Pura Uvita - Whale's tail ocean view, modern home

I decided to stay here to celebrate my birthday Arriving in Costa Rica and driving to the location was definitely an all around experience . My friend and I were real tourist. We met our

Nice property just just minutes up the hill from Uvita. We had rented a Rave 4 and spent a few days in Santa Teresa and Arenal before going to Uvita. Got a message from Andrea saying to make sure our vehicle had a 4 wheel drive button or it wouldn't make it up the hill. Decided to change vehicles to a Toyata Land Cruiser Prado. Good thing we did. Not sure the Rave 4 would have made it up the hill! Excellent property, very private, and a great Ocean view. Loren, the property manager, was very responsive. Water pressure was an issue a couple times, but Andrea gave us instructions on how to switch from city water to water tanks up the hill from the property. We enjoyed eating at many of the local sodas in town. Would highly recommend this property.

We loved our stay overlooking Whales Tail in the jungle surrounded by wildlife who visit daily. The sounds of the jungle before sunset are fascinating. The open concept house was unique but worked fine and the split bedrooms are perfect for privacy. We enjoyed the pool and outdoor living areas. We would definitely return.

We loved the house, pool, views, and yes animals. You are in the rainforest. We loved that we could keep the bedroom door closed with AC and keep the critters out. Otherwise be ready for outdoor living. Also it did come with a difficult drive uphill on a dirt and bumpy road for 10 minutes. It was fun driving but even with our 4x4 it limited how many times we were willing to make the drive every day. The beds could be better and some small repairs were needed but not enough to dampen our time. All in all if we came back to Uvita , which I highly recommend, I would stay here again but probably not more than 3 nights.

I find it hard to describe, I’ll try. This beautiful space is located on the side of a mountain overlooking the Pacific Ocean. We were awakened each day by a new experience. The first day a giant iguana and a raccoon stopped by. The next morning Toucans and parrots surrounded the trees that swallowed our space. The restaurants and bakery nearby kept us nourished. Los Luarales restaurant was a hit. Everything else was a bonus. The 4 wheeling, trips to the beach (not far away) the waterfalls, and of the monkeys made this trip spectacular. Thanks again Pura Uvita Vacation home!!!!!!
