Rainforest villa retreat with private pool - Houses for Rent in Uvita, Costa Rica

Great location tucked away in the wilderness. Thanks for hosting us!

We had an amazing stay, beautiful home with amazing wildlife all around us, peaceful yet easy reach of Uvita. Erika was brilliant making our stay more comfortable

Our family absolutely loved staying at Sarah’s place and would give it 5 stars without hesitation! Everything was exactly as described in the listing and reviews. The home is private, quiet, and surrounded by beautiful wildlife, which made it feel like a true getaway. The outdoor living space was amazing and we could have happily spent months here without any issues. We spent most of our days lounging in the hot sun by the pool and cooling off with a swim. The pool was actually much larger than it appears in the photos, which was a wonderful surprise! The kitchen was perfectly laid out and fully equipped with everything we needed to prepare great meals. The house is also just a 5-minute drive to Uvita, where there are plenty of dining options if you prefer to eat out. Highly recommend!

Ericka was outsanding and she helped us with local questions and details.  Great place for my family  the stay ... we will come back again!! Love the swimimg poll and outside architecture layout of the house in the middle of the trees. We really enjoyed the vacation rental house.

This place was amazing. It’s private, quiet, has everything you could possibly need. The onsite caretaker, Erika is the best also. So communicative and warm. The handbook says to follow a pin provided, however, it brought my sister to the wrong location. Following the name of the place in Google Maps did work, however. Either way, we saw monkeys, toucans, so many hummingbirds, butterflies, everything you could want all at the house. Miss it!

Everything went perfect from check-in to check-out. The house felt very safe, the pool sparkling clean.  Easy access from the main road.  Very close to the town of Uvita with great restaurants and a beautiful beach. Having Wonderful Ericka attentive to all our needs was a very valuable.   She really went beyond her duties and was most helpful.   Thank you for sharing your home with us, enabling an unforgettable Christmas celebration.

I loved the place. Recommend it very highly

Me encantó el lugar . Altamente recomendable

The place is just as it appears in the photos. In general, it is clean and organized.  The kitchen is well equipped. I would add black-out curtains for the bedrooms as a lot of light comes in at dawn.

El lugar es tal cual se mira en las fotos. En general está aseado y organizado.  La cocina está bien equipada. Agregaría cortinas black-out para los dormitorios ya que entra mucha luz al amanecer.

Hi Andrea, Thanks for staying at Mas Palmas. We have blackout curtains for each room and our care taker can set them up for you next time.

Wonderful place. Kids loved the pool in the living room. Surprisingly few bugs, was not a problem at all. We saw monkeys and many different birds from the house. Caretaker Ericka very attentive and friendly.

My family, close friends, and I stayed here for a month. The house is located near the main road and is easily accessible to many local attractions. The host, Sarah, was very friendly, responsive, and helpful. The on-site caretaker, Erika, kept the house clean and comfortable and was always available to help us. Having Erika and her family on-site was the highlight of our stay. I wouldn't call this a "Luxury Villa," and most items in the home are pretty worn. We had maintenance issues with the air conditioning, toilet, and washing machine. We realize these types of problems arise and they made every effort to fix promptly. Each bedroom had its own air conditioner and private bath. The rest of the house had an open-air concept, which can be beautiful. The downside to the outdoor living area and kitchen is the adjustment to the heat, bugs (geckos work hard to keep those away), and daytime noise. Unfortunately, we encountered construction noise during our stay.

Hi Debra, Thank you again for staying with us and your feedback. Since you checked out, we've replaced the toaster and blender that you mentioned were worn. We've also had repair people come and service the air conditioners, toilet, and washing machine. We look forward to hosting you again.

This is a lovely home. Beautiful design and layout with a pool to relax in while looking out at the jungle view. I highly recommend.

Very good place and very easy to get to, very close to everything, any express bus arrives. Surrounded by nature.

Muy buen lugar y muy facil de llegar, muy cerca de todo, igualmente cualquier express llega. Rodeado de naturaleza.

Sarah! We had a wonderful visit! This was one of our best vacations ever and your house was the best ever! Thank you and look forward to another trip!!!!

This was a dreamy place and the kids spent a lot of time in the pool. We didn't see the sloth, but of course he's not predictable. We did see a few gorgeous birds. There was plenty of crockery and flatware, although the pans could have used an upgrade.  It was nice to have the caretakers on the premises. There were plenty of towels--a real plus. The bugs weren't bad if we remembered to turn down the lights and close the curtains.  Really the main downside was the hassle of locking up, with  having to lock each room individually and then unlock and re-lock the gate whenever we wanted to go out.

