1bdr Stunning House Uvita Cusinga |  Ocean View - Houses for Rent in Uvita, Puntarenas Province, Costa Rica

Very modern, high above the city of Uvita with a great view and nice furnishings. The house is best reached by a 4x4 vehicle; the road is very steep. But it's worth it. The private pool is also very nice.

Sehr modern, hoch über der Stadt Uvita mit einer tollen Aussicht und schöner Ausstattung. Das Haus ist am besten mit einem 4x4 Fahrzeug erreichbar, die Straße ist sehr steil. Aber es lohnt sich. Auch der private Pool ist sehr schön.

Overall, we enjoyed the stay. It is a beautiful villa with great views. Points deducted for the layout of the villa with the bathroom as a connecting room. The road to the villa and especially the path to the parking lot are extremely steep and a challenge even with a 4-wheel drive vehicle. Otherwise, the place was superbly equipped. There was nothing missing once we were there. The nature was great.

Insgesamt haben wir den Aufenthalt genossen. Es ist eine schöne Villa und tolle Aussicht. Punktabzug für den Schnitt der Villa mit Bad als Durchgangszimmer. Die Straße zur Villa und vor allem der Weg zum Parkplatz extrem steil und auch mit 4x4 eine Herausforderung. Ansonsten war die Unterkunft super ausgestattet. Es hat an nichts gefehlt sobald wir erstmal da waren. Die Natur war toll.

Excellent stay, totally recommended. The ocean view is spectacular, the pool is amazing, and the place is very quiet. The hosts were very friendly and helpful throughout the stay, always willing to help and provide excellent recommendations for restaurants and tours. Thanks to one of your recommendations, we took the whale watching tour and it was an unforgettable experience. Overall, it was a 10/10 experience. We would definitely go back.

Excelente hospedaje, totalmente recomendado. La vista al océano es espectacular, la piscina es increíble y el lugar es muy tranquilo. Los anfitriones fueron muy amables y atentos durante toda la estadía, siempre dispuestos a ayudar y a brindar excelentes recomendaciones de restaurantes y tours. Gracias a una de sus recomendaciones hicimos el tour de avistamiento de ballenas y fue una experiencia inolvidable. En general, fue una experiencia 10/10. Sin duda volveríamos.

The views, decor, and location were stunning! Soaking in the pool at night, was just as good in the am. The manager Jose, met us at the house to show us everything, and did a wonderful walkthrough. We were worried being so high up the mountain about driving to get our groceries at night. Jose even introduced us to a delivery driver that picked up our pizza, groceries, and beer that were delivered right to our door. Oh and they even gave us fresh eggs from the local onsite farm to cook for breakfast! The only cons: We gave them a 4 star, because a bed is very very important when booking a luxury place like this! The bed needed at minimum an egg crate, but we suggest a better mattress as it was very uncomfortable . Also only two towels were provided for us both, for the shower and pool. Two pool towels should have been provided separately for the pool. Hopefully these are items we can request next time. Even at an extra cost, we would have been okay paying…

Comfortable, nice place, everything you need. Recommended.

Lugar cómodo, bonito, todo lo necesario. Recomendado.

Highly recommend. We will be back for sure. The staff is wonderful and always there for whatever you need. Beautiful place to stay!

The property, people and location were all stunning! Stayed for 8 days and really enjoyed being high in the clouds overlooking the bay. The team at Canavida were so warm and hospitable and made the experience extra special in so many ways. They made me feel like they would get the moon for me if I asked.

Christian and the staff were very attentive to us. The house was very nice and well equipped, with a beautiful ocean view.

Christian y el staff fueron muy atentos con nosotros. La casa estaba muy linda y bien equipada con una vista hermosa al mar.

