BEACH FRONT HOUSE 50mts from the water. PUNTA UVA ARRECIFE

What an amazing bit of heaven. The home is located on a large tropical lot filled with almond, coconut, banana, and other impressive trees. It feels pretty secluded and we were fortunate to have visiting animals like sloths, monkeys, agouti, great green macaws, and toucans. Caretakers Alvaro and Sue live in a small house behind the main home that we stayed in. I personally liked having them nearby as they are friendly and helpful while also respecting the privacy of guests. Alvaro and his son left us young coconuts to drink from twice during our stay - what a treat! And, you are directly in front of such a beautiful tropical beach. We enjoyed not having to haul sunscreen and backup drinks from the house to the shore as these items were just steps away. The AC and WIFI worked well. Note that just the bedrooms are air conditioned. The kitchen, dining, and family gathering spaces are not climate controlled but have fans running to keep cool. We visited the last week of July into early August and enjoyed perfect weather - mid 80s during the day and mostly sunny. Rains came at night while we were sleeping. Just down the street is a restaurant you can walk to that has good food and cocktails. Can't recommend this home enough.

So perfect! We are two families and some friends. We were 8 at one point. 6 most of the time. The house fit perfectly. Three very comfortable bedrooms each with its own bathroom and very welcome air conditioning. Upstairs open air couch desk and hammock. Downstairs open aire kitchen and living space with large dining table. We did most of our own cooking. Wonderful grocery stores very close. Su and Alvaro live in the back with there kids and they were so helpful. Cleaned the house about every 3 days and did laundry! On the property we say howler monkeys, Green Macaws and iguanas.The beach was steps from the property. Every morning we made coffee and sat on beach. The beach was quite all week and fun in the weekend. There's a wonderful little restaurant, La Serena, steps from the property and a bar with Salsa Lessons and lots of fun in the weekend just a few steps farther. Even on the party nights everyone was pretty much done by 8pm. Short drive to whatever you need. Needed to go the health clinic once. It was perfect. We wanted for nothing.

Great location with lots of wildlife and directly across from the beach. Pleasantly surprised with AC in each room. The space worked perfectly for 7 adults. There are no self service laundry on site however the host offers the property manager to wash your clothes. The stay overall was great. The last night stayed the racoons kept us up most of the night and even tried getting in our bathroom.

This house is the perfect location for a beach vacation in Punta Uva. Check-in was a breeze but it helps to know there is a sign at the property with its name (ask the owner for it). There are a lot of restaurants in the area with plenty of transportation options. Check out the Jaguar rescue nearby (note: there are no jaguars there but plenty of other animals to learn about). We enjoyed having AC in the lower bedroom and hanging out on the upper balcony watching wildlife. Su and Alvaro were excellent hosts and helped us with a variety of needs. We can't want to come back. Just perfect.

Good Stay Álvaro and Sue were very sweet people and were quick to help us with anything we needed. The backyard had so much wildlife even more than when we visited the cahuita national park. The location is good because it’s far from puerto viejo (which is not a cute town) and a 30 second walk to the beach, but not very close to the grocery store if you don’t have a car. Some suggestions: The kitchen lacks some cooking basics (spices, containers, few cooking utensils). Downstairs has air conditioning but upstairs gets fairly hot since they just have a ceiling fan.

Beautiful home perfect beachfront location Juan's home and our stay in Punta Uva was the best part of our entire trip in Costa Rica. It is directly across from a beautiful golden sand beach, quick walk to restaurants and a gelato truck, very short driving or biking distance to grocery stores. So convenient to the buzz of Puerto Viejo but far enough to feel more peaceful. So many beautiful flowers and wildlife on the property, clean modern home with perfect indoor/outdoor living. Plenty of seating room for our group of 8 (4 adults, 4 kids) and comfortable beds and private baths for everyone. The home is exactly as pictured but it's even more beautiful than it looks. Juan was very communicative and Su and Alvaro incredibly helpful and welcoming onsite. The kitchen is well equipped for cooking (even a blender for smoothies with local tropical fruits!) and we were thankful to be able to do some laundry onsite too. Can't recommend it highly enough and really hope to return someday!