Amazing and beautiful time! Highly recommend

We had an amazing time at Sarah's place. The place was just as described. It was lovely having someone come through and tidy up the beds/bathrooms/kitchen while we were out during the day. The pool was the perfect temperature, super clean and big enough to swim short laps in (it was a little hard to tell the size from the pics). Having AC in the bedrooms and super comfy beds made for amazing night's sleeps. The kitchen was well stocked including lots of tupperwear to keep any critters out, a brita in the fridge for filtered water and a blender for smoothies will all the amazing fruit. The location was great. Just out of the way enough to feel secluded and jungly but close enough to town and beachs that it was easy to pack lots of activities in.

We loved our week here! We spent most days by the pool, and appreciated the air conditioned bedrooms at night. The surrounding jungle was full of life, and we loved seeing monkeys during our stay as well as a lot of birds. We will definitely return next time we visit Costa Rica.

We had an AMAZING stay at Mas Palmas! The location is remote however very close to town. The house was so comfortable and beautiful. We were able to relax and enjoy the nature around us. It was exciting to see toucans and howler monkeys right from the house. We can not say enough about Erika and David. They are so kind and the place was spotless every day. They are wonderful people. The welcome packet had clear instructions and the recommendations were excellent. This place is 5 stars in every aspect and we would absolutely stay here again. Bridget and Gary

The villa + local area is top notch!  Two adult kids and I celebrating my daughter's 25th. Booking/pre-travel process was very smooth. Sarah's welcome doc was VERY useful. Rented a 4x4 SUV w/ Vamos (A+ svc and no $$ surprises).  The drive to the villa was easy and beautiful, especially the amazing sunset driving into Uvita!  Got to the villa at night due to traffic.  Kept in touch w/ caretaker, Erika, who was very patient w/ our changing ETAs. Once there, she and her husband got us settled in.  We packed in a bunch on our short trip - whale tour w/ Bahia Adventures 10 out of 10, Jungle ATV tours 10 out of 10, a day at Playa Hermosa 10 out of 10.  Kitchen is well stocked but we ate out a lot. Restaurant Exotica, Sibu and Sabor Espanol were a few of our favorites. The villa itself was perfect for us.  We loved the pool, surrounding foliage, sounds of nature. Monkeys visited the night before, and AM we left. Erika & hubby were awesome & kept things clean. Loved everything! Thanks, Sarah!

We had a great stay at a very unique house with open living room and kitchen to the outdoors. Splendid opportunity to experience the surrounding natural sounds without animals going into the open living room and kitchen. The host and the caretaker Erika were most helpful. Good base to the famous waterfall and Whale Tail.

We so enjoyed our stay at Mas Palmas - truly a one of a kind place and a highlight of our vacation in Costa Rica. The unique architecture, the step out pool and the breeze through the sheer curtains immediately transport you to a tropical, exotic oasis. Erika the caretaker was so welcoming and gave us a helpful introduction to the well appointed home. The home is kept immaculately. The cold 6 pack of beer in the fridge and ground coffee near the drip coffee maker were thoughtful and welcome additions. Even though we had unseasonably heavy rain during our stay, we enjoyed just hanging out, talking and playing cards, and soaking up the tropical sounds from the forest around the house.  Sarah and Logan were very responsive and answered all our questions leading up to our stay. Thank you for the great tips and restaurant suggestions. Lunch and pastries at Sibu Cafe and visiting Ballena Beach were delightful. We had a such a nice stay!

Thank you for your review of our home and the kind words. Mas Palmas is a special place. We are so glad you enjoyed your time. We'd be happy to have you back any time.

Our stay was excellent. Sarah was responsive and the caretakers, Ericka and David, were outstanding. I look forward to another stay and I recommend their home without hesitation. One thing to consider [that I didn’t] is travel time to/from the airport; it’s a bit of a drive, but scenic and well worth it. Pura Vida

Definitely the best place we have stayed in Costa Rica- the setting is just breathtaking- so quiet, beautiful well maintained, and a beautiful pool to top that! The kitchen was well stocked and we loved that Sarah left us a fresh bag of coffee and 6 pack of beer! We had a wonderful stay thanks So much!!!

