Casa LORAS: Jungle Villa w/Pool. Beach Views - Houses for Rent in Uvita, Puntarenas Province, Costa Rica

We loved our stay for 10 days. The house is very much in the jungle and the sounds at night are amazing. The swimming pool is fantastic and we enjoyed using it every day.

Thank you very much for choosing our house and for the compliments. You are welcome anytime.

great place. 5 minutes tops from beach. Great sunset from pool overlooking ocean. would stay again.

The Loras property is beautifully located and private in the middle of the jungle. The pool area in particular is comfortably designed and offers great views; you can relax here and enjoy the peaceful surroundings. But a few points bothered us. In the pool area, there are cameras installed that are pointed at the sunbathing lawn and the barbecue area. While we understand the need for security, we still found it uncomfortable that areas where people often spend time in their swimsuits were being filmed. Unfortunately, the shower was mostly cold, and the cleanliness in the bathroom, especially in the shower area, could have been better. Also, both air-conditioning units were quite noisy, so we turned them off at night. Overall, a great location and a beautiful pool area, but with compromises in terms of comfort and privacy.

Die Unterkunft Loras liegt sehr schön und privat mitten im Dschungel. Besonders der Poolbereich ist komfortabel gestaltet und bietet eine tolle Aussicht, hier kann man gut entspannen und die ruhige Umgebung genießen. Ein paar Punkte haben uns aber gestört. Im Poolbereich sind Kameras installiert, die auf die Liegewiese und den Grillbereich gerichtet sind. Sicherheit ist verständlich, trotzdem fanden wir es unangenehm, dass Bereiche gefilmt werden, in denen man sich oft im Badeanzug aufhält. Die Dusche war leider meist kalt und die Sauberkeit im Bad, vor allem im Duschbereich, hätte besser sein können. Außerdem waren beide Klimaanlagen recht laut, sodass wir sie nachts ausgeschaltet haben. Insgesamt tolle Lage und schöner Poolbereich, aber mit Abstrichen bei Komfort und Privatsphäre.

The location was ok as long as you’ve got transportation. The layout was good for our family. However, it wasn’t cleaned well. There were whisker hairs from shaving all over the sink and long hairs stuck on the floor in the bathroom. There were multiple dead bugs through the house including one with ants on the kitchen counter. We’ve stayed in many places in Costa Rica and a key to managing the insects is to keep everything clean and food put away. Yes insects happen but we’ve always found places clean upon arrival. There was also what we thought was sand on the bedside table / bed frame. When I indicated that I noticed we were advised it was termites and it was booked to be dealt with. Overall the cleanliness / maintenance of the property could be improved. (Windows, Fans etc need cleaning as well). It was also advertised that there was a safe which there was not. When I inquired they realized it was a mistake in the listing.

Thank you for sharing your experience. We appreciate your feedback and take all guest comments seriously. We sincerely apologize for the oversight regarding the safe—this was indeed a listing error that has now been corrected. We also appreciate you bringing the termite dust to our attention, which we addressed promptly after your message. Regarding cleanliness, we always strive to provide a spotless environment. Our location in a tropical setting means occasional insects can appear despite our best efforts, which is why we provide clear information about this in our listing description. We also received Multiple messages throughout your stay with Detailed Observations🔍🕵️, and we responded to each one in an effort to address your concerns. We're glad the layout worked well for your family and hope you enjoyed your time in Costa Rica despite these issues. Our goal is continuous improvement, and your feedback helps us achieve that.

Viviana's Property was stunning, lush and beautifully done. It was very comfortable for our stay. We had great communication throughout our stay. There is no cell service here and unfortunetly the wifi was not working either so we had to drive to town to work during the days but she did send someone out to try and fix the issue but was never resolved. Also the hot water worked intermittently for a minute at a time so beware of that. Althought it is a very secluded and you think you have total privacy be aware that there are multiple hidden cameras throughout the property watching every angle on the outside. Thank you :)

Thank you for your review and for acknowledging the beauty of our property. We would like to clarify one important point for future guests: All cameras on the property are fully disclosed, not hidden. They are explicitly listed in our Airbnb listing description, detailed in our digital and printed house manual, and clearly marked with signage throughout the property. They are installed for everyone's safety and monitor only exterior areas. Regarding the WiFi, the issue was reported two days after the failure occurred, on a Saturday, and our technician was on-site Monday at noon to address it. We also want to note that our second internet service at the pool area remained fully functional throughout the weekend, providing an alternative workspace. We sincerely apologize for the hot water inconsistency. As with any remote property, occasional issues can arise, and we appreciate your patience as we work to resolve them. We value your feedback and wish you well. ¡Pura vida!

