This home is absolutely gorgeous.  We were a group of 9 and had more than enough space. Some of the rooms had ac and those without had fans. The fans were sufficient to keep us comfortable throughout our stay. the house was clean and had everything we could need.  The pool was clean and we enjoyed it every afternoon.   There was a path from the property directly to the beach. it was a short walk, about 3 min. It was a short drive into town, where we bought groceries. The area was beautiful.  We saw  a sloth in the backyard,many monkeys and a racoon.  It was a great experience and highly recommend this home. Check in and check out was easy. Daniel assisted with check in and let us know he was available if we needed anything.  The host, Armando,  also did great with communicating and checking in with me to ensure all was well. I have no complaints,  everything was beautiful and perfect.

I loved this place! If you have a big group it’s the perfect place to stay to be close to the beach and be in the wilderness

My friends and I had an amazing time on our trip! Armando and the other hosts and staff were all so friendly and welcoming. We always had exactly what we needed and enjoyed spending time at the house just as much as we did in town!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. It was as described. No AC but strong fans everywhere.  The space was awesome with lots of room for everyone. The back patio was very large and a great place to sit and watch the monkeys. The pool was clean and the private path to the beach was great. It is quite rustic, but if you want to be surrounded by nature, and like birds constantly singing this is a great place. (lots of bugs but you are in the jungle). The host Armando was always checking in to see if we needed anything and Daniel was Very attentive and responsive. Armando also  gave very good recommendations to places to eat. would highly recommend this home.

The place is great, a very spacious house, and a spectacular location. The only thing missing is the details. The pool was dirty and needed a good deep cleaning. They left broken pool toys (in my opinion, trash) from the previous tenants. The smoke extractor didn't work, and the TV supposedly worked, but we could never get it to work. The pool service was blocked, and we couldn't get it to work. But I can't take anything away from the place. It's a very good place to stay. Just take care of the details.

el lugar es grandioso, una casa bien espaciosa, y un lugar espectacular, lo único que le falta son los detalles, la piscina estaba sucia le faltaba una buena limpieza profunda y dejaron juguetes de piscina rotos (en mi opinión, basura) de los inquilinos anteriores, el extractor de humo no funcionaba y supuestamente el tele funcionaba pero nunca pudimos hacer que funcionará, el servicio de la piscina estaba taqueado y no pudimos hacer que funcionara,pero no puedo quitar el crédito del lugar un muy buen lugar para hospedarse, solo de cuidar los detalles.

Amazing place, air conditioned could be great!

The house is very comfortable and spacious, and the access to the beach is unbeatable. The property is absolutely beautiful. We left happy and looking forward to returning.

la casa muy cómoda , espaciosa y el acceso a la playa inigualable , la propiedad súper bella , nos vamos felices con ganas de regresar

Armando's property is wonderful. It matches the description 100%; it's even better. Everything was great, and Armando is super nice and was always available for anything we needed.

La propiedad de Armando es una maravilla. Coincide al 100% con la descripción, es incluso mejor. Todo ha estado genial y Armando es súper agradable y ha estado siempre disponible para todo lo que necesitábamos.

Loved this place, wished we could’ve stayed longer! This house is even better in person than in pictures. For 12 of us, including children, the house had everything we needed and more. The path to the beach is beautiful and so convenient, especially if you’re traveling with children in this area. The location is perfect. If you love nature, this place is for you. Armando was a great host, always responsive and friendly! Daniel was also very helpful! Would love to return one day :)

Excellent place. Quiet, cool, comfortable, and truly beautiful, surrounded by lush nature for rest and relaxation. It is simply perfect for an unforgettable vacation. The location is ideal, very close to some of the best beaches in the area, which makes it even better. Armando is an exceptional host, always attentive and willing to help. 100% recommended! We are leaving happy and deeply grateful for this wonderful experience.✨

Excelente lugar. Tranquilo, fresco, cómodo y realmente hermoso, rodeado de exuberante naturaleza para descansar y relajarse. Es simplemente perfecto para disfrutar de unas vacaciones inolvidables. La ubicación es ideal, muy cerca de algunas de las mejores playas de la zona, lo que lo hace aún mejor. Armando es un anfitrión excepcional, siempre atento y dispuesto a ayudar. ¡Recomendado al 100%! Nos vamos felices y profundamente agradecidos por esta maravillosa experiencia.✨

We had an excellent stay! The host was perfect—very attentive and helpful throughout our visit. The house was very clean, well equipped, and had everything we needed to feel comfortable. The location is excellent, very convenient and close to everything. Overall, a wonderful experience. Highly recommended!

There were 8 of us, and this place was perfect in every way! Lush flora and fauna just 2 steps from the beach. Very well equipped, and Armando was very responsive and helpful. If I come back to Costa Rica, I will consider staying with Armando. Don't hesitate!

Nous étions 8 personnes et ce logement était en tous points parfait! Faune et flore luxuriantes à 2 pas de la plage. Tres bien équipé et Armando a été très réactif et serviable. si je reviens au Costa Rica, je penserai à Armando. N'hésitez pas!

Absolutely loved our stay! The location was perfect, beds comfortable, and very well ventilated.

Amazing location for me because Punta Uva is my favorite beach in that area, as I prefer more mellow waves. The hosts are so helpful and kind.

Everything was very nice as always. The service, the attention, the communication, the place is amazing. It's a perfect place!  Thank you very much once again!

Todo muy bonito como siempre. El servicio, la atencion, la comunicacion, el lugar increible. Es un lugar perfecto!  Muchissimas gracias una vez mas!

