Nestled in the mountains of Uvita with breathtaking views of the Whale’s Tail, this brand new house is surrounded by lush rainforest and is less than 2 miles away from town. Wake up to the sound of toucans and enjoy your breakfast on the open kitchen island. Open the living room’s sliding doors to enjoy the ocean breeze and expansive ocean views. Jump into the pool and soak in the beauty of Costa Rica’s southern coastline. Whatever you choose to do, you can’t go wrong with Pura Uvita! The space We fell in love with the location as soon as we saw the view. We had been looking for properties all over Costa Rica, and when we found this one, we immediately knew this was it. The beauty of the Osa peninsula is breathtaking and there are no words for describing how relaxing it is to be able to look right down at the whale’s tail from the comfort of your home all while in the middle of the rainforest. If you are looking for a true Costa Rican green-lush rainforest experience, the Osa peninsula is definitely the place to go. The house was designed with a modern/industrial feel and boasts modern concrete and local wood finishes throughout. The two cedar trees that were cut to make room for the house were 100% utilized for closets, doors, and cabinets. Woods from other smaller trees were used throughout the construction process as well; our goal was to minimize waste as much as possible. We strived to create a very open floor plan which is why you’ll find ultra high ceilings and will be able to literally open up the living room into the terrace, creating a large indoor/outdoor environment and allowing air to circulate throughout the house. The design of the ceiling along with strategic fan placement help keep the house at a very comfortable temperature so A/C is not necessary (although it is available in the bedrooms). This is a 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom size designed to comfortably fit 4 people (2 persons per room), but it can accommodate up to 2-4 additional people (there are 2 sofa beds in the living room). There is high speed WiFi as well as a flat screen TV. The kitchen is stocked with all the utensils you need to cook. Linens and towels are provided as are shampoo, conditioner, and soap. There is an infinity pool, a large terrace and a lounging deck which could also be used for yoga. Guest access You will have access to the entire house and the pool. Access to the washer/dryer bodega is limited to the cleaning team and may be provided upon request. Other things to note Please keep in mind that you will need to drive on a dirt road and although it is well maintained a 4x4 vehicle is required since the last stretch of the road is steep. Also, due to the beauty of the area, many people are wanting to move here (or come on vacation). As a result, there may be construction going on near or around the area. Construction is now common anywhere from Escaleras all the way down through Uvita and south of Ojochal. The infrastructure in Costa Rica is impressive considering the remote locations that are served despite it's rugged terrain. However, because of the rugged terrain in Uvita, it is possible to experience power and water outages (for instance trees could fall on a power line and limbs/tree roots can crack a pipe). We do our best to minimize impact by equipoing the house with a battery back up that will keep the Internet running for up to 2 hours and water tanks to serve as a backup in the event of a water outage, but please be aware that outages could happen and might be out of our control.

## Overview

Nestled in the mountains of Uvita, this brand-new home offers stunning views of the Whale’s Tail and is surrounded by lush rainforest. Located less than 2 miles from town, you can wake up to the calls of toucans and enjoy breakfast at the open kitchen island. The living room features sliding doors that open to welcome ocean breezes and panoramic ocean vistas. Take a refreshing dip in the infinity pool while soaking in the beauty of Costa Rica’s southern coastline. Pura Uvita provides a perfect setting for a tranquil and immersive rainforest experience.

## The Space

We instantly fell in love with this location because of its breathtaking view. After searching properties throughout Costa Rica, this one stood out immediately. The Osa Peninsula’s natural beauty is unparalleled, offering a serene environment where you can gaze directly at the Whale’s Tail from your home, all while being immersed in the rainforest.

The house showcases a modern industrial design with concrete and locally sourced wood finishes. Two cedar trees removed to make space for the house were fully repurposed into closets, doors, and cabinets. Wood from smaller trees was also incorporated to minimize waste.

Designed with an open floor plan, the home features soaring ceilings and a living room that opens onto the terrace, creating a spacious indoor-outdoor living area that encourages airflow throughout. The ceiling design and strategically placed fans maintain a comfortable temperature, making air conditioning unnecessary, although it is available in the bedrooms.

This 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom home comfortably accommodates four guests (two per bedroom) but can sleep an additional 2 to 4 people using two sofa beds in the living room. Amenities include high-speed WiFi, a flat-screen TV, and a fully equipped kitchen with all necessary utensils. Linens, towels, shampoo, conditioner, and soap are provided.

Outdoor spaces include an infinity pool, a large terrace, and a lounging deck that can also be used for yoga.

## Guest Access

Guests have full access to the entire house and pool. Access to the washer and dryer storage area is generally restricted to the cleaning staff but may be granted upon request.

## Location and Additional Information

Please note that the property is accessed via a well-maintained dirt road, but a 4x4 vehicle is required due to a steep final stretch.

The area is experiencing increased development as more people are attracted to Uvita and surrounding regions, so some construction may be visible nearby. Construction activity is common from Escaleras through Uvita and south of Ojochal.

