What a View!
We were a group of three adult females visiting Costa Rica for the first time. The house, property and pool are beautiful. I highly suggest allowing Del to schedule your transportation and excursions. All were flawless. The transportation to and from the airport was worth every penny. Don't be intimidated by the driveway. We rented the car from Del and once Adrian showed us how to navigate the driveway, it was no problem at all, even in the rain and dark. We saw lots of birds, had daily visits from agouti and coatimundi that we enjoyed watching.

Family vacation
Second time staying in Uvita - this time with our boys, ages 12 and 17. Del's property is a beautiful paradise respite. Do beware, power outages can be a slight hinderance. It's par for the course up in those hills. We had several, mostly in the evening, and lasting a few hours. However, we were not deterred! Candles and a gas grill made all the difference. We were able to cook and clean and enjoy the night time jungle sights (lots of fireflies) and sounds without worry. Adrian, the property manager, lives on site just a stone's throw from the casa. He was always quick to check in and keep us posted. He's also very friendly and courteous and prompt when you need help with anything. We enjoyed walking the property grounds with him and learning more about the area. Additionally, Del was VERY helpful with booking tours for us and checking in to make sure we were enjoying our stay... And, as many others have commented - the road is steep, but with the right vehicle, you won't have any issues. The only regret from our 17 year old son was that he couldn't drive it himself (due to his age and rental car rules). :) Overall, we loved our time there. Pura vida!

☀️🌴Fabulous Place🌴☀️
The house was everything we wanted! Stunning views with total privacy! And of course everyone wants it to be peaceful … the only noise was from the critters & birds in the jungle … very unique sounds … just loved it! We were lucky enough to see a Toucan right at the house but sadly no Monkeys. All-in-all bugs not bad but do watch out for the spiders. Landscape and gardens were absolutely beautiful. Oh and the pool was so refreshing with stunning views while floating on our rafts (worth bringing)! We also enjoyed using sliding board … it was so fun😆. It’s a very safe place … we always left shutting the front door but every other door and windows were left open. There is a safe in the bathroom cabinet (which is not mentioned in the info packet at the house). We put our passports and extra money in there. Adrian (the property manager) reassured us that we didn’t need to worry even with passing neighbors “no one would enter the house” and he was right! I just want to emphasize how Adrian was always available to answer all of our questions and he was very helpful and made some awesome suggestions. Communication with Del was also great & very helpful! Thank you both!! One activity we highly recommend which isn’t far from the house … just a ride down the mountain … Uvita Paradise Adventures what a blast! As comments have been made previously, just be prepared for the ride up the mountain to the house! It’s worth the extra money to stay and spoil oneself here!

Had an absolutely wonderful time staying at Del's place. The house is beautiful and the kitchen well stocked for anyone wishing to prepare meals. The view of the Whale Tail from the second floor master bedroom is spectacular and Adrian the care taker is so helpful. The drive up the mountain as others have mentioned is interesting but definitely worth it! Will definitely stay again next time in the Uvita area!

Views not worth the drama
The views from the house are beautiful. Edgar, the gentleman who helped with check-in and problems we had at the house, was kind, caring, and professional. However, Del, the person who we corresponded with before our arrival was rude and his customer service left much to be desired. His unkind manner was unfortunate. The road to the house is truly difficult and can be dangerous during rainy season. For context, we live in Costa Rica and have a 4x4 vehicle. We still got stuck on the drive to the house. Only ATVs, dirt bikes, and one work truck were on the road. By luck, the work truck had 6 very kind men who stopped and all pushed our car to help us along the way. We were told by those men to be very careful on the road when it rains in the afternoon (and it rains every afternoon). As a result, we only went into town in the morning. This was extremely limiting in our ability to explore Uvita, enjoy live music in the evenings, or go out for dinner. Driving up the road was always stressful. The house has beautiful views. However, half the lights downstairs did not work. Only the upstairs master bathroom had towels or toilet paper - none of the downstairs bathrooms were prepared for guests. We had to ask for a second bedroom to have sheets put on the bed - the other bedroom had a mattress covered with a blanket. The house could not be less inviting. It seemed like the host only wanted us to use the master bedroom and bathroom (but we rented the entire house). We ended up leaving the house a day/night early. The road was so limiting and the house was not welcoming. It honestly felt like Del did not want us to be there. (Again, Edgar was very nice.) Unfortunately, I cannot recommend anyone use this property.

Amazing property
This house was a slice of heaven!! You really felt as if you were living in an oasis in the middle of the jungle/rain forest. The views are breathtaking of the whale tail. My son loved the pool slide!! We even took a little family hike during our stay to take in our surroundings. The lights did go out our last night while I was cooking, but thank goodness there was a bbq pit and my hubby finished cooking our dinner… That was the only challenge but that’s normal in Costa Rica. The other challenge was getting to the property, but we called the owner and he had Alex meet up with us to guide us the rest of the way… After the first day my hubby knew his way up and down the mountain and around town. My family and I will definitely be back..