We were seeking a break from our loud city life and boy did we find it here at Mas Palmas. You won’t see another house in sight from the property. Melania was magical at tidying up the house every day. We could walk barefoot the entire stay and not get anything on our feet!  We even had her husband cook dinner our first night of arrival and breakfast the following day. It was fantastic, and absolutely worth it. As others have said, it is authentic indoor/outdoor living at its finest. With mini splits in each bedroom and private bathrooms for each bedroom,  our family had enough space to spread out and be comfortable sleeping. The grocery stores of Uvita and Hermosa beach are both a quick 5 minute drive away. I would definitely recommend this property for both families and up to 3 couples.

In a word - perfect!!! The house is maintained at a very high level and equipped with everything, kitchen, yard, bedrooms.. The beds are great with cozy sheets, soft and cozy towels. The style of an open jungle house with a pool that enters the living room is simply ingenious, the kids didn't want to leave the house and travel around.. Looking forward to coming again..

במילה אחת - מושלם!!!! הבית מתוחזק ברמה גבוהה מאוד ומאובזר בהכל, מטבח, חצר, חדרי שינה.. המיטות מעולות עם סדינים נעימים, מגבות רכות ונעימות. הסגנון של בית ג׳ונגל פתוח עם בריכה שנכנסת לסלון זה פשוט גאוני, הילדים לא רצו לצאת מהבית ולטייל בסביבה.. מחכים כבר להגיע שוב..

Definitely a beautiful place, you are in contact with nature

Un lugar definitivamente hermoso, estás contacto con la naturaleza

We are a family of 6 and stayed at Sarah’s place for over a week. We had an absolutely amazing stay. The house is amazing. It is close to town and beaches. Sarah was a great host. Melania and her family were amazing as well. They cooked us dinner two nights and it was delicious! I would wholeheartedly recommend this place!

We are so glad you had a great stay at Mas Palmas! You are welcome back anytime.

We were just at Las Palmas for a 7 days stay and it was really great! Very quiet with great scenery. Melania was pretty helpful on site. The place was clean and the outdoor living was a great experience. Not too high in the mountains so pretty easy to get out and about. Location was perfect with several nice beaches close by.  Easy drive to Uvita for groceries and margaritas ;). Our family would definitely go back!

We're glad you had a nice time! You're welcome back anytime.

Lovely house surrounded by nature very close to town but tucked away . Great place to spend some days with family and friends .

Beautiful spot, just as pictured. Melania (on site house manager) was very kind and helpful.  We would happily come back, as long as landscape maintenance crews are scheduled more appropriately and with notice in the future.

Thanks so much Allison! We’d love to have you back.

We love the house and the location. The house was even more beautiful than in the photos. We loved how clean it was and how helpful was Melanie. We highly recommend staying at Sarah’s house.

Sarah’s place was truly beautiful, set amongst jungle surroundings. The outdoor living was just lovely. We were a 5-6 minute drive to most things you’d want to be in uvita for. Sarah had a ton of local recommendations and that was very helpful. Each bedroom had its own massive en suite with storage for all luggage inside. The property is gated with space for two cars. We felt very safe while there. There is a house keeper that lives on the property that helps to take care of the place if you wish. This is a lovely spot and we hope to return one day.

The house was private, clean and had an amazing pool. It’s very unique with an outdoor kitchen which was lovely. The on-site help was very nice and welcoming. Would highly recommend the house.

The home was absolutely beautiful.  Check-in was a breeze and we enjoyed our stay.

Tastefully designed, clean and equipped villa. Sara is very available , recommend good for recreation. Many thanks to Melanya for welcoming us , assisted on any subject and at any hour.

וילה מעוצבת בטעם , נקיה ומאובזרת. שרה מאוד זמינה , המלצית טובות לבילוי. תודה רבה למלניה שקיבלה אותנו , סייעה בכל נושא ובכל שעה.

This place was absolutely amazing! I already want to return and I just left. The experience of the jungle right there is indescribable.

Great house!! The outdoor open area is wonderful! We were alone in paradise!! Thanks to the owners!!

Superbe maison!! L’aire ouverte extérieure est merveilleuse! Nous étions seuls au paradis!! Merci aux proprios!!

We are so glad you loved the Mas Palmas. We would love to have you back anytime.

The house is an absolute find. Staying here played a huge part in making our Uvita experience unforgettable.  Surrounded by jungle but still easy to get to with a vehicle. We saw five toucans in the trees next to the house on the day that we left.

We are so glad you were able to experience Mas Palmas. We would love to have you back any time.

