Incroyable Whitewater Vue De La Ballena Marine Preserve Îles

Pura Vida!

Ceci est l'expression du Costa Rica pour tout ce qui est bon. Il se traduit par la vie pure et est utilisé comme une salutation et une salutation. Il parle toujours avec un sourire. Costa Rica est considéré comme l'un des plus beaux endroits sur terre. Vous pouvez découvrir pourquoi.

Imaginez des plages isolĂ©es oĂč la jungle rencontre le sable, les singes et les toucans vous saluent chaque matin, ou nager sous les cascades chaudes. Tout cela se passe tous les jours dans la beautĂ© intacte de Uvita.

Notre maison de vacances est situĂ© dans une ancienne jungle de croissance minutes de la plage sur la cĂŽte du Pacifique Ă  Marino Ballena parc national, le seul parc national marin au Costa Rica. Ballena traduit Ă  la baleine. Humpbacks des milliers sud et du nord de l'hĂ©misphĂšre voyage de miles d'avoir leurs bĂ©bĂ©s dans ce domaine. Excellente observation des baleines, plongĂ©e en apnĂ©e et la plongĂ©e! Nous sommes Ă  mi-chemin entre Manuel Antonio, le parc le plus populaire au Costa Rica, et de la cĂ©lĂšbre pĂ©ninsule d'Osa. National Geographic a nommĂ© notre rĂ©gion l'une des zones les plus importantes biodiversitĂ©s de la planĂšte. De la maison et la piscine vous pouvez voir l'ocĂ©an en constante Ă©volution pacifique, Ăźles locales, la faune incroyable, forĂȘt tropicale, et magnifiques couchers de soleil.

La nourriture dans la rĂ©gion est le meilleur au Costa Rica et peut-ĂȘtre l'un des meilleurs que nous ayons jamais eu - pensent Napa dans le Pacifique Sud. Les expatriĂ©s du monde entier ont créé incroyables dĂ©lices culinaires. Nous pouvons vous recommander au moins 10 restaurants dans la rĂ©gion. Vous pouvez boire de l'eau et de manger de la nourriture et ne vous inquiĂ©tez pas.

La maison dispose de trois chambres et deux salles de bains, rĂ©cemment entiĂšrement rĂ©novĂ© cuisine gastronomique, salle de lavage, deux zones de patio extĂ©rieur, une piscine Ă  dĂ©bordement modeste, et un barbecue en pierre (planches de bodyboard, chaises de plage, plage et serviettes de piscine, un refroidisseur, un tĂ©lescope et des bottes de singe dĂ©couverte en caoutchouc sont dans les placards de la chambre). Écoutez les vagues qui se brisent sur la rive du lit que vous vous rĂ©veillez singes hurleurs appelant dans les arbres. La jungle est juste devant la porte. Faites une promenade et voir toutes les merveilles que vous attendez du Costa Rica.

La maison est un outil facile 2 roues motrices accessible depuis la route principale avec une route large, courte maintenue menant Ă  la maison. Cela ne devrait pas ĂȘtre sous-estimĂ©e. La plupart des maisons dans la rĂ©gion de prendre un 4x4 long trajet jusqu'Ă  une pente raide, une seule voie, route sinueuse prendre jusqu'Ă  20 minutes de la route principale, particuliĂšrement difficile la nuit. Il n'y aura pas d'anxiĂ©tĂ© conduisant Ă  cette maison.

Ce n'est pas une ville de villégiature. Il est un domaine agraire avec de belles fermes et plages vierges et jungle. Il est un endroit idéal pour explorer et découvrir. Cela excitera votre aventurier intérieur. 5 ßles sont visibles de chez nous. Je ne connais plus personne qui puisse se vanter de ça!

Nous serions ravis de vous accueillir comme notre invité à Casa Ballena.

Pura Vida!

