About this house rental
This 2350 sq. ft. two level house at an altitude of 980 ft. on 43 acres offers two spacious bedrooms on the second level with their own private stairs. Fabulous wood ceilings, ceiling fans, large windows for unobstructed views and cool breezes. Each bedroom can accommodate 2 people.
Level one offers two full baths with hot water, and two additional outdoor cold showers, open kitchen, dining & lounge area with jungle views to the north and ocean views to the south.
The kitchen is equipped with a four top propane stove top, a microwave, blender, toaster, coffee maker and two small refrigerators. There is also an outdoor charcoal grill under the pool palapa.
All nestled within the daily life of the jungle where white face and howler monkey's make canopy runs only yards away high up in the trees. A birders paradise with so many species gracing your views throughout your stay. Toucans, McCaw's, parrots, humming birds and hawks are among the many birds you will see without having to move from a relaxing swing in one of the 3 hammocks.
Hot water, electricity and wi-fi.
Walking trails for the more adventurist who want to get into the jungle without having to find their own way. Trails will lead you to a river in one direction and streams with pooling water and falls in another. Although striking out on your own, on this 43 acre privately owned property, can be some of the finer excursions one can do.
This property is gated and has an onsite caretaker 24/7 at the entrance.
Laundry service is available at $9 per load. Drop off at 8a.m. and it will be returned next morning. If you need expedited service let us know.
Trash removal as required or local drop off is available.

Beach mats are available for rent at $3 per mat
A 4x4 vehicle will be needed for the public road to the property and most of your excursions.
Area attractions: Beaches, waterfalls, festivals, churches, shopping & restaurants.
Leisure Activities: Bird watching, horseback riding, sight seeing, forest / jungle, whale watching, zip lining, white water rafter, beach combing, ATV tours and so much more. Please inquire about any specific activities you are looking for.

This place was absolutely amazing. The hosts were super helpful giving us recommendations and booking trips for us which we normally always do ourselves. If we had hosts like Lori and Bobby, we will always have them book for us as they have knowledge we don’t have or the internet doesn’t always give us. The location was super clean and the lower level outdoor living was so cool and there weren’t any issues with mosquitos (I’m allergic to them and know when I get bit). If you are contemplating staying here, I highly highly recommend. I’m missing it so much now that we are back in Chicago. So go ahead, book the trip. It was our third trip to Costa Rica and this was definitely our top accommodations we have had.

Absolutely beautiful location. You feel completely immersed in the jungle but also have a beautiful view down to the ocean. The grounds felt very safe, they had a tire swing for kids to play on and we went on multiple nature walks to see some amazing wildlife. Would highly recommend for anyone visiting Uvita.

Eerything was great. You are very much open air living in the jungle in the most beautiful house. Truly glamping at its best. Best to be aware that there are no walls except bedrooms and bathrooms, so wildlife is coming and going freely - so be careful at night for snakes which we did see each night close by. Magical and Wild in the best ways.

We had an amazing time at this property. It was private and close to everything we needed. Groceries, restaurants and the beach are all about 5-10 minute drive down the mountain. We were surrounded by monkeys and toucans...it was really nice and the view was incredible. We also took a walk along the trails that lead us down to streams and a water pool, it was very cool to explore. Lori was super polite and available for any questions we had. Our family had a wonderful time and loved everything about the property. Thank you for the lovely stay. Pedro, Vera and little Julian