Everything was fine in general, we just didn't like that when we arrived we couldn't use the laundry area, you could only do it if you asked the caretaker to open the door and she had to see that she was washing one, so we always had the cloths wet because we didn't have a dryer and we as a family don't like that the outside people are entering the house!! The other thing is that in the evenings, we spent about 3 nights when we heard children crying and being punished and screaming super ugly things, apparently they are the grandchildren of the caretaker. In the end, more than anything, one as a guest expects to have peace in the evenings. Thank you

Todo bien en general, solo no nos gusto que cuando llegamos no pudimos usar el area de lavandería, solo se podía si uno le solicitaba a la cuidadora que le abriera la puerta y ella debía ver que lavaba uno, por lo cual los paños siempre los tuvimos mojados porque no teníamos secadora y a nosotros cómo familia no nos gusta que estén entrando a la casa personas externas !! Lo otro es que en las noches, nos paso como 3 noches que se escuchaban niños llorando y como los castigaban y les gritaban cosas súper feas, al parecer son los nietos de la cuidadora. Al final más que todo es que uno como huésped espera tener paz en las noches. Gracias

Hola Brigitte, lo siento si sientes que no tuviste acceso a la secadora y el deseo. Ambas unidades son completamente nuevas y le pedimos a Melania que se encargue de la lavandería para que nuestros huéspedes no dañen las máquinas, como lo han hecho en el pasado. Esta es una solicitud razonable, disculpe si no está de acuerdo.

Wonderful place! The photos are great but they really don’t do it justice… it’s a really unique and wonderful place! Kitchen and utensils were everything we could’ve asked for. The rooms were very clean with very comfortable beds. Bathrooms were excellent! So cool to liste to the sounds of the jungle while hanging at the place. The location is also great to explore the local surroundings! Whale’s tail is very close and some cool waterfalls just a short drive away. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Thanks Jack! We're glad you were able to enjoy Mas Palmas. It really is a slice of heaven, tucked in the jungle. We'd love to have you back.

You can breathe peace in this place, you can make contact with nature, easy to get to and the host is super attentive.

Se respira paz en este lugar, logras hacer contacto con la naturaleza, facil de llegar y la anfitriona super atenta.

Excellent accommodation, it feels far from the village but actually everything is close. Highly recommended

Excelente alojamiento, se siente alejado del pueblo pero en realidad todo está cerca. Muy recomendable

The place feels great and lovely. There are few things to take in consideration- The road from the main road to there is dangerous. It is too tight, and cars are driving it relatively fast, and you can fall to on of the road!! We had there 2 issues, and the communication was very poor… One day the gate was locked by the pool cleaning guy, we couldn’t go out… no one picked up the phone… The second one really left us with a bitter taste- the owner told us that after we left, there were “sharp stones and shells” in the pool that can harm the next guests. I’ve told her that it can’t be and that I want to have photos. I got photo of very few pieces of paper inside the pool, and when I wrote her back that it’s far away from what she described, she just mentioned that “deep cleaning needs to happen anyhow”… I will not get Bach there.

We we’re flexible on rearranging our schedule so you could check in at your convenience. We also give each guest a set of keys at checkin so they can come and go as they please. We’ve never had issues. You trashed the house each day and created hours of additional work for our caretaker just to maintain the home. Upon checkout you left the house and pool a mess and didn’t want to be held responsible for your actions. We were forced to work with Airbnb Support to get a resolution that was resoundingly in our favor.

Sarah was very accommodating in helping us out at the last moment. Her place was great for our family - very close to town, in a great location that felt like we were in the jungle but not remote. We enjoyed getting woken up each morning by the howler monkeys and toucans. We also were thrilled that we had a resident sloth “Harold” that we were able to observe each day. Melenia was a wonderful treat who came in to tidy up each day. We also loved the outdoor living space, which was very unique. Surprisingly very few mosquitos. Road up was manageable, for Costa Rica standards. We enjoyed walking up to the top of the road for a wonderful view from the Vista Ballena hotel. Highly recommend, we would come back!

the house amazing very clean everything they said it's there not problem at all. just beautiful. we love the house

This is a great place to stay, 3 rooms with their own bath, good beds, good showers, the pool in the outdoor space is great.  Overall superb

The place is magnificent! Excelente king size bed! 5 minutes away from the center of Uvita, shopping for all our needs was close snd all you need is there. We have enjoyed it so much and for sure we will come back again. There is a wonderful caretaker,and thanks to her as well ! We loved it !!! BIG BIG WOW !!!

The place is great and just like the pictures. We loved the open layout that makes you feel in the middle of the jungle. Communication with the property care taker was easy and she was very helpful. The house is a short drive to the National Park and other beaches and also to a wide variety of restaurants and supermarkets. Everything was very clean and the house well equipped. Definitely would like to come back.