Beautiful place! We were very comfortable during the 12 days we were there. The house is very comfortable and well equipped and is only 10 minutes from the beach (by car). Beautiful pool area! We appreciate the flexibility of the check-out! Just a few recommendations for improvement: - replace garbage bags and toilet paper every 3-4 days and remove garbage (we had to ask constantly) and toilet paper should be considered for the entire stay, not just for 3 days - The A/C in the second bedroom is quite old and very noisy, it works anyway but it could be renovated

Hermoso lugar! Estuvimos muy cómodos durante los 12 días que estuvimos ahí. La casa es muy cómoda y está bien equipada y se encuentra a solo 10 minutos de la playa (en coche). Hermosa zona de la piscina! Agradecemos la flexibilidad del check out! Solo algunas recomendaciones para mejorar: - renovar bolsas de basura y papel higiénico cada 3-4 días y retirar la basura (lo teníamos que pedir constantemente) y el papel higiénico se debería considerar por toda la estadía, no solo para 3 días - el a/c de la segunda habitación es bastante antiguo y muy ruidoso, de todas formas funciona pero se podría renovar

Thank you very much, come back whenever you like.

Beautiful house 5 minutes' drive from the beach. In a lush jungle with lots of birds, waking up to the sound of toucans every morning was heavenly. Wonderful stay

Magnifique casa à 5 minutes de voiture de la plage . Dans une jungle luxuriante avec beaucoup d’oiseaux, se réveiller au son des toucans chaque matin etait paradisiaque. Magnifique séjour

We're glad you you enjoyed your stay. It was a pleasure to host you.

The place was amazing! After our three-hour drive from San José, we arrived at the picturesque accommodation. Beautiful views of the Pacific from the pool. Our kids loved the pool. The property itself is exactly as shown on the pictures. On the complex itself, you feel right at home. Beaches are nearby by car (about 10-15 minutes). I can recommend the place 100% if we want to vacation near Uvita.

Die Unterkunft war grandios! Nach unserer dreistündigen Anfahrt aus San José kamen wir in der malerischen Unterkunft an. Vom Pool aus hat man einen super Blick auf den Pazifik. Unsere Kinder liebten den Pool. Die Unterkunft selbst ist genau wie auf den Bildern zu sehen. Auf der Anlage selbst fühlt man sich gleich wie zu Hause. Strände sind in der Nähe mit dem Auto (ca 10-15min) erreichbar. Die Unterkunft kann ich zu 100% empfehlen, wenn wir in der Nähe von Uvita Urlaub machen wollt.

Muy buena ubicación, el lugar súper lindo

Very nice, surrounded by nature as shown in the photos. Clean, tidy and always attentive to inquiries.

Muy lindo rodeado de naturaleza como se muestra en las fotos. Limpio, ordenado y siempre atentos a las consultas.

Very well received and the host was friendly, we liked the excellent place, close to all the places you can visit to enjoy

Muy bien recibida y la anfitrión amigable, el lugar excelente nos ha gustado, cerca de todos los sitios donde se puede visitar para disfrutar

Pleasant and peaceful end to my stay in Costa Rica. The place was clean and easy to get to. I was able to get plenty of rest. I would definitely return here when I come back.

We were sad to have to leave this place, simply beautiful, quiet, clean and tidy. Thanks to the hosts for giving us such nice hospitality. 100% Recommended

Nos dolió tener que salir de este lugar , simplemente hermoso, tranquilo , limpio y ordenado. Gracias a los anfitriónes por darnos una hospitalidad tan bonita. 100% Recomendados

Muchas gracias por sus palabras,  vuelvan cuando gusten.

very nice place and excellent communication

muy bonito lugar y la comunicación excelente

Viviana's house is amazing. It has everything you need and it is very well preserved, looks very new. Although the way to reach the house is a bit steppy, then you get the full peace on a wonderful surrounding. Viviana is a great host. Communication is very easy and she is always ready to help you. Great stay!

Unfortunately only 1 night, was so beautiful!

Very good accommodation and beautiful environment in nature in a quiet area with a beautiful pool. There are plenty of birds to watch. The path to get there is passable, the GPS shows the correct address.

Logement très bien et bel environnement dans la nature au calme avec une belle piscine. Il y a pleins oiseaux à observer. Le chemin pour y accéder est praticable, le gps indique la bonne adresse.

