Private-Oceanview Retreat - Villas for Rent in Osa, Provincia de Puntarenas, Costa Rica

My friends and I had the privilege to stay at Dawn’s property for a week. It is stunning, the house is clean, and feels like a true jungle retreat! We saw and heard the most incredible wildlife! Make sure to get your 4x4 car, and you will be set! Dawn is an amazing host, and is incredibly responsive. We felt supported by her the entire trip whether it was a question about the area or a recommendation! Would stay there again!

This place was absolutely stunning ! Perfect for my group of 6

Dawn’s house is beautifully located and is beautifully designed. We rented a decent car and really did not find the road up problematic at all. Jairo met us to guide us up which was really great. It is really close to all the amenities in town but not in the town -so it is really extremely peaceful, beautiful and private. We unfortunately contracted Dengue before getting to Uvita and so all of our time there was spent being pretty unwell and eventually hospitalized. Because of this we really felt that we missed out on enjoying the house and the beautiful location the restaurants the beaches etc to the fullest. Dawn was a lovely hostess who provided all the needed information and was extremely helpful, proactive and responsive. Thank you for having us!

Dawn's place is brilliant -- the most well-designed AirBnB I've ever stayed in and the most incredible location. The road up is not for the faint-hearted, but you realize soon it is worth the effort. The house is even better than the photos and the view and ambience is special. We could have spent the whole week never leaving the balcony and pool and it would have been a great trip. We woke in the morning to howler monkeys and birdsong and saw toucans, macaws, white-faced monkeys, coati, and scores of other birds while watching the sunset out over the ocean in the distance. Dawn was proactive and responsive with communication and arranged to help with anything we needed during the trip. I can't recommend it enough.

We've been to Costa Rica several times and have stayed at incredible places but this house takes the cake. The views are stunning. The road up to the house is a little tricky, and you absolutely need 4x4, but once you get the hang of it, it is great! Dawn was such a great host, very responsive, and I felt like her home was our home.  Uvita is a great little town as well. Lots of great restaurants, two grocery stores, a great bakery at the bottom of the hill and fantastic sushi at the bottom of the hill as well. We look forward to visiting again. Oh little side note, we did experience blackouts every single night but being that we have been to Costa Rica before we came prepared with a battery operated light. It was a life saver as the black outs scared our kids. Don't let that deter you from staying though, they have happened at every location we have stayed at.

What a true jungle experience in the rainforest with a beautiful hike down to the waterfalls. This house offers EVERYTHING you could ask for 👍🏻 the host Dawn and the caretakers of the property were so helpful and nearby if you ever needed anything. We felt so at home here at this house and wouldn’t hesitate a second to book it ❤️ can’t wait to go back again 🥰 Don’t know how Some other reviewers said 20 mins to get to the house from the street But it only took about 5 mins to go up and down. Wasn’t bad at all but you do need a 4x4 suv. Thanks again Dawn and Simon❤️

We had the best time in this house. 4x4 car required, we had to rent a smaller car than we had wanted but it was worth it to stay in this secluded house. The road is steep and was a little nerve wracking the first time we drove up to the house on a dark, rainy night. But we got used to it and thought the road added to the adventure. The house is modern and cool, we loved the aesthetic and the space. No tv in the house, which is mostly great to get unplugged, but since it got dark so early, we would have enjoyed watching a movie together as a family. But there were some card games there that we had fun playing together. We loved feeling completely alone in the jungle! Dawn and the property manager Jairo were very attentive and helpful and always responded to our questions quickly.

Wow! What a beautiful house with the most stunning view.  Loved the local area too. Perfectly clean, great communication and super easy.  Follow Dawn's instructions about getting the right car - the drive up to the property is very steep and needs a 4x4 - we rented a Toyota Rav4 4WD and it was still a little under powered for the road.  But, the drive up does not take long and you are rewarded with a picture-perfect panorama. We'd stay here again!

We had a great time at MER. Dawn was very clear and communicative, check in was easy with Jairo’s help. Any questions were quickly answered. The house is set in the rainforest and we regularly saw toucans, morpho butterflies and heard howler monkeys. The nature sounds of insects and frogs are so prominent in the evenings you can tell you are in a healthy eco system! The bunk room is great fun for kids and there are some games and puzzles in the living area  :) being up on the hill is great for cooling breezes and the driveway is very steep so you 100% need a 4x4 to enter and exit the property. There was a lengthy power cut while we were there (nothing to do with MER, due to a storm) so I’d recommend a power bank to charge phones etc when travelling CR as it’s a problem we’ve encountered whilst travelling all over the country.

