The host, Tom, was very helpful in getting us settled. The best part was when we saw some monkeys one day in the trees by the pool! The back yard was a real oasis with some interesting birds and the amazing pool. We enjoyed the beautiful beach at Marino Ballena National Park in Uvita (we spotted a sloth in a tree near the entrance), the Uvita Waterfalls and butterfly garden, and it was a good area jump off to other destinations: Osa/Sierpe (ziplining and mangrove boat tour), Alturas Wildlife Rescue Centre, and Manuel Antonio National Park. The patio by the pool did get a little buggy in the evening. The kids loved seeing 3 big toads and the little gecko lizards that come out at night. We enjoyed using the new barbecue to make some dinners. The house was very clean and well equipped. We really appreciated the air conditioning and fans. We were 4 adults and 4 kids aged 7-12 (2 families from Canada) sharing the space. Thank you for a wonderful holiday that we will always remember! ##### Maureen M.

After a few days on the go, we were quite happy to arrive at Casita Uvita where we could relaxe, enjoy the beautiful tropical garden and spend hours listening to the birds singing. The kids loved the pool, which was more like a spa! With our 4x4, we could do daily excursions very close by and always be happy to come back to the comfort of the casita. Be advised that there is no indoor livingroom or indoor table to eat at...it's a real outdoor paradise to enjoy! ##### Natalie O. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sudhir S. 6 Jan 2018 #### A quiet, spectacular haven to come home to after a day of excellent loving.

We love this house. The property was beautifully landscaped, outdoor shower and the pool were an added bonus. We were able to see many different birds, lizards and butterflies that visited us each day. The property is secure and the neighborhood felt safe. We visited the Whale's Tale, went snorkeling (which was fantastic) and kayaked the mangroves. We could walk to plenty of restaurants and some shopping. The town of Uvita has a laid back atmosphere, not overcrowded and the beach has some of the best sunsets. We would highly recommend this rental. ##### Tracey T.

It's everything as described and more! For us the pool was definitely the highlight though the short trip to the beach was a close second. My son was really keen to try surfing and we found a place just down the road. Shout out to Uvita 360 - they were awesome! I tend to ask a LOT of questions and I always received a quick and helpful response! Thanks Tom and Ann Marie for your amazing help - couldn't have done it without you!

Just two downsides: 1) no place to sit inside - three bedrooms and kitchen only 2) neighborhood is extremely noisy with two homes under construction during the day and very noisy neighbors at night. Dogs barking incessantly at all hours. Unfortunate because the back patio is a great place to spend the evening. ##### Nancy S.

My family and I spent a week here over spring break, and it was wonderful! Tom and Christine were so great to work with and so friendly. They had multiple guests checking in for multiple properties at the same time and Tom's car broke down, yet they expertly managed to get everyone to their respective homes for the week and maintained a very "Pura Vida" attitude amongst the chaos! They were wonderful! The house itself was spotless and had all the amenities you could need. Pool was lovely. A/C worked great. It's close to the main part of town and does not have an ocean view, but the tropical backyard and the birds bathing in the pool made up for the lack of view. :) We highly recommend and would stay here again! ##### Angie T.

Travel in August at Uvita was wonderful. Sunny most of the day, then rain in the evening. Tom was prompt at check-in and check-out and pleasant. We used their services and trusted in them completely as the reviews were excellent. Catered dinner on the covered porch one night after a sunny day at the beach and it thunderstormed which gave an amazing ambiance. Kids went whale watching, took surfing lessons, jet skiing and waterfall exploring (and diving). The house was very clean and the AC was perfect. And lastly, their exit instructions were the best: basically don't do anything. No need to strip beds or throw out excess food. We had a spectacular time and recommend this home and Uvita. ##### William R.

I thought one bathroom would be a little inconvenient, but the outdoor shower and washroom made it super easy, the kids would fight who got to shower outdoors. Driving: You do need a 4-wheel drive car if you'd like to explore, we went to a few very nice restaurants and they were all high up on the top of the mountains, the drive was not easy but the view was more than worth it. Bugs: we had no issue with them, I was prepared with all the sprays, but at this season mosquitos were moderate to none, at least they didn't bother us. Love our experience here and a few friends already asked me about this home:)) ##### Emilia L.

This was a perfect piece of paradise to spend a few days at the end of our road trip. We’re a family of four with two young kids (2 and 5) and this property was wonderful for us. Very private on a quiet street about a 10 min walk to the national park entrance (maybe longer if you’re walking with two kids - but doable!). The gardens and greenery around the property make it feel like you’re right in the rainforest - we seen so many beautiful birds while sitting at the pool area. Everything you need is available at the casita, the kitchen was well equipped and everything was clean and comfortable. As some people mentioned in previous reviews, there is no indoor seating area or tv but we never once missed it as the outdoor space is so beautiful at all times of day - rain or shine. Communication prior to and while there was super easy with Tom and Christine and they were both kind and helpful with any questions we had about the casita or the surrounding area. Check in and check out couldn’t have been more smooth. If you’re looking for a little piece of paradise in the Uvita area, this is it. ##### Shalana D.

The house was the perfect size for my family of 4 and in-laws. It is a beautiful home - spacious and clean. I felt the pictures didn't do the house justice! We LOVED the location of the pool and we spent a good chunk of the day swimming. The house even had a couple pool toys, which was bonus for our kids! It is in a very secluded location, so we had a lot of privacy. We loved the fact that we could walk to Marina Ballena National Park, and my son and I even found scarlet macaws there a couple days. We even got to watch a group of about 15 of them eating almonds! We also loved Playa Hermosa and Playa Ventanas. I highly recommend visiting the Saturday market. There is an friendly ex-pat who sells doughnuts that are amazing! We even drove back the next week from Quepos to get them again! We found the house had everything we needed. We loved the pantry to store all of our food! The airconditioning in the house was welcome after almost 3 weeks in Costa Rica with none:-) Tom and Christine are fabulous to deal with. They were extremely prompt in responding to a couple issues we had in the house and very friendly. We hope to rent with them in the future! All in all, we HIGHLY recommend this house - it's fantastic in every way! ##### Elizabeth C. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Cynthia P., Montréal 13 Mar 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Superbe maison située près de tous les services.

We spent 8 nights at Tom and Christine’s with our 3 young children - 5yrs and younger. We had a fantastic time! The house was very well equipped with everything we needed. Tom was quick to locate and drop off a high chair for our youngest. The home is beautiful and very well laid out. We spent the mornings at the beach and our afternoons by the lovely pool. The kids loved playing in the garden as well. Lots of space! And quiet! Tom and Christine’s is the perfect retreat - quiet and peaceful. A car is a necessity, but definitely worth it! Most of the beaches nearby require an admission fee. Ventanas was our favourite! We would definitely stay at this wonderful spot again! Thank you for a wonderful stay! ##### Megan C.

The location is perfect for walking to the park. The mornings are fantastic by the pool and watching all of the wildlife. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 5 nights in Jun 2021 ---
