Jungle Luxury! Stunning Whale's Tail View! Pool, Outdoor Shower, Etc.! 5-STAR!!

Our family of 4 just returned from this most beautiful retreat located 1300 feet above the ocean below. We had found the accomodations and the location so perfect the previous year that we simply had to return. Sunsets viewed from the attached pool are beyond description. The house has its very own distinctive entry gate, is surrounded by extensive and lush landscaping with frequent return visits by some of the most beautiful birds native to Costa Rica. The solitude is only occasionally interspersed with the welcome offerings neighboring Howler Monkeys. The house is spacious, fully equipped, and immaculate. The grounds and the pool are carefully maintained. The available wi-fi network and related tech items make communication with the rest of the world most convenient. Trina, a most engaging and helpful neighbor was always available for the occasional question and assistance. Many of the restaurants near Uvita and along the coast offer the visitor some of the most impressive views while charging relatively little for excellent cuisine. Our experiences in Costa Rica have been extraordinarily pleasant thanks especially to the owners Mark and Sarah and their patience and willingness to answer all our questions before and during our stays in their beautiful home.

The view is spectacular. The house is very nice and easy to live in. The kitchen was well equipped. The only challenge is the drive up the mountain road, but they tell you to rent a four wheel drive car. We use two different personal chef service and both were great. There are so many wonderful 5 star equivalent restaurants within a 30 minute drive. OSA Thyme is one just at the bottom of the hill and my personal favorite. Trina the local property manager is super and answered all of our many questions about the area and also suggested places to eat.

Our family of 2 adults and 3 boys age 10, 8 and 6 spent a week in this house and loved every minute. The owners helped us plan our trip and arrival. The care taker was very responsive but not over bearing. The house is very well organized and you go thru a inventory list at arrival and check out which will guarantee future renters will have a equal experience. The view from the patio and pool is world class. Costa Rica is great, Uvita is great. We enjoyed a different local restaurant each evening. Zip lining, atv tours, boat tours, water falls, beaches, all near by and great for all ages.

Our family had an absolute blast staying at Mark and Sarah's beautiful home. When we first arrived, the sun was setting and the home and the views are absolutely spectacular. Everything in this home is designed for comfort, from the beds to the chairs, and it was very family friendly(they even bought a new pack and play for our baby Oliver to use). Sarah was very helpful in planning our excursions and she even helped us schedule in a private chef to cook for our group in the home (superb!) and a massage therapist to come give us sunset massages. She and her property manager, Trina, went above and beyond to make our stay as perfect as possible.

The amount of nature we saw from the deck was crazy. We had coffee and watched the toucans fly. It was so serene.

We can't wait to come back! Highly recommend this wonderful home:)

The setting is like none I've ever stayed, literally in the clouds, surrounded by rain forest, and a view to the ocean and beyond! I tried to take a photo of the home from behind because there really isn't one, and it looks so magnificent, but this is for a reason. It is so grand, and the hillside drops away so fast, it's simply not possible! Inside your own private locked gate, 4km (maybe 1 i n and 3 up!) up into the hills you find this tranquil garden of Eden! Lush grounds, magnificent pool, awesome view, higher end finishes in and out, and every little detail covered. Sarah even has little lights that pop on (motion activated) at night just where you would want them, like on the way to the bath or kitchen, rechargeable flash lights in most rooms that are plugged into the walls, every dish, pot, pan, and coffee, ice, food grinding appliance etc. you could need! The woman has literally thought of it all! I have been staying in VRBO's since they began and have had mostly good stays with very nice properties, but this one is in the top 2! The deck off the back is not well enough documented as it is just AWESOME the way it sticks out over the hill as the land falls away, giving you an even more expansive view and sense of elevation. I was amazed that although the HWY was 3+km away as a crow flies, the ocean beyond was all we heard (which also amazed me that you could hear it that far away!) The tree above the pool revealed several Toucans and Arracarries (sp?) which we watched till they left! I am very saddened that the weather was not what we hoped to see at the end of our trip (we were in CR for 18 days and here for 6), but we were blessed with sun on our last day. This is what can happen when you try to shoot the green/high season gap! One item of clarification that had me wondering was the road. The way others spoke of it made me think it was cliff side and a near death experience. Aw cmon city peeps! It is steep and bumpy in spots (mostly bumpy at the bottom and steep at the top), but you are no where near an edge, and it's a piece of cake if you throw it in low and just take it slow. It's about 15 min from the hwy to the home, 7 if you like to bomb it (which I likely would not do because Sarah and the neighbors say noooo!!!), but one could if they liked off roading, was late for a tour, and their wife wasn't present :-) Anyway, thank you Sarah for all your efforts in making us feel so comfortable in your lovely home. You and Trina are a great duo.
