About this property

Contemporary Luxury Home Boasts Stunning 360° Ocean and Mountain Views

Enjoy expansive views of the Pacific Ocean and the Talamanca Mountains from the covered rooftop deck of this superb modern contemporary home. Custom designed in 2016 to take in the cool mountain breezes, this open concept home is situated at canopy level in a very private rainforest setting that highlights the sights and sounds of nature. The zero-edge pool separates the two living areas of this stunning home. Illuminated by LED lighting, it makes for a magical after dark experience.

The main living space includes a comfortable living and dining area adjacent to the gourmet kitchen, all with panoramic mountain and ocean views. The fully equipped kitchen has modern quartz countertops, a large granite island complete with seating for 4, and opens onto a covered outdoor terrace perfect for lingering over your morning coffee while watching the hummingbirds and toucans. The very spacious master bedroom and en suite bath were designed to showcase the amazing natural surroundings. Imagine watching clouds drift over the mountain tops through the vanity window, or gazing out at the ocean and the flora and fauna of the rainforest while body jets in the master shower gently massage you. Outside the master bedroom, a spiral staircase leads to a covered rooftop deck, the perfect place to enjoy a glass of wine while watching the sunset. Yes, this is paradise!

The second and third bedrooms of this spectacular home are separated from the main section by the pool and covered terrace, offering complete privacy. The second bedroom opens to a beautifully landscaped ocean view patio. The third bedroom has a private patio with amazing mountain views. These two bedrooms share a full bath located just off of the pool area.

Activities in the Ojochal area are endless. Nine different beaches can be easily explored. Water sports include surfing, kayaking, standup paddleboard, snorkeling, and swimming. Opportunities for hiking, birdwatching, and wildlife viewing will satisfy the most ardent nature enthusiast. Those looking for adventure will find ATV tours, horseback tours, canopy tours/zip lines, sport fishing, and golf are all nearby.

The village of Ojochal is well renowned for its world class restaurants offering international cuisine. French, Italian, Mediterranean, and Indonesian restaurants are a short drive from the home. Numerous Costa Rican restaurants dotting the highway offer fresh and delicious local options.

Great place to enjoy Costa Rica

My wife and I returned with our grown children and it was as magical as the first time. Ojochal is a great spot. Far enough from the touristy towns but not too far. We really enjoyed Citrus (the restaurant) and Los Gatos Locos (mexican). The house has everything you need and sitting on the upper deck is unmatched. Don't look any further. Read the directions that you receive thoroughly ahead of your arrival! Great stay.

4th time renting this gem of a cassa .We actually looked for and found the waterfall this time . What an amazing sight it was its rainy season and the torrential down pours gave it plenty of water .Its a little out of the way but well worth it !We visited some of our old favorite establishments for food and tried a new one Al chile que si . Great food and the staff was super attentive .we took a tour of Manuel Antonio with Beatrix she was the very best guide you could have super smart and knew so much about the park and Costa Rica .I golfed at OSA golf club a nice little 9 hole course about 35 mins from the house . You can play it twice for 18 and they rent clubs.With the help of Massi we arranged a couples massage at the house our last day . So worth it ! This was our first time during the rainy season the weather was usually sunny and nice for the first part of the day but you could bet that every afternoon or evening there would be a torrential downpour . It was super relaxing to listen to it from the house as we relaxed reading books ! Love this place and love Costa Rica ! Pura Vida Ron and Lisa

Incredible property and stay!

Everything about our trip was amazing. The house is beautiful, and exactly as described. The owners, property managers, and Uvita Welcome Center were helpful and very responsive. I do strongly suggest arriving before dark (which was 6 pm) at least the first night. If you're looking for a secluded, jungle paradise getaway, I HIGHLY recommend Villa Cascadas!

Villa Cascadas is a phenomenal property. You will be blown away upon arrival, that I can promise. You are in the jungle, so just mentally prepare yourselves for being surrounded by wildlife. We saw a Coral Snake and several Brazilian Wandering Spiders on the premises. We left them alone and they left us alone. You will definitely see all kinds of new birds in the trees adjacent to the property. You will also hear a fair amount of Howler Monkeys, though we never saw them. A 4x4 is a MUST for this property, but just Costa Rica in general. We had a Suzuki Jimmy, which is all you need. Don’t be alarmed, but you do have to cross two creeks to get to the property. Both creeks are maybe 1-2” deep…one has a rock base, and the other one has a concrete base. This caused us some concern when we saw the arrival instructions, but they were really navigable and non-threatening (even during periods of rain). I can’t recommend this property enough. Don’t hesitate if you are looking for a wonderful Costa Rican experience.

Our dream honeymoon!

