Luxury Family Oceanview Villa 6BR • Sleeps 14 • Infinity Pool • Spa • Game Room

Welcome to your private 6,500 sq. ft. ocean-view estate in Uvita, Costa Rica — designed for families who want to vacation **together**, while still having the space and privacy everyone appreciates.

Surrounded by rainforest and overlooking the Pacific, Cielo Azul combines the scale of a private resort with the comfort of a family home — just minutes from Whale’s Tail Beach and Marino Ballena National Park.

## Made for Families | Together Without Feeling Crowded

Cielo Azul is especially well suited for **multi-generational families, two or three families traveling together, reunions, and milestone celebrations**.

* Sleeps up to 14 comfortably
* 6 private bedroom suites
* 4 King beds + 3 Queen beds
* 8 bathrooms
* Every bedroom has its own attached bathroom
* Multiple indoor and outdoor gathering areas
* Fully air-conditioned bedrooms **and common areas**
* One dining table for the entire family together

Grandparents can enjoy a quiet morning overlooking the ocean while the kids are in the pool. Everyone can gather for dinner and sunset — then retreat to their own private suite at the end of the day.

**Big enough to bring everyone. Designed so everyone still has their own space.**

## A Costa Rica Experience Kids — and Adults — Will Remember

Wildlife isn't something you have to leave the villa to find.

Cielo Azul sits along natural wildlife corridors, making animal sightings part of everyday life.

Watch scarlet macaws fly overhead at sunrise. Hear howler monkeys in the surrounding hills. Spot toucans and parrots from the deck, with iguanas and pizotes frequently visiting the property.

For children, Costa Rica becomes the backyard.

For adults, it might simply mean enjoying your morning coffee while watching the jungle wake up below you.

## The Pool, Spa & Outdoor Living — The Heart of the Villa

Much of family life at Cielo Azul happens outside.

Enjoy an infinity-edge pool overlooking the Pacific and rainforest, an oversized **14-person spa**, expansive sun decks, shaded lounge areas, and covered indoor-outdoor dining and BBQ areas.

Spend the afternoon in the pool after exploring a waterfall. Gather everyone for dinner. Watch the Pacific sunset together. Then relax in the spa under the stars.

Some of the best vacation days are the ones when nobody wants to leave the house.

## Family Meals Are Easy

The villa was designed to comfortably host a full house.

The chef-ready kitchen, three wet bars, BBQ area and large dining space make everything from casual breakfasts to celebration dinners easy.

For an especially relaxing evening, arrange a **private chef** and let someone else handle dinner while the family enjoys the pool and sunset.

## Plenty to Do Between Adventures

When you're not exploring Costa Rica:

Foosball • Darts • Poker • Chess • Backgammon

Multiple Smart TVs provide options for movies and entertainment, while fast Wi-Fi and three dedicated workspaces make it easy for anyone who needs to handle a little work or school during a longer stay.

Families with younger children also have access to a **crib, bassinet and high chair**.

## Close to Everything — Without Giving Up Privacy

Cielo Azul gives your family a private rainforest setting while keeping Uvita's beaches, restaurants and activities only minutes away.

Within approximately 5–10 minutes you'll find:

Whale’s Tail Beach • Marino Ballena National Park • Restaurants and cafés • Grocery stores and markets • Waterfalls • Beaches • Adventure activities

The surrounding area offers whale watching in season, snorkeling, scuba diving, fishing, zip-lining, ATV tours, canyoning, jungle hikes and waterfall excursions.

There is something for virtually every age and activity level — which is particularly valuable when traveling with several generations.

## Your Own Local Concierge

Planning activities for a family of 10 or 14 can quickly become a job of its own.

Our local concierge can help coordinate your stay, including:

Private chef & bartender • Airport transportation • Tours & excursions • In-villa massage • Yoga & wellness services

Services are optional and fee-based.

The goal is simple: **spend less of your vacation organizing everyone and more of it enjoying Costa Rica together.**

## Come Together in Costa Rica

The best family vacations aren't really about bedrooms or amenities. They're about having a place where everyone can be together.

