House vacation rentals in Bahía Ballena

Loved Shelley’s place, totally recommended, safe, clean, owner was very responsive. There are lots of restaurants near by, had a blast walking on the beach, which is very close, could walk if wanted to. It was our daughter Bday, we asked Natasha to leave a Bday card and she did..As they say here in CR, Pura Vida!!!

Tony was kind enough to come and find us after we got lost! Super attentive in the details and the place was great!

This home was beautiful, and the view unmatched! Oscar was so responsive and helpful with our very many requests. He gave local recommendations and booked anything we needed, even on short notice. It felt like our home away from home. We would definitely stay at this house again when we are back in town.

The surroundings were gorgeous and peaceful with an amazing view! Very nice place and responsive, friendly host!

Wow!10/10…. Beatas place has been the best place we have stayed in. Not only is the design beautiful but also extremely clean and spacious. Beata is also very detailed and reached out prior to arriving to ask if a crib is needed since I was traveling with my 1 year old, very thoughtful of her, as offer the crib and fresh blankets for baby were there as soon as we arrived. I can’t say much about the area as we were in town for a wedding and all activities were planned ahead of time, but we did appreciate the closeness of many restaurants and stores, we also got to go to the farmers market on Saturday morning which was great to see. Will definitely like to come back and do a humpback whale tour when their in season and baby is older to witness.

Stuart’s place was an ideal location for a private and peaceful getaway. The property itself had great amenities - especially the pool and the surrounding landscape. It was centrally located to bars, restaurants and beaches in Uvita and two neighboring towns - but far enough away to feel like we were in the middle of the jungle. Stuart was a great host. His place definitely made our vacation!

We had a fantastic stay in this beautiful house. The bedrooms were comfortable, private, and ideal for relaxation, while the spacious common areas and kitchen were perfect for family time. The serene setting, with morning visits from birds, added to the peaceful ambiance. The BBQ area and open-view showers were great features, though the early morning light might be an issue for late sleepers (although this was not a problem for us). The location was excellent—close to the town and national park. Despite some minor issues, like no cable for a football game it was resolved as internet was quite good, the house was exceptional and highly recommended for a peaceful and family-friendly getaway!

This place is amazing! We went for our honeymoon! What an adventure. The house is up the mountain where you feel like you’re in the middle of the rainforest with lots of wildlife but it’s also convenient to grocery’s restaurants and shopping. We simply did not want to leave! The indoor outdoor shower is private for those who don’t want to be seen but also giving that showering outside feeling with the sounds of the wildlife and rain. House was immaculate and host was very generous with recommendations. Tv internet air conditioning hot water and a backup system in the event power goes out. Amazing stay! Want to come again

We found the location great: a small convenience store close by, good Mexican restaurant two blocks and beach four blocks away. Further: view restaurants 15-20’ in both directions; life-changing sanctuaries (Alturas) and wildlife preserves (Sierpe! Playa Tortuga!) 30-60’. Variety of surfing beaches from a walk to a drive away. Great couple renting boards right at the beach entrance so no need to carry them home. We loved the outdoor shower and especially the pool, heaven on a hot day or after a warm walk or hike. We loved taking an early morning “nature walk” to see monkeys and birds as they wake and look for breakfast. Real treats: Cherrie’s Tanagers, Morpho butterflies and especially the Howlers coming through the corridor next door at 4:45am. Tropical thunderstorms with frogs calling, enjoyed from the shelter of the terrace with lightning all around, rain splashing in the pool. The local Mercado with fabulous yogurt and smoothies, fruit and bread, Wed/Sat. House a sanctuary!

Excellent, I just suggest that the checkout be a little later.

Thank you to the hosts for creating a true paradise, this stay went above and beyond anything I had envisioned. My daughter and I felt at home the moment we arrived. The view of the ocean absolutely blew us away, and the peaceful jungle setting made it even more magical. We felt completely safe and private the entire time, which let us fully relax and enjoy every moment. This was more than a vacation rental, it felt like a retreat. We’ll never forget it. And one last thing, we HIGHLY recommend the tiramisu from Potz Bistro just down the road.

Gabriela was an amazing host. She was responsive to our needs and super friendly. The house was spotless and really well equipped. We made very good use of the pool and excellent kitchen! The bedrooms were spacious and private. The house is at the end of a gravel road in an area that looks to have new development. When we stayed there was some light construction happening at 2 neighbour houses. There are a couple of shops within a 5-10 min walk, and an entrance to the national park beach 10 min or so walk away. You have to pay for the beach in the national park but well worth it as the beach is beautiful and clean.