Highly recommended. What an amazing view and very clean home with all the amenities you need. We loved the mountain breeze and the how quiet and private it was. Private waterfall, swimming pool and comfy beds. Great communication with Dawn and Jairo. No kidding though…you need a 4wd.

Dawn place is a little paradise. The view, the simplicity of being in the jungle. She sent beyond and above to host us. We were there for Christmas with our 2 kids and our parents and it was perfect. Thank you Dawn!

Great communication with Dawn and great house in Uvita! We stayed there for 6 nights and had a blast. Our kids loved the bunk beds and the pool. Even though the pool is small, it is deep (5-6 feet deep). So our kids would jump off the side and could do plenty of swimming/diving. The waterfall is amazing and watching the thunderstorms from the house was fantastic. We saw Monkeys and Coatis from the balconies. All in all the house was perfect. As others have said, you need 4WD. I drive a lot on steep roads in California, and questioned if I really needed it, but you definitely do. These roads are very steep; make sure you have 4WD.

This place is a great cottage in Costa Rica.  It’s about 10 mins off the main road and some steep driving at that.  That being said once you arrive the views are fantastic. It was a great place to unplug and relax. Dawn was a great host.

Dawn the owner was a fantastic host! The property was incredible. So close to the Uvita Waterfall and incredible restaurants. The home itself really is your own jungle oasis. You won’t be disappointed but be sure to rent a 4x4:)

Dawn’s house is a great oasis, complete with all the comforts of home and then some! The road leading up to the house, while adventurous, was typical of Costa Rican backroads and within our expectations. The house itself is modern, very clean, and extremely well-equipped. There was not a single utensil or appliance that was missed. We did quite a bit of cooking ourselves, so it was great to have everything we needed to make an easy meal. This included the outdoor grill, blender, a rice cooker (which we used the steam basket for veggies every day), etc. WiFi connection was excellent as both my husband and I unfortunately had to do some work during our trip. Power was reliable outside of the occasional power blip, which we have come to expect as normal in CR. Despite the lack of AC, we didn’t miss it much as the mountain breeze does a great job of cooling the house in the evenings. When we got a little hot during the day, the plunge pool was a perfect way to cool off and take in the views! A big thanks to Dawn and her team for giving us the opportunity to stay in such a beautiful place. PURA VIDA!

Thanks so much for your lovely comments, Nancy. I hope that your husband enjoyed waking up every morning to the lovely ocean view of the Marina Ballena Nacional Park. Hope to have you back in the future. Ciao

We came to Dawn’s place after our first AirBnB didn’t work out and from the moment we arrived, we felt at home. The view over raw jungle all the way to the ocean from the balconies is spectacular. With balconies, lawn and a pool all around the house with epic views, it’s exactly the type of place you want to be when in Costa Rica. Toucans and many birds are constantly saying hello, you can hear the howler monkeys up in the jungle above. Besides nature’s friends, there is complete privacy all around so feel at one with nature without distractions. It’s hard to find fault with the place but if we were to try, the drive can be a bit steep so you definitely need a 4x4, after the first time up it got a bit fun but not for the faint of heart. There is no AC but the place was built to passively cool and does so nicely. There are a few moments midday when it can get a bit warm but always a beautiful pool to cool off in. The place comes equip with everything you could need and we stayed home and cooked many nights and felt right at home. Highly recommend this place and know we will be back here sometime soon.

Wow! Thank you so much for the amazingly detailed review! It was love at first sight when I first visited the property before we built the homes and remains so everytime we are fortunate to visit. We are humbled to share it with people that appreciate the same aspects of Costa Rica that are dear to us. We would love to have you guys back at anytime. Pura Vida Ciao Dawn

Great place to stay in Uvita. Beautiful view. We stayed for a month with our four boys and they learned so much being in the rainforest. They have a really cool swimming hole on the property as well as at the bottom of the mountain with waterfalls. Dawn was very responsive and made sure we had everything we needed. There isn’t AC, which K was nervous about at first, but you don’t need it being that far up in the mountains. We would highly recommend the stay if you want to venture off the beaten path in CR.

