My family stayed in Costa's house for a month and let me tell you, the photos simply don't do it justice....It was a 12/10 for us! The house is tucked high into the mountain side where its just you and nature (we saw macaws, monkeys, toucans, etc every day) with stunning views that make you not want to leave the place. The house has everything that one would need and more. All of the rooms are spacious and there's more than enough room for 10 people to lounge about. The drive up to the house is a lot of fun - but you definitely will want to have a 4X4 to reach it though as it is quite step in places. We would 100% return to this house over and over again!

We really enjoyed our stay! The house was amazing with so many wonderful features. The tile around the pool was non slip, the pool was gorgeous with an ocean view, the towels were in abundance as were the sheets. The kitchen was well appointed and the outdoor areas were so spacious. Our caretaker, Henry, was great at providing information and taking care of any issues. He was very responsive. We would return!

We stayed here with our group of 10 people for a family holiday. Overall, the location is stunning with sweeping views of the ocean and forest and frequent wildlife sightings. The house itself was plenty spacious for our large group, well-equipped for cooking, and well-furnished throughout the indoor and outdoor areas. Plus, it has a pool and an outdoor BBQ. Restaurants and shops in Uvita are about 10–15 minutes away by car. Note that you’ll need a 4x4 vehicle to comfortably access the house, and the hill climb takes some time to get used to since it’s very steep and rocky. There were also some issues with the house. First, the place was noticeably dirty. We had to wash a few of the bed sheets upon arrival and found dust, stains, etc. throughout the house. The house is in need of some renovations as it’s starting to look outdated and worn. Things like the wi-fi and stove didn’t always work properly — all of which I’d normally forgive, but not at the rate we paid.
The villa was amazing. The pictures do not do it justice! It's huge. We were two families with a total of 4 children and we were more than comfortable. The house has everything you need if you want to prepare your own food. The best part is the location. You are basically at the top of the hill looking down on beautiful lush greenery and the ocean at the bottom. It is quite a little adventurous drive to get to the house, but you get used to it. 4x4 car is necessary!! It is very private and seems secluded even though there are neighbors around. We would stay here again in a heartbeat!

Spacious Home - Incredible Surroundings/Views - Outstanding Host Team Our host, was not just friendly but also incredibly responsive and attentive from the very beginning. Our month’s stay at Casa Oktara hosted by Costa was phenomenal! The spacious home with breathtaking views was perfect for our family retreat. Henry and James from the Costa team were attentive and made us feel welcome and valued throughout our stay. The well-kept pool and lush surroundings made it the ideal place to relax and enjoy our first time in Costa Rica. My family adored this house.This was our first time in Costa Rica, and without knowing, we chose the perfect home for our family adventure. We were lucky and grateful for Henry and James from the Costa team, who went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and valued throughout our stay. We appreciate them both as people, and we take their kindness, attentiveness, and hospitality in our hearts like we are taking our experience in Costa Rica, Uvita,

Had an absolutely wonderful time at Henry’s house while also easily popping into Envision when we felt like having a little boogie which is a short drive away. So much wildlife would swoop, cruise or saunter by at all times of the day and night. The bedrooms were beautiful, and the kitchen such a joy to cook in. Would recommend to any group of friends or family that are hoping to spend some time in Uvita. Thank you Henry!!

Amazing stay, Henry was lovely and the house is stunning. The house and view is even better than the photos! Highly recommend!
So the location of the house was not correct in the itinerary that was sent to us as part of our confirmation email, but this didn't matter in the end because we arranged to meet Henry in town and he drove us up to the property. I don't think we would have found it otherwise. But, Costa's place is high up above Uvita, on the hills, with an amazing view. You would probably need a 4x4 car to get there. It is totally private and all the facilities are as per the amazing photographs. The house is vast, with a really clean perfect sized pool. The outside space is well furnished, with outside fans which make it a really pleasant experience to watch the sun go down behind the hills. It is quite a distance from town up the road to the property and so I would recommend doing a food shop before you go up to the house. There are restaurants in town, but once at the house, we just didn't want to leave! We loved our stay and would definitely go back.

The house and location are all 5 star. The kitchen needs some upgrades with pots, pans and knives. But the house was everything we wanted. Beautiful views! Costa was very responsive with everything we needed. Thank you for the stay! Pura Vida

Great villa in a good location. Excellent helpful host. Superb view over the whale fin. You definitely need a good 4x4 to reach the villa.
