The sounds of the jungle before sunset are fascinating. The open concept house was unique but worked fine and the split bedrooms are perfect for privacy. We enjoyed the pool and outdoor living areas.

It was a stunningly beautiful home and the property was spectacular. It was exceptionally private aside from a friendly iguana and birds who really made the stay feel special. I loved getting a visit from them every day! I intend to return and stay here - it was a beautifully relaxing experience. ##### Nicole E.

Spectacular property. Watching sunsets from the infinity pool was the highlight of every day. It is a very steep road to Pura Uvita but well worth the drive. House is very well equipped. We never had to use the air conditioner. Our 6th trip to Costa Rica, Uvita is our favorite area. ##### Robert M.

Had amazing views of the ocean. We loved the view of the ocean , the birds, the lizards, the giant chicken, like animals that scared the hell out of us ! It Had all the amenities you would want. The only negative I think would be is that in November after like 2 o’clock in the afternoon there is full sun on the back patio where we spent most of our time, and it really would’ve been nice to have some shade. ##### Tracia K.

Well stocked with things that we needed. LOVED the bedroom armoire! Beautiful bathroom. It was exactly as advertised, pool, indoor/outdoor feel with all the glass that opens up. Enjoyed the birds and other wildlife that came to visit. The people down the mountain in the pubs, etc. were exceptionally friendly. I really minded the ride up and down but I'm a wuss.

This beautiful space is located on the side of a mountain overlooking the Pacific Ocean. We were awakened each day by a new experience. The first day a giant iguana and a raccoon stopped by. The next morning Toucans and parrots surrounded the trees that swallowed our space. The restaurants and bakery nearby kept us nourished. Los Luarales restaurant was a hit. Everything else was a bonus. The 4 wheeling, trips to the beach (not far away) the waterfalls, and of the monkeys made this trip spectacular. Thanks again Pura Uvita Vacation home!!!!!! ##### Victor G.

House is simple but worked perfectly for our family of 4\. Basic bag of coffee and some spices were at the house, and although we've definitely experienced better staples at other properties this wasn't enough of an inconvenience to distract. Internet worked well, and pool was fantastic. We did loose electricity a few times during the stay, but generally only briefly. Loren was fantastic, arranging a poolside couples massage for us one afternoon (highly recommend!). Only thing to keep in mind: If you don't like bugs and lizards in your space, you may want to look for something else. ##### Julie B.

We had rented a Rave 4 and spent a few days in Santa Teresa and Arenal before going to Uvita. Got a message from Andrea saying to make sure our vehicle had a 4 wheel drive button or it wouldn't make it up the hill. Decided to change vehicles to a Toyata Land Cruiser Prado. Good thing we did. Not sure the Rave 4 would have made it up the hill! Excellent property, very private, and a great Ocean view. Loren, the property manager, was very responsive. Water pressure was an issue a couple times, but Andrea gave us instructions on how to switch from city water to water tanks up the hill from the property. We enjoyed eating at many of the local sodas in town. Would highly recommend this property. ##### Bob B.

The home is beautiful. You are close to food, grocers, pharmacies and the pacific but ou are nestled in the mountain with spectacular views and lots of wildlife. You can hear the howler monkeys and coati passed through the yard. But the birds were the highlight. We were here during the mating season for one of native turkey varieties. The serenaded us on the second morning. We recorded them from the kitchen. Later, while sitting by the pool, we played it back and the birds came running through the yard singing and looking for their possible mate. We will definitely come back to the home again. ##### Sheila W. Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2024 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Todd L. 31 Jul 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Rain Forest living We loved the house, pool, views, and yes animals. You are in the rainforest. We loved that we could keep the bedroom door closed with AC and keep the critters out. Otherwise be ready for outdoor living. Also it did come with a difficult drive uphill on a dirt and bumpy road for 10 minutes. It was fun driving but even with our 4x4 it limited how many times we were willing to make the drive every day. The beds could be better and some small repairs were needed but not enough to dampen our time. All in all if we came back to Uvita , which I highly recommend, I would stay here again but probably not more than 3 nights. ##### Todd L. Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2024 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Rachael H. 29 Nov 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy My husband and I stayed a week at this gem of a property. The view is stunning and though we come to Costa Rica often, we saw the most wildlife here than any previous rentals. The location is awesome and it's quiet/peaceful. Andrea was wonderful to communicate with and Loren was super helpful when we had requests. We enjoyed the modern design and architectural aesthetic. ##### Rachael H.

