Newly Remodeled Grand Opening Pricing - Houses for Rent in Uvita, Puntarenas Province, Costa Rica

This place is amazing! The view is spectacular and the home was perfect for our family of six with four teens. Loved the cozy beds, the living area with plenty of room for all of us, the incredible bathrooms, the stocked kitchen, the pool, the yoga studio, and especially the private access to the beach! We enjoyed boogie boarding, surfing, watching crabs, and witnessing the most spectacular sunset any of us had ever seen! Cynthia left no stone unturned. She knows her stuff! If we ever make it back to CR, we most definitely will book one of her places again.

Absolutely beautiful home, even better than the photos. The views were incredible! Cynthia was an amazing host, she was extremely helpful and responsive. Having all of our tours/massages/private chef/transportation from the airport being set up before arriving was all next level of ease. I could not recommend this beautiful air bnb enough. Thank you for such a beautiful vacation!

This house is AMAZING!  The house sits on a mountain in a rainforest and everything about it was breathtaking. The views were spectacular. The inside was very nicely done and it accommodated our family perfectly. In addition the house offers a private beach access which was convenient. Cynthia was very responsive to our messages and her recommendations for places to visit and eat as well as activities were perfect. Her recommendations were a 10 out of 10. Every time we went somewhere that Cynthia recommended, the kids would say that Cynthia strikes again (because we all loved the places she suggested).

The place was very clean and we felt at home from check in to check out.  Cynthia was a great host who was flexible with the check in, helpful and very responsive.  We had an issue with the safe in the home and a small issue with the pool and she responded and took care of the problems immediately.  She had a clear and organized check in with many great recommendations.  We would happily stay here again.  Great experience.

Our family had a wonderful stay at this beautiful retreat. The fully stocked kitchen, refreshing pool, and comfortable beds made it easy to relax and feel at home. What truly made the experience unforgettable were the breathtaking ocean views and the incredible abundance of wildlife surrounding the property. Waking up to the toucans and parrots each day was a special experience, and the private access to a gorgeous beach was amazing!  We would gladly stay here again.

Thank you for staying with us and so happy that you had such a good time

Amazing time! The beach access really made this stay special. Thank you so much!

Cynthia is a very sweet and special person. The house is spectacular, surrounded by flora and fauna, with a beautiful view of the sea.

Thank you for the very kind review we’d love to host you again

This is the second time we've rented this house. We would come back anytime. The view is spectacular, with several toucans, hummingbirds, etc., every day. The private beach access is amazing. Many thanks!

Thanks for the review and we hope you will come again

Our stay here was absolutely incredible—truly one of those places that’s hard to put into words. The views are gorgeous, stunning, and completely breathtaking, especially at sunset. You feel like you’re tucked into the jungle while still overlooking the ocean—such a rare combination. The house itself is just as impressive. The pool is amazing the kids ne and perfectly positioned to take in the scenery. The kitchen is beautiful and well-equipped, and the living room is so comfortable. The bathrooms deserve their own mention—they’re like indoor-outdoor retreats, giving you that “in the jungle” experience in the best possible way. One of the highlights was the wildlife we saw right from the patio! The private beach across the street is the highlight! A private oasis!! So much to do nearby- explored waterfalls, horse-backed on the beach and ate delicious food! We also had massages and chefs come to the house. I can’t wait to come back- Pura Vida! Thank you for everything

My family loved their time in Costa Rica and this house set a peace-filled daily reset!

We had an incredible stay at Cynthia’s Place in Uvita. This property is truly something special. The home sits in what feels like your own private tropical paradise, surrounded by lush greenery and the sounds of nature. The swimming pool is the centerpiece and perfect for relaxing after a day of exploring. One of the standout features is the private access to the beach, which made early morning walks and sunset views feel peaceful and secluded. The location is also ideal, with several beautiful restaurants nearby. Cielo Alto restaurant was our favorite. The views are stunning and the food made the experience even better. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Uvita.

We had an absolutely wonderful stay. The home is so beautiful we spent many days just relaxing and enjoying the pool and lush surroundings. It seemed as if we had our own nature sanctuary for the week. Highly recommend.

My best Airbnb experience in Costa Rica! Highly recommended.

Absolutely magical stay in this villa with stunning sea views. The sunsets and sunrises were spectacular. The house is exceptionally comfortable: full kitchen, very comfortable beds, warm spaces.
The treehouse was a favorite: forest views, toucans during the shower, total immersion. Underneath the treehouse, a training area with weights allows you to exercise surrounded by monkeys and birds.
Incredible wildlife: howler monkeys, toucans, hummingbirds, iguanas, a multitude of birds. The pool with ocean views and the outdoor sofa to relax are unforgettable.
Great location near restaurants and shops (4x4 recommended). Access to a private beach 2 km away. Available host, complimentary concierge service.
There were 5 of us and we would return without hesitation.

Séjour absolument magique dans cette villa avec vue imprenable sur la mer. Les couchers et levers de soleil étaient spectaculaires. La maison est d’un confort exceptionnel : cuisine complète, lits très confortables, espaces chaleureux. La cabane dans les arbres a été un coup de cœur : vue sur la forêt, toucans pendant la douche, immersion totale. Sous la cabane, un espace d’entraînement avec poids permet de s’exercer entouré des singes et des oiseaux. Faune incroyable : singes hurleurs, toucans, colibris, iguanes, multitude d’oiseaux. La piscine avec vue sur l’océan et le divan extérieur pour relaxer sont inoubliables. Emplacement idéal près des restaurants et commerces (4x4 recommandé). Accès à une plage privée à 2 km. Hôte disponible, service de concierge offert. Nous étions 5 et y retournerions sans hésiter.