Muchas gracias por hospedarse con nosotros. Gracias por la hermosa reseña, les deseamos muchas bendiciones y vuelvan cuando tengan gusto. 🙂

The house is very nice and cozy. And communication with the hosts was very easy. I recommend it

La casa es  muy bonita y acogedora. Y la comunicación con los anfitriones fue muy fácil. Lo recomiendo

Gracias por hospedarse con nosotros y por los comentarios.

The place is extremely beautiful, and very quiet. The cottage has everything you need to spend a few days. Viviana is always attentive to my messages. The property is full of nature, just to disconnect. My only recommendations: - Try to go in a 4x4 car as there are sections with many slopes and everything is ballast. -The bed in the room is double size and is not comfortable for 2 people to sleep together (they could put a queen). -Finally, the A/C in the second bedroom is old and makes too much noise (you have to turn it off to sleep). The rest, everything is good, the kitchen is well-equipped, the bathroom is spacious and the terrace is beautiful with that view of the jungle.

El lugar es sumamente hermoso, y muy tranquilo. La casita tiene todo lo que necesitas para pasar unos días. Viviana siempre atenta a mis mensajes. La propiedad llena de naturaleza, apenas para desconectarse. Mis únicas recomendaciones: -Tratar de ir en un carro 4x4 ya que hay tramos con muchas pendientes y todo es lastre. -La cama de la habitación es tamaño doble y no es cómoda para dormir 2 personas juntas (podrían poner una queen). -Por último, el A/C de la segunda habitación es viejo y hace demasiado ruido (hay que apagarlo para dormir). El resto, todo bien, la cocina bien equipada, el baño amplio y la terraza hermosa con esa vista de la jungla.

Gracias por hospedarse con nosotros.  Nos alegra  saber que disfrutaron de su estadía.

A perfect place to share with family. Everything is super quiet, surrounded by nature, and with that rich sound of the forest that makes you disconnect. The house is comfortable and the kitchen was very well equipped, it had everything we needed. We feel very comfortable!

Un lugar perfecto para compartir en familia. Todo súper tranquilo, rodeado de naturaleza, y con ese sonido rico del bosque que te hace desconectar. La casa es cómoda y la cocina estaba muy bien equipada, tenía todo lo que necesitábamos. Nos sentimos muy a gusto!

Muchas gracias por su comentario. Nos agrada saber que pudieron disfrutar de su estadía. Son bienvenidos cuando gusten.

The villa is beautiful, great location, very well equipped. Viviana is very friendly, a super host and responds very quickly. It's a great touch to have containers for sorting waste and recycling.

La villa es preciosa, excelente ubicación, muy bien equipada. Viviana es muy amable, super anfitriona y responde muy rápido. Es un gran detalle que cuente con recipientes para clasificar los residuos y reciclar.

Muchas gracias Juan por sus comentarios, nos alegra saber que disfrutaron de su estadía. Vuelvan pronto.

Viviana was just fantastic. Very accommodating, helpful and always available. The surroundings were a dream, we also saw monkeys.

Viviana war einfach Fantastisch. Sehr zuvorkommend, Hilfsbereit und stetig erreichbar. Die Umgebung war ein Traum, wir sahen auch affen.

Excellent accommodation, very complete and comfortable and close to Playa Hermosa, recommended

Excelente hospedaje, muy completo y cómodo y cerca de Playa Hermosa, recomendado

We loved our stay in Viviana's place, she is very friendly and open to help.

Large folding doors between the living space & patio can be opened to combine the indoors with the outdoors.  Very private looking out into the jungle. A nightly parrot serenade followed by another in the morning of howler monkeys.  The kitchen has all the right stuff if you are planning on cooking in, including salt, pepper, oil, sugar, and other incidentals that you will probably forget on your way in.  Her guide to local tour companies, attractions, restaurants, food carts, genuine souvenirs, shopping, transportation, etc. are all spot on.  Also on her list of recommendation's is to get a massage  from her friend Karen. Do yourself a favor and indulge yourself, she is a true master of deep tissue.

Michael, thank you very much for your review. Also I really appreciate your recommendations, they totally makes sense. I'm going make some adjustments so that next guests (or even yourself) can have a better experience. You're welcome back anytime.

Beautiful stay. 10 min drive from Uvita and 2 min from Playa Hermosa. The suggested walk on the surrounding land is worth it: beautiful view of Marino Ballena! The host was very responsive and quick to resolve a minor issue with the water temperature. Thanks!

