stay and would love to come back. Thank you for a great experience.

Great outside paradise that will make your experience complete. Take a day off and just relax here. Everything you need. Chelsea was great both before and after our stay answering any questions we had. Absolutely recommend this home if you are in the area.

Casa Namaste was a perfect place for us to stay. (2 couples ). The house is very modern, clean and well furnished with super comfortable king sized beds. We spent lots of time just sitting out by, and in, the pool with its amazing views over the “whale tail”. We especially enjoyed the abundant bird life: toucans, oropendulas, parrots and hawks to name a few. Writing this review makes me wish I was sitting there right now. Hope we can go back one day.

The view from the property is amazing; overlooking forest with distant ocean and whale tail vistas. We were serenaded by forest through the day with notable visits from toucan, aracaris and capuchin monkeys. The private pool was a welcome respite after hot hikes. The recently paved road to the property winds through steep hairpin curves from the highway (typical for Costa Rica). The driveway is also steep but a 2 wheel drive Chery Tiggo worked okay in dry conditions...would not want to try without AWD or 4WD if raining. The eclectic casita is showing some signs of wear and tear over the years and a few minor repairs would be helpful. Also the photos and description could be updated; there is no grill or dishwasher and there are four comfortable outside chairs with two loungers. Would fully recommend and stay again...this location is one of a kind!!!

Case Namaste is more beautiful than the pictures. Chelsea, the property manager was extremely helpful and available. We highly recommend getting a massage onsite, it was amazing with the gentle breeze and genuine nature sounds. The house is well equipped and the winding mountain road is well paved.

Home is in a great location, with amazing views of the forest and ocean. Monkeys and Toucans were hanging out in the trees, and you wake up each morning to the sound of howler monkeys. Lots of things to do in the area and great dining options in Uvita and Dominical.

In all my travels this was one of the best experiences renting a house I’ve ever had. Chelsea was on top of everything and went the extra mile in providing info before the trip and was beyond helpful during our stay. If you are looking for a peaceful getaway in a private and very comfortable home with incredible views, this is the place.

This immaculate, well-appointed house was so comfortable for 2 couples. The road up the house is exciting, but once you're there, it is a total private haven. The views are stunning, and the whole outdoor area was so comfortable to sit in shade and be covered when it rained. We all fell in love with the outdoor shower. We also really appreciated the ability to do laundry after swimming and traveling, and it made it easy to pack lightly. Our host, Chelsea and her partner, Trevor were so helpful with restaurants and directions and anything else we wanted to know. We highly recommend this beautiful house. We had a great time. Thank you!

As relatively seasoned VRBO travellers, we have stayed in many beautiful homes in many parts of the world. However, our stay at Casa Namaste was indeed special. This is a lovely Casa with a stupendous location in the middle of the jungle with amazing ocean views, to say nothing about daily visits from toucans, and even a coati one morning! What was distinct about Casa Namaste, was how we immediately felt so completely at home and relaxed. There is just a vibe about this place which urges you to sink in & just feel good!
It is quite hot here in Costa Rica in February, and one thing to make sure of, is adequate shade wherever you are staying, Casa Namaste has areas to sit outside protected from the sun while still enjoying being outdoors, as well the height on the mountainside allows for about 3 or 4 degree difference (cooler) from the beach which is very welcome. Many of the villas and restaurants in the area are on very poor dirt roads, which necessitate a 4x4 rental vehicle, but the drive to Casa Namaste has been recently paved and although long and twisty, a fairly easy drive.
And no review would be complete without mentioning their incredible property manager Chelsea. When staying in remote locations there are almost always issues that come up, and the real test is not so much whether issues arise but how they're dealt with. Chelsea was always available, communicating with us before our trip, during our trip, even after our stay while we were at the next villa! Whether it was with questions about the house, restaurants or just general information about the area, she was super helpful and what a difference that personal touch makes, a hands-on orientation can save days on precious vacation time.
Thanks for a wonderful stay, we certainly hope to be back again!

This place is AMAZING, The view is breathtaking, the house is stocked so well you need nothing, just food. Check-in was flawless, we arrived a bit late.
Lots of wildlife, we heard Howler Monkeys, Toucans, birds everywhere.
We loved the pool. And we always used the outside shower, so cool.
Definitely rent this place !!
Overall Spectacular already thinking about coming back.

