Summary of reviewsGuests enjoyed the comfortable villa with great views, quick communication with hosts, and a fantastic concierge for tour needs. Highlight was spotting toucans in the morning.
10 / 10Outstanding·May 2025
Beautiful property and unbelievable view. Extremely happy!
10 / 10Outstanding·Feb 2025
The views were absolutely amazing! Very clean and nicely furnished. Great communication with Jerome, the property manager ,and Cathleen, the concierge. Both were very helpful and responsive. The one drawback was the drive to the house. Although not far from Uvita and Playa Hermosa. The steepness of going up the mountain and then down to the driveway of the house limited are coming and going throughout the day.was, the end of the day
8 / 10Excellent·Jul 2024
We recently had the pleasure of staying at a VRBO in Costa Rica, and it was an experience close to idyllic. Nestled in a quiet, secluded area, the property not only offered breathtaking views of the Pacific and the Whale Tail but also provided us with completely unobstructed views of the stunning sunsets, which became a highlight of our stay.
The covered deck outside was a personal oasis, where we spent countless hours relaxing and soaking up the ocean and beach views. The small infinity pool adjacent to the deck added to the luxury, offering a perfect spot for cooling off while still basking in the scenic beauty.
Our check-in process was smooth and our host was exceptionally responsive, ensuring a comfortable start to our stay. The property's location struck a perfect balance between seclusion and accessibility, with gorgeous beaches like Playa Uvita and Playa Hermosa just a 10-15 minute drive away. Moreover, the roads leading up to the property were very nicely paved, making the journey pleasant and easy.
It's important to note for future visitors that the final 50-75 meters to the house are extremely steep and consist of a dirt road. This section requires a 4-wheel drive, especially under challenging weather conditions. While the majority of the journey is on well-paved roads, this last stretch is crucial to navigate safely and comfortably.
While the property had much to love, there were a few areas where it could shine even more. A microwave would be a handy addition
6 / 10Average·Feb 2024
While there are many positive aspects to the property, it's essential to note that access requires a 4x4 vehicle. Regular cars may get stuck, potentially impacting a portion of your vacation. This is a crucial detail that was not included in the initial description.
