Beautiful home with an amazing view! If we come back this will be at the top of our list of places to stay!
The property is absolutely gorgeous. We were later than we thought we'd be checking in by about an hour, and they were very flexible even though they need to meet you to help with check in. We were all SO tired and not ready to go through a tour, but the meet up and check in process was quick and simple—they really just wanted to show you how to drive up the giant hill that is the driveway (!!), how to get into the house, etc. The owner was very kind. We found the property pretty much as expected. Beautiful surroundings, comfortable, had all of the listed amenities. We visited during rainy season so we spent a good amount of time at the house hanging out and cooking, and that was great. I think it's important to know that the AC is only in the bedrooms! So when you're cooking or hanging out, you will be HOT if the weather is hot. The fan over the stove was not working so that didn't help our situation. Overall, minor issues, and mostly incredible stay!

Thank you so much for your wonderful and thoughtful review! We're delighted you enjoyed your stay and that the villa, amenities, and beautiful surroundings met your expectations. We're also glad our flexible check-in process helped after your delayed arrival—we know travel days can be exhausting, so we always try to make the arrival as smooth and efficient as possible. Thank you as well for mentioning the home's open-air design. The great room, kitchen, and living areas are intentionally designed to embrace the tropical climate with refreshing ocean breezes and stunning jungle views, while all of the bedrooms are fully air-conditioned for comfortable sleeping. We also appreciate you letting us know about the stove exhaust fan. We'll inspect it right away to make sure everything is working properly for future guests. It was a pleasure hosting your group, and we hope to welcome you back again for another relaxing stay in beautiful Uvita!
Beautiful villa, nice and accommodating host, very good experience overall, we definitely come back in the future.
This house was amazing! It has a perfect layout, the builder thought of everything! Robert was extremely helpful, friendly, and responsive to any issues that came up. We loved staying here!
Wow wow wow. This home is off the charts!! Breathtaking views! We saw a toucan in the tree on our first day, lots of other pretty birds and lizards everywhere. You can see the famous whale tail from the backyard! Every room had its own bathroom and air-conditioning. Loved the hammock on the upper balcony area! The kitchen was fully stocked. We used the pool and jacuzzi every day, it was our favorite part of the home. This was our 4th and final stop in Costa Rica for our honeymoon and all of the beds were very hard and uncomfortable except for this home, the beds and pillows were very comfortable. Robert was extremely helpful, kind, and attentive! He gave us 2 folders full of all the information you could possibly need to explore the area from excursions and restaurants to the local tide clock so that we could go visit the whale tail at the right time. We took all of his recommendations and we had an amazing time. 10/10 highly recommend!!

Thank you so much for such an incredible review! We are absolutely thrilled that your honeymoon stay ended on such a high note. Seeing toucans and tropical wildlife right from the property, along with those breathtaking views of the famous Whale’s Tail, really does make the experience special and we are so happy you enjoyed it all. It’s wonderful to hear that the pool, jacuzzi, hammock, and fully stocked kitchen helped make your stay relaxing and memorable. We also truly appreciate your comments about the comfort of the beds and pillows — we know how important a great night’s sleep is, especially after traveling throughout Costa Rica. Robert will be very happy to hear your kind words. He takes great pride in helping guests make the most of their visit, and we are glad the local recommendations, excursion tips, and tide information helped create such an amazing experience for you both. Thank you again for choosing our villa as the final stop of your honeymoon adventure. It was a pleasure hosting you, and we would love to welcome you back to Costa Rica anytime!
This is a really nice place with beautiful ocean views and great bird and wildlife watching from the two decks. There is an open BBQ area with a great big round table for everyone to relax and enjoy the company. Richard was very responsive on our arrival. Our ETA kept getting pushed back due to traffic and he was flexible to meet us off the highway and guide us up the hill. The access road is 4x4 only. The road is steep and can be a bit slippery with the rain. Thank you.
It’s a nice house, just like the pictures. Special for big families .

Thank you for your kind review! We’re so glad to hear the home met your expectations and that you found it ideal for larger families. We’ve worked hard to make sure the villa is not only beautiful but also comfortable and well-equipped for groups. Guests can enjoy spacious living areas, a fully stocked kitchen for group meals, comfortable bedrooms, high-speed Wi-Fi, air conditioning throughout, and plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. The outdoor spaces are perfect for relaxing, whether you’re enjoying the pool, taking in the views, or spending time together as a group. It was a pleasure hosting you, and we’d love to welcome you back anytime!
Thank you for a beautiful stay!! Robert and Whit were wonderful from the first interaction to the last. The home is exactly as described and we’d definitely stay again!
We loved everything about this house! It was perfect for our family. Beautiful and very comfortable inside and out. Robert was very responsive, friendly and very helpful. We’re planning a family reunion and will definitely book here if available.
A very spacious and comfortable house, excellently equipped with all kitchen utensils. There are inflatable water toys for children, a double pool—one regular and one jacuzzi—a gas grill, and an outdoor kitchen, all perfectly stocked. The area is quiet and peaceful, surrounded by lots of greenery and wild birds. When leaving, I regretted not changing my return flight to stay longer.
We had a wonderful stay, it was gorgeous and perfect for our group.

Thank you so much for the 5-star review! We’re thrilled to hear you had a wonderful stay and that the space was a great fit for your group. It was a pleasure hosting you, and you’re welcome back anytime! 🌿
Great location, the required 4x4 is no joke, the road in is very steep and rocky. Once there very nice space. Construction in the neighborhood wasn’t intrusive but some noise in the mornings. Already awake with the birds and nature so wasn’t a big deal.
Host Response
Thank you so much for the 5-star review! We really appreciate you mentioning the 4x4 access—it's definitely part of the adventure and helps keep the area peaceful and surrounded by nature. Unfortunately we were not able to schedule our ANNUAL road service prior to your arrival this year. We have enormous improvements coming. We’re glad you enjoyed the space and that the morning sounds didn’t take away from your experience. You never know when a neighbor may want to repair their metal steps. Hope to host you again if you’re ever back in the area!
We stayed at the house, and it was truly amazing—just as pictured. The owner greeted us warmly, being very polite and friendly. Overall, a fantastic place, and we will definitely choose it again for our next vacation.

It’s great to know you enjoyed the peaceful location as well. We truly appreciate your kind words about our communication—it was a pleasure hosting you.

We had an absolutely incredible stay at this house in Costa Rica. The location is truly amazing, with breathtaking views that are even better in person than in the photos. While the home was exactly as described, the description honestly does not do justice to the beauty of the location, the views, or the house itself. Robert was an outstanding host. He personally greeted us at the house and went above and beyond by sharing a detailed list of places to visit, restaurants, and sightseeing recommendations, all of which were excellent and greatly enhanced our trip. He was also very responsive and helpful throughout our stay, making the entire experience seamless and enjoyable. Thank you, Robert, for your hospitality, attention to detail, and support during our stay. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would absolutely love to return.
