About this property
Perfect for multiple couples & families/luxurious/huge ocean view/gated/private
Casa Ballena is a modern oceanview retreat for up to 14 guests, perfect for multiple couples or families. Located 7 minutes from the beach highway in a gated community (4x4 required), it offers 4 air conditioned bedrooms with en suite bathrooms for privacy and convenience, 3 lofts, huge pool, fiber-optic WiFi, smart TV, and gourmet kitchen. Enjoy stunning views, concierge services, and easy access to beaches, restaurants, and tours. Ask us about private chef, spa, and curated adventure bookings!
Casa Ballena Pacifica is a beautiful private sanctuary nestled in a secure gated community just minutes from Playa Arco and the scenic Costanera beach highway. Surrounded by lush jungle and breathtaking views, this single level home offers the perfect combination of convenience, seclusion, comfort, and natural beauty.
Wake each morning to the sounds of toucans and scarlet macaws, as the sunrise paints the Pacific horizon. Keep an eye out—humpback whales are often seen breaching the waters of Marino Ballena National Park, right below the home!
Perfect for multiple couples or families, Casa Ballena Pacifica is thoughtfully designed offering spacious shared spaces for gathering and private bedroom suites for quiet retreat. It strikes a perfect balance between togetherness and privacy, ensuring everyone can relax and recharge in their own way.
This beautiful home features four spacious air conditioned king bedrooms, each with blackout curtains, plush bedding, and private en-suite bathrooms (one bathroom is ADA-accessible).
Three of the bedrooms also include loft spaces with two twin beds each—ideal for children 10+ or nimble adults (accessed by ladder, with low ceilings).
Each bedroom features two stylish desk-height nightstands that double as private workspaces—ideal for remote work or peaceful video conferencing in a serene, distraction-free setting.
Indoor-outdoor living at its finest! Expansive fold-back glass doors blur the lines between the open-concept great room, chef’s kitchen, and the breezy poolside terrace—complete with a grill, large chest fridge, and al fresco dining space.
After a morning of adventure, float your cares away in the large private pool while watching tropical birds and wildlife. Gaze out at the protected bird sanctuaries of Isla Ballena and Tres Hermanos—it's like having a front-row seat to nature.
Fire up the BBQ and dine under the stars, or let a private chef craft a locally inspired gourmet dinner to celebrate a special occasion. The fully stocked kitchen features high-end appliances, quality cookware, and a large island with bar seating—perfect for casual meals or cocktails.
Inside, unwind in the airy great room with a smart TV (HDMI-equipped) and custom exotic hardwood furnishings—ideal for movie nights, board games, or simply relaxing with your favorite people.
As evening falls, let the sounds of the rainforest and a sky full of stars lull you into pura vida peace—the perfect ending to each day in paradise.
Nestled in the heart of Costa Rica’s breathtaking Southern Zone, this prime location places you just minutes from pristine waterfalls, picturesque beaches, world-class surfing, and an array of adventure and cultural tours. Discover vibrant local cuisine at nearby restaurants, encounter extraordinary wildlife, and immerse yourself in the pura vida lifestyle—whether hiking through lush rainforest or simply unwinding by the ocean.
To ensure a fair and exceptional value for all guests, please enter the correct number of guests when booking. Our base rate is thoughtfully discounted for smaller groups of 1-4 guests, with a nominal per-guest fee applied for larger parties.
A true 4x4 vehicle is required to access the property. We’ll send rental car recommendations with your booking confirmation. Shaded carport parking is provided.
We take care of you every step of the way—from the moment you inquire until after you depart. Our team provides a comprehensive guest guide, answers to frequently asked questions, and curated recommendations for the best tours, restaurants, beaches, and waterfalls. You'll also receive personal introductions to our concierge and trusted rental car partners, who offer our guests exclusive corporate discounts. We're here to ensure you have a fun, adventure filled, unforgettable vacation and create wonderful memories that last a lifetime. Book your best vacation ever with us today!

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by THOMAS SCHIFERL
Tom, a Florida native, and Christine who has lived in over 20 countries and US states, fell in love with Costa Rica’s Southern Zone, where lush rainforest mountains meet the Pacific Ocean. In 2008 they purchased a stunning ocean-view property and built their dream home. Together, their skills and dedication laid the foundation for Jaguar Property Management, known for going above and beyond to ensure every guest feels valued and cared for.
Why they chose this property
The Uvita area offers an exceptional blend of refined tranquility and natural beauty. It’s large enough to provide quality dining, shopping, and services—yet remains delightfully free of mass tourism. Where the emerald rainforest cascades down to meet the Pacific Ocean, you'll find a temperate, tropical paradise with no cold weather, no crowds, and an abundance of exotic wildlife. It’s a serene, sophisticated escape in the heart of Costa Rica’s Southern Zone.
What makes this property unique
