"This stay was absolutely out of this world. Robert, the owner and designer of the place, is an excellent host, he left us a hand-written welcome note and some goodies. Sleeping next to the river and waking up to nature sounds feels like a movie. The house is well equipped with anything you might need. The design and coziness of the place is undeniable.

"We had a fantastic day. Patricia was very responsive and took care of our every need. Our only concern was the possibility that our 20 passenger 2 Wheel drive bus would not be able to make it up the rough mile and a half road to the villa in a downpour, but we were lucky and it was never raining when we were riving.. Four-wheel drives are definitely recommended. But staying in such a quiet bird filled paradise made the extra effort to get up there more than worth it."

Arriving there, Jorge drove us up the insanely steep awesome mountain to this beautiful property! He showed us around and made himself available for any help we needed during our stay.

"We stayed at this property for 5 weeks! My heart ached a little when it was time to go home. The comments about needing a 4 wheel drive are accurate. Oscar, the best concierge in the world, helped me with renting a vehicle since I could not find whether the rental vehicles were 4 wheel drive on the websites. From the time I secured this house rental one year earlier, Oscar was always helpful, friendly and immediately responsive whenever I communicated with him. It was wonderful being greated...

Will definitely return."

"The home is beautiful and the view is amazing. There are several outdoor dining and "hang out" areas that just add to the experience. The pool was perfect - our family was in it all the time. It is a short drive to Uvita (5 minutes). But the best part is Nicholas, Licho and Darling. They make sure your every need is covered and make you feel like family. Would 1000% stay here again."

"This house is truly incredible. The first morning I woke up to the sweeping view and sounds of the jungle I couldn’t stop smiling. Pay attention to the requirement for a 4 wheel drive car. The drive into the neighborhood is no joke. If my husband didn’t have off road experience I would not have done it. The room set up worked great for us (2 adults, kids 16, 14 & 8) but if I had younger kids the separate rooms would have felt too far from the primary suite. We spent hours in the pool,...

"Our recent stay at this property was enjoyable, offering a unique blend of indoor and outdoor living spaces. The house, while intriguing, may require some adjustment due to its unconventional layout. Notably, the front door provides security, but the accessibility of the stairs from the side of the house adds an interesting dynamic.The interior features a living room and kitchen enclosed within the same area, boasting floor-to-ceiling windows and sliders that afford stunning views of the pool...

"Second time staying in Uvita - this time with our boys, ages 12 and 17. Del's property is a beautiful paradise respite. Do beware, power outages can be a slight hinderance. It's par for the course up in those hills. We had several, mostly in the evening, and lasting a few hours. However, we were not deterred! Candles and a gas grill made all the difference. We were able to cook and clean and enjoy the night time jungle sights (lots of fireflies) and sounds without worry. Adrian, the property...
