My partner and I stayed at this rental for nearly 3 weeks. Our time there was spectacular and was a main factor in our Costa Rican trip being so enjoyable. The kitchen was perfect in preparing our daily meals, we enjoyed mornings and evening out on the patio; doing yoga or chatting. It was lovely to be able to walk down to the river and take a moment to cool down in the hot midday sun. The host Oldrich was super helpful and guided us to trips and amenities in the surrounding area. This rental is the perfect balance of privacy and proximity in Uvita; you can spend the day watching Toucans and parrots in the trees outside your patio, or walk down to the beach, through shops and restaurants, and return home safely on foot at the end of your day. Highly recommended.

About the host

Hosted by Oldrich Blaha

Host profile image
I am Oldrich, a Czech/Canadian. I love nature, peace, freedom and harmony and have come to Uvita to enjoy slower, more fulfilling days.

Why they chose this property

Uvita has both beaches and jungles and is not very commercial, giving me a real authentic experience and real sense of connection to nature. I love discovering new waterfalls and new places to dive and surf with my son. My wife prefers yoga studios and has many to recommend.

What makes this property unique

We are right in the jungle, yet a few steps from main spots. Our goal is to have all guests leave more relaxed than they arrive so we are very attentive to all little details to ensure you have a calming and peaceful stay.