Our 15 days stay at Casa de Paz was a perfect winter getaway. The house was as described with great ocean views and lots of local wildlife.
The beach was very private and ideal for all beach activities. Recommended restaurants were all close by and provided a taste of local cuisine.  Cynthia was a great host. She met us at the house and made sure all of our needs were met. We would definitely stay here again.

The location is great...amazing view and secluded (yet, close proximity to Uvita).  As many have said, access to the nearby beach was one of our favorites.  The main house is beautifully decorated and well accommodated.  Our group of 8 adults spent most of our time outside - swimming , watching the sunset, eating, reading, napping...it's a great layout with various areas to relax however you wish.

Cynthia was very responsive during our stay.  She provided great recommendations (particularly, local sights and restaurants) and scheduled a chef for a lovely NYE dinner.

We found the treehouse rooms to be drastically different accommodations than the main house guest rooms ~ like 2-3 star rooms at a 4-5 star resort.  We experienced quite a few 'inconveniences'; though, Cynthia was responsive to these issues and tried to 'make things right' (even on a holiday).  Additionally, she was receptive to our recommendations for making it a more comfortable stay for future guests.     

Pura Vida!

Thank you for the review. Glad you had a good time despite a few inconveniences

We had an amazing stay. The house was gorgeous and incredibly well thought out, with a great kitchen and seamless indoor outdoor living that made spending time by the pool a highlight. The beds were very comfortable with high quality bedding and towels, and we loved having access to the yoga studio for daily classes. We also took full advantage of the host’s help booking activities like canyoning, rafting, and whale watching, all of which were fantastic. The private beach was our favorite of all the ones we visited, and Cynthia was extremely responsive with thoughtful recommendations in a binder that quickly became our go to guide for the trip.

This home is an absolute gem! The home itself and especially the views are even more beautiful than the pictures. We felt right at home and had everything we needed. Enjoying the outdoor space and the view were so recharging and even though we had so much planned in Uvita we wished we could just stay at the home. We had one small issue and Cynthia was quick to respond and have it fixed.  The hosts are super responsive and the recommendations and services they provide really made our trip special. If you are traveling to Uvita I highly recommend you book this amazing home!

Thank you for your review and so glad that you had such a good time

Beautiful ocean facing property. We had a great time. The house had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The kids loved the tree house!

Most amazing place we have ever stayed. Peaceful and tranquil with great amenities. Felt like you were living right in the rainforest with incredible view of the ocean; just breathtaking. Teenage sons loved sleeping in the treehouse. Pool was a blast for all three kids and parents enjoyed time on lounge chairs and relaxing in the outdoor living room. Loved the outdoor showers and the shower in treehouse with full wall mirror that made you feel like you were showering in the trees. Gated entry and secluded road up the mountainside made you feel completely safe and the property was very private; we never heard or saw another person while at the house. Kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed. The beach chairs and boogey boards were also enjoyed during our many visits to the beach. And the private beach was gorgeous! It is truly a magnificent and unique property that our entire family enjoyed. We would absolutely stay here again if returning to this part of Costa Rica. Thanks!

Thanks for staying with us. We loved having you

Without Cynthia's suggestions I wouldn't have known where to start planning a trip to Uvita. Everything she suggested was perfect. From the friendly and informative driver picking us up at the airport, to the rental car waiting on us at the house, and the fun excursions. It all worked out as planned and was great!...The house looks just like the photos. We saw toucans everyday along with many varieties of hummingbirds and lizards. The house is surprisingly bug free even though there are open air aspects. The bedroom air conditioning works great! No mosquitos at night in the rooms with the air on. That was an important factor for me with kids especially......The kids loved seeing the giant grasshoppers outside and the cute little geckos everywhere. The views are spectacular from both houses! Rain or shine you can't go wrong here.....The beach access is truly private and it's beautiful.....This was an epic family adventure we will never forget. Pura Vida!

So glad that you had such a good time.  We hope you will come again and tell your friends.  Thanks for the great review

Amazing! This is the best AirBnB I’ve ever stayed in.  I can’t imagine coming to CR and not coming back here.

We were looking for a private beautiful sanctionary to completely disconnect and found it. The home photographs well and the photos come alive when you arrive. Imagine living in your own exotic luxury aviary with ocean view in resort luxury with a peaceful jungle sound track playing in the background. This is a special property. We underutilized Cynthia and her concierge team by design but they literally went out of their way to respond to every question and request we made. Their local knowledge and support will ensure your visit is exceptional. Close private beach access provided by Cynthia was a bonus luxury we hadn't even anticipated before our visit.

Thank you Brian, so glad that you had a good time.  Please pass on to your friends and come again

Stunning home. Comfortable and great views.  True gem

The views are just breathtaking! We saw monkeys and toucans and lots of birds. We will definitely stay again! Thank you Cynthia!

Thanks for staying with us . We hope you will come again

Casa de Paz was exactly as the listing described.  Cynthia greeted us at the house, was thorough with giving us all of the info we needed including recommendations.  There were many thoughtful touches inside and out. We truly felt like we were in paradise!

Amazing location, house and host!!! Nothing but good things to say about our recent vacation to Costa Rica. The house was exactly what we wanted for our 3 kids - the treehouse was the perfect spot for them to have their own space and the main house was fabulous with comfortable beds and bathrooms. Kitchen was well equipped for when we cooked at home but the outside pool and patio were the icing on the cake - spent most of our time outside and even saw monkeys cross by one afternoon. Cynthia helped arrange all of our excursions and made recommendations for restaurants. Best trip we have ever taken. You won’t want to miss this experience trust me. Book the house and get ready to experience paradise on earth.