Breakfast overlooking the Pacific. Kids spotting monkeys and macaws. Afternoons around the infinity pool. The entire family sharing dinner. Grandparents, parents and children watching the sunset together.

Cielo Azul was designed to make those moments easy — while giving everyone enough space to enjoy the vacation their own way.

**Bring the whole family. There’s room for everyone.**

One strategic change I particularly like here: **“For children, Costa Rica becomes the backyard.”** That is the emotional sell. VRBO parents aren't really buying 6,500 square feet—they're buying the memory of their kids and grandparents experiencing Costa Rica together.

And once the **7th bedroom** is finished (NOV-DEC), I would rewrite this again around **“7 private suites / up to 16 guests.”** That will make the multi-generational-family positioning substantially stronger.

We had the most incredible time at Whit’s property in Uvita. Really don’t have enough good things to say about the immaculate care he take of his guests. The level of thought and preparation that goes into his local recommendations is best in class. His team including his Concierge Simone and private chef Vlad just transformed our trip. The entire team was so accomodating despite our frequent last minute planning. The food was just exceptional. All of this is to say nothing of the property which speaks for itself. Just beautiful. Finally the communication with Whit was off the charts. Not surprising given the thought he put into every element of this property…but he was accessible and responsive in a way few hosts actually are. Can’t wait to go back. Would stay here again in a heartbeat

The beautiful home design and furnishings made for a comfortable place to spend time together and relax after a long day of playing in the sun. We loved cooking in the well stocked kitchen and eating at the dining room table that had enough seating for everyone in the group. Every bedroom has an adjoining bathroom. The kids and adults loved the hot tub and pool. The views from almost every area of the house inside and out are stunning! The location was great with easy access to restaurants and grocery stores.

Beautiful location, perfect for our two families together on this trip! The view and sunsets can't be beat and the pool was a welcome relief from the hot, hot sun. We had plenty of space for the nine of us to have both privacy and hangout time together. The only thing we could say is missing is an ice maker in one of the multiple wet bars -- nothing stays cold in costa rica, and a group of 9 goes through a lot of ice trying to make drinks by the pool and fill water bottles for the day trips.The app created by the owner was very helpful in planning ahead for the trip. The smaller nearby waterfall Whit recommended was perfect for our group and a big hit with the teens.We used the shuttle from the airport and highly recommend for any large groups! After the first day we switched from rental cars to using the same shuttle service for daily excursions, for virtually the same cost per family. This allowed us to all ride together and more importantly have a local navigating and making recommendations on where to go. We also enjoyed Simone's Cano Island snorkel trip and the opportunity to swim with sea turtles! She's an eagle eye for spotting wildlife along the way.Lastly, everyone should 100% book Vlad for at least a few dinners during your stay, if not all of them. The food was wonderful and very reasonably priced compared to eating out. We were all very full and happy. Make sure you request the chocolate cake and tiramisu!

Beautifl View!

We had a lovely family vacation and this home was perfect for our group of 9. Lots of room to spread out. After days of hiking and sightseeing, it was perfect to come back to the open air pool and hot tub; especially in rainy season, the covered area was enjoyable. Whitney was easy to reach with any needs. We had a hired Chef and he had plenty of work area to prepare the meals. Thank you Whitney for sharing the home! If we were to come to Uvita again, we'd repeat our stay.

There is not one detail that has been overlooked. This house was more than equipped for our group of 9 ladies to have a great time in Uvita! Whit was very responsive and had excellent communication. We utilized Simone, the house concierge and also Chef Vlad to prepare amazing meals for each evening. When Mother Nature didn't go along with our plans, we still had a fabulous time hanging around the villa with our group playing games, soaking in the hot tub or just lounging & socializing. Highly recommend and we will most definitely be back!

We had a marvelous time here. The location is great: Pacific views and the sound of the forest which starts right behind the house. Pristine playa hermosa is just minutes away by car. There are several surprisingly good restaurants nearby, just ask Whit. The house itself is well designed. The kitchen is fully equipped and everything is in spotless condition. The master bed is comfy; the outdoor shower is a nice feature. We also liked the soundsystem that connects easily to any smartphone. Whit has good suggestions on things to do in the area. But it is also great to relax on the deck with a book or to just watch the birds.