A nice place, 4x4 car is a must. Whale’s tail is seen from the property, the sunsets are beautiful. ##### gintaras r.

My husband and I stayed in this magical property and absolutely loved it! The location and house are wonderful! We adored the stunning views and all the wildlife. And Loren, the property manager, was amazing! He had all kinds of great suggestions for things to do, was super attentive to anything we needed and was just a very cool guy in general. I could not have wished for a better place to stay on our first trip to Costa Rica! ##### Marina P.

We saw a pair of Quetzals in the trees daily, as well as several Toucans and some gray Wood rails. Andrea and Loren were great to work with and the house was wonderful. The open layout and constant breeze through the living area were so peaceful. As they noted, 4x4 is required for the last hill up to the house, but it’s well worth it for the view! ##### Caleb and Shannon P.

Lauren, the property manager is from the U.S. but now live in CR so you have the best of both worlds...someone who knows CR, speaks English, and can refer you to the best places to visit. The house is beautiful and set in nature. The pool is refreshing and you cant beat the view. You do need 4 wheel drive to get to the house but if you are in good shape you can walk to town and back...it took my husband and I a half hour. I would definitely stay at this house again...i have wonderful dreams about it. ##### laur m.

We saw a lot of wildlife from the pool deck. Spent part of each day in the pool. Close to everything. We already booked again for later this year! We never turned on the television. You MUST have a 4 wheel drive to make the drive up. We used Avis and they were very friendly and set us up with our SUV for the week. No issues! ##### Bonnie W.

It didnt ruin our experience as the property is amazing as is the location. The drive up the hill is a little bumpy but if you have AWD or 4x4 your good. The TV is tiny if your in the mood for a movie in the evening, which is a shame as the wall is built for a huge TV..but as a whole i would totally recommend the property. At the bottom of the hill is an amazing Vegan restaurant and a spectacular bakery..You should try both. ##### Shaun H.

The view is fantastic and the kitchen and grill gave us plenty of food prep options. The beds were very comfortable. AC in the rooms great for a comfortable night sleep and the fans were well place in the home and outside deck so AC not required. I must say that I was skeptical about an all wheel drive not being enough and a 4x4 being necessary. Having been there now I would say the 4x4 is a must and not something to question. Parts of the way up are steep and any moisture on the road will certainly make it more than a struggle without the 4x4\. All in all a great stay and the toucans regular visits admiring their reflection in the window were certainly something. Pura Vida all. ##### Darrell E.

The villa is situated on the hilltop overlooking the whales tale. The pictures are exactly what you will see from the spectacular view of the patio. Lovely pool and really unique kitchen/living room area. Bedrooms are air conditioned for great sleeping and beds are very comfortable. Outdoor showers which are always fun. Laundry available with detergent. Kitchen is equipped with everything you need. It is a drive up a mountain but not impossible. After following Loren up the first day we had it figured out. Loren; the property manager is the best. He guided us to the best grocery store; close to the villa, and was available when we locked ourselves out. Only downside was the day we decided to just hang out and enjoy the pool the lawn crew arrived and the pool man arrived. Lawns need to be mowed and the pool needs to be taken care of so we understood but we were sure surprised. I was sitting outside in pjs when the lawn crew pulled up lol. Highly recommend. Owners reached out the day we checked in to make sure we had everything we needed. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit ##### Denise R. Stayed 3 nights in May 2023 ---