Beau séjour. À 10min de voiture d'Uvita et 2 min de Playa Hermosa. La marche suggérée sur le terrain avoisinant en vaut le détour : très beau point de vue sur Marino Ballena ! L'hôte a été très réactive et rapide à régler une issue mineure avec la température de l'eau. Merci !

Nos complace saber que disfrutaron su estancia. Son bienvenidos de nuevo cuando gusten. Pura vida!

Everything was excellent, just as advertised. They were very friendly and always available. A very pleasant stay near the beaches

Todo excelente tal y como estaba publicado, fueron muy amable y siempre disponibles, una estancia muy agradable cerca de las playas

Muchas gracias por hospedarse con nosotros, vuelvan cuando tengan gusto! 🙂

Everything excellent, as described and even better

Todo excelente, de acuerdo a lo descrito y aún mejor

Don Daniel, muchas gracias por hospedarse con nosotros. Son bienvenidos cuando gusten.

We're glad you enjoyed your stay. You're welcome back anytime.

Beautiful jungle location! Loved all the sounds of the parrots in the trees and could hear howler monkeys in the distance. Space was quaint and had sufficient kitchen space and tools. Cannot comment on the pool, it looked beautiful but we did not use it as we went to the ocean almost daily which is very close. Thanks for a nice place to stay!

peaceful, in the middle of nature. Nice pool. the pool area is great to hang out and the view is spectacular. Viviana and Will are friendly and helped us with every question we had. would recommend!

We enjoyed our stay here in Uvita. It’s in the thick of the jungle, with a great outdoor pool and surroundings, and responsive but private hosts. The road is rugged, but we never had any issues getting in with our car, even without using the 4 wheel drive. We did find it challenging for our longer stay with our family though. Because of the rain, we ate most meals indoors on barstools, which was challenging with toddlers. The seating and mattresses were pretty uncomfortable, without the option for blankets (sheets only), and using towels for 1.5 weeks straight that didn’t dry with the humidity left us all feeling a bit yucky. We did use the air conditioning a bit to try and dry things out, but would have been nice to have a blanket or throw in the bed. Overall, the home is good value, but felt restricting with limited covered space to get outdoors.

What a rainy season we've had this year, especially with Tropical Storm Sara! It's a shame to hear until now that you needed additional things. As you mentioned before, we are responsive and try to provide what is needed as soon as possible, as we did when you requested toilet paper and gas for the stove, but you didn't say anything about towels and blankets.  Regarding the bar stools inside, that's exactly what's presented in the pictures. If you pay attention to the listing description, we explicitly mention that this place is NOT recommended for babies under 2 years old (future guests, please read that). Outdoors, we have not 1, but 2 seating areas that are more family-friendly. We understand that it was difficult to use them due to the rain, but we need to talk about the fact that it was you who chose to visit the tropical forest during the peak of the Rainy Season. Still, we always provide extra sheets, blankets, towels and even a dryer, all at no cost, all you had to do was ask.

We had a great stay in Uvita. Lots to do in the area. The hosts were very helpful in helping us find activities and always responded quickly.

Beautiful house in the jungle. We loved it! Everything was perfect.

Magnifique maison dans la jungle. Nous avons adoré! Tout était parfait.

We quickly lost our way to Viviana's place! A just great house, super equipped (we only missed one chair, but that happens to us five more often) and clean, in the middle of the green and the pool was a dream. We had some lush rains during our stay, but were very, very happy to spend the time in the house of Lora. Viviana was very accessible the whole time, had recommendations for the area ready and brought us and the children quickly as the cappuccino /capuchin monkeys raged on her house roof and through the forest. The way to the property (and back) is not without, especially in the rain. The house is still perfectly located to get to the place, to the surrounding beaches, supermarkets and restaurants.

Wir haben uns blitzschnell in die Unterkunft von Viviana verliert! Ein einfach tolles Haus, super ausgestattet (nur ein Stuhl hat uns gefehlt, aber das passiert uns Fünfen häufiger) und sauber, mitten im Grünen und der Pool war ein Traum. Wir hatten während unseres Aufenthalts einige üppige Regengüsse abbekommen, aber haben die Zeit sehr, sehr gerne im Haus Loras verbracht. Viviana war die ganze Zeit sehr gut erreichbar, hatte Empfehlungen für die Gegend parat und holte uns und die Kinder schnell, als die Cappuccino / Kapuziner-Äffchen auf ihrem Hausdach und durch den Wald tobten. Der Weg zur Unterkunft (und zurück) ist nicht ohne, vor allem bei Regen. Das Haus ist dennoch perfekt gelegen, um in den Ort, zu den umliegenden Stränden, zu Supermärkten und Restaurants zu kommen.