This is a great getaway villa in Uvita. The pool is great. We encountered no issues at all during our stay. Melania, the housekeeper, is very helpful and communicative, especially via WhatsApp! Uvita itself is about a 20-25min walk to reach restaurants/bars. The way home is a steep uphill and bring a flash light as it gets dark early. For anything else than getting into town you need a car. Checkout nearby (max 1 hour drive) Dominical, Quepos, and Sierpe for example for day trips and tours or jet skiing etc as well.

this is the best airbnb we have EVER stayed at. so beautiful. so stocked.  so comfortable. its close enough to everything, but you are in the middle of the jungle with complete privacy.  just book it.   it's amazing.

Great house with awesome indoor/outdoor design. Excellent location and excellent hosts.

Lovely little slice of heaven about 5 minutes driving from downtown Uvita. Secure and peaceful, you hear the sounds of cicadas and the jungle all day and night. The pool is nice and warm and the kitchen is stocked with silverware to plates. Very good location far enough away from people but close to get to anything you need. Also about 12 min to the most amazing beach in Costa Rica(the whales tail) also the owner Sarah is a good person and readily available to help. Don’t hesitate to book this place even if it’s for a few of you or a big group, highly recommend this place. Pura Vida at its finest

Great Villa Close to Nature. We enjoyed watching the Pair of Toucans in the garden. Shops a ten Minute drive away and a Hotel with Fantastic Views up the Road that leads to the villa, just keep driving straight up the lane 1KM instead of turning right to the villa. It has amazing Panoramic views of the Bay great for Sundowners.

If you’re looking for a sense of privacy with a hint of jungle vibes…this is the place for you! I came here with friends and enjoyed everything about this villa style home. The pool and outdoor kitchen was what I was looking for. The caretaker on site also made sure I was taken care of. The communication with the hosts was quick and fast and they provided me with a helpful welcome email that gave me restaurants and activities to try.  I also saw cool birds (toucans?) flying around while I was in the pool. This was definitely the relaxation and rest I needed…considering I live in a busy city. Thanks again for hosting us and if you’re reading this…just book this Airbnb. The only tip I have for this Airbnb is…make sure you have a car so that you can get around easy. Bon voyage!!!

Great communication, easy booking and check in process. Awesome location 5 min from Uvita made it a great place to explore the area from. House is clean and nicely appointed. 100% would stay here again.

Beautiful house, very comfortable and close to the beach. You truly feel immersed in the jungle. House is well equipped, and was very clean when we got there. Hosts are quick to respond, and they provided a guide with local tips and tricks that was very helpful!

Beautiful house in the jungle it's really amazing.  I would highly suggest it, total change of scenery!!

Superbe maison dans la jungle cela est vraiment incroyable.  Je vous la suggère fortement depaysagement total !!

House exceeds expectations, photos are nice but it's even nicer. Very safe neighborhood, property has caretaker on sight. Sarah's welcome book is a wealth of information and she responds to questions or requests promptly. The open living space is comfortable and the kitchen has everything you need. Each bedroom is spacious with it's own ensuite. The views are lovely and the property is very nicely landscaped. The roads are steep but you are in Costa Rica! We thoroughly enjoyed our time in Uvita and stay in this house!!

One of the most beautiful places we stayed during our trip in Costa Rica.

A heavenly place, as you can see in the photographs, the cleanliness and attention of both Sarah and Melania was excellent. We definitely hope to come back, my family and I enjoyed it too much. All in all, they deserve 5 stars and even more. 

Un lugar paradisiaco, tal y como se admira en las fotografías, la limpieza y la atención tanto de Sarah como de Melania fue excelente. Sin duda esperamos volver, mi familia y yo disfrutamos demasiado. En definitiva, se merecen las 5 estrella y hasta más. 

We loved our stay! Beautiful place, perfect spot, we’d definitely recommend the place :)

So glad you had a great time at Mas Palmas!! Please come back soon.

