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.

La villa était vraiment incroyable. Dans un cadre privé. Literie au top. Franchement rien a redire. Merci à Simone et Vlad (proposé par l’hôte) pour tout ce qu’ils ont fait pour nous. Nous vous les recommandons +++ Simone comme guide pour une sortie a l’ile Caño ou encore le Corcovado (et bien plus) et Vlad, un cuisinier hors pairs.

Thank you so much for the wonderful 5-star review! We’re delighted that you enjoyed Cielo Azul, especially the privacy, comfort, and bedding. I’m also very happy to hear that Simone and Vlad helped make your stay so memorable. Simone is an exceptional guide with an incredible knowledge of the area, and Vlad continues to impress our guests with his outstanding cooking. We feel very fortunate to have them as part of the Cielo Azul experience. Thank you for recommending them—and Cielo Azul—so highly. We truly enjoyed hosting you and hope to welcome you back to Costa Rica someday! Whit

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!

Thank you so much for the wonderful 5-star review! It was truly a pleasure having your group stay at Cielo Azul. I’m so glad you enjoyed the villa, the spacious bedrooms, and especially the pool and those incredible ocean views! One of the things I love most about hosting is helping guests experience what makes Uvita and the Southern Pacific Coast so special. La Parcela is always one of my favorite recommendations—and having the monkeys show up for dinner makes it even better! Thank you again for choosing Cielo Azul for your Costa Rica vacation. You were wonderful guests, and I would absolutely love to welcome you back to Uvita someday! Pura Vida! Whit

Very nice home. We had a family gathering and the house was perfect. Great view, great kitchen and beds were very comfortable

Thank you so much for your wonderful 5-star review! We're delighted that Cielo Azul Villa was the perfect setting for your family gathering. We're especially pleased that you enjoyed the fully stocked gourmet kitchen. We designed it to have everything needed to prepare anything from a quick breakfast to a large family feast, so it's always rewarding to hear that guests were able to make the most of it.

It was truly our pleasure to host your family, and we hope the memories you created together will last for years to come. We would be honored to welcome you back for another stay whenever your travels bring you to Costa Rica. Warm regards, Whit Owner/Manager Cielo Azul Villa

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!

Thank you so much for your wonderful review. We are delighted that Cielo Azul exceeded your expectations and that you noticed many of the thoughtful details throughout the villa. We believe it's often the small touches that make a stay more comfortable, so it means a lot to hear that features like the dedicated pool towel dryer and other guest conveniences enhanced your experience. It was a pleasure hosting your group. Thank you for your kind words about my communication and hospitality. Our entire team, including Luis, Ana, and Rony, works hard to ensure every guest has an exceptional experience from arrival to departure. We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you back to Cielo Azul for another unforgettable stay in Costa Rica. Warm regards, Whitney Ryan Owner & Host, Cielo Azul Villa 🌴☀️

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...

Thank you for such a wonderful review and for choosing Cielo Azul Villa to celebrate such a special milestone—your parents' 50th wedding anniversary! It was a pleasure hosting your family, and I'm delighted that the villa provided the perfect setting for everyone to relax, reconnect, and create lasting memories together. I'm especially happy to hear that the pool was enjoyed by both the kids and adults, and that Chef Vlad helped make the experience even more memorable. He takes great pride in preparing fresh, delicious meals, and I'll be sure to share your kind words with him. Thank you as well for your comments about my hosting. It was my pleasure to assist whenever needed, and I truly appreciate your trust in us for such an important family celebration. We would be honored to welcome you and your family back to Cielo Azul anytime. Until then, congratulations again to your parents on their remarkable 50 years together, and thank you for allowing us to be a small part of the celebration! Pura Vida, Whit

An absolutely beautiful property with amazing views. The home is huge, well-appointed, and has everything you need. Whit has thought of everything and is incredibly responsive and helpful in making visits perfect.

Dane, thank you for the fantastic review. It was a pleasure hosting you and your family at Cielo Azul Villa. I truly appreciate the kind words about the home, the views, and the effort we put into creating a complete guest experience. We’ve worked hard to think through the details, so it means a lot when guests notice. Thank you as well for recognizing my responsiveness—I take a lot of pride in helping ensure each stay is as seamless and memorable as possible. You and your family were wonderful guests, and I would be honored to host you again anytime. Pura Vida, Whit Owner / Manager

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!

Thank you for such a thoughtful review—we really appreciate you taking the time to share your experience. I’m glad the villa—and especially that pool—made such an impression. It’s one of those spots where the combination of ocean views, jungle surroundings, and total privacy really comes together. That tranquil setting is exactly what we hope guests feel from the moment they arrive. Great to hear the full house A/C and easy access to both the pool and nearby beaches helped everyone stay comfortable—it’s a big part of enjoying the climate here. And yes… noted on the tour length 😄 I may need to create a “kid-friendly under 6 year old express version” going forward. We’d love to host you again anytime—Uvita has a way of pulling people 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

Whit’s Villa was absolutely incredible! The villa is immaculate, and Whit has thought of every possible detail to make your stay unforgettable. He personally welcomed us, showed us the way to the villa, and gave us a tour. His extensive binders filled with top recommendations around Uvita are a treasure, definitely use them! They won’t let you down. The view is breathtaking, creating the perfect backdrop to watch the sunset. Whit connected us with his amazing concierge, Simone, who went above and beyond to make our trip truly memorable. She arranged thrilling adventures for our family, from zip-lining to ATV rides. Both Whit and Simone are super responsive, making the entire experience smooth and stress-free.