My family (2 adults & 4 kids ages 7-14) loved Cynthia’s place. The location was perfect- close to everything we wanted to do but nestled in the middle of a jungle. The private beach access was fantastic- just a short drive and never busy. It was like our own personal paradise. The house itself was epic- it had everything we needed for a comfortable visit. The beds were comfortable, showers warm, towels fluffy, and the kitchen well stocked. Everything was clean and we enjoyed using the provided boogie boards and beach gear. The casita/treehouse was a big hit with the kids. We saw hummingbirds and lizards daily and loved the view from the patio. Cynthia’s excellent communication and help planning activities and transportation made our trip run smoothly (highly recommend booking transportation with Erick!). The kids cried upon leaving and we can’t wait to come back. Don’t hesitate to book this spot!

We loved having you. Your family was just delightful

Thank you so much for sharing your amazing home with our family. We couldn’t get enough of the stunning animals and plant life-visible from every angle of this home….the treehouse and jungle shower were so inviting and the main home wraps around you like a hug….the layout and amenities are extremely thoughtful throughout!! We had everything we needed and more. The views from the pool and beach were absolutely breathtaking….Cynthia’s recommendations were spot on and helped us to make the most of our time:) We simply can’t wait to return!

Great spot! Need 4x4 to get up. Private beach access is a big ++

Thanks we think the beach is pretty spectacular too

AMAZING, best Airbnb experience ever—and we have 10 years + of US and international stays. La casa de la Paz was everything we could have dreamed of and more for our special family vacation. The house is as comfortable as it is unique and beautiful, more than the photos capture. Some of our highlights: a “fully loaded” house allowed for delicious meals and we even made a birthday cake for my husband’s birthday; fabulous showers and super luxe bedrooms; 2 extra comfortable living rooms-inside and out- that allowed for fun family games, movies and hanging out. We loved the Pacífic ocean view and yoga time on the deck. And the pool provided hours upon hours of fun. The location was ideal and Cynthia is a top-notch concierge host, which ensured that we had great adventures zip lining, exploring water falls, surfing, and rafting. Absolutely beyond spectacular vacation and we would love to return.

Just like the pictures…..a true gem! We enjoyed being surrounded by the beauty of Uvita. The private beach was beyond our expectations. Cynthia made trip planning easy by booking our airport transportation, rental car and making excellent suggestions for restaurants and excursions. Our family of 6 (including teens) enjoyed horseback riding at the waterfall and whitewater rafting. Take the trip….pura vida!

Thanks for staying with us. We hope you will come again

Our stay was PERFECT!  Fabulous - a true gem!!!!  Our family was blessed by a beautiful home in a beautiful jungle with a beautiful beach!!!  No words can describe it but we are already planning our next trip back.

Thanks for staying with us we hope you will come again

Beautiful home with wonderful views of the ocean.

The vibe is "coexisting with nature" so if you aren't a fan of encountering bugs of any kind then you may have a tough time here as there are openings where bugs can enter (especially when attracted to light). I am not a huge fan of bugs, but I found it tolerable by reducing the light inside the house and leaving the outside lights on at night. Cynthia's recommendations for excursions were fantastic and kept us busy everyday of our stay! We had an amazing adventure vacation, watched toucans fly between trees in the mornings, and ate fantastic meals on the patio at night. I also used every shower and the treehouse shower is a must! It's literally showering in the rainforest! My friends and I thoroughly enjoyed our time in Cynthia's house and would definitely stay here again!

Thank you for staying with us. Please come back again

Our family stay at this villa was just amazing! The location of the villa is fantastic, with a breathtaking view of the sea and the surrounding nature. The private beach of Cynthia and all other attractions made it easy for us to enjoy the beauty of this area. The villa itself was equipped with everything we needed and more! The kitchen was well equipped, the pool was wonderfully refreshing, and the rooms were clean and cozy. We felt at home from the first moment. A special thank you goes to our host, who impressed us with his kindness and helpfulness. He was always there for us with tips and recommendations and helped us make our stay memorable. Overall, we can fully recommend this villa. Thank you for the wonderful time, and we hope to come back again soon! Warm regards

Unser Familien-Aufenthalt in diser Villa war einfach fantastisch! Die Lage der Villa ist traumhaft, mit einem atemberaubenden Blick auf das Meer und die umliegende Natur. Der Privat-Strand von Cynthia und alle anderen Sehenswürdigkeiten machten es uns leicht, die Schönheit dieser Gegend zu geniessen. Die Villa selbst war mit allem ausgestattet, was wir brauchten, und noch mehr! Die Küche war gut ausgestattet, der Pool war herrlich erfrischend, und die Zimmer waren sauber und gemütlich. Wir fühlten uns vom ersten Moment an wie zu Hause. Ein besonderer Dank geht an unseren Gastgeber, der uns mit seiner Freundlichkeit und Hilfsbereitschaft beeindruckt hat. Er stand uns jederzeit mit Tipps und Empfehlungen zur Seite und trug maßgeblich dazu bei, dass unser Aufenthalt unvergesslich wurde. Insgesamt können wir diese Villa uneingeschränkt empfehlen. Vielen Dank für die wundervolle Zeit, und wir hoffen, bald wiederzukommen! Herzliche Grüsse

We (family, 3 kids between 8 and 13) had a wonderful time in this house. It is a very nice house with a fantastic view on the sea. This was the nicest house we have stayed in Costa Rica and we highly recommend it and immediately come back resp. would recommend it to our friends. We like the style of the house a lot, everything is there what you need - even things for the beach (e.g. cooling box, chairs, bodyboards, etc.) Every morning we have heard the howler monkeys, toucans have eaten from the papaya tree in the garden, many birds have visited us and some built their nest behind the window of the bathroom. Very nicely located in the middle of the nature. And on top their is a very nice beach with private access a 3 min drive from the house down to the sea. We have spent a lot of time there with our kids. There are multiple good restaurants in both directions, with only a short drive from the house. in short: the perfect house, quite and with superb view.

