The place is amazing. Perfect way to start and end the day. Minutes from a variety of beaches. Within hour from a wealth of Costa Rican adventures. Came with outstanding hospitality from Jaguar Property Management including extensive guidance and recommendations for anything one might want on a trip to the area. Better communication than we’ve ever experienced for a short term rental - be it via Vrbo or other. Makes navigating a new uncertain area that much more comfortable.

This property was amazing and Jaguar Property Management (Tom and Christine) were awesome. They really took very good care of us while we were there. We stayed for 14 days and the views will never be beat. The four bedrooms with onsuite bathrooms were perfect for all of us. I would highly recommend this property for a group of 4 couples or family with teenage adults needing their own space. The views form the pool of the Pacific Ocean and the sunset were some the best we've seen in Costa Rica.

Host Christine was helpful and quick to respond to questions prior and during trip. Property was gorgeous- pictures don’t do it justice. Impeccable sunset views. House was well-equipped with most everything you need. It is a steep, bumpy road up so highly recommend renting a 4x4- taxis are expensive down the hill but we used one several nights for dinner. Beautiful property- I didn’t want to leave!

Beds were comfortable and house layout is good. Heard howler monkeys and saw several toucans while hanging out in the pool. Looking forward to coming back sometime.

Dream paradise

This home was 10/10 and I would certainly recommend it to anyone looking to stay in Uvita! The pictures don’t do the place justice, as the view is incredible! This place is great if you’re traveling with a group because each room has an incredible view and a bathroom (everyone gets the feeling that they got a great room)! The kitchen is incredibly well stocked, and the beds, sheets, pillows were SO comfortable. The AC and fans in the bedrooms kept it nice and cool, and the host was super responsive. As noted in the description, you do need a 4x4 vehicle as the route to the house is quite steep.

There are four bedrooms with their own private bathrooms and all rooms have sliding glass doors that look out to the ocean. The infinity pool is a perfect size to swim laps or lounge around. The kitchen and living area are open to the views as well. The kitchen is well stocked with utensils and serving dishes. The gas grill is a real plus as well.

This was my family and I first trip to Costa Rica and it was nothing short of amazing. This property is absolutely stunning talk about million dollar views. Tom and Christine answered any and all questions in a timely manner. Property was spotless beds were probably the most comfortable beds I've slept in on a vacation. If your looking for a house that is private yet not far from stuff to do this is the spot for you. Just make sure if your renting a car it definitely has 4×4 because the road up to the house you will definitely need it.

Magnificent Property - Don’t Miss

The house is located in Ballena up on a mountain, overlooking the thick jungle and the ocean. The birds you will hear and see are amazing. The house is beautiful and spacious with everything you need. Floating out in the pool, watching the view is a memory I will never forget. There’s a toucan, a tiger heron and all kinds of other beautiful birds that come to visit everyday. At Sunset the jungle comes alive and the sounds are other-worldly. The hosts couldn’t be more helpful. My friend and children were equally amazed. Thank you!

Wonderful villa and amazing views

Our family of six had a memorable getaway to this villa in Uvita, Costa Rica, and it exceeded all expectations. Despite the steep drive up, the breathtaking views greeted us with a promise of an unforgettable experience. Uvita's authenticity captivated us, offering an immersion into the heart of Costa Rican culture. The villa itself provided a perfect retreat, allowing us ample space to relax and reconnect amidst the natural beauty of the surroundings.From enjoying leisurely mornings on the terrace overlooking the lush landscape to exploring the wonders of Uvita, every moment was filled with joy and adventure. The villa's charm and comfort, combined with the warmth of the Costa Rican hospitality, made our stay truly exceptional. Our time here created cherished memories that we will treasure for years to come, leaving us eagerly anticipating our next visit to this tropical paradise.

A Slice of Paradise in Costa Rica!From the moment we arrived, this stunning home exceeded every expectation. The views were absolutely breathtaking—so mesmerizing that I found myself taking the same photo over and over again, unable to get enough of the scenery. Whether it was sunrise, sunset, or the golden hour in between, the vistas never got old.The owners clearly poured their hearts into the design. Every detail was thoughtfully curated to maximize the natural beauty surrounding the property. Large windows, perfectly placed seating areas, and open spaces made it feel like nature was part of the home itself. Morning visits from the toucans made morning coffee on the patio an unforgettable memory with sounds of the ocean and the ocean views, just awesome! The pool was huge and had options for lounging or laps. The infinity edge was perfect for lounging and soaking up the ocean views. What truly set this place apart were the personal touches. You can tell the owners went above and beyond to create an unforgettable experience.If you have time and are able, request the waterfall rappelling tour and mangrove kayaking tour. Both were fantastic. Diego and Anner were amazing guides, taking time to explore, enjoy the natural settings, and genuinely good people. If you're looking for a peaceful escape with unbeatable views, pool and a home that feels like a dream, this is it. Costa Rica was amazing—and this house was a huge part of that! Thanks for everything!

