Great Stay in a Great Area
The property was beautiful. It was in a great area with many places to eat along with many excursions to do less than 10 minutes away. The view from the pool was awesome! We saw lots of wildlife from the comfort of the pool.

Beautiful house with an amazing view!
We loved our stay at this beautiful home! The house was equipped with everything we needed from plenty of bath and beach towels to a fully stocked kitchen and even a cooler to take to the beach. And, the house was VERY clean! We enjoyed having the pool right on the deck and loved the view from the deck. A pair of Toucans made that house their place to visit daily, which was very entertaining for us. We also saw Macaws daily and monkeys in the distant trees. Natasha, the property manager was so attentive and helped us with everything we needed, including securing us beach chairs and umbrella rentals at Playa Hermosa. The location is great because you feel a part of the rainforest, but can still see the ocean off in the distance. It would have been nice to be able to walk to the local restaurants, but you will have to drive from the house to get to town. It's not far, but the road is very steep to get to the house. I would HIGHLY recommend this wonderful home to anyone who plans to visit beautiful Uvita, Costa Rica!

Beautiful setting and a great pool!
My sister and I - both 65+ - stayed here in March 2024. The house was immaculate and comfortable. There was a lot of outside patio area overlooking jungle and a slightly obscured ocean view. It was a great spot to view birds and other wildlife. Toucans, Aracaris, Scarlet Macaws and Parrots were among the many birds that perched nearby. From the covered outdoor dining area we also saw white face monkeys and an impressively large iguana in the trees. The pool was lovely - deep enough, large enough, and warm enough for us to spend a lot of time in it. The property manager, Natasha, was very responsive when we needed information from her. The one thing that wasn't clear to me before we got there that might be useful for future renters to know is that the entry is on a first floor where two of the three bedrooms and one of the bathrooms are located (along with the laundry room), while the kitchen, living area, primary bedroom, outdoor space and pool are on the second floor. So - the primary bedroom is not only much larger but also has a better view than the other two bedrooms. There is also currently no wifi on that first floor, although Natasha told us that they expect to upgrade their wifi this summer (2024) so that it will be throughout the house later this year. Overall we really enjoyed our stay at Casa La Vista and would definitely consider returning in the future!

Fantastic!!
This property is a gem! The online picture's don't do it justice, this is a beautiful secluded oasis. We saw toucan's daily, monkey's, iguana's and macaws. We were looking to get away and this place did not disappoint. Natasha was wonderful to work with and helped us with planning. She is very attentive and knowledgeable of the area. We will definitely be coming back!

Stunning!
Everything about the property was amazing! The location was perfect, the pool was amazing, the beds were extremely comfortable. Tons of wildlife - birds, monkeys, and the daily visit from the toucans. Amazing view of the pacific. I highly recommend having dinner prepared by the private chef, we had it our arrival day - it was absolutely delicious and so nice not to have to worry about figuring out dinner after a long travel day. Natasha was very responsive and great to work with. We can't wait to come back!

This house is amazing! Fantastic location - close to town, yet feels like you're alone in the jungle. Tons of wildlife - birds, monkeys, etc. The property manager (Natasha) was extremely helpful and great to work with. Our family can't wait to go back!
