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.

The property was as promised. The property manager was flexible and responsive. Uvita is beautiful and Dominical which is not far away is a perfect spot to find an organic supermarket and other goodies. I would highly recommend staying here
An incredible property and value. Very clean, highly communicative host, and breathtaking views. As others have said, the road up is serious, but the Jimny handled it just fine. We look forward to returning!
The house was amazing for my wife and I. Clean, in good repair, and well appointed. The management was super responsive and helpful and polite. We will definitely rebook at Casa Bambu
This stay exceeded all expectations. Our hosts were extraordinary. They communicated clearly and quickly. They did everything they possibly could to help us be comfortable.
Our stay was beyond perfect! The home was wonderful. Clean, comfortable, secluded!Like all the reviews say…the drive up is no joke but quite doable and worth it!
Casa Bambu is in a beautiful location, private, high in the mountains with stunning ocean and whale tail views. The support staff were friendly, communicated well and helpful with check in and check out. The property is clean, well maintained and perfect for a romantic getaway, until you want to go out. The drive up and down the mountain is the only negative. A capable 4x4 is a must as well as 4x4 driving skills. If you want to be way of the beaten path and be able to look down at soaring condors, watch macaws fly by your pool and many other types of birds, listen to the sounds of the ocean surf and watch the beautiful sunset and sunrise sky from your bed or pool, Casa Bambu cannot be beat.
The property is simply fabulous. The furnishings are modern and everything was spotlessly clean. There were local guidebooks available that were very helpful. The infinity pool was perfect for relaxing.
One of the best views of whale tail beach in Uvita. Toucans were plentiful along with many other birds. Our mornings drinking coffee viewing wildlife were amazing and memorable.
Very private setting with awesome view. My wife & I stayed on the property for almost our entire visit to Costa Rica with the exception of making a couple of trips down the mountain to get groceries. It made for a great vacation to reconnect, relax, & lounge in the pool.
Casa Bambu was a great home base for our stay in Uvita. The property had amazing views and was secluded yet close enough for us to get to all the activities we had planned. Trina and Jorge were very responsive and helpful throughout our stay. We would definitely recommend Casa Bambu for your stay in Uvita!
This was the perfect place to spend a few days in Uvita! Located right in the town, it is close to everything but secluded in the hills with amazing views. The house was stocked with all of the essentials, and was a comfortable stay. Communicated with the hosts was great throughout our stay. Would definitely recommend this home for anyone traveling to the area!
Amazing view of the jungle and whale’s tail from the balcony. Very secluded and clean property. The bird watching from the property was also top tier (bring binoculars, you won’t regret it). AC in the bedroom worked very well for a comfortable sleep. You will NEED a 4X4 if driving yourself up the mountain to the property!
This is a piece of heaven on earth!! Peggy answered every question we had and gave us extra tips as well! Trina and Jorge were amazing and even (for a small fee) picked up some groceries for us and had those for us upon arrival! The villa is absolutely gorgeous and well appointed with everything you could possibly need! We are anxious to return!!

We stayed at casa bambu for our honeymoon and could not have been happier with our choice. The property was beyond beautiful, private, clean, and just right for a couple to stay. Listen to the host about getting a 4x4 car for the long drive up. The owner and property management were both very responsive to questions before and during our stay. Thank you Peg, Trina & Jorge! We plan to stay again on an anniversary trip :)
This house is a perfect getaway for two- it's romantic, has amazing views, and Jacqui (and Trina, who manages it when Jacqui is away) were wonderful to work with. We had a wonderful time! Just be ready for 4x4 driving - our rental car lady in San Jose said we wouldn't really need 4x4, and she was way wrong!

It's true, a 4X4 is required in many areas of the country and Uvita is one of them! It makes us smile, knowing your needs were met and you took advantage of the privacy and the views! You are welcome back anytime!

Highly, highly recommend to stay at this house! The location was superb - private, at a top of the hill with the best view for sunrises and sunsets. You are in the middle of the jungle and can hear howler monkeys, see toucans and macaws right from the property! We spent much time just relaxing in the pool watching the wildlife and enjoying the view. The house is very Costa Rica with an ind
We love Casa Bamboo. This was our 3rd time staying in this lovely home and it NEVER disappoints! This year we had incredible wildlife visitors daily. The weather was perfect. Sleeping and waking with the sun to the jungle sounds is healing for the nervous system. Highly recommend!
Casa Bambu is a cozy, beautiful home with absolutely gorgeous views!
The drive up and down the mountain is no joke, but you will get used to it after a few times. Just make sure you have 4x4 and hold on!
The hosts have thought of everything—the kitchen is well equipped, they have boogie boards and beach chairs, and the towels and linens are fresh and crisp!
Our stay was short but lovely!
Nice property. Great view of whales tail. Multiple aracaris visited a tree 20 feet from the porch every day. Various other birds visited as well.
The house was as described and the VRBO photos were accurate and up to date.

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!
