Casa Viva Eco Lodge Beachfront Bungalow 1 - Bungalows for Rent in Puerto Viejo de Talamanca, Limón, Costa Rica

We truly loved our stay at Casa Viva - a great mix of jungle & beach settings. The house was perfect for us and our two teenagers. I’ve stayed in this area of CR before and this property was by far the best. So well kept. Carlos was incredibly helpful with anything we needed and with recommendations and activities too.

Out stay was great. It was a such a unique experience staying on the ocean and in the Jungle. The bungalow and grounds are so beautiful. And a great area away from normal tourist type traps.

This was our fourth visit in 20 years and still amazing as ever.  The craftsmanship of the houses is outstanding.  Its an oasis of peace and quiet amongst the monkeys, sloths, birds, agoutis … The beach towels and beach chairs were a nice addition and the daily housekeeping was very much appreciated. Thank you for your warm hospitality.

We loved Casa Viva and would stay again if we ever find ourselves in punto uva. Carlos was very accommodating and communicative throughout our stay.

This place was better than we could’ve expected. It was so good that we extended our stay. The house was perfect and in the most beautiful tropical setting. We were given so many wonderful local recommendations and we love the area and Casa Viva so much. Refresh coconuts every morning was a special touch. I loved waking up in the morning and relaxing in the hammock and listening to the jungle sounds. The most beautiful and quiet beach was only steps away, and we all loved the outdoor shower when we returned from a swim. We will return soon!!!! This place was pure heaven as far as we were concerned.

Put the world on pause and enter the paradise. simply perfect - thank you for the great experience !

It was amazing! It was a wonderful place to just be. We really enjoyed the bungalow (nr 1) and being so close to the beach.

The houses are fantastically located directly on the sea. Each house is on its own - with full privacy. The gardeners spontaneously bring a coconut or a fruit from the garden. The sloth hangs in the tree. The house is spacious and comfortable. In a few steps, you are on the secluded beach. The tips for excursions around the corner were all totally correct - renting canoes was easy. Snorkeling one beach further on the reef was a highlight for the children. One of the best places to stay on the 4-week trip. Of course, also because the people of the Caribbean are easy-going. A fantastic end to our trip - we would have liked to have missed our flight and stayed a little longer ;-)

Die Häuser liegen traumhaft direkt am Meer. Jedes Haus für sich alleine - mit voller Privatsphäre. Die Gärtner bringen spontan eine Kokosnuss vorbei oder eine Frucht aus dem Garten. Das Faultier hängt im Baum. Das Haus ist geräumig und gemütlich. In wenigen Schritten ist man am einsame Strand. Die Tipps für Ausflüge um die Ecke waren alle total korrekt - das Ausleihe von Kanus war einfach möglich. Das Schnorcheln ein Strand weiter am Riff ein Highlight für die Kinder. Eine der besten Unterkünfte auf der 4-wöchigen Reise. Natürlich auch, weil die Menschen der Karibik locker unterwegs sind. Ein traumhafter Abschluss unserer Reise - wir hätten gerne unseren Flieger verpasst und wären noch ein wenig geblieben ;-)

Casa viva is a wonderful place, surrounded by lush vegetation and the sounds of the rainforest and the sea. The path to the sea is already a beautiful experience with many colorful flowers. In the village there are many cozy restaurants. Nicole welcomed us in a very friendly way and gave us very good restaurant recommendations. In the evening, the meadow in front of the house was full of fireflies - Simply magical! We want to come back! Thank you very much, Elke

Casa viva ist ein wunderbarer Ort, umgeben von üppiger Vegetation und Geräuschen des Regenwaldes und des Meeres. Der Weg zum Meer ist bereits ein wunderschönes Erlebnis mit vielen farbigen Blumen. Im Dorf gibt es viele gemütliche Restaurants. Nicole hat uns sehr freundlich empfangen und uns sehr gute Restaurant Empfehlungen gegeben. Am Abend war die Wiese vor dem Haus voll von Glühwürmchen - Einfach magisch! Wir wollen wiederkommen! Vielen herzlichen Dank Elke

We loved our stay at Casa Viva. The staff was amazing. They were great at giving food and activity recommendations, renting equipment like kayaks snorkels and paddle boards. They also helped point out sloths to us during our stay after we said our kids wanted to see them. We watched macaws and many other birds right from the hammocks on the deck. The bungalow was well maintained and had all the essentials to be able to cook a meal. The grounds are beautiful and the bungalow (#1) is right near the path to the beach. It is a relaxing place to stay; it is away from the more active area of Puerto Viejo but close enough to make eating out and exploring easy. Punta Uva is a quiet and secluded beach. We enjoyed swimming, walking and exploring the area. This is a very special place that you should not hesitate to book!

Stayed with family (2 teens) for 4 nights in Bungalow 1 which is closest to the beach. The property is beautiful, surrounded by tall trees and well maintained gardens. The host and property manager are super friendly, quick to respond and help with questions. This is a great place to disconnect, watch wildlife and take long walks on the beach. We enjoyed our vacation for sure!

