Two couples in our late-60’s, early May. Beautiful villa with a magnificent south view of the ocean. Eight minute drive on a well paved winding road ascending from the highway. About an hour south of Quepos and 5 minutes north of Uvita. “BM” supermarket in Uvita and several gourmet coffee shops and restaurants. Only complaint is poorly lit bathroom mirrors. Wonderful infinity pool with large patio, grill, table, chaise lounges, couch and chairs. Small TV, but we never used it. Mini-split AC in each of the 3 bedrooms were ample—and necessary. Two ceiling fans in the central un-air conditioned living room. Automatic standby generator provided power whenever power stopped for more than a few seconds, which was random and 3-5x/day. Large kitchen with plenty of basics. Nice laundry room with powdered detergent. Electronic security system with door and window sensors that we used when we were out. (Not sure what response there’d be to alarms.) Great responsiveness from host via VRBO site/app (property-related questions) and from designated third-party concierge company (excursions and car rental) via WhatsApp. I recommend the 20-minute, 12-seater, 1-propeller Sansa flight from San Jose to Quepos, then renting a National Rental car via the concierge at the tiny, open-air Quepos airport.

The rental was everything and more compared to the description. Great location, paved road up the mountain to the villa where we never wanted to leave. Sunsets, bird watching, and relaxing in the pool overlooking the whales tail is something we will never forget. From booking and logistics Jerome was amazing. He made sure we were taken care of from car rental, airport shuttles, last minute changes due to weather, etc… he went above and beyond ensuring we enjoyed our stay. Cathleen, the concierge, was also an all star. She helped setup multiple tours throughout the region and ensured we were taken care of. When we come back we will only look for this rental and work with Jerome and Cathleen.

Amazing property and view! Very responsive and friendly property manager. I know there is a lot online about theft in Uvita but we did not hear or witness anything like that. Take precautions as recommended by property manager, etc. but don't let that scare you away from Uvita. It is a wonderful place.

The view is spectacular. The area is full of activities but a car is necessary. We had a driver. So we enjoyed the scenery and not worrying about directions. There was plenty of wildlife in the area to observe. Bring binoculars for the birds. Security was good. There are neighbors but no noise issues. It feels secured and private. The kitchen is well supplied Great water pressure. The beds were very comfortable. The bedrooms are air conditioned but not the main area. There was always a breeze when we opened up the doors and windows. The communication was superb any questions or issues were dealt with immediately. Jerome put us in touch with Cathleen and we arranged activities so we got the most out of our time. Jonny our driver was so good with our adventures. He knew local places and people that made our trip one of a lifetime! Thank you for an excellent adventure!
