Summary: Beautiful villa, amazing views, and everything you could ever need. Wonderful property manager, with quick responses to any inquiry. Cathleen at Explore Uvita was incredibly helpful, and knowledgable, organizing fun excursions for us. Villa is very clean, and in a perfect location- close to Uvita, Playa Hermosa and Dominical. This is our second time staying at this property, and we will definitely be back again!

Summary: We had 6 people in our group including 2 who had not been to Costa Rica previously. We all absolutely loved the house. The views are stunning and the home itself is spectacular. Several times the comment "I don’t want to leave."

Summary: We arrived late at night and had trouble initially finding the property. Follow the directions to the location that property manager sends you prior to check in not the location of the VRBO listing. The house is amazing, views are stunning, house was well kept and we had a great time.

Summary: We stayed for just over a week ( March 2024), and didn’t want to ever leave. The house is absolutely stunning, and has everything you could ever need. The view is incredible!!! We saw many macaws, and toucans, and heard howler monkeys one morning. Easily accessible on a paved road, the villa is well located for Whale’s Tail Beach, Uvita grocery stores, and Dominical. Directions and instructions were very clear and easy. Jerome arranged a wonderful chef’s dinner, which we enjoyed so much. Cathleen ( Explore Uvita) coordinated two excursions for us, which we loved ( horseback riding and a catamaran trip) and she is a Superstar! She went over and above, and was so quick to reply to any questions. So helpful! There is construction going on below and above the villa, but such is life. Just be aware in case you prefer to sleep in, as they start around 6:30am. It didn’t bother us though. This was our favourite house that we have rented in this area, and we would definitely return. We miss it already!

Summary: The views from the outside living space and pool are even better in person. Everyone involved was friendly and very responsive. A little noisy with a new home being built across the street and the main living area can get a little hot. But, I would heartedly recommend this home to everyone. We had a magical week there. Pura Vida!

Summary: This property was fantastic. Great ocean view from the pool deck with all kinds of wildlife all around. On our last day, a coati came up on the deck looking for food and walked around for 5 minutes while we were relaxing by the pool. Jerome and his team were fantastic and made everything from the airport transfer to the check out go smoothly. I would I highly recommend this villa. We also had the private chef prepare dinner for us on a couple of nights and the food was amazing. I would definitely recommend trying the chef as well. We look forward to coming back here again!

Summary: Our family absolutely loved staying at this property. The views are unbeatable and the property itself delivered. It is centrally located to many attractions and dining. The only negative for our stay was there was quite a bit of construction directly below the outdoor patio that was very loud. Management was very helpful and timely as was the concierge. Once the nearby construction is complete, this would be a 5+. Would definitely return.

Summary: The house was very nice, very clean, with everything you need for a lovely stay. Jerome was extremely responsive to all our questions and concerns in the months leading up to the trip and during. The water shut off once and someone was there to fix it within 30 minutes. We felt extremely safe while staying there as well. Once we returned from an excursion after dark and a security guard was there at the gate because he said the alarm had been sounding. We never got to the bottom of it since it was still set and the house appeared undisturbed but it was great peace of mind that there was a guard on standby in case something was really wrong. The house was plenty of space for the size of our family. The view is SPECTACULAR! It’s indescribable, truly! The sunsets and view of The Whale’s Tail were breathtaking. The drive up from the main road is easy. Takes about 3 minutes to be at the house to the bottom of the hill. We did rent a pickup so that helped with the steep climb but no need for a 4x4. The car service we had to and from the airport was terrific. The driver, Paul, was so friendly and spoke great English and answered a lot of questions and gave a lot of information and history about Costa Rica on our drive. Cathleen the tour manager was fantastic in her recommendations and help with setting everything up. A few things to note: - The drive from the airport was a bit longer than it says in the listing. It was about an hour longer which Jerome explained can happen for various reasons after I inquired since I was concerned about how early we needed to leave for our trip back. I’m mentioning it because with 3 kids, by the end of the drive and after 2 flights, my two youngest were in tears. It was probably pushing out limits for travel tolerance with the kids as it was but with the added drive delay, it got our trip off to a rocky start. This is not the fault, of course, of the owners but I would recommend changing the description in the listing as up to 4.5 hours from San Jose depending on traffic so people are aware. The trip back in the early morning was closer to 3 hours. - The pool and house are great but with kids, you definitely want to have your days planned or I think our kids would have gotten bored after a while. We stayed at the house on the first day and day before we left but had excursions on the others.
