Juan

Juan was always responsive, friendly, and available whenever we needed anything, and the caretakers, Sujey and Álvaro, were incredibly kind, helpful, and welcoming. The property is an absolute dream, with lush jungle corridors surrounding the house and wildlife everywhere. We saw monkeys in the trees almost daily, toucans nearby, large blue morpho butterflies drifting through the garden, and two huge iguanas regularly lounging beside the pool. The yard is beautiful and full of life at every glance, so even sitting at the dining table felt like being immersed in nature. The pool was refreshing and perfect for relaxed, non-beach days. The bedrooms had excellent air conditioning and became comfortably cold within just a minute or two. Best of all, the beach is only a few steps beyond the garden. There are also a couple of good beachfront restaurants within about 200 meters, with tables by the water and TVs for the World Cup matches. A truly special Punta Uva stay.

Great place close to the beach and A/C in every bedroom. Great find.

What a beautiful home set right in the middle of the jungle and only steps away from the beach. We saw so many monkeys a sloth butterflies toads and crabs on the property. The outdoor living style and open floor plan were really nice. The pool was amazing. Really added to our experience. The housekeeper was very friendly and took great care of us while we were there. The beds were comfy and the bathrooms were beautiful. We had an amazing stay and have already discussed coming back to Punta Juancito again.

We have stayed in the Punta Uva area several times and Punta Juancito was the BEST choice we’ve ever made! The home is more beautiful in person than the photos, the garden is full of beautiful flora and fauna, and the location/proximity to the beach cannot be beat. We spent 4 nights enjoyed the sounds of the waves from our bedroom, the intoxicating smell of ylang ylang, and nonstop visits from monkeys, lizards, macaws, parrots and more. Sue the caretaker was extremely welcoming and helpful with all our requests. The showers are hot, the air conditioning cools off the room almost immediately and the kitchen is well equipped. Lastly, the pool was clean and refreshing - the perfect spot to watch wildlife and take in the garden and ocean air. We hope to return to Punta Juancito in the near future for another perfect Caribbean vacation.

A wonderful tropical oasis right next to a beautiful beach. Nothing left to be desired.

A beach house in a prime location. We enjoyed being so close to the beach and the new pool. In the mornings, we could watch the monkeys having breakfast and the sloths moving slowly through the trees. Thank you for everything, Juan!

Juan’s beach house is a truly unique and magical experience. While we enjoyed venturing off the property to visit other beaches and nature reserves, we quickly realized that so much of what we had come to Costa Rica to experience was right there: abundant wildlife -resident sloths, iguanas, monkeys, SO many birds and a beautiful swimmable beach steps from the house! If you are looking to be immersed in nature, this is a truly amazing place to land. The house itself invites outdoor living with its upper deck, lower living/ kitchen areas and pool deck. Juan was a wonderful host, we appreciated how proactive and communicative he was. We are so grateful to have spent time here!

We had a great stay at Juan's place. Excellent location--right across from the beach, we felt like we were on the beach. Walking distance to some cool restaurants. Right when we arrived there was a group of howler monkeys in the big tree on the property. About 5 females with brand new babies! The kid's loved the new pool which we weren't expecting because we booked his place before the pool was built. It really helped with cooling off when we weren't at the beach. The bedrooms/bathrooms are very nice and closed off with AC. We enjoyed the rustic open air kitchen/living room. However, if you are someone that doesn't like bugs or critters, be warned that you are in the jungle and they will come in since the living/kitchen area does not have walls. We had a crab scuttle into the living room (which we thought was awesome) and lots of different types of big Costa Rican insects! If you drop any food, clean it up immediately or there will be a colony of ants on it in minutes :)

Our family of 6 had a great time at Juan’s place. Beautiful beach right in front of house, busy on the weekend but not too bad during the week. A/C’s worked great in the rooms and always had hot water when we showered. The caretakers that live on the property were great and answered all of our questions. We had a wonderful stay.

We recently had the pleasure of staying at a beach house listed on Airbnb, and it was an absolutely fantastic experience! The location couldn't have been better—just a short walk from the beach, with stunning views and easy access to local attractions. The caretakers were incredibly welcoming and attentive, always ready to assist with any questions or needs we had during our stay. Their hospitality really made us feel at home. We also appreciated the complimentary laundry service, which made our trip even more convenient. Overall, I highly recommend this beach house for anyone looking for a relaxing getaway. We had such a great time that we’re already planning our return visit!