We loved our stay. One regret: not staying there any longer. Ultra nice properties. We left fruit on arrival. Have met our needs. Very clean. Very clean pool. Lovely place. Takes a 4x4 to get there.

Nous avons adoré notre séjour. Un seul regret : ne pas avoir resté plus longtemps à cet endroit. Proprios ultra gentils. Nous ont laissé des fruits à l arrivée. Ont répondu à nos besoins. Très propre. Piscine très propre. Bel endroit. Prend un 4x4 pour s y rendre.

Great square! Quiet and central for visiting the area. The pool and terrace are beautiful. We saw a family of monkeys and toucans. Ideal for families!

Superbe place! Tranquille et central pour visiter le secteur. La piscine et la terrasse sont magnifiques. Nous avons vu une famille de singes et des toucans. Parfait pour les familles!

For the 2nd time we have already booked one of Viviana's houses. The location is just great and the whole family very warm and nice, so we felt right at home. The individually and lovingly designed garden is magical, we were able to discover new things there every day and explore the flora and fauna of Costa Rica. The pool also provided a lot of joy, especially with my daughter. We didn't miss anything in the house and of course everything was clean and tidy. The surrounding area offers some great excursion options. For example, we were able to watch humpback whales with their calves (end of July) and the Nauyaca waterfalls are busy, but impressive. The secluded beach of the national park is always worth a visit anyway.

Bereits zum 2. Mal haben wir eines der Häuser von Viviana gebucht. Die Lage ist einfach großartig und die gesamte Familie sehr herzlich und nett, sodass wir uns sofort wohl gefühlt haben. Der individuell und liebevoll gestaltete Garten ist zauberhaft, wir konnten dort jeden Tag Neues entdecken und die Flora und Fauna Costa Ricas erkunden. Auch der Pool sorgte vor allem bei meiner Tochter für viel Freude. Im Haus fehlte es uns an nichts und es war natürlich alles sauber und ordentlich. Die Umgebung bietet einige tolle Ausflugsmöglichkeiten. Zum Beispiel konnten wir Buckelwale mit ihren Kälbern (Ende Juli) beobachten und die Nauyaca Wasserfälle sind zwar gut besucht, aber beeindruckend. Der einsame Strand des Nationalparks ist sowieso immer einen Besuch wert.

Great place. Small window unit AC in a single bedroom (not master BR) was insufficient to cool house. It would be helpful if host would provide a large fan to move air around at least. Shower water temperature is not possible to control. Otherwise the place was perfect. Beautiful pool in a lush private setting with narrow view of sunset over mountains/sea. Host was very responsive and the place was clean and close to Uvita.

Hi Josh, Thanks for the feedback. After your visit we checked the air conditioning and it seems like it wasn't set correctly because it was set to fan, but it's working again now. Also, another air conditioning unit was installed in the other room so the house is much cooler now. The hot water is regulated directly from the shower handle, moving it to the right (cold water) or left (hot water) as needed. Other than that, we're glad you enjoyed your stay and you're welcome back.

The villa can be difficult to get to but is secure and relaxing. The host is helpful and available to address any needs.  The views, pool, and surroundings are just beautiful. There is only a washer onsite with a clothes line for drying. You will need to time drying for when it is not raining. The house was clean and stocked with essential items. I would highly recommend staying here if you are ok with staying off the beaten path a bit.

We had a pleasant stay at Viviana's. The accommodation is in the middle of nature and close to Marino Baleina Park. The pool is great for a good time relaxing. Playa Hermosa is very close. Recommended!

Nous avons passé un agréable séjour chez Viviana. Le logement est au milieu de la nature et proche du parc Marino Baleina. La piscine est super pour passer des bons moments de détente. Playa Hermosa est tout proche. Je recommande!

Wonderful home located close enough to town but far enough away to be right in the middle of the beautiful nature! You do need a 4x4 but after a trip or two up and down the mountain, you'll be a pro and it just adds to the adventure. I have no hesitation in recommending!

The very cute place. William who took care of us, very friendly, attentive and willing to collaborate. The house, the gardens and the very beautiful views. Yes, it is important to communicate that especially in rainy conditions a low cart, an under-experienced driver or electric cart may have trouble reaching the location.

El lugar muy lindo. William quien nos atendió, muy amable, atento y dispuesto a colaborar. La casa, los jardines y las vistas muy hermosas. Sí importante comunicar que sobretodo en condiciones de lluvia un carro bajo, un chofer poco experimentado o carro eléctrico puede tener problemas para llegar a la ubicación.