We absolutely loved our stay here! It's the perfect location... surrounded by jungle, but a quick walk from the beach and a close drive to a lot of restaurants. With its many screened windows and large porch, this home immersed us quite comfortably into nature.
The kitchen is well-equipped and there are plenty of bathrooms (not all on the listing) and outside showers. 
Also mid-way thru our 6-night stay, the cleaner came and gave the house a thorough cleaning. 
The hospitality of the hosts is amazing. 
This place far exceeded our expectations and we highly recommend it! 
We hope to be back:)

We absolutely loved the house!  Great location!  Nice path to the beach. Everything was clean. Pool was very nice. We were a group of 8 and loved it. Each couple had their own bedroom and ensuite!  Would stay here again!

Our stay at the Casa del Reloj was extraordinary. We loved being able to experience nature from the comfort of the house. It was also very nice to feel that Daniel was always willing to answer any questions that might arise. He was always very attentive and helpful. It was certainly a wonderful experience for me and my whole family. Thank you so much!

Nuestra estadía en la Casa del Reloj fue extraordinaria. Nos encantó poder vivir la naturaleza desde la comodidad de la casa. Fue además muy agradable sentir que Daniel estaba siempre dispuesto a atender cualquier cuestión que pudiera surgir. Fue siempre muy atento y colaborador. Sin duda fue para mí y toda mi familia una experiencia maravillosa. Muchas gracias!

Excellent stay, I would definitely return. The house was impeccable and all the attention from the reservation to the check out was exceptional

Excelente hospedaje volvería sin duda la casa impecable y toda la atención desde la reservación hasta el check out fue excepcional

We had a great week! The house is as described, lots of space, clean, nice amenities. If you need air conditioning or quiet all the time - this is not the place for you. You will be connected with nature and all the sounds. We had no idea after 3 days someone would come and clean, she refreshed everything. It was lovely. So much to do all around, the area is amazing and the nature! You will see monkeys, sloths, butterflies, birds. It’s very beautiful and so relaxing. We recommend El Refugio Grill, a lovely dinner. Ride the rainforest for horses, the local cooking class, zip lining by Nativo, motor bike rental in town. The grocery stores are 10 minutes away and the store across the street is perfect for small items. Please note- they provide pool towels but no beach towels. This is the only thing I wish I knew- bring a sarong, light towel, sheet for the beach. It’s always humid- nothing dries so fast drying items! You won’t care though- it’s so fun and beautiful.

The attention of Armando and everyone in the accommodation was great, the house is ideal for groups or families, it has everything to enjoy, share and have a good time

La atención de Armando y todos en el hospedaje estuvo super bien, la casa es ideal para grupos o familias, tiene de todo para disfrutar, compartir y pasar buenos momentos

I rented the house for a family vacation, including grandkids ages nine to seventeen. Ten of us had room to spare, the seventeen year old got her own bedroom. The rooms were nice, if basic, with good screens instead of windows as is typical. Four en suite bathrooms were a plus, plenty of hot water for showers. The kitchen was equipped but lacked some basics like food storage ( plastic wrap, plastic bins with lids). The lack of AC was not an issue and all rooms came with high quality silent ceiling fans. The hosts were always responsive to our needs and the housekeepers were friendly and welcoming. The swimming pool was clean and well maintained, with stacks of fresh soft towels at hand. We saw lots of fauna but NO MOSQUITOES!!! ( It was end of December) By the way, last week in December is Tica vacation time and Punta Uva is SWAMPED with traffic and noisy with activity. The property is beautiful jungle with easy access to a sheltered beach. A definite repeat at a less popular time.

the place is amazing, it is super close to the ocean, the beach is beautiful, the house is very nice and fully equipped with everything you need, perfect place to spend time with friends, family and connect with nature

el lugar es increíble, está super cerca del océano, la playa es preciosa, la casa es muy bonita y full equipada con todo lo necesario, lugar perfecto para pasar con amigos, familia y conectar con la naturaleza

Beautiful property, great for large family with kids. Love how there are so many bathrooms and open areas for groups. Stayed for two weeks and felt at home. Easy access to beach via private pathway, loved the little market across the street - had all the essentials, walking distance to Arrecife beach club (great for day passes with the kids to get yummy food and drinks on lounge chairs and watching kiddos play.) Saw howler monkeys, sloths, butterflies, turtles…etc all around the property. Love it!

Armando’s place was amazing! The beds were super comfortable and all the spaces were so nice. We really enjoyed the pool and the terrace with the grill! The kitchen was fully equipped and great to do big lunches. Armando was super nice, helpful and responsive. They just renovated and painted the house and you can tell it’s very well kept. Thank you!

Comfortable accommodation, very good location, designed for large groups, which allows you to have different environments but at the same time with group meeting options.

Alojamiento cómodo, muy buena ubicación, planeado para grupos grandes lo que permite tener ambientes diferenciados pero a la vez con opciones de reunión grupal.

