About this house rental
Casa Mar is one of 6 simple homes built in our tiny Pueblo at Playa Ballena. Along the main entry road to the Marina Ballena National Park-Playa Ballena is where these homes are located. These are affordable homes located within 600 meters of the tranquility and beautiful natural surroundings of Playa Ballena (Ballena Beach). It is a simple stroll to uncrowded beaches. And access is easy with a 2wd vehicle!
Casa Mar is the largest of the homes consisting of 3 bedrooms, 1 bath, a kitchen, dining room and living room. We just finished remodeling the home and it has high speed WiFi, tiled counter tops, entirely new bath, new furniture, 5 new ceiling fans, washer and dryer and full hot water throughout the home. There is a large front porch and huge private, covered deck at the rear of the house.
This home is ideal for a few night stopover in our tropical paradise or as a longer term rental for those looking to enjoy life here in Costa Rica. Stays of a week or longer will really enjoy the upgraded interior, washer/dryer and large patio and deck for additional sitting spaces. As the windows are wooden frames with screening throughout, we have installed a secured lock box for assuring security of valuables during your stay.
For larger groups, or even more budgeted oriented travelers, a second home consisting of 2 bedrooms and 1 bath may be available within the Pueblo.
You will enjoy your stay at Casa Mar and the beautiful Southern Coast of Ballena from Dominical to Ojochal. This home located perfectly in Playa Ballena, less than 1 minute to the main highway and then 5 minutes to either Uvita for shopping or Ojochal for it's culinary delights!
Nearby every Costa Rican adventure and activity is available. You can arrange a trip to the incredible and most bio-diverse area in Costa Rica, Corcovado National Park. Try surfing, stand-up paddle boards, kayaking, fishing, snorkeling or diving, horseback riding, waterfall tours, Zip line/canopy tours, Costa Rica's first and only Superman line, whale watching tours and more.
Prices do not include Costa Rica Sales tax of 13%

8 / 10Excellent·Feb 2020
The four star rating is based primarily on value for money. The house is very basic but it worked very well for us. It is described accurately in the listing, although you should be aware that the smallest bedroom is a walk-through, and access to the back deck requires walking through the bathroom or around the house from the front. We appreciated the amenities including reliable hot water (but not potable water), reliable wifi, washer and dryer. We very much enjoyed leisurely breakfasts on the back deck, where we could see toucans. Our other morning routines were usually a visit to the howler monkeys, who were staying in a tree 50 m down the road from the house, and watching the cows come down the path behind our porch, herded by a friendly farmer each morning. The beach is approx a 4min walk down the road to the national park gate (you will probably see brilliant blue morphos as well as the howlers on the road). A 5 min walk via the field in back takes you to a less populated beach, which is beautiful, and walking north for 10 to 15 min (at low tide) takes you to Arco beach, which is even more beautiful and deserted.
There were some issues with keys and the ceiling fans when we first arrived, but the owners were very responsive and fixed the problems.

The stay was wonderful. They upgraded us to a two bathroom cabin which was perfect. It even had air conditioning. We heard and saw the monkeys. We would definitely stay again!!

We loved the hospitality of Natalia and the clean, cozy casita. It was a short walk to Ballena Beach and just a bit further to the amazing Arco Beach.
We did not have a car, but the taxi rides to and from Uvita (for shopping or to see the waterfalls) were reasonable.
We would definitely recommend this to friends and family!

This was the perfect secure and comfortable homebase for my sun and I as we visited our former hometown. A short walk down a jungle road to one of my favorite beaches. I enjoyed waking up each morning to the sound of howler monkeys and birds. The cabin is well equipped with essentials, wifi and AC worked perfectly. The cabins are a perfect mid point between Uvita and Ojochal. Natalia and David are very kind and knowledgeable hosts. We hope to visit again soon.