Thank you so much for the wonderful review. It truly means a lot to me that you and your family had such a great stay at Cielo Azul. One of my goals when designing and building the villa was to create a place where groups could spend time together but still have plenty of space to spread out and relax, so I am very happy to hear that you enjoyed the layout, the views, and all the small details around the property. The sunsets from the pool and hot tub are still one of my favorite things here, and I’m glad you were able to enjoy them as well. I also really appreciate your comments about the welcome and villa tour. Because the property is large and unique, I always like to personally meet guests, show them around, and make sure everyone is comfortable and familiar with everything early in the stay. I think it helps everyone relax and enjoy their vacation from the very beginning. I’m especially glad you were able to work with Simone. She does a fantastic job helping guests plan activities and logistics, and it sounds like she put together a great itinerary for your family. Zip-lining, ATV tours, waterfalls, snorkeling, and all the local adventures are a big part of what makes this area so special. Thank you again for choosing Cielo Azul for your trip and for taking the time to write such a thoughtful review. It was a pleasure meeting you and hosting your group, and you are welcome back anytime. Safe travels and hopefully we will see you again in Costa Rica someday. — Whit

Whit was super helpful and so kind welcoming us. He showed us around and explained some of the home’s amenities and operations. His home guides with suggestions were on point and we loved the restaurants listed as favorites. Was very quick to assist when we had a question about outdoor shower…Simone was a wonderful asset all week, making us reservations and being so helpful and responsive! Chef Vlad made us an incredible dinner! It was fabulous and our favorite evening as a family!! Would do it all again!

Thank you so much for the wonderful review. It was truly a pleasure meeting you and your family and having you stay at Cielo Azul.

We spend a lot of time keeping those guides updated so guests can experience some of the best places in the area, so it’s great to hear that you found them useful. I’m also happy we were able to quickly help with your question during your stay. We want everything to be easy and comfortable while you are at the villa, so please never hesitate to reach out when you are here. I will definitely pass along your kind words to Simone and Chef Vlad. Simone does an amazing job helping guests plan activities, reservations, and logistics, and Chef Vlad really does create some very special meals.

Our stay was everything you would hope for when away on vacation. Whit truly cares about EVERY detail and accommodations and this is what it is all about. Although we ran into a delay in check in with contruction on traveling there Whit was extremely patient. He met us there and gave us a tour of everything which simplified and eliminated any future questions. Grocery stores, gas stations, restaurants, entertainment etc is all just minutes away, which is perfect.  The view was beautiful and captivating.  I would for sure return and would highly recommend!!

It was a pleasure hosting you and your group, and you’re always welcome back anytime.

This villa is an absolute gem. It’s spacious, private, has a great pool area with an amazing view, a huge and well equipped kitchen, and the beds are really comfortable.   Whit always responds quickly and has some great recommendations for the area. I would 100% come back again

An incredible house! The photos don't do it justice; it's so much better in person. It has every amenity you could possibly need and more! Luxury surrounded by nature with a spectacular view of the ocean and the surrounding countryside.

Everything was perfect! A very good place

¡Muchísimas gracias por su excelente comentario! Nos alegra mucho saber que todo estuvo perfecto y que disfrutaron del lugar. Fue un placer recibirlos y esperamos tener la oportunidad de hospedarlos nuevamente en el futuro.

This gorgeous home exceeded all our expectations. One of the best parts was the amazing sunset you can see right from the pool/patio every day. The home is pristine and the pool was gorgeous. We loved the sunken living room outside and spent a ton of time there. The huge dining table was great for the seven of us for playing games and having meals. Everyone loved their bedrooms and beautiful bathrooms. Overall it was the perfect house for the perfect vacation. Whit was super responsive whenever we needed anything or had questions. The location is perfect…close to everything yet located in a quiet area in the mountains. We highly recommend this gorgeous home for your visit to Costa Rica.

10☆ Airbnb!  Excellent, very clean villa with the most comfortable beds and linens.  Super location!  stunning view!  Once you arrive,  you will never want to leave!  Whit was amazing!  We had a flat tire the night we arrived 1 mile from the villa. The tire and rim wouldn't come off so he took all 8 of us and our luggage to the villa and took us to the Adobe Rental Car the next morning.  He was super responsive to any issues!  We have stayed in alot of Airbnb's across the world and this definitely ranks as ONE OF THE BEST! We will return!

Our family had a phenomenal stay at Whit’s beautiful home. The pictures and description were accurate and the home provided more than enough space for 6 of us. We all had privacy, but plenty of areas to gather. The view was beautiful. Easy access to town and all of our activities for the week. There is a lot to see in Costa Rica, but this home and Uvita make it very tempting to return to the same place next time. Thanks again, Whit!!

It’s great to know everyone enjoyed having their own privacy as well as those open areas to gather and take in the ocean and jungle views. I’m also glad the location worked well for exploring Uvita and all the activities nearby—it truly is one of the most beautiful areas in Costa Rica. Hearing that you’d consider returning here means a lot. You were absolutely fantastic guests, and it would be a real pleasure to welcome your family back to Cielo Azul anytime!

Villa Azul was a true haven and perfect launch point for our epic friends group adventure vacation in and around Uvita. Our group loved the comfort and amenities of the house, the magical ocean and jungle view from the pool area, the helpful tips and communication from the host Whit, but most of all, the amazing service and assistance we received from the concierge Simone. Her help and advice with nearly step of our extensive itinerary was comprehensive and invaluable and insured we had an optimized and stress free experience with all the wonderful activities this special part of Costa Rica has to offer. In particular Simone’s ocean snorkeling and river safari excursion is a “must do”.  Simone helped me find and book the best experiences, and saved me tons of both time and money. Both Whit and Simone provided prompt and kind communication leading up to and throughout our stay. The entire experience was exceptional and truly 5 Stars all around.

Justin, thank you so much for your thoughtful and detailed review! It was a real pleasure hosting your group and hearing how much you enjoyed both the villa and the adventures around Uvita. I’m thrilled that the views, amenities, and especially Simone’s support made your trip so memorable — she’ll be delighted to know her efforts helped make everything run so smoothly. We truly appreciate you choosing Cielo Azul Villa as your base for such an epic getaway and hope to welcome you and your friends back for another round of adventure soon. Pura vida, Whit

A truly spectacular stay. The house is even better than what's shown in the photos, with an incredible layout, very spacious rooms and all the spaces are very well equipped. It's full of details that make the stay perfect. The host was very attentive and clear with the information. Absolutely recommended.

Una estadía realmente espectacular. La casa es aún mejor de lo que se ve en las fotos, con una distribución increíble, piezas muy amplias y todos los espacios muy bien equipados. Está llena de detalles que hacen que la estadía sea perfecta. El anfitrión muy atento y claro con la información. Absolutamente recomendado.