While Costa Rica’s infrastructure is impressive given the remote and rugged terrain, occasional power and water outages can occur due to fallen trees or damaged pipes. To mitigate this, the house is equipped with a battery backup that keeps the internet running for up to two hours and water tanks to provide supply during outages. However, please be aware that interruptions may happen beyond our control.

2BR house in Uvita

Pura Uvita - Whale's tail ocean view, modern home - Houses for Rent in Uvita, Provincia de Puntarenas, Costa Rica

The house is perfect for staying in Ballena and have the best of both worlds: be in the mountain with great views and get to the beach in 15 minutes. Communication was easy and friendly, accomodation let us have lovely vacations

Our stay in Uvita was absolutely incredible, and this Airbnb exceeded every expectation. The property itself was stunning, peaceful, and perfectly located to enjoy everything the area has to offer. Every detail of the space was thoughtfully put together, making it both comfortable and memorable. Andrea was an exceptional host. She was incredibly responsive, helpful, and genuinely invested in making sure our stay was perfect from start to finish. Whether it was recommendations, coordination, or just making us feel welcome, she went above and beyond in every way. This was one of those rare stays where everything just feels easy and elevated at the same time. We would come back without hesitation and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Uvita.

We had a nice stay overall and really enjoyed the beautiful view — it was definitely the highlight of the property. That said, there are a few areas that could be improved. We experienced some electricity issues in the evenings, and the water pressure in the shower was quite low at times. The house itself feels a bit dated and could benefit from some updates. We also noticed an unpleasant odor coming from the kitchen cabinets. Considering the price, we expected a slightly higher standard, as there are newer and more updated options available in a similar range. With a few improvements, this property could offer a much better overall experience.

We were very happy with this property and Loren, the manager was extremely friendly and helpful. The home is just as it looks in the photos. It’s a very special place with an incredible view! We also enjoyed the birds and other local creatures on the property. It felt wonderful to be in nature with such an incredible view of the whale’s tale!! I was nervous to book because of the road up, but it’s 100% worth the view!!! Absolutely requires 4 x 4 though!! You do get used to it after a couple of trips.

Beautiful location with amazing views.  Lots of birds and monkey sounds to greet you in the morning.  Very close to fantastic restaurants by car.

Amazing view of Whales tale from high elevation open air concept house, minimalist no clutter. nice pool and patio.

Probably the best place we have ever stayed with Airbnb. The panoramic view of the ocean, immersed in nature, with countless birds, including several species of toucan every morning and evening. The sunsets over the infinity pool, forest and ocean were unmatched. Every day an inspiration and meditation.

It was a wonderful time in this villa in Uvita. The accommodation was very well located, in the middle of the jungle, very clean, the place is secure, very pleasant to live in. Everything was clean and well laid out. We saw many animals and even a colony of Coatis! The host was charming, very well organized and very responsive. I would recommend 100%.

we loved it. amazing view and location we got to enjoy nature. highly recommend.

We really liked the house. The view is fabulous. We enjoyed just sitting on the terrace and looking into the distance. We really liked the decor. In particular, the kitchen block made of stone and the open living space concept as well as the showers that were half outside. Overall great interior design and very good amenities.

Uns hat das Haus sehr gefallen. Die Aussicht ist fabelhaft. Wir haben es genossen einfach auf der Terrasse zu sitzen und in die Ferne zu schauen. Die Einrichtung hat uns sehr gefallen. Insbesondere der Küchenblock aus Stein und das offene Wohnraumkonzept sowie die Duschen die halb außerhalb lagen. Insgesamt tolles Interieur-Design und sehr gute Ausstattung.

Beautiful house up high above Uvita. Million dollar view. House was clean and comfortable. Our kids loved it. Easy to get to the town but must have a 4x4.

Beautiful house and beautiful location. The hosts are very welcoming and attentive.

Très belles maison et emplacement magnifique. Les hôtes sont très accueillants et attentionnés.

Beautiful place and a simply unmatched view! Situated on a mountain with unpaved roads but still easily accessible with a 4-wheel drive. Only the bedrooms are air conditioned, but that’s not a problem if you spend your day seeing all this place has to offer. As you should!

This place is absolutely incredible. My wife and I went for a long weekend for our 2nd anniversary and this bnb was the perfect location for just that. It’s secluded, peaceful, and the open air kitchen brings a fun jungle vibe to your stay. My favorite part of the house was the terrace and that beautiful view that comes with. AC in the bedrooms kept us nice and cool at night. And from reading other reviews I was a little worried about the drive up, but it’s not that bad get a 4X4 vehicle and send it! Big shout out to Loren for meeting us later than expected when we first arrived, that guy is a legend! The only recommendation I have is to stay as long as you possibly can!!!!

We enjoy the stay in this house. It’s very privet with an amazing view and beautiful surrounding houses on the top of the mountain.

