We loved our stay at the villa. Whit was very helpful and thought of everything to make our stay amazing. We hired Chef Vlad to cook us two amazing meals because we wanted to enjoy the villa and not have to leave for dinner! Overall we loved our stay and would be happy to return!
This is an incredible property! It is well appointed, exceptionally clean and spacious with a great location. The owner,Whit, was very friendly and accommodating. He went out of his way to make sure that we were comfortable. We were a family of 12 staying at this beautiful property and had a great time. Thank you, Whit!
Such a great place to stay in Uvita! So roomy and beautiful with a great view of the ocean! Whit was very responsive and resourceful! Loved this beautiful place!
We had the most incredible time at Whit’s property in Uvita. Really don’t have enough good things to say about the immaculate care he take of his guests. The level of thought and preparation that goes into his local recommendations is best in class. His team including his Concierge Simone and private chef Vlad just transformed our trip. The entire team was so accomodating despite our frequent last minute planning. The food was just exceptional. All of this is to say nothing of the property which speaks for itself. Just beautiful. Finally the communication with Whit was off the charts. Not surprising given the thought he put into every element of this property…but he was accessible and responsive in a way few hosts actually are. Can’t wait to go back. Would stay here again in a heartbeat
This place is far more beautiful than the photos. I highly recommend this house. It is by far the best rental property we have ever stayed in! Thanks to Whit our dining out was easy and our activities were wonderful. Stop looking and book this place!
We thoroughly enjoyed our time at this house. The house was more beautiful than the pictures on the website. Beds were comfortable and we loved both the pool & the hot tub. We were a group of 9 and everyone had their own space and bathroom!! Highly recommend.
The sunset views from this property are absolutely fabulous. The kitchen is wonderful with everything you need and all rooms are spacious. We enjoyed the feel of the outdoors while inside and enjoyed the pool and hot tub every day. The BBQ is awesome as well. Whit is a great host, thank you for sharing your beautiful property.
Our group had an excellent time! We can’t say enough about how great Whit was. He was available to answer all of our questions and had great ideas. He has a binder with everything you need to know in it. It was very clean and had everything we needed. The groundskeeper, Chef Vlad, and our tour guide Simone, were all exceptional. I will be going back to this same property and I highly recommend it!
House is better in person than in the photos. Perfect set up for coming back from the day and spending the evening with Family and friends. Whit was always available to answer questions. He also has great recommendations. Would definitely be a home to go back to year after year.
We absolutely loved our stay at this property! The host was very communicative and helpful leading up to and throughout our stay. The beautiful home design and furnishings made for a comfortable place to spend time together and relax after a long day of playing in the sun. We loved cooking in the well stocked kitchen and eating at the dining room table that had enough seating for everyone in the group. Every bedroom has an adjoining bathroom. The kids and adults loved the hot tub and pool. The views from almost every area of the house inside and out are stunning! The location was great with easy access to restaurants and grocery stores. We can't recommend this home enough!
There is not one detail that has been overlooked. This house was more than equipped for our group of 9 ladies to have a great time in Uvita!
Whit was very responsive and had excellent communication. We utilized Simone, the house concierge and also Chef Vlad to prepare amazing meals for each evening.
When Mother Nature didn't go along with our plans, we still had a fabulous time hanging around the villa with our group playing games, soaking in the hot tub or just lounging & socializing.
Highly recommend and we will most definitely be back!
Beautiful location, perfect for our two families together on this trip! The view and sunsets can't be beat and the pool was a welcome relief from the hot, hot sun. We had plenty of space for the nine of us to have both privacy and hangout time together. The only thing we could say is missing is an ice maker in one of the multiple wet bars -- nothing stays cold in costa rica, and a group of 9 goes through a lot of ice trying to make drinks by the pool and fill water bottles for the day trips.The app created by the owner was very helpful in planning ahead for the trip. The smaller nearby waterfall Whit recommended was perfect for our group and a big hit with the teens.We used the shuttle from the airport and highly recommend for any large groups! After the first day we switched from rental cars to using the same shuttle service for daily excursions, for virtually the same cost per family. This allowed us to all ride together and more importantly have a local navigating and making recommendations on where to go. We also enjoyed Simone's Cano Island snorkel trip and the opportunity to swim with sea turtles! She's an eagle eye for spotting wildlife along the way.Lastly, everyone should 100% book Vlad for at least a few dinners during your stay, if not all of them. The food was wonderful and very reasonably priced compared to eating out. We were all very full and happy. Make sure you request the chocolate cake and tiramisu!
