About this property
Alegria Tropical...tropical Joy Next To The Beach!
For travelers who are looking for an elegant and cozy, fresh and joyous home close to the wonderful beaches of Uvita, Alegria Tropical is your choice!
Private, secure and comfortable for four guests, this brand new home is located in the Coast-side village of Bahia, only 300 meters from the Playa Colonia entrance of the Marine National Park “Ballena”.
Its location right behind the beach forest of the National Park, less than 200 meters from the Ocean, provides a daily breeze and the constant magic sound of the sea waves.
The house was created according to a design of combined tropical colors that remind the Colombian origin of the owner. The sea breeze is reinforced by modern ceiling fans in the two bedrooms, the living room and the kitchen. A clear local ceramic floor completes the freshness of the design.
Air conditioning provides extra cooling in the two bedrooms. The queen sized beds are comfortable and equipped with 100% cotton bed and pillows sheets.
The fully furnished kitchen is nicely decorated with local coloured tiles. It forms a unique space with the living room, and creates continuity with the external garden and pool thanks to the multiple screened sliding windows and doors. You will enjoy the flat screen TV with Android connection on the comfortable sofa and armchairs, while chatting with your friends outside.
The bathrooms are brightly decorated and supplied with hot water system and “waterfall” shower. There is an alarm system and a security safe for valuables. Laundry room provides both washer and dryer.
The spacious external deck around the pool offers two comfortable lounge chairs, a large umbrella to protect you from the sun, and a BBQ for your outdoor cooking. Pool towels are provided. You will navigate on a comfortable high speed (fiber optic, 50Mbs) wireless internet, or just take a relaxing swim and lay, watching at the coastal jungle and experiencing the sight of a butterfly, the sound of a howler monkey or the view of a loud screaming pair of Scarlet Macaws!
The pool (6x3,5 meters) has internal stairs and a comfortable internal bench where enjoying the sunset with a fresh drink, and an outdoor “tower” shower. Bright illumination allows enjoying the pool at night.
The parking place is private, gated and lightened at night.
No 4x4 expensive rental car is necessary… The village of Bahia (an old farm that became a tourist destination after the national Park creation) can be also easily reached by public bus. It hosts all tour operators organizing mid-day boat tours of the marine park or daily tours to the more distant and spectacular Caño Island and Corcovado National Park. You can hang around walking or cycling, go to the beach and take a low-tide walk to the world wide known Whale’s Tail; surf a wave at Playa Colonia when the tide raises; rest in one of the local sodas and enjoy a fresh fried fish or a natural fruit juice; or just buy some food and be back home………all within few hundred meters from Alegria Tropical!

About the host
Hosted by Sonia
I am the youngest of three sisters (owners of the property). Originally from Bogotá Colombia , I grew up with a big passion for nature , having the opportunity to explore some Natural parks and to interact with locals as a volunteer during my time at the university and as part of my first jobs. 14 years ago I got the opportunity to work with an international cooperation project here in Uvita - Costa Rica, and I fell in love with the community and its effort to preserve the Marine Ballena National park. Years after , thanks to the support of the local tourism business and residents, I started in 2007 my own business " Uvita Information Center" , where I and two more girls assist travelers to enjoy our tourist attractions. And this allowed me to know from firsthand the tourist preferences and needs, thus creating a vast experience on this matter. Now Uvita is my sweet home. I have the privilege to enjoy daily this paradise with my dogs (Bracco and Dulcinea) , cats (Azulita and Furetto) and friends. I like spend the days working, surfing, doing yoga or just admiring the magical wildlife showing up everywhere in this always surprising Country.
Why they chose this property
Even if the Marine Ballena National Park is the main attractions in the region, there are not many options of lodging at walking distance from the beach, especially in the Playa Colonia area. The actual offer is limited and more oriented to low budget travelers, so that's why the zone has a lot of potential for vacation properties for travelers looking for more comfort. The location still preserves a beautiful forest along the beach which makes it very special…it has almost 3 km of beach for your enjoyment! Little by little, the area is growing with new restaurants, lodging and tour services close by.
What makes this property unique
The house is unique in the area, because it is built with a tropical, colorful and rustic design mixed with all the facilities and comforts that travelers are looking for at a reasonable price.
This is one of the very few houses located at few meter from the beach. You don't need a 4x4 car to get to the house, and also just biking can be an option during your stay.