Second time to Costa Rica with another Brother in Christ with me, though first time in Uvita. Felt right at home, the host’s have the best staff on site to help you with anything/ & everything you need. They have a common area with a bunch of activities to do! We were greeted with a proper tour of the Airbnb which was a first for me out of the 5 years I have used this app. They also provided us with fresh farm eggs! The Villa was clean, prepared, nice A/C, beautiful view of the jungle, mountains, and ocean. Safe road up the mountain, very private, secure. The on site manager (administrator) Christian is a very beautiful souled brother. I will certainly return here the next time I am in Uvita. Zero insect issues, hot/ & cold water, has everything you’ll need. Highly recommend this. Faith in Christ Saves you for eternity, No works. Thank you again, Canavida! Or, shall I say, CanaFamilia! God Bless & God Speed, In Jesus Christ Name We Pray, Amen!!!!!!! 🙏🏻✝️🤍

We had a very nice time in Uvita. The house was fantastic and well up to our expectations. We also liked the pool. The staff were super friendly. Clear recommendation looking for a private beautiful and modern home.

Wir hatten eine sehr schöne Zeit in Uvita. Das Haus war traumhaft und hat unsere Erwartungen erfüllt. Der Pool hat uns ebenfalls gut gefallen. Die Mitarbeiter waren super freundlich. Klare Empfehlung, der eine private wunderschöne und moderne Unterkunft sucht.

I 💯 recommend this place. Excellent view and service. Thank you very much for everything.

Recomiendo 💯 este lugar vista y atención excelente muchas gracias por todo

Beautiful place to stay A 10 for cleanliness; the views from the room are beautiful. The service is excellent. I would definitely come back to this place.

Hermoso lugar para hospedarse. Limpieza de 10, las vistas desde la estancia son hermosas. La atención es excelente. Volvería al lugar, sin duda

Stunning villa with stunning sea views. It has all the comforts you could wish for, if not more. Thanks to the entire Canavida team for their availability and their suggestions for activities and restaurants. See you soon, I hope!!!

Superbe villa avec une vue imprenable sur la mer. Il y a tout le confort dont on pourrait souhaiter si ce n’est plus. Merci à toute l’équipe de Canavida pour leur disponibilité et leurs suggestions pour les activités et restaurants. À bientôt je l’espère !!!

The place is just beautiful! With a magical view of the jungle and the ocean! We recommend this listing without hesitation 👍

Logement juste magnifique ! Avec une vue magique sur la jungle et l’ocean ! Nous recommandons ce logement sans hésitation 👍

While the villa was very nice, the advertisement leads you to believe it’s a private home. But it’s actually a villa amongst at least 12 other villas, and they’re all stacked up on top of each other. I could throw a baseball from my pool into my neighbors pool - it was that close. There was also a villa directly above us that looked down into our pool area, it was not private at all. They charge you for everything: $2 for extra towels, $2 for extra toilet paper, etc. It felt more like a Vegas hotel room. The place was very nice and the views were great, but if its privacy and quietness you seek, I suggest you go somewhere else. Especially for the price!

Jessica was perfect  and so was the place, looked just like the pics , was very clean and private,  was like a new place. I would 100% go back. and the view !!!!!!!! wow

Beautiful house, great pool, forest and animals right by the house. We loved it.

wunderschönes Haus, tolles  pool, wald und tiere direkt am Haus. hat uns sehr gefallen

Tidy, nice view, great reception and service.  Host very responsive as well as staff. Good value for the area and quiet.

Very good stay, a breathtaking place! We'll be back!

Très bon séjour , un endroit à couper le souffle ! On reviendra !

A wonderful place to disconnect from the outside world

Maravilloso lugar para desconectarse del mundo exterior

A truly magical stay. This Airbnb is a hidden gem perched on a hilltop in the middle of the jungle. The place itself is beautiful, peaceful, and thoughtfully set up, but the real showstopper is the sunsets — absolutely breathtaking and unforgettable. Watching the sky change colors while surrounded by nature was pure magic.

An excellent place to rest and with an excellent view. We went in the cicada season, so there was a lot of noise but nothing out of this world, just take it into account on those dates

Excelente lugar para descansar y con una excelente vista. Fuimos en temporada de Chicharras entonces había mucho ruido pero nada del otro mundo, solo tomarlo en cuenta en esas fechas

Very friendly hosts and dream views from this beautiful villa.

