About this house rental

Located in Bahía Ballena, this attractive house for $495 per night is a great choice for your next trip. Incredible design and immaculate sightlines make Ballena Royale one of southern Costa Rica's most sought-after luxury vacation rentals. Construction on this stylish 3-bedroom, 3 ½-bath home wrapped up in August 2019 and the results are stunning. Located in the lush mountains of Escaleras, between the southern Pacific coastal towns of Dominical and Uvita, Ballena Royale sparkles and shines with every footstep through this lovely property. The living area, swimming pool, bedrooms, gazebo/palapa, and pool bar all feature storybook jungle-to-ocean views. Gaze out at the world-famous Whale's Tail reef and you may be lucky enough to spot a blue whale navigating the Pacific shoreline below. The house is so private that only toucans, monkeys, parrots, geckos, butterflies, and sloths are within eyesight. Ballena Royale was made for outdoor living. Belly up to a gorgeous wood bar or let the sounds of the water fountain lull you to sleep in a nice lounge chair. When you're feeling spry, do a few laps in the infinity pool or partake in some yoga exercise over at the palapa. With something for everyone, this is a great vacation option for families and friends. The home is fully equipped with wireless internet, a flat-screen television, a dishwasher, BBQ, a multi-car garage, a gated entrance, and a washer/dryer unit. There are a half-dozen pool lounge chairs as well as plenty of outdoor furniture. The kitchen table has space for 8 guests, while the fusion granite kitchen countertop has enough room to prepare a meal for a mid-size army. There is an on-site staff that keeps the property clean & well-maintained. The staff lives in separate private accommodations away from the main Villa. Two of the bedrooms are upstairs, while the third bedroom is on the main floor of the villa. Each bedroom has an air-conditioner unit, an en-suite bathroom, and a safe for personal belongings. An outdoor tub and shower are the main attractions of the master bedroom. If you like spending time in a tub while taking in the sounds of the jungle, this is definitely the room for you. It has a king bed. The two upstairs rooms are split with a balcony in between. One of the bedrooms has a king bed that can be altered into a pair of twins for younger kids. The other upstairs bedroom has a queen bed and an indoor bathtub. It takes less than 10 minutes to get to Ballena Royale from the coastal highway. You will need a 4x4 vehicle to properly navigate the area. The nearest bar and restaurant, Bar Jolly Roger, is a 2-minute drive from the house. It'll take anywhere from 10-20 minutes in the car to reach most local beaches, towns, shopping places, and restaurants. Ballena Royale is serviced by YouGetHere Property Management. Our dedicated team will be here to assist with check-in and check-out, tour reservations, chef recommendations, in-home massage appointments, and car rental or shuttle service. YouGetHere's staff is always just a quick phone call or email away. If you're ready to spend some quality time in one of the world's most amazing and diverse regions, then Ballena Royale is the perfect destination for your next great adventure. A 4x4 vehicle is essential to access this property. Check-in times are between 4:00 PM and 8:30 PM. Check-out times are between 5:00 AM and 10:00 AM.

Wonderful home, conveniently located near waterfalls, ATV and horseback tours, and multiple beaches. There are good restaurants in several surrounding towns and on the mountain itself. Quepos marina is an hour away for fantastic offshore fishing. Loved the seclusion with the availability to whatever we needed a few minutes away. Make sure you have a 4x4 rental car to be safe on the mountain road. We’ll be back.

The property was exactly as pictured and described in the listing. We enjoyed spending time by the pool and relaxing at the house - almost hated to leave for our adventures! The property management service was fantastic helping out with groceries, booking trips, and supporting us with check in, etc. There is a restaurant that is extremely convenient, “Bar Jolly Roger”, that has the best wings we’ve ever had. Amazing property…highly recommend!

Ballena Royale was an amazing home base for our trip to Costa Rica. It was even better than the gorgeous photos advertising the property.The home was absolutely beautifully designed to maximize on comfort and the spectacular views of the Whale’s Tail and ocean. Everything was thoughtfully designed with high end materials. The landscaping was spectacular around every part of the property. Both the owner and property rental company went beyond and above to make sure our stay was outstanding. I would highly recommend Ballena Royale to anyone who wants a most memorable location for a vacation to Costa Rica!!