The house is really great, better than in the pictures. We did hesitate before booking because of the missing AC but you clearly don’t need it ! The house is made in a way that the air circulates really well and we needed the blanket at night ! You’re in the middle of the jungle with so much wildlife, the view, the storms, the sun, the pool, everything was perfect ! Dawn was very helpful and responsive, the property managers are nearby and always available. Great great experience, we will be back !

Perfect location. Perfect house. Will definately come back

Beautiful, peaceful property with jungle and ocean views. Very relaxing! And quick to get into town.

The house was beautiful. Completely in line with the photos. We were greeted at our arrival and everything was perfect. The view from the house is exceptional as is its location. In the middle of the jungle with lots of birds. We heard the howler monkeys and we even saw a coati. We had a fear for the high beds and Dawn placed protections to reassure us. That was very kind of him. We came to 6 : 2 adults and 4 children. The house was perfect for family trip. Close to the center of Uvita and shops/restaurants. The house has everything you need in terms of dishes or appliances as well as bath towels and swimming pool. Thank you for renting and hosting. Everything was perfect.

La maison était magnifique. Tout à fait conforme aux photos. Nous avons été accueillis à notre arrivée et tout a été parfait. La vue de la maison est exceptionnelle tout comme son emplacement. Au cœur de la jungle avec plein d’oiseaux. Nous avons entendu les singes hurleur et nous avons même vu un coati. Nous avions une crainte pour les lits en hauteur et Dawn a fait placer des protections pour nous rassurer. C’était très gentil de sa part. Nous sommes venus à 6 : 2 adultes et 4 enfants. La maison était parfaite pour un voyage en famille. Près du centre d’Uvita et de magasins/restaurants. La maison dispose de tout ce qu’il faut au niveau vaisselle ou électroménager ainsi que de serviette de bain et de piscine. Merci pour la location et l’accueil. Tout était parfait.

We absolutely loved this house! I think I have to buy a house in Uvita now. We had an awesome time and Tom and Christine (property managers) were the best! They were super helpful with advice on fun stuff to do, what to avoid, good restaurants, etc. The help and advice from Tom and Christine is a top feature for renting this house. Views from the house were incredible and the drive into Uvita is less than 10 mins. The house has everything you need and the pool is awesome. You will need 4wd to get up the driveway. Uvita is a great town, not super touristy, safe, and there is tons of stuff to do all within a 30-45 minute drive (Dominical, Ojochal, waterfalls, good restaurants). We will definitely be back.

Incredible place. Highly recommended. Don't let the lack of AC turn you off – the house is perfectly positioned to catch the little breeze and cool it down. Animals everywhere, from awesome bug sounds to beautiful toucans, macaws, and monkey families. Surprisingly, the photos don't actually do the place justice – we found it better, more beautiful, and luxurious than we expected. Our only mistake was to come to this place first on our CR trip. Even the 5-star hotels didn't feel like much after the experience.

Wow! Thank you so much for your kind words, Mikko! I’m currently here for two weeks myself and the breezes every night have been such that I’ve used my quilt when it felt a bit chilly. When we were searching for a property, we chose the mountain location especially for the breezes compared to lower down valley. We also took alot of time deciding regarding ventilation for coolness without needing air conditioning as well as to combat humidity which can become an issue down. I’ve stayed myself in almost every month of the year at different times and have always been comfortable. The house as you mention, offers a great vantage point for viewing a number of animal species, especially birds. I got here Sunday and I’ve barely left, I just love the peace and natural setting the property offers. Thanks again, I’m so happy you enjoyed yourselves Pura Vida

The check-in and check-out process is super simple! We loved the view of the ocean while being surrounded by all the rainforest has to offer. If you're coming to Uvita, do not pass up this home! Dawn and her team are incredible easy to work with and make your vacation easy!

Dawn’s home is absolutely beautiful. We highly recommend it. The layout was perfect for our family and the views are amazing! The secure screen doors allow you to always hear the birds and monkeys without worrying about bugs. As the other reviews mention, the drive up is exciting - definitely need a powerful SUV. Also, Tom was excellent with providing recommendations and getting us settled. We also really appreciated the help with booking excursions. The sunset horseback riding and surfing lessons were both amazing. Overall, an amazing family experience. It was ended with an up close visit by a howler monkey!