Sehr freundliche Gastgeber und Traumaussicht von dieser schönen Villa.

Great place to sit and watch all the colorful birds. like us, you may lose trip direction data as you go up the dirt road to the unit but follow the road signs for the main canavida office at the start of the property and they'll guide you home.

Excellent stay. We really enjoyed the stay: the view is very nice, the pool is beautiful, the place is extremely quiet and private, ideal for resting and relaxing. We would definitely come back.

Excelente hospedaje. Disfrutamos mucho la estadía: la vista es muy bonita, la piscina es preciosa, el lugar es sumamente tranquilo y privado, ideal para descansar y relajarse. Sin duda volveríamos.

It's a beautiful place to connect and relax

The house has a beautiful view of the ocean and the whale tail, it was clean and comfortable inside and out. Jessica was very quick to respond to our questions and made sure we were very comfortable during our stay. There’s a huge gas stove, a nice size very cold refrigerator, hot shower, and a grill. We saw hummingbirds right outside our door and other birds flying around in the trees, I even saw and heard a howler monkey. Jessica reserved two tickets on a whale watching tour and we saw a mother and baby humpback whale, that was the highlight of road trip. I recommend Canavida to future travels.

We had an amazing time, we really enjoyed the relax environment, the house is fully equipped for cooking so you just need to bring the food, the bed were really comfortable, in the night you can spot some wild animals nearby, this house have an amazing view to the beach so you can see sunsets, we really enjoy the pool, the road lead to the house require 4x4 vehicle, they should add some non-slip grip surfaces around the pool because it can be very slippery during rainy season, I almost slipped twice, I will definitely come back soon!! I highly recommend this place!!

Beautiful villa was just as pictured. Beautiful view when the clouds cleared. We enjoyed the sounds of the fauna and the beautiful flora around the property. Even with other units around they are all isolated enough to feel private. The road is somewhat rough to get there but we managed it with a 4x2 vehicle even in heavy rains. Canavida staff and Jessica were great with pre arrival instructions, recommendations and always very responsive. We would love to return again soon!!

My husband and I stayed here on our honeymoon and it was perfect! Beautiful sunsets and very peaceful while still being conveniently close to town

Very nice place to relax. I would definitely come back

Lugar muy bonito para relajarse. Definitivamente volvería

Villa CUSINGA is wonderful, beautiful inside, beautiful view and the place is very peaceful. We had a problem with the car to get out of the villa, it's an SUV so a 4x4 is recommended for the slope. They relocated the car parking, it was the best and we appreciate it. All very helpful.

La villa CUSINGA una maravilla, hermosa por dentro, hermosa vista y el lugar con mucha tranquilidad. Tuvimos un inconveniente con el carro para salir de la villa, es un SUV por lo que si es recomendable un 4x4 por la cuesta. Nos reubicaron el parqueo del carro, fue lo mejor y agradecemos. Todos muy serviciales.

Away from the hustle and bustle. Quiet for sleeping and private. A beautiful view. The place is impeccable. Highly recommended. Of course, 4x4 would be better. The house has everything you need. The pool is small, but enough to cool off. The truth is that we were satisfied with the choice.

Alejado del bullicio. Tranquilo para dormir y privado. Una vista bellísima. Impecable el lugar. Súper recomendado. Eso sí, 4x4 sería mejor. La casa tiene de todo lo que se necesite. La piscina pequeña, pero suficiente para refrescarse. La verdad nos vinimos satisfechos con la elección.

Beautiful little house with a great kitchen, pool, and fantastic views. Suitable for two people or a small family. The journey is a bit adventurous, with a gravel road up the mountain for about 14 minutes, but you're rewarded with a fantastic location, stunning nature, and a magnificent view. With a four-wheel drive vehicle, this is no problem, and as a passionate driver, I even enjoyed it 😄. Communication with Jessica and Marce was exceptionally good; I received many proactive tips and useful information about the area – really great. Highly recommended; we felt very comfortable.

