About this property

Jungle Retreat - 43 Acres - 2230sf Experience Nature W/Comfort

This 2350 sq. ft. two level house at an altitude of 980 ft. on 43 acres offers two spacious bedrooms on the second level with their own private stairs. Fabulous wood ceilings, ceiling fans, large windows for unobstructed views and cool breezes. Each bedroom can accommodate 2 people.

Level one offers two full baths with hot water, and two additional outdoor cold showers, open kitchen, dining & lounge area with jungle views to the north and ocean views to the south.

The kitchen is equipped with a four top propane stove top, a microwave, blender, toaster, coffee maker and two small refrigerators. There is also an outdoor charcoal grill under the pool palapa.

All nestled within the daily life of the jungle where white face and howler monkey's make canopy runs only yards away high up in the trees. A birders paradise with so many species gracing your views throughout your stay. Toucans, McCaw's, parrots, humming birds and hawks are among the many birds you will see without having to move from a relaxing swing in one of the 3 hammocks.

Hot water, electricity and wi-fi.

Walking trails for the more adventurist who want to get into the jungle without having to find their own way. Trails will lead you to a river in one direction and streams with pooling water and falls in another. Although striking out on your own, on this 43 acre privately owned property, can be some of the finer excursions one can do.

This property is gated and has an onsite caretaker 24/7 at the entrance.

Total Jungle Immersion

If you are seeking a stay away from reality and the opportunity to disconnect, look no further. We were awaken by monkeys nearly every morning. If you're a bird watcher, you don't have to go anywhere, simply sit in the open air living room and birds are 360 degrees around you. The nature trails on the property are secluded and dense. Make sure you have 4 wheel drive, the property is pretty far up a steep gravel road.

Living with nature

My fiancé and I had a wonderful 3 nights here. The property is gorgeous and so are the views. Lori is an amazing host and helped us with all of our needs. One of the many things that we loved, was the fact that the pool was cold. The weather was extremely hot while we were in Costa Rica and this was the ONLY place we stayed that had a cold pool. I highly recommend ordering the in-house prepared meals. The food was absolutely delicious. We love it so much there, that my now fiancé proposed to me during our stay.

Amazing Property in a Beautiful Location

Elevated high above Uvita, the property extended views into both the Jungle and the Pacific Ocean below. The facilities were good and it provided us an excellent platform to explore the surrounding area. Lori was pleasant to deal with, provided good information to get there and the facilities in the local area. Note - 4x4 is a must! We hired a local guide in Uvita and were shown Sloths, Monkeys, Cayman, Macaws and a Tree Boa (Snake)! Definitely recommend this and a Whale/ Dolphin Tour. Local restaurants/ bars are good. Particularly enjoyed the Craft pub 'Uvita Beer Garden' situated off the road on the way up to the house. Also, recommend heading right out of the property, up the hill and take in sunset across the Ocean - Stunning!
