Private Jungle Villa w/ Pool + Ocean Views, Uvita

Breathtaking views. Elevated comfort. Unmatched location.

Welcome to Casa La Vista, your private jungle retreat perched above Uvita. This Costa Rica vacation home with a view offers a perfect blend of serenity and adventure, featuring a private ocean-view pool, A/C in bedrooms only, and close proximity to beaches, waterfalls, and vibrant town life.

NOTE: A 4x4 vehicle is required for the steep driveway and recommended for exploring more of the Southern Zone.

Surrounded by lush rainforest and abundant wildlife, Casa La Vista is ideal for families, couples, or remote workers seeking a villa that feels both peaceful and well-connected. Watch toucans and howler monkeys from the deck, relax with coastal breezes, and reach town in minutes for surf, dining, or local shopping.

At Casa La Vista, you’ll find three comfortable bedrooms:
- Two on the main floor: one with a queen bed, the other with two twins with shared full bathroom
- A king-bed master suite upstairs with vaulted ceilings, walk-in shower, dual sinks, and ocean views

The airy, open-concept living space includes:
- A fully equipped kitchen
- Smart TV for downtime
- Floor-to-ceiling windows offering breathtaking jungle and ocean vistas
- In-home laundry

Step outside to your private pool overlooking Caño Island and the Pacific Ocean. Dine al fresco, fire up the grill, or sip your morning coffee on the observation deck completely immersed in nature.

Explore Uvita & Beyond

You’re minutes from top local attractions:
- Whale watching at Marino Ballena National Park
- Surf lessons at Playa Colonia or Playa Hermosa
- Hidden waterfalls in and near Uvita - some just a short drive away
- Sea caves and snorkeling at Playa Ventanas
- Mangrove kayaking, jungle night hikes, and zipline adventures

Make the most of your trip by exploring:
- Dominical (20 mins): surf town with live music, yoga, spas, and beach bars
- Ojochal (15 mins): renowned foodie haven near Playa Ventanas
- Manuel Antonio (40 mins): iconic national park, white sand beaches, and water sports

Not only was this house breathtaking, with the infinity pool, outdoor spaces, and a super open main floor plan, but the host and management team did an incredible job preparing us for the trip, and helping us make fun activity and terrific restaurant reservations. The team was very, very responsive, and was constantly checking in to see how we were getting along during our week-long stay. The drive up to the house, as mentioned by others, requires a 4x4 vehicle and a strong constitution, but the payoff once you arrive is worth it. The location in Uvita provides easy access to so many fun activities within a small driving distance. We can't recommend this experience any more. We loved it.
