Amazing Whitewater View Of The Ballena Marine Preserve Islands

Amazing Whitewater View Of The Ballena Marine Preserve Islands

8/10 Good
"We had a magical time here! The view is breathtaking - we spent most of our time soaking it in from the porch and the pool. I could spend all day watching hundreds of birds from the porch - scarlet macaws, toucans, parrots, parakeets, caracaras, and so many more. The house is conveniently located close to town and the Marino Ballena beaches. It's a short drive off the highway which saves a lot of driving time. It also means that you can hear traffic noise, which we weren't expecting. Other than that, the place was fantastic. The owner Mark is very helpful and made great recommendations for guides, restaurants, and hikes. We loved our time in Uvita!"