This property is just as amazing as the photos & the reviews! Seriously, if you are looking in the Uvita area, THIS IS THE SPOT! Not only is it chalked full of wildlife, the view & private access to a beautiful beach were the icing on the cake! Cynthia was very helpful with restaurant & tour recommendations! It was truly one of the best vacations we have ever had!!! Pure Vide!!!

Our favorite house we’ve stayed at in Costa Rica! Extremely clean, very well equipped and so comfortable. And the view!! The hosts are extremely helpful and very responsive. We will absolutely stay here again the next time we’re in the area.

Everything was exactly what we were hoping for. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us!

You are so welcome. Please come and see us again

This was our second time staying at one of Cynthia’s homes and we have had the best experiences both times. The home and casita are cozy and clean with a beautiful view of the water. We saw so many toucans and even were visited by monkeys a couple of times. Cynthia, Karol and Ozzie were all extremely knowledgeable and had great suggestions for places to go and things to do. You won’t be disappointed!

Thank you for the great review and so happy that you had a good time

This villa in Uvita was amazing.  The view was lovely.  Toucans came to visit regularly as well as a host of other rain forest critters.  We enjoyed the pool and especially the outdoor living/eating area.  The shower is unique and brings nature inside.  There were a bunch of pool noodles etc for us to use and beach chairs etc also.  For a family or multiple couples, the treehouse cottage is a great bonus space.  Uvita itself is a little off the beaten track- which was just what we were looking for.  The beach at Marino Ballena was breathtaking.  We parked in the lot just prior to the entrance. We did an ATV tour through Jungle ATV in Uvita which was fantastic!   Overall, we had a great stay.

Thank you for the great review. Come back and see us again, we would love to have you

We absolutely love Casa de Paz, it was stunning and perfect for a birthday trip with family. It wqs so great we are already planning for when we will return!

If I could give more stars I would! From the home, to the views , to the above and beyond care that Cynthia gave us: it was a vacation and stay that will be hard to beat!

Cynthia’s home is a wonderful gem in a beautiful country. The ocean views, pool, tree house, and toucans in the trees made for a relaxing, peaceful, memorable experience for my family. We did two excursions recommended (mangrove tour and whale watching) and they were amazing! This was our first time visiting Costa Rica and i’m so glad we found this home. Don’t hesitate to book!

The most beautiful part of Costa Rica you’ll ever stay in. It is off the beaten path and beautiful. Lots of wildlife and magical surroundings. The bugs are LARGE in Costa Rica. Don’t expect to stay in the middle of the jungle and not see any! The wildlife around us was part of the magic of the experience. Private beach close by beat any of the well trafficked beaches and amazing food recommendations. Cynthia and Karole were so helpful and the home was absolutely beautiful. We’d return in a second.

We loved our stay, everything was perfect. The house is even better than the pictures and the beach with private access is simply amazing.

The house is beautiful, super comfortable and has a breathtaking view. The rehouse is really cool and a nice place to work or read.

Thank you for staying with us. We hope you come back again

This was the perfect home… literally!  The host thought of everything to make our stay beyond amazing! Fresh flowers in just about every room. Outside dining and living area with pool and views to die for make you never want to leave!  The beds and sheets were super comfortable. The two bathrooms in the main bedrooms were indescribable… indoors, yet outdoors bringing the beautiful nature and breeze into shower with you, making it an experience you will never forget! The kitchen was well stocked with all appliances and cooking equipment necessary as well as outdoor grill. All our excursions were planned by the host who highly recommended them and they did not disappoint!  There is not one thing i would change about our stay at this stunning home which was conveniently located near wonderful restaurants, grocery store and activities.  In addition the private beach which we had access to was the icing on the cake!  Our stay was perfect!

Amazing house in the jungle with a great view of the pacific ocean. Beds are great and the pool is refreshingly nice in the summer heat. Don’t miss out!

A wonderful vacation - our family with 3 adult children had plenty of space to spread out. The beach was gorgeous - peaceful and pretty much all to ourselves. Cynthia responded to all of our questions and provided wonderful recommendations for local restaurants, Los Laureles in particular - we went twice! Loved having the concierge service - from our driver, to rental car arrangements, to booking a private chef; it really made our time so much more relaxing. Highly recommend the coffee tour to Don Emilio’s, felt like part of the family. Hope to come again sometime soon.

Beautiful home. We loved sitting outside in the mornings watching the birds.    Cynthia & Karol were very helpful with questions & booking activities for us. Really enjoyed our stay.

Great thanks for the input on that we will move the camera

Most beautiful place with thoughtful, complete amenities, comfortable beds and linens, spacious and private rooms and comfy family gathering rooms. Architecturally designed for true open air experience and ac if desired for skeeping comfort. Secure and easily accessible with 4WD.