The place is beautiful, spacious and ventilated. It is equipped with everything needed for large groups of people; in our case, there were 14 of us and we all felt very comfortable. All the rooms were very nice, the bathrooms were great, the living room and kitchen were perfect. The pool area is ideal for hanging out, laughing and relaxing. Inside the property there is a path that leads to the beach in less than 5 minutes walking. Communication with Armando was very simple and quick, always kind and attentive to what we needed. Very satisfied with the place and everything, and I would definitely stay there again ♡

El lugar es precioso, amplio y ventilado. Se encuentra equipado con todo lo necesario para grupos grandes de personas; en nuestro caso, fuimos 14 personas y todas nos sentimos muy cómodas. Todas las habitaciones eran muy bonitas, los baños eran óptimos, la sala y la cocina perfectas. El área de piscina es ideal para pasar el rato, reir y relajarse. Dentro de la propiedad hay un camino que lleva a la playa en menos de 5 minutos caminando. La comunicación con Armando fue muy sencilla y rápida, siempre amable y atento a lo que necesitaramos. Muy satisfecha con el lugar con todo y en definitiva volvería a quedarme ahí ♡

We really enjoyed staying at this AirBnb. The house was very clean and the host was super responsive and helpful. The highlight was sitting on the deck watching monkeys playing in the trees.

We are returning group of guests and we just love this place!!! We hope to return again soon!!

We loved our stay at Reloj de Arena! The house is just a few steps from the beach, which was ideal to enjoy to the fullest. The pool area and terrace are perfect for relaxing and sharing with family. Armando and Daniel were super attentive throughout our stay, always willing to help. Super comfortable beds and pillows and the perfect house for large groups! We recommend this beautiful house and hope to return very soon ✨

¡Nos encantó nuestra estadía en Reloj de Arena! La casa está a solo unos pasos de la playa, lo cual fue ideal para disfrutar al máximo. La zona de la piscina y la terraza es perfecta para relajarse y compartir en familia. Armando y Daniel fueron súper atentos durante toda nuestra estancia, siempre dispuestos a ayudar. Las camas y las almohadas súper cómodas y la casa perfecta para grupos grandes! Recomendamos esta hermosa casa y esperamos volver muy pronto ✨

Highly recommended, very beautiful and heavenly

Super recomendado, muy hermoso y paradisíaco

A beautiful house in the best Caribbean style, surrounded by nature, in a private and very quiet place. We'll definitely be back.

Una casa preciosa al mejor estilo caribeño, rodeada de mucha naturaleza, en un lugar privado y muy tranquilo. Volveremos sin duda.

Great location, beautiful surroundings & minutes away from Playa PUNTA UVA & ARRECIFE. The backyard felt like we were in a nature preserve, w/sounds of Howler monkeys & birds, and not unusual to spot a sloth high up in a tree branch. The house is spacious and ideal for large groups. The huge deck and pool area, where we spent a lot of time, were definitely among our favorite features of the property. Our host, Armando, was easy to reach via DM and very responsive. However, we were also fortunate to have had Marta close-by. She lives on the property, and from day 1, frequently checked in with us and was always eager to assist with anything we needed. If there were any downsides about our stay, it would be the lack of a washer & dryer. Due to frequent rain & high humidity, it was virtually impossible to hang-dry anything. Also, the upstairs living quarters were poorly ventilated, and not as spacious & comfortable as the downstairs. Yet, overall a great place to stay & would recommend!

We love the house, it's spacious, comfortable, with everything you need I'd go back many times

La casa nos encanta , es espaciosa , cómoda , con todo lo necesario Volvería muchas veces

Our group absolutely loved this place and it was the best Airbnb I have ever stayed at!  There was more to the property than listed in the description and pictures.  The main house has 6 bedrooms and 6.5 baths.  The shared half bath on the covered patio was super convenient.  The pool house also has a full bath that we weren't aware of but was a nice surprise, and there are 3 additional outdoor showers.  A 1-2 minute walk to Punta Uva beach and ~10 minute walk to some bars/restaurants as well.  There is also a nice convenience store right across the street.  The house itself is amazing with daily sightings of howler monkeys, sloths, and all sorts of birds.  We also saw an anteater and Jesus Christ lizard right on the property!   There's no need to leave unless you want to!

This is my 3rd stay here with a group and I highly recommend if you're looking to feel like you're in the jungle with only a short walk to the beach. The house is all open air, no AC, just screens for the windows, and fans. the monkeys and raccoons and kiwatis are active. do not leave your sparkly items on the deck, one of the animals took my shawl with gold sparkles! they'll eat your food too if you leave out in the kitchen. this family is so kind and helpful. I appreciate this wild jungle space that feels so safe and immersed in nature. Remember that you're in the jungle though so keep the kitchen clean to avoid ants!

Our entire family gathered to celebrate our 50th anniversary. This home could not have been better for our family. The kitchen was a perfect place for large group cooking. With a sloth and howler monkeys and the beautiful jungle setting around us it felt like paradise. I highly recommend this home. Thanks Amondo !

The residence we stayed in during our stay in Costa Rica is a little gem hidden in the Costa Rican jungle. We enjoyed the space of this residence, the large terrace, the bedrooms with bathrooms, access to the beach and the pool. The residence is well-equipped, except for a hair dryer that we would have appreciated having at our disposal. Teresita was very kind and responded to our requests quickly, we were pampered! Like any gem, the residence would need a little love to regain all its luster, it would be to its advantage. We did not enjoy the pool as much as we wanted, the more days that passed the more the water turned green. Finally, we washed the floor on arrival, it really needed it! On the other hand, the cleaning of our rooms was done every 3 days and it was very good.