This was our first time in Costa Rica and we loved everything about this home. Be mindful you will need 4x4 because these mountains and roads are no joke. The house was absolutely beautiful, we loved having the bedrooms closed off and having the air conditioner (and bug free) and then having the living space and kitchen being open to the outside and the pool.  You really do become one with nature in this home, so if you do not like bugs or insects, Costa Rica is not for you.  I actually found it soothing listening to the lizards on the walls and watching them eat the other little bugs.  My husband and I were able to enjoy horseback riding and a boat tour through the jungle thanks to the help of Loren, he made everything so easy for us and was always available. We got lost trying to find the house the first time after Loren showed us, but once you learn the mountain, it became easy. With the craziness of the US right now,  it felt good to disconnect.

Beautiful house and absolutely incredible view. Easy check-in- Loren was very helpful. Can't wait to come back- only regret is we didn't stay long enough!

Pura Uvita was the perfect place for us. The adventure began when going up that mountain. What fun! Loved being in the rainforest. Plenty of wildlife to entertain us. We were prepared and brought binoculars. Enjoyed the spectacular views of the Pacific Ocean, the whale’s tail, and the sunsets. We had a great time exploring Uvita and surrounding areas. Loren, the property manager, assisted with recommendations, which we took, and booked a jungle boat tour, an ATV tour, and massages at the house. We also booked a private chef, who came to the house and prepared a meal of local cuisine and cocktails. We really enjoyed all of our adventures and moments of relaxation. Our stay was short, but sweet. Would love to return to the beauty and warmth of Uvita, and to the kindness of the people of Costa Rica. Thank you, Andrea and Loren for a memorable stay. Everything was amazing!

Had a great time in Andrea’s place, can recomend it

This is a beautiful home with everything you need for a great family stay. The kitchen was well equipped and the linens and beds are good quality and comfortable. It's very quiet and beautiful with lots of birds around. There was always a nice breeze and no mosquitos. It was nice to have lots of options for lounging and space for everyone. The showers are fantastic. This is a great spot and you'll be glad you booked it. Thanks for a great stay!

We loved it ! We recommend ! If it's important 4X4 ! The place has the tranquility ! We love

Nos encantó ! Recomendamos ! Si es importante 4X4 ! El lugar la vista la tranquilidad ! Amamos

I very much wanted to enjoy my time here. As the photos show - it is a unique property with an outstanding view. However, it has not been adequately maintained and this caused us significant issues that were not dealt with in a timely manner. Being the open-air house that it is, one side of the main room has no solid walls. Just decorative bars covered in one big window screen. Unfortunately, this screen is full of holes. We returned home from the beach on our first full day to discover that a large animal(s) had gotten through. It ate produce we had on the counter, got into the trash, and made a mess of the kitchen. We immediately informed the property manager who simply said "I'll see what I can do." Nothing was done and the animal got in again the next day. The problem was fixed only after contacting the host several times. Upon arrival the toilet seat was completely broken. We told the property manager who replied only with "Oops, no one told me." It was never fixed.

Beautiful getaway even in the rainy season. We enjoyed the spacious kitchen and pool.

It’s exactly as described and the host is responsive and extremely helpful. The property is beautiful with a stunning view.

Andrea's place that all I could ever ask for! It was private and beautiful with wildlife and nature all around. The views of Whales Tail were stunning from the back deck area. The shower was peaceful and relaxing with it being half outside. Would 100% visit again!

This place was nothing short of AMAZING! Waking up to toucans everyday was so cool! The view is breathtaking! First trip as an engaged couple and this house was the perfect in every way. We want to come back as soon as we can!

Our stay was amazing. The house is nothing but beautiful and Loren, who manages the property was very helpful.

Spectacular place, with a beautiful view of the Cola de la Ballena. The cool climate with lots of vegetation. Andrea and Loren's attention was first, always attentive to any query. The perfect location since the house is located in the mountains but a few minutes from the center of Uvita and Parque Marino Ballena. Recommended 100 percent. We would come back without a thought

Lugar espectacular, con una hermosa vista a la Cola de la Ballena. El clima fresco con mucha vegetación. La atención de Andrea y de Loren fue de primera, siempre atentos a cualquier consulta. La ubicación perfecta ya que la casa se encuentra en la montaña pero a pocos minutos del centro de Uvita y el parque Marino Ballena. Recomendado 100 por ciento. Volveríamos sin pensarlo

Our stay here could not have been better! It was clean, modern, and had a the most wonderful view! We were close to amazing activities and restaurants. Loren out house manager made the trip extra special by showing us around and providing us with recommendations that were spot on! We can’t wait to come back!

