House vacation rentals in Bahía Ballena

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.

This place was incredible! Finding the house was a breeze due to Chris’s instructions. We were able to find it without any issues even in the dark. The house itself was the perfect size, had everything we needed, was clean, and had a beautiful atmosphere. There’s no AC but it honestly wasn’t an issue at all, there are plenty of fans to keep cool and the windows can be opened for fresh air. We also really enjoyed the outdoor setting, we spent a good amount of time on the back deck and in the pool. There was some cool wildlife to see around the house too! I have absolutely nothing poor to say about this place and would highly recommend!! Chris was very responsive and helped with any questions/concerns we had. If we were to ever travel back to Costa Rica, I wouldn’t hesitate to come back to this place!

Had a great time! Was the perfect place for our family to spend a couple of days. Close to restaurants and the National Parque Ballena Marina.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Fantastic, home,host,town,views,wildlife sightings, hands down one of the best locations we’ve ever stayed. Secluded but still plenty to do. Book this- you will not be disappointed. Enjoyed the adventure, and we highly recommend. Pictures are great but everything is even better in person. The house has everything you need! Plus more! -Pura Vida

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

Excellent option. Place is like new. How is very responsive.

Wonderful stay to end our two-month trip through Costa Rica! We felt at home from the very beginning in this fantastic accommodation. Everything was spotless, and the kitchen was perfectly equipped with everything you might need. There was also a very helpful booklet full of restaurant recommendations and activity tips — all well described. The pool was amazing, with lots of pool toys that made our kids really happy. The house has a new washing machine and dryer — not something you find everywhere in Costa Rica. Our clothes finally felt truly clean again! Richard, the host, was extremely helpful and always responded quickly to any questions we had. All in all, a perfect place to stay — especially recommended for families. We would come back any time!

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!

The stay was just great. We felt very comfortable and enjoyed the time. We especially enjoyed the pool and it was a great refreshment after the long and warm days. Desire was available at all times and very helpful. Best regards, Laura & Martin

Amazing designer house ! With incredible view ! House is breathtaking! Thank you for having us

Pura Vida - Great host and location. Walkable to the beach and several restaurants. Calm oasis in the back yard, where we could see Tucans, howler monkeys and an array of birds! Host is very responsive and we also appreciated having air conditioning as well as a washer / dryer. Uvita is a great place to visit with a ton of fun activities, and having the small pool onsite was really nice to escape the hot midday sun. The full kitchen is also a bonus. Modern, easy - with good WiFi and a good host. The howler moneys did wake us up in the morning, but that was actually pretty cool alarm clock - although they sounded like a sick dog!!! We stayed at 3 places, all of which said you’d see moneys, never saw any and we saw them all from the comfort of the shaded porch here.

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!

The views from the top of the mountains is well worth it. The evening time brought a nice cloud forest loved it. The ride to the property I recommend a 4x4 vehicle because once you turn off the Main Street it’s uphill and dirt roads that go up into the mountains and gives it a more explore style feel. Hands down I loved the property Mr Alberto was very responsive.

We had an amazing time at Cindy's home. It is perfect for two couples or a family. Convenient location with a great pool. We will definitely return. Thank you Cindy :)

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.

Loved how spacious the place is, really nice garden view and peaceful. Hosts are responsive and flexible! There are restaurants and supermarkets all within a few minutes drive and it's just 20 mins to dominical. Really enjoyed our stay there.

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!!

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!

I can’t say enough about this place! What a beautiful experience. If you want to be completely surrounded by nature in a modern home with an amazing view, this is your place. We were visited by toucans every morning outside the bedroom window and saw a number of different beautiful birds. I felt like I was in the tree tops with them. What a spectacular view! We also saw many white-nosed coati, a heard of peccary with babies, a deer and a group of capuchin monkeys passing by. The house was extremely clean and felt very comfortable. The host was very quick to respond with any questions we had. The drive up to the house is an experience! Make sure to arrive during daylight if possible. A 4x4 is 100% required! Half way up the hill is an adorable group of restaurants and a little market. We had a great dinner at Scala and breakfast at Sibu. Very convenient and highly recommend! Pool was very clean and a nice way to unwind at the end of the day! I would definitely stay here again!!!

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!

Absolutely loved our stay! Smooth check-in/communication with Erika; she also gave great local recommendations. The location was perfect: private, quiet, with wonderful jungle sounds and mountain views. The beautiful, well-maintained garden was managed by Rolbin, the friendly gardener. He brought fresh fruit and gave us tours of the property's trails (waterfall/river included). The kitchen was incredibly well-equipped, from a citrus press, moka pot, to an ice cream maker – we genuinely missed nothing. Clean spring tap water was a huge bonus; it remained functional even during power outages (mechanical system). We often didn't notice brief outages as we still had water and cooked on the gas stove! Internet (~40-80 Mbps) was surprisingly fast, allowing to get work done. We miss falling asleep to jungle sounds! If you're looking for peace, comfort, and unique amenities in a beautiful setting, this is the place.

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!

Had a wonderful time in Uvita. The place had everything we needed to feel comfortable and relaxed. They thought of everything.

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!!
