Christine and Tom were great hosts
8 / 10Excellent·Dec 2025
This was a great location with eaay access to the beach with only a few minutes of walking. The host met us and showed us to the place and gave a nice walk through. They were easy to communicate with. The only bothersome part was when we asked for a later check out and they responded with "what time works for you" then proceeded to say we needed to stick with the original time since they had it rented again that night. If the management team knew that, why even ask about a time that worked for us. One suggestion would be larger beach towels. There were several kid sizes that where small for adults. Overall, we enjoyed the stay and would recommend this place to other families.

We had a lovely time in Uvita, the house was just as described and the owners were excellent to deal with. Would stay there again in a heartbeat!
10 / 10Outstanding·Mar 2025
We had a wonderful week at Casita Uvita! The host, Tom, was very helpful in getting us settled. The best part was when we saw some monkeys one day in the trees by the pool! The back yard was a real oasis with some interesting birds and the amazing pool. We enjoyed the beautiful beach at Marino Ballena National Park in Uvita (we spotted a sloth in a tree near the entrance), the Uvita Waterfalls and butterfly garden, and it was a good area jump off to other destinations: Osa/Sierpe (ziplining and mangrove boat tour), Alturas Wildlife Rescue Centre, and Manuel Antonio National Park. The patio by the pool did get a little buggy in the evening. The kids loved seeing 3 big toads and the little gecko lizards that come out at night. We enjoyed using the new barbecue to make some dinners. The house was very clean and well equipped. We really appreciated the air conditioning and fans. We were 4 adults and 4 kids aged 7-12 (2 families from Canada) sharing the space. Thank you for a wonderful holiday that we will always remember!
