Spectacular Ocean View! - Casa Alegre - Villas for Rent in Uvita, Osa, Costa Rica

We really enjoyed our stay at Loretta's place. The views is fantastic and the villa feels like a little oasis to relax. Each morning and evening we were visited by a toucan. The beds are comfortable, the bathrooms clean and the kitchen well equipped. We would stay here again.

The view is incredible and super easy access to everything around Uvita.

Our stay at Casa Alegre was wonderful!The home had a peaceful setting and magnificent views, we enjoyed all of the numerous beaches and wonderful restaurants in Uvita.

We had a wonderful stay here as a family of 6. The climb up in the car was typical Costa Rica, with the car wheezing to make it given our heavy load. Opening the door to the property was like entering a different luxury realm. Absolutely stunning view with a pool from the movies. The property was pristine and beds very comfortable with lovely en-suites x 2. We had 3 fantastic days here re-charging and whale viewing etc. We saw more toucans/parrots here than in Corcovado. Each morning was a treat to take in the view, spot birds and swim. Shirley was super helpful. Highly recommended.

Loretta's house has an idyllic location offering a very extensive view of the ocean. Surrounded by lots of trees, you will get to see amazing birds and family of capuchins especially at sunset. It's very serene. The house is quite comfortable and has what you need. Highly recommended.

Amazing view and location. Also, the host was very responsive. We had an issue with one of the ac’s which was immediately resolved. The host even had a backup plan just in case the ac could not be fixed immediately! We are definitely returning!

Wow, such an amazing place!! The view from the pool was absolutely breathtaking!!!  We saw Toucans and even spotted a Crested Guan while taking a dip at dusk!!! And the sunsets cannot be beat!!  All in all it is a beautiful place with great access to everything. My only suggestion would be to consider how much time you will spend in the kitchen or front living area. There is no AC in that area and if you like to cook or spend time gathered in that area it gets very warm. Other than that, it was the perfect place. I strongly suggest anyone to check out The Bakery which is 10 minutes away for coffee and amazing bread and pastries!! Thank you again for the trip of a lifetime!!!

Dear Steve, Thank you so much for taking the time to provide a detailed review and for constructive feedback! So happy you had a great time. Thank you so much for the fan. We hope you consider staying with Vista Alegre Villas again in the future!

Loretta's place is beautiful. Shirley was the one I mainly communicated with and who checked us in. We stayed here during the Envision festival with 3 couples and a friend and had a great time. The house is spacious enough for all 7 of us not to feel crampy and to be able to move around the spacious kitchen and living room freely. There is also an amazing outdoor chill area and pool. We enjoyed our privacy and were grateful to have a peaceful spot outside of the festival craziness. We will definitely consider Loretta's place again for our next Uvita adventure! Also when we had issues with one of the showers (the water wasn't getting hot), Shirely immediately organized someone to fix it (which was very much appreciated). That's what I call a superhost!!

We decided to rent Loretta's house for the ocean view and pool and location. All did not disappoint. Sunsets while soaking in the pool were absolutely breathtaking. There is a view of the Whales Tail beach. Directions to the house were easy to follow. A 4x4 is not required since the steep parts are paved. Shirley,the local host, made check-in very easy. All rooms are spacious, and the attached bathrooms in the master and second bedrooms were bigger and nicer than expected. Kitchen was well appointed with a welcome bag of coffee, crackers, local salsa. Coffee filters provided. We asked for 2 additional pool lounge chairs which were delivered the day after check in. Location is perfect for Uvita, Quepos and Dominical daytrips. By far, our favorite tour was Cafe Don Emilio's coffee plantation tour. Beautiful drive up a steep country road. Our group of 2 couples highly recommends Lorettas house and would stay again.

The view was great, better than the pictures. The house is close to Uvita, which was nice. The house could use some upgrades, especially the kitchen, kitchen equipment and the furniture. The house feels more like a rental than a home. With some love and attention this could be a place that could be described als ‘fabulous’ instead of ‘nice’. Shirley was a great host, very hospitable, responsive and attentive.

Loretta's house is awesome. The view is magnificent ( the pics don't do it any justice). The location is great closely to everything. It's our 4th time in CR and Loretta's airbnb is one of the bets we stayed at. The pool is great. The house is great too. Only nice things to say about Loretta's place. Pura vida Loretta and Shirley!

Top dollars we paid for the view and the pool. The view was nice. Pool was nice for first 2 nights but then water level dropped below normal. That’s what this house is about view and infinity pool. We stayed 3 Airbb places which all has a pool during this trip. Compared to others services were essentially non-existent at this place. Other hosts had a caretaker come look after pool and garden and house every day. This one didn’t. (We paid half of price for others and they did have a view too! ) Once we notified the host and her associate the water level in the pool was low, the answer was no can’t fix it until tomorrow. But tomorrow we were leaving.. you ask if that’s worth what I paid for, the answer is no.

