About this house rental

Opulent, seductive, and lush, Casa Gandhi delivers the ultimate in luxury and privacy. This architectural masterpiece ocean-view estate is nestled on 18 pristine acres of rainforest, conveniently located just 9 minutes south of Uvita in a private gated community. You’re minutes from stunning beaches, the Costanera highway, dozens of excellent restaurants, eco-adventure tours, and the charming town of Uvita with shops, banks, and services.

Set at 800 feet elevation, Casa Gandhi offers commanding panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean and five offshore islands. Expansive glass doors welcome refreshing ocean breezes into a light-filled home with ceiling fans in every room. Begin your mornings sipping coffee while watching scarlet macaws and howler monkeys serenade the sunrise. Explore the lush grounds filled with tropical flora and fauna, including agouti, coati, sloths, and white-faced monkeys. Explore the private rainforest trail that leads to our secluded waterfall, where you can take a refreshing dip in the natural pool and enjoy a peaceful picnic surrounded by the sounds of nature.

The main house offers two beautifully appointed, air-conditioned bedrooms—each with its own en suite bathroom, plush bedding, and serene garden or ocean views—ensuring a peaceful and luxurious night’s rest. For additional comfort and privacy, the property also includes two fully air-conditioned guest houses: one with a separate living area and sleeper sofa, ideal for families or couples traveling together.

* Main House (sleeps 4): 2 air-conditioned bedrooms, 2.5 baths
* Ocean Casita (sleeps 4): 1 bedroom, 1 bath, living room sleeper sofa, fully air-conditioned
* Jungle Casita (sleeps 2): 1 bedroom, 1 bath, fully air-conditioned

The guest houses are only rented together with the main house to ensure your complete privacy. The base rate includes 4 guests in the main house, with additional casitas available for larger parties. Please enter the correct number of guests when booking to ensure fair pricing and exceptional value.

Enjoy endless adventure, ocean, rainforest and cultural experiences. Set along Costa Rica’s southern Pacific coast, this region is home to Marina Ballena National Park, famous for the iconic Whale Tail formation and seasonal visits from magnificent humpback whales. Explore uncrowded beaches, scenic waterfalls, and vibrant reefs ideal for snorkeling and scuba diving. Adventure seekers will love surfing, canyoning, kayaking, ziplining, and horseback riding, while cultural and nature lovers can enjoy cacao farm tours, indigenous village visits, or local cooking classes. There's truly something for everyone.

After a day of adventure, return home to unwind with a poolside couples massage, prepare gourmet meals in the sleek kitchen with stainless steel appliances and a gas cooktop, or enjoy a private chef experience. Dine al fresco while watching breathtaking sunsets over the ocean and jungle vistas, then relax by the exquisite pool or cozy up with a movie using the HDTV and fiber-optic Wi-Fi.

Where do you start??? This place was amazing!! From start to finish Christine and her team made this stay special. After a short drive up the mountain you arrive at paradise to say the least. The views are the best I’ve ever seen, pool and outside space left us in awe, the inside open air design was fun to enjoy early mornings. Kevin the chef was top notch and made the best Banana bread. We will be back soon…. Every expectation was far exceeded, Thanks to Christine and the team!!

We absolutely loved everything about this house. The view was amazing. We were surrounded by the rainforest with tons of animals and birds. It is very private and quiet but it is close enough to the town of Uvita to get groceries or go to restaurants or the national park to see whales. It is extremely well stocked and comfortable. The outside bathtub is fabulous. Tom and Christine were very responsive and helpful to all our questions and the caretakers Elberth and Marilyn were so helpful and sweet. We would love to come back to this house and would recommend it highly to anyone who wants a relaxing, peaceful, comfortable place to enjoy Costs Rica.

Excellent stay with easy check-in process and house provided all necessities for our stay. The view from the backyard was spectacular, pool was great for cooling off and location was very close to all the main locations in Uvita.
