About this house rental
Welcome to Villa Aracari...Located at a cool comfortable 200 meters above the dazzling coastline with Panoramic Ocean views including the Three Sister Islands. The home is located in the perfect spot where the constant gentle ocean breezes keep it cool and nestled in the jungle on several private acres of Paradise. The surrounding jungle promises an abundance of tropical sights and sounds that will delight you by day and night.... You will experience the best of Nature!
Monkeys, Toucans, Parrots, Coatimundi, and other Animals can be seen daily.... Be sure to have your camera ready!
Our home is located in a private gated community in the middle of a beautiful Rainforest region of Costa Rica. Its unique architecture offers a spacious open-air indoor/outdoor floor plan. Walk in and pinch yourself to make sure you are not dreaming!!!
Relax under the covered deck in a rocking chair, go for a swim in the beautiful infinity pool, or enjoy an ice cold drink made from the delicious fruits of the area while sitting on a lounge chair in the shade of the umbrella near the pool. This is the rhythm of your daily life at Villa Aracari.
The fully equipped kitchen with stainless steel appliances and beautiful custom wood cabinets is the social center of the home. For an extra special treat, create your own gourmet dinner and serve it in the dining area while enjoying the sunset views over the ocean. Sit in the living room, open the doors and windows, and create a large indoor/outdoor living space with panoramic views of the pool, surrounding jungle covered mountains, ocean, Bahia Ballena Beach and Bird life.
So many beautiful scenes will delight you as you sit on the balcony and watch in awe as the sunrise and sunset transform the sky! Watch from the balcony for the many varieties of wildlife in the area.
We take pleasure in sharing the beauty of Costa Rica by using materials manufactured locally and incorporated in the design throughout the house. Construction was done by local craftsman/artists. The railings are artistically handcrafted with local Mangrove roots and Bejuco vine. Several pieces of art on the walls of Villa Aracari were crafted by skilled descendants of the Mayan Indians.
While staying at Villa Aracari our Guests will always have the use of our entire property to themselves for total peace and tranquility.
The town of Uvita, and neighboring towns of Dominical and Ojochal offer fabulous Restaurants to delight your taste.
The private road up to Villa Aracari will take you on an Adventure passing by waterfalls, small bridges over streams, tree ferns, tropical flowers, surrounding jungle life and ocean views. You will see Costa Rica at its best!
Our staff/housekeepers have been trained regarding proper and safe cleaning techniques and property security. They understand how to safely use disinfect areas and dispose of trash, and cleaning supplies appropriately. Please feel safe to visit our home knowing it has been specially prepared using the protocols established and recommended by the government and vacation rental associations!
There are many thrilling and educational activities in the area...Something to please everyone. Our staff is available to assist with questions and bookings. See list of Activities later.

This is a tricky review to write.
First, the home is beautiful and the view?!?! Amazing. I've never seen so many butterflies and hummingbirds and heard so many bird calls and monkeys. You can feel the vibration of life around you and it is wonderful.
This is one of the better appointed VRBOs we've stayed in. Everything you need in the kitchen is there. Good appliances, cookware, plenty of towels. Washer / Dryer and laundry soap!
Having said that, this was not a great destination for us. If you want to stay at the house and enjoy the view, read your book and take a swim, it might work well for you. We wanted to come and go more, and that's where we bumped into some difficulty.
This may be on me. I read the description as 3 miles from Uvita. I saw that we would need a 4x4. We've driven on rough (!!) Costa Rican roads before. This was not surprising to us. What I didn't expect was just how long it would take us to get from Uvita to the house. With practice we got it down to 22 minutes. And that's 20+ minutes of very difficult driving. (I thought it would be a few minutes of rocky, rutted, challenging road.) It was over 40 minutes round trip just to run into town.
As a result, we didn't want to go down and up more than once a day, it was too much stress and kind of sucked all the Pura Vida out of us. Gone were my ideas that we'd jaunt into town for coffee and pastries, hop over to the beach in the afternoon, return home for showers and clean clothes and then scoot out to dinner. Instead, we made one trek each day and on two days decided to just stay in because we were tired of the difficult drive.
Then there's part two. We lost power. I know this is common in CR. We had a few 5-10 minute power hits as we expected. We brought flashlights just in case so we were ready. I'd picked up a little extra water as Claire had suggested.
The power stayed out for 22 hours. Without power, there's no water. No showers. No flushing toilets. No ceiling fans. No wi-fi for communication. Spotty cell service. I know the owners can't control the power grid. But having a generator might make sense. A stock of extra water. A bucket so we could use pool water to flush the toilets. I would have really appreciated a visit from a caretaker to check on us, maybe bring us a little food. We lost all the food in the fridge and an entire day of our vacation.
It's a beautiful home. Claire is very communicative. But we won't return.

Casa Aracari is situated on a beautiful property that allows visitors to enjoy the most beautiful views of the area. We certainly appreciated having downtime there after our adventures. Admittedly, the drive there is rather treacherous - definitely requires a 4 x 4! The manager was wonderful - extremely responsive and helpful. She sent a great deal of information prior to our stay and connected with us during. We really appreciated getting to know the caretaker, Marvin, and took him up on his offer to take us to see the waterfalls. We also met his brother and took a chocolate tour. It was a highlight of our trip - so personal!

This house is gorgeous and has a stunning view. There is a plethora of wildlife right there on the property.

If you want to get away from it all and don’t mind a little rough road to get to the top of the mountain this is a beautiful place to be. We spent our first 5 days at one of the best hotels in Costa Rica, but the last 8 days we spent here was magic. It was just the two of us, so swimming necked was awesome! I also love to cook so all my meals were exactly how I wanted them! That being said it was nice to have a small town 20 minutes down the mountain to eat out too.