Wow – thank you so much for such a thoughtful and generous review. I’m truly delighted to hear that your stay at the villa exceeded your expectations. We work hard to make sure the property feels even better in person than it looks in photos, so it’s wonderful to know you found the layout, the spacious suites, and all the little details both comfortable and memorable. I also really appreciate your kind words about my communication and attentiveness. I believe clear information and being available to guests when needed helps make the entire vacation more relaxing and stress-free, so I’m glad that came through during your time here. It was a genuine pleasure to host you, and I’m thrilled you were able to enjoy everything the villa has to offer. Thank you as well for recommending us – that means so much. You are always welcome back anytime, and I’d be honored to host you again in the future. Warm regards, Whit

It was great having you and your group. Please come back when you have more time. We hope to see you soon!

Everything was great and exactly as in the pictures and description. The communication with Whitney worked smoothly and the view was definitely the highlight!

Alles war super und genauso wie in den Bildern und der Beschreibung. Die Kommunikation mit Whitney hat reibungslos funktioniert und der Ausblick war definitiv das Highlight!

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! I’m so happy to hear that everything was just as you expected from the photos and description—it means a lot to know the villa delivered on what you were hoping for. I’m also glad that communication felt easy and smooth; that’s always my goal so your time here is stress-free from start to finish. And yes, the view truly is magical—I never tire of it myself, and it’s always a joy to see guests enjoy it just as much. You were such thoughtful and respectful guests, and it was a pleasure to host you. You’re welcome back to the villa anytime, and I’d love to host you again whenever your travels bring you back to Costa Rica!

Whit’s place was an absolute gem. The house is in a location with an unbeatable view that can be seen from plenty of rooms and the common spaces. The pool and hot tub were perfect and the view at sunset was exceptional. The house came with a concierge (Simone) and if requested a chef (Vlad)…neither disappointed!! Would highly recommend Chef Vlad for his breakfast and dinners as they were delicious! Would also recommend a day excursion with Simone to Corcovado national park where we saw whales, monkeys, macaws, crocodiles, etc. really it was such a special day. For a group of 8 we had plenty of space and I would recommend this place to other groups as well! 4x4 car recommended to get up to the house but you will be in excellent hands during your stay. Thank you Whit, Vlad, and Simone!!

Thank you so much for the wonderful review! I’m thrilled you and your group enjoyed the villa, the views, the pool, and of course the incredible meals from Chef Vlad. Simone will also be so pleased to hear you had such a special day exploring Corcovado with her. Just to clarify one point for future guests: while some recommend a 4x4 in Costa Rica, it’s not required to access the villa. We’ve had 24-passenger 2WD vehicles coming up weekly for over three years without issue. So whether guests arrive in a shuttle, a rental car, or a van, they’ll be in excellent hands from start to finish. Thank you again for staying with us — we’d love to welcome you back anytime!

Whitney’s place was immaculate! Vlad serviced our stay and his knowledge in the kitchen is what you need on every vacation! His portions were just right. The flavors. The variety. I would recommend Vlad and his chef services to anyone staying at this beautiful home. Whitney had lots of recommendations for restaurants around the area. The house is perfectly laid out for a family or a group of friends on vacation. Everyone has their space and room for lots of social time. The jacuzzi area was perfect ! Bar spaces were ample. Lots of sitting areas to enjoy the views. Pura Vida at its finest.

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! I’m delighted you found Cielo Azul Villa immaculate and that the layout worked so well for your group. One of the things I love most about the villa is how it balances privacy with plenty of gathering spaces, making it ideal for both families and groups of friends. I’m thrilled you enjoyed relaxing in the private jacuzzi and pool while taking in the ocean views, and that the multiple bar and lounge areas gave you the perfect spots to unwind together. Chef Vlad will be so happy to hear your kind words—he takes great pride in creating fresh, flavorful meals with just the right portions and variety, and it sounds like he made your stay extra special. I’m also glad my recommendations helped you explore some of the wonderful restaurants, beaches, and waterfalls around Uvita. Hosting your group was a pleasure, and I hope we’ll have the chance to welcome you back to experience Costa Rica’s pura vida lifestyle again soon. Pura Vida, Whitney

Beautiful house with amazing views would definitely recommend to family and friends

Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re thrilled you enjoyed the house and the views. It means a lot that you’d recommend us to your family and friends, and we’d love to welcome you back anytime! 🌿✨

After staying at more than 30+ airbnbs, I can easily say that staying here was a decadent experience. You'll feel like royalty from sun up to sun down on top of the mountain. Easy to get to ALL of the top beaches, restaurants and destinations. It's hard to imagine you will ever find better accommodations ANYWHERE. After staying at many amazing airbnbs I've given 5 star reviews to, I feel like they should all be demoted to a 3 star experience after staying here...This place is truly an EPIC 5 star stay and Whit is a terrific host. Returning here after an action packed day was as relaxing as it gets ...enjoying the bar amenities, Bluetooth music everywhere, a game room, and sleeping in on comfortable beds and fine linens really was a magical experience. I can only hope I can make it back here one day!

Your review left us absolutely speechless — and smiling from ear to ear! 🌟 Knowing you’ve stayed at over 30 Airbnbs worldwide and still found Cielo Azul Villa in Costa Rica to be an “EPIC 5-star stay” is the highest honor we could hope for. We’re thrilled you enjoyed our luxury mountaintop villa with its panoramic ocean and jungle views, easy access to Uvita’s top beaches, restaurants, and waterfalls, and the little luxuries like the private bar, Bluetooth music throughout, game room, and plush beds with fine linens. It was a joy hosting you, and we truly hope to welcome you back to our exclusive Costa Rica vacation rental for another magical escape!

Awesome views while relaxing in the hot tub and able to watch the kids enjoy in the pool. Overall very relaxing!

Thank you for your wonderful review! We’re so glad you could soak in those awesome views from the hot tub while the kids enjoyed the pool—it sounds like the perfect way to relax. We’re thrilled you had such a relaxing stay and hope to welcome you back to Cielo Azul Villa soon!