Amazing place! Exactly as described and the setting and view is gorgeous! Host and management team were very helpful and responsive with any questions or requests we have. We really enjoyed our stay and would recommend to anyone that enjoys a secluded place with gorgeous views!

Fantastic views! You need a good car to get there. Very good service from Jessica and the team.

Fantásticas vistas! Se necesita un buen coche para llegar. Muy buena atención por parte de Jessica y equipo.

Jessica’s place was perfect. We felt right at home. Very peaceful and breathtaking views! 😍

Loved the view, very nice  place, clean and well equipped with all you could need in the kitchen and the bathroom. The bedroom is confy and fresh

Very nice and private place, I recommend it. Only pool towels were missing.

Lugar muy lindo y privado, lo recomiendo. Solo faltó toallas para la piscina.

We really enjoyed our stay. The location can be a little hard to find the first time, and you will need a 4WD vehicle.  After the first time, it isn’t any problem. Our villa was clean and had everything we needed. The view was fantastic. We would definitely stay there again.

Nice place, very good communication and logistics.

Lindo lugar, muy buena comunicación y logística.

Super amazing host!  We will for sure be back. The owner and all people helped a ton with things to do and see

Great get away from the beach side but still close to everything. Nice to have the 2 separate rooms with the toddlers on the pull out couch. Beautiful sunset!!

Beautiful house, with everything you need and as shown in the photos. Very smooth communication, and a good welcome. The view was spectacular, and on the mountain we could see monkeys and toucans. Super recommended

Hermosa casa, con todo lo necesario y tal como se muestra en las fotos. La comunicación muy fluida, y un buen recibimiento. La vista espectacular, y en la montaña de la par pudimos ver monos y tucanes. Super recomendado

Beautiful place. The hosts are very helpful and friendly. If we have the chance to come back, we will!!

Hermoso lugar. Los anfitriones muy atentos y amables. Sin duda si tenemos la oportunidad de volver lo haremos!!

The views from the top of the mountains is well worth it. The evening time brought a nice cloud forest loved it. The ride to the property I recommend a 4x4 vehicle because once you turn off the Main Street it’s uphill and dirt roads that go up into the mountains and gives it a more explore style feel. Hands down I loved the property Mr Alberto was very responsive.

Jessica’s place was such a beautiful, relaxing place. Definitely recommend for a cozy getaway. Recommend getting a bigger car or truck for the hills heading up to the place. 10/10 recommend , Jessica was extremely helpful too!

This place was the most beautiful we've ever had. We are in our mid-40s and travel extensively to all corners of the world. The villa is located on a hillside overlooking the Pacific, surrounded by tall trees, bushes, flowers, like a small private jungle. Animals come by. We saw a howler monkey, macaws, toucans, lizards. Wonderful. The pool is great. Everything about this place is perfect! We were hidden, private, nestled in a paradise! Communication with Jess and her team left nothing to be desired. We received all the information in a bite-sized way, bookings were made according to our wishes, directions and meeting points were precise. The value is great. Uvita is a sweet place, cozy and not so touristy, everything is quick to reach: bakery, supermarket, two national parks, countless dream beaches and waterfalls. Nevertheless, you have absolute peace in the villa. We have never experienced anything like this. Thank you Canavida!!!🙏👌

Diese Unterkunft war die Schönste, die wir jemals hatten. Wir sind Mitte 40 und reisen extrem viel in alle Ecken der Welt. Die Villa liegt am Hang mit Blick auf den Pazifik, umringt von hohen Bäumen, Büschen, Blüten, wie ein kleiner Privatdschungel. Es kommen Tiere vorbei. Wir sahen einen Brüllaffen, Aras, Tukane, Echsen. Wunderbar. Der Pool ist toll. Alles an dieser Unterkunft ist perfekt! Wir waren versteckt, privat, eingebettet in ein Paradies! Die Kommunikation mit Jess und ihrem Team ließ keine Wünsche offen. Wir bekamen alle Informationen mundgerecht präsentiert, es wurden Buchungen nach unseren Wünschen vorgenommen, Wegbeschreibungen und Treffpunkte waren präzise. Das Preis-Leistungsverhältnis ist super. Uvita ist ein süßer Ort, gemütlich und nicht so touristisch, alles ist schnell zu erreichen: Bäckerei, Supermarkt, zwei Nationalparks, unzählige Traumstrände und Wasserfälle. Trotzdem hat man in der Villa absolute Ruhe. So etwas haben wir noch nicht erlebt. Danke Canavida!!!🙏👌

