About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Entire house - Whale Tail/Ocean Views, Cool Breezes, FibOpt WiFi, Infinity Pool!

Casa Bambu is situated on 1.5 acres of tropical landscape of beautiful trees, palms and flowers. An infinity pool with breathtaking views of the Pacific Ocean, white water beaches, Ballena Marine Park and at a distance – Cano Island and the Osa Penninsula.

The custom house is tropical design, structural bamboo vaulted ceilings and local exotic hardwoods. Unique and charming – the property sits at an elevation of 1100 ft (300 meters) – keeping the house cool and fresh during the day, with mountain downdrafts to cool at night.

A full kitchen with a gas BBQ, bathroom, living area, laundry and covered patio – all on the main floor. (The covered patio is a great for viewing songbirds, parrots, toucans, and aracaris as they visit the mango tree - not to mention the direct view of the Whales Tale and the Bahia.)

On the lower level - a spacious master bedroom with King size bed and incredible ocean views. Offering A/C, quality linens, privacy, and large en-suite, along with a walk-in closet with a safe. Patio doors lead you to a private terrace where your infinity pool awaits.

The house was designed for couples - offering the perfect amount of detail to create an escape from the everyday life of the northern hemisphere. Ideal for honeymooners, personal life celebrations, birders, those who just want to get away from the busy-ness of daily life. This property is serene, but full of plant, bird and tropical life!

You will have the whole house and grounds to yourself. The casita will not be rented during your stay at Casa Bambu.

WiFi at the house is very stable and fast Fiber Optic internet. There is a smart TV in the living room that can be used for streaming and watching movies. There is a washer and dryer at the house for the guests to use. Because the house sits at 1100 ft elevation, guests enjoy cool mountain breezes; however, we have installed air conditioning in the bedroom which can be used for a minimum additional charge based on usage and and the electric meter reading for your actual stay. Most guests who use the AC only use it to cool down the bedroom in the evening and have not gone over the budgeted allowance for electricity.

Access to this property is along an incredible jungle road. (It does have a couple of steep sections to it and requires a 4WD SUV.) The house is about a 15 minute drive from town up a mountain road. There is a locked gate to enter the property and there are security cameras for the entrances to the property. There are no cameras in the house or pool area.

Our property manager, Trina – will meet you in town and escort you to the property.

Life-changing trip!
From the very beginning, this place, the host and property manager was amazing! Super communicative and was totally open to my many many questions lol! Arriving there, Jorge drove us up the insanely steep awesome mountain to this beautiful property! He showed us around and made himself available for any help we needed during our stay. I I can't even tell you with words how beautiful this place and the view is! There's no way anybody would be disappointed by staying here. Thank you so much for an enchanted experience! I can only hope to one day be able to return. PURA VITA!

Casa Bambu is a cozy, beautiful home with absolutely gorgeous views! The drive up and down the mountain is no joke, but you will get used to it after a few times. Just make sure you have 4x4 and hold on! The hosts have thought of everything—the kitchen is well equipped, they have boogie boards and beach chairs, and the towels and linens are fresh and crisp! Our stay was short but lovely!

We didn’t want to leave!
Casa Bambú was so beautiful and comfortable, staying here was a highlight of our trip to Costa Rica. The views are just gorgeous, and we were in love with watching the colorful parade of bird visitors each day. We also loved the little geckos. The home had everything we needed, including a very well equipped kitchen that made prepping meals a breeze. I was pleasantly surprised to even find a set of yoga mats. It really feels like you are staying in a loved and well cared for home. The evening ocean breeze kept us comfy at night, we didn’t even use the AC. Peggy and her wonderful team were very helpful and proactive in communication, getting us settled in and checked out. Extra thank you to Jorge for meeting up with me afterwards to return an item I had left behind! You absolutely need a 4x4 to get there - the road is steep and rocky. We would just do one trip out for the day and got more comfortable with the road each time.