House is in a great idyllic location surrounded by lush vegetation with a nice view. Absolutely must have a high clearance 4x4 and if you are not familiar with driving in a truly 4x4 environment, I would recommend a driver. We are well versed in driving this type of terrain so we were fine. Loren arranged a couples massage at the house for us and it was excellent. Catarata Falls are moments from the front door. In the yard, we saw a basilisk on the pool wall, 2 scarlet macaws, several fiery billed tucans, agoutis, variegated squirrels, great curassows (one of whom liked to battle her reflection every morning on the glass of one of the bedrooms), a very large band of recurring coatis, leaf cutter ants cleaning the pool deck area in the mornings, numerous small lizards inside and outside, millipedes, two types of stick bug, long nosed bats at dawn and dusk, a kinkajou, and sulphur-winged parakeets to name a few. Some repairs are needed here and there but made no impact to enjoyment!

Pura Uvita was even better than the pictures. The view was incredible, the layout was really cool AND practical. The screens on both sides of the main living area made you feel like you were completely immersed in nature, beautiful breeze, the sounds and birds and the sound of the rain. Very cool. Steep drive up, but totally doable. Don't let this deter you. Friendly host and in-town property manager were always available, quick to respond, helpful and available when needed. Something did come up, but it was fixed right away. My family of 4 came here and we were in constant awe of the view and the amazing vibe of the place. the most unique feature is that both sides of the living space are screens - one you can close with glass doors (or leave screened or pull completely open), and the other side remains a screen at all times. This made it feel VERY exotic and unique which we loved.

Beautiful home and amazing view! Lots of wild life. AC in the rooms were superb! Nice open living space.

The view in Uvita was amazing! Sunrise and sunset were excellent from the pool / deck. Only downside was that the showers are both open air, so they could be a little buggy in the morning (to be expected in Costa Rica). The rest of the home was beautifully and thoughtfully designed! We also did a great boat tour that was recommended and arranged by the property manager about an hour away in Sierpe. Loren and the hosts were kind and easy to work with!

This House is really amazing. The pool and all the wildlife arround are awesome. Everthing what you need is there and for sure the view is incredible. You really need an 4x4 to get to the house but not really any offroad skill where you have to be scared to reach the house. Loren pick you up in town and drives the first time with you to the house.

This place was amazing. The view from the pool is bar none. Even if you decide to hang at the house you won’t be disappointed. The host is extremely responsive and helpful. I will be coming back.

Tucked away in a slice of paradise with killer views of the Whale's Tail and the endless ocean, this sweet private villa is the ultimate chill spot. Just a heads up, you'll want a 4x4 to navigate the road to get here hassle-free. Big shoutout to Andrea and Loren for being awesome hosts and showing us the ropes on how to get here the first time around. The villa has all the right amenities one would need for a perfect break. The location rocks for exploring the southern peninsula on the Pacific side. Think hidden beaches, epic landscapes – you name it, it's here. We seriously dug every minute of our stay!

Me gustó bastante con una vista preciosa

Beautiful views and amazing outdoor shower!

We stayed at 4 different places during our trip to Costa Rica and this one was our favorite. The views are insane and the way you can open up the entire living room is so cool.  The road up was not as bad as we had expected, it is just very steep.  The neighborhood feels very secluded, but it’s convenient to several nice restaurants.  We are already planning on booking a return trip we enjoyed our stay here so much.

Absolutely breathtaking! Our stay at this Airbnb exceeded all expectations. The views of Bahia Ballena were truly incredible, offering a panoramic vista of the entire whale tail formation. The infinity pool was a highlight, providing a luxurious and relaxing experience against the backdrop of the stunning scenery. The beds were exceptionally comfortable, and the cleanliness of the accommodation was impeccable. Plus, the location was perfect, with easy access to all the great spots in the area, including fantastic dining options and vibrant nightlife. Without a doubt, we will be returning to this slice of paradise.

The home is very lovely and comfortable. We had Toucans, geckos, lizards, and parrots, and many other birds come to visit. Uvita is beautiful. ￼ and from her place you can see the whale tail and magnificent sunsets. ￼ her caregiver for the home was wonderful. Pura Vita. ￼

Location is beautiful. Open air design is stunning. Home is private and surrounded by lush vegetation. View of the Whale Tail is amazing. The property manager, Loren, is incredible. He had numerous recommendations for activities and restaurants and went out of his way to help us plan a very memorable vacation. He recommended The Private Chef and helped us to book after a previously booked experience cancelled due to illness. Loren made a perfect location even better. We will definitely return!

Andreas place was amazing and we enjoyed every moment of our stay. True paradise, the jungle, the animals was always something to be amazed. The view was gorgeous. I would go back in a heart beat. Purda vida till the next time. Thank you Andrea for an awesome stay and for Loren to be so friendly and helpful. Linda

Everything was great! The house was spacious and comfortable! The view was truly stunning 🤩

Staying at Pura Uvita was a like staying in paradise. We love the house and all the jungle surrounding. We love sitting up at the pool/deck every morning and night enjoying the all of the views. The house was so clean, the beds were comfortable and it was so well stocked for every part of our stay.  We can't say enough about how much we loved the location. I highly recommend this location and home! I can't wait to return.

