Photos and Description of the Uvita vacation house rental
3 Bedrooms, 2.5 Bathrooms, Sleeps 6

Relax in our Contemporary 3 Bedroom house with pool built to American specifications designed as a comfortable open plan home with killer, panoramic Pacific views. The house is conveniently located in the heart of Uvita - close to outstanding beaches, amenities and services. Well-situated at 150 meters elevation for ocean breeze and surrounded by lush gardens.

The house (2,550 square feet) is light-filled and comfortably furnished. Hang out with your morning java and peruse our extensive library until its time to venture outdoors where your biggest decision is whether to lay around poolside, or take the 5 minute drive (with supplied beachchair, beach towel, umbrellea, ice chest) to one of the almost-deserted beaches.

Before heading to one of the interesting dinner options or grilling fresh tuna on the BBQ, submerge yourself in the ensuite master bedroom Jacuzzi surrounded by views on three sides -- where you can see everything but nobody can see you.

Jungle Luxury

5 of 5
Submitted: February 23, 2013 Stayed: February 2013
We stayed three weeks in this lovely home and had tears in our eyes when we left.
We were travelling with our daughters (6 and 9 years old) and my husband’s parents who had never done this kind of trip before.
The house is divided really well for our type of family because everyone could have some privacy. My husband, daughters and I shared the huge master suite upstairs. It is very spacious and the bathroom is unique and well appointed for the location. My in-laws took the down stairs bedroom and bathroom. (If you need total darkness to sleep, bring a sleeping mask as there are no curtains in the rooms.) They spent a lot of time reading the books from the house’s large library in the shade of the outdoor patio. My daughters also raved about all the books and toys made available to them. I have rented many homes and have never seen so many toys and books. The pool and outings kept them busy for the remaining time. At one point toucans flew by in the trees near the pool and then white faced monkeys came to laugh at us while we were swimming. Two hummingbirds fed in the flowers near the house everyday. If you love animals and enjoy seeing them wild and free you will be very happy here.
Back to the house: the kitchen is perfectly stocked and efficiently organized. It is easy to keep clean, something very important when living near a jungle. We took out the trash every night and made sure that all food was stored in the fridge or airtight containers. Vanessa comes by once a week and cleans the floors and bathrooms and kitchen if needed. She is very kind and helped us practice our Spanish. There is also a pool service and a gardener. We watched the sun set every night while eating dinner. The windows and doors are all on the west side so ocean views are spectacular. We had internet connection.
The road was redone while we were there so it is easier to climb it now. It is wise to use a 4 x 4 vehicle anyway and Barry’s contact is very kind and easy to work with for a rental. The first climb is an adventure but after a while it becomes second-nature.
Jon, manages the property was very nice and helpful. He really cared about us and wanted to make sure that we appreciated our stay. He and his family live on the property so we feel really safe. It is a gated house as well if you feel you need the extra security (we didn’t).
So if you want to experience a luxurious twist on jungle life and are ready to not sweat the little things, this house is for you.

Great Family Home

5 of 5
Submitted: January 22, 2013 Stayed: January 2013
Our family of five (kids 15, 13 and 3) stayed at this house for two weeks this past January. The house is much nicer than the pics show- it is very comfortable and has everything you need for a comfortable stay. The views of the sunset are amazing and waking up listening to the birds and the jungle sounds- so peaceful! This house is really well set up for kids, lots of games, books and places to play- not to mention the pool. It is a great location to explore the area and the local beaches are great. As the description says the road to the house is steep- you need 4x4. Its only maybe 75 feet thats tough but you wont make it in a car. Its not scary like one of the earlier reviewers commented but its steep gravel . We ended up just walking up as our cheap rental car wouldnt do it. So listen to the owners- get a 4x4. Be advised that for the beaches in the Naitonal park you have to pay to access. We preferred Playa Ventanas as a quiet place to swim, body surf and for its natural beauty. Highly recommend the horse back ride to Nayuaca Falls. Overall, this house is a really great place to stay if you are visiting the area. The property manager John was helpful if we needed him but he left us be to really enjoy our time- and thats exactly what we did.

HONEYMOON OR NOT THIS PLACE WAS MAGICAL !!!!!!

5 of 5
Submitted: January 22, 2013 Stayed: November 2012
Where do I even begin? How about I start with the ONLY negative point I could find, and that is that the pictures online DO NOT DO this paradise any justice at all.