Beautiful location.  Sloths and howeler monkeys seen right from the deck.  Steps to beautiful ocean with boards, canoes, chairs all available.  Fresh coconuts.  Communication was great and when bikes  (with kid seats attached) were made available as soon as we requested.  Rooms cleaned daily.  Was a great spot to stay and would recommend.  Thank you!

Great place, hard to think of anything better.

Casa Viva is relaxing, super beautiful grounds and tranquil beach.   We would definitely come back to this!

Excellent! For those who want to enjoy nature in a quiet and comfortable space, a few steps from the beach,relax listening to the waves of the sea,wake up to birdsong and observe sloths,toucans and macaws, with a neatly manicured garden... this is the perfect place. Communication is very fluid and their responses are almost immediate. We really enjoyed our stay and look forward to coming back! Thank you very much and highly recommended

Excelente! Para quien quiera disfrutar de la naturaleza en un espacio tranquilo y cómodo, a pocos pasos de la playa,relajarse escuchando las olas del mar,despertar con el canto de pájaro y observar perezosos,tucanes y guacamayas, con un jardín nítidamente cuidado…es este el lugar perfecto. La comunicación es muy fluida y sus respuestas casi inmediatas. Disfrutamos mucho nuestra estancia y esperamos regresar! Muchas gracias y súper recomendado

Casa Viva greatly exceeded our expectations. The grounds are stunning and contain so many different varieties of plants, layer upon layer of vibrant color, a true Shangri-La. Wildlife was abundant just outside our bungalow, agoutis, monkeys, birds, butterflies, geckos, and lizards to name a few... Our eco-chic bungalow (#1) was very tastefully decorated and had incredible views from every window. The wrap-around terrace was where we read and relaxed. We liked it as much as the beach, as the views into the garden were unparalleled. Punta Uva is hands down the most beautiful area in Puerto Viejo. The canopy of trees lining the beach gives enough shade to take refuge from the sun, and the walk in either direction from the property is absolutely stunning. Casa Viva provides chaise lounges to its guests, as well as beach towels. The beach in front of the property is very private which we really appreciated. Housekeeping kept our bungalow very tidy, and the staff we encountered at Casa Viva could not have been more charming and gracious. Puerto Viejo has some of the best cuisine we've had in Costa Rica, and the locals seem happy and relaxed. We hope to visit again soon!

It can be hard to pick places on Airbnb - trying to work out it if they look good in photos only… But in this instance the photos barely do any justice. This is a quiet, magical, tropical house where you can hear the surf, birds, monkeys and nothing else. The owners are always available to help arrange anything you need. The area is just magical (think mid 1990’s Thai islands, before they got built up) + loads more wildlife. If you are looking for total relaxation, this is it. Don’t bother looking further, book this!

Very good communication, I didn't read any information and Luis clarified and gave me all the details.

Muy buena comunicación, no leí alguna información y Luis me aclaró y me dió todos los detalles.

We had a great time at the wonderful time! Super nice place, beach a few steps away, excellent service and communication! We really loved it and I'm sure we'll be back! Thank you!!

We had an amazing few days at Casa Viva! We only went for four days to celebrate my mom birthday and it was the best vacation we've ever had. It's the perfect place to recharge, be in nature, and relax. The place is beautiful, super well located, in Playa Uva, one of the most beautiful and peaceful beaches in the area, and you could hear the sea from the cabin. We were just a few steps from the sea and surrounded by spectacular vegetation, the real Costa Rica! They treated us very well since we made the reservation, gave us plenty of tips on where to eat, beaches to explore and surf and bike rentals. The cabins are very well equipped, well maintained and very cozy, and beautiful gardens. I highly recommend visiting, Nicole and Luis are the best hosts and will help you have a five-star experience! Thank you very much

Pasamos unos días increibles en Casa Viva! Fuimos solo por cuatro días a celebrar el cumpleaños de mi mama y fueron las mejores vacaciones que hemos tenido. Es el perfecto lugar para recargar energías, estar en la naturaleza y relajarse. El lugar es hermoso, súper bien ubicado, en Playa Uva, una de las playas más lindas y tranquilas de la zona, y se podía escuchar el mar desde la cabaña. Estabamos a solo unos pasos del mar y rodeados de una vegetación espectacular, la verdadera Costa Rica! Nos atendieron súper bien desde que hicimos la reservación, nos dieron montones de tips de dónde comer, playas para conocer y surfear y alquileres de bicicletas. Las cabañas están muy bien equipadas, bien mantenidas y son muy acojedoras, y unos jardines hermosísimos. Les recomiendo mucho llegar a visitarles, Nicole y Luis son los mejores hosts y les ayudarán a tener una experiencia cinco estrellas! Muchas gracias

at Casa Viva we had an incredible time! The direct access to the beach and its beautiful gardens will remain forever in our memories. We hope to return