Remarque:
C'est un beau 3-3. 5 heures de route Ă  Osa (cĂ©lĂšbre pour la faune). Nous sommes dans le parc national Bahia Ballena. Je suggĂšre aux clients de s'arrĂȘter au pont des crocodiles en chemin pour voir de grands crocodiles sauvages. J'ai des endroits Ă  dĂ©jeuner Ă  recommander le long de la cĂŽte aussi. Les routes sont bonnes, mais des tracteurs servant au secteur de l'huile de palme peuvent occasionnellement vous ralentir. Vous pouvez voler Sansa ou Nature dans Quepos depuis San Jose. Il s’agit d’un vol de 25 minutes puis de 45 minutes de route en bas de la cĂŽte. 80% en voiture de San Jose et 20% par avion Ă  Quepos. Vous pouvez louer une voiture dans l'un ou l'autre endroit. Je peux aussi demander Ă  un chauffeur de venir vous chercher Ă  l'aĂ©roport et de vous conduire Ă  Uvita pour louer votre voiture. Beaucoup d'options. J'ai beaucoup de recommandations Ă  partager avec vous en termes de lieux Ă  visiter et de restaurants prĂ©fĂ©rĂ©s.

Perfect and relaxing getaway

This property is just as described and reviewed by many others: clean, comfortable, well located and with amazing ocean views. We were a family of 4; 2 adults and two children. The pool is small, but clean and perfectly located to enjoy both sun and view. It was truly a must for us! The beds are comfortable and the AC in the bedrooms is appreciated during warmer nights. The location is far enough to enjoy privacy, but close enough to town in case you need something quicker. We saw countless birds including scarlet macaws, green macaws and toucans. Excellent quality versus price property and we would without a doubt highly consider it again on our next trip to Costa Rica. Thanks again!

Great house and central location

Webhad a great stay at this house. We appreciated the large gathering spaces, the well equipped kitchen, the view from the pool, and the good AC in the bedrooms. The best part was the view and the sunsets sitting in the pool. The house is located close to all the best beaches and restaurants. All in all we had a great stay!

Beautiful Home, Stunning Views & Exceptional Hospitality

Our stay at this property was absolutely wonderful. The house, gardens, and views were even more stunning in person than in the photos. Everything was spotless, comfortable, and beautifully maintained.The owners were incredibly helpful and welcoming. The caretaker met us at the local grocery store, waited while we picked up supplies, then guided us to the house and gave us a thorough walkthrough. The owner also stayed in touch throughout our visit and was especially helpful when my son needed medical care, providing prompt and valuable assistance.Do note that the house is located on a steep dirt road—having a 4x4 vehicle is definitely recommended. The nearest beach is just a short drive away, and there are plenty of excellent restaurants, scenic beaches, waterfalls, and other attractions nearby.We had an amazing time here and would highly recommend this property to anyone visiting the area!

Amazing Vacation

My family and I spent 5 days at Mark's house. Not only was it a wonderful house but the wealth of information that Mark provided took all of the guesswork out of vacation research. Every recommendation we followed turned out great: David's river tour, Adventuras Bahia, Jungle ATV, and Arcos Beach and the hikes around it to name a few. Mark was incredibly attentive checking in and ready for any question or unexpected event. We wish we could have stayed longer and can't wait to to come back! The house was as beautiful as described and super comfortable.

Amazing views and place! Unfortunately we had airline connection issues and missed a full day. Mark is a great guy who is readily available for questions and help. Saw some toucans, hawk lots of unidentified birds. Love the pool and peaceful surroundings. Really amazing location with minimal drive to main road. Had 4wheel but never needed. Hubby enjoyed the hammock. Thank you Mark for sharing your beautiful house! Wish we had booked longer not enough time to explore the area. Hope to return someday. Pura Vida!