This place is just as idyllic as it appears on photos. Totally private, stylish, epic sunsets, gorgeous pool, indoor/outdoor showers, exotic wildlife in the garden - it has everything. Loren/Andrea were very responsive and courteous hosts. It's clear a lot of thought has gone into creating this place to make it so simple and yet so liveable. The place is situated at the top of a mountain with spectacular views. The drive up is steep, through the rain forest, and I came to really enjoy powering up there in the 4x4 (which you do need). Uvita is only 5-10 minutes down the hill where you can find all the tours, lovely restaurants (upscale and local) and of course those perfect beaches.

The house and location with the view of the Waletail is excellent! I really enjoyed the amenities and the info pool. Watching the wildlife in the early morning in connection with the sublime environment has started very well every day. The contact with Loren was very pleasant and  always directly available. I recommend the place and will be happy to come back!

Das Haus und die Lage mit der Aussicht auf den Waletail ist hervorragend! Die Ausstattung und der Infintipool hat mir sehr gut gefallen. Das beobachten der Tierwelt an frühen Morgen in Verbindung mit der erhabenen Umgebung hat jeden Tag sehr gut beginnen lassen. Der Kontakt zu Loren war sehr angenehm und  immer direkt vorhanden. Ich empfehle die Unterkunft und komme gerne wieder!

What an amazing house and view! We had a beautiful time in Andrea and Tim’s house. The communication with Andrea and with Loren in Uvita was very easy. The house itself is as described, but once there it is even better! It is very functional and confortable. I really enjoyed the semi-open shower. We were also able to see from the terrace, Toucans, Hummingbirds, Coatis… a real sense of communion with nature! Finishing our one month’s trip in this house was just perfect.

Amazing view and you are literally in the rain forest. The drive up the hill can be a little nerve racking but to me it was worth it. Overall great place and we absolutely loved Uvita.

A beautiful location in Uvita. The view is incredibly beautiful and every time I sat outside, I enjoy it. The house has two large bedrooms and a spacious open kitchen. The road to get there is quite doable. So don't let this put you off.

Een prachtige locatie in Uvita. Het uitzicht is ontzettend mooi en elke keer wanneer ik buiten zat, genot ik hiervan. Het huis zelf heeft twee grote slaapkamers en een ruime open woonkeuken. De weg ernaartoe is goed te doen. Dus laat dit je niet afschrikken.

Everything was great. View was unbelievable!

This house was amazing, everything was as described. Our host Loren was amazing as well. He provided with everything, even when the Wi-Fi went out he work diligently to get things back working. The house sits at the top of the mountain so please get 4x4. There is a 24 hour armed security guard for the property so don’t be worried, this house is safe. Be mindful that this house is in the middle of the forest so there are insects. There are (2) grocery stores close by for food. Plenty more restaurants and excursions. In all, we had a wonderful time. THIS HOUSE IS AS ADVERTISED

Not a negative thing to say about the stay at Andrea's. The pictures don't do it justice. This was a great spot to just chill and relax. The pool is great with an amazing view and you're surrounded by wildlife. There are great restaurants  just down the road but also a full use kitchen if you don't feel like leaving. Loren helped us get to the spot and was extremely helpful with other recommendations around the area. The only regret is that we didn't book more days here.

This property is beautiful. The view is incredible.  It's very private, quiet, clean, open, and airy.  We saw a lot of wildlife. The host is great and responsive. Check in and check out process was very smooth.  Amazing restaurants and shopping are just down the hill as are some of the best beaches in Costa Rica.  As noted, you will need a 4WD vehicle to access the property, which is very common for homes in Costa Rica.  The layout is ideal for two couples or a family as the two bedrooms each with their own very nice bathroom are on opposite sides of the house... quite private.  The view from the pool is outstanding.  There is a propane BBQ grill under a covered area by the pool and a safe in the bedroom.  This is a great place to stay in the wonderful town of Uvita!

The view from this home is stunning. We spent as much time as we could out on the patio and in the pool gazing at the Pacific. The home was comfortable and felt very integrated into the lush surroundings. One wall is all screen and the showers are effectively outside. We thought this added to the jungle experience but take note if that’s not your thing. We had some minor issues while in the house but Andrea and the local caretaker were very responsive via text, Airbnb app and what’s app. We loved the location. The initial drive up the hill felt nerve racking but after a few trips we were fine with the steepness and driving the 4x4. Plenty of great local restaurants. Parco Marino Ballena was amazing. It is one of the largest and most dramatic beaches we’ve ever visited. We can’t wait to return to Uvita.

We enjoyed our stay at this beautiful home in Uvita. The view from the home was amazing and the home was well equipped. Host was very responsive and checked on us throughout our stay. I must advise that this is a home in the middle of the jungle so there are a lot of beautiful animals you will encounter, but if you don’t like bugs you may not like it, we encounter very large spiders and it is cicada season so they filled up our outdoor showers daily, they are also very loud at night so just be prepared. The home is very open on the common areas of the kitchen and living room with no ac, but the bedrooms do have ac (just a note). It is also not gated and the road up is a bit daunting the first time you go, so you must have a 4x4. Other than those little things u mentioned we enjoyed our stay and really made the best of it. Loren our host was great and helpful!

