What a view! What a place! Tucans in the gardens, macaws, geckos - it was awesome. The property is huge and has everything you could possibly need and more. The gardens are amazing and the view from the pool is incredible. Uvita is a wonderful place with so much to do and see. The communications from Natalie and the management team made everything seamless from the booking to check out. So incredibly helpful and informative

Beautiful and very clean place! We saw howler monkeys, toucans, and more from the pool. The drive up is a bit crazy, but it typical in this area. Just make sure you have 4x4!

Amazing house and surroundings. Living in the forest next to a great town. Communication was top notch - we got excellent advise every day and any problem was fixed asap. I woke up every morning at dawn listening to the howler monkeys and birds - and one afternoon we hosted a couple of singing Tucans next to the pool. Hill is steep so you need a 4x4, main living area gets a bit hot (we were there towards end of dry season) as there is no aircon - but not an issue for us as the bedrooms are nice and cool. Highly recommend this place.

A fabulous week in what can only be described as paradise. A gorgeous house where we felt right at home straight away and super responsive hosts for anything we needed! An amazing setting whilst sat outside round the pool and saw toucans and lots of birds! A truly spectacular time and would absolutely recommend.

Beautiful spot. Great pool. Super comfy beds. Central location very close to restaurants and beaches. We went for Envision which turned out to be super convenient. The hosts were very hospitable and provided numerous local options including a vitamin IV drip right to the house— great to do right before the long drive back after a tiring weekend! Thanks !!!

This place will for sure be one of the nicest Air BnB’s we have ever stayed in. Gorgeous + private with amazing views. The pool and patio were the perfect place to relax. Property was very close to everything in Uvita. The only down fall is the steep hike back up to it. Definitely need a 4 x 4 vehicle to access. Thank you for a memorable vacation!

The view was stunning. Outdoor area was perfect for adults and children. Great for viewing nature and wildlife, the binoculars were an added bonus. We had a family of howlers that visited us almost daily throughout our stay. A/C in the bedrooms worked perfect. Kitchen was fully stocked. Any issues that we had were dealt with right away and host was very responsive. Would definitely recommend !

if you are looking for paradise BOOK THIS PLACE!!!!!! It was just perfect. The kitchen was the most stocked kitchen out of any airbnbs I have staying at. So much wildlife at the airbnb. Ac units in all bedrooms and the main living space just open all the beautiful windows and you won't miss it! the pool is just stunning and we'll maintained. we wouldn't not stay anywhere else. Other people stated how far they had to drive to get to their Airbnbs but this was secluded and very close to town! It was the best part of our trip!

We stayed at Michael's place for 6 nights during a family trip to Costa Rica. The house was nothing short of perfect. I was a little concerned from the last review but everything was in perfect order and we experienced no issues. I was initially concerned about no air-conditioning in the main living space as Im hot natured, but with the windows and fans going it was never an issue. The outdoor space was exceptional! We used the pool at night and used the outdoor dining and grill on multiple occasions. Dining during a rainstorm outdoors was quite the perfect evening. Every morning I had coffee on the deck and would enjoy the toucans, scarlet Macaws, green parrots and howler monkeys directly from the patio. Along with frogs,butterflys etc. it's an amazing setting. 4x4 is A MUST. You can make it from San Jose without. But after you leave the highway you need it for the house, restaurants and most activities we drive to off the main road. 100% would stay here again.
