Lovely vacation but...

We spent one week in casa uvita in family with our two boys. It was great to live into the wild life, watching animals and wonderful view on the pacific. Antonio is a great cooker, all was trully wonderful. The house is bigger than the pictures let appear. All was there to spend memorable vacation but we haven't been warned of the dangers of the area, and especially on the beaches of Marino Ballena parc. And at the end of our holidays, we have been attacked by two savages on playa Arco. They were masked and had machetes. We were threatened with death, and rubbers stole our baggs with money, credit card, driving license, passports, and professional camera with all our souvenirs. I have been hurted, and one of our children escaped into the rain forest... we had news of him one hour after the attack. Paradise became an horror movie ! It happened in February, and we are still shocking. Police has done nothing to find the rubbers, the locals from the first house were not helpfull, but fortunately, a group of tourist next house were very kind and helpfull with us. We still don't understand why we have nerver been alerted about the dangers of the area, especially on the beaches. We told to Antonio on the morning we wanted to go on playa Arco, we told to the guard of the parc, nobody told us Arco is very dangerous... and we were in family ! We can't believe that locals didn't know these attacks since three monthes on playa Arco. So be very very vigilant on Marina Ballena, some guys are hidden with machetes to steal you, we aren't only one to have this kind of bad experience ! Our trip have been ruined.

Exceeded our Costa Rica Dreams

Casa Uvita was all we had hoped for when we planned our trip to Costa Rica! In choosing a house, we were impressed with the commitment to sustainability and the natural surroundings. When we arrived, it was clear that we got that and more. We were truly immersed in nature on all side: Birds, butterflies, monkeys, lizards, and an amazing diversity of plants. Each of the porches provides a different perspective of the beauty of Costa Rica. The front is a garden with many flowering plants that attract butterflies. As a butterfly fan, I was in heaven. (I guess if you live in CR you get used to the blue morphos) but they never ceased to excite and delight me.)Both sides of the house are in the jungle. It was fun to watch the monkeys as they traveled through. The upstairs side porch provides an eye-level view of the activity in the trees. From the upstairs back porch there is an ocean view, which is especially nice for sunset. In addition to the natural beauty, the house is amazing. Beautifully decorated with art and textiles, a well equipped kitchen, a library with fiction as well as field guides, comfy beds, great bathrooms. The house is designed to maximize breezes and natural light. We enjoyed the outdoor dining area for all of our meals. The patio and pool were great areas to relax. The pool was cleaned every day. Our host Michelle was very friendly and responsive. I'd like to say more but it seems I'm exceeding my space. I just can't say enough about the joy of Casa Uvita!

Beautiful Jungle House!

Just a terrific place to stay - even nicer than the pictures look. Pool is beautiful and huge. Rooms are very spacious and beautifully furnished. Ceiling fans kept things comfortably cool at night. Michelle is a great host who lives next door - she brought coffee over each morning, a nice touch. You feel like you’re deep in the jungle, but you have the convenience of restaurants, groceries, etc at the bottom of the hill less than 10 minutes away. It’s a dirt road up the hill to the house, but it was no problem. Would highly recommend this unique place!

Beautiful home away from the crowds

Our group of four just loved this vacation home and it's owner Michelle. The home is surrounded by the jungle and lots of Costa Rican wildlife. We loved the many different areas to relax in and around the house. The furniture was very comfortable, the kitchen was well equipped, and the beds were fantastic as well! A big bonus was the boogie boards and beach chairs available for use. As recommended by Michelle, we hiked the trail on the property to the beautiful river. It was a great experience but it was a workout! We spent also spent a lot of time in the pool - it too was lovely. We saw monkeys, an ant-eater, Scarlet Macaws, parrots and numerous other birds. I highly recommend having breakfast in the little cafe on the property. Rene is a fabulous cook and she prepared a wonderful breakfast for us on our last morning. The house is off the grid but we had no problems and always had power. The ceiling fans did a great job keeping us cool while we slept. We just loved Casa Uvita and will definitely return!

Beautiful, seclude home, surrounded by nature

Lovely stay with friends at a gorgeous home, which was decorated with art and furniture created by artisans from the area, making the stay especially unique. Renee did a great job hosting since Michele was out of town. Someone is always present on the property and/or available by phone. Woke up to howler monkeys every morning. Recommended if you want to be close to the beaches of Uvita but in a jungle setting.

Breathtaking home, great location and most generous host ever!