We had a great night with beautiful views of the jungle here. The host was very cooperative and friendly as we had to leave earlier for family reasons. We were happy to stay with such nice people.

Wir haben eine tolle Nacht mit wunderschönem Blick auf den Jungle hier verbracht. Der Gastgeber war sehr kooperativ und freundlich, da wir aus familiären Gründen früher abreisen mussten. Wir waren froh bei so netten Leuten unterzukommen.

Very nice house in the middle of plants and birds. Viviana and Will are very welcoming. Thank you very much for this beautiful stay.

Très jolie maison au milieu des plantes et des oiseaux. Viviana et Will sont très accueillants. Merci à vous pour ce beau séjour.

We really enjoyed the time at Viviana's and Will's place. They were very helpful and quick to answer any questions. The pool was the highlight for our kids 😍

Wir haben die Zeit in Viviana’s und Will‘s Unterkunft sehr genossen. Sie waren sehr hilfsbereit und bei Fragen schnell zur Stelle. Der Pool war das Highlight für unsere Kinder 😍

We enjoyed our stay very much. This is a nice place to rest and observe wildlife (including parrots, toucans, lizards, all kinds of insects and howler monkeys). We also enjoyed the pool and the very warm contact with Viviana's family. One flaw of this listing is that air conditioning is only effective in one room, moderately efficient in other rooms and not effective in the second bedroom. During our stay, it was very hot so we had trouble keeping the accommodation fresh. Also, the dirt road to get there is rather long and rough. Luckily, the directions offered were very clear. In general, we thoroughly enjoyed our family stay and enjoyed enjoying the family property. For the price, we highly recommend this place!

Nous avons beaucoup aimé notre séjour. Il s’agit d’un lieu agréable pour se reposer et observer la faune (dont des perroquets, toucans, lézards, toutes sortes d’insectes et singes hurleurs). Nous avons aussi apprécié la piscine et le contact très chaleureux avec la famille de Viviana. Un défaut de ce logement est que l’air conditionné est seulement efficace dans une chambre, moyennement efficace dans les autres pièces et aucunement efficace dans la deuxième chambre. Lors de notre séjour, il faisait très chaud donc nous avions de la difficulté à garder le logement frais. De plus, la route de terre pour s’y rendre est plutôt longue et rough. Heureusement, les indications offertes étaient très claires. De façon générale, nous avons beaucoup apprécié notre séjour en famille et avons apprécié profiter de la propriété de la famille. Pour le prix, nous recommandons vivement cet endroit!

Viviana and Will's place is in the jungle and very peaceful. could not ask for better accommodations. Pool was wonderful to use on hot days and the clisest beach is only 10 minutes away! great choice of restaurants in uvita.

Viviana is friendly and gives good instructions to easily find the location. The accommodation is very pleasant , well located, quiet and very clean. The garden is very beautiful and you can observe toucans and the pool is very nice.

Viviana est sympathique et donne de bonnes instructions pour trouver facilement le lieu. Le logement est très agréable , bien situé, au calme et très propre. Le jardin est très beau et on peut observer des toucans et la piscine est très appréciable.

Loved our stay here. It’s beautiful and our son was so excited to find his first poison frog living under the steps!

A beautiful place in the middle of the jungle...with a pool!! A very pretty and very clean villa having a 4×4 for access is recommended by real adventurers a total change of scenery I recommend it without worries thank you for its unforgettable good times

Un endroit magnifique au milieux de la jungle...avec une piscine !! Une villa tres jolie et tres propre avoir un 4×4 pour l'accès est recommandé des vrais aventuriers un dépaysement total je recommande sans soucis merci pour ses bons moments inoubliable

This is a magical spot with a beautiful jungle backdrop. The sounds of the birds was a welcome noise after coming from a busy lifestyle. The pool is unbeatable with peekaboo ocean views, and Viviana and Will also clued us into a secret spot to check out the famous Whales Tale from High above. If you are looking for a jungle retreat, this is the place to go!

Amazing place and price. Would definitely stay again!

We really enjoyed our stay here. We saw toucans in the morning while enjoying the pool. Nice lush gardens, very close to the beach (by car, the road is steep and bumpy).

Excellent place and service from Viviana and Will! Highly recommended and would definitely return

Excelente lugar y atención por parte de Viviana y Will! Súper recomendado y definitivamente volvería

Great place to stay! Great hosts. We stayed for a week and stayed busy in the surrounding areas while using this house as a base. We really enjoyed using the swimming pool.

