"What an incredible place to stay! The property was beautiful and the house had everything we needed for a relaxing vacation. The host was wonderful and even met as at the front of the property to take us to our location. He answered all our questions and gave us a tour. The view was amazing and the pool was right there! I would highly recommend it to others and will definitely stay there again!"

"We stayed for 5 nights at the hotel. The hotel has the most beautiful view of the ocean. The restaurant was great for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The swimming pool was beautiful. We saw all kinds of birds and animals in the ground of the hotel. Highly recommend for anyone staying around the Uvita area with a car."

10/10 Excellent
"Wonderful house in an amazing location! We rented a small Kia SUV and had no problem getting to the house. This location is just a few minutes walk through the jungle to beautiful beaches, small caves and cliffs above you. One thing to note is that there are chickens and a rooster wandering around the grounds and the rooster started crowing repeatedly starting at 4:00 am every day."

Luxury Steps Away From The Beach - Villas Azul #3a

Luxury Steps Away From The Beach - Villas Azul #3a

10/10 Excellent
"Breathtaking views and a wonderfully secluded setting make this a beautiful place to stay. The tradeoff is that the remote location makes getting anywhere or doing anything beyond relaxing at the property take more time and effort. There is also some road noise that can be distracting at times. We love watching the monkeys and birds. The beach area is very private. Our family had a great time, thank you!"

"The photos online do not do this view justice. The house was perfect for our family of 6 and the view was unbeatable. Tom was amazing and met us in town to show us the way our first day there which was super helpful. We are already planning our trip back!"

Amazing Whitewater View Of The Ballena Marine Preserve Islands

10/10 Excellent
"We had an amazing week staying here in Costa Rica! The location was ideal, making it easy to visit both Manuel Antonio and Corcovado National Parks.Mark was an exceptional host, checking in regularly to make sure everything was going well and offering great recommendations for things to do in the area. We booked two excursions with his recommended guide, David, and both were incredible experiences.The Uvita farmers market was a fantastic place to stock up on fresh local produce, and Mark's restaurant recommendations were spot on, especially Citrus, which was outstanding.Two people in our group had health concerns, so having air conditioning in the bedrooms made a huge difference in our comfort. The infinity pool was another highlight and the perfect place to relax after a day of exploring.We would highly recommend staying here and would absolutely love to return for another visit!"