What a stunning location, up a paved road 5km off the main highway from Uvita. The view is incredible, with a beautiful outdoor area, including a lovely pool. Chelsea the property manager is outstanding, super helpful not only taking care of things at the house but also providing so many recommendations for restaurants and things to do in the area and beyond. She was in constant communication with us before and during our stay. We stayed in the house for 4 weeks, so really had an opportunity to spend time there and explore the area. The house is comfortable, especially the beds. However, with it being an older home (over 10 years now), some upgrades would benefit the home. There is not a functional dishwasher, nor a microwave, nor a grill or BBQ, which are relatively standard in most rentals now in the area. The wifi was quite good, we did pay for an upgrade to the wifi to ensure we had very high speed as we were both working remotely from there. Also, if you wish the house to be cleaned during the time you stay, you can pay for this to be done. The birds around the home are incredible, a real birders paradise. Would highly recommended if you are planning to go to Uvita. We absolutely loved Uvita as well, so many amazing restaurants to go to, we especially loved Mosaic (Wine Bar & Sushi) and Sibu (for breakfast). Thanks Chelsea for making our time at Casa Namaste so wonderful.

My husband and i enjoyed our stay here so much! When we arrived our host was there very friendly and answered all our questions. This place is very private. When you look out from the pool all you see is rainforest and ocean. We walked down to the river and had so much fun! (You should take the time and do this) We had a welcome basket filled with fruits, nuts and a bottle of wine. (Thank you!) The toucans come right up to the property. We felt right a home. We will be back!

Thank you for everything Chelsea and Trevor

Our family of four (7 and 10 year old) enjoyed our stay. Chelsea was very helpful with getting us settled in and schedule a night hike for us just up the road from the house. The view of the valley, ocean, Cano Island, and whale's tale is amazing. My kids loved the pool and wild life. We walked down to the river to cool off one afternoon. While the paved road up to the house is a little long it makes your stay much more private, is a beautiful drive through the jungle, and cooler than being near the beach. This is a special house and location.

This house was THE BEST experience I had with VRBO. The property is clean and absolutely beautiful! The property is private and perfect for couples who need some R&R! You will not be disappointed. Especially with the pool and the view. But this wasn’t even the best part. My host, Chelsea was phenomenal. She went above and beyond to make sure we had a great experience during our visit. She told us about a trail by the house that brings you to a river and area to swim. It was gorgeous! The water was so blue. She made us reservations to a farm to table restaurant that was absolutely delicious! She made several suggestions on where to eat and go in addition to her well written welcome letter! She is such a nice person, so staying at her place was an honor and I respected as if it were my own.
Thank you so much for making my birthday a beautiful memory!
I really hope I can come back again!

Casa Namaste is an absolute dream of a home. It was always the thing we looked forward to coming back to the most after a long day of Costa Rican adventures. The pool overlooks the most beautiful view of the Whales Tail and the jungle with monkeys, toucans, butterflies and geicos!!
The most wonderful part, however, was Chelsea. She helped us book reservations and gave us recommendations for local restaurants and attractions even after we already left. There was fresh fruit and wine waiting for us when we arrived!
Thank you so much for the memories!

This house is just the right size for an intimate vacation with a couple or small family - it has absolutely everything you'll need with the bulk of the space outside - the gorgeous plunge pool, gardens and patio spaces where we spent almost all of our time eating, doing yoga, massages or just gazing at the jungle or down at the ocean. While the house itself it gorgeous, the biggest gift is Chelsea, the manager, who was in almost daily contact with me prior to and during our stay. She thoughtfully recommended local restaurants, hikes, activities and even arranged a surprise masseuse and chef to come to the house for my partner's birthday. We practically felt like we had "family" in town looking out for us and we couldn't be more grateful for Chelsea! We have every intention of returning (as soon as possible)!

The view is amazing. We have toucans visiting daily to the trees right in front of the pool. Driving up required 4X4 only for last 5 mins of the trip. Pretty easy to get to. What we love the most is how responsive & warm the host, Chelsea. She lives next door and if you need anything, she is always helping out - above & beyond. To give examples: she helped me setup at home massages, she even lend me her lavender oil when I said I got mosquitos bites. Never have such a warm & welcoming host ever. Would love to stay there again next time when we visit Costa Rica.

This home was perfect, clean, bright, immersed in nature. The hosts were kind and very helpful. We loved everything about being here, and were so very sorry when a family emergency necessitated that we leave early. We cannot wait to return.
