Apartment in Bahía Ballena
Reasons to book
About this apartment rental
For travelers who want more than a hotel room — a private home where the jungle is your backyard.
Carpintero is a stand-alone, design-built cabin set in lush tropical garden above Playa Hermosa, Bahía Ballena, on Costa Rica's South Pacific coast. It's built for indoor-outdoor living: a full wall of folding glass doors opens from the living space directly onto a large, private terrace overlooking rainforest canopy.
Why VRBO guests book Carpintero:
The Home:
- Studio layout with smart separation: King bedroom with custom hardwood bed and premium linens, distinct living area with L-sectional, full kitchen with island and 3 stools, dedicated work desk with hillside view. No sharing walls. Only jungle sounds.
- Large private outdoor space — covered terrace with lounge chairs, outdoor dining potential, morning yoga, sunset drinks.
- Built for comfort: floors stay cool, cross-breeze design, ceiling fan, 2 high-speed WiFi services(fiber optic and Starlink), full kitchen with full-size fridge, gas stove, coffee maker, blender, and everything you need to cook.
- Large bathroom: Rainfall shower with jungle window, vessel sink on live-edge wood slab, glass block design for privacy + light.
Outside:
Private entrance, easy parking right at property, no steep 4x4 road. You are fully surrounded by tropical plants — heliconia, palms, fruit trees — with regular visits from toucans, scarlet macaws, and monkeys. Yet you are just 5 minutes by car to Playa Hermosa, and Uvita center for groceries, restaurants, and Marino Ballena National Park with the famous Whale's Tail sandbar.
Perfect For:
Couples retreat, solo reset, remote work escape, small families, or nature-focused travelers who want a real house in the jungle, not a condo. Guests stay an average of 6 nights because once they see the morning light through the palms from bed, they don't want to leave.
The VRBO Difference:
This is a fully private, stand-alone cabin — not a shared unit. You get the entire house, entire terrace, and jungle view to yourself, but we also believe in transparency so please be aware that there are 2 more houses along the 1-acre property. Each house is private. Additionally, at the center of the property, we offer a common area with a swimming pool, barbecue area, and lawn for our guests to enjoy..
Come enjoy the beaches of Playa Hermosa, and stay for the peace of our little slice of paradise.