We had a wonderful time at this house.  It was a beautiful setting and exactly what we had hoped for with the view of the ocean and the jungle.  The pool and deck were amazing and inviting.  The treehouse was perfect for our kids as well.  We were able to make wonderful memories together as a family.  Fabulous place and location!

A truly outstanding stay. Exceeded our expectations in every way - top notch setting, pristine accommodations. Access to the private beach was an over the top bonus. Cynthia made excellent recommendations that really helped us hit the best spots and experience the best that the area has to offer. Couldn’t recommend this spot enough.

It’s everything you could ask for in a dreamy, relaxed Costa Rican family vacation. Thank you to Cynthia, Karol and Chef Pablo for making our vacation a once in a lifetime experience. Can’t wait to return.

This beautiful, welcoming space has everything you need for an amazing vacation.  Immaculately maintained, idyllic views, and really comfortable outdoor living spaces. Cynthia is the perfect host...so helpful and responsive. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

We loved our stay at Casa de Paz. The pictures didn't do it justice; the views and surroundings are breathtaking and the house is very clean and comfortable. We loved the outdoor living and dining area...which is where we spent most of our time. Cynthia and Karol were fantastic, we felt like we were well taken care of! Cynthia was so helpful and kind. The house is very functional for families and the location is perfect (so close to everything like beach and restaurants....but far enough away where you feel like you have privacy and jungle life!). Will definitely be back!

I stayed with my 3 kids and their friends ages 16-23. The home was perfect. The kitchen was outfitted with everything, including an outdoor grill which we used several times. The morning scene is so peaceful on the porch overlooking the pool to the Pacific. I enjoyed my coffee every morning. I love the house design with the open bathrooms...such a lovely touch. The outdoor area was the place to be. So many places to gather and hang out or eat. The beach was amazing. You have to drive down the hill and cross the main highway and access another property, so walking isn't really feasible. But the beach was stunning and so private. Cynthia was a perfect host. She made sure we had options for dining (both restaurants and private chef), and she helped us book various tours. She was always available to answer any questions we had. I'll definitely be back...this place is the best I've stayed at in Costa Rica after around 20 trips over the years.

Thank you so much for the awesome review. Please come and stay with us again

This house is beautiful and was perfect for my family of 6! The treehouse was perfect for my 3 girls to stay in and the main house was perfect for me, my husband and our son! The house was clean and had plenty of towels, dishes, cups, etc... Cynthia was a responsive hostess and met us at the property upon arrival to go over all the important information. My fiancé and I had a small intimate ceremony at the property, which was the perfect backdrop for our special day! This is great for families!!! You are surrounded by wild life and the private beach is a 2 minute drive!!! So much fun!!!

House was amazing. The wild life was so lively. You really are immersed into the Costa Rica jungle.

Cynthia’s place was absolutely beautiful! She and Karol were extremely helpful in planning excursions and activities. The home has every amenity you need and has GORGEOUS views. We fell in love with Uvita and cannot wait to come back. Would recommend this Airbnb to anyone that asked - well worth it!

What can I say, this house felt like a paradise!!! Undoubtedly the best Airbnb experience, ever! If you’re considering booking this house for your holiday, think no more! Book it quick as you won’t find anything better as it’s just impossible to beat it!!! The house, the views and the location are unbelievable and no pictures could translate its beauty and high standards. In addition to the amazing accommodation, you also get super responsive and professional hosts - Karol and Cynthia. They will treat you like you’re their beloved family member and help you to arrange anything that you might wish for. We are so grateful to them for being responsive to our queries and making our stay effortless and unforgettable 🙏 🌟 We tried most of the things that were on offer and can’t recommend it high enough ( snorkelling to Canó, exploring Corcovado, horse-riding to waterfalls, massages and private chefs). You absolutely must book it in advance not to be disappointed by missing out!

Thank you for the great review. We are so happy that you had a wonderful time. It was our pleasure to serve you

Our family of 5 had an amazing time!  The Villa is in immaculate shape and had more than what we needed.  We did cook in twice and it was so easy with all the Villa provided.  We also had Chef Chino come cook for us one night and it was the best meal of the entire trip.  He did a fantastic job!  The master bedrooms were very comfortable including the beds with mattress toppers and great linens. The bathrooms in each are phenomenal and so relaxing.  The tree house was perfect for my older daughter as she had her own “apartment” it felt like with the bathroom and outdoor shower.  The private beach access was really a highlight for us.  We visited everyday and most of the time we had this huge beach all to ourselves.  The only other access at this end of the beach is from Villa Leanor so visitors are quite limited.  There is also a freshwater river/creek that is right by the access which was great for the kids.  The road up is in good condition.  I would visit again in a heartbeat!!

What an awesome place! Very nice accommodations, and great communication from Cynthia. Very steep drive in, so 4WD is a must. We would definitely stay again if given the chance!

Thank you for the great review. We are so glad that you had such a good time and would love to host you again

We had a wonderful stay! Cynthia and Karol were so helpful and we definitely recommend hiring the river from the airport and Chef Chino.  The view from the house is incredibly and the beach was fantastic.

Very nice house with a beautiful view. Enough space for a bigger family (we were 5). You are in the middle of the jungle and will see monkeys, birds and lizards very close. With that also a lot of ants and insects are getting into the house. There is a great folder for tours and restaurants which really were fantastic.

The house is excellent. As described. It has all the necessary implements for your stay, from kitchen items, condiments, to everything you need for cleaning. The location provides an excellent view of the ocean and is in harmony with nature. The pool is a little small for the number of people who can stay at the house. Overall it was a pleasant stay and I will definitely stay again.