La résidence que nous avons habité lors de notre séjour au Costa Rica est un petit bijou caché dans la jungle costaricaine. Nous avons apprécié l’espace de cette résidence, la grande terrasse, les chambres avec salles de bain, l’accès à la plage et la piscine. La résidence est bien équipée, sauf pour un séchoir à cheveux que nous aurions apprécié avoir à notre disposition. Teresita a été très gentille et répondait à nos demandes rapidement, nous avons été choyé! Comme tout bijou la résidence aurait besoin d’un peu d’amour pour retrouver tout son lustre, cela serait à son avantage. Nous n’avons pas profité de la piscine autant que nous le souhaitions, plus les jours passaient plus l’eau devenait verdâtre. Enfin, nous avons lavé le plancher à notre arrivée, celui-ci en avait bien besoin! En revanche, le ménage de nos chambres a été effectué aux 3 jours et c’était très bien.

We had 14 adults and were afraid we might be crowded. No, there was plenty of room to spread out, and good Wifi for those who had to work online.  The place is not in perfect shape, but the beds were comfortable, the rooms were clean, and the kitchen is huge and well equipped. The hosts were very responsive and kind. The pool was delightful. The best part is the location. Right in the jungle, with birds, sloths and monkeys all around. We had a fabulous time and would definitely stay there again.

My friends and I loved the whole space - very comfortable for large groups, super comfortable kitchen, amazing terrace in the jungle and the proximity to the beach is spectacular. It also feels too safe, clean and all very nice.

Mis amigos y a mí nos encantó todo el espacio: muy cómodo para grupos grandes, cocina súper cómoda, terraza increíble en la selva y la cercanía a la playa es espectacular. Además se siente demasiado seguro, limpio y todo muy agradable.

I feel mixed with this place to stay. This is a large spacious house with lots of bathrooms and lots of beds, we have plenty of space to be! The path to the beach is picturesque. The kitchen is beautiful and very clean. But the places lacked love and maintenance. The pool had troubled water, the seats around were uncomfortable, dirty, and hard. The yoga deck was broken, depicted, a walk was missing (it was fixed at my request). The kitchen was less well equipped than I thought. The surroundings of the house were noisy, with the main road and neighbors right next door. But above all, the host didn't respond in a convenient time. I sometimes had to wait more than a day for a return, including the day of my arrival. This place could be magical, the base is amazing. But it would require more attention from hosts, a global refresh, more maintenance to deserve more than 3 stars.

Je me sens mitigée face à cet hébergement. C’est une grande maison spacieuse avec énormément de salles de bain et beaucoup de lits, on a plein d’espace pour être! Le chemin jusqu’à la plage est pittoresque. La cuisine est magnifique et très propre. Mais les lieux manquaient d’amour et d’entretien. La piscine avait l’eau trouble, les assises autour étaient inconfortables, sales et durs. Le deck de yoga était brisé, dépeint, il manquait une marche (ça a été réparé à ma demande). La cuisine était moins bien équipée que j’aurais cru. Les environs de la maison étaient bruyants, avec la grand route et les voisins juste à côté. Mais c’est surtout que l’hôte ne répondait pas dans des délais pratiques. Je devais parfois attendre plus d’une journée pour un retour, y compris le jour de mon arrivée. Ce lieu pourrait être magique, la base est incroyable. Mais ça demanderait plus d’attention de la part des hôtes, un rafraîchissement global, plus d’entretien pour mériter plus que 3 étoiles.

Hi Kristia, thank you for your feedback and for staying with us. I sincerely apologize for the inconveniences you faced. I experienced significant issues logging into the Airbnb app on my phone during your stay, which impacted my ability to respond promptly. I completely understand how frustrating that must have been, and I’m truly sorry. Regarding the noise, it comes from the nearby road, which is unfortunately outside my control, but I’m working on solutions to enhance comfort for future guests. I’ve also taken note of your maintenance concerns and am actively addressing them to ensure a better experience. I appreciate your honest feedback—it helps me improve as a host. I hope we can welcome you back for a much smoother stay in the future!

A very comfortable and fun stay. The house is well equipped (cookware, shampoo, etc.) and the spaces are spacious and great for quality time. The pool area is spacious and comfortable and the hike to the beach is very fast. We loved it, thank you so much :)

Una estadía muy cómoda y divertida. La casa está bien equipada (utensilios de cocina, shampoo, etc.) y los espacios son amplios y excelentes para pasar tiempo de calidad. El área de piscina es amplia y cómoda y la caminata a la playa es muy rápida. Nos encantó, muchas gracias :)

We saw an anteater, sloth, and many birds from the beautiful deck. Easy walk to the beach and we saw a boa constructor in the forest nearby! Pool was great for the kids and it was great to have two tables we could fit our entire group of 10.

We had a great visit at Armando's place. We were in the jungle and a very short walk to the beach. We could hear and monkeys during the day. We saw a sloth right next to the pool. There were adorable lizards in the house that ate bugs. The outside area at the house was covered so we could sit outside rain or shine. The beach was relaxing and we saw lots of crabs, beautiful plants, and birds on the short walk. It was the perfect place to spend an extended family thanksgiving break. There were small delicious restaurants very close and Puerto Viejo was a 10 minute drive away. Thank you for an amazing stay! We had a great time.

This place provides a unique and authentic local experience. Great for groups. The space outside is covered and perfect for breakfasts, chilling and howler monkey watching. Pool area separate from the main house a short distance away provides another excellent space to chill and enjoy your time here. We particularly appreciated how unbelievably close this place was to one of the best beaches in the area - Punta Uva. Literally a path from the property and a very short easy walk to this private and beautiful beach. A couple of reality comments - this place is like renting a cottage at the lake/beach. It’s in the jungle. Screens only, no windows so if you’re highly sensitive to security, this isn’t the place for you (although it’s gated and there are people on the property 24/7). It was warm when we were there. No A/C but effective fans. We enjoyed our stay and great value for the price. Just info to know what to expect.