Amazing House With A View

Our family of 5 had an amazing stay at this home. It was the perfect hub to do everything we wanted to do and the views are better than the pictures. Mark is very responsive to questions and provided many recommendations. He emailed info to us after we booked and there is also a binder at the house. We did an all-day private boat tour with Martin Adventours and highly recommend them. It cost us less to combine sportfishing with snorkeling at Cano Island and we had the boat all to ourselves. Our tour guide and captain were exceptional. We did the Sierpe Mangrove tour with David. David was sick but Adriel took his place and he was wonderful. We saw more animals than we expected on this tour - amazing birds, some with babies or eggs, squirrel monkeys, a howler monkey, boa snakes, and a sloth. Highly recommend! We ate at the soda in Uvita, Bagel Time, Pizza Time, La Percela in Dominicalito (where we saw capuchin monkeys). Beehive restaurant in Uvita was our big splurge - pricey but the food and service were phenomenal. We even tried Pollolandia for one meal. All the food we had was delicious. The local supermarkets had everything we needed and the beaches were close and beautiful. We took road trips to the Boruca village and Don Emilio's coffee farm (visit the amazing waterfall up the road too). Both were worth the drive. From the house we saw toucans, agouti, scarlet macaws, iguanas, and many birds and the howler monkeys came out on our last night. Vacation of a lifetime!

One less on the Bucket List!

We had an absolutely unforgettable stay at this stunning villa just south of Uvita. The views of the ocean and surrounding canopy were truly breathtaking—every sunrise and sunset felt like a dream. Hands down, the best beaches we have ever seen were literally just a few min away from this property. The villa itself was beautifully designed, and incredibly comfortable. If you are a bird lover, you will not be disappointed! We experienced seeing more types of amazing birds while just enjoying the veranda in the early morning and the evenings. What really set this experience apart was the host—his local recommendations were spot-on (we didn’t have a single bad meal!), and he was consistently responsive and helpful throughout our stay. If you’re looking for the perfect combination of natural beauty, relaxation, and great hospitality, this is it. We can’t wait to come back!

Family Fun in Uvita

Our family of five, all adults, had a lovely stay in this Uvita house. The bedrooms were comfy, the kitchen well stocked, and the living area spacious.The setting was just beautiful. We spent much of our time enjoying the sounds and sights of the birds from the dining patio, gazing at the wide open view of the ocean and nearby islands and cooling off in the refreshing pool. The garden was full of tropical flowers and trees.We appreciated the convenience of the location. The towns of Uvita and Ojochal were just minutes away as well as several beaches, restaurants and adventures.The owner, Mark, was extremely helpful and responsive to any of our needs.Our adventures included a boat trip up the Sierpe River to see wildlife, a tour of Alturas Wildlife Sanctuary and snorkeling at Cano Island. We explored several beaches, a waterfall and ate well at several restaurants. In late March we could just walk into any restaurant and be seated immediately, arrange tours on any day and easily park anywhere. How relaxing and hassle free!This was our first time to Costa Rica and we highly recommend Uvita and this wonderful house. Pura Vida!

Great convenient stay with a view!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The location could not have been better, easy to get to our favorite beaches, restaurants and groceries. Owners were very responsive and super helpful with booking tours extra. Very well appointed! The pool was a cocktail pool which we weren’t expecting so we didn’t really use much and we didn’t have much hot water. That is not uncommon for the area but if you aren’t used to that just take note. It does take getting used to when everyone is trying to get ready for dinner, etc. For nature, pure beauty and convenience, you can’t go wrong! We had a great time! Pura Vida

Like Sleeping in the Jungle!

Had a stellar vacation at Mark and Allyson’s Jungle house. Woke every day buy 5:30, watched an amazing amount of birds right there! The house is close to everything. The grounds are incredible. Mark was quick to respond. They really do want you to have the best stay ever! We did follow their list of best places to eat as well as things to do in the area. Heads up though, if you are planning to eat in Ojochal, get reservations. Lots of nicks and crannies to discover in the area. The Pacific Ocean was warm and fun. Fishing in the area is excellent. Thank you so much for sharing your home. Would not hesitate to go back. Well done Mark and Allyson!