Everything was great. Super clean, a beautiful spot, and the caretaker who was always available was great and helpful whenever we needed it…above and beyond. Uvita is anywhere from 3-8 hours from San Jose depending on traffic, so you should coordinate that into your travel plans - a stay at the airport the night before your departure date would be suggested. There are multiple “Playa Hermosa” beaches. You are in Uvita next to the Whales Tail, NOT Jaco, and that is much further south so plan accordingly: a 30 mile drive could take 2 hours because of the roads and traffic. Though a 4x4 may not be required, I would STRONGLY recommend it. The rental car companies seemed overbooked, so make solid arrangements and confirm right up to your departure date or you’ll be in a bind. This house is amazing! The pool was delightful, the environment spectacular, and the air conditioning units work incredibly! The owner’s suggestions for dinner were spot on. We LOVED Sibu and a spectacular dinner at a local farm to table restaurant called Rancho Cielo Alto (reservations required). Most communication there is through What’sApp and FB for reservations etc. You’ll likely drive to the nearby beaches…not really walking distance and the main road is busy, but they are spectacular beaches for sight seeing, horseback riding, surfing, etc. all of my kids surfed (and we cover all levels from beginner to very good) and throughly enjoyed it. The water temp is ridiculously comfortable, and you can’t beat the sunsets. Playa Uvita and Playa Hermosa were our favorites. A great, rugged yet adventurous and relaxing vacation spot.

Thank you Paul! Glad you had a great time. We'd be happy to have you back any time.

We loved the house very much, it had everything you need, both for the kitchen and for the beach. Very good communication, Melania was very nice and attentive the whole time, the house kept it clean every day. Excellent and I recommend it 100%. I'm sure I would rent it again if I return to Uvita. :) X

Nos encantó mucho la casa, tenia todo lo necesario, tanto para la cocina como para la playa. Muy buena comunicación, Melania se porto muy linda y atenta todo el tiempo, la casa la mantenía limpia todos los dias. Excelente y la recomiendo 100%. Estoy segura que la volvería a rentar si vuelvo a Uvita. :) X

We are so happy you enjoyed Mas Palmas!! We'd be happy to have you back anytime.

The house was amazing ! Great views and we’re able to see monkeys and toucans throughout the day.  We would definitely book again!

The toucans are our favorite!! So happy you had a great time at Mas Palmas.

We loved the merged indoor/outdoor living at the Villa and surprisingly had no issues with bugs or creatures coming in. We enjoyed morning coffees while watching howler monkeys and toucans in the trees. Really close to grocery stores, restaurants and multiple beaches. Would definitely stay here again!

Really glad you got to experience all that Mas Palmas has to offer! Welcome back any time.

Glad you had a great trip! Please come back soon.

Visiting Sarah's place was truly magical, as seen in the photographs. This house really took the concept of "open atmosphere" to another level. The kitchen has everything and the layout is perfect. The rooms are very spacious and the bathrooms are unbeatable (one in each room). You really don't need to go anywhere else to enjoy a weekend of rest and enjoyment. Access from the main street to the house is very short and accessible by any vehicle, just be careful because it is single-lane and there are very few spaces where one vehicle can stop to give another a ride in case it comes in the opposite direction, but there is almost no vehicle movement either. It's extremely private. The stay was short, and the only bad thing about the trip... we didn't want to go back!!! :D

Visitar el hospedaje de Sarah fue realmente mágico, tal y como se aprecia en las fotografías. Esta casa realmente llevó el concepto de "ambiente abierto" a otro nivel. La cocina tiene de todo y la distribución es perfecta. Los cuartos son muy amplios y los baños inmejorables (uno en cada cuarto). Realmente, no es necesario ir a ningun otro lugar para disfrutar de un fin de semana de descanso y disfrute. El acceso desde la calle principal a la casa es muy corto y accesible por cualquier vehículo, solo ser precavido porque es de un solo carril y hay muy pocos espacios donde un vehículo pueda detenerse para dar cavida a otro en caso que venga en el sentido contrario, pero casi no hay movimiento vehicular tampoco. Es sumamente privado. La estancia se nos hizo corta, y lo único malo del viaje... es que no queriamos regresarnos!!! :D

Thank you Lorena! We'd be happy to have you and your family back to Mas Palmas anytime.

The house has an amazing view of the surroundings, a lot of nature and just green, exactly what my friends and I were looking for. The pool is great perfect for a family or group of friends, kitchen is well equipped just make sure to bring all your spices and salt if you will cook meals here. There is a dog and a cat in the property that came to say hi on our first night there. Each room has a bathroom, rooms have AC and fan, beds were super confortable, great spot, we'll definitely be back. Also the national park is very close to this location.

The house is beautiful, everything was spotless! It has an excellent location!

La casa es preciosa, todo estaba impecable! Tiene excelente ubicación!

The place is exactly as shown in the photos. It is very nice and quiet. Super recommended. Melania provides excellent care.

El lugar es tal y como se ve en las fotos. Es muy bonito y tranquilo. Súper recomendado. Melania brinda una excelente atención.