Our honeymoon stay in Costa Rica at Villa Cascadas was absolutely unforgettable. The villa, the location and stunning views played a huge part in making it so special. The place was even more stunning in person than in the photos—truly idyllic! The location was perfect, offering total privacy and easy access to both nature and local attractions. From breathtaking views to the peaceful surroundings, we couldn’t have asked for a more magical place to celebrate our new chapter. Highly recommend!

Great views, great house amazing country

My wife and I stayed here for 7 nights and loved the property. The pool and rooftop deck were super cool. The (basically) private waterfall and swimming hole in the community were out of a movie. The town was nice and the people of Costa Rica are amazing.

Amazing place

The house was fantastic! Google maps works good to find the house or Waze, I would recommend having a backup printed map, not driving at night and a 4x4. The hike to get the waterfall is easy with an amazing view. Another thing about the house that’s a plus is the main house has the master with 2 bedrooms in another section for privacy. I would stay here again

First time visiting Costa Rica, this home made our trip!!

My husband and I enjoyed every minute of staying in this completely private home, in the middle of the jungle! Waking up to the sound of Howler monkeys and so many birds, along with falling asleep to sounds of the rainforest… we couldn’t have asked for more! Having so many amazing restaurants and grocery stores within a 20 minute drive…it was perfect! Thank you for sharing your home with us!!

Private Costa Rican Getaway

We were really impressed with this house in Ojochal. The pictures really didn't do it justice. The place was extremely private, and the view was tremendous. Also, the property manager was very responsive to our needs. As they mentioned, four wheel drive is pretty much a must to drive to and from this house. We loved our stay and hope to visit again someday.

We had such a good time here. This house is gorgeous! The road is pretty rough but the solitude is the pay off. The surroundings are so pretty. Lush vegetation and lots of wildlife. It is so nice sitting outside and hearing the river and other sounds of the rain forest. I highly recommend this place! I can't wait to go back!

Thoroughly enjoyed my stay!!

Here’s a revised version of your review: We stayed at Villa Cascadas for 5 nights, and the scenery and views from the house are absolutely breathtaking. Waking up to the sound of howling monkeys at dawn, along with the songs of birds and the soothing rush of the nearby river, was an unforgettable experience. It’s crucial to have a 4x4 vehicle if you plan to stay here. We drove an AWD Rav4, which handled the terrain well enough. The journey to the house can be a bit challenging, especially since the roads leading into the mountains are unpaved, with sharp curves and steep slopes. However, as long as you arrive while it’s still daylight, navigating the road should be manageable. I totally recommend staying here. I would love to come back soon.

Modern elegance with mountain and coastal views

We had a great time in Ojochal at Villa Cascades. It was seriously one of the best vacation homes we have stayed in with the perfect mix of modern amenities, great kitchen and indoor and outdoor living spaces, pool, views, short hike to waterfall and centrally located to explore. We had day excursions ranging from Nuayaca waterfalls to Corcovado ending with relaxing sunsets back at the house by the pool. The restaurants in Ojochal are also great and a short drive down the mountain. Thanks to the hosts for a great stay and Costa Rica experience!!

Beautiful Home

When we arrived on the property my 28 year old daughter said, "Are we famous?" She couldn't get over how beautiful the setting and the set up was. It was perfect for our needs. We loved waking up at sunrise to all of the birds that we all worked to identify as well as howler monkeys. The view was stunning as well. We eventually learned of a few stops to submerge in watering holes on our way up the dirt road to the house. I would and have recommended this home to friends.

Mountain Paradise

Loved the house! Private and peaceful. Perfect place for star-gazing! Not as much wildlife as other places we’ve stayed. Just a few coatis showing up for breakfast.😜. Definitely requires the 4WD as listing mentions. The road up is long and the creek crossings could be very challenging in rainy season but were no problem when we were there. You won’t be disappointed if you stay here!😊

About the host

Hosted by Jeff and Paula Livingston

Why they chose this property

This home's location is absolutely ideal. Villa Cascadas is located in the exclusive gated community of Avancari. An easily accessible 80' waterfall with natural swimming holes downstream are yours to enjoy. Wildlife abounds. Frequent visitors include howler monkeys, toucans, parrots, hummingbirds, and many butterflies, including the beautiful blue morpho. The gorgeous unpopulated beaches of the southern Ballena Coast are only a 15 minute drive away. Humpback whales frequent these waters and Olive Ridley sea turtles nest on Playa Tortuga, with September and October being the best opportunity to observe both. Four of Costa Rica's best national parks are easily accessible. Marino Ballena, which boasts of beautiful beaches and the famous Whale's Tale, is less than 30 minutes away. Manual Antonio, Costa Rica's most visited park, is an easy drive to the north on the coastal highway, making it an excellent day trip. Tours to Corcovado, the crown jewel of Costa Rica's national park system, can be arranged from Uvita or Sierpe. Chirripo, which can be reached in under 2 hours, is home to Costa Rica's highest mountain at 12,532'.