We loved our stay at Morpho Eco Retreat. The view, the porch, the pool, and really comfortable bedrooms. The space is stylish and comfortable and we enjoyed the pool at night under the moon and watching toucans in the trees in the morning. The fans and breezes made the temperature perfect anytime of day and you can literally lay in bed and look at the stars. I appreciated how detail oriented and responsive Tom and Christine (property managers) were -- both ahead of time and during our visit. We used their recommendations for everything from car rental to restaurants to tours and it all worked out perfectly. I did not have to contact them during our stay but I was certain they would respond immediately. The home is interesting and beautiful and made for a lovely stay in Uvita.

Dawn’s home was beyond all expectations!! The views were breathtaking, heaven on earth. The home was immaculate and we were very comfortable during our entire stay. As other reviewers have stated the drive up to the home is quite an adventure and not for the faint of heart. We tried our best to get home before dark, because it was a lot easier to navigate. As a host, Dawn went above and beyond to insure we had everything we needed. She also answered every email quickly and with much detail. She was vital in pointing us to the best restaurants, attraction sites, and tours. We definitely would have been lost without her guidance. We will miss the gorgeous views from your terrace, but we will always have the unforgettable memories our family made during our stay in Uvita. Thank you for everything ~ Pura Vida 😊

Thank you so much for your kind words and description of the home and the surrounding area. We fell in love with the Uvita area for all of the reasons you mention above. We continue to come back each year, fortunately spending around 2 months at the property. I’m always trying my best to improve the experience for guests and all input is valuable in assisting me with this! Pura Vida

This house is an absolutely beautiful house and we had an amazing time staying here. It was a perfect spot located in the middle of the jungle while still being fairly close to the beach. The house provided many amenities that we utilized throughout the trip whether it was the infinity pool, the huge balcony that provides stunning views and especially the waterfall that was a short walk away. I can’t say enough about this house and I would 100% recommend to others. Tom provided answers to any questions we had and was more than accommodating to anything else we needed. I am anxious to visit Costa Rica again and this house was one of the best parts of the trip, thank you for everything!

The villa is gorgeous, exactly as described. The view is simply amazing, very close to Uvita, many nice beaches around. Recommended.

This house is perfect setting for an amazing vacation!!!

I'm so happy that everything worked out for your family during your stay! We've been working with the team from Jaguar for three years now and they are great! Jairo and Francine (our caretakers) have been with us for five years now and we think of them as family, they are truly priceless. I'm biased when it comes to the house and property, it is my baby. I'm looking forward to my visit in three weeks, I can't wait! I don't know if I've ever had the pleasure of meeting Karen, I believe of the Animal Sanctuary at Villas Alturas? That is one of our favorite places to visit, they do an amazing job. Thanks again for choosing us for your vacation. I'm always thrilled when people have a memorable trip to Costa Rica and that our home fits into this experience!! Pura Vida Ciao Dawn

I am sure that most people are a little apprehensive when looking at places to stay on Airbnb.  However, this property is exactly how it is described, and I would say even better!!!  This location in Costa Rica is one of our favorites, and this house compliments the area.  Nestled in the rain forest, tucked away, very safe, very private.  This place has all the sites, sounds that you can imagine in the rain forest.  It overlooks the Pacific Ocean and at it's elevation, it is nice and cool.  A 4x4 vehicle is a must.  The management team is excellent, responsive and courteous.  The owner will spend time talking to you about the property and the area, she is a wealth of knowledge.  This property is magnificent!! 

Wow what a place! We spent 17 nights travelling around Costa Rica and this was our favourite. The incredible views you could stare at all day, the light, airy and stunning space, the immersive sounds of the jungle, access to some truly amazing beaches and ocean trips, great restaurants of all types, and within easy reach of Corcovado and Manuel Antonio parks. Need we say more? Oh and Dawn is a super host, very quick and plentiful communication both before the trip and during with any questions. Thanks for sharing your beautiful house, we’ll be back!

Janey and family, Thanks so much for your kind words and helpful insites into how we can improve the experience for future guests! Your description of the surrounding areas' offerings as well as compliments about some of our favorite things about the house itself, are amongst the reasons we fell in love with this part of Costa Rica. Safe travels and we look forward to your consideration for future visits! Pura Vida Dawn

Eco Morpho Retreat only deserves superlatives—an amazing home with a spectacular view of Whale’s Tail, beautiful grounds, the most comfortable beds, an incredible porch, and a refreshing pool. The property has a waterfall too! Dawn is a great host, and the local property managers were so friendly and helpful with restaurant and activity recommendations as well.  Our stay could not have been better.

