We recently had the pleasure of staying at a VRBO in Costa Rica, and it was an experience close to idyllic. Nestled in a quiet, secluded area, the property not only offered breathtaking views of the Pacific and the Whale Tail but also provided us with completely unobstructed views of the stunning sunsets, which became a highlight of our stay. The covered deck outside was a personal oasis, where we spent countless hours relaxing and soaking up the ocean and beach views. The small infinity pool adjacent to the deck added to the luxury, offering a perfect spot for cooling off while still basking in the scenic beauty. Our check-in process was smooth and our host was exceptionally responsive, ensuring a comfortable start to our stay. The property's location struck a perfect balance between seclusion and accessibility, with gorgeous beaches like Playa Uvita and Playa Hermosa just a 10-15 minute drive away. Moreover, the roads leading up to the property were very nicely paved, making the journey pleasant and easy. It's important to note for future visitors that the final 50-75 meters to the house are extremely steep and consist of a dirt road. This section requires a 4-wheel drive, especially under challenging weather conditions. While the majority of the journey is on well-paved roads, this last stretch is crucial to navigate safely and comfortably. While the property had much to love, there were a few areas where it could shine even more. A microwave would be a handy addition

This was a mini vacation for my husband and I and our first time in Uvita. The villa was comfortable and has great views. Communication with the hosts was great and quick to respond via the platform. They also have a great conceirge person who can take care of all of your tour needs. We did a great hike on our own at the Nauyaca waterfalls, went to nearby beaches and restaurants. All bedrooms have Ac and are located on the second floor. The main floor does not have ac but has two big fans. Highlight was seeing toucans while having coffee in the morning.

While there are many positive aspects to the property, it's essential to note that access requires a 4x4 vehicle. Regular cars may get stuck, potentially impacting a portion of your vacation. This is a crucial detail that was not included in the initial description.

Our family had a lovely stay at this home with an incredible view. We felt like we were away from it all in the forest but not too secluded! We would recommend this place for a family home base on a Costa Rican adventure.

My family (wife & 3 teenage sons) stayed at this property during our multi-week road trip down the Pacific Coast of Costa Rica, ending in Cabo Matapalo on the Osa Peninsula. We had a spectacular time in the beautiful and very safe home just minutes from the beaches of Uvita & Dominical. We saw so many animals right on the property. Countless toucans, parrots, troupes of monkeys, hummingbirds, amazing insects and one very friendly Tropical Kingbird came to visit the property daily. The fragrant Ylang-Ylang trees that surround the property provide a supremely beautiful smell every time the sea breeze blows. This place was truly magical for us with plenty of security features (if that's your thing), a small (but magnificent) pool, and very responsive management. We will be back!

It is in the view that grabs you right away. The minute you walk into the house, you are greeted with an expansive view of this gorgeous hillside and the Pacific Ocean - stunning and mesmerizing. Our group of five adults were at the house eight nights, but only ate out for dinner once - we did not want to miss the incredible sunsets every evening that we could enjoy from the porch. Now on to the house... The house is so comfortable and so well equipped. The pool is terrific - for water aerobics as well as late afternoon gatherings; the grill is fantastic; the kitchen is stocked with lots of dishes and glasses, two coffee makers (we were afraid to try the expresso machine!), and all kinds of utensils, pots, and pans - the only thing we could not find was an ice cream scoop. Jerome and/or Gregoire - I was never quite sure with whom I was communicating - really make the experience easy and worry free - and he responds so quickly! For our group, he arranged airport transportation to and from San Jose, the delivery and pick up of a rental car, and put us in touch with a terrific tour operator. The location of the house is perfect for exploring the southern Pacific coast. We used the house as a base, and travelled to beaches, various rain forest and water- fall tours, zip lining, etc. It is also convenient to a grocery store and a bakery. The house is so private. We never heard other voices or vehicle traffic - just cicadas and monkeys! Please take me back soon!
