Amazing house, amazing property management, amazing location, Pura Vida!
Christine and Tom (the property managers) provided excellent open communication from point of booking in March 2020 to when we were able to make it down. They were attentive to every detail including ensuring that all maintenance was addressed promptly -
Our party included 4 adults and 2 children (age 4 months and 5 years) All enjoyed the home and felt immediately at ease post check in. Days were spent relaxing by the pool with a BBQ, walking down the road to the beach/whales tale, and doing yoga at Yoga Maya (literally 60 seconds down the road walking) You are also moments away from a plethora of grocery stores, markets, and restaurants. Not to mention the seemingly unlimited expanses of beaches, waterfalls and rainforest that the South Pacific has to offer.
The house itself is beautiful - vaulted ceilings with huge functional windows and stone accents - lots of airflow (we hardly needed air conditioning at all) 3 sleeping areas with a fantastic kitchen stocked with basics and a good selection of chefs tools - covered outdoor patio and lagoon like pool area - also included were an outdoor shower, and well landscaped property with loads of native foliage.
It's all about the little details when renting houses abroad and they were certainly not spared on our stay.
Fresh cut flowers, immaculately cleaned home, fluffy 5 star quality towels and very comfortable beds with no shortage of good quality pillows and extra linens - the pool was well maintained and clean and some basic toiletries provided.
If I could give the experience 10 stars I would - and to reiterate - Christine and Tom were beyond helpful every step of the way with directions, restaurant and shopping recommendations and general advice, you don't always get such professional people to deal with and when you do its a joy.
Casita Uvita is a gem amongst the competitive rental market in Costa Rica - you definitely won't regret booking :)
