Gorgeous house with well thought out design and decor. Loved the sounds of the howler monkeys, parrots, toucans, and other birds. Saw a Coati, several stick bugs, gigantic grasshoppers, other interesting insects.
Not only was this house breathtaking, with the infinity pool, outdoor spaces, and a super open main floor plan, but the host and management team did an incredible job preparing us for the trip, and helping us make fun activity and terrific restaurant reservations. The team was very, very responsive, and was constantly checking in to see how we were getting along during our week-long stay. The drive up to the house, as mentioned by others, requires a 4x4 vehicle and a strong constitution, but the payoff once you arrive is worth it. The location in Uvita provides easy access to so many fun activities within a small driving distance. We can't recommend this experience any more. We loved it.
Everything was beyond expectation! Tastefully decorated, clean, fully stocked kitchen, gorgeous pool and views. We loved the Toucans, parrots, Capuchins, and Howlers. We plan on returning next year!
The property was beautiful. It was in a great area with many places to eat along with many excursions to do less than 10 minutes away. The view from the pool was awesome! We saw lots of wildlife from the comfort of the pool.
A beautiful house at the top of an exciting drive that absolutely requires a 4x4 vehicle.Cofmy beds, fully equipped kitchen. A/C in bedroom only. Excellent infinity pool. Absolutely great time. Recommend!!!
It was perfect for the 3 of us. the location was perfect, the view is amazing and we got to have monkeys playing right next to us the very first morning. we saw Toucans, Macaws and many other birds.
The property manager, Natasha, was very helpful.
Beautiful house; very nice location. Natasha answered all our questions and made certain that everything went smoothly. Our excursions were cancelled due to the hurricane, but we enjoyed our stay at the house, and Chef Maria outdid herself on our last night! Highly recommend a meal by Maria!
The property was very nice - clean, well maintained and comfortable with plenty of room and space for socializing as well as spending solitary time just enjoying the natural surroundings. Natasha was exceptionally helpful regarding all aspects of the property as well as assisting us with information and links regarding local attractions and tours. We had a very comfortable, exciting adventure in Uvita and surrounding areas.
This house is amazing! Fantastic location - close to town, yet feels like you're alone in the jungle. Tons of wildlife - birds, monkeys, etc. The property manager (Natasha) was extremely helpful and great to work with.
Our family can't wait to go back!
The kitchen of the house is very well equiped and the sunsetview is breathtaking. Natasha and the owner of the house really know what guest need. Natasha was so friendly and welcoming, we had such a great stay and enjoyed it very much. Thank you very much:)
Our stay here was perfect! Our entire family loved it!!! Natasha was such a wonderful help throughout our whole stay and everyone around town was so nice. Even though it says to in the listing be sure to rent a 4x4 vehicle, you will NEED it for the drive away and many other locations during your stay!
The kids are already asking when we will be going back!!!!! The pool was lovely and being surrounded by very friendly toucans, macaws and a sloth made it even more special.
Can't wait to come visit again with our newest addition <3
Spent nearly 2 weeks in Uvita Costa Rica. This is a very nice house that a great view. We really enjoyed being on the balcony and being able to look at the ocean from the pool. The wild life we saw from the balcony was great as well. We saw some howler monkeys in the trees right next to the balcony a few of the mornings. There were several tucans that visited us and we even saw a sloth on the last day! We really enjoyed our time there.
A beautiful facility that lives up to how it's been portrayed.
Definitely need four-wheel drive.
House is beautiful.
The property manager was extremely helpful in identifying things for us to do and where to go to eat, and very easy to communicate with. She kept up-to-date on our experiences and went out of her way to make sure we were getting the most out of our stay.
The house, the town of Uvita, the restaurants, the excursions, Natasha - all so wonderful and an vacation we will never forget!
In the morning and afternoons we saw sloths (2 of them!), toucans, monkeys, and lizards.
We would have loved to stay longer in this beautiful country but hope to be back.
Thank you Natasha ☺️
This property is a gem! The online picture's don't do it justice, this is a beautiful secluded oasis. We saw toucan's daily, monkey's, iguana's and macaws. We were looking to get away and this place did not disappoint. Natasha was wonderful to work with and helped us with planning. She is very attentive and knowledgeable of the area. We will definitely be coming back!
Our family of 5 had a wonderful stay at Casa La Vista in Uvita. The property manager has the best customer service of any VRBO we have stayed at, very communicative and helpful. They assisted with booking activities and followed up several times. Any questions we had were answered super fast.As for the location, the house is tucked away in the hill and surrounded by wildlife. A few friendly toucans visited the house each morning. Also, there are two supermarkets nearby that we used but found the BM market to have better selection for our family needs over the Maxi Pali. A 4x4 vehicle is imperative to make it up the driveway to the house - the property team will also remind you. Overall it was a great week, our first time in CR!
The house was amazing and everything that we expected and more from the listing! It has gorgeous views and is impeccably maintained. Natasha (the property manager) went above and beyond. She met us to make sure we got to the property okay, walked us through the house making sure to answer any questions, kept in contact during the stay, was a great resource for questions and met us on our day of departure to help us check out. This was the best VRBO experience we have had (and we have had some amazing ones)!
Everything about the property was amazing! The location was perfect, the pool was amazing, the beds were extremely comfortable. Tons of wildlife - birds, monkeys, and the daily visit from the toucans. Amazing view of the pacific. I highly recommend having dinner prepared by the private chef, we had it our arrival day - it was absolutely delicious and so nice not to have to worry about figuring out dinner after a long travel day. Natasha was very responsive and great to work with. We can't wait to come back!
This property is beautiful and perfect for enjoying the sights and sounds of the Costa Rican jungle. Not only that, you get a view of the pacific ocean from a comfortable and spacious patio. The pool is amazing and the property is lush and well kept. The local property manager Natasha was key to ensuring our stay was perfectly memorable. She was avaliable, helpful, and added a first class touch of care to our stay! Groceries are very close by and the town of Uvita itself was great. Easy drive to Dominical too. You will not be disappointed at Casa La Vista!
While traveling with my family of 5, this house provided an amazing base for us to explore this beautiful country from. The house is large, flawlessly clean and in good order and situated right on the hillside surrounded by forest. We spotted macaws and toucans from the pool and could hear the howler monkeys in the distance (sometimes maybe not so distant) while enjoying our morning coffee. Natasha was accessible and easy to communicate with when we had questions. The lower level wifi did not work for the duration of our stay and I noted some other reviews mentioned this. This wasn't too important to us on this trip, but thought I'd mention it for anyone who that might be of importance to. Great hosts, beautiful place and an immaculately clean and wonderful home to stay in!
House is beautiful and we’d stay there again - the property management team was excellent, with very good communication and prompt resolution of issues. The only 3 issues with the house to be aware of. 1. The kitchen/living area is not air conditioned and can be very hot, especially the first day when all the windows are closed up. 2. The screens don’t fit properly in many windows, so bugs come in the gaps. 3. The downstairs bedrooms are very musky smelling. All in all the property is amazing.