Incredible Views at Casa Ballena Pacifica

Our family’s stay at Casa Ballena Pacifica was truly unforgettable. From the moment we arrived, we were in awe of the breathtaking views of the Pacific Ocean. The house itself and the surrounding views were even more beautiful in person than the photos. We enjoyed spectacular Pacific sunsets and watching the incredible variety of birds that flew by including the family of toucans that visited every afternoon. We loved lounging in the pool which was much larger than it appears in the photos. Inside, the house is well-equipped and very comfortable, with everything we needed for a relaxing vacation. The beds were incredibly comfortable and the air conditioning in the bedrooms worked perfectly (although the apartment really cooled down at night). The kitchen is fully stocked providing us with everything we needed to enjoy some wonderful meals at home. Tom and Christine were excellent hosts. They were very responsive and helpful, and we really appreciated their recommendations. One of the highlights was a painting class with Pia, a local artist who was recommended to us by Tom and Christine. Overall, we had a wonderful time at Casa Ballena and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful, relaxing vacation in a beautiful setting of Uvita with stunning views of the Pacific Ocean. We would definitely stay here again and hope to have the opportunity to do so in the future.

Your Paradise Over the Jungle

Casa Bellena is everything you could possibly want or need in a large, luxurious vacation rental, but with none of the compromises you often see once you add ‘kid-friendly’ to the search. Top highlights: - The layout: Large group, lots of kids, multiple families? No problem! Two very private wings, and 4 large, master suits make this a breeze. - The finishing: All the linens, beds, furniture, etc. All fantastic or new quality but incredibly family friendly and comfortable. Everything you need to host/cook/just hang is ready and waiting for your arrival. - Hosts/Safety: Not only did we have ALL the details needed to get into the country, make transport to the house, local accommodations, etc but the hosts and maintenance team were incredibly helpful, quick and kind. This meant the world to our family when traveling with 6 kids. -Lastly, but certainly not least… that outdoor space/pool! Honestly — it’s breathtaking. The outdoor table is huge, the outdoor grill and fridge make cooking for a large group a breeze, and pool is perfect with a small shallow area for the really littles in addition to deeper swimming and wonderful umbrellas and chairs and more. You don’t regret this rental as you sit out on the patio in the morning watching the Toucan’s fly over or listen to the Howler Monkeys. Oh! And the sunsets…. Amazing!

Beautiful But…

This is a stunningly beautiful property! It is clean and very well stocked with the appropriate equipment It is well suited to house several families or one big family. The furniture is comfortable and clean. The outdoor space is beautiful as well with private and group seating areas The pool is refreshing and well maintained. Good ac in bedrooms The landscaping is gorgeous! Now the negative. The property is situated in the mountains and is relatively difficult to get to. To the credit of the property owners they do suggest you rent a 4by4 This is a must! You need to be able to navigate relatively difficult steep terrain to get to the house and to get to grocery stores below. Also beware of the rainy season. When we were there the area experienced a black out and to our surprise and chagrin the house did not have a working generator and we spent a full day in the oppressive heat and dark. The property owners did not offer us any alternative housing thus we had to end our stay after two days even tho we scheduled for 8 days. We were told to buy candles and they would reimburse us…. We lost all of the food we bought for the stay as well. I think the black out lasted several days Also the roof leaked To the property owners credit they did offer us a full refund which we felt was fair and considerate. I have stayed in a quite a few VRB properties over the years and this was my most negative experience. The weather can’t be control so a generator is a must

Hello Chris, we are so glad you enjoyed Casa Ballena, it is a perfect home for families and groups of friends and there is so much to experience and see in our area! To have such a spectacular view of the Pacific Ocean, it is a just 7 minute drive from the beach highway. Yes, 4x4 is necessary to drive the well maintained community road...as it is with most homes here with an ocean view. We provide emails to our guests upon booking that specify what under powered vehicles NOT to rent, and you rented one of them any way. We certainly understand your frustration regarding the power outage. It was due to a tree that fell on the line. We've only had one other electrical outage of this duration in the 15 years we've lived here, so this was a very unusual circumstance. The irony is that the power was restored the afternoon you left. We are so sorry this happened during your vacation and hope you enjoyed your stay in spite of this unfortunate situation. Regarding the generator, it is not common for homes in this area to have a generator, as normally electrical outages are not long lasting. As a rule, power is restored in a timely fashion. We have managed dozens of homes, Casa Ballena is the only home that has a generator. It is not advertised, nor mentioned, in the VRBO listing as a feature or amenity. An error code appeared this week, and we were waiting on a part to be delivered. We do have 5 emergency lanterns in the house, and we confirmed they all worked. The small roof leak was due to a short duration of high wind and has been repaired. In contrast to your experience, our guests (parents with two young children) two houses up the same neighborhood, were appreciative, kind, understanding, took the short term electrical outage as just another adventure, and had an amazing stay. They plan to return and stay with us again! We are truly sorry this experience was not a positive one for you. Our corner of paradise is a wonderful place to vacation and enjoy the beauties of nature, we hope you appreciated all Costa Rica has to offer to the fullest in spite of the challenges.
