About this house rental
Recently renovated with new deck overlooking the mountain views to compliment the already existing deck by the pool with ocean view. New fixtures, paint, etc. *No children under 12 years of age
Two king bedrooms each with full bathrooms, AC, and high speed wifi. Gated, private entrance with covered parking.
Perfectly situated in an elevated neighborhood capturing cool mountain breezes while enjoying jaw-dropping views. Easy access to one of the most beautiful waterfalls and river systems in Costa Rica.
I fell in love with this property because of the dramatic valley, jungle and ocean views. I believe you will too. It sits high above two river valleys and adjacent to a waterfall below, easily accessible by car or short hike. You will want to be there every day.
This home was built in 2011, highlighting Asian characteristics with indoor / outdoor living and sliding glass doors that disappear into the wall for total access to the pool area. There are two bedrooms each with private bathrooms. The master has an outdoor shower and indoor Jacuzzi tub . The second bedroom has an indoor shower. The living area is accented by a fireplace that is only for decor. There is a patio adjacent to the pool where you can enjoy private sunbathing , stargazing and yoga. A/C is available in the bedrooms but is rarely needed as there is usually a steady breeze through the home keeping the temperature pleasant during the day and possibly 'chilly' at night.
I love to cook so the kitchen is stocked with the necessary pots, pans, mixing bowls, utensils etc to create a fantastic meals without leaving the mountain.
There is so much to offer that it is best to see the pictures and email me with any other questions you may have .
Pura Vida!!

We found the house to be clean, safe and comfortable. The outdoor shower was incredible. Located about a 20 km drive up the mountain on paved road surrounded by natural beauty. Elevated high in the jungle with a beautiful view of the jungle and Whales Tail!Multiple outdoor setting areas and private pool were quiet peaceful areas to relax and unwind while enjoying nature and watching the local Toucans, Macaws and Kiskadaes.

This was the perfect house for our 3 month stay. Beautiful views of both ocean & jungle, lots of wildlife, more birds than my Merlin ID could keep up with. The kitchen, though a little dated, was more than sufficient for regular cooking. The patio was sublime for hanging out, & the pool was sparkling clean. AC in both bedrooms worked great when needed, although ocean breezes kept us cool enough most of the time. The king size beds were comfortable. Nothing like a 5 am wake up call from the howler monkeys every day! We would absolutely rent this home again.

Amazing location, just 15 minutes into Uvita with shopping, restaurants and great beaches. The house was perfect for a couple and two teenagers. It had everything we needed to prepare meals. The outdoor shower in the master bathroom was very relaxing. We spent a lot of time in the pool, relaxing and enjoying the jungle. The toucans were very entertaining and we liked being able to add more birds to our life list. We enjoyed the night hike and waterfall hike nearby. The hosts were great to deal with and responsive. We were sad to leave and would highly recommend this rental.

Having stayed at several different accomodations in previous visits to Costa Rica, this location certainly impressed us in 2023. So we booked again in 2024. The view is still great and the private pool most welcome. However we were surprised to find full garbage (used toilet tissue) in bathroom at check-in along with other refuse in the kitchen. Overall, the cleanliness seemed to have sunk from the previous year. The house looked more "tired". Also we were struck at the number of geckos inside the house compared to other similar properties where we have stayed. Each morning we cleaned up a new overnight crop of gecko faeces from counters, bed covers, tables etc. More disturbingly, after mysterious bites on ourselves, we found microscopic (biting) ants all over our pillows and bed. We later learned that the ants have been a recurring problem over time in the main bedroom (the bed had been previously dismantled and treated). This had a profound negative impact on the balance of our stay which wouldn't have been possible if we were with another couple as we used the second bedroom. Sadly, we will not be staying here on a future trip to the region.
