This rental is a true GEM! The panoramic views of the coastline and whale tail are truly unobstructed, you’ll see magnificent sunsets and exotic birds, you can hear the waves crashing at night and the stargazing was phenomenal. The thoughtful floor plan of this home worked very well for our group, noise from the kitchen/living room did not seem to travel to the back bedrooms and affect those who were sleeping while others were awake. We really enjoyed the privacy it offers, yet it is still centrally located to Uvita and all the resources you may need. Even though the road is paved I would still recommend a 4x4 vehicle, the grade is quite steep and our little Hyundai was struggling. Lastly the hosts were extremely accommodating, responsive, and just phenomenal! Michelle helped us arrange airport transportation (highly recommended rather than driving yourself, you can rent a car in Uvita) as well as assist us with questions we had throughout our stay. Huge thank you to Michelle!

The villa is just amazing! The view is breathtaking, the villa is splendid, very well equipped. The infinity pool, the birds in abundance (including a toucan), the outdoor space in full... Honestly, stop hesitating and book! You won't regret it.

An absolute stunner of a place!!! Wish we could move in permanently. The only issue was that the alarm didn’t work and back door didn’t lock. That is the only reason I didn’t give this 5 stars.

The house was exactly as described. Pool was amazing, incredible views, beautiful in every way. It is not walkable, but the compromise is the most stunning views. Can’t wait to go back!

Even better than the pictures showed. Fantastic views, spotlessly clean, and Josue catered to our every need. House is spectacular, the views even more so. Three minutes to the beach. Gated, secure, and overall, just awesome. We’ll be back!

Totally awesome! Toucans, monkeys, sloths, best ocean views we've ever seen anywhere. Super comfortable and very clean. All the amenities in perfect condition. Wish we had been able to stay forever. Manager was outstanding. Great memories. Best part of Costa Rica for sure. Wish I could show a picture of the 4 foot sloth we had in our driveway. Unbelievable. Forever protected jungle right across the street, yet we had paved roads right to our front door.