Hi Leslie! Thank you so much for your kind words about your experience! We share all of your obsrvations but then again we are biased, the property holds a special place in our hearts! We are truly able to unplug when we visit due to the comfort of the home and the beautiful, natural surroundings. I'm so happy your family enjoyed themselves! Pura Vida Dawn

Our experience with Dawn and her beautiful home exceeded our expectations. Dawns excellent communication makes her the best host we have worked with yet! Absolutely stunning views and a lovely home. We truly felt that we were surrounded by the jungle and it was magical! The driveway is not to be taken lightly but Dawn put us in touch with the car company that she uses so we had an appropriate car to navigate the driveway safely and comfortably. The infinity pool and hiking to the waterfall among the highlights of our trip.  We would love to return soon!

We spent five amazing days in Dawns house. We highly recommend this jungle gem privately situated on a hill top with amazing views of the Pacific. Our kids loved the pool and the bunk beds, and we spent every afternoon watching the sunset from the terrasse. One of our top spots during our month in Costa Rica. 

Thank you for sharing your experience with me, Kristian! I'm so happy to hear that your family enjoyed the property. The pool has been a lovely addition for cooling off. The bunkroom is always a hit with kids and adults alike! I myself could sit and gaze at that view from dawn to dusk! Safe travels..... Pura Vida

Our family had a wonderful time at Dawn’s place- so beautiful and relaxing!

Thank you so much for your kind words, Jeremy! I'm thrilled that your family enjoyed our special home-away. We love it for the relaxing vibes as well! Pura Vida Dawn

Dawn is a fantastic host and her place was even nicer and more spacious than the photos suggested! We loved her "as much or as little interaction" philosophy and happily took her up on the offer to hike to Nauyaca waterfall together. Dawn was attentive and pleasant and generous with her time. We loved staying in the jungle with the one caveat -the road is not for the faint of heart, but by the middle of our trip we were fearless jungle mountain road drivers, enjoying the sounds of the birds & monkeys! I would wholeheartedly recommend Dawn and the Morpho Eco-retreat to all Costa Rica adventurers!

Dawn's place was incredible. The description and photos don't do it justice! Dawn is a fantastic host and her communication levels & style were off the chart. The check in process went very smooth and throughout our entire trip, we felt comfortable and cared for. The description mentioned the drive there - take this seriously and get a good 4x4 vehicle. We didn't have any problems with the road (or feel unsafe) but it does require some attention! The home's finishes were great. The waterfall on the property was a highlight and should absolutely be explored. The area offers some great destinations and attractions. From the porch, we heard & saw monkeys, tons of birds, an iguana, every color of butterflies; we even saw a sloth on the main road to the house. I definitely recommend Dawn & her Eco Retreat! Dawn, thanks for all you did to ensure we had a great stay.

Everything was done to give us the best possible experience in Costa Rica. Dawn made us feel very welcome in her house and gave us tons of valuable tips to make our stay in Uvita as easy as possible

Thanks so much for your lovely review, Nicolas and Michelle! We fell in love with the land for the peace and serenity it offered. When we were designing the house, bringing the connection to nature into the design was an important element. I had so much fun choosing materials that would bring to life all of the custom furninshings that were built on-site during construction, and continue with every trip to add decorative pieces that inspire me, the property is truly my "baby", a reflection of my personal tastes today! We are thrilled that you and your family enjoyed their stay and are now inspired to return to Costa Rica, a beautiful country that has so much to offer! Pura Vida Dawn

If you are planning a visit to Uvita this is the place to stay! Because of the location, the view is breathtaking and perfectly situatated for cool breezes and watching nature. The driveway is very steep and may be a little off-putting your first trip up and down but with 4-wheel drive low you will have no problem. After the first time it's a breeze with nice pavement in the steepest section.   The layout is open and airy with a big bunk room comfortable for adults or children and a lovely master suite. Both have attached full bathes with everything you need. The pool is small but perfectly situated to cool off and take in your beautiful views of the whale tail and picture perfect sunsets. Be prepared to see monkeys, macaws and all the unique Costa Rican wildlife.   Dawn was a wonderful communicator and connected me to her management company that met us and let us in the 1st day. She is prompt to respond to any needs and there is a quiet caretaker and his wife that are on the property just a ways down the driveway. Don't worry, the home is completely private with the reassurance of someone close by if needed.   The falls on the property are my favorite ones of all the ones we visited while in Costa Rica,so don't miss out, make sure to spend time swimming or just chilling at the falls.