Thank you Dayana!! We are so glad you enjoyed Mas Palmas as much as we do! Come back soon.

The villa was absolutely as described and was a slice of paradise that was perfect for us. The design and the layout of the villa was unique, the indoor / outdoor blend together perfectly to give the chance to have the experience needed. The onsite checkin and support was much appreciated as well. Its easy to get to, close to the highway (huge) and  everything else and you dont even need 4wd to get there. Would love to stay here again

Lovely place, very comfortable, the kitchen is well equipped...we really enjoyed the time there....highly recommended place

Nice place full of nature and out of the town noise.

We had a great time; being able to see the monkeys, toucans was great. We loved the open concept!The house is super clean and Melania responds very quickly to any questions. The only thing I would improve would be the cleaning of the dog's feces in the garage; we had to remove them in order to get the cars out.

La pasamos súper bien; poder ver los monos, tucanes fue genial. El concepto abierto nos encantó!.La casa súper limpia y Melania responde muy rápidamente ante cualquier consulta. Lo único que mejoraría sería la limpieza de las heces del perrito en la cochera; tuvimos que quitarlas para poder sacar los carros.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The house worked great for us. We really enjoyed the open central area of the house and the secure bedroom suites. The pool was great too. We liked being such a close distance from Uvita for a quick trip in and even the ability to walk in and back a couple of times to a restaurant there.  Costa Rica is amazing! Sarah and Logan were great host and easy to work with. Thanks for the enjoyable stay!

Thanks Larry!! We’re happy to have you back anytime!

A very nice house, it has all the amenities, excellent location.   A very quiet and cozy place.

Una casa muy bonita, cuenta con todas las comodidades, excelente ubicación.   Un lugar muy tranquilo y acogedor.

perfect stay. First off,, sarah is truly a terrific hostessMelania greeted us and showed us where everything is. house was immaculate and beautiful decor to add to the ambiance. I was up early each day and got to do bird watching, and some.monkeys came swinging past while I showered. lots of opportunity for wildlife spectating. she provides some binoculars. we were pretty surprised by how few bugs and bug bites there were. we never figured out why (rain, birds, altitude). I'd have expected more mosquitos! but we aren't complaining. the kitchen is well appointed with dishes as well as some spices and vegetable oil, and some grilling spices, salt pepper. you may have to replace/purchase some items as the humidity may clump some spices unless you keep them in the fridge. we were able to park two cars here behind the locked gate. we did drive to the beaches but loved our view and privacy over places positioned more beachfront. Sarah was so easy to deal with. She responds promptly, allowed late check out, and thought of every detail including providing a link to up to date covid testing info which helped not only in uvita but for other area we traveled so we could choose the best location and timing. she made everything easy and safe so all.we had to do was have the fun. I was able to find massage therapists and private chefs willing to come to the home. I didn't use any but I mention because it seems covid restrictions are lighter and businesses are starting to work in homes again. we also did not see any restaurants closed. it's the start of the rainy season and low season so restaurants were not crowded. can't say enough good things. definitely the best days of our 8 day journey!

Beautiful, it is a place close to the road but immersed in the mountain, magical. Open design with social space integrated into nature.

Precioso, es un lugar cerca de la carretera pero inmerso en la montaña, mágico. Diseño abierto con espacio social integrado a la naturaleza.

A beautiful place in the middle of nature , incredible cleanliness , attention and excellent communication. The house has all the amenities and is very comfortable , safe and quiet .

Amazing property! Gorgeous house with spacious, clean and stylish spaces. There’s everything you need and more! Really great place to get away from it all! LOVED IT!

Nice and quiet accommodation. Recommended 👌🏻

Lindo alojamiento y tranquilo. Recomendado 👌🏻

What a beautiful house. We were 6 adults and the experience could not have been better. Sarah was attentive and provided us with a thorough guide to the house and the town where it's located. The house is very clean, ideally equipped and in an unbeatable location, surrounded by nature and birds. Melania, who is on site, is super quick and efficient, and always available to help with minor things. If you're considering this listing for your next vacation, don't hesitate to book immediately. You will not regret it.

We are so glad you and your family got to enjoy Mas Palmas! You are welcome back anytime. Happy Birthday to your mother!

The place is amazing with very special touches in the internal decoration the cleaning lady is helpful and provide great guidance on keys. The place is inside of the forest surrounded by nature. Perfect for 3 couples or a group of friends.

Thanks Giancarlo! We'd be happy to have you back anytime!

