All we could have hoped for! Paradise found!

We saw the listing, read the reviews and were absolutely looking forward to our brief stay in this little gem. As it turns out, this is one of the top Vrbo properties we have ever rented. This home was set up so well and had so many extra's that many owners seem to forget. Spices, cooking spray, all the pots and pans you could ever want. Food storage containers, several ice cube trays, which in this climate is a must. Coolers and beach chairs and more towels for the plunge pool than we could use in a month. And speaking of the plunge pool, what a refreshing way to end your day. Also they have two outdoor showers, a fenced in parking area, I could go on all day. For 2 or 4 people this is the perfect little nest to call home for however long you visit might be. Two markets within walking distance, a great Tex Mex restaurant 100 meters away and the National Park an 8 minute walk from the house. Can't wait to spend some more time here...

Great Home Base

Loved this house. Has everything you need. Some issues to address up front, though: the address provided was incorrect. “Second driveway past the Mexican restaurant” is not helpful. We arrived late, it was raining, and we had no reception so we couldn’t communicate with host for location. So plan ahead as much as possible to get correct location. That aside - the host went above and beyond to provide assistance and information. TONS of beach towels, 4 beach chairs and coolers were appreciated. Showerheads in both bathrooms not fully functional. However beds had nice linens and the mattresses were a good mix of soft and firm with the toppers. Two outdoor showers were a luxury and the tiny pool was perfect for a cold plunge after the beach. Short walk to ocean for sunset viewing after the park entrance is open for free. Grocery options: huge grocery or tiny market both nearby. On-site laundry worked well. Great home base for exploring.

Excellent stay in Uvita

Everything we needed and more

This stay was exactly as advertised. We were a party of two and had plenty of space. The kitchen was sufficiently equipped that we could make food from the grocery store up the road and was perfectly placed with several restaurants within walking distance. Property management was more than accomidating when our arrival time was completely de-railed due to accidents and road work.

Excellent stay, for 2 people

My wife and I really loved our time here. It was our second trip to CR, first one to Uvita.The location was perfect for us. With a couple restaurants and a supermarket within a 2-5 minute walk it made cooking at home easy. The place is very clean with excellent communication and advice. My only wonder is if there was 4 adults staying there might be a storage issue for clothing as there isn’t really anywhere to put away or even to have a suitcase on the ground without it being in the way. The convenience of the washing machine was a very nice touch. But the best part of the house for us was the plunge pool. We needed to cool down a few times and it was perfect!!!!

Our rental was wonderful. The home was exactly as represented in the description. The owners supplied all of the necessary supplies (towels, soaps, coffee, etc). The location was perfect. Walking distance to beach, stores, and restaurants. We could sit on the quaint patio and watch the wildlife. I would highly recommend this property. We had a wonderful stay in Uvita.

Well-appointed, nice location, helpful host

We really enjoyed this sweet little house in Uvita. It's new construction so everything was clean and well-thought out. We loved having the pool in the backyard to cool off in. And enjoyed having coffee in the yard in the mornings and watching the macaws fly into the trees above us. The Mexican restaurant next door was fantastic and we enjoyed the quick walk to the beach and the proximity to so many other beautiful beaches. It's a quick drive to Domincal which was a great place to visit, we particularly enjoyed Fuego, the local brewery and coffee roaster. Overall, we had a fantastic stay in Uvita and this rental was great.

Short walk to the beach

We had a nice stay here. This is a small but modern home that was a good size for 2 adults and a teen. The kitchen is well equipped and the beds were very comfortable. We appreciated the towels and the washer and dryer. The small plunge pool is nice for relaxing and watching the giant iguanas (bring your binoculars) on the trees behind the house. The location is just off the main highway, in a residential area and just a short walk to one of the entrances to Marino Ballena National Park. It is a beautiful stretch of the beach, away from the crowds. From there you can walk along the beach to the "Whale's Tail" (about 45min) or watch the gorgeous sunset from anywhere on the beach. The property manager was very responsive and provided nice recommendations.
