Jungle Paradise!
My husband, one-year old daughter, and myself stayed in this beautiful home for five weeks. The home is exactly as described, if not better. We have stayed in many VRBOs and this is by far the most well appointed home we've ever rented. We cooked almost every day; the appliances are stellar and we wanted for nothing in terms of utensils and cookware. The bedrooms all have firm, nice beds and the air conditioning units work extremely well.
Now for the fun part...if you are visiting Costa Rica for wildlife then this house is your dream rental! Several times a week we saw monkeys making their way across the trees in the backyard. One afternoon as I was doing the dishes, I looked up and to my utter delight there was a sloth right in front of my eyes making his way down a tree, no binoculars required! We also saw countless birds, including toucans and hummingbirds on a weekly basis. The only animals we were not fond of were the cicadas, since they could be quite loud, but from what I was told we were there during an unusually prominent season for them.
I can't say enough good things about Melania, the home's caretaker. By the time we left, she felt like family. Our daughter caught the flu during our stay, and Melania came over with soup and Jello the same evening. Another night, we ran out of propane while cooking and within 20 minutes Melania had someone over at the house refilling the tank--problem solved. The owners Sara and Logan are also lightening quick to respond to any issues and were extremely easy and friendly to communicate with before and during our stay.
The town of Uvita is much less touristy than some other areas, but still surprisingly has more than enough stellar dining options and two good supermarkets. Also, about a five minute drive from the house is a cool hotel (Vista Ballena) that has stunning sunset views and a good bar. Our favorite beaches were Hermosa, Pinuela and Ventanas (this one has rental lounge chairs with canopy tents for around $13).
If you are contemplating visiting Costa Rica with an infant, don't hesitate. Everyone was super welcoming (even at nice restaurants) of our daughter and we felt totally safe everywhere we went with her. I would not hesitate to stay at this VRBO again. I'm already missing the wonderful weather and daily sense of adventure we felt during our time here. Thank you!!!
