New pool-Jungle-5 min to Uvita-shopping-Beaches.

Enjoy the "NEW" Honu Iki Casita

This wonderful two-bedroom home located in the jungle hills of Uvita. Located only five minutes from restaurants/shops of Uvita, 15 minutes to beaches and the world famous Whales Tail/Ballena National Park, but nestled in the jungle. Beaches throughout the area!

Patio: Howler monkey, toucan, macaws often seen

The home's open floor plan, and floor to ceiling windows, allows plenty of natural light to illuminate the living room, kitchen and TV area

Osa Property Management’s Concierge and Vacation Planner team will contact you after you have made your reservation. We will assist with making any necessary transportation arrangements from Juan Santamaria International Airport in San Jose (SJO), or one of the local regional airports in Quepos or Palmar Sur, to property in Uvita.

We will also arrange all excursions/activities/tours with reputable companies in the area, provide a link for grocery delivery, and make reservations at any restaurant. Our goal is to make your trip to Costa Rica enjoyable and as relaxing as you want it to be.


Uvita is one of the Central Pacific's best kept secrets. The beaches are beautiful, the hills are lush, wildlife is abundant and its the perfect place to surf, horseback ride or just relax. Uvita has great restaurants (coffee shops, microbrewery, local, fine dining), grocery stores, banks and pharmacies. If you are looking for a beautiful beach destination that is far less developed than Manuel Antonio, Uvita is a fantastic alternative. The highlight is Marino Ballena National Park, featuring the famous sandy "Whale Tail" where migrating humpback whales can be seen just offshore. You can whale watch, dolphin watch or snorkel.

Uvita also makes a great base for exploring Dominical (12 miles North) which is a fun, funky hippie and counterculturist enclave with great shops, dining, live music, candlelight yoga, spas, bars and beach. The tiny town of Ojochal is 9 miles to the South and is known as one of the best foodie town in Costa Rica. Ojochal also offers easy access to Playa Ventanas, a small and beautiful beach famous for its sea caves.

For those who enjoy golfing, the southern pacific’s only golf course, Osa Golf Course, is an easy 25 minute drive south.

The property is accessible anytime after 3 pm on the day of check-in. Guests will receive their custom PIN access code to the door approximately 48 hours prior to arrival.

Amazing place

We've stayed at a lot of VRBO residences and this might have been the best of them all. It's legit that you're truly immersed in the middle of the rainforest - secluded and so peaceful. Just be sure to pay attention to the need for a 4x4 vehicle. That's very legit. But if you have one, you'll be fine. Thanks to the hosts for a great experience!

Excellent 30th Birthday Trip

I went here for my 30th birthday with three other friends and thoroughly enjoyed the stay. The house was extremely comfortable and we enjoyed sitting on the porch every morning enjoying coffee watching the wildlife. We saw macaws, monkeys, and many more critters. Check in and check out was extremely easy and the host was great at communication. Ten out of ten stay and we would love to come back some day!

Unique

You must have a four-wheel-drive to get to it and it is very difficult to locate! Once you are there, it’s a nice place to be

Perfect Jungle Home

We loved the short 4x4 jungle adventure driving to and from the home into Uvita. Daily Monkey sightings, tucans, Frogs and other birds was a bonus. Home was clean and bug free. Close to everything that we needed/wanted.

Perfect house in jungle, Highly Recommend!

Best parts of the house: Jungle adventure driving to and from the property. The full wall of windows and porch gives spectacular views of the trees. Morning wake up calls from the howler monkeys. Lack of bugs in the home :) very clean Isolation, far enough away from the city to v be avoid all noise and passers by but close enough to have everything you need within 10 minutes. Variety of wildlife seen from the house/porch. Howler monkeys, Spider monkeys, Agouti, frogs and toads, Toucans, and other birds.
