Casa Paraiso - Beautiful Resort Villa #5 Costa Rica - Houses for Rent in Uvita, Provincia de Puntarenas, Costa Rica

Beautiful view and great central location to everything we did. Would stay again.

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

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

La villa est tout simplement incroyable ! La vue est imprenable, la villa est splendide, très bien équipée. La piscine infini, les oiseaux à profusion (dont un toucan), l'espace extérieur au grand complet... Honnêtement, arrêtez d'hésiter et réservez ! Vous ne le regretterez pas !

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

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

The house was very nice and the view was amazing

La casa era muy bonita y la vista era increíble

Beautiful house with an amazing pool and spectacular view, it is much better than in the photos.

This was a great place to stay for a group of 12. Ocean view, nice location.

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

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

This has to be the best house in Uvita.  Great view, close to town and all the activities

This airbnb is def worth it and worth the views. Hard to get to, communication is off because you’re not talking to the same person on the app vs when they reach out to you outside of this app. Make sure your transportation is aware of the exact location of the airbnb since it’s hard to find and terrible service at the location. Bad WiFi when we went too but that also may be because of rain. Overall the airbnb is nice but could be better.

This was An amazing home! We had Toucans and Parrots outside every morning and our last morning we saw two monkeys in the trees next to the home!

The place is perfect, lots of space, super clean, stunning view, great location, would definitely love to go back!

This house was a great space for our large party.  It was very clean. The outdoor space with pool and view was outstanding!

Increíble villa - even better than the pictures! Everything was amazing about our stay and particularly the support from Amanda in organizing transport, massages and private chef during our stay. It was truly memorable! Thank you so much!!

My Airbnb stay was a mix of positives and challenges. Highlights included a stunning view, impressive pool, and comfortable beds. The place was clean and secure. However, there were drawbacks. Check-in lacked clear instructions, causing confusion. A key issue was a non-functional gas stove due to an empty gas bottle, which disrupted our cooking plans and led to frustration. Communication with the host was challenging and often required third-party help. The delay in fixing the stove was inconvenient. The kitchen, particularly the dishwasher, needed attention as it was unstable and ineffective. Finding bath towels and replacing batteries for the air conditioner remote were additional minor inconveniences. Overall, the property's fantastic environment was overshadowed by these significant issues. The potential of the property is undeniable, but the practical problems and communication difficulties affected the experience. Improvements in these areas would enhance future stays.

This was our second stay at this lovely villa. My wife and I have traveled widely and stayed in many rental properties in the US Europe, and now in the jungles and beaches of Costa Rica. This house is as good or better than any luxury home we've rented anywhere. Good security, clean as a whistle, and unbelievable views, along with peace and quiet. We loved the birds and monkeys that we saw. Food in local restaurants is world-class and the people are great. Highly recommended!

Hermosa Resort Villa 5 in Costa Rica is stunning and the view of the beach and Pacific Ocean is mesmerizing! The house itself is spacious, spotless, and incredibly comfortable. And occasional sightings of toucans, parrots, monkeys, and other wildlife added to the enchantment. The electronic gate adds piece of mind, and there was a very nice gift basket waiting for us on arrival. I highly recommended for a memorable and relaxing stay in paradise. Pure bliss!

I recently had the pleasure of renting a gated luxury house in Uvita, Costa Rica. It was in the Hermosa Resort Villas community, and I have to say, it was an amazing experience. The highlight undoubtedly was the magnificent view of the Pacific Ocean from the patio and pool area. The house itself was of very high quality and modern. It exceeded my expectations. And there was a ton of room for our party of 6. What impressed me a lot was the security services on-site, which gave me great confidence in the privacy, peace and quiet of the property. Overall, I would highly recommend this home to anyone looking for a peaceful and luxurious getaway in Costa Rica.

If you are looking for a true paradise on earth, look no further than Hermosa resort villa 5. It's located off a paved road for easy access with the beach a short drive away and the jungle right at your doorstep. We recently did horseback riding (a mile away), an ATV jungle tour, a boat cruise, and ate some of the best food ever at several local restaurants. Property management was very professional in demeanor, appearance, and in rendering assistance with reservations and questions. The villa has every feature you could want, and a floor plan that makes the most of the views, but it is the infinity pool and patio that really steals the show with an unbelievable view of the ocean. Just watching and listening to the ocean is mesmerizing. The jungle is directly across the street, so we woke up every morning to the sounds of exotic birds and howler monkeys. I can strongly recommend this villa and the people who oversee it. A great place to stay for your home away from home.

Didn't Want to Ever Leave! If you're looking for an escape in the heart of Costa Rica's lush green mountains, this villa overlooking the famous Whale's Tail is something to consider. The host was amazing! Very personalized service, we were shown all we needed to know about the villa, and how to operate everything. He checked in the next morning to make sure all was to our satisfaction - it was and we couldn't have been happier. Plus, he had a bottle of nice Chardonnay and some fruit as a welcoming gift. The villa is spacious, comfortable, and had plenty of room for our group of 6 to spread out and relax. The bedrooms are spacious and well appointed. Also, it was spotless. The view from the outdoor space truly takes your breath away. A beautiful stone terrace and gorgeous wood deck surround a crystal clear pool. Overall, this mountainside villa was a dream come true for us.
