Serenity House was everything as described. House was clean, comfortable and inviting. Hosts were very through on checkin process and guide book was helpful.
Serenity House was lovely. Well insulated so the outside noise was minimal. The house was clean and attractively decorated. The property manager was very responsive- we didn’t have any problems - just notified her of the cutter ants eating the plants in the garden. The pool was perfect-the depth and size and the privacy! Haven’t stayed in the lowlands for quite a few years and it was nice and breezy, much to my surprise. Excellent rental.
What an amazing property! Everything brand new and the owners have really thought about the details, down to providing rain mac's, washing liquids, bin bags, condiments and all those little things that allow you to just move in and not worry.The property itself is brand new, all fixtures and fittings perfect. The pool is a welcome cooling relief after touring national parks, and the location couldn't be better near to the whaletail brewery and the streetfood area. Best accommodation of our three week tour of CR by a long way!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Serenity House. The house and amenities exceeded our expectations. The hosts obviously take pride in their lovely property and offering all the comforts of home to guests. We appreciated their clear and responsive communications. We loved the views from the balconies and spending time out in the garden and in the pool. We woke up to bird songs in the morning and loved seeing the hummingbirds and butterflies in the vibrant garden. On our last day, we even saw a beautiful hawk and yellow toucan in a nearby tree! Uvita was the last of four destinations during our trip and was the perfect place to close our journey - in peace and in gratitude.
