About this property

Casa Ylang Ylang - Ocean View Villa with Pool

Casa Ylang Ylang is perched high above the blue Pacific, offering splendid ocean and mountain vistas. You will enjoy delightful daytime sea breezes and cooling nighttiime mountain breezes.
Awaken to toucans raiding the papaya and banana trees. Parrots, hummingbirds, and other wildlife we haven’t totally identified, thrive in the lush tropical foliage. Even scarlet macaws are sighted. ETC.
Please see pictures (I'm not great on providing narrative) and amenity list. The villa is fully equipped and ready to be lived in - please enjoy the magic that is Costa Rica.
Your stay includes free access to the Happy House.

Please note the map placement is incorrect. The house is located on the "easy side" of Ojochal, less than 3 km off the coastal highway (by car) and a half mile from the coast/beach (as the bird flies, i.e., not a walkable path). To save money, please send an inquiry rather than a reservation request.

Several excellent restaurants are located in and around Ojochal, as well as all desired creature comforts. Nearby beaches include lovely Playa Tortuga (within view), Playa Ventanas (with 5 caves), Uvita’s Whale’s Tail, and the Marina Ballena National Park. Within 90 minutes driving are Manuel Antonio (most visited National Park in CR), Dominical (great surfing) and the entire Osa Peninsula experience. Enjoy zip line canopy tours, whale/ dolphin watching, bird watching, kayaking, surfing, horseback riding, sports fishing, etc., or simply cocktails on a choice of verandas as the sun drops below the horizon fifty miles away.

Ojochal de Osa is located along the Costanera Highway 30 minutes north of Palmar Sur Airport. (daily 35 minute flights from San Jose via Naturair or Sansa.) If driving from San Jose, the picturesque trip takes 3 ½ hours.

Costa Rica Mindset:
Yes, there are bugs in CR- but these are kept under control by the breezes and the Gecko patrol. Should you happen to be bothered by bugs/geckos, you might wish to consider an alternative destination.
Driving is not recommended after dark (5:30). Unless your flight arrives in the morning, we suggest you spend your first CR night in the central valley, or along the way.

Warning: You may find yourselves setting an alarm to arise at dawn each day just to absorb ALL of the constant beauty around the remarkable surroundings of this gracious Mediterranean villa. And if you encounter particular problems during your stay, a resourceful English speaking manager resides locally just a phone call away.

wonderful stay at casa ylang ylang.

My family and I had a lovely stay at casa ylang ylang. My kids loved the pool which we used every day except for one day of our two week stay. House is on older side so it can use some touch ups, however, it does have its charm and lots of character. The kitchen is great, we did a lot of cooking and used the grill as well. The views were amazing, sunset was beautiful to see. It’s very hot weather, could use more fans. But nights did get a bit cooler so you could get a nice rest. And pool was refreshing. Like it describes yes many bugs, it was interesting to see a new one every other day but they mind their own and yes you are in Costa Rica rich in greens and life. Gecko kept us company here and there, my youngest actually looked forward to spotting them around the house. Having washer/dryer was great, after constantly going to beach/pool/exploring it was so helpful. Definitely best to have four by four, the house is up there but again great great views! Close enough to beaches and yet nice to be in a more private residential area. Some construction nearby but I have to say, first I woke up with sounds of the many birds which is what I imagined Costa Rica would be so the construction actually was not too bad. Kenny was very nice, helpful and available when we reached out a couple of times. Thanks Kenny!! Overall the house was a wonderful part of our vacation, we very much enjoyed it!!

Gorgeous views

Both the owner and property manager are responsive and nice. Cute property, expansive views. Has everything you need. The pool is long enough to swim. Nice straight shot on the road, 4x4 required. We didn't get to see a lot of birds, they fly by but don't seem to land close. The town itself is cute and out of the way. We enjoyed our stay!

Fabulous outdoor space

This is our 6th rental in CR, and we had a wonderful experience. Ojochal is a tiny village but has stunningly good restaurants! It's very close to uvita, which has more amenities if needed. Our favorite beach, pinuelas, is extremely close, but it's been closed for a year now. There are other lovely beaches nearby. The best part of this entire region is the beach/ mountain combo. This house is up the mountain enough you don't need a/c but you're not stuck in the clouds as much as higher locations. The drive up the mountain isn't bad, but you definitely need 4wd (needed in CR generally). It was wonderful to have a washer dryer on site with no restrictions. Many rentals in CR either make you pay for laundry or make you pay for them to do it. Beds were comfortable, kitchen utilities were good. Plenty of towels and beach towels. Anything you need that isn't provided you can bring (I always bring shampoo, conditioner, tide pods,etc..) or purchase at BM in uvita. The outdoor space at this house is top notch. The sunset, mountain and ocean views ( from multiple porches, pool, and bedroom) can't be beat. The pool receives sun most of the day. If you go too high in the mountains, you may find yourself in clouds much of the day in rainy season. That was not a problem for this location!! There are houses nearby but this house itself is totally private. There were fewer monkeys at this house...i personally did NOT mind the lack of howler monkey calls at 5am).Be warned, the driveway is very steep, narrow, curvy, and slippery!! Use 4wd at all times or you might regret it. The only other suggestion I'd make is a few more loungers (specifically on the largest patio on the north side of the house). Overall this was a fabulous experience and we hope to visit again!!
