Osa Property Management’s Concierge and Vacation Planner team will contact you after you have made your reservation.

Our goal is to make your trip to Costa Rica enjoyable and as relaxing as you want it to be.

The home is wonderfully located in Uvita. Uvita has beautiful beaches, the hills are lush, wildlife is abundant and its the perfect place to surf, horseback ride or just relax. Uvita has great restaurants, including the Beehive Mediterranean restaurant 3 minutes away, several coffee shops, microbrewery, local, fine dining, grocery stores, banks and pharmacies. If you are looking for a beautiful beach destination that is far less developed than Manuel Antonio, Uvita is a fantastic alternative. The highlight is Marino Ballena National Park, featuring the famous sandy "Whale Tail" where migrating humpback whales can be seen just offshore. You can whale watch, dolphin watch or snorkel.

Uvita also makes a great base for exploring Dominical (12 miles North) which is a fun, funky hippie and counterculturist enclave with great shops, dining, live music, candlelight yoga, spas, bars and beach. The emerging town of Ojochal is nine miles to the South and is known as one of the best foodie locations in all of Costa Rica. Ojochal also offers easy access to Playa Ventanas, a small and beautiful beach famous for its sea caves.

For those who enjoy golfing, the southern pacific’s only golf course, Osa Golf Course, is an easy 25 minute drive south.


Guests will meet with an Osa Property Management / Costa Rica Las Villas Representative at the time of check-in, at the Osa Property Management Uvita office, which is located 5 minutes from the home. At the time of check-in our Representative will escort you to the home and provide the keys and PIN codes.

Check-in must be completed by 8:00 pm. For check-ins between 8 pm and 10 pm there is a $50 fee and approval must be made at least 48 hours in advance. No check-ins or arrivals after 10 pm. For security and safety reasons, we cannot leave keys outside a property for pick up later. Osa Property Management reserves the right to not grant access if guests are arriving after 8 pm.

Beach lovers will love the proximity to the beach and to Marino Ballena National Park (with its instantly recognizable whale's tail beach). Playa Dominical, known throughout Costa Rica as one of the best surfing beaches, is an easy 15 minutes to the north. Playa Ventanas (windows beach), and its "window caves" is 20 minutes to the south.

More adventurous guests will love the proximity to many of the area's best tours (horseback riding, ATV, whale and dolphin watching, SCUBA, snorkel and some of the world's most beautiful waterfalls).

The Perfect House!

The house was perfect for my vacation. It was very close to Uvita and a short drive to Dominical. The house was extremely nice and modern. Pool is very large and warm. There was also a sloth living on the property that I saw daily. And every few days or so a family of Howler Monkeys would pass by. You could clearly hear them from the house and if you go outside you could see them. The only suggestion I would make. . . is for management to put some kind of sign or flag out by the road so guests do not miss the driveway. It is very hard to find at night time.

A bit of a beta test

This is an absolutely stunning house. The location is incredible. Even if there are other houses nearby, you still feel as if you are in the middle of the jungle. I think we were the first to stay there and that we had some first tenant issues. The utensils in the kitchen were worn out and dirty. The shower drains didn't drain so you have water to your ankles in a minute. The power went out a few times, which is normal, but the property management also did not respond about it until the next day when we tried to respond to it. If you are coming from San Jose, pay attention to the fact that they charge you an extra US$50 if you check in late, and the time you have to get from SJO to here is not enough to meet their late check-in cutoff. It's a great place with teething issues. Once those are ironed out, I am certain it will be much better.
