The villa was really amazing. In a private setting. Excellent bedding. Frankly, no complaints. Thank you to Simone and Vlad (recommended by the host) for everything they did for us. We recommend them +++ Simone as a guide for an outing to Caño Island or Corcovado (and much more) and Vlad, an outstanding cook.

Fantastic home overlooking the ocean in Uvita! We absolutely loved our stay and couldn’t have asked for a better place for a large group. Every room was spacious, comfortable, and thoughtfully designed. The pool was incredible, offering the most breathtaking views—we spent hours relaxing and taking it all in. Uvita itself was an unspoiled paradise and quickly became one of our favorite places in Costa Rica. We followed some of Whit’s recommendations, including dinner at La Parcela, and it was an amazing experience. The food was excellent, and having monkeys visit during our meal was an unforgettable highlight! Overall, I highly recommend both Uvita, Costa Rica, and staying at Whit’s beautiful home. We would absolutely love to come back!

Cielo Azul is a beautiful property! It feels remote but centrally located to lots of great beaches, restaurants and activities. The scenery and views are spectacular, the amenities met all of needs and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay! Simone, the concierge, was wonderful! She made our trip so enjoyable and was so easy to work with. Chef Vlad (and his assistants!) came twice during our stay and cooked us wonderful meals! It was cheaper than eating out and it was great to relax and enjoy time together without the hassle of going out. The people of Uvita are wonderful and made it a very memorable experience. The guidebooks on restaurants were super helpful and we had some wonderful dinners (definitely try Los Laureles, La parcela and scala)! If you’re looking for a beautiful adventure I would highly recommend!

Absolutely beautiful! Every detail of this home has been thoughtfully considered, and the attention to detail is truly exceptional. The property is stunning, comfortable, and impeccably maintained. We especially appreciated all the little extras that made our stay easier and more enjoyable, even something as simple as having a dedicated dryer on the main level for pool towels showed how much care went into the guest experience. Whit was an outstanding host- responsive, attentive, and genuinely committed to providing top-notch hospitality. Communication was quick and seamless from start to finish. This home exceeded our expectations in every way. Don’t hesitate- book it!

We had an excellent stay and would highly recommend this home. Our family of 11 gathered here to celebrate my parents' 50th wedding anniversary, and the house was perfect for our group. There was plenty of space for everyone, the home was beautiful, and the pool was a favorite for both the kids and adults alike. Whit was an outstanding host. On the few occasions we needed assistance, he was responsive, accommodating, and quick to help. The absolute highlight of our trip was hiring Chef Vlad. Every meal was fantastic, fresh, and healthy—even the younger kids loved his cooking! Not having to worry about meal planning, grocery shopping, cooking, or cleanup allowed us to fully relax and enjoy our time together as a family. If you're considering hiring him, do it—you won't regret it. Thank you, Whit, for helping make our family's celebration so memorable! We would absolutely stay here again....and again...

Whit's home was stunning and such a joy to stay in. Definitely the most beautiful pool we've ever been in! Air conditioning in every room and easy to cool off in the pool. Whit meets you at the bottom of the hill leading up to the house to make sure you find it and then gives you a tour of the house. The tour was a nice touch, although perhaps a bit long for the younger kids in our group. 😂 The place is a short drive to the beaches and cute little restaurants in Uvita. We loved the house and Uvita and would love to come back!

Whit’s villa is spectacular! It is extremely clean, has every amenity you can dream of and is a great space for large families and friends to gather and make memories. The beds are super comfortable, each bedroom has an en-suite and half baths are available on each level. The game room is a huge bonus and a great space for kids and adults. The pool, BBQ area and sunken lounge were such special and unique places to spend time together. We were able to see toucans, scarlet macaws and hear the beautiful sounds of nature. The kitchen is commercial grade. Every tool you can imagine is provided and is top of the line. Whit provides detailed information about the villa and the local communities that were extremely helpful and added a lot of value. One of our faves was his dining guide with detailed info and helpful tips. It really made our dining experiences more wonderful! Our concierge, Simone, was the BEST! She’s passionate about making your time soexial experiences