La casa es excelente. Tal cual como se describe. Tiene todos los implementos necesarios para la estancia, desde artículos de cocina, condimentos, hasta todo lo necesario para la limpieza. La ubicación brinda una excelente vista del océano y está en armonía con la naturaleza. La piscina si es un poco pequeña para la cantidad de personas que se pueden hospedar en la casa. En general fue una estadía placentera y definitivamente volveré a hospedarme.

We could not have enjoyed our stay more! The villa had amazing views and soo much wildlife! Everyday we saw monkeys and toucans and parrots. We even saw a coati down the mountain a bit. The beach access is nice and a very quick drive. Having Karol book all of our activities  was so convenient! We loved having the private chef come and cook for us. Highly recommend!

Our stay was amazing !  The entire house was great, we specially love the outdoor space and the view!!!! Cynthia had great recommendation for tours , beach and restaurant.

Endroit merveilleux idéal pour les familles !!

Book it! No need to look for another Airbnb in the Uvita area. We loved everything about this resort style home, from the lovely layout, to all the amenities provided by the hosts. We were please with our stay and communication from our host. The home boasts clean comfortable beds, upgrades throughout, a fully stocked kitchen and the best of all the views that will WOW you. Our hosts went above and beyond to recommend amazing restaurants and helped booking a fun ATV tour for my family. We definitely recommend you stay at this property!

Thanks for staying with us and so glad you liked the house instead of a hotel

This place is a gem. The communication and care the managers take is evident- for example they helped us get our flat tire fixed very very quickly and explained carefully everything to do and see in the area. The place itself is perfect. Honestly I wouldn’t change a thing. Clean, great view, nicely appointed. It’s a wonderful outpost for exploring Uvita and its surroundings.

This house was amazing and spot on for our first trip to CR!  Cynthia was attentive to all needs and made it very easy to enjoy our family vacation.  Her recommendations for dining and shopping were great.  We even treated ourselves to a night off cooking for private Chef Chino to wow us with his culinary skills.  The views are amazing and we loved the beautiful flora and fauna that surrounded us.  Can't say enough good things about the service and people we met along the way.  Look forward to returning next year, maybe during the dry season for a change.

This place is absolutely amazing! From the gorgeous ocean views to the fabulous house, we loved every minute of our time there! The home is secluded enough to be quiet and serene, yet within a short drive you can enjoy the lovely private beach and go to wonderful restaurants. The kitchen, bathrooms, laundry room, and beach supply closet are all so nicely equipped. Cynthia is a phenomenal host! She gave us many suggestions that were perfect for our family. We ate at great restaurants, hiked to beautiful waterfalls, zip lined and rode ATVs. This was, by far, our favorite vacation destination yet!

B R E A T H T A K I N G!!! I wish I could give “location” 10 stars. This place did not disappoint and exceeded all our expectations. The views were simply breathtaking and made us feel like we were living in paradise. The house was gorgeous, lots of open windows, gorgeous outdoor showers and an awesome treehouse! If you’ve ever considered getting a private chef this is where to do it. Chef Juan Pablo was amazing and worth every penny. Not to mention it was a treat for our stomachs andddd our eyes 😍. Book the house, book the chef, and book the massages!!! You won’t regret it! It was the perfect girls trip.

An amazing time had by all.. the views and location were great. We will definitely come again

Cynthia was superb and went above and beyond!

This place is as advertised. They have everything you need for a comfortable stay. The home is beautiful and the view is stunning. We will definitely be back. Make sure you go to the Bamboo Room for dinner and live music. Fun spot.

Pictures don’t do this house justice! Absolutely beautiful!! Cynthia is a wonder host who welcomed us into the home, showing us around and recommending restaurants. We truly enjoyed our stay!

My family and I had THE BEST TIME here! It was our first time in Costa Rica and it was amazing. The home is unbelievable, super clean and everything is well thought out. I slept in the tree house and awoke every morning to the sounds of howler monkeys and wildlife. I spent my mornings with a cup of Costa Rican coffee and lounging in the pool. The flora and fauna around this property is amazing. The hosts have a pair of binoculars at the house and we used them to spot monkeys, toucans, and more. Everything is spotless and the attention to detail is easy to see. The host Cynthia even offered to have a doctor come to the house to administer covid tests before we left. She was incredibly friendly and helpful and only a call or text away. There is a private entrance to the local beach that is amazing! It stretches for 3 miles and we didn't see more than 10 people while we were there! It's great. The ocean was warm and the waves were fun. There are complimentary boogie boards and beach chairs and an umbrella as well. There are also complimentary weights and kettle bells! Everything is thought out! Overall, we had such a nice time staying here and I hope to visit again!

The house is amazing and very well equiped. You have all you need and more. Toucan and parrot guarantee. Best sunset ever!

A magnificent vacation home.  We got a lot of sun at the beach the first few days so we spent one of our days at the house + it was perfect.  Lots of space to spread out + a great kitchen.  Awesome hang zones.  The ukuleles + cajon were great touches.  The pool + view were next level.  The bathrooms are exquisitely designed.  We loved everything about our stay.

It’s hard to say in this case if the house or the host take the day. The house is amazing. Every detail has been attended to… there are too many amazing things to list. It’s pretty close to perfect. Bed, bedding, kitchen, appliances, pool… everything absolutely first class. As for our host, Cynthia, between arranging a driver to and from San Jose, car rental drop off and pick up at the house, three different tours, restaurant recommendations, a private chef one night at the house and even a taxi our last night after the rental car was picked up, every detail was taken care of by consummate professionals…. we had the time of our lives. We feel like we got the absolute best of everything for the entire stay. Five stars is not enough.