Perfect Stay in Uvita
This was our first time to Costa Rica and we were so lucky to be able to rent this property. 9 days was not enough and we're already planning our next trip! From the start of the trip, Jorge met us at the base of the mountain and escorted us to the home. He walked us through the property and ensured that we understood how the water heater and stove worked (which was super simple). Jorge and Trina were always quick to respond to our questions via Whatsapp. The home was well appointed and had everything we could possibly need. I loved that the living area was separate for the bedroom - I was able to wake up early and get breakfast going while my wife slept in for a while longer. We had coffee on the porch every morning while listening to the howler monkeys in the distance. Multiple species of birds were spotted from the top deck including multiple fiery billed aracaris and a yellow throated toucan that visited often. The pool was perfectly clean and an excellent break from the mid-day heat. A cleaner came by at some point during the trip, but I they were so non- intrusive that I didn't even realize he was there until I noticed the handful of leaves were gone. The drive up the mountain takes about 20 minutes and you'll definitely need a 4-wheel drive for some of the steeper sections. We never felt unsafe on the drive, it is just a little bumpy. Speaking of safety, the home has a huge gate but we never felt unsafe at the home or in town. It was a perfect trip!

Total Tranquility. Beautiful Home.
This is a beautiful home and we enjoyed our stay so much. I wanted to get "totally away" for my 60th birthday and this place was perfect. The home is located up the mountain, so be prepared with a 4x4 and a fun, bumpy ride! We loved it! We saw so many birds every morning and evening we became "birders". We loved hearing all the wildlife every day. We fell asleep listening to the frogs. The house is well equipped to cook with many utensils and an outdoor grill. The pool is a delight after a day out exploring and the sunset each evening was glorious. We made sure we were back for sunset each evening; it was that good! The house managers, Trina and Jorge were helpful, and things went very smoothly with check in/out. Jorge showed us the way up the mountain the first day, which was helpful. The owner was also really helpful pre-trip with suggestions for the area. Communication was smooth with everyone. We did the Jungle ATV tour and it was a blast.We went to two waterfalls and a coffee farm. Highly recommend doing this. We also drove to Manual Antonio and hiked at the park and ate lunch in the area. Another highlight was walking on the Whale Tail at low tide. It was a beautiful day and fun to look up into the mountains trying to find our place. If you want a peaceful vacation home, this is your place. Be prepared to not want to leave Uvita!

We have stayed in many vacation rental homes over the years. This place -Casa Bambu - was one of the best we have ever experienced. The house is lovely, well equipped and spotlessly clean. The whale’s tail view is spectacular. We spent 4 nights here and most of that time was spent on the upper deck or poolside patio. There are plenty of seating options for sun or shade. The pool is clean and cool. Many different bird species visited every day and we also so saw frogs and a very large green iguana. The kitchen was well equipped and easy to cook in. As mentioned in other reviews, the road up is a little challenging especially the first time and we appreciated Jorge meeting us at the bottom of the hill and guiding us up. The management team was easy to contact and extremely helpful. This was without a doubt our best stop in our 3 week visit to Costa Rica. We would come back in a heartbeat and would recommend without hesitation to anyone visiting the area.

We love Casa Bamboo. This was our 3rd time staying in this lovely home and it NEVER disappoints! This year we had incredible wildlife visitors daily. The weather was perfect. Sleeping and waking with the sun to the jungle sounds is healing for the nervous system. Highly recommend!

Highly, highly recommend to stay at this house! The location was superb - private, at a top of the hill with the best view for sunrises and sunsets. You are in the middle of the jungle and can hear howler monkeys, see toucans and macaws right from the property! We spent much time just relaxing in the pool watching the wildlife and enjoying the view. The house is very Costa Rica with an ind

Perhaps the best VRBO experience we’ve ever had
Exceptional property with management and customer service to match. From our pre-booking Qs, to the moment we checked out, we were so impressed with the communication and professionalism of the process. The home has a classy, understated, functional design that blends wonderfully into its setting. The infinity pool is just the right size and has great views. The AC in the bedroom was nice when we needed it - but the airy, mountain breezes kept our stay comfortable all the rest of the time. Any cooking tools we needed were there, including smoothie blenders, pots, fry pans, juicers and toasters. We found that, given the mountain location and 4x4 road, we limited our trips out to 1 per day for whatever excursions we had planned or eating out we wished to do. The upside to that was that we really enjoyed our mornings and evenings at the property. We will definitely be staying here again.