Nice place, as described in the photos. I would suggest having an organic/recycling waste bin. We live in Costa Rica, a country that aims to care for the environment and the preservation of nature; and it is also the responsibility of the hosts to facilitate recycling and proper waste management.

Lindo lugar , como descrito en las fotos. Les sugeriría tener basurero de productos orgánicos / reciclaje . Vivimos en Costa Rica , un país que pretende preocuparse por el ambiente y la preservación de la naturaleza; y es responsabilidad también de los anfitriones facilitar el reciclaje y el adecuado manejo de desechos .

The Canavida villas are beautifully located on the hillside above Uvita and can be reached in about 15 minutes from the city by car (4x4 recommendation). The house is very modern, spacious and luxurious. We especially appreciated the spacious kitchen with good equipment (fridge, blender, grill, knife block) and the beautiful bedroom. The hosts contributed with passion to ensure that we had a nice and relaxing stay. They are proactive in informing about the environment, possible activities and were always available for inquiries & feedback. They were also flexible at check-in and check-out. An absolute highlight was the massage they organized on the terrace. A great recommendation for relaxing days in this beautiful region (beaches, national parks, local markets, etc.).

Die Canavida-Villen sind wunderschön am Hang oberhalb Uvita gelegen und ca. in 15 Min. von der Stadt mit dem Auto (4x4 Empfehlung) erreichbar. Das Haus ist sehr modern, grosszügig und luxuriös. Wir schätzten vor allem die grosszügige Küche mit guter Ausstattung (Kühlschrank, Mixer, Grill, Messerblock) und das wunderschöne Schlafzimmer. Die Gastgeber haben mit Herzblut dazu beigetragen, dass wir einen schönen und entspannten Aufenthalt hatten. Sie sind von Beginn an proaktiv am Informieren über die Umgebung, mögliche Aktivitäten und standen stets zur Verfügung für Anfragen & Feedback. Ebenso waren sie bei Check-in und -out flexibel. Ein absolutes Highlight war die durch sie organisierte Massage auf der Terasse. Eine grosse Emfehlung für entspannte Tage in dieser wunderschönen Region (Strände, Nationalpärke, lokale Märkte usw.).

We had a magical stay above Uvita. Jessica was super welcoming and helpful throughout our 9 day stay, always available via text and couldn’t do enough for us. The house is stunning, all homemade wooden furniture, comfy bed, and a very well equipped kitchen. The location is incredible, we saw lots of amazing birds, insects, monkeys and coatis right from the balcony. And we actually liked being a bit away from town itself, it was very peaceful and a bit cooler being up the hill.

The place is very beautiful, we recommend a 4x4 or a high 4x2 car so that it doesn't suffer too much, and the place is a natural spectacle and the hosts are very friendly and helpful.

El lugar es muy hermoso , recomendamos un carro 4x4 o un 4x2 alto para que no sufra mucho, ya en el lugar es un espectáculo natural y los anfitriones muy amables y atentos.

Canavida it’s an amazing place! I'll recommend 100%. Please make you a favor and go there to have a peaceful and happy time

Thank you sooo much for your kinds words Jeffry !!! We are so happy you enjoyed your time with us and hope you will return soon !!!

Beautiful condominium with a private pool, overlooking Bahía Ballena. The house is basically new, equipped with everything you need for a pleasant and comfortable stay! Totally recommended!

Bellísimo condominio con piscina privada, con vista a Bahía Ballena. La casa está básicamente nueva, equipada con todo lo necesario para una estancia amena y confortable! Totalmente recomendado!