Thank you for your suggestions, Mary. This part of the review process is a great help to us, allowing us to always improve on the experience. When I'm down this next time, I will be looking into extra outdoor furniture for all. I'm sorry to hear about the towel issue, my housekeeper is always informed of the number of guests and should be setting the house up accordingly, i.e.: enough towels for each guest listed on the rental with an exchange during the week. I will be sure to remind her again. I will also take a look myself at the drawer organization. I imagine with each new set of guests things get moved around slightly. Thanks again and I'm thrilled that you enjoyed your time in Costa Rica. Pura Vida Dawn

My family had a fantastic trip to Uvita, we will definitely be returning! The Eco retreat is in a spectacular location and beautifully designed. The views are amazing, and can be enjoyed from anywhere in the house, inside and out. We had a toddler with us so remained inside when he was awake as the balcony is quite open, but it still felt like we were part of nature because of the floor to ceiling windows and sounds of the birds and insects. We could even watch humming birds right outsidethe window! Dawn was really helpful and knowledgeable (follow her advice about the 4x4) as we're the property managers. Uvita is a lovely little town with great places to eat and drink (ice cream and coffee were particular favourites) and the local scenery is beautiful. Thanks for a great holiday Dawn!

Thank you for your kind words, Sam! I'm happy you in enjoyed your time in the area! I'm following up with the staff on your suggestions/ comments. As you mention, not being in the country myself, a good, reliable support team is of the utmost importance and we are always trying to improve the experience! Safe travels, and good luck with your search!

We spent an incredible week here, and I cannot recommend it enough. We woke up to the sounds of the jungle and spent the early mornings sipping coffee on the balcony, enjoying one of the best views in Uvita. The house is gorgeous and comfortable. And the private waterfall was the perfect spot for a refreshing swim after a hot day at the many nearby beaches. The property management and caretakers were friendly and helpful. We were sorry to have to leave. 

Thank you so much for the lovely review, Julie! We fell in love with the area of Uvita almost 6 years ago and chose it to build our vacation villa and future retirement property. All of the things you mentioned are just some of the special qualities that have reserved a special place in my heart for my home away! We go there to unplug and always hope that our guests can experience what we do. From your kind words, it sounds as if you did. We are so lucky to work with Jaguar Property Management and our caretakers, Jairo & Francini, they ensure for us that everything goes smoothly in our absence.I'm so happy you had a wonderful, first experience in Costa Rica, it truly is a magical place! Oura Vida Dawn

My family and i had a wonderful time in Uvita. The house is beautiful and the views are amazing. Dawn was very insightfull, she provided tons of information and was there for us at anytime to answer any questions or concerns.I  Love this place and hope to come back soon.

Thank you for your kind words, Javier! I'm so happy that you and your family enjoyed staying at the property. I love sharing my favorite places (restaurants, activities, etc...) with guests, any advice I can add is always a pleasure for me. I'm truly passionate about the country, area, and my home away! Pura Vida Dawn

This house was well thought out. It's true tropical living with a eye for unique & interesting design elements.   The view was magical both during the day and at night. The grounds are rather private and utterly teaming with flora and fauna.   Dawn is an excellent host, she is kind, sweet and communicates well. If you've looking for a quality modern tropical vacation rental in the area your search is over.

Thank you so much for your kind compliments about our much-loved home away in Costa Rica, Ryan. We're happy that you enjoyed yourselves and had an appreciation similar to ours of the property and it's surroundings. When we decided to offer the house for the pleasure of guests to share with us, our hopes were to appeal to like minded guests that would understand our vision. I'd say we hit it right with you and your lovely family! Pura Vida Dawn

I had great experience staying  at Dawns place in Uvita. The house is located on a secluded hill right in the jungle,  with amazing 360 views and a great very accessible water fall and swimming hole to enjoy and relax in. The house was very clean, modern, and spacious and working internet. It was a short drive to beautiful beaches, surf and other water activities. The town also offered many resturants to choose from and locals were all very nice. Dawn and the management personal were very easy to communicate with and offered many recommendations to enjoy in the area. All in all, it was another great airbnb stay, and hope to be back soon. I highly recommend the host and property to others in the airbnb community.