The view is AMAZING! To get there you will need a true 4x4 but don’t let the hill scare you. Once you do it a couple times the fear is all gone. Waking up to monkeys squalling in the trees, birds singing and a clear view down to the Whales Tale is an experience to be had. The house is as described, check in and the property manager are easy and top notch, and there is a blender waiting to mix up a fruit drink as the sun sets. Go there… stay here… you won’t regret it!

This was such a beautiful place to stay! You need a 4x4 vehicle to get to it, but don’t let that deter you because it is totally worth it! The views looking over Uvita are amazing and waking up every morning to the sounds of the birds and monkeys was pure bliss. I sat outside every morning watch the different toucans fly around and the sloth in the tree. The house was well outfitted and had more than enough for your stay. Loren was extremely nice and helpful, making the stay that much better! We loved our stay!

definitely a place worth to give it a try

Andrea is a very helpful, caring and professional host. Together with Loren, who welcomed us, the arrival was very warm and uncomplicated. The house has an incredibly beautiful, very quiet and private location with sea view. Everything on site is very well equipped and maintained. The house has AC in the bedrooms, but we did not need it because of the good climate and the open living concept. It is also great that supermarkets, great restaurants and excellent beaches are practically on the doorstep (restaurants 5-7 min. drive, best beaches approx. 10-20 min. Uvita and Dominicalito). We had really great days - probably our best in Costa Rica. We will definitely be back!

This home was the highlight of our vacation! Andrea and Loren made the experience even more magical. Highly recommend this home, pictures do not do it justice!

This house is magic! It is in the jungle (a 4x4 is required)! The wildlife that visits is incredible, resident toucans, coati, butterflies, vultures, it’s like observing a National Geographic film from the comfort of an amazing home with an incredible infinity pool. The house is well equipped, the rooms have AC and the internet is reliable. It was such a great stay, we’d absolutely come back.

Staying here was MAGICAL.  We woke up with tucans everywhere.  All the comforts of a modern home, including good wifi, but surrounded by gorgeous tropical flora and wildlife.  However, do not skip the 4WD; the hills are very steep.

We really enjoyed staying at Andrea’s house! It has really unique design. Especially jungle view from one of the bedrooms and stunning view of the ocean from patio!!! Must have 4x4 to get up there. The drive is very step! All nice restaurants are just below. Great location! Would love to be back

If you are looking for amazing views with an excellent two bedroom two bath layout. This house and road(it's entertainment every time) is perfect. The photos are as accurate as possible without actually being there. Hot days were comfortable due to the architecture and both bedrooms cooled quickly for sleeping temperatures. While we were there we saw several birds and monkeys from the home. As far as bugs go...I don't know. We didn't see nearly as many as expected. We are from Maine. So, trading black flies and mosquitoes for two small spiders, a few beetles and a few grasshoppers seemed like a bargain. We just used the dust pan that has a handle and the broom. Instructions: Sweep in pan and let them go back outside. Lorean is exceptional to deal with. He made the process of meeting up and getting to the home as effortless as possible. He's sincerely happy to give you good advice or leave you alone. Your choice. Everything you need is within 10 minutes. Including several incredible restaurants for such a small area. The community and environment is outstanding!

A beautiful remote home in the jungle, with daily Tuscans, howler monkeys and coatis, among other animals. Very relaxing and quiet. Beds were comfortable and the home was stocked well with essential items. Internet worked well. There are bugs and lizards that make their way into the open floor plan of the home, which did not bother us but may be something to consider. The driveway leading up to the house is an obstacle and is stressful to navigate, limiting the amount of times we wanted to up and down it. There isn’t anything walking distance surrounding the house otherwise so we tried to plan late morning outings and coming back to the house later with dinner.

We just returned from our stay in Uvita and loved Andrea and Tim's place! We would highly recommend it. The views were stunning and can't be beat. We spent many mornings and evenings relaxing on the back patio enjoying the birds and wildlife. Loren, the house manager was amazing, too. We can't wait to stay again!

Very secluded place with an incredible view. I recommend arriving before dark to get settled in and make the drive easier.

House was absolutely fantastic. The views didn't disappoint. Would definitely recommend this listing. Loren was an add bonus just overall great person. Can't wait to return!

I loved this place & We had a wonderful time in this beautiful modern home with amazing views of the horizon & the town of Uvita Witnessing some incredible sunsets & waking up to the orchestra of bird life and bug chirping. The pictures do their best to do it due Justice… It’s a little piece of a dream. A 4x4 is definitely necessary.. Definitely worth it. Would love to come back again someday.

