My family and I really enjoyed our 6 days in this incredible property to celebrate our 30th anniversary. It's a hike to get here from San Jose but worth the effort once you arrive. Tranquil! The owner (Joel), provided excellent intel on what do and best places to eat in the area. He was very accessible during our stay and was of great assistance in finding the Rancho Cielo restaurant. Only negatives are spotty wi-fi (especially when it rains). On our departure, we left a 4:30 am for San Jose and awoke to power outage due to downed power lines and fallen tree. We had to avoid several hundred meters of power line and the tree on our way down to main road in darkness but we made it. Another story we can tell about our time in CR. Looking forward to returning as the country and its people are fantastic.

We are all so grateful for having such a beautiful place to call home while in Costa Rica. The views were impeccable. The sun set behind the mountain. Cooking in the kitchen was a chef‘s dtream. The AC was perfect in our rooms at night for sleeping. The pool was amazing especially lit up at night. Hearing the monkeys howling, toucans, sooooo many birds, the flowers, the jungle sounds: was absolute paradise. 10/10 would stay again!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Joel‘s house. It is very well equipped and Joel was very helpful and responsive. The view is fantastic and you feel like you are in the middle of the forest with no neighbors for miles. Uvita was the perfect location for us, as it was halfway between Ojochal and Quepos. We rented two 4x4s and didn’t have any problem getting around. Joel also provided the services of Edgar to be stationed outside the home so there was absolutely no worry when we were away. Jeannette the cleaning lady did a fantastic job as well. One of the best (if not THE best) experiences we have ever had with a rental property! The kitchen was well stocked with a very nice welcome basket, the washer and dryer worked well, there are plenty of towels and beach supplies and the beds are very comfortable. The house is designed with natural ventilation which works perfectly and the pool was very enjoyable. We highly recommend this piece of paradise!

This was our first visit to the Southern Zone of CR. It is a spectacularly beautiful area! Joels house was great for our group which consisted of my husband and myself and four adult children in their mid 20's. It was somewhat daunting arriving in the dark after a 4.5 hr drive in from San Jose (stuck in traffic) but once we arrived, it was more than worth the effort! The driveway is steep, but the views are spectacular and the home is well appointed. Comfortable beds, plenty of towels, a well stocked kitchen and the added peace of mind of having Edgar provide security when we traveled during the day. Joel had many great recommendations for dining and activities and we thoroughly enjoyed each one of the recs that we tried from the various nearby beaches to the waterfall tour and a lovely dinner at Citrus in Ojochal.

We rented Aracari Villa for 6 nights in the middle of our Costa Rican holiday. Joel’s house is beautiful, spacious, with the most amazing views and every facility you might need. We arrived late at night due to a long drive and haven’t been aware of the beauty around us till we woke up the following morning. We absolutely loved everything about the house and didn’t mind 5km drive from the main road up to the house as we knew the views and seclusion are well worth it. The house is as practical as is beautiful with well equipped kitchen, laundry, good size pool and plenty of seating around the table and outdoor shaded areas. We worked online for some of the time and wifi was excellent. We settled into a routine of working and relaxing in the house till 3.00PM and then going to the beach and early dinner. When we arrived Joel explained that we would need to let his neighbour Edgar know when we were going out so he could come and look after the house while we were out. This was precautionary as opportunists might be tempted during busy Christmas period and at first we felt this would require too much forward planning but it really worked in our favour as it meant we had to settle into a daily pattern. Edgar was incredibly nice and helpful and we felt very safe with him minding the house while we were out. We were so fortunate to be close to beaches, supermarkets and great restaurants with Uvita beach being closest and best, we ended up running, walking, swimming and sunset watching there most days. Joel sent us tide times so we could plan our swims ahead, it was very useful to have. Supermarket is 10 mins drive and we found everything we needed in the bigger BM. We tried a few restaurants Joel recommended but by far the best was Scala, we ended up going there twice and plan to stop for lunch on our way back from Drake Bay to San Jose, the food and staff were amazing. We did a snorkelling tour with Pacific Expedition, only 7 of us and had an incredible experience, we were very lucky to see the whales, dolphins and swim with turtles. Communication with Joel was exemplary, he was very quick to respond with all the necessary information. We can’t recommend the house enough. For us it really worked as we stayed in hotels before and after, moving from place to place and it was so nice to settle in such amazing place surrounded by nature and close to all we wanted to do.

Une villa dans la jungle !!
Une villa dans la jungle !!
Cette villa est très bien conçue. Très ouverte vers l’extérieur et très lumineuse, cette villa permet de profiter pleinement du paysage et des vents rafraichissants qui soufflent du Pacifique. Nous avons beaucoup apprécié le fait qu’il est toujours possible d’être à l’extérieur mais en demeurant à l’ombre. La conception à ce sujet est très bien pensée. Les pièces de la villa sont grandes et bien meublées, et le mobilier est de qualité et confortable. Les équipements de la villa sont complets et excellents. La piscine est grande et très facilement accessible. Un point fort : La ventilation naturelle est fantastique partout dans la villa et la climatisation n’est vraiment pas nécessaire. La villa est très bien située, entourée par la jungle, avec aucune autre habitation en vue, seulement le Pacifique. La faune est abondante autour de la maison, et nous avons vu de nombreuses espèces d’oiseaux, des singes hurleurs et des singes capucins, des agoutis et des coatis et un jaguarundi. L’accès à la villa est facile bien qu’un 4x4 est nécessaire pour les 300 derniers mètres de chemin. Sinon, l’accès à la route principale se fait via une jolie route pavée de 5 km. Uvita et tous les services est à moins de 10 minutes. La situation de la villa est très centrale pour découvrir la Costa Ballena. Finalement, les communications avec Joel, le propriétaire, se sont avérées faciles et efficaces, et toujours rapide. Il a été d’une grande aide et nous le remercions.