We enjoyed every moment at Mas Palmas Villa. Being surrounded by jungle and seeing the parrots, toucans and howler monkey so close it's really special and will be a memory forever. It's a wonderful place being away from the hassle of this difficult times and we hope being able to come back sometimes.

Thanks Tom & Eve! We are so glad you enjoyed Mas Palmas! So glad our jungle creatures were so active! You're welcome to come back whenever you like.

Nice house! A perfect experience! Super equipped and very well cared for, surrounded by nature. We spent a few days. My family and I stayed! Thank you very much

Lindisima la casa! Una experiencia perfecta! Super equipada y muy bien cuidada, rodeada de naturaleza, pasamos unos días lindisimos mi familia y yo! Muchísimas gracias

We are so happy you enjoyed your stay at Mas Palmas! You and your family are welcome back any time.

It is a very nice, quiet, safe place, they always helped us, very good hospitality. Recommended.

Es un lugar muy lindo, tranquilo, seguro, nos ayudaron siempre, muy buena hospitalidad. Recomendado.

Sarah and Logan’s place is spectacular. It was everything we had hoped for and more. Being able to walk out our bedroom door each morning and have this beautiful space to sit and watch monkeys and toucans in the trees while we drank coffee felt like a dream. Our kids had a blast in the pool everyday. It was quick and easy to get to the beach and to town, yet we felt like we were in the middle of the jungle with no one around. We can’t wait to get back!

Great place, the house is beautiful , great location within the forest and we expend one night seeing the starts. The house distribution is great , very confortable rooms and great pool and public spaces. Location is also great, less than 10min to town and restaurants and 10-15 min to beaches. The hosts are great and there were very accommodating to our needs. I really recommend this place for a family vacation!!!

The house is beautiful, impeccable! Immediate responses, we had a great time!

La casa es preciosa, impecable! Respuestas inmediatas, la pasamos genial!

More than you could wish for. A great get away place, an amazing house and a friendly hostess.

Hey Alexander,  So glad you and your family had a great weekend at Mas Palmas! We'd be happy to have you back anytime.

This place is so amazing. We had breakfast with the wild toucans and a BBQ at sunset with the monkeys and kinkajous. There is no need to go anywhere else if you dont want to go to the Beach. Thank you for sharing this beautiful place.

Hey Heidi,  We are so glad you loved your stay at Mas Palmas! Watching the Toucans in the trees from the pool is so much fun. We'd love to have you back anytime!

Excellent location, with a tranquility that allows you to rest. A wonderful house that has everything you need . The pool is spectacular.

Excelente ubicación, con una tranquilidad que te permite descansar. Una casa maravillosa que tiene todo lo que necesitas . La piscina espectacular.

Perfect with kids and family. Close to the beaches but isolated enough to let you forget about all the noise out there.

Well-appointed colonial style villa nestled in the trees above Uvita. Ample bathrooms, a good stock of utensils and equipment, and a practical layout with the living areas (dining area, salon, kitchen) in the open air. There is a short unpaved section up to the house, but the bulk of the road up is paved, which is the exception for Costa Rica. Sarah was responsive throughout the booking process, and open to requests. We may well return.

We are glad you and your group enjoyed Mas Palmas! Pura Vida!

Upon arrival, we were greeted by Melania, the house keeper, who has the house impeccable, the house as shown in the photos, the kitchen has everything you need to make your stay as comfortable as possible, even for baking, in fact, my wife made cookies for my children... We enjoyed watching Caribbean monkeys from the pool, howler monkeys or congos from the kitchen window, and the singing of the toucans from our room window. Melania, always attentive to our requests We would like to return in the future as my family loved the place and we really enjoyed it... 101%%%% recommended...

Desde la llegada, nos recibió Melania, la encargada del lugar, quien tiene la casa impecable, la casa tal y como se muestra en las fotos, la cocina tiene lo que necesite para hacer de su estadía lo más confortable posible, hasta para realizar repostería, de echo, mi esposa hizo Galletas para mis hijos... Disfrutamos viendo monos cariblanca desde la piscina, monos aulladores o congos desde la ventana de la cocina, y el canto de los tucanes desde nuestra ventana de la habitación. Melania, siempre atenta a nuestras solicitudes Desearíamos regresar en un futuro, ya que a mi familia le encantó el lugar y lo disfrutamos muchísimo ... 101%%%% recomendado...

So glad you and your family enjoyed Mas Palmas! Not everyone gets to see all the monkeys. We'd be happy to have you back!