Thanksgiving Relaxation

This location was exactly what our family needed. The house was beautiful. It had a breathtaking ocean view and the natural wonders of the jungle. We saw toucans, Izzy the resident Iguana and a small tapir. We could hear howler monkeys all around in the mornings. Mark was on the spot communicating with us to make our arrival seamless. Rolando was a huge help checking. The recommendation provided by Mark were very helpful. The beaches are a short drive from the house. We had a relaxing week and look forward to visiting again.

Pura Vida in Costa Ballena

Our family has stayed at many properties in the area. This location of this house is what sets it apart for us. We've gone a half hour up the mountain to get to houses, this was 1 minute. There's a little highway noise because of it, but not annoying enough to take away from the close proximity to everything and the amazing view. We would definitely stay here again.

Fantastic!

My husband and I spent 5 wonderful days at this property in Uvita. The house is beautiful and very well appointed. The host provided a treasure trove of information about the area, activities and other information that was especially helpful for us since we had never been to Costa Rica before. In fact, the information was so thorough, we even ended up helping out some locals we met on Ventanas Beach! The access point they normally used to come to the beach was closed for maintenance and they weren't sure how to get back to their car. Mark's "alternate route" saved the day! We also had several lovely meals at host recommended restaurants and tours by local, recommended guides. The property has stunning views of the ocean and you will see (and hear) plenty of local wildlife right from the patio. Truly paradise and a host who goes above and beyond!

Just book it already

We spent the week sitting on the patio or soaking in the pool, watching and listening to wildlife, from monkeys and agoutis to toucans, hummingbirds, and all kinds of other exotic and rare birds (you should seriously consider downloading the Merlin Bird ID app!). We watched humpback whales breaching in the sea, enjoyed the company of geckos and basilisks, and were very happy with the level of comfort and privacy. It was quiet but not far from groceries and anything else you want/need while in the country. We've stayed at 7 or 8 villas/houses in Costa Rica, and this is the one we''ll go back to. Everyone was very responsive and made the entire process seamless. We can't recommend this place enough.

Can’t wait to go back!

I can’t begin to describe our vacation at Mark and Allison’s place. The house was perfect, beautiful, welcoming and warm, like being in your own home. It had everything we needed and more. We had more than a few hiccups during our stay that included a couple of urgent care visits but Mark was there to help us every step of the way. We loved the location and ease the home provided us in doing all the things we planned and still was an oasis to stay in and relax while taking in all the beauty the home provided. My daughter is a zookeeper and was up early every morning to go see what birds or wildlife she could see on the property. It was so tranquil in a way that you couldn’t help but get caught up in the sounds, sights and smells that Costa Rica has to offer. As I said in the subject line, we can’t wait to go back and will definitely be staying here again.

Mark gives a very robust document of tips, directions, information, recommended excursions and so much more. I planned everything based on Mark’s rec. We did snorkeling at cano island, a Jungle ATV tour which included a stop at a coffee farm and the horseback riding to Nauyaca falls. These were fantastic trips with guides that not only did their job but talked to you and got to know you! The Costa Ricans are so proud of their beautiful country and want to share it with you! We hiked at La Cosinga Lodge and saw monkeys. We managed to hit Playa Arco and the Whale tail at low tide- highly recommend both! Last but not least we stopped in to see Playa Ballena, Playa Pinuelas, and Playa Ventana - all at high tide but got to see three different and beautiful beaches!

Love Marks House- 2nd Time Stay

This is our second time staying at Mark's house. We had a great time. The house is beautiful, the view is unbelievable. This was the first time we brought our kids to Costa Rica and they loved it. The area was great and everyone loved the pool. But highly recommend the house â€ïžâ€ïžâ€ïžđŸŒŽđŸŠœ

I'm not sure I can describe how much my husband and I enjoyed our stay! The house is wonderful, all you could possibly need, well stocked kitchen, grill, beach towels and chairs, comfy bed, lush gardens, and an amazing pool. It's the perfect home base for so many activities but you may not want to leave the pool and porch. We loved listening to the birds each morning with coffee and in the evening with a drink. We were amazed by the birds, especially loved seeing the yellow-throated toucan. Mark provides wonderful information on excursions and restaurants. We hope to visit again!