My newlywed honeymoon experience could not have been any better. We arrived well after sundown (not recommended for people easily daunted by unfamiliar territory - as this now famous "gravel" driveway seems to be something of a conversation, which in my eyes if you follow the recommendations of those who know the property best and get yourself a 4x4 with proper mountain tires you will have NO problem at all - remember you're on a trip to gain new experiences and create new memories, if you want things exactly the way you know them to be at home, then, stay home). I digress, after arriving after dark we only had the luxury of seeing the absolute beauty that is the interior of this unbelievably built haven - until our morning surprise - you can tell the owner took pride in making this a magical place. Has EVERYTHING you need (towels, toilet paper, games, movies, books, pool accessories, beach accessories, chaise-loungers, daybeds - indoors and out - some of my best naps taken there, and the list goes on and on) to all the extras.

But, I must say that the HUGE Master bedroom with the absolutely gorgeous view and wrap-around balcony was only made better by the most amazing indoor Hot Tub I have ever had the pleasure of enjoying - a romantic/serene place for pure tranquility. Anybody enjoying the idea or even the opportunity to experience all that Costa Rica and "off-the-grid" living provides you will be mesmerized by this place (don't think "off-the-grid" means roughing it because in this case that could not be farther from the truth).

If you enjoy a serene setting to do and see things you may never be exposed to (like Yoga/meditation on a balcony with a Rainforest sunrise overlooking the Pacific in the distance or a school of Capuchian monkeys just as curious of you as you are of them, keeping their distance but close enough to get fantastic pictures or having the most amazing view for your dinners and breakfasts) I can tell you, DO NOT LOOK ANY FURTHER......this place is a piece of heaven on Earth.

You should also be aware that as "undeveloped" as Uvita may be there is everything you need. Including the extras of surfing, ATV tours, Scuba Diving, many restaurants, etc.

The private pool, the views, the tranquility, the people....YOU WILL WANT TO STAY FOREVER, we did :-)

Good times and a really nice house in the Southern Zone

5 of 5
Submitted: January 4, 2013 Stayed: November 2012
My family of four vacationed here and loved it. My requirements are simple - house must be clean and comfortable which this house met in every way. I think the listing is accurate and the photos capture what the house is like (although not quite as good as it is so lush!) Glad I listened to the owners advice to get a good 4 wheel vehicle as the driveway is steep and does require that but - one thing for future renters to know - if you go to the southern zone you will want to have access to the mountain roads and attractions, and frankly, we felt safer traveling on the ocean highway from SJO (in a monsoon at night!) So book the right rental to really take advantage of the adventuros. The area is fun - check out Jolly Roger's for the best wings...there's a local chicken place that is excellent and an Italian restaurant right down the road that we enjoyed several evenings. The managers were really helpful to us and it was nice to have someone on hand who knows the area - they are from California and are super nice. I would love to do this vacation all over again - same destination, same rental.

An AMAZING Costa Rica Rain Forest expeirence

5 of 5
Submitted: November 26, 2012 Stayed: June 2012
We were a family of five - three children 11, 7 and 4 - and we LOVED this house! Pictures are really deceiving - this house is MUCH nicer than it looks - we were in shock! The house was stunning, super modern, had a GREAT pool, amazing views, and all the amenties possible!

It had lots of board games, and lots of movies, and even lots of books - and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay there! The landlord Barry was very professional and the house-manager was super friendly and likeable.

The house was clean, we were given lots and lots of advise on where to eat and what to see and do - and we did them all :) Now you have to know that this is an ADVENTURE - if you want boring tourist place with plastic american feel, this is NOT the place for you! Uvita is rural, the house is in the middle of the rain forest, and this is what makes is so great :)

Both showers worked just fine for us - and yes - it was warm, but we werent really expecting anything else in Costa Rica LOL

The hill up to the house is SUPER steep - the kids LOVED it when we drove like maniacs to get up there :) At no point did it not feel safe - just another part of adventure :)

Everything is far away - the waterfalls (we went to two different ones - one of htem on horse back ride, and the other was right by a Tiliapa restaurant further south) - but heck - again - this is the boonies in the middle of the rain forest and that is the awesome part :)

The master suite is SUPER large and just amazing! The laundry room is great - at least when you have three kids LOL

I would VERY MUCH recommend this if you want a modern luxurious experience in the middle of the Costa Rican rain forest in a non- touristy place where people are super friendly, the scenery is absurdly beautiful, and the experience is something you have not had before!