We had an amazing stay at Whit’s place! He was very informative, gave good recommendations and we just absolutely loved the home. Would definitely recommend staying here!

Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re thrilled you loved the home and that our recommendations helped make your stay even more enjoyable. It was a pleasure hosting you, and we’d be happy to welcome you back to Cielo Azul Villa anytime!

Everything was so beautiful in our stay at Cielo Azul!!! Whit works with an amazing team of people and they all made our stay absolutely phenomenal and a breeze! Let’s start with Simone! She is the house concierge and is so helpful and a pleasure to work with! She was very responsive with all my questions and request! Next on the list is Chef Vlad! We hired chef for our first dinner at the house and also for a full service day. Everything was top tier! May I add, he cooked for a house of 8 women and we were all very impressed! It was the best idea we had, in hiring a private chef! I will say, I miss the lunch ceviche he made us! It was the best fresh ceviche I have ever had! But it all was phenomenal and delicious! Gilbert was our private driver during our stay, who Simone helped set up for us! He was so attentive, helpful, and very patient with us! Bless his heart! Very easy going with our planned schedule and also when we changed it up! Would book this villa again in a heartbeat!

Thank you so much for your incredibly kind words! We’re thrilled that your stay at Cielo Azul was such a beautiful and memorable experience. It truly means the world to us to hear that our team—Simone, Chef Vlad, and Gilbert—helped make everything feel seamless and special. Simone is a gem, and we’re so glad you felt supported and cared for throughout your planning and stay. Chef Vlad will be delighted to hear your praise—especially about that ceviche (we agree, it's something special!). And Gilbert is always so patient and gracious; we’re lucky to have him as part of the experience we offer. It was a joy to host your group, and we’d absolutely love to welcome you back anytime. You’ll always have a place here at Cielo Azul. ¡Pura vida!

It was wonderful seeing how much your group enjoyed the villa. Come back anytime

Excellent villa! Absolute perfection. So well designed,  many thoughtful touches. Kitchen well equipped, beds so comfortable, great sound system, awesome pool and hot tub, lots of space for a large group. Zero complaints from my crew. Whit was accessible for questions and so was Simone, concierge.

Both Simone and I sincerely thank you for the wonderful review! It was truly a pleasure having you and your family join us here in beautiful Costa Rica. We’ve invested a great deal of time and care into adding amenities that elevate the vacation experience, especially for larger family groups — which are our specialty! I'm so glad we were able to meet the challenge. You’re welcome back anytime — we’d love to host you again!

Great host! Super responsive and gave clear instructions. Thank you Whit!

Thank you so much. we enjoyed meeting you!

Wow!!! What an experience!! Whitney’s place was absolutely amazing!!! Perfect place for our family vacation. Enough room for everyone and space to not feel cluttered! Beautiful views & beautiful amenities!!! Simone was beyond helpful!!! Such an amazing woman and made so many amazing experiences with her! She made the entire trip seamless! She took us on our snorkeling tour & to spend the day with Indigenous Boruca Sergio & his mom. Such a beautiful experience. Vlad, our chef, was AMAZING!!!! He made each of our meals better than the next & my birthday extra special!!! We caught tuna & he switched it up and served it fresh that night!!! His bartending skills were on point too and he became like family!!! Don’t hesitate on staying here I promise you’ll love it!! The pictures are beautiful but don’t show the depth of just how amazing it is!!! So be sure to utilize Simone for some of your experiences/excursions & book Vlad’s chef services!!! Pura Vida!!!!

Thank you so much for the amazing review! It was truly a pleasure hosting your group. We strive to give every guest a custom experience that exceeds expectations, and we're thrilled to hear you had such a memorable stay One of the greatest advantages of our location in Uvita is that we offer over 45 different adventures within just a 15-minute drive—many of them even less than 5 minutes away. Once again, thank you for staying with us. We’re so happy you enjoyed your time at the Villa and hope to welcome you back someday!

We stayed at Whit’s place for one week as two families with young children. The size of the home was very spacious for our group of 10 and the location of the home feels very private. The views from the hot tub, pool, master bedroom, and dining space are all absolutely phenomenal! Which the owner, Simone the concierge, Vlad the chef are all true gems. Simone helped us plan our entire trip by offering recommendations that look for activities and was always immediately responsive, including when we couldn’t find our shuttle driver at 6 AM!. Vlad the chef is friendly, punctual, creative, and allows for a gourmet experience at the house. Highest recommendation for this amazing villa!

We truly appreciate your wonderful review! It was such a joy to host your group, and we're so glad to hear you had a memorable experience. Our goal is always to create a personalized and seamless stay for each guest, and it means a lot to know we delivered. One of the things that makes our spot in Uvita so special is how close we are to adventure—over 45 activities are just minutes away, offering something for everyone right at your doorstep. Thank you again for staying with us. We loved having you and hope your travels bring you back our way in the future!

Great place. Really enjoyed our stay here. Whit had great recs

As we both agreed....there was a lot to do with 35 activities and 45 Restaurants all within 5-15 minutes from the Villa

Everything was excellent 👍 Thank you!!

Our family of 6 adults and 5 children (6 to 16) just returned from a 5 night stay at Cielo Azul Villa, and honestly our visit was exceptional. Whitney the owner/ host met and escorted us to the villa from the main road, and then gave us a thorough tour of this amazing property.The guidebook he put together had wonderful suggestions and recommendations for local attractions, conveniences and restaurants. The layout of the villa provided for family togetherness and private time. All the amenities were top notch. We cannot say enough good things about Simone, the concierge of the villa. Simone was extremely helpful making reservations for our adventures, and is very knowledgeable about everything that would make your vacation exceptional. We communicated often with Simone before and during our visit, and her prompt replies were appreciated. We absolutely recommend hiring the personal chef Vlad, who prepared and served delicious dinners for all 5 nights. Well worth it!