Wonderful experience. Great location and the hosts are very attentive,  we were a group and will definitely be back.

Maravillosa experiencia. Ubicación excelente y los anfitriones muy atentos,  fuimos un grupo y repetiremos sin duda.

Armando very helpful and responds quickly to queries. The house is very well equipped. The super spacious and comfortable kitchen, the deck very spacious. I'll be back!

Armando muy servicial y responde rápido a las consultas. La casa está muy bien equipada. La cocina super amplia y cómoda, el deck muy espacioso. Volveré!

One of the best places we have stayed!! The house was spacious and perfect for our large group. We were able to watch monkeys in the trees while eating on the patio and our house was surrounded by a beautiful jungle landscape. The beds were so comfy and the pillows were amazing! The kitchen and bathrooms had everything we needed. We were happy about the short walk to the beach and a short drive into town.  The hosts were very responsive each time we needed to contact them and brought us anything we needed right away. We accidentally left a large amount of money and didn't realize it until we had already left. They could have easily said it wasn't there, but they were quick to find it for us and were completely honest and helpful and made sure we got it back right away. I can't say enough about the incredible hosts and the beautiful property. Anyone who stays here will be glad they did... We were and we will most definitely be back!!

This was a great place to stay for the week. The wildlife on the property was amazing to see. It was walking distance to the beach and a little store that sold everything you needed. Just far enough away from the bigger town that made the place quiet and relaxing.  The house was very nice and plenty of space.

We had a great stay at Reloj de arena. The place is beautiful, and very accurately described. The deck was the best since it provided a perfect gathering space and we got to see howling monkeys and many kinds of birds. It was a lot of fun! We were a family of 10 adults and 3 little children and the house allowed us to have a great stay and a lot of space for everyone. We like to cook together and the house had everything we needed. Also, Daniel was very helpful and quick with his responses. We would love to return!!

I went with my family and we really enjoyed it . I take very tidy and the house is very clean .

Fui con mi familia y disfrutamos mucho . Tomo muy ordenado y la casa muy limpia .

I think it looks much better in the photos, it needs an update, very expensive for what it is.

Wow is all I can really say. My group and I truly enjoyed our stay here!! What an amazing place! It’s literally in jungle/rainforest and it’s like you are living in a tree house! There are 6 rooms, 10 beds and about 8 bathrooms on the property. The pool is great, the bath to the beach is nice and it is in walking distance to a grocery store and a restaurant! You can hear all the wildlife and even get to see a few things. Fully stocked kitchen lots of places to gather as family and friends. Hosts responsive and amazing. No issues!

Our family of 14 had a great time here!! The location next to the beach was perfect, and we saw lots of wildlife just hanging out by the pool and back deck (howler monkeys, sloth, agouti). It was comfortable even for a big group, as each room was private and there was plenty of space to hang out. The temperature was always comfortable there (no ac needed) and it had hot water. Would absolutely recommend! Definitely rent a car however, as there isn’t too much to walk to (one restaurant and a corner store are close by).

Absolutely great get away house to stay. Thank you for keeping everything well in the house.

Excellent accommodation, you feel at home and at the same time within the jungle but everything is perfectly designed for you to have a pleasant time without hassle. Communication is great, super quick to respond and very helpful in everything we asked for. We were fascinated by how beautiful the house is, the super clean and tidy rooms, the super equipped kitchen so I give them 10/10 Thank you very much for everything

Excelente alojamiento, te sientes en casa y a la vez dentro de la selva pero todo está perfectamente pensado para que la pases agradable sin complicaciones. La comunicación es excelente, contestaba súper rápido y muy atentos en todo lo que les pedíamos. Quedamos fascinados con lo hermosa que está la casa, los cuartos súper limpios y ordenados, la cocina súper equipada así que les doy 10/10 Muchas gracias por todo

Great house, saw sloths almost every day. nice grill on deck, cooked fish caught and grocery's bought. Folks on property helpful and kept up with drinking water. on property saw sloths, monkey, Tucans. perfect for family of 7 that stayed. was worried no AC but fans worked great. spent majority of time on back porch and pool while at the house.

Wow wow wow . I can’t even begin to express my gratitude for this Airbnb . The space was immaculate, the layout amenities, PRIVACY and convenience really blew this place out of the water . Pictures don’t even do this place justice. It was truly a magical paradise. We held our family reunion here - the downstairs 4 bedrooms with each their own bathroom was incredible, the walk to the beach (one of the best at that , punta uva) was just incredible. We could not stop counting our blessings here. We were playing games and swimming into the we hours of the night and not once did we ever get told to quiet down , the space is so private and gated so we felt so safe and secure . I can’t even put into words how amazing the staff were , fresh gallons of water everyday and towels . Quick communication and the kindest people watch over the property. There is a dog who would roam on the property and he was so sweet and kept to himself whenever he would come on (maybe 1-2x we saw him randomly )

Armando is indeed a super host! Always responsive. His place well managed and ideal for a private stay with friends or family.

