The Costa Rican getaway of your dreams awaits at this incredible tropical jungle home. Nestled in a verdant mountain range overlooking the Pacific Ocean, this luxurious rental opens right up into the tops of the trees, providing spectacular views from every point in the house. Whether you're soaking in the outdoor pool, fixing a mojito in the kitchen, or relaxing on the wraparound deck, you'll be greeted by ocean breezes and the pristine natural beauty of Central America at every turn.

This home is tucked away a short drive from the picturesque village of Uvita and overlooks the hills and beaches of Marino Ballena National Park. The park is home to almost 10 miles of pristine beaches, including the world-famous Whale's Tail, an enormous sandbar that stretches out into the water and surfaces in the shape of a whale's tail at low tide. (You might actually spot some real whales too!) You'll also find great snorkeling and surfing, and the jungle around the home is filled with picture-perfect waterfalls.

This first-class home allows you to experience the best of Costa Rica in comfort and privacy. Designed with an open floor plan, the full kitchen and living room are lined with windows with panoramic views of the jungle and ocean, which fold open accordion-style to allow the breeze and sounds of the jungle to waft through. Outside, a well-furnished wraparound deck juts out into the forest canopy. Bask in the views and the warm air as you relax in the private pool, suntan on the lounge chairs, or sip your morning coffee at the handcrafted wooden table. There's even an outdoor bathtub made from carved rock for a truly luxurious soak. Combining elegance, comfort, and an unbeatable location, this spectacular rental is guaranteed to take your Costa Rican vacation to another level. Book your reservation today!

Amazing Jungle Vibes but read EVERYTHING!
Let me start off by saying that this house was AMAZING! This property would have got a 10/10 but there was a few things that made me go lower. 1. The picture directions were slightly confusing and should have some words explaining in detail depending on which direction your traveling from. 2. We were told that a crib/pack & play would be provided but it never came. 3. The internet went off for an extended period of time which was frustrating but it did give the family time to enjoy and play Jenga! It’s high in the mountains so we expected to lose connection at some point. 4. The unit was Burning hot when we arrived. We wished that someone at least turned on the fans before our arrival. Ac’s weren’t cutting on because of the breakers so we had to wait about 45 mins for the maintenance guy. This was extremely annoying especially after a 3.5 hour drive to the location. 5. The patio deck has some loose pieces so it was a bit nerve wrecking 6. The pool was dirty and didn’t get cleaned until our last day at the unit. But the beauty of the location made up for everything. LISTEN! The views of the beach, jungle, sunrise and sunset was absolutely AMAZING! If your visiting Costa Rica and you want to witness the true beauty; book this place. We took so many pictures and videos. The pictures don’t even do it justice. You must see this for yourself. Even when it poured rain, the views and sounds were everything you could imagine. This is a lovely property indeed!

Fabulous home with ocean and jungle views.
Beautiful home with patio for a gorgeous ocean/sunset view and another well-furnished and comfortable patio with a jungle view. Open-air with great breezes to keep a very comfortable temperature. Well-appointed and clean. Beautiful landscaping. The outdoor tub was heavenly. Nice pool, as well.

Excellent property in the jungle
This is a beautiful property with gorgeous views of the ocean and surrounding jungle. The house is fairly new and in great condition. Air conditioning works great for each bedroom, but is not present in the main common area. The house has accordion doors on 3 sides of the common area, which provide great indoor/outdoor flow. I do not recommend using these in the evenings or at night due to the bugs. The surrounding property is beautiful and well kept. The outdoor tub is incredible. The location is excellent, with nearby access to Uvita and several grocery stores. A 4x4 is definitely necessary to access.

Great but be prepared to unplug!
Had a great stay here. Soooo beautiful and clean. The outside tub was a highlight for my whole group and the beds were really comfy. We saw dart frogs out back and heard howler monkeys from the porch. Had a bit of an issue with the door code and the gate code being mixed up on the email but was able to contact the property manager, they were quick to respond. We also had an issue with the power going out here and there but it’s the jungle sooooo it is what it is. On our last day and night the Wi-Fi went out as well which was frustrating but kinda of great because it forced us to unplug. My friends loved the place and would recommend. 4 wheel drive is a must! Roads are steep but still safe even in the rain.

The most incredible house we've stayed in
We spent 3 weeks in Costa Rica staying in multiple locations and houses. This house is not just the most amazing we've stayed in the country, but also overall with Vrbo. Hidden in the Uvita mountains, going to the house itself is an experience (4x4 really came in handy). Absolutely beautiful house from the outside with a nice pool (though a bit on the colder side). Totally clean inside and out, very modern rooms, outside bath. All in the middle of the jungle with only a couple of lizards inside. If we ever go back to Costa Rica, we'll likely spend the whole stay here.

Fun Jungle Getaway!
We had an amazing time in this beautiful home! We enjoyed the sunsets every night, saw many different kinds of birds including toucans, swam in the pool each day, and enjoyed the views from all around the house. Just to note there are only air conditioners in the bedrooms, which was fine for us since we spent most of the day out adventuring or in the pool. Construction mentioned in a previous review was still happening (wasn't bothersome but did begin by 6am on the weekdays). Waze originally took us on a different road coming from Uvita but if you follow directions given, you'll find it easily! The road is definitely a mountain road - we typically only went down into town once a day and brought dinner back with us so we wouldn't have to drive in the dark. Truly a magical experience staying here!

Amazing location
The views are spectacular. The outdoor tub was amazing. The house is awesome. So much wildlife. A few minor items to be aware of…. Not deal breakers but definitely worth noting…. 1. Half of the deck boards are rotten and covered in ants making only a portion of the decks really usable. 2. The road in to the property is a bit challenging, 4x4 is really helpful. Overall it wasn’t to bad except the night that they were grading the road and decided to just stop for the evening and leave 12+ inches of gravel/fill ungraded or packed, nearly impossible for even a 4x4 suv to get through. 3. Neighboring construction… totally understandable that other properties can be under construction but just be aware that construction time in Costa Rica can start as early as 5:30 am and they do work on Saturdays. 4. One night the gate was broken and just stayed open, not a huge deal and they fixed it the next day.

Spectacular is an understatement
This was our second stay in this magnificent home. Whoever designed this house deserves an award... covered balconies with wooden ceilings and fans all around the perimeter, beautiful hardwood furniture throughout, rocking chairs, places to sit and dine together, quiet nooks for privacy... can't decide which seating area is our favorite! There are breathtaking views of the rainforest from every vantage point. You feel like you're in a treehouse. Open the walls of windows/doors and take in the lush foliage, flowers, and wildlife, not to mention ocean views. Animal sightings every single day. During our last stay we saw aracaris, toucans, crested guans, a poison dart frog, howler monkeys, morpho and owl butterflies (and many others), a laughing falcon, a king vulture, turkey vultures, hummingbirds, geckos, dragonflies, many other colorful insects. The house is just a short drive to some of the best beaches we've ever experienced, as well as a variety of restaurants in Uvita, the cute town of Dominical, and much more. Casa Vista Verde is a magical place.

Family get away
We had a couple of issues... the hot water is limited... so much so that there is no way to fill that beautiful tub in the garden off the master. The listing and the book that comes with the house lists cable TV as one of the amenities but there is no cable... no cable box (es) either. Not a huge issue for us but listing is misleading.