As all the other reviewers have mentioned, this place is magical. Michele has preserved a unique space in the wild, as much of the surrounding area of Uvita continues to grow and further develop into the forest. Her space is quiet, filled with wildlife and a welcoming atmosphere for you to explore as you wish. Within the first days, we saw a sloth, toucans, howler monkeys, basilisk lizards, katydids, toads and so many beautiful birds surrounding the home. To get there from the main road, we drove up a short hill (5+ minutes) through the trees and jungle canopy to the property (easy to find signage all along the way). Michele was there to greet us and help answer any questions as soon as we arrived -- with a platter of cookies in tow! My kids fell in love with this place immediately. I travelled with my two children (ages 7 and 10) and mother, and we were beyond comfortable in the spacious bedrooms and beautiful porches that wrap around the property. The pool was perfect for cooling down at the end of an adventurous day. The location of this property was also incredibly convenient if you want to stay in one place, and have lots at your fingertips. Lovely beaches, horseback riding and other excursions just 10 minutes away, and an incredible tour of the mangroves in Sierpe just 1 hour drive (highly recommend!). So much to see and do, but without needing to spend lots of time in the car to get there. There are also plenty of restaurants (all with many dietary options), bakeries, well-stocked grocery stores, banks for anything you might need during your trip. Throughout our time, Michele was always available to help with recommendations, arranging bookings and connecting with great local guides who know the area best. Don't pass up the chance to stay here -- it was a gift to meet Michele and visit this magical place she has stewarded. Thank you for everything!

Great secluded get away

My wife and I and another older couple stayed for four nights at Casa Uvita in January. The house was beautiful and well appointed. There was plenty of room to relax and enjoy the view of the forest and ocean. The bird and animal sounds were mesmerizing and the pool was a real treat. We would recommend this house to anyone, with or without children.

This breathtakingly gorgeous home and exceptional owner made our time in Uvita the best vacation we’ve ever had. Pictures do not capture the magnitude of beauty surrounding this home, nor do they convey what an amazing host Michele is. Michele made our stay extremely special and her warmth and kindness are without equal - we will miss her as much as Casa Uvita. Cannot recommend Casa Uvita enough. Our family made everlasting memories there. Pura Vida!

Best stay of our Costa Rican Adventure!!

Two families (8 of us) recently traveled to Costa Rica. We stayed in 5 places and without hesitation CASA UVITA was our favorite! All the reviews were so correct - the property manager was fabulous and helped us so much with booking great tours in the area. So glad we went with her recommendations. We all fell in love with this house within the first 15 minutes of arriving and our feeling only increased as we explored the property, hiked to the nearby river, ate at the wonderful cafe, and experienced the wildlife around the property. We saw more monkeys and parrots at this property than during many of our formal tours! We could not recommend this property more highly!

Nature immersion instantly!

If you ever wonder what it's like to feel a direct connection with nature, then this place is for you! Within 5 minutes you go from feeling the white sand in your feet to immerse yourself into the wilderness where the house is located. From monkeys and toucans to hummingbirds and butterflies, flora and fauna in different sizes and colors create an experience for all your senses. The house had everything we needed to have a comfortable stay, a clean pool, amazing ocean view, very close to supermarkets and restaurants (make sure you visit Scala, great atmosphere and food) and Reneé prepared breakfast for us, we loved it!

Superb

Casa Uvita is a marvelous off the grid luxury home. The house can happily accommodate either a couple like us or a group of family or friends of multi generations. There are many spaces in which to enjoy the outdoors in or out of out of the sun. The pool is very private. The view over the jungle to the Pacific is breathtaking. Sunsets are magnificent. The range of tropical flora and fauna is immense. Before breakfast we listened to the howler monkeys and then were able to watch as many as 5 at a time as we ate our breakfast. The Casa Uvita facility is made infinitely nicer by the presence on the property of the owner, Michelle and her staff. Michelle is a fountain of energy and information about the flora and fauna and the many, many activities possible in the Uvita area. She is quite delighted to share her knowledge. She has recently opened a breakfast cafe on property. We enjoyed breakfast there each day from the menu which included fresh fruits, just baked breads and pastries, and a full eggs and bacon meal. Conversation with Michelle, her staff, and other cafe guests was a great way to start each day. The staff will provide massage, yoga, or various hikes if desired. Equally they are wonderful making reservations for any of the Costa Rican adventures like zip lining, paragliding, whale watching, birding, or exploring the national parks. Casa Uvita is first rate for a restful respite from the world or as a base for adventuring or a combination of both.

Fabulous Rain forest retrear

Michelle was terrific answering all our pre-trip questions and providing perfect directions to Casa Uvita which was two kilometers up a mud road with a beautiful view overlooking the rain forest and the pacific. The howler monies arrived late every afternoon and barked us awake at dawn each day. We saw toucan, sloth, howlers and many other birds and animals on the property. Michelle arranged horseback riding, provided great breakfasts every morning and was always around to help or answer questions. This was a wonderful place for our six member three generation family to enjoy the new year. We all recommend it without reservation.

A week in paradise!

When we arrived Michelle gave us a tour of the house. It’s the only place I’ve ever stayed that brought tears to my eyes because it’s so beautiful! I was so overwhelmed. Our stay for the next five days was a dream. Listening to howler monkeys at 5:00 am, watching the monkeys in the trees, enjoying the birds, laying by the pool or our balcony. We stopped at a nearby grocery so was able to make our own breakfast and lunch. There Is a waterfall nearby Johnny can drive you to the walk through the jungle with you. It’s so worth the hike! The beaches near by are stunning. We had a car so could drive to beaches. Went to Dominical one day and enjoyed that. Michelle is a great host and lives in a house next to the rental so is there for any questions. We SO want to come back! We highly recommend this. Really is a dream place to stay.