The house is absolutely beautiful and like new and exactly as shown in the photos.  The king size bed was very comfortable. Be aware the home is private but you are in a rural area so driving in and out to the property will take about 20 mins each way. The view and sunsets are spectacular.  Loved the view and the private pool was a definite treat! Everything worked well and the kitchen was great for cooking and was very well equipped.

The place is very nice with a nice view, however the bed is uncomfortable and we did not have hot water.

El lugar muy bonito con linda vista, sin embargo la cama es incomoda y no tuvimos agua caliente.

Beautiful property. Beautiful home, but not the most functional or comfortable. Pros: -Alberto was wonderfully helpful and accommodating! He deserves 10 stars! -Jessica was very available to answer questions and help with issues! -Beautiful view of the ocean + saw lots of toucans from our balcony. It was also fun hearing the howler monkeys during the day. -Very nice outdoor space- perfect for relaxing and reading or enjoying the sunsets! Cons: -The bed was surprisingly not comfortable. We are not picky sleepers, but had a hard time getting a good-night sleep. We ended up asking for extra pillows which did help! - No where to hang clothes or towels. -There is a house neighboring above this rental, and unfortunately the guests staying there while we were there were very loud and vulgar. Which put a damper on trying to enjoy the outdoor space while they were using theirs. Overall we enjoyed our stay, but felt like the cons were worth noting for future guests to be aware of!🤍🌴🌸

We had a great time staying here! We loved the location but would definitely recommend a 4 wheel drive vehicle because of the trek to get to the house. Our stay was lovely and they were very easy to get in touch with!

The house is not suitable for more than two people. The third person has to sleep on a very uncomfortable sofa. Unfortunately, we were fooled by the two differently made beds on the pictures in this regard. When we arrived, nothing was prepared for the third person. Unfortunately, the view is also a little worse than the photos suggest. However, the immediately surrounding nature was very nice. There is a small mini market, so you don't always have to drive the long way to the supermarket.

Das Haus ist nicht für mehr als zwei Personen geeignet. Die dritte Person muss auf einem sehr unbequemen Sofa schlafen. Diesbezüglich haben wir uns leider von den zwei unterschiedlich bezogenen Betten auf den Bildern täuschen lassen. Als wir ankamen war für die dritte Person auch erst nichts vorbereitet. Die Aussicht ist leider auch etwas schlechter als die Fotos es erwarten lassen. Die unmittelbar umgebende Natur war jedoch sehr schön. Es gibt einen kleinen Mini-Markt, wodurch man nicht immer den weiten Weg bis zum Supermarkt fahren muss.

“Thank you so much for your review and for sharing your experience with us. We’re truly sorry to hear that one of the beds didn’t meet your expectations. We value your feedback and will make it clearer in the future that the house is designed for couples and families in mind. Your input helps us improve, and we appreciate you bringing this to our attention. We’ll work to ensure an even better experience for your next visit. Thank you again for staying with us!”

The place itself was beautiful! I would say that this place is more for a relaxing off the grid kind of vacation; you get some groceries and stay in. If you want to explore town I’d suggest renting a 4x4 or getting a place at the bottom of the mountain. It was very difficult to find a driver to take us down the mountain to restaurants on uber. Also taxis would charge us almost $40 to take us from and back.

Canavida was amazing. The staff was very helpful and friendly and the property was perfect. Amazing views and wildlife with lots of different birds, monkeys and butterflies. It was so great, I even booked an additional week after just a few days here.

This place is beyond anything you could imagine. We have seen so much wildlife from our bed… can you even dream that? From tucans, monkeys, parrots to even an anteater!!🥹 This house, with full privacy and an amazing pool that looks over the jungle is something you only see in movies! The house also has absolutely everything you want, and waking up with that view is priceless. We say, book before it’s full. It will only be a short time until this diamond is discovered. The only bad side, you have to leave. We will be back! Thanks to the host for making us feel so welcome in their paradise🦜 By far the best place we have ever been😍

