About this villa rental


Place yourself in the heart of the Costa Rica jungle with a stay at beautiful Villa Dalu.

From the moment you enter the property at Villa Dalu, you'll be surrounded by a lush, tropical rainforest where budding starfruit, lime, and mango trees dot the driveway. Wild birds and howler monkeys will provide the soundtrack for your mornings, while immaculate sunsets rule the evening hours and privacy is always paramount.

Located just a few clicks north of the southern Pacific coastal town of Uvita, Villa Dalu is a 3-bedroom, 2 ½-bath luxury vacation rental property that is ideal for up to six guests. Children are always welcome at Villa Dalu.

The grounds feature a fantastic infinity swimming pool with sweeping jungle views and a partial ocean view. As is a custom in Costa Rica, there's plenty of outdoor living space with a BBQ, pool lounge chairs, and plenty of kick-back seating. With temperatures hovering in the '80s day and night, there's never a bad time to take a dip in the pool at Villa Dalu.

Walking through the front door, you'll be swept away by the villa's stunning ceiling-to-floor glassdoor sightlines and vaulted wood ceiling. From the kitchen table, you can literally watch toucans and hawks buzz past these windows in search of their daily meals. It's an awesome ritual that puts you right in the middle of the jungle action.

The home is also fully stocked with all of the proper equipment you'll need for a fulfilling, yet relaxing, vacation, including new cooking utensils, a blender, coffee pot, and dishwasher. Other home amenities include a washer and dryer as well as wireless internet.

As mentioned, there are 3 bedrooms and 2 ½ bathrooms total. Two of the three bedrooms feature king beds, while the third bedroom has a pair of twin beds. Each bedroom has an air-conditioning unit. The master bedroom features an en-suite bathroom and direct access to the pool deck, with spectacular views as well.

From the international airport in San Jose, it takes about 3 ½ hours to drive to the area where Villa Dalu is located. You will need a 4x4 vehicle to make the short drive up the mountain from the coastal highway. From the property, it takes 15 minutes to drive into Uvita town, where you'll find grocery stores, pharmacies, banks, restaurants, bars, and shopping.

There are also some exciting tour activities nearby, including deep-sea fishing, surfing lessons, ATV rides, SUP tours, kayaking, snorkeling, river rafting, canopy zip lines, horseback riding, and a couple of epic waterfall hikes. The beaches in this zone are among the nation's finest, including the world-famous Whale's Tail reef, which you can actually see from the property when the tides are right, as well as the mesmerizing sea caves of Playa Ventanas.

Villa Dalu is managed by YouGetHere Vacation Rentals. From the time you inquire about the property to the day you check out, the YouGetHere staff is always an email or phone call away to assist with any questions or concerns. We also have great local contacts for an in-home meal and massage services, as well as connections with the best tour operators in town.

YouGetHere Vacation Rentals features concierge service to assist with car rental reservations, airport shuttle rides, local tour bookings, as well as the top in-home chef and massage contacts in town. Whatever you need to make this tropical vacation an exceptional experience, YouGetHere is ready to work for you

It's rare to get to spend quality time in a place as awe-inspiring as Villa Dalu. There just aren't many locations like this on Planet Earth, where you step foot out your front door and are immediately standing in a tropical jungle. But the good news is we still have space available for you and your crew at Villa Dalu. From this point forward, it's up to you.

A 4x4 vehicle is essential to access this property.

Check-in times are between 4:00 PM and 8:30 PM.
Check-out times are between 5:00 AM and 10:00 AM.

The villa is very well equipped, everything is clean and the fittings are high quality. The location is incredibly beautiful, surrounded by many plants and offering a wonderful view. With the fly screens on the windows, you can leave the doors open all day and don’t need air conditioning. The road to the villa is easy to drive on, on a paved road with only the last 500 meters unpaved, but that’s not a problem. We’re excited to come back soon. We can hardly wait to return.

Absolutely wonderful house and location. Our 12th CR visit and this house took over the top spot for us, and we have stayed in many great houses. 10 min drive up mountain is paved 99% of the way, that is rare experience vs the dirt bumpy roads to most houses. You will not regret spending your vacation in this slice of paradise. Tucans love the place also with daily morning and evening visits with up to 7 in one tree on my visit.

10 / 10Outstanding·Jul 2025
Property was just as advertised—very clean and well appointed for our weeklong stay. We do a lot of VRBO rentals, and some can feel cluttered or poorly managed. This home felt thoughtfully put together. The views are amazing, and the morning toucans were a great bonus. The You Get There team helped us plan several excursions, as well as an in-home massage and private chef dinner.The only downside is that there’s no A/C in the main living area. Since we visited in July, it got a bit warm during the day and some evenings. I would have preferred A/C in all rooms, but that’s really our only complaint. Great value for an excellent experience.
