Very wonderful home, good communication from owner. Had it Envision week - closely located. Only complaints was the air condition was a bit loud and one broke mid week and the pool could have been tended a bit more. Highly recommend

Was a great place to stay in Uvita. Really close to the national park. Communication and check in was excellent and it was easy to set up activities through them. Fit all 7 of us comfortably and the grounds were so beautiful. It was fun to bird watch in the back patio area.

Our family enjoyed our stay here. We love this house. The property was beautifully landscaped, outdoor shower and the pool were an added bonus. We were able to see many different birds, lizards and butterflies that visited us each day. The property is secure and the neighborhood felt safe. We visited the Whale's Tale, went snorkeling (which was fantastic) and kayaked the mangroves. We could walk to plenty of restaurants and some shopping. The town of Uvita has a laid back atmosphere, not overcrowded and the beach has some of the best sunsets. We would highly recommend this rental.

Tom and Christine were amazing hosts with excellent communication. The location and beautiful home with all of the amenities allowed our group to have an incredible experience while visiting for Costa Rica for Envision Festival.

Wonderful!
Wonderful!
We spent 8 nights at Tom and Christine’s with our 3 young children - 5yrs and younger. We had a fantastic time! The house was very well equipped with everything we needed. Tom was quick to locate and drop off a high chair for our youngest. The home is beautiful and very well laid out. We spent the mornings at the beach and our afternoons by the lovely pool. The kids loved playing in the garden as well. Lots of space! And quiet! Tom and Christine’s is the perfect retreat - quiet and peaceful. A car is a necessity, but definitely worth it! Most of the beaches nearby require an admission fee. Ventanas was our favourite! We would definitely stay at this wonderful spot again! Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Casita Uvita Vacation
Casita Uvita Vacation
We recently returned from our Costa Rica vacation where we spent 4 days at Casita Uvita. This was a perfect piece of paradise to spend a few days at the end of our road trip. We’re a family of four with two young kids (2 and 5) and this property was wonderful for us. Very private on a quiet street about a 10 min walk to the national park entrance (maybe longer if you’re walking with two kids - but doable!). The gardens and greenery around the property make it feel like you’re right in the rainforest - we seen so many beautiful birds while sitting at the pool area. Everything you need is available at the casita, the kitchen was well equipped and everything was clean and comfortable. As some people mentioned in previous reviews, there is no indoor seating area or tv but we never once missed it as the outdoor space is so beautiful at all times of day - rain or shine. Communication prior to and while there was super easy with Tom and Christine and they were both kind and helpful with any questions we had about the casita or the surrounding area. Check in and check out couldn’t have been more smooth. If you’re looking for a little piece of paradise in the Uvita area, this is it.

Great Management; Lovely House
Great Management; Lovely House
The house is lovely and clean; pool and gardens delightful; management company great; location very convenient to Whale's Tale Beach, restaurants, and town. Just two downsides: 1) no place to sit inside - three bedrooms and kitchen only 2) neighborhood is extremely noisy with two homes under construction during the day and very noisy neighbors at night. Dogs barking incessantly at all hours. Unfortunate because the back patio is a great place to spend the evening.