What a pleasure it was to host your group—thank you for the kind words! We’re so glad your time at the Villa was everything you hoped for. Creating unforgettable stays is what we love to do, and knowing you left with great memories means the world to us. Uvita is a hidden gem, not just for its beauty, but for its access to adventure. Whether it’s zip-lining through the jungle, horseback riding on the beach, or exploring hidden waterfalls, you’re never more than a few minutes away from something incredible. Thanks again for choosing us. We hope to see you again for another unforgettable escape!

The hosts were very helpful with the arrival and giving us places to visit, the accommodation was very clean, the view was amazing, I would fully recommend this accommodation to stay, the experience was amazing

Los hosts muy atentos con la llegada y dándonos lugares para visitar, el hospedaje muy limpio, la vista increíble, recomendaría full este hospedaje para quedarse, la experiencia increíble

Thank you so much for the 5-star review! It was a pleasure hosting you at Cielo Azul Villa. We’re so glad you enjoyed the space and the peaceful jungle surroundings. Come back anytime — pura vida!

A spectacular house, it is much more impressive in person than in the photos, incredible sunsets, the house is very spacious, the pool and jacuzzi are very well maintained. You won't regret coming to this place. Whitney was an excellent host

Una casa espectacular, es mucho más impresionante en persona que en las fotos, los atardeceres increíbles, la casa muy amplia, la piscina y el jacuzzi muy bien cuidados. No se van a arrepentir de venir a este lugar. Whitney fue un excelente anfitrión

Thank you so much for your kind review — it was a true pleasure hosting your group! We’re thrilled to hear your stay was memorable. At our core, we aim to create experiences that go beyond expectations, and your feedback means the world to us.

Amazing Views! Great place, spacious, with nice furnishings. The layout of the floorplan was great, everyone could spread out and do their own thing or come together in the several large communal areas. Kitchen had great amenities and quality gear.  Location was superb,  about 8 minutes to Uvita and Playa Hermosa, and about 15 minutes to Dominical. House is up on the the hill but road is paved with easy access. Would definitely stay again.

Thank you so much for your kind review—it was a true pleasure hosting your group! We’re thrilled to hear you had such a memorable stay. One of the things that makes our location so unique is the sheer number of adventures right at your fingertips. In Uvita, you’re never far from excitement—with over 45 activities within 15 minutes of the Villa, there’s truly something for everyone. From waterfall hikes, snorkeling, and zip-lining to horseback riding on the beach and wildlife tours, the opportunities for exploration and fun are endless—and many are just minutes from your door. We’re so glad you got to experience a taste of what makes this region so special. Thank you again for choosing to stay with us, and we hope to welcome you back for more adventure soon!

Our stay at this Airbnb in Uvita was absolutely incredible! Whitney, the owner, welcomed us personally, giving a tour and sharing his passion for his stunning home. His concierge, Simone, was amazing-helping with every detail, even assisting with plans beyond our stay here. Chef Vlad prepared divine breakfasts and dinners, accommodating dietary needs with great care. The house was spectacular, with breathtaking views we’ll never forget. Without hesitation, we’d return and book the same home again! For adventure lovers, ask about the Morete ATV coffee tour & three waterfalls-a must-do! If you enjoy exploring on wheels, long-term rentals for ATVs, scooters, motorbikes are available in Uvita, making transportation easy beyond rental cars. A huge thanks to Whitney, Simone, and Chef Vlad for making our trip unforgettable. We can't wait to come back! Be prepaired - a shuttle from SJO should be ~4 hours; however our Friday arrival and bad accidents turned it into 6 hours, its worth it though!

Thanks so much for your 5-star feedback! We're thrilled your stay was perfect. Chef Vlad and the team love making guests feel at home — we’d be delighted to host you again in paradise!

This house is just beautiful! A breathtaking view! I'll definitely go back! The beds are very comfortable! The chef they recommended to us was very good! Why go out to a restaurant with such a perfect home 😍

Cette maison est simplement magnifique! Une vue à coupé le souffle! J’y retournerai c’est certain! Les lits sont très confortables! Le chef qu’ils nous ont recommandé étais très bon! Pourquoi sortir au restaurant avec une maison aussi parfaite 😍

Thank you for the 5 stars! Cielo Azul is a special place for romance, reconnection, and relaxation. We're so happy you felt that during your stay. Come back soon for more jungle serenity!

Amazing location and view. House is as described!

We truly appreciate your kind words! Cielo Azul is all about comfort, space, and total privacy — and we’re so glad you had a perfect experience. You’re welcome back anytime for another relaxing escape!

This place is beautiful! We felt at home and enjoyed our time very much. The decor of the house and the house itself is stunning, and the (sunset) view even more. Also the communication with the host is fast, clear and friendly. A great place to stay and well worth it!

Thank you! We're thrilled the villa was a perfect fit for your group. With five bedrooms and eight baths, there’s plenty of room to relax — and we’re so happy you made the most of it!

Thank you, Enrique! We’re glad you had a great stay at Bali Hai. It was a pleasure hosting you, and we’d love to welcome you back anytime. Pura vida!

Whitney is a five star host went well beyond the needed to stay on top of things and was very helpful with all our needs His concierge Simone was an amazing concierge as good as anything you get a 5 diamond hotel The house itself was amazing with every amenity. You can imagine you will feel like you are staying right in the middle of a forest, surrounded by birds and butterflies, and no bugs, which was the most amazing experience to have. Thank you Whitney

House was beautiful. Had everything we needed.

Thank you so much! We’re happy to hear the house felt like the perfect home away from home and had everything you needed. We’d love to host you again anytime! Pura vida

I booked this house for a girls trip for my 25th birthday and I’m so glad I did. It was quite some distance from the airport but 100% worth it. The house was gorgeous and a great way to reconnect with nature. During my trip it was raining every day (came the end of rainy season) even with the rain it was amazing. The house is so nice you don’t even need to leave to have a good Time. I definitely suggest utilizing a private chef. We had meals prepared at the house by chef Vlad and it was by far the highlight of the house. Not only was everything he cooked magnificent, but his service was phenomenal as well. I told him what I liked to eat and every meal prepared was catered to our group and the food got better and better every day. He was such a delight and it was an honor to try personal dishes prepared by him. His food and presentation was made with love and it definitely showed. His wife Simone was also so helpful and kind. Her knowledge of the area made planning the trip easier.