We loved the location (and stayed even longer than originally planned), it was beautifully set on a quiet, foresty hill with lots of wildlife. The road up the hill is a rough dirt road, we didn't need a 4x4 but we can imagine that you might need one if it's raining. Down the hill is a beautiful and free beach and the pool at the AirBnb was really nice as well.

I had a perfect stay at this mountain home! This is a cozy space that is found in the heart of nature that happens to be close to all the best beach spots and local shops. Highly recommend to book your stay here during your vacation!

Nice cabin on top of a hill, with sea view and nice pool!

Lovely home in the heart of nature. The pool is a real plus to cool off . The parrots were there, we saw monkeys in the trees of the properties around and frogs in the small pools.  Manuel Antonio Park is 1 hr drive away and Parc Ballena in Bahía is 15 min away

Jolie maison au cœur de la nature. La piscine est un vrai plus pour se rafraîchir . Les perroquets étaient au rendez-vous, nous avons aperçu des singes dans les arbres des propriétés autour et des grenouilles dans les petits bassins.  Le parc manuel Antonio est à 1 h de route et le parc ballena à Bahía est à 15 mn

We had a lovely time here with our family of four. We had everything we needed in and around the house. The pool was so refreshing and in a beautiful spot! We loved all the nature sounds surrounding the house. The rooms were lovely with clean beds. We arrived in heavy rain and had no reception so we couldn’t find the gate. We asked around and they contacted our host and Will immediately came to get us. Absolutely great service and so friendly. We would highly recommend this place if you are looking for a calm, quiet get away in the middle of nature. We loved it here! See you next time

This location is ideal for decompressing; it is in close proximity to Hermosa Beach, and I strongly suggest renting a car or buggy in order to reach all of the nearby gorgeous spots.

I really enjoyed my stay here. Absolutely beautiful location ! Such a beautiful house, it really stood out to other Airbnb’s in Costa Rica

Beautiful views, spacious house, very well-equipped home almost like being at home.

Lindas vistas, vivienda espaciosa, hogar muy equipado casi como estar en casa.

Great accommodation, very responsive hosts. We had a great time with friends, I would highly recommend it!

Super logement, hôtes très réactifs. Nous avons passé un super séjour entre amis, je recommande fortement !

A really very nice accommodation with everything you need. We felt very comfortable. Arriving, a vehicle with a 4x4 drive is definitely an advantage. Our hosts were very friendly and always responded quickly to questions. The property is a very clear recommendation.

Eine wirklich sehr schöne Unterkunft mit allem was man braucht. Wir haben uns hier sehr wohl gefühlt. Für die Anreise ist ein Fahrzeug mit 4x4 Antrieb auf jeden Fall von Vorteil. Unsere Gastgeber waren sehr freundlich und haben auf Fragen immer schnell geantwortet. Die Unterkunft ist eine ganz klare Empfehlung.

Staying at viviana's place was very nice, she gave us great tips and was very helpful. She even organized for us to see baby turtles. Thank you for that!

Der Aufenthalt bei viviana war sehr schön, sie hat uns tolle Tipps gegeben und war sehr hilfsbereit. Sie hat für uns sogar organisiert dass wir Baby Schildkröten sehen durften. Vielen Dank dafür!

Will & Viviana were wonderful hosts. Very responsive and helped with all of our needs and requests. The home and property are beautiful and well maintained.

Viviana and Will’s place is exactly what you see in the pictures. It’s beautiful, clean, and peaceful. The large windows and sliding glass door made us feel so close to nature. When you step outside, it was like stepping into the jungle. We got to see many animals and the plants were like nothing we had ever seen before. And the view alone is worth the stay! You’re literally in the middle of the jungle yet close to beach and towns full of restaurants and fun things to do… getting the best of all worlds. The hosts make this place even more special. They are some of the nicest people we have ever met. They were quick to respond and help in any way they could. We felt right at home. I would definitely stay here again. It’s truly a tropical paradise.

Wonderful place, we really enjoyed the stay - it was very relaxing (well, except for the parrots in the morning ;)), clean and cosy, spacious. The house is simply and efficiently furnished and equipped. The huge windows allow you to look at the gorgeous greenery around. The beach is about 5 minutes by car, easily accessible and very nice. We think it might be good to have a 4WD in the rainy season - maybe ask the owner about it.

