Our favorite spot!

This is the second time we have stayed at this house, but first time with Tom and Christine (property manager) and it was nothing short of amazing, again! They were super helpful with accommodating us, answering questions, and helping with anything we needed. The house itself has the best views, it is properly stocked for everything you might need to cook, or, go to the beach. We love the outdoor grill and dining area as we eat dinner and enjoy the sunset. The pool is large enough for our family to be in it together and enjoy it. We absolutely love this house and this area. In the mornings we sat and watched the sunrise from the lounge chairs, saw the coati in the yard, toucans in the trees, and many more! You will not regret this location or these amazing property managers! We will be back!

About the host

Hosted by Tom and Christine

Host profile image
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

Villa Ballena is the ideal retreat for multiple couples or families, offering the perfect balance of shared spaces and private sanctuaries. Set in a lush tropical landscape teeming with wildlife—such as playful coati families and vibrant birds—the villa is both convenient and secluded, providing tranquility without sacrificing accessibility. The panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean are simply breathtaking—far more stunning than any photo can capture.