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We are overjoyed that your experience reflected our vision of going above and beyond to create unforgettable memories. It’s amazing to hear that you got to witness the incredible wildlife and biodiversity that surrounds us—it’s truly one of the most special parts of our little slice of heaven. We’re so grateful for your visit and thrilled that your stay was so memorable. You have our direct contact, and it would be our pleasure to host you again. The door is always wide open for your return! Pura Vida ❤️🌴🌺🦜🩷

We really enjoyed our stay. The view is fantastic, the place is clean & chic, and the pool is very inviting. Unfortunately, in our case, it rained most of the time limiting our ability to enjoy many of these benefits. 🙁 However, the staff was extremely attentive and exceeded expectations. We did get to Uvita beach one morning when there was sun and we checked out the Whales Tale. We had fun on a zipline waterfall tour. (You get wet so rain was not an issue!) Generally speaking there is lots to do in the area. Recommendations: - Bring some head lamps as Costa Rica’s electricity does not work 100% of the time. They came in handy for us. - You’ll definitely want a 4-wheel drive SUV as the 15-min drive up the “stone path” to this place has some very steep sections and deep potholes.

Thank you for you kinds words and for choosing Canavida Resort and Villas for your getaway. It was truly a pleasure hosting you and your wife🌴🌺🦜we are happy you enjoyed every moment of your stay—from the breathtaking ocean views to the tranquil privacy of your villa. We’re thrilled that you chose to experience our little paradise with us, and we hope the memories you made here will stay with you for years to come and that you will revisit in the future !!! Pura Vida 😊🙏

Airbnb doesn’t allow 6-star ratings, but this property deserves so. Beautiful surrounding nature, peaceful location, new amenities and super friendly host/staff. We 100% intend to come back and we completely recommend others to stay in this apartment or in other of Canavida’s flats.

Giancarlo, wow thank you for your kind words and support this means the workd to us 😊🙏we are very happy you enjoyed every moment and your experience at Canavida and hope to see you again .

We had a really nice stay here at Villa Cusinga, Uvita, private, beautiful view, it was our home base for visiting the area. Unit looks like the pictures, feels like you are completely surrounded by nature. Jessica and her team were very helpful in answering our questions, and helped book a last minute tour for us (Mangrove Kayaking, definitely recommend!) Some things to note about the unit: 1) You definitely need a 4x4 to reach the property, about 4.5km or 15 mins of driving once getting off the main road. 2) There are no towel hooks or hangers in the unit anywhere, this was a bit of an inconvenience as we were visiting in rainy season, and had to makeshift hanging our clothes and towels in random places in the unit (curtain rods / on chairs). These fundamentals are needed at this price point 3) There only way to get between the bedroom and living room inside is through the bathroom. Inconvenient during a rainstorm when your partner is in the bathroom! But otherwise not an issue!

This is a very beautiful place and worth the trip. I recommend for anyone looking for a beautiful view with lots of privacy and things to do.

Thank you for your support Robert, it was our pleasure to host you and we hope you will return someday for more adventure at Canavida and in the beautiful Costa Rica

Comfortable, private, full of nature, good internet speed to work, attentive and with good communication.

Cómodo, privado, repleto de naturaleza, buena velocidad de internet para trabajar, atentos y con buena comunicación.

This place was beautiful and very peaceful! The hosts were super responsive and communicative. Would definitely stay here again!

Beautiful place, breathtaking views, very quiet.

Bello lugar, vistas impresionantes, muy tranquilo.

Had a wonderful stay, was exactly what we were looking for. It was a beautiful home, secluded and very peaceful. The pool was greatly enjoyed! Hosts had many recommendations and always responded promptly. Communication was great. Would definitely stay here again! Thank you for the stay!

My husband and I (from US) visited this Airbnb as part of our honeymoon trip. The listing on Airbnb was beautiful, but actually experiencing this stay was 100x better. It is beautiful, peaceful, and we were able to enjoy the lush nature surrounds as well as watch the beautiful jungle birds in their natural habitats. Definitely recommend for couples.