Great stay if you are looking for a place in Uvita! Wonderful location with breathtaking views and in the heart of local wildlife. We had monkey's, tucans, and much more just in the trees within view from the patio. The restaurant just up the hill is also great for a bite to eat and there are some nice spots just minutes away in town. We hope to go back!

Beautiful place. The host was very responsive and helped find a great guide for a tour to Manuel Antonio on a very short notice.

Breathtaking view, cozy home and very responsible host!!

Great place!! Just don’t forget your conditioner or decaf coffee if you need it! Had a great time.

It is the third time we have stayed at Loretta's properties and they have always been magnificent experiences.

Es la tercera vez que nos hospedamos en las propiedades de Loretta y siempre han sido magnificas experiencias.

Our group of three couples had a fabulous stay at Casa Alegre. The large and clean bungalow was perfect for our stay. We utilized the kitchen and BBQ to cook a few meals. Nothing can beat the view of the Pacific and famous Uvita Whales Tail from the large deck and infinity pool. We loved the location which was a short drive to Uvita for restaurants and groceries and only a bit longer to visit Dominical. Highly recommend a visit to Nauyaca Waterfall.

Such a beautiful space! My friends and I stayed here while attending Envision Festival and it was an absolute dream. The drive was only about 8 minutes to the venue. Markets and restaurants were right down the street. The views from the patio were breathtaking. We saw monkeys, toucans, lizards, and many other different species of birds right on the property. Perfect amount of seating inside and out. Pool was clean and refreshing. Kitchen was very well equipped for cooking meals at home. Would 100% stay here again. The only negative thing I would say is that the owner showed up unnanounced and was peaking in through our living room windows (the walls were windows) instead of knocking on the front door. We had no idea who he was so we had to call the co-host, Shirley, to confrim. I guess the wifi was being updated, so he had electrcians come in. Also, he mentioned that there were recent break ins and advised us to lock our valuables way. But we fortunately had no issues!

Our family of 4 loved our stay at this home. Hans and Stefanie were amazing hosts and happened to be staying next door. This house is simple but clean, straightforward, and perfect for a family of 4. The pool and view are amazing -- you can see the Uvita Beach Whale's Tail from the house and watch the tides go in and out.  We loved this house and would gladly come back or recommend to friends and family.

So happy you had a great time! Truly appreciate the positive review. Thank you so much! Everyone is welcome back anytime!

This place was amazing! I went on a trip with 3 other friends, and it was the perfect weekend getaway. Shirley was the most amazing host! She was extremely responsive, so welcoming, and helped us book great excursions. The pool and view are stunning, and it’s so nice that you can walk to the hotel restaurant for any meal. Uvita town is a short drive, where there are more great restaurants. Everything was great, and we’d love to visit again!

Superb location with amazing views. The host staff are very friendly and helpful. A very comfortable house in a quiet, safe neighborhood.

The view from the pool is just amazing.  Aside from sleeping, we spent most of our time while at the house enjoying the birds and views from the covered patio, the pool and the beautiful grounds.  Uvita was way less crowded than Quepos and San Manuel, but still had plenty of offerings.  It was a great trip to Costa Rica.  Olmer was also so helpful making sure that all our excursions were taken care of before we arrived.

Loretta is a lovely host with a lovely home in the quiet town of Uvita. The pool was amazing, and gave a fabulous view of Pacific sunsets as well as the Whale Tail beach that Uvita is known for. The neighborhood was quiet. That being said, the road up to the house is gravel and very steep. If you are not driving 4WD, don't stop at all; you will get stuck. We were there in the dry season. In the wet season, take Loretta's advice and get a 4WD. The house was modern and had great landscaping. There was a dishwasher which is rare I think, so that was a plus. We brought our own paper towels (we didn't see any) and laundry soap (there was laundry soap available, but we prefer our own brand). There was sugar in the fridge, but we couldn't find salt or pepper. Also, if you must have plastic wrap or aluminum foil or anything like that, make sure to bring your own. There were some pool toys and beach boogie boards which was a nice touch. Also, there were plenty of towels! I was bummed that the pictures weren't hung up, I gather there must have been some troubles having them up in the past. A few things that were mentioned in a previous rather negative review that I looked for and would like to refute: Loretta and her co-host were very prompt in answering questions and concerns, like scarily prompt. I wrote them a message and their handyman was at the gate 30 minutes later. The house was very clean and kept in good shape. There are ants and other insects inside, there are house geckos, this is Costa Rica, people! We learned quickly to keep almost all of our opened food in the fridge. The water temperature in the showers is fine. The stove doesn't smell when you cook. If we head out to Uvita again, we would definitely stay here!

The view and the layout of this house is absolutely epic. I have spent a lot of time in this area and just love this location. We were worried since this house didn’t have a lot of reviews yet so we asked to see the house prior and they were more than happy to show it off! I loved being here and are actually renting it again next week for when our family comes to town.