We were at Chamana's house for a weekend and the stay couldn't have been better, The house has all the amenities and an unbeatable location, a short walk from the beach. Naty, our host, was excellent with 5-star service, very kind and super friendly. I definitely recommend this house. Thank you Naty, we hope to be able to return soon. Pura Vida!

This was an amazing experience! The villa was well equipped and very beautiful. The location was amazing as well, in the middle of nature but still close (less than 10min drive) to Uvita itself. We also saw tucans and monkeys from our balcony. We would defenitily recommend this!

Where do we begin? Our stay went beyond expectations. We had a party of 5 private individuals and we each had our own place to sleep and relax. The pool, indoor and outdoor kitchens, and entire outdoor spaces were fantastic for enjoying one another also. The waterfall, creek, vegetation, and animals provided a truly Costa Rican experience! A resident sloth, some howler monkeys, coaties, iguanas, and agouties were some of the wildlife we experienced. Restaurants, shopping, zip lining, water activities are less than a mile away. Landon provided an abundance of information regarding all the activities Uvita and the surrounding area have to offer. We stayed 10 days and the complimentary cleaning mid week was greatly appreciated! Costa Rico stole our hearts and our amazing accommodations made it very difficult to leave.

A perfect place to share with family. Everything is super quiet, surrounded by nature, and with that rich sound of the forest that makes you disconnect. The house is comfortable and the kitchen was very well equipped, it had everything we needed. We feel very comfortable!

This is a beautiful house with total privacy. We saw several birds species at the house and walking through the neighborhood. It’s a short drive into Uvita and there are several restaurants to choose from. It’s also close to Arco Beach, Whale Tail, and Catarata Uvita. We would definitely recommend this place to our friends.

Just wow! Best Airbnb I've ever stayed at. The view was stunning, the home was clean. I wanted to be away from people and surrounded by nature, that's what I got. You absolutely need a 4x4 to get up the mountain but the drive wasn't as daunting as it sounded. The owners & property managers were so kind and communicated quickly and crystal clear. My gf and I went during green season so a storm brought wifi go down but someone updated before I realized what happened. Rainy weather is our favourite and we really experienced the best of both worlds with sun in the mornings, and throughout the day depending on where you were down the mountain, with rain and thunderstorms in the evening/early night. We saw coatis (their version of a raccoon, according to Jorge who was super nice), toucans, other really neat, colourful birds, and on our last morning a blue Morpho butterfly! It was a magical experience, no complaints. Oh, visit the butterfly garden & waterfall on the way up the mountain!

Wonderful place to stay. The location was perfect. Close to everything, restaurants, shopping and of course the beach. Neff was very responsive when asked questions. Gave great recommendations for restaurants. The bed and furniture were extremely comfortable. And the best thing was the pool. We used it every day rain or shine. Will hopefully be back soon!!

What a delightful spot! So perfect for a small family! I had my own master suite and my son had his on the other side of the outdoor kitchen. My son loved the privacy.

From the moment we decided to stay at this property, Ingrid was very accessible to answer all of our questions, at all times. She was very quick to respond. The property itself is gorgeous! The property is beautiful with a lovely kitchen, dining, and living room. Everything was very modern and pristine. Outside the sitting area made for a nice retreat after a long day. The pool is gorgeous along with the grounds, filled with pretty flowers. The bedrooms were all very well done and the beds were so cozy along with the pillows. The master bedroom and bath were incredible. Lots of shelf space. The shower wonderful. It is in a very good area with several restaurants a short walk away. It’s close to the Uvita Falls and butterfly Arboretum./restaurant. There are so many wonderful restaurants in the area. We opted mostly for Chef Haywirth to prepare our breakfast and some dinners.. he’s incredible! All meals were delicious! I highly recommend Casa Maloha in Uvita!

Great stay in Costa Rica! Carlos was an amazing and attentive host, especially to take time out & give us a tour of the waterfall nearby.

Beautiful accommodation and extremely clean with a fully stocked kitchen. The host is very responsive and hospitable . Thank you for the hospitality and generosity

A wonderful house. 3 bedrooms with 3 bathrooms, all located by the pool. With small children, it is a little more careful because of the swimming pool. Kitchen is provided with everything you might need. Bathrooms are beautiful and equipped with shampoo. Pool is wonderful!!