We loved every second of our stay at Ballena Royale! This property is amazing, with nothing left to want! The pool/lanai area is where we spent the majority of our time and was so comfortable. We highly recommend opening the large door between the kitchen and deck… such a great addition! The outside shower & tub were awesome as were the two upstairs bedrooms. The groundskeeper was polite and did a great job keeping the property in great shape. We saw Zoë, the sloth, every day during our stay!! Pura Vida!

This was one of the most magical places I’ve ever been to. Every detail of this property from the front gate and landscaping to the textured finishes of each element of this home truly captures the essence and beauty of Costa Rica. This oasis is nestled with a perfect south facing view of the pacific coast line. We spent most of our time outdoors at this property enjoying the beautiful tropical vibe and feel of the home. The pictures as great as they are do not do justice for how breathtaking the view and backyard is. The audio of the surrounding nature was very nice to wake up and fall asleep to. It wasn’t too high up from the main road/beach and the road is very well maintained. The house is very well kept and clean. The outdoor showers were great, the beds were comfy and the lighting options at night outside were also nice. It was difficult to leave when it was time to checkout, but we are already looking into planing a return trip to this paradise of a home soon. Travelled as a couple.

The pictures do not do this home justice, walking in the whole family was amazed with how beautiful everything was. From the view of the pool and pacific ocean, the outdoor kitchen and living space, the indoor kitchen, and the rooms. We loved the outdoor shower and tub, showering and watching all the hummingbirds dance around the tree. You will not be disappointed in this house at all. There is so much wildlife on the property! You get to hear the howler monkeys all day, and there is a resident flock of Toucans that you get to hear and see every day, there is also a sloth that is on the property, but sadly we didn't get a glimpse of him. So many other beautiful birds and butterflies. There is a young green iguana that we saw multiple times as well. You Get Here was outstanding to work with. We had some travel issues and they were very accommodating and everyone was incredible to work with. They made sure we had everything we needed and asked us what time worked for us to have the house cleaned while we were there. If we had any questions they answered promptly. We only had one minor issue but it wasn't a huge deal. There are many wifi access points in the house but they overlap wifi ranges so wifi would drop in a out. I would recommend swapping out to a full mesh wifi system, that would solve all those issues. This was the first vacation where the entire family didn't want to go home at the end. I would stay here or any other You Get Here property without hesitation!

We enjoyed every minute of our stay in Costa Rica and it was such a pleasure to return to this beautiful home at the of each day. The house design complements the beautiful setting and view. We enjoyed all the various sitting areas from the lower level of the pool to the second-floor veranda. The resident sloth made several appearances as well as hummingbirds, frogs, and a cheeky basilisk lizard who can take an early morning sprint across the pool if startled. Jhonnathan helped us check in and was very accommodating. Thank you to everyone involved in keeping this home so very clean and well-kept indoors and out. I would highly recommend and would return to Ballena Royale.

As others have stated, pictures don’t do this place justice… and the pictures are amazing!! Super clean, and a great layout for the whole family. What a view from the pool and patio area and lots of separate areas to just relax. There’s even a resident sloth nearby, see if you can spot him. What a great place.

Everything was perfect except for some power issues with breakers popping when multiple showers were being taken. You must have 4x4! The view is beautiful. Would stay here again.

Have you ever been to a luxury resort and wished that you were the only ones there? Welcome to Ballena Royale. You will not need to leave this home for your entire stay to enjoy Costa Rica. The view from windows, balcony, pool, palapa, outdoor showers … is breath taking. We’ve been to Costa Rica three times and stayed at four different luxury home rentals — really nice places. Ballena Royale is the only one that was immaculately clean, stocked with quality items (e.g., kitchen), and where *everything* worked properly. We were so blessed to be able to spend our honeymoon at such a paradise. It was the type of home that you say to yourself, “I want to build my dream home *exactly* like this.” We will return!