Andrea’s place is lovely! Check in was super easy with the property manager, Loren, who was super helpful. The house itself is great! Nice big open space and huge kitchen. The house is super secluded and private - you don’t hear any neighbors, just animals. You can only access the house with 4x4. The road up is quite steep, but it wasn’t an issue at all - during the day or night as it’s not bumpy at all. Overall we loved our short stay and would definitely recommend! Just reminder you are REALLY in the jungle here, so you will have critters :)

You have to go and see for yourself. The energy there is self healing and the view will make you want to stay forever.

Excellent Views!  Excellent Location! Excellent Property! Excellent Hospitality!  Would Absolutely Consider Staying Again! Pura Vida!

This house was such a great find! The views are absolutely stunning and the house is exactly as pictured. We loved the wildlife and the area so much. Definitely ask the host and property manager for suggestions of things to do in the area as they helped us find some amazing activities while in Uvita. You 100% need a 4x4 to get to this house as other reviews and the hosts mentioned.

The view was amazing and Loren was extremely helpful the entire time. you Absolutely need a 4 x 4 or else you will not be able to make it up that hill (trust me we tried lol). just be aware that it is in the jungle and there’s a lot of bugs. But overall, it was a gorgeous stay. Highly recommend!

Nice Views, Small town. A place to relax.

Andrea and Tim’s place made for an incredible home away from home. Their caretaker Loren did a fantastic job of communicating everything clearly and helping us get some great activities booked. The view of the whales tale is spectacular, and the house has all of the amenities you could want or need. The hill leading up to the house can seem intimidating at first, but after a few trips into town it was a piece of cake. Would definitely stay here again, highly recommend this amazing Airbnb if staying in Uvita.

The roads leading up to the house are STEEEEEEP. I feel like that really needs to be highlighted. You CANNOT go up without a 4x4. The house itself is fantastic, and the layout is so wonderful. We had daily visitors; Toucans Howler monkeys, and all kinds of birds. Even owls! The view is breathtaking. Pool is not heated and it's COLD. Saw some epic sunrises and sunsets from  this house. Thank you!!

Andrea's house is great located with a priceless view of Uvita and the National Park Marino Ballena. Even though the house is licensed for 6 people and has enough and good sleeping arrangements it is perfect for 4 people from our point of view. Loren the janitor was great to deal with. He responded to messages within minutes. He has a really positive charisma Important is without 4x4 the house is not accessible

We LOVED Pura Uvita! The deck view was ridiculous and the home was perfect for our family. The bathrooms, bedrooms and shared space were perfect for our family. The drive up the hill was crazy but you adapt to this new normal very quickly! Make sure you get 4x4 with the rental. We woke up to 7 or 8 howler monkeys on the 2nd morning, it was so cool. 4:45 am came early but it was such a unique experience that we didn’t care one bit. They must roam around a bit because that was the only morning where they were right by the property. Uvita was a very enjoyable town, low key but plenty to do. Our favorites were: Sibu, Mosaic, Oasis Uvita (with Sebastian), Tagua, Jungle ATV tour, Bahia Adventura Whale tour, Playa Ventana beach and our hour drive to Manuel Antonio (the guided tour is worth it). All in all, a fabulous and very unique experience.

Beautiful place,  out of the ordinary ideal mountain and beach atmosphere in one , my family enjoyed it very much .

Lugar hermoso ,  fuera de lo común ambiente ideal montaña y playa en uno , mi familia lo disfruto mucho .

Great home, great host, great property manager that actually takes you to the property after you meet at a place nearby. The property manager, Loren, speaks English and is from the US and can answer any questions you have. Great guy! The house itself is super unique and beautiful. All the other reviews say the they saw sloths and toucans and monkeys. I saw zero sloths and monkeys, but I saw three toucans which were awesome. If you don’t see other wildlife like me, just go to Manuel Antonio and you’ll 100% see two kinds of monkeys, snakes, frogs, and most definitely sloths. I also recommend going to Whale Tail beach, which is in the Marino Bellana national park. I believe entrance is $6 per person. It was the most beautiful beach I’ve ever been to in my life, and you can even see the whale tail from the house!! Check in to when low tide is and go when it’s low tide so that you can walk up the whale tail and maybe even see some whales. Back to the house though, it was in a great location, secluded, there is construction nearby but not super annoying. I think that’s why we didn’t see much wildlife, but like I said, we saw what we wanted to see at Manuel Antonio! Pool was great, outdoor shower didn’t work, but Loren said they were getting it fixed soon. Showers didn’t get hot, they were warm, but much better than other places in Costa Rica I stayed at. Also, showers are half outside, which was kinda interesting to get used to, but I didn’t mind at all. Beds are comfortable, views are impeccable. The one thing I couldn’t tell from the pictures is that the living room has those sliding glass doors on one side, but it’s all screen on the opposite side of the living room. This was the place that had the most bugs during my Costa Rican vacation. We had lizards in our room, spiders in the bathroom, flying bugs, etc. but, you’re in Costa Rica and if you’re staying at this place for a few nights, you get used to the indoor outdoor experience. Overall great location and great place. I would stay here again for sure. You should too, now that I’ve prepared you, there would be no surprises, just book!