Thank you so much for your beautiful review and your kind words!!! It was such a pleasure receiving you in our little paradise and we hope you will be revisiting soon !!! Happy honeymoon and Pura Vida ☀️🌴🌼🦎

The accommodation is beautiful, the view is spectacular, it has everything you need to spend an excellent vacation. If I would recommend going in 4x4 since they are about 15m of gravel road until you reach the location and the park is a little complicated, but it's totally worth it, we had a great time! 😊

El hospedaje es precioso, la vista es espectacular, tiene todo lo necesario para pasar unas excelentes vacaciones. Si recomendaría ir en 4x4 ya que son unos 15m de camino de grava hasta llegar a la ubicación y el parqueo es un poco complicado, pero vale totalmente la pena, la pasamos genial! 😊

My boyfriend and I stayed 5 days in this beautiful paradise surrounded by the colors and sounds of nature just 20 minutes by car from downtown Uvita. The place and view are lovely. The availability and kindness of the Host were admirable. Truly happy and satisfied to have chosen House Cusinga!!! Thanks :-) Greetings from Italy 🇮🇹

Io e il mio ragazzo abbiamo soggiornato 5 giorni in questo splendido paradiso circondato dai colori e dai suoni della natura a soli 20 minuti di auto dal centro di Uvita. L’alloggio e la vista sono incantevoli. La disponibilità e la gentilezza dell’Host sono state ammirevoli. Veramente felici e soddisfatti di aver scelto House Cusinga!!! Grazie :-) Saluti dall’Italia 🇮🇹

Everything is great, it's just as described. We've had a very pleasant few days. The super attentive and helpful staff and great communication. The kitchen was surprisingly well equipped with everything you need, it was not missing detail. To mention something, we miss a hanger or coat rack in order to hang the towels in the bathroom and dry. Very good experience, highly recommended

Todo genial, es tal cual se describe. Hemos pasado unos días muy agradables. El personal super atento y servicial y la comunicación estupenda. La cocina estaba sorprendentemente bien equipada con todo lo necesario, no le faltaba detalle. Por mencionar algo, echamos en falta algún colgador o perchero para poder colgar las toallas del baño y que se sequen. Muy buena experiencia, muy recomendable

Amazing place, in the middle of the jungle, beautiful ocean view. They recommended the whale tour which was AMAZING. Highly recommended.

Such a pleasure to have hosted you 😊 thank you for your visit and we hope to see you again soon.

Thanks a lot, we had a great time. A 4x4 car is needed. Very good location, close to BM supermarket and restaurants such as Maracuyá and Santa Burguesa. It's a perfect spot for a mountain and beach getaway. We really enjoyed it, Pura Vida!

Muchas gracias, la pasamos súper bien. Se necesita un carro 4x4. Muy buena ubicación, cerca del supermercado BM y restaurantes como Maracuyá y Santa Burguesa. Es el lugar perfecto para una escapada de montaña y playa. Disfrutamos muchísimo, ¡pura vida!

¡Una experiencia increíble! Espero volver pronto

A stunning place very quiet was spectacular

Lugar impresionante muy tranquilo estuvo espectacular

Great little house with amazing views of the ocean.  Secluded and private with everything you might need for a short visit.  A bit tricky to park backing down and the layout a bit awkward but nothing major and the positives far outweigh any small concerns.  Jessica was great on communication and Alberto was very friendly on site.

Amazing place to with incredible views and super accommodating host. Thank you

Everything about the Villa was better than we had expected. The views over the ocean are breathtaking and the birds flying in and out of the jungle are beautiful. I would highly recommend Canavida as a place to stay. The road in is steep and bumpy so I would recommend hiring a 4wd if flying in to Costa Rica, just to make it a more comfortable ride. We did it in a 2wd but took it slowly. The hosts communicate regularly and are extremely responsive to any request or question. The wifi is excellent, we bought groceries at the BM supermarket at the bottom of the hill and didn’t need to leave for the week. Very happy and definitely hope to be back.

This house has the best sunset view I’ve seen in all of Costa Rica. The house is gorgeous and perfect for a couple’s getaway. I will say that the road to get to the unit is still underdeveloped so if you arrive at night make sure you have gone shopping for groceries and other needs before driving up.