We are an extended family of 8 adults and 4 children. Plenty of room for all of us with 6 bedrooms, 6 bathrooms and a large deck to relax on, eat on and watch the monkeys in the treetops. Fantastic location - a 100 yard private path (where you will scare the sand crabs back into their holes) to the Punta Uva beach and sloth point. Right along the river; where you can kayak (3 places to rent kayaks or surfboards right at the beach) and see sloths, monkeys, turtles, blue morphos butterflies, iguanas and more. Very private and quiet until the howler monkeys wake you up at 4:45 each morning (no need for an alarm clock). Playa Punta Uva is a very gentle surf beach with a trail out to a point that has a surf tunnel. Playa Arrecife is a short walk that has bigger waves and a reef with snorkeling opportunities with fish. Big pool deck area (with shower and bath) next to a smaller refreshing pool. There is a great Argentinian restaurant (El Rincon Porteno) about 5 minutes away.

We had a great time at the Arena Clock House, everything was perfect.

Pasamos muy buen tiempo en la Casa Reloj de Arena, todo estuvo perfecto.

We had an amazing stay. The place is much bigger than it appears on the photographs. When we come back to this area we will stay here again. Really good value we thought. We didn’t have a car so relied on Tuk-tuk’s and taxis, though will get a car next time as much easier for supermarkets and days out

Wow! The location is amazing !!! It is such a great place!! The beauty of the beach in a jungle setting- so many creature encounters including sloths and monkeys. It is absolutely fantastic for multiple families and groups. We felt very safe and secure at this home, and of special note -my sister left her bag at a beach concert while we visited over Easter weekend and it was picked up by a local resident who contacted her recent contacts to get it returned back to us! A special mention to the young man who met us at bike rental shop down the road- Mini Super El Trueke- we are soooo grateful- THANK YOU sooo much for returning the purse!

Fantastic place to stay, highly recommended! It was already our second stay at the Reloj de Arena and we loved it this time too! Since the last time, some nice modernizations have been made, such as the kitchen furniture and the furniture on the terrace. Service and communication are perfect. The location is great. The terrace is fantastic and almost surrounded by jungle, you can hear and see many animals. There is a private walk to the beach. The house is simple and rustic, but has everything you need and is tastefully decorated. It is built in Caribbean style, no windows, just screens. That's why there are only fans. For our first stay this was not a problem for us but this time it was very hot, especially in the rooms without a ceiling fan and we would have liked air conditioning. But this March is just extremely hot too. We had a small issue that Armando solved very accommodatingly. Thank you so much! We will be back!

Traumhafte Unterkunft, sehr zu empfehlen! Es war bereits unser zweiter Aufenthalt im Reloj de Arena und es hat uns auch diesmal super gefallen! Seit dem letzten Mal wurden einige schöne Modernisierungen gemacht, wie zB die Küchenmöbel und die Möbel auf der Terrasse. Service und Kommunikation sind perfekt. Die Lage ist super. Die Terrasse ist traumhaft und quasi von Dschungel umgeben, man hört und sieht viele Tiere. Es gibt einen privaten Fußweg zum Strand. Das Haus ist einfach und rustikal, aber hat alles was man braucht und ist geschmackvoll eingerichtet. Es ist in karibischen Stil gebaut, keine Fenster, nur Fliegengitter. Deshalb gibt es nur Ventilatoren. Bei unserem ersten Aufenthalt war das kein Problem für uns, aber diesmal war es sehr heiß, vor allem in den Zimmern ohne Deckenventilator und wir hätten uns eine Klimaanlage gewünscht. Aber dieser März ist einfach auch extrem heiß. Wir hatten ein kleines Problem, das Armando sehr kulant gelöst hat. Vielen Dank! Wir kommen wieder!

We saw more wildlife in the garden ( monkeys, sloths , toucans , iguanas ) than we did with hikes in the two national parks nearby . The caretaker was readily available with replacing the drinking water . We appreciated the cleaner coming in every three days and changing the linens and towels . The little shop across the road was really handy for essentials . Overall a wonderful experience .

This is our second time staying here. It's an amazing property in an amazing location! So many animal encounters! We will be back again!

Our second year here and we were impressed with all the upgrades they made in just one year. There’s still more to upgrade (the jungle has a quick turn over rate with all things) but the hosts are exceptionally accommodating, kind and responsive! And the location is absolutely perfect if you’re looking for a private place right next to punta uva beach! We look forward to future visits.

La Casa Reloj de Arena is a house for 16 people, with a tastefully remodeled social area, immersed in the jungle of Puerto Viejo. It has three spacious and comfortable double bedrooms, although quite rustic. There are two more rustic rooms on a second floor outside the main body, which would need better maintenance and cleaning. On the property lives the caretaker Daniel, with his lady, Marta, who promptly respond to any requests and give a sense of security during the stay. The location is very good, 100 meters from the beach, in the final part of the beautiful Punta Uva, where the sea is quiet for swimming. The house is highly recommended for large groups.

La Casa Reloj de Arena es una casa para 16 personas, con una área social remodelada con buen gusto, inmersa en la selva de Puerto Viejo. Tiene tres habitaciones matrimoniales amplias y cómodas, aunque bastante rústicas. Existen otras dos habitaciones aun más rústicas en un segundo piso fuera del cuerpo principal, que necesitarían mejor mantenimiento y limpieza. En la propiedad vive el cuidador Daniel, con su señora, Marta, que atienden prontamente cualquier solicitud y dan un sentimiento de seguridad durante la estadía. La ubicación es muy buena, a 100 metros de la playa, en la parte final de la bellísima Punta Uva, donde el mar es tranquilo para nadar. La casa es muy recomendable para grupos grandes.