This property is ideal if you are looking for a home with beautiful view, to relax in, and good access to many adventures within an hour. Whit was a great host, very friendly, informative, and responsive, and met us upon arrival in the rain to show this beautiful home. Our family’s favorite part of the home is the sunken couch by the pool.Simone was our amazing concierge and ensured prompt responses to questions, assisted in arranging an amazing Corcovado tour, and shared many insights on other options for exploring the area. She went above and beyond to ensure we had a great stay. Communication from Whit and Simone prior to arrival was excellent, and really helped us prepare for the trip to Uvita.We also had two fantastic dinners with the personal chef, Vlad and highly recommend this experience too. In summary, everything about our stay in Uvita was great and we would highly recommend this location and property. Thank you Whit, Simone, and Vlad for the memories and we hope to return in the future!
The size and layout were perfect for our groups. The pool, the hot tub, the view were exactly what we were looking for in a relaxing vacation. The villa is decorated in a way that makes you feel as if you are staying in a friends home and not a rental. The kitchen is fully stocked with all you need for cooking your own meals.
We hired a chef recommended by our host, Vladimir Chinchilla, for breakfast & dinner for 4 of our 8 days. His cost was incredibly reasonable and his dishes were amazing. For us this worked so well and we HIGHLY recommend him. The days we did not have the chef, Ana & Nancy our lovely cleaning staff made breakfast for us also for a very reasonable cost.
Our host Whit was helpful ever time we had a question & really anticipated his guests needs.
Whit had driver contacts and info about the area that made our first time in Costa Rica easy & enjoyable. We all found it very hard to leave!
This property is top notch! If you’re looking for a great location, great view and quality accommodation, this is it. Whitney is an excellent host. Was extremely responsive and helpful for months in advance of our trip and throughout our stay. He gave great tips and suggestions for excursions and recommended the most wonderful Chef (Vladimir). He cooked many meals for us (breakfasts and dinners for us, but he will cook 3 meals a day if requested), including our fresh catch from a wildly successful fishing excursion. It was 5 star meals every time. Uvita is a wonderful little town and easily accessible to fishing, snorkeling, rainforest excursions, beaches, waterfalls and much more. The property is perfect for large family or group of friends. Plenty of room for gathering together and alone time if needed. The outdoor pool/bar/hot tub/sunken seating area has a fantastic view and is the most wonderful place to wake up to hear the howler monkeys and birds, drink coffee, lounge your day away and/or wind down with a glass of wine, music and glorious sunsets. The house is fully stocked and well appointed. A great grocery store is very close by for anything you may need. Thank you, Whitney, for your wonderful accommodations and all of your help! Wish we could’ve stayed longer!
Among premium properties in Uvita, this one stands apart. It is a unique layout with many thoughtful details included, situated on a steep slope above Uvita with views of the ocean and surrounding nature that exceed photos in beauty and grandeur. You enter the house from above with the primary living area on the upper level, and kitchen and dining area on lower level (game room is actually one level below that). Each bedroom (three up, two down) has its own bathroom, and each has its own special feature (eg, big tub, open air shower, private reading patio, direct access to hot tub patio, etc.). The kitchen is quite impressive with a true commercial-grade range and super-stocked with dishes and appliances. AC, hot water, and laundry were also top-of-the-line, making our stay very comfortable. The pool and hot tub were true to form compared to the photos and very refreshing day or night, even after a day at the beach.Whit is the host, owner, and designer of the property—an ex-pat who has made this property a passion project. He lives locally and is fully invested—he also personally oversees issues that arise on the property, even though others help with the property management. Always reachable. We came as a group of 12, including adults and children ages 8 months to 14 years. I think our younger children gave Whit some initial cause for concern. He explained everything clearly and in detail, and everything was A-OK for young kids there. Would enjoy staying again.
Pura VidaWords cannot describe the beauty of Cielo Azul Villa, it was simply amazing! We had a wonderful stay! The home was exactly as described—clean, comfortable, beautifully maintained, and stocked with everything we needed. Plenty of room for all 11 of us. The location was a peaceful retreat.Whit was friendly, responsive, and made the entire experience seamless from check-in to check-out. Chef Vlad, my goodness! He was a chef, an artist, a magician with food! Vlad made some of the best meals that we have ever had, grilled lobster and tuna sashimi to name a few! Simone was very kind and helpful. We truly felt at home and appreciated all the thoughtful touches throughout the property.We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend this home to anyone looking for a relaxing and enjoyable getaway. Thank you for a wonderful experience!The Williams family
Host and house were amazing. The house was very nice and clean, awesome views and whit our host was the best host of any Vrbo I have ever rented. Every thing he recommended was top notch