Loved the place! Beautiful views and a beautiful house. You definitely need a 4x4 or a powerful RWD vehicle.

Great location, perfect view of the whale's tail. Drive up to the house is rough the first time but once you get used to grades and turns, it's no big deal. You will need a 4x4 as they recommend.

We loved our stay. The beds were comfortable and the views are amazing. Thank you so much for offering your home as a vacation rental.

This house was amazing, the location was amazing, and the views were spectacular from the pool and and out door living areas! We got engaged at sunset looking over the rainforest and perfect view of the whales tail! Loren was very informative and knowledgeable of the area he will help you out with any of you needs. Couldn’t asking for anything more. Perfect rental!

Note: Need 4x4 to get here. Very steep Rocky dirt road. Loren will guide you along the way, but a challenge to get to. But totally worth it. Quite modern space hidden with amazing view and ambiance. Simple 2 bedroom lay out. Uvita is a lovely small town with plenty to eat. Highly recommend.

A house with everything you need, a beautiful view. Close to supermarkets. In a very safe area. You need to go by 4x4 car.

Una casa con todo lo que necesitas, una vista hermosa. Cerca de supermercados. En una zona muy segura. Se necesita ir en carro 4x4.

Stunning views!! Private and secluded but still close to town. I highly recommend!! Can’t wait to come back :)

Pura Uvita is a total gem on the hill above Uvita!  Extremely hip space with incredible views of the famous Whale's Tail.  If you are a smaller party (two couples or less) , this is probably one of the absolute best places to stay in the area!

A nature experience with all the comfort of the city and an unbeatable view.  A prime location, near everything.

Una experiencia en la naturaleza con todo el confort de la ciudad y una vista inmejorable.  Una locación privilegiada cerca de todo.

Pura Uvita was the perfect place to come back to after our many adventures. The back patio, views, and private setting were our favorite! The open air living room/kitchen was a comfortable temperature, and it was nice to have a/c in the bedrooms. We woke up a couple of mornings to a howler monkey and saw many beautiful birds and butterflies. The host were amazing! He met us to show us the way to the house, and set up massage appointments for us in a flash.  We are grateful for our stay and would definitely go back!

Beautiful view, nice location, nice personal escort by Loren the house manager!

The view from the property is absolutely stunning and the space itself is very nice. There is currently construction very close to the property however which begins daily at 6am and lasts until 5pm. This is noted in the post, but was louder and more disruptive than we expected. This unfortunately dampened our experience of what was otherwise a beautiful place to stay.

The house is beautiful, comfortable and quiet. It has a great view, the landscape is beautiful, you can see the whale line of the marine whale national park. The house is super clean and very well equipped, with everything you need to cook, it really doesn't need to bring anything else. We will definitely be back

La casa es hermosa, cómoda y silenciosa Tiene una gran vista, el paisaje es hermoso, se puede observar la cola de ballena del parque nacional marino ballena. La casa super limpia y muy bien equipada, con todo lo que se necesita para cocinar, de verdad no se ocupa llevar nada mas. Definitivamente volveremos

The Location is amazing and the View is breathtaking.... But this is all about it!! The Hose has a nice concept but it is poorly build and the materials are cheap. there is a huge luck of attention to details and to comfort. it is definitely not worthed the price you will pay for. the view is stunning and you are surrounded by the forest, but the neighbors are building a huge house directly on top of this property so prepare to be wake up by terrible construction noises at 6am EVERY morning!! this was unexpected and we were not aware of this so be sure to double check and ask Andrea if the work are ended before booking this place, or forget about any birds singing or jungle atmosphere. the only noise you will have to deal with are hammers and drilling all day long! the concept of the house it is nice and is open to the surrounded nature, but there is a huge luck of comfort. the table is big enough to be comfortable for two people. the sofa beds are hold and rigid. the kitchen is badly exquipped. the lights are not pleasant and you will have to use just this high-power and cold spotlights from the ceiling. it is impossible to have a lounge atmosphere once the sun goes down and it is impossible to read a book without wake up the whole house as there are no lights dedicated to any "private" moments. the pool is not an infinity one! it works only till you first jump in it. once you have first swim there, the level of the water will go down and there will be no riclycling active. the cleaners come just once a week, so make sure to use it only the day after they come if you do not want to jump on a little pond! no hangers all over the place. so if you need to dry your swimming wear or your beach towels, good luck find a place on the walls or on the chairs of the outdoor small table. honestly it is a pity as the pace has a big potential and the location is perfect, but it has been clearly poorly build with cheap materials and a complete luck of sense of design and comfort, which you would expect for the money you pay for it. shame that all these comments have been plurely submitted to Andrea, but without been listen and accepted. so I doubt this will ever been improved. Just be aware of all these before booking this place, compared to the expectations you might have for the money you spent.