We had 8 adults and 5 children in our party. The home was in an amazing setting, very private and felt like we had our own jungle oasis. The home had a private path to a wonderful ocean/beach and the hosts were fabulous. We highly recommend the jaguar center and horse back riding! An adventure we won’t soon forget 🤩

We could not have asked for a better place. It suited our family of 15 perfectly! It was so peaceful, great location, had a lot of amenities, quick walk to a beautiful beach, kids LOVED the pool, a lot of opportunity to see wildlife (howler monkeys were extremely entertaining), and the staff were amazing. Armando and the others were extremely responsive, so kind, helpful, and just made it a very welcoming home. If I ever make it back to Costa Rica, this house would be my first choice.

Beautiful house, very roomy and cozy . Ideal for family time sharing.

Hermosa casa, muy amplia y acogedora . Ideal para compartir tiempo en familia .

Our group of 10 stayed here and there were enough beds for everyone to have their own. This place is right in the middle of the jungle and crawling with wildlife. We only stayed two nights and everyone was wishing we booked more time here.

Delighted with the house, Comfort and communication with the assistant and Armando!!! Very happy my family with our vacation ✨We will be back 👌🏼

Encantadas con la casa, Comodidad y comunicación con el asistente y Armando!!! Muy felices mi familia con nuestras vacaciones ✨ Volveremos 👌🏼

If you are looking for a house in the Caribbean, near the best beach, here it is. Armando's house is perfect for families or large groups, it has a modern and well-equipped kitchen, comfortable rooms, bathrooms for everyone (with hot water😉), and surrounded by lots of greenery which makes it very fresh. The location cannot be better, close to the beach de Punta Uva (the best in the area) and without needing to take a car to get there, a few meters walking and you are already there!!! We had the joy of seeing monkeys, sloths and even some morpho🦋. Armando was always very nice and timely. Definitely a place I'd like to go back to.

Si están buscando una casa en el caribe, cerca de la mejor playa, aquí es. La casa de Armando es perfecta para familias o grupos grandes, tiene una cocina moderna y muy equipada, cuartos cómodos, baños para todos (con agua caliente 😉), y rodeada de mucha vegetación lo que la hace muy fresca. La ubicación no puede ser mejor, cerca de la playa de punta uva (de las mejores de la zona) y sin necesidad de sacar carro para llegar, unos pocos metros caminando y ya estás ahí!!! Tuvimos la dicha de ver monos, perezosos y hasta algunas morpho 🦋. Armando siempre fue muy amable y oportuno. Definitivamente un lugar al que me gustaría regresar.

Spacious, cozy place,  special to share as a family, we all enjoyed quite a bit.

Lugar amplio, acogedor,  especial para compartir en familia, todos disfrutamos bastante.

Armando’s place was great and accurate to the pictures. The private trail leading to the beach is beautiful, the kitchen is fully equipped and there’s spacious areas to hold festivities with the whole family as we did. The house needs a few maintenance enhancements, but was overall a good place to stay.

The home is perfect for large groups. Same as photos. Excellent service from the person who takes care of the property. It doesn't have air conditioning, but the fans don't have a good time. The only downside was when we arrived to check in, previous guests hadn't left the property.

La casa es perfecta para grupos grandes. Igual a las fotos. Excelente atención por parte de la persona que cuida la propiedad. No tiene aire acondicionado, pero con los ventiladores se pasa bien. El único inconveniente fue cuando llegamos a hacer el check-in,  los huéspedes anteriores no se habían ido de la propiedad.

The home is beautifully situated in Punta Uva. Wonderful indoor/outdoor living. The folks who lived on the grounds were a great help when any issues came up. I'm the leader of a nonprofit and really wanted to impress my cohort with a space that was peaceful, spacious, clean, and near the beach - Armando's was exactly that! We were able to do yoga in the covered pagoda a few days and one day a sloth even hung out on the porch for a bit! So lovely.

The place is dreamy. Same as shown in the photos. The rooms and Cosina are perfectly equipped. Carlos is extremely kind and always willing to help. We will definitely be back! Thanks so much

El lugar es de ensueño. Igual a cómo lo muestra en la fotos. Los cuartos y Cosina perfectamente equipada. Carlos es sumamente amable y siempre dispuesto a ayudar. Definitivamente volveremos! Muchas gracias.

While the house is not quite at modern as some of the other's we have rented, the location on this large lot up against a river and the path on the property to the best beach in the area (punta uva) just minutes away is priceless. We've rented other homes in the area and the lots are often up against another that running saws or weed whacking at 8am/thru the day. Also, the house is really tucked into the jungle so we saw a ton of wildlife right from the living room, amazing time watching monkeys and birds. The house is spacious, the yoga deck is great (we hired a salsa teacher for our group there). Note the two bunk rooms are outside in the open air terrace so we weren't able to have the younger kids navigate the locks on that so kept older/tweens/teens up there. The beds downstairs are super comfortable, the hosts are very nice and the owner, Armando, was very quick to respond and checked in on our stay. Highly recommend this house!

Words cannot describe what the experience at this house meant for us. Not only did we have an incredible time with everyone and everything was taken care of, we completely fell in love with the location and this piece of heaven. Armando was sooooo helpful and responsible and Daniel always showed up whenever we missed something or needed some repairs. We were 11 and the place is perfectly designed to host so many people. The beach is suuuuper close and you have a direct access to it. We wished we would have used the pool area more. But the yoga shala is absolutely wonderful and can host up to 15 people at a time. We had many ceremonies and workshops there and felt safe and supported. I’m in awe of the energy of this place and how well the host took care of us. We would have wished to have some washing machines at the property but other than that, everything fell into place like magic.