Thank you for the great review, Karol did all of the arranging of tours and transportation so huge congrats to her as well

If you love wildlife, this is a place to put on your list. The location in the rainforest is simply amazing - and the amount of bird activity that surrounds you during your entire stay is second to none! Every morning was exciting and different - right from the wake-up call of the first howler monkey. There is a resident family (or multiple families) of Toucans that are always "on call" to ensure that something is available for you to see. Additionally, the views of the pacific from the pool deck are amazing - a beautiful sunset every night. We believe we saw about 8 different types of hummingbirds without leaving the patio. The house is exactly as advertised - we didn't find anything that we saw in a picture that wasn't exactly where you expected it to be. The kitchen was very well equipped (a big requirement for us) and had everything that we needed. A quick note - if you're looking for the cutting boards, they are in the lazy susan on the side (it did take us a day to find them!) The overhang on the outside area made it possible to eat every meal outside - regardless of the weather (and there were several nights that were serious downpours). The windows that open from the kitchen were a really nice touch for passing food through - and making sure that the "cooks" were able to interact with the "guests". The view from the kitchen - amazing. Cynthia and Karol worked very hard to ensure that everything occurred seamlessly - right from the airport transfers, to the rental car arrival, to having some groceries in stock when we arrived. We miss Costa Rica - and Casa de Paz - already!

Casa De Paz was amazing. Perfect for a couples getaway or 2 couples. It was bliss. Close to towns and beaches. Comfy beds. Great AC. Amazing view. Just perfect for us.

This property was more beautiful in person than in the pictures. Cynthia was great and walked us through everything in the house and had great recommendations. Karol handled all our bookings and set everything up for us. We arranged to be picked up and dropped off at the airport which I highly recommend. It gave us time to relax and take in the scenery instead of trying to figure out our way. Oscar was our driver both ways and he was professional and told us about the area and allowed us to stop and have lunch then we also stopped for some groceries too. We rented the SUV and it was brought to the house and picked up on our last night there. It was nice not to have to deal with the logistics of that. We did a couple of tours and we also got the in home massages (HIGHLY RECOMMEND). Also on our last night we had personal chefs come and cook us a 5 course meal that was amazing. Casa de paz is truly just that, peaceful! The way they decorated the house, the amenities available, the pool and just the overall zen feeling you get when you’re there. You’re in touch with nature but still can rest peacefully in your air conditioned room. Both rooms are amazing and they both have direct access to the pool and you can walk out and enjoy a cup of Costa Rican coffee right outside your room. They both also have beautiful glass windows by the sinks so you feel like you’re in the jungle. While the king room does have screens in the shower area, the queen room does not. So you will experience more of the outdoors while in your shower. But I think it’s part of the whole rain forest experience. We were just two couples so we didn’t have the use of the tree house but I bet it would be a big hit if you brought kids along. All in all I highly recommend this house.

It was such an amazing experience and an incredible view! Everything was perfect and we really enjoyed ourselves!  Responded right away to our questions and was such an easy and fun experience!

Jackie was an excellent guest! Clean, respectful and very nice!!! Thank you very much for stay with us!! Karol..

Such a beautiful home! The views were amazing! Saw different types of animals/ insects!

The perfect place to find peace. The house is absolutely beautiful, everything is just right. The beds are very comfortable, you'll enjoy showers that can open to nature and if you don't feel like sitting on the spacious terrace, overlooking the ocean, you can even watch Netflix & Co on the TV. Don't go to bed too late, be prepared to be woken up by Howler Monkeys early in the morning - but isn't that one of the reason you chose Costa Rica? And don't worry about cooking, there are plenty of excellent restaurants in the area. Your host Cynthia is one of the best hosts we ever experienced. She is always there whenever you need something and gives you the feeling to be cared for, whatever might happen.

Beautiful home and you made it a very enjoyable stay for me and my family

We absolutely loved our stay at Casa de Paz! We stayed for 11 days, 10 nights and enjoyed every bit of it. The house is stunning - even more beautiful in person, and it was impeccably clean and equipped with all the basics we needed. The location of this house was perfect - tucked up in the jungle, but a quick 2 minutes to the private beach below (which was also stunning and always quiet), just a quick 5 minute drive to Uvita in one direction and the same distance to Ojochal in the other direction. We loved waking up to the sound of the howler monkeys in the trees, hearing and watching the toucans and parrots, as well as all the other jungle sounds. Our kids are 8 and 7 and they were so excited experiencing the jungle in that way. We visited during the rainy season, so many late afternoons/evenings the rain and storms would move in and we loved that the house had plenty of covered outdoor space that we could still sit out and enjoy listening to the rain. We celebrated my husband's 40th birthday on this trip, as well as an early 10 year anniversary celebration for us and our stay was the perfect mix of relaxation and adventure. We went on 4 excursions while we were there and I highly recommend all of them! We did the Osa Canopy zip lining tour, whale watching just off the coast of whale's tail beach (we saw a mama and baby humpback!), horse back riding through the jungle to the Nauyaca falls, as well as the ATV tour with Jungle ATV. The guides were incredible and each excursion was an incredible experience that we'll always remember. All in all, I can't say enough wonderful things about this house and its location! We left a piece of our hearts in Costa Rica for sure!

