Pura Uvita - Whale's Tail Ocean View, Brand new home w/ salt water infinity pool

Nestled in the mountains of Uvita with breathtaking views of the Whale’s Tail, this brand new house is surrounded by lush rainforest and is less than 2 miles away from town.

Wake up to the sound of toucans and enjoy your breakfast on the open kitchen island. Open the living room’s sliding doors to enjoy the ocean breeze and expansive ocean views. Jump into the infinity pool and soak in the beauty of Costa Rica’s southern coastline. Whatever you choose to do, you can’t go wrong with Pura Uvita!

------- About the Property --------

We fell in love with the location as soon as we saw the view. We had been looking for properties all over Costa Rica, and when we found this one, we immediately knew this was it. The beauty of the Osa peninsula is breathtaking and there are no words for describing how relaxing it is to be able to look right down at the whale’s tail from the comfort of your home all while in the middle of the rainforest. If you are looking for a true Costa Rican green-lush rainforest experience, the Osa peninsula is definitely the place to go.

The house was designed with a modern/industrial feel and boasts modern concrete and local wood finishes throughout. The two cedar trees that were cut to make room for the house were 100% utilized for closets, doors, and cabinets. Woods from other smaller trees were used throughout the construction process as well; our goal was to minimize waste as much as possible.

We strived to create a very open floor plan which is why you’ll find ultra high ceilings and will be able to literally open up the living room into the terrace, creating a large indoor/outdoor environment and allowing air to circulate throughout the house. The design of the ceiling along with strategic fan placement help keep the house at a very comfortable temperature so A/C is not necessary (although it is available in the bedrooms).

This is a 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom size designed to comfortably fit 4 people (2 persons per room), but it can accommodate up to 2-4 additional people (there are 2 sofa beds in the living room). There is WiFi available as well as a flat screen internet-connected TV. The kitchen is stocked with all the utensils you need to cook. Linens and towels are provided as are shampoo, conditioner, and soap.

There is an infinity pool, a large terrace and a lounging deck which could also be used for yoga.

Note that due to the beauty of the area, many people are wanting to move here (or come on vacation). As a result, there may be construction going on near or around the area. Construction is now common anywhere from Escaleras all the way down through Uvita and south of Ojochal.

Wildlife Retreat
We thoroughly enjoyed our time at this lovely home. The home is beautiful. You are close to food, grocers, pharmacies and the pacific but ou are nestled in the mountain with spectacular views and lots of wildlife. You can hear the howler monkeys and coati passed through the yard. But the birds were the highlight. We were here during the mating season for one of native turkey varieties. The serenaded us on the second morning. We recorded them from the kitchen. Later, while sitting by the pool, we played it back and the birds came running through the yard singing and looking for their possible mate. We will definitely come back to the home again.

Winter escape
The pictures on line are not as beautiful as in person, a very unique property. We loved the house, area and being up in the mountains with the gentle breeze to keep you cool. The daily visit of birds and iguana to the house was a treat. Very clean and well maintained. Lauren, the property manager is wonderful.

This house was built with supreme care to the surroundings and environment and you can feel the attention to detail in everything. It was a stunningly beautiful home and the property was spectacular. It was exceptionally private aside from a friendly iguana and birds who really made the stay feel special. I loved getting a visit from them every day! I intend to return and stay here - it was a beautifully relaxing experience.

Exactly as advertised.
Spectacular property. Watching sunsets from the infinity pool was the highlight of every day. It is a very steep road to Pura Uvita but well worth the drive. House is very well equipped. We never had to use the air conditioner. Our 6th trip to Costa Rica, Uvita is our favorite area.

Beautiful property
We had a lovely time. House is simple but worked perfectly for our family of 4. Basic bag of coffee and some spices were at the house, and although we've definitely experienced better staples at other properties this wasn't enough of an inconvenience to distract. Internet worked well, and pool was fantastic. We did loose electricity a few times during the stay, but generally only briefly. Loren was fantastic, arranging a poolside couples massage for us one afternoon (highly recommend!). Only thing to keep in mind: If you don't like bugs and lizards in your space, you may want to look for something else.

Absolutely beautiful
Property was beautiful. Had amazing views of the ocean. We loved the view of the ocean , the birds, the lizards, the giant chicken, like animals that scared the hell out of us ! It Had all the amenities you would want. The only negative I think would be is that in November after like 2 o’clock in the afternoon there is full sun on the back patio where we spent most of our time, and it really would’ve been nice to have some shade.

Spectacular Views
The property was gorgeous! Well stocked with things that we needed. LOVED the bedroom armoire! Beautiful bathroom. It was exactly as advertised, pool, indoor/outdoor feel with all the glass that opens up. Enjoyed the birds and other wildlife that came to visit. The people down the mountain in the pubs, etc. were exceptionally friendly. I really minded the ride up and down but I'm a wuss. You need 4x4, no joke.
