We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Mas Palmas! Our kids loved playing in the pool, the open air kitchen and living space were great, and the bedrooms cool and comfortable. Uvita is two minutes away and the local beaches and restaurants were lovely. Finally, Sarah made our stay easy, with good recommendations and she was really helpful as we struggled to rearrange our trip and get home in the midst of border closures. When this has all passed, book yourself a ticket to Costa Rica and stay at Mas Palmas.

This was an absolutely stunning property. The pool and surrounding jungle were a great place to relax and look for wildlife. We happened to go at the time of year that cidades breed in the area. They create quite an orchestra during the day which caught us off guard at first, but we quickly adjusted to the noise. They became a running joke through the stay >:P the hosts were easy to contact and we had a truly unforgettable stay. Thank you Sarah and Logan for opening up your home for us to enjoy

We recently stayed at Sarah and Logan's home in Uvita with a family of 4 - and we LOVED it. After travelling extensively through costa rica we can honestly say this was our favourite home. It checked all our boxes - spacious pool, well-equipped kitchen, comfy beds, effective fans/A/C, wifi, and a spectacular connection with the jungle. Our boys were thrilled to regularly see capuchins, toucans, jesus christ lizards, hummingbirds and lots of noisy insects ;) We actually preferred this house to the one we stayed at the week previously which had spectacular ocean views. This home is perfectly situated on the property to capture the best connection with the surrounding jungle and also the best shading from the intense late day heat. Besides that there are a lot of little thoughtful things - nightlights everywhere, phone charging cables, beach chairs, a cooler, new linens, lots of towels. The area is great if you are into beaches, surfing or wildlife. We surfed at Dominical (15 minute drive), Dominicalito, Hermosa, and Colonia (10 minute drive). We drove an hour to Manuel Antonio and saw sloths and monkeys. You can also access Corcovado or Cano Island with an hour and a half boat ride from Uvita. The snorkelling off of Cano was amazing. Lots of good restaurants within a 15 minute drive from the house as well. The kids enjoyed interacting with Amber the dog, and the house was tidied daily by Melania (caretaker). Overall we really felt at home here and would love to return one day. Pura Vida.