My husband and I had the pleasure of spending just under a week at this Airbnb. There are no words to describe it. It is absolutely amazing! Every single aspect was top notch. It was immaculate and the design and decor are spectacular! The outdoor area is to-die-for! You are sheltered from the sun and rain (if you want to be) or you can relax and enjoy the rays. We spent the majority of the time sitting under the covered area enjoying the views. There is an abundance of wildlife to be enjoyed. My favourite was the laughing falcon. They are incredibly loud and beautiful birds. There are too many different species to mention them all. Cynthia and Karol were fabulous hosts. We couldn’t have asked for better. They were so helpful with all of our questions. They even helped us coordinate having a chef come and prepare dinner! That was such a great treat because we wanted to spend as much time enjoying the Airbnb as possible. Trust me you will see why! It doesn’t get any better. :). They were also extremely helpful assisting with the coordination of the COVID test. Definitely a 10/10!!!

This property is stunning! The quality of the build, the furnishings, the view. All exceptional. We loved the privacy afforded by each bedroom and the treehouse, and the common areas are perfect for group meals, reading, cocktails, and lounging. The indoor/outdoor showers are perfect. The ACs work wonderfully. We watched toucans and aracaris from the deck and fell asleep to the sound of the surf. We can't wait to return.

Excellent location, house, vibe, and HOST! Loved this place so much, definitely book it! Saw amazing birds throughout the property each morning, they had a nice speaker to use for music, charging station, etc. house was well equipped with things for cooking and had plenty of towels. Felt SAFE!

The House What an extraordinary way to spend your time, nestled in the jungle in a stunning home with a view of the ocean and the sights and sounds of toucans, parrots, tropical flowers, howler monkeys, sloth sightings, frogs, butterflies, hummingbirds and much more. Not another house, rooftop or person to be seen. The vases of gorgeous flowers were an extra special touch. The open layout and ability to truly live an indoor/outdoor lifestyle was wonderful. All the outdoor living space was ideal and spacious. Lots of places to take in all the surroundings. We enjoyed early mornings with coffee in the comfy chairs outside the poolside bedroom, spent afternoons lounging around the pool or on the couches and loved having our meals at the elegant wood table. Swinging in the hammock chairs in the treehouse made you feel like you were in a completely different place… even though it is just steps away. Every space was special and we loved the variety of ways to take in the experience. Beds, pillows and bedding were cozy with AC in each bedroom [and in the treehouse] – which made for a lovely sleep. The bathrooms were amazing and high-end, like a posh jungle hotel, with the unique feature of openness to nature yet still providing privacy. While brushing your teeth you watched hummingbirds enjoying the amazing flowers and butterflies fluttering by. Kitchen was well equipped with every necessity and provided all the basics for cooking (spices, condiments, etc). We made most of our meals at the house and loved the show-stopping feature of opening the glass windows to the poolside. We went to farmers market on the Saturday we arrived and again on Wed. So, we had fresh produce, fish, bread and added in all the other grocery needs with a convenient stop at the supermarket. We loved the ease of cooking and enjoying our dinners on the patio. We loved this house, location and experience. It was a perfect get away with a balance of seclusion, adventure and relaxation. You can’t go wrong with Casa de Paz. Uvita We arranged transport to/from the airport to the house through Karol, which meant we were able to just relax and enjoy being on vacation from the moment we landed – both our drivers, Eric and Oscar, were wonderful and we felt very safe and well taken care of on the drive. Karol also arranged for us to have a rental car while in Uvita, which is necessary to go anywhere (the house is up a very steep drive and nothing is within walking distance), which they brought and picked-up from the house – very slick and easy. The distance to Uvita was close for getting anything we needed (5 min from house). There were some cute souvenir shops that all had similar items/prices as items at the beach or at roadside shops. We didn’t eat out much, but it looked like there were many good and a variety of choices. Cynthia provides many restaurant recommendations in Uvita and surrounding towns for anyone’s desired experiences. We did fall in love with all the delicious treats at the Panderia in Uvita (we stopped there every time we went out). Activities It was really great that most activities were within 15-30 minutes of Uvita… allowed us to do many activities and also get back to the house by afternoon to enjoy the pool. Our favorite activities were white water rafting [with Henry @ Domincal Adventures] and the Oso Canopy Tour [seven zip lines, 3 rappels, 2 bridge walks and a Tarzan swing]. We would highly recommend both. The hike to the Nauyaca waterfall is a nice hike, since it was raining, it was a bit slick and muddy in spots so wear good footwear for hiking and look for a walking stick along the way – once at the waterfall you can swim in pools and climb the rocks. Very fun! A nice feature of renting this house is the private beach access… we drove across the road to the private beach for some sunsets and were the only ones on the entire, expansive beach, which was very special. We also spent a day touring the local beaches during low tide; including the caves of Playa Ventanas, it was a nice way to see the area and other nearby towns. We indulged in having massages at the house which was a great experience to just be able to relax after a wonderful massage – we would highly recommend for those that like to be pampered. Hosts Cynthia and Karol were amazing hosts. From our first contact with them as we were planning our trip and making a selection of where to stay [we had many questions]. They were always responsive and helpful – which we have learned is so important in a host. Once we confirmed Casa de Paz, Karol sent an overview of all the activities in the area, booked all of our selected activities and sent an itinerary with all the details of our trip. We were kindly welcomed by Cynthia when we arrived and given a nice, quick walk-though of the house highlighting key, important features. It was perfect to get us settled in and on our own. Both Cynthia and Karol were so happy and pleasant to interact with and, again, responded quickly to any question or needs we had while we were there. They are truly super hosts! Pura Vida!