Thank you for the kind words! There’s nothing quite like a Cielo Azul sunset with the jungle all around. We're so glad you enjoyed it — we’d love to welcome you back soon!

Our stay at the villa was incredible—better than the photos. The space was perfect for our group of 10, and Whitney’s thoughtful birthday decorations in the dining room added a special touch. Simone, the co-host, was very responsive at all hours, which made the stay feel welcoming. The chef’s food was exceptional, a true 11/10. However, the sudden price change and the attitude during that discussion were disappointing. The location itself is beautiful, a hidden gem for those looking to relax at the villa, but logistics are challenging. The 9-hour drive from Liberia Airport and unexpected traffic in Costa Rica prevented us from exploring our itinerary. Additionally, the driver arranged through the villa raised the rates after each initial quote, which was frustrating. Overall, we’re thankful for the wonderful stay and hospitality, but we hope future guests can avoid the issues we encountered.

We’re thrilled you had a 5-star stay! The blend of modern comfort and raw jungle beauty is what makes Cielo Azul so special. Thanks again for choosing us — pura vida!

The house is a super host, it has a very personalized design with very fine ecabados!  Our expectations will remain untouched! I would definitely recommend this place, Whit is a great man and a great host, he knows what he does and does it very well 🫡

La casa es un super host, tiene un diseño muy personalizado con ecabados muy finos!  Nuestras expectativas se quedaro intactas! Definitivamente recomendaría este lugar, Whit es un excelente hombre y un excelente anfitrion, sabe lo que hace y lo hace muy bien 🫡

Thank you for the great review! We work hard to keep every part of the villa spotless, spacious, and comfortable, and we’re so happy that showed. You're always welcome at Cielo Azul!

Whitney was hospitable during our stay, and extended his concierge to accommodate any additional needs during our stay.

So glad you had a perfect stay! Between the quiet luxury of the villa and the beaches and activities nearby, it’s the best of both worlds. Thanks again and hope to see you back in Uvita soon!

If you've ever wanted to stay in a $2+million dollar house, this is the one to try.  Sweeping view of the ocean, wide open covered spaces to enjoy that view.  Huge hot tub and pool.  Huge, well equipped kitchen.  Lots of private spaces to spread out.

Thanks so much for the five stars! We're so glad your group enjoyed the space, the views, and all the little details. It was a pleasure to host you — see you next time!

Our stay at Cielo Azul was absolutely wonderful and it’s all because of our hosts, Whitney and Simone. Before we even arrived, Simone reached out and made sure we were set up with shuttles to and from the airport, and a rental car delivered and picked up at our house. Simone also attained all of our excursions and made sure we were happy with everything. And when we did arrive, Whitney was there to ensure safe arrival and provided a personal tour of the property along with all details we needed to know. But the cherry on top was Chef Vlad who made some of the best meals our family has ever had. We will surely miss his meals! This trip was one for the books and it was all due to the amazing service we received from our hosts. I can’t say thank you enough!

We really appreciate your kind review! Creating an unforgettable experience for each guest is what drives us — thank you for making Cielo Azul part of your journey.

Whitney and his team, Simone and Chef Vlad, definitely provided us an amazing service and we hope to visit again soon.

Thank you so much — it means the world to us when guests leave happy and refreshed. We truly enjoyed hosting you and hope to see you again for more pura vida adventures!

My family loved our stay at this AirBNB! We were impressed with all the work Whit has put into making it an amazing place to stay. It was hard to leave! Whit is also an amazing host who knows the area well and has the best recommendations.

Thank you for the wonderful review! We’re so glad everything went smoothly during your stay. Cielo Azul is all about relaxing, recharging, and enjoying the moment — come back anytime!

Was an absolutely beautiful place with infinity pool, hot tub and all the amenities. Host gave us a personal tour when we arrived. The concierge Simone and her husband Vlad, the personal chef, were wonderful. Had an amazing tour of the mangrove preserve as well as whale and dolphin watching and other wildlife. Was a perfect day. Simone also went out of her way to help me navigate a traffic violation that was very expensive and was able to get it dropped! Amazing couple. Highly recommend!

Thank you for your kind words! We’re passionate about offering more than just a place to stay — it’s about personalized hospitality and unforgettable memories. You're always welcome back!

“He’s an icon, he’s a legend, and he is the moment.” Whitney took amazing care of us and the home was stunning. From the get go he assisted in us with everything from information on the laws, car rentals, activities, directions, restaurants, all of it. I think that the quality of the host is just as important of the quality of the home. Would 100% stay here again. Can’t recommend it enough. It was the perfect mix of resort style mixed with privacy and state of the art assimilation into Costa Rican landscape.

Kristina, thank you for such an incredible review! Hosting you and your group was truly a pleasure. I’m so glad you felt well taken care of and enjoyed both the villa and the experience of Costa Rica. Your kind words mean a lot, and I’d be honored to welcome you back to Cielo Azul anytime!

Words cannot describe this trip - was even better in person / Host was amazing / quickly responded every time / he met us 5 hours later than expected due to traveling delays to take us directly to the home (up in the mountains) and did a tour-very helpful, gave great recommendations and even offered us another night stay when there was a hurricane warning at my hometown. We were a group of 10 - highly recommend: - Jungle ATV’s excursion - Mountain Views, Waterfall, coffee farm, river to swim in, etc., - Chef Vlad for Private Chef - we had brunch and dinner with dessert at the home; food and his Mango and Strawberry Daiquiri’s were sooo good. - Mangrove Tour / Cano Island - Simone (She was the best - extremely nice any helpful from start to finish. We combined these 2 excursions in one and WOW - we saw wild Monkeys, Dolphins, Humpback whales, mostly everyone did snorkeling and saw Sea Turtles and beautiful fishes We would do this trip all over again!