Paradise

Not only do you have peaceful privacy but also your own pool and BBQ grill, all immersed in a beautiful rainforest, but you also have a wonderful view and a short drive to the famous “whale tail” beach. It is a birder’s paradise, and an ideal place for couples or families traveling together. It was totally worth the price and I we will be back! (We were one family of five, a friend and her son and another friend.)

Paradise in Costa Rica

Casa Uvita is true paradise. The home is beautiful, well maintained and tucked away in the mountains surrounded by jungle with an amazing view of the south pacific ocean. Every day we saw monkeys, birds, and other wildlife from one of the many outdoor living areas. The pool was a huge hit with the boys. Michele is a wonderful hostess who helped us schedule fabulous local tours to include horseback riding, fishing and kayaking. She also provided advice on different beaches and the best times to visit during our stay. Her knowledge of the local area was exceptional and extremely helpful for our daily excursions. Johnny, the caretaker at Casa Uvita, guided us one afternoon to a local waterfall and swimming hole which we had all to ourselves! If you’re looking for peaceful tranquility and blissful seclusion in Costa Rica, look no further and stay here, you will not be disappointed! Thanks Michele and Johnny for an unforgettable family vacation! It was truly hard to leave. We will be back! Pura Vida!

Beautiful, peaceful stay in Uvita

We had a wonderful stay at Casa Uvita! The house is located on a dirt road (perfect for walking), just 10 minutes from the beach and grocery stores, etc. in Uvita. The house is beautiful, well-stocked, clean, and comfortable. There are many outdoor spaces to relax and enjoy the surroundings. We spent hours in the hammocks watching the monkeys and birds, and enjoying the breeze. While we were there at the hottest time of the year, sleeping under the ceiling fans was comfortable. Michelle went above and beyond to make our stay great. In advance of the trip, she helped book excursions for us to go zip lining, waterfall repelling, and horseback riding--all were amazing. She and Johnny (the caretaker) were quick to share wildlife sightings with us. Johnny took us on a hike to waterfall swimming hole one day. While the house is spectacular, Michelle's hospitality made our stay even more memorable. We can't wait to return to Costa Rica and Casa Uvita someday!

Casa Uvita was amazing!

I read all 50 plus reviews before our trip, and I have to say, they were all true. Michele was the perfect host making sure all our needs were met. She was always available and provided us with information on beaches, restaurants, birds and more. She took us on a birding hike, and her assistant, Johnny, took us to an amazing waterfall with a beautiful swimming hole beneath it. The house was clean and had everything you might need. Beds were comfy. It is truly a beautifully built very spacious home in an excellent location minutes from the beach and Uvita. All the bedrooms are very private, three with attached lovely baths. The pool, and view of the ocean from nearly every window, was fabulous. You need an all wheel drive vehicle to make the short trip up to the house. But the best thing was the wildlife... We were awakened by howler monkeys and parrots every morning by 5:30 a.m. What a thrill! And the toucans were everywhere. We saw many other species of birds, basilisk lizards, a sloth and more. Michele also hooked us up with two excursions: One a night walk and the other a birding tour followed by a good Costa Rican breakfast. Thanks to Michele for a fabulous week.

Beautiful, eco conscious home

Beautiful home overlooking Playa Uvita. The caretakers were wonderful and we really enjoyed our stay. A word of caution- The howler monkeys are not reliable alarm clocks. The one morning we were scheduled for an early birding tour at Oro Verde (highly recommended- even for nonbirders like us) - the monkeys skipped the 5 am wake up call! Really fun spot. We loved watching the wildlife and visiting just a handful of the many amazing, beautiful spots in the area. Wish we could have stayed for weeks!

Hidden Hillside Gem in Uvita

This rental was a wonderful experience for our visit to Uvita. I was admittedly a little nervous about staying in a rental that is completely off the grid. It's easy to get spoiled by on demand air conditioning, high speed internet, and all the other conveniences we are used to. It turns out that it was really a great experience and we didn't feel like we missed out on anything. Since there are no glass windows anywhere in the house, you really get a great feel for indoor/outdoor living. Bugs were not really an issue since there were plenty of screens in the wall openings and all of the beds had screen canopies. The lack of A/C was not an issue either since there was plenty of solar battery power to operate the ceiling fans all night long. They have a great collection of dvd's for those nights where you might just want to sit and watch something on tv. Internet access is adequate, although a little on the slow side. It's kind of nice being forced to unplug when on vacation anyway, right? The house itself is wonderful and very well built. The large rooms are all well appointed with great furniture and lots of fantastic artwork. The bathrooms are all beautiful and unique in their own way. There are lots of public gathering spaces and private areas, depending on your mood and the views from the balconies are fantastic. The private pool off the back kitchen is just the icing on the cake. Michele was a wonderful hostess and really went above and beyond to make our stay fun. She hooked us up with local tour guides and special discounts that we probably would not have found on our own. Her staff also did a great job of daily light housekeeping and were very gracious as well. We would highly recommend this rental for anyone staying the in the Uvita area. The location allows for easy access to all the attractions from the Osa peninsula to the awesome surfing beaches at Dominical. The house is very close to excellent options for shopping and restaurants as well. We really hit the jackpot with this find!
