About this property

Amazing house in the jungle overlooking the pacific ocean

Modern house in an ideal setting situated 300m above the sea with magnificent views of the ocean and the jungle. Enjoy a nice sea-breeze while you see birds and wild life from a beautiful swimming pool at the edge of the terrace. There are 2 big waterfalls in the property. There is a path from the house which takes you through the rain forest to the river and in 20 min you will be swiming below 2 waterfalls in an idealic setting.
The house has a large terrace for BBQ, dinning and a relaxing pool. The kitchen has modern appliances and all what you need for your vacation . The house is an open plan concept with high ceilings, fans, a good size kitchen island for meals and a big screen TV in the living room. There are three bedrooms . The master bedroom has an ensuite bathroom with a shower and a bathtub. The 2 guest bedrooms are in a separate wing and they share a second full bathroom. All 3 beds are Queen size with trundle beds in each bedroom for extra guests. There is also high speed internet and you can watch Netflix. There is a laundry room wih washer and dryer and a double garage.
To get to the property you will need a 4x4 vehicle since the terraine is steep 3km before arriving. It is a 3.5hs drive South from SJO. You will go from sea level to 360m in 6 km, but once you get there you will feel like you are in paradise. You will be waking up early to the sound of howler monkeys and birds. You can explore the jungle, go for walks or simply relax. I suggest to buy your groceries in Uvita before going up the mountain.
The area has a lot to offer from adventure tourism like zip-lining, river rafting and nature hikes to horse backridding, waterfalls and beautiful beaches all of which are within a short distance. There are numerous restaurants in the area, by the coast or in Ojochal (8kms). You are also close to Corcovado National Park and several other tourist attractions including mangrove tours.

Our home away from home
We have had the pleasure of spending over 10 weeks at this home over the last two years. We travelled extensively and stayed in many vacation rentals and this one will always have our heart. Waking up to this view is best start a day, watching the sunsets never gets old. No photo will ever do this view justice. We have looked at several properties in and area and few have a view like this home. The home is stocked with everything you could ever need, air fryer, crockpot, panini maker, blender etc. Yes the drive is an adventure and the first time you do it you think its a bit crazy but its really not once you know what to expect. Any home with this view will have a similar drive, its a very common drive for this area. Waterfalls on the property is beautiful but it is a trek getting back up. Toucans, acaris, green parrots and other smaller birds can be seen. We have seen monkeys on occasion and a coati. Tons of interesting bugs, grasshoppers, gekkos, moths and butterflies can be seen. Book this rental, I assure you won’t regret your stay here!

Heaven on Earth
One of the finest places I have ever had the pleasure to stay. The location, house, yard, pool, and impressive cascadas are a complete package of fantastic. Communication was seamless. Wilson (on-site coordinator) and Adolf (owner) were responsive to any questions I had during my stay. I look forward to returning to this beautiful piece of heaven on Earth.

Osa high up the mountain house
First and foremost the house is great, comfortable with exceptional views! The kitchen has everything you need (blender, waffle iron, juice press, slow cooker…it’s missing some plastic wear for poolside but has everything else). The view from the master bedroom is sensational…and you will wake to the sound of howler monkeys every morning at dawn! It’s truly magical! The BUT…unfortunately is the lack of information on how bad the « road » is to get there…it’s a 15 minute white knuckle drive up the steepest incline, hairpin turn road every time you go out…or come in. The need for a significantly powered 4x4 can not be understated here… If you’re looking for a secluded paradise where you aren’t going to town often or out to dinners this is perfect!

Can we stay here forever?
We had a little taste of Paradise while living at Villa Cascada. If you love nature, it is the place to stay. We woke up almost every morning to the sounds of the howler monkeys, we even saw them in a nearby tree. You are surrounded by the jungle and all its sounds and aromas. We saw lots of toucans, butterflies, birds, bats, coatis. The views are amazing. The road to the villa was scary the first time, but David waited for us on the main road and led us to the villa. You definitely need a 4x4, with high clearance. Afterwards, we enjoyed the road every time. David is amazing, he is there to help you with everything. Walter, too. They made reservations for us with some great tours, we are happy we went with their recommendations. If you want to live in the jungle, very privately but with all the amenities, this is the place. Thank you from our hearts, Dr. Hamman, David and Walter! Pura Vida!

Gorgeous property with amazing views
Do NOT let the reviews about the road scare you - a 4 wheel drive vehicle gets you up there just fine! This house is beautiful with sunsets that you will never forget! Wilson is easy to communicate with via whatsapp and he shows you to and around the house which is well-appointed for your group with everything you need for a great stay and any appliance you could want for meals, large clean bathrooms, and comfortable beds. The outdoor area will amaze you and the hanging swings were the perfect spot to relax during a rainstorm!

I am from Peru and live in Canada. Finished building this house in April 2017 to use it as a retirement property one day. I would love to share this peace of heaven with you.

Why they chose this property

This whole mountain development is owned mainly by Canadian and American ex-pats and the atmosphere is unique, social and very peaceful at the same time. We fell in love with this area of Costa Rica many years ago since it is a bit remote and uspoiled with no big tourist developments but has a nice character to it with lots of small family buisiness, mainly unique small restaurants from all over the world. It is also much greener than the rest of C.R. due to an abundance of fresh water. Since there is no polution there are no much insects, like mosquitoes, and everything is lush and pristine. It is a bird watcher's paradise!

What makes this property unique

It is a remote location perfect to find peace and quiteness but with lots to do nearby.