Wow, thank you so much for this incredible review! We’re beyond thrilled that your trip was even better in person and that our team—from Robert meeting you despite travel delays, to Simone coordinating your amazing excursions, and Chef Vlad delighting your group with delicious meals—helped make your stay truly unforgettable. Your highlights perfectly capture the magic of the area, from jungle ATVs and mountain views to wildlife-filled mangrove tours and snorkeling adventures. It was a pleasure hosting your group of 10, and we’re so glad you felt well cared for every step of the way—even during the unexpected hurricane warning. We would absolutely love to welcome you all back anytime for another unforgettable experience! Pura vida!

Whitney is a wonderful, helpful host. He gave detailed instructions at check-in, was responsive during our stay and his recommendations were spot on. When you visit, do yourself a favor and hire Chief Vlad. I took the advice of a previous reviewer and hired Vlad to have dinner ready for us when we arrived. After a long flight and a 3.5-hour drive from the airport, we didn’t want to have to cook. Vlad’s friendly, inviting demeanor and exemplary culinary skills were the perfect addition to our vacation. Ask him about the plantain cake, I’m not sure what it’s called but it’s excellent!  A definite must-do.

Thank you so much for your kind words! I’m glad the check-in process and recommendations helped make your stay smooth and enjoyable. Chef Vlad will be thrilled to hear your praise—especially about the plantain cake (that’s quesadilla for anyone curious!). It was a pleasure hosting you, and we’d love to welcome you back anytime for another relaxing getaway. Pura vida!

This place was amazing! The house is beautiful! We loved the views from the house and hearing nature all around us. We wish we had even more time to stay! Whit was very helpful! All his recommendations were great - from places to eat, things to do and recommended having a local Chef come to house to cook AMAZING meals! Whit was very responsive- before and during our trip.  We would definitely stay here again and would recommend this house to anyone!

Thank you so much! We’re thrilled you loved the house, the views, and the sounds of nature all around. It means a lot to hear that the recommendations and Chef services helped make your trip truly special. We’d absolutely love to welcome you back anytime—there’s always more to explore and enjoy! Pura vida!

Wow is an understatement for this house. We thoroughly loved the space for our family. Whit gave GREAT recommendations for activities to do and places to eat. All were a hit with our group. Hot tub and pool at the end our day excursions was wonderful. If you’re going to Costa Rica, I highly recommend this home!

Wow, thank you so much for your amazing words! We’re delighted your family loved the space and that the recommendations hit the mark for everyone. Ending your days with the hot tub and pool sounds like the perfect way to unwind after adventures! We’d be thrilled to welcome you back anytime. Thanks again for recommending our home! Pura vida!

The house had an AMAZING layout for families to gather and cook together.  Close to beaches and adventure spots to explore.  Whitney was very responsive and helpful with recommendations and our requests! Great stay! Pura Vida!!🇨🇷🥰

Thanks for the five stars! We’re so glad you loved the views and unique spaces around the villa — Cielo Azul is built to be as beautiful as it is comfortable. Hope to see you again soon!

Beautiful well maintained home with stunning views. Perfect for a large family to spend time together and have personal space. Whitney provided clear instructions so we could enjoy all the amenities the home offered and was readily available for local recommendations or troubleshooting. He gave us the best viewpoint venue to enjoy. the Whale’s Tail.

My cousins and I had a fantastic time at this property! It was fully equipped with everything we needed and more! The host met us upon arrival, which was great because finding the property without him leading the way may have been a bit tricky. He gave us a tour, went over House rules, and provided additional information. The home was extremely clean, the interior was decorated to the “T” and overall it was immaculate. During our stay, there was a storm that did cause a power outage. Be prepared for this to happen, apparently this one lasted much longer than most, but the villa was equipped with flashlights, candles, and good vibes.

best host ever.  even took us to super market on arrival since it was night time.   real pleasure to deal with a host of this caliber.

This house is amazing!!!! Beautiful with a great view. Each room was its own little piece of serenity. It was truly amazing and a great reset for my mind. Whitney was a great host. He even got us creamer! lol his recommendations were great! We hired the chef he recommended as well as the driver and used some of the recommendations of local attractions.

Great home. Perfect location. Well maintained. Perfect amenities. Felt just like home.

Whitney is a great host and the house was really good and matched the description.

Great place for a vacation. My family and I had a great time.  Whitney was always attentive to help us and the house is spectacular for rest. The landscape is amazing and matches the 100% photos and descriptions. Recommended for families who want to rest and spend time together as there is a lot to do.

Excelente lugar para vacaciones. Mi familia y yo la pasamos increíble.  Whitney siempre estuvo atento a ayudarnos y la casa es espectacular para descansar. El paisaje es increíble y coincide con las fotos y descripciones al 100%. Recomendado para familias que quieren descansar y pasar tiempo juntos ya que hay mucho por hacer.

The property was amazing! It was everything I hoped for. The pool was perfect and the jacuzzi was fantastic. Whit sent plenty of recommendations prior to our stay and suggested add-ons. Since the day of our arrival consisted of long travel, I contacted Whit to ask for his private chef, Vladimir, and for massages at the villa. After a 7 hour drive, a relaxing day at the villa was exactly what we needed. Vladimir, the private chef, was professional and detailed and the flavors and presentation were top-tier. We requested lobster for dinner for half of our guests and his wife let us know that lobster was unavailable everywhere they went. I said not to worry and that we would all do fish instead, however, Vladimir went above and beyond to find the lobster! It was an excellent meal and a perfect birthday celebration. The recommendation for massages that was by the pool was amazing. This villa was worth the long drive! This place was spacious and every detail was thoughtfully considered!

The home was beautiful.  Everyone loved the home.  He had everything to make for a great stay.  The home has plenty for space to spread out.  great home for multiple families.

Whitney, she was always attentive to what we needed, giving very useful data. The house was spectacular!

Whitney, fue estuvo siempre atento a lo que necesitáramos, dando datos muy útiles. la casa era espectacular!

Whitney‘s villa was beautiful. Definitely listen to his detailed instructions on how to get up the mountain. We did not make the right turn and ended up on a very steep slope. The next morning he came and showed us the correct way and it was so much easier to drive up, every single room was beautiful and had its own bathroom. The kitchen was well equipped and we hung out by the pool during the day. Beware you are in the jungle, so there is a lot of bugs, but we are able to keep most of them outside and slept comfortably at night, you’re only 10 minutes from the town and another 15 minutes from Dominical. Please review his binder of suggested restaurants. We loved all of the places we visited.