All about the view for us!
Waking up to looking over the trees and down upon the small city was amazing. It is very high up a mountain so the drive is very steep(bumpy!) and the road is mainly dirt till you reach near the actuall house. The hot water is ran off propane and only one shower can be ran at a time, also tou can't have any of the appliances going while someone is showering. Lots of animals and bugs! There are extremely small sugar ants that are just simply everywhere in every room. The property has fruit trees and beautiful flowers and the beds were comfortable. The main bedroom is the only room in the house with AC. At the bottom of the driveway there is a cute little breakfast spot, Esmeralda. Alex was very helpful and always replies in a timely manner. Over all it is a beautiful tropical house!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. Alex and Estafany, the caretakers, were readily available, spoke good English, and helped us with a few minor issues. The pool was clean and lovely, the kitchen well-stocked, and the beds comfortable. Toucans and parrots awakened us each morning, and the jungle noises at night were soothing and exotic.

Wonderful property
The views from the house are amazing! It is a bit of a trek up a mountain road with some pretty steep inclines up toward the top. We rented an AWD and had no problem getting up and down the mountain using "sports mode" (though I imagine it would be more difficult during rainy season). Del was very responsive prior to our arrival and checked-in the first day to make sure all was well. Alex, the caretaker, is exceptional - friendly, helpful, and responsive. He arranged a horseback ride to the Nauyaca Falls with a wonderful guide named Marvin. One of the highlights during our trip. A clean, very comfortable house with a great swimming pool, surrounded by wildlife and stunning scenery. Highly recommended.

Great Place, just be aware of fee addons
Place is great and the property managers were amazing. Its way way up the mountain so get ready for some thrilling unpaved roads, but that is to be expected for anyone who has been here a at all. The kids loved the pool and I loved the openness. The only reason that it doesn't get 5 stars is I paid more in add on fees then the actually booking of the property. (property fees, per quest add ons, cleaning fees, etc.) Just look at the fine print before hitting agree.

Retreat in the clouds
The pictures cant even begin to do the property justice, this place is just amazing. Everything was clean and well maintained, and the onsite hosts were as nice as you can get. Getting up the mountain can be... harrowing, be prepared to go slow and you must have 4wd. But being that far up ensures you are alone and among the clouds, withthe real actual rain forest only feet from the pool. The whole experience was surreal, and I would definitely rent from Del again

A million dollar view
This home has an amazing view of the whales tale. The garden is beautiful and the pool is amazing. The kids enjoyed the pool more than anything else. We did feel a tiny earthquake while we were sitting out on the porch. To drive up to the amazing house make sure you DO get a 4x4, if you don’t get one you won’t make it. It is very steep going up the mountain. The drive up is around 15-18 minutes from Uvita. Alex the caretaker is really nice and helps you in anything you need. He wants to make sure you are okay and have everything you need. He can also help you look for tours. Hermès the driver that picked us up at the airport is a wonderful driver. We felt safe with him driving us to Uvita. We had a wonderful time. This was our 25 year anniversary and wished we could of stayed there longer. Until next time. Pura Vida!!!!

Why you should book this property now!
There is not enough space in this box for me to paste the entire review that I wrote. So, let me be more brief. The owner and caretakers of this property are very helpful and sincere. Arranging for a driver to pick us up at the San Jose airport and return us there was the best, as we didn't have to worry about renting a car or navigating driving in an unfamiliar country. Renting the owner's 4x4 was perfect, and easier than trying to rent a car at the airport. As for the tours, we recommend very strongly the horseback riding tour with Marvin. It's only 1.5 miles riding from his farm to the Nauyaca Waterfalls, so just enough for novice riders, with swimming, lunch (provided), and exploring Marvin's family farm. Book this tour - the most authentic CR experience we had in country. The ATV tour is also strongly recommended; a great way to see the various microclimates in the rainforest without having to hike 4000 feet up the mountain. The waterfalls and coffee plantation tour were perfect. Minor issues were that the Wi-Fi password in the VRBO app was incorrect, several lights in the property were burned out, and the room safes were inoperable. But we were able to get the password from the caretaker Alex, and we didn't complain about the other things as they were no big deal. The views, flora and fauna, pool, etc at the property are amazing! Have the resident maid/chef cook you dinner once. Highly recommended!

Gorgeous and close to nature!
You MUST like nature to truly appreciate this beautiful property...as described there are loud and active bugs, birds and monkeys (although I didn't see the monkeys, they were always there). You have to keep the doors and windows open to enjoy the breeze and fresh air but you will have to deal with flying creatures in the house, it is what it is....I would have liked to see a little less of the miniature ants that came out in an instant whe food was around...you cannot leave anything in the open for more than 5 minutes or magically hundreds of these tiny, tiny ants will appear and try to take your food...I left a tri-tip to cool off the grill on the counter and it was history before I could enjoy it....Oh well, lesson learned...Alex is great, the caretaker I wish I spoke better Spanish so I could have worked more easily with him but hey, we got it done, eventually! The pool needs to be netted daily, I wasn't great about bringing this up to Alex but I should have, the bugs are a challenge...the views are breathtaking and the proximity to town is great. Yes, you need a 4x4 but the one I got from the rental place was fine It is a hike from San Jose, no doubt....All in all I loved it abd would go back....Del was very responsive and I enjoyed my stay, thanks, Del!