This is a special custom built oasis. Will & Vivi have spent a lot of time building this modern home and making it special complete with outdoor seating, beautiful flowers & plants growing everywhere. The world of the rainforest feels like it surrounds you as the noises from birds can be heard, a open air kitchen & living room is the perfect place to watch a tropical storm or sunset. Everything was perfect for our family- kid safe

Aves del Paraiso was our "home" for a month and we have so many good memories of living on "the mountain," from the afternoon rains that turned the lush foliage around the house a shiny, wet green, to our walks up the hill to see perfect views of Marino Ballena (Whaletail Beach/Park) to friendly family interactions with Yamileth and Dona Aida (medicine woman). We truly felt like we were part of a community and were being looked out for the whole time we were there. Will is really attentive, always trying to accommodate requests and needs. He even erected an outdoor bench/eating area while we were there, since he could see that we spent a lot of time "working remotely" from the front patio. We also made out just fine with taxi transport (instead of renting a car). Our favorite driver was Carlos, so reliable, always on time, almost always available. And easier to let the 4x4 taxis manage the unpaved roads. This house is perfectly situated about 15 mins (by car) from the main part of Uvita (about 4,000 colones or $6.50 from house to Uvita); it's about 20-25 mins to Dominical and same to Ballena. One hour to the North is Manuel Antonio and one hour to the South is Sierpe where you can catch a river taxi to a nearly secluded beach and check out Corcovado National Park. Walking down the mountain, you can readily access Playa Hermosa beach. But walking, in general, is not an easy feat in these parts. The main road (Highway 34) does not have a sidewalk or shoulder to walk on. Thus, you can walk down the mountain, but once you're at the bottom, you'll be walking in tall-ish grass and a tiny rim of road, if you want to get to Uvita. Better to be safe and catch a ride. We did deal with a lot of insects at the house (it IS the jungle, after all) but we just kept a "bug cup" by the door to escort them out. There is also a rooster, roaring howler monkeys, chatty birds and neighboring cows. At night, the jungle gets noisier than during the day, but it's such an experience of the aliveness of NATURE. Since we stayed a month, we broke up our work life with a long weekend to Dominical, and then short trips at the end of our stay to Manuel Antonio and Corcovado. Around Uvita and on the mountain, there is good food/restaurants. Rancho Cielo Alto has farm-to-table sit-down meals, and Rancho Remo / Gusto is an Italian place on the mountain with unforgettable fresh-made pastas. On Tuesdays, the produce truck comes by the house and sells everything from papaya and mango to plantains, tomatoes and onions. Cash is very useful--and in our case, colones was more convenient. Less thinking and back and forth translating of currency. Once we had beach to compare to mountain, even though it was lovely being down at the beach, the mountain has so much to offer - not touristy, cooler temps (generally) with breezes, fewer (almost none) mosquitoes - I only had ONE in my room, the entire time I stayed -- and the Tico community feel. Oh, and Stewart the Dog...he'll keep watch at the house for you. We loved him! Can't wait to visit again. "Our mountain" :) Carolina y Theresita xoxo (Kennerly and Kim)

Perfect airbnb tucked away in the mountain side. Very well equipped kitchen and perfect for anyone looking for something clean, cozy and affordable during their costa stay, the views weren't half bad either 😎

Basic clean accommodations. Great place to stay for the price. You can hear cows and parrots every morning. Wifi is also good for working remote!

Very well equipped house, surrounded by a beautiful garden. Close to the great Playa Hermosa and other nice places in the Uvita area! Will and Viviana are great hosts and very kind, lovely people that helped me with any questions and always responded nice and quickly.

Great location on the mountain, just 10 minutes from shopping venues. Super comfortable, clean and everything 2 adults and 4 kids occupied.

Excelente ubicación en la montaña, a sólo10 minutos de locales comerciales. Súper cómoda, limpia y con todo lo que ocupábamos 2 adultos y 4 niños.

We really enjoyed the accommodation. The house is very beautiful, with enough parking and security. With everything you need for a great vacation!

Disfrutamos mucho del alojamiento. La casa es muy hermosa, con suficiente parqueo y seguridad. Con todo lo que se necesita para pasar unas buenas vacaciones!

Will’s place was great, nice house with a great jungle-setting backyard in a quiet neighborhood! The tour recommendations were great as well for whale watching and cano island. A little tough to find but Will is very helpful in taking you there. Would definitely recommend for anyone from families to groups of friends. You need a car to get in and out of the nieghborhood.

I really enjoyed the location of this home. Being in the jungles, and just minutes from the beach. There are monkey's and cattle that play in the backyard and surrounding area. It was beautiful.