If you're searching for the perfect getaway in Costa Rica, look no further. This property is equipped with everything you might need during your stay. The place itself is even nicer than the pictures suggest, with stunning views and very well-chosen furniture. Whitney himself is super friendly and always responded to all our questions almost immediately. He knows all about the activities, nice restaurants, and places nearby. Very helpful. I'm glad we stayed at such a nice place and met such a wonderful host. Thank you for your hospitality!

We were a large group with young kids and host went above and beyond to recommend attractions and give us helpful tips to ease the stay. The Airbnb was even better in person. Host met us at a meeting point 4 min away and guided us to the house as well as gave us a helpful tour with a lot of info. Loved every bit of the trip.

Amazing house. Whitney is a great host and was great at communicating. 10/10

Whitney’s home was absolutely stunning and peaceful. Opening all of the doors during the day to enjoy the jungle and ocean views with a cup of coffee was something else. The home was spotless, and comfortable for me and my guests. He has a large binder of rules, instructions, recommendations and even non recommended places that we found extremely helpful. I highly recommend this place and truly did not want to leave.

We couldn't be more grateful for the incredible few days we spent at this Airbnb. From the moment we arrived, we were swept away by the tranquility and beauty of the place. The reality far surpassed the already stunning images. Whitney went above and beyond to ensure our comfort, taking the time to walk us through every detail and offering a lot of recommendations. Every moment spent in this place was great. The level of comfort and relaxation it provided was beyond measure, and the privacy afforded to us was a rare and cherished treat Without hesitation, we recommend this place to anyone seeking a special retreat. 100% recommended

I have been staying at Airbnb’s and VRBO’s since 2006 and this was the most beautiful place we ever stayed at. My children and grandchildren loved it. Whitney was so kind and helpful and gave us wonderful support.  The home is very special. My grandchildren used the pool and hot tub every evening. It was very special and very beautiful. Thank you so much.

Whitney was an unbelievable host. He went above and beyond. From the wine and local beers to recommendations and accommodations. He knew the town well and plenty of good spot to visit. By far the best host I’ve had during my travels.

One of the best airbnbs my family has ever stayed at! 10/10 stars. Everything about the home was incredible!!!

The house and view was absolutely gorgeous and spacious. The only concern was the drive to how high the house was alittle scary. That we decided not to go out at night under of how scary the road at night. The owner did though give us a number to a taxi driver that was able to get us food and coffee.

It was great having your group. I was rather surprised when you started commenting on the CONCRETE Road to the villa upon your arrival. The strange part is that our Street "Jardines del Morete Rd" is known as one of the best and safest roads in our area. I guess they prefer the flat roads they have in Dallas where they live. I just want to assure all of our guests that the road to the villa is primarily concrete and DOES NOT REQUIRE 4 Wheel Drive.  PURA VIDA

This is a great spot to relax. The pool and view are amazing. We had a few downpours during our stay and it was fantastic to sit outside with the pool lights on and watch the rain. A very easy place to relax.

I loved this property me and my family had an amazing time for sure would come back again !

Cielo Azul was amazing to say the least. Whitney beautifully built this home with great intention. He was helpful and responsive throughout our stay & the location was great distance from everything we needed, would definitely recommend!

I don’t even know where to begin with Whitney’s place. I had an amazing week at the most beautiful villa. No 4x4 needed. It was spotless and we didn’t encounter any bugs (and being in the jungle that’s a challenge — just a testament to the meticulous care the owner gives his property) and It looks EXACTLY like the photos. The views are even more spectacular than the photos. Our family took full advantage of the pool, jacuzzi, bbq and many patios/decks to enjoy sunrises, sunsets, and even the meditative sounds of the rain. We saw toucans, monkeys, and so many other birds. Whitney is also an amazing host. He gave us a full run down of the home, all the amenities it offered, and even left a binder full of recommendations, and the info he shared in case you forgot. There was not a single thing that was not thought of. The only regret I have was that we didn’t stay longer. A week just wasn’t long enough. Thank you Whitney for opening up your beautiful home and being an amazing host.

Whit’s house was breathtaking! From his lovely amenities to the beautiful views each day, what’s not to love. The house was spacious enough to fit my family of 11. Whit was very insightful and provided great recommendations.

For anyone who is looking for a private amazing place to start with family or friends this is the place. Whitney was such an amazing host. The house itself of hidden in and so well worth it. You ave the most a amazing views from almost every room in the house. Whitney has a VERY detailed book that goes through everything. Activities, restaurant the house etc. He is always available to help if you need him. And we’ll the house was spectacular we had our family plus our extended family with use and we fit comfy. Each room is unique with plenty of closet all rooms have amazing washrooms. The kids enjoyed the pool. If we visit again we will mostly staying here again. Thank your Whitney for your attention to detail en everything.

Nice house, very well-equipped and close to the tourist places.

Casa bonita, muy equipada y cerca de los lugares turísticos.

We had a wonderful 9 nights at Whitney’s place . The house was clean, tidy and spacious. Probably the most outstanding feature of the house was the covered outdoor lounge, jacuzzi and most of the pool . We were able to sit outside and enjoy these even during the afternoon and evening rain storms. We had a lovely view of the ocean and constantly heard the sounds of birds in the trees. The kitchen was well supplied with everything you may or may not need. Covered outdoor bbq, recycling bins, even ground coffee, milk and some spices . Great location, close to stores and many restaurant ( 5 min) . A 4x4 is an absolute must to reach the house. Whitney patiently waited for our late arrival and guided us up the hill to the house . He gave clear instructions and recommendations for activities and restaurants. The few times I reached out to him, he responded promptly. He was an excellent host! The house was a great choice!

Thank you for the great review but I am TOTALLY baffled that you feel a 4x4 is required. We have 2WD cars and Vans access the property daily with ABSOLUTELY NO PROBLEM.......THE PROPERTY DOES NOT REQUIRE 4WD

Very modern, spacious house with all amenities.

Casa muy moderna, amplia y con todas las comodidades.
