Kid-friendly vacation rentals in Bahía Ballena

Amazing place to stay! It was right off the main road in Uvita. Just down the road from the beach. It is also right across the street from a super market and pharmacy. Matched the pictures and descriptions perfectly. We had some issues come up along the way and the hosts were quick to respond and solve the situations. They also gave us a little booklet of recommendations including restaurants and things to do. I could not recommend coming here more!

Eric was a wonderful host! His home is beautiful and our family especially enjoyed the beautiful pool which was always inviting after a long day of adventure. We will definitely book with Eric again when we visit Uvita in the future.

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.

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!

From the moment we arrived, this home had such a beautiful, welcoming, home-y feeling. It’s located in a fantastic area—surrounded by great restaurants and plenty of things to do. The pool was warm, clean, and incredibly refreshing—perfect for relaxing after a day out. The host was amazing! She went above and beyond, offering personalized restaurant recommendations (we tried several and loved them) and sharing tons of helpful details about local excursions and activities. She even offered to help us book them! While we only had time for the 90-minute massage (which was wonderful), we could tell she really knows her stuff and is passionate about making her guests’ stay unforgettable. Highly recommend this spot for anyone looking for a relaxing, well-located getaway with an exceptional host. We’d definitely stay again! 🌴✨

As a family of 4 with 2 little ones (5 and 2) it was a perfect place to stay. The house feels very homey, and I loved the setup, perfect for a beach holiday house! It's close to Marino Ballena (beautiful beach), the supermarket and easy to travel and visit around.

Beautiful and spacious Unit just as described. You can walk to nearby restaurants! We absolutely enjoyed our stay here!

Phenomenal property, beautiful, private, secure. We spent a lot of time in the great pool. Well appointed with every we needed. Expensive by Costa Rican standards but well worth it!

Nice place, great view, excellent privacy, quiet, I would stay at the place again. They had everything we occupied for the stay.

I couldn’t be happier with this Airbnb!! My husband and I booked Brian & Karla’s Casita for a week to enjoy our honeymoon. I wish we’d booked it even longer. This place has a way of making you feel completely unplugged from society, all the while being as modern as it gets. Pictures don’t do it justice! The wrap around balcony was perfect for evening sunsets, and the inside of the Casita was a perfect place to relax after adventuring Costa Rica. The Casita is a short drive down the mountain to Dominical, which has tons of local restaurants - Brian’s recommendations were spot on! You are also super close to Nuayaca Waterfalls, Uvita, and Manuel Antonio! Brian is an amazing host and quickly responded whenever we had questions. Him and his wife even made us dinner one night. We highly recommend this airbnb and we would book at Brian’s 1000x over! Pura Vida

This isn’t the fanciest place but a good place if you want to simply rest. Good price for what it is!

this place was amazing, little private spot, the outdoor shower was a plus

Great place to stay. A/C worked great. Neighbors have friendly dogs. Still puppies. There’s also a cat outside very friendly. Easy place to get in and out.

The hostess is very friendly and communicative. A beautiful place, a great view of the sea, very tidy, clean, very quiet, beautiful nature.

Our stay at this property was absolutely incredible, with a breathtaking view! The room was clean, beautifully decorated, and well-equipped. The concierge was welcoming, and we appreciated for a hot shower and fresh towels. The pool area was stunning and well-maintained.However, there are a few areas that could be improved. It good to have coffee or tea for guest, and we were surprised to find there was no iron. Additionally, some house rules were unexpected, such as the prohibition on drones and no BBQs, despite them being shown in the photos. Although the balcony is shared with other guests, we were fortunate to have it mostly to ourselves. The bar chairs on the balcony were not very comfortable, and there was only one patio chair for the two of us. We also felt a bit uncomfortable with the presence of several cameras on the property, including one right of our apartment. Despite these minor issues, our overall experience was fantastic! We would definitely stay again!

Great AirBnB room in a hotel complex. Very great and large balcony with great views over the garden and the sea. In the middle of animals and wonderful vegetation. Great hotel trails and very nice pool area. Very good food and friendly staff. Very quick response to questions and very helpful hints. Highly recommended !

Good value, and helpful host. Would stay again

An excellent place, I loved the privacy of the place, highly recommended, the host was very attentive, very well equipped, we would love to return!

This place was absolutely amazing. It exceeded all of our expectations. It was very clean and the location was super close to restaurants, the beach, the little town, and waterfalls. Each morning, we grabbed coffee and sat out on the porch, listening to the howler monkeys and watching all the birds. I couldn't wait to get up every morning to do that!! It is in a complex, but the neighbors were super friendly, the pool was always available and absolutely beautiful to look at, walk out to and take a dip to cool off. It was a wonderful place to return to after a day out for complete relaxation.

Diana’s place was absolutely amazing. Pictures do not do it justice. The views were incredible in the morning with all the glass windows. Diana was the Most helpful host we have had, giving us extra blankets, binoculars for the kids, and beach chairs and toys. U will not regret this stay! Cant wait to come stay again.

I came for a yoga and meditation retreat. This was the perfect 1 bedroom home to base myself, kitchen to cook each day, nice hill to go for morning walking and hikes, large lounge and balcony to practice my morning yoga. Good internet to do my work at the computer. Good air conditioning to keep cool when in the house. Lizzet was always responsive and helpful. High recommend.

I had a wonderful , comfortable stay here. I highly recommend this place. I booked last-minute and Jaime was promptly responsive. Easy self-check-in, with clear instructions. Everything was perfect, I had everything I needed. Great cozy bed, covered secure parking inside a gate, nice little pool, great spacious deck. I can’t say enough good things about this space.

This was the perfect location for being surrounded by nature while being close to the beach and conveniences of town. Joe’s place was clean and comfortable. The view is spectacular. Definitely will be back.

Second time I stay and just remain in love, a beautiful place, tidy and very clean, very friendly staff and very attentive
