Great location, walking distance to the beach! AC is only in the bedrooms, but who is spending time in the living/dining rooms during the day in Uvita when the beach is right there?! For the price, can’t beat it! Had an issue with the shower and they fixed it right away - very responsive host. Would recommend for a chill beach vacay Uvita style

Great Pool Bungalow in Uvita

We really enjoyed our stay at the beautifully decorated bungalow in Uvita. Even though the ocean is nearby, the pool was a very welcome refreshment.

The house is beautiful. It has everything you need to have a good time. It is well located, you could walk to the beach and can go to nearby beaches and other places by car. There are a lot of supermarkets close by car and highly recommend El Hornito restaurant, you can go walking and enjoy really delicious empanadas.

We spent a wonderful month at Alegria Tropical. We did not have nor did we need a car, walking to local grocery shops, restaurants and the beach within 10 minutes, calling on readily available Ubers when needed. The kitchen was well-equipped and the bedrooms airconditioned. The peaceful setting and the privacy of the pool were a pleasant surprise. We will return without hesitation.

Beautiful beaches

What a clean and safe house. The pool was delightful. Plentiful hot water, great to have A/C in the bedrooms. So close to the beaches, restaurants, and a farmers' market. Perfect for two couples.

Great place for the price

Easy to get to, great location within walking distance to beach. Communication and villa instructions were timely and very complete. Pool at the end of the day was fantastic. We loved morning coffee in the hammocks. Snorkeling at Cabo Island was amazing.

My two young sons and I loved our time here! The place is truly excellent in every way. Gorgeous home in a gorgeous setting, perfect pool, peaceful and beautiful neighborhood, laundry on site (which we very much appreciated), lots of wildlife, great kitchen facilities for cooking. The instructions given before our stay were thorough and clear, and really made everything very easy. Would definitely return, and hope to!

A true gem

Alegría Tropical is a true gem, hidden from the busyness but super central. Walking distance to the beach, shops, restaurants. Tucked away with a sweet pool and all you will ever need.

Short Stay in Uvita

We enjoyed the ease of this simple, cheerful, little bungalow, reasonably close to the beach, and appointed with what you need. The plunge pool was refreshing on the terribly hot days we had during our visit. The bedrooms’ AC units worked well. Especially appreciated that each bedroom is en suite. Only thing missing was coffee:)

My husband and I went with our two friends and loved this house! The house is charming and we saw many birds and wildlife just in the yard. The parking and house were secure with locks and an alarm. The house is close to walk to the beach/national park and there is an Argentine empanada place a few minutes walk away that is well worth a stop. We enjoyed using the pool daily in the afternoons to cool off and relax. Beds are comfortable and AC in the bedroom is a nice touch. Plenty of space, and the owner is very responsive and helpful. We would happily book again next visit!!!

Jungle home steps away from the beack

This beach house is tucked away at the end of the street in a local neighborhood. Very clean, secure and well appointed. I would highly recommend. Note: while the property does have hot water it is in the kitchen sink only and not in the bathroom shower. A great getaway with complete seclusion yet close to where you want to be.

Lovely stay for couple and preschooler

This little house with pool close to the beach was a good fit for us and our almost-three-year-old. I didn’t think we’d use the pool, but we spent more time in it than at the beach! I took off one star for a minor housekeeping issue that was easily dealt with, but the house was clean and well-equipped. The neighborhood seems safe, but be aware there’s a lot of security if that’s something that turns you off. Lovely and easy stay, and we’d rent again.

We cannot say enough good things about Alegria Tropical. It was the perfect spot for our family of 4. The house was exceptionally clean, well-appointed, and the pool area was awesome. All of the communication from our host was clear and came well in advance of our arrival so that we were prepared and knew what to expect. When we had a question about the security system, the house manager arrived in person to help us out, which was great. We were prudent and followed the suggested safety measures and felt totally comfortable for our entire trip. The location was perfect for us- a quick walk to the beach and some good restaurants. We didn't rent a car, but took Ubers everywhere, which was super easy. We loved Uvita and loved our stay at Alegria Tropical. We absolutely recommend it.

private oasis

Loved the pool and privacy of the yard. The beach was a 10 minute walk away no big deal, not pretty and water was very mucky and daily fee to get on beach, not a plus. The town of Uvita kinda dumpy. The towels, and sheets at the property need an upgrade, the beds were rock hard, so our backs took a beating. I had to buy hangers, as there were like 5 total, other than baby clothes hangers, not useful. Otherwise for the $ it was good.

Excellent House for 1 or 2 people.

The property manager was very efficient and the house was very well equipped. Unfortunately, without any warning, the local road leading to the house was closed for repair, and this proved to be a major problem when we were ready to depart, but the property manager was extremely helpful in helping us and refunded a bit of the rent as compensation for our inconvenience. The walk to the beach was about ten minutes, and there is an excellent Spanish restaurant nearby. We left the house before our contract was up because the weather was very wet, rainy and humid. This was unusual for this time of the year