Perfect location near the beach, house was just what we needed for our family trip.

Very well located, near the safest beach in the area. Especially for kids. Beautiful greenery and abundant surroundings in the surroundings. Spacious and special house for large groups.

Muy bien ubicada, cerca de la playa más segura de la zona. Especialmente para ir con niños. Hermosa la vegetación y abundantes en los alrededores. Casa amplia y especial para grupos grandes.

We had the pleasure of staying at Reloj de Arena. From the moment we arrived, we had a fantastic time. The house was a delightful, offering ample space for our large family. The part of the house we most enjoyed is the beautiful deck overlooking the forest. Each day brought exciting encounters with wildlife. We saw howler monkeys, parrots, hummingbirds, iguanas, and even a sloth just by sitting on the deck. Punta Uva beach is just a minute's walk away and the pool area is also beautiful and well-equipped. We had a couple of blackouts so we were pleasantly surprised that the house is equipped with a generator. It was a wonderful experience that we hope to repeat in the future. We cannot recommend this tropical paradise enough for anyone seeking a magical stay in the middle of the rainforest.

Went on an international trip with my best friends for my birthday and could not have asked for a better location. Would definitely recommend for a big group of people who value spending some time in paradise!

The house is very beautiful, special for large groups. My family and I had a great time. Thank you!

La casa es muy hermosa, especial para grupos grandes. Mi familia y yo la pasamos muy bien. Muchas gracias!

Excellent place, very welcoming,the location is very good and the host's service is excellent to enjoy as a family!!!!

Excelente lugar muy acogedor,la ubicación muy buena y la atención de los anfitriones a la altura excelente para disfrutar en familia!!!!

An outstanding place to stay! You have your own jungle paradise with the Punta Uva beach just a short, private walk away. Armando was an excellent and attentive host. Highly recommended!

The house is nice, comfortable, I went with my family to celebrate the birthday, we had a nice time. I 100% recommend the house, the location is excellent. Walking to Punta Uva beach, really a cozy environment. Many thanks.

La casa es linda, cómoda, fui con mi familia a celebrar el cumpleaños, la pasamos lindo. Recomiendo 100% la casa, la ubicación excelente. Caminando a la playa punta uva, realmente un entorno acogedor. Muchas gracias.

Amazing place to feel fully immersed in the costal vibe of Costa Rica. Our group of nine women (ages 9-70), had an incredible time. This home is fully in the jungle with easy access to a gorgeous, pristine beach with very few tourists. We loved the sleepy, cute town just minutes away with plenty of wonderful restaurants (we never had a bad meal), coffee & gelato shops, boutiques, surf shops, grocery stores and more. Highlights of the home include a large, new kitchen; many bathrooms including a private one for each room; a great, clean pool with a beautiful covered patio and additional bathrooms and of course the easy, whimsical walk on the forest path to the beach and river. The centerpiece of this home is a spacious deck that displays the jungle in all its glory like a huge piece of live artwork; our group spent hours staring out at the impressive flora, howler monkeys, colorful ground crabs, toucans, butterflies and thunderstorms. Friendly, helpful, responsive hosts!

Casa Rústica, with many good features, Daniel is always there to help, large and with many green areas, if you are the ones who like to sleep with nature around it is excellent place. However, the congos monkeys are quite noisy and disturb and can ruin sleeping nights if you are not used to it, there are fans on the side but it is quite hot and it may be necessary to handle them to full, the skies in the kitchen, table and rooms are low if you are a tall person you have to be careful not to lift your arms with fans, super equipped beautiful kitchen ideal for families with direct access to the beach a great plus, definitely a house with a lot of potential for vacationing is not perfect but if you go with large families it is excellent

Casa Rústica, con muchas buenas caracteristicas, Daniel siempre está para ayudar, grande y con muchas áreas verdes, si eres de los que les gusta dormir con la naturaleza alrededor es excelente lugar sin embargo los monos congos son bastantes ruidosos y perturban y pueden arruinar las noches de dormida si no estas acostumbrado, hay ventiladores por todo lado pero hace bastante calor y puede que sea necesario manejarlos a full, los cielos en la cocina, mesa y cuartos son bajos si eres una persona alta tienes que tener cuidado de no pegar los brazos al alzarlos con los ventiladores, cocina preciosa super equipada ideal para las familias con salida directa a la playa un gran plus, definitivamente una casa con mucho potencial para vacacionar no es perfecta pero si vas con familias numerosas es excelente

Thanks so much for the wonderful stay! The House and Costa Rica is fabulous!!

Merci tellement pour le merveilleux séjour passée ! La maison et le Costa Rica est fabuleux!!

A beautiful space for a large group. We felt safe, relaxed, and so excited to be spending time in this private space SO close to the beach, with our own private pathway there. It was clean and the landlord cleaned the space halfway through the week as well, making sure it’d be during a time we were out and about. Full kitchen, lots of space, beautiful bedrooms. I highly recommend.

Excellent location, thank you for the attention and assistance, the facilities are very nice and comfortable. We recommend it 100%. 👌❤️🦝

Excelente ubicación, gracias x la atencion y asistencia, las instalaciones muy bonitas y comodas. La recomendamos 100% 👌❤️🦝

Beautiful house. Very quiet, spacious, with very well organized spaces. An amazing place very close to everything. I hope to return soon. In love of the Caribbean

Hermosa casa. Muy tranquila, espaciosa, con espacios muy bien organizados. Un lugar increíble muy cerca de todo. Espero volver pronto. Enamorada del Caribe
