About this property
Entire house-Whale Tail/Ocean Views, Pool!
Casita avail to rent for add'l fee
Casa Bambu is a 1 bedroom home situated on 1.5 acres with amazing views and an infinity pool. For guests who rent the main house a separate studio casita is also available for an additional fee (suitable for 1 to 2 adults or teenagers). The property has breathtaking views of the Pacific Ocean, white water beaches, Ballena Marine Park and at a distance – Cano Island and the Osa Peninsula.
The custom house is tropical design, structural bamboo vaulted ceilings and local exotic hardwoods. Unique and charming – the property sits at an elevation of 1100 ft (300 meters) – keeping the house cool and fresh during the day, with mountain downdrafts to cool at night.
A full kitchen with a gas BBQ, bathroom, living area, laundry and covered patio – all on the main floor. (The covered patio is a great for viewing songbirds, parrots, toucans, and aracaris as they visit the mango tree - not to mention the direct view of the Whales Tale and the Bahia.)
On the lower level - a spacious master bedroom with King size bed and incredible ocean views. Offering A/C, quality linens, privacy, and large en-suite, along with a walk-in closet with a safe. Patio doors lead you to a private terrace where your infinity pool awaits.
The house was designed for couples - offering the perfect amount of detail to create an escape from the everyday life of the northern hemisphere. Ideal for honeymooners, personal life celebrations, birders, those who just want to get away from the busy-ness of daily life. This property is serene, but full of plant, bird and tropical life!
You will have the whole house and grounds to yourself. The casita will not be rented during your stay at Casa Bambu.
WiFi at the house is very stable and fast Fiber Optic internet. There is a smart TV in the living room that can be used for streaming and watching movies. There is a washer and dryer at the house for the guests to use. Because the house sits at 1100 ft elevation, guests enjoy cool mountain breezes; however, we have installed air conditioning in the bedroom which can be used for a minimal additional charge based on usage and and the electric meter reading for your actual stay. Most guests who use the AC only use it to cool down the bedroom in the evening and have not gone over the budgeted allowance for electricity.
Access to this property is along an incredible jungle road. (It does have a couple of steep sections to it and requires a 4WD SUV.) The house is about a 15 minute drive from town up a mountain road. There is a locked gate to enter the property. Stairs lead you from the parking area down to the front door and continue down to the bedroom on the lower level. There are security cameras for the entrances and driveway to the property. There are no cameras in the house or pool area.
Our property manager, Trina – will meet you in town and escort you to the property. Check in is between 3 pm and 8 pm and check out is 10 am.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

About the host
Hosted by Peggy
Hi, we started coming to Costa Rica in 2010 and found that it felt like home to us. After many years of 9 to 5 jobs and raising a family, we decided it was time to start a new chapter in our lives in Uvita, Costa Rica, and we couldn’t be more excited! We hope we’ll get a chance to share our little piece of paradise with you!
