About this property

Enjoy Uvita and wildlife from this jungle immersed home

Honu Iki Casita is a wonderful two-bedroom home located in the jungle hills of Uvita.

The home's open floor plan, and floor to ceiling windows, allows plenty of natural light to illuminate the living room, kitchen and TV area.

Uvita is one of the Central Pacific's best kept secrets. The beaches are beautiful, the hills are lush, wildlife is abundant and its the perfect place to surf, horseback ride or just relax. Uvita has great restaurants (coffee shops, microbrewery, local, fine dining), grocery stores, banks and pharmacies. If you are looking for a beautiful beach destination that is far less developed than Manuel Antonio, Uvita is a fantastic alternative. The highlight is Marino Ballena National Park, featuring the famous sandy "Whale Tail" where migrating humpback whales can be seen just offshore. You can whale watch, dolphin watch or snorkel.

Uvita also makes a great base for exploring Dominical (12 miles North) which is a fun, funky hippie and counterculturist enclave with great shops, dining, live music, candlelight yoga, spas, bars and beach. The tiny town of Ojochal is 9 miles to the South and is known as one of the best foodie town in Costa Rica. Ojochal also offers easy access to Playa Ventanas, a small and beautiful beach famous for its sea caves.

For those who enjoy golfing, the southern pacific’s only golf course, Osa Golf Course, is an easy 25 minute drive south.
Guests will meet with an Osa Property Management representative at check-in and at check-out. Osa Property Management will be available via chat/phone number throughout the day and in the event of emergencies.

Unique
You must have a four-wheel-drive to get to it and it is very difficult to locate! Once you are there, it’s a nice place to be

Amazing place
We've stayed at a lot of VRBO residences and this might have been the best of them all. It's legit that you're truly immersed in the middle of the rainforest - secluded and so peaceful. Just be sure to pay attention to the need for a 4x4 vehicle. That's very legit. But if you have one, you'll be fine. Thanks to the hosts for a great experience!

Perfect house in jungle, Highly Recommend!
Best parts of the house: Jungle adventure driving to and from the property. The full wall of windows and porch gives spectacular views of the trees. Morning wake up calls from the howler monkeys. Lack of bugs in the home :) very clean Isolation, far enough away from the city to v be avoid all noise and passers by but close enough to have everything you need within 10 minutes. Variety of wildlife seen from the house/porch. Howler monkeys, Spider monkeys, Agouti, frogs and toads, Toucans, and other birds.
Stayed 5 nights in Apr 2023
