We loved our stay at the villa. Whit was very helpful and thought of everything to make our stay amazing. We hired Chef Vlad to cook us two amazing meals because we wanted to enjoy the villa and not have to leave for dinner! Overall we loved our stay and would be happy to return!

Thank you so much for your wonderful 10/10 review! It was truly a pleasure hosting you at Cielo Azul Villa.
I'm delighted to hear that you were able to fully relax and enjoy everything the villa has to offer. Chef Vlad is always a guest favorite, and I'm so glad his two dinners helped make your stay even more special while allowing you to spend more time enjoying the views, pool, and villa.
Thank you for your kind words about my hospitality. I work hard to think of the little details that help create a memorable experience, so it means a great deal to know they made a difference.
We would love to welcome you back anytime. Until then, safe travels and thank you again for choosing Cielo Azul Villa!
Pura VidaWords cannot describe the beauty of Cielo Azul Villa, it was simply amazing! We had a wonderful stay! The home was exactly as described—clean, comfortable, beautifully maintained, and stocked with everything we needed. Plenty of room for all 11 of us. The location was a peaceful retreat.Whit was friendly, responsive, and made the entire experience seamless from check-in to check-out. Chef Vlad, my goodness! He was a chef, an artist, a magician with food! Vlad made some of the best meals that we have ever had, grilled lobster and tuna sashimi to name a few! Simone was very kind and helpful. We truly felt at home and appreciated all the thoughtful touches throughout the property.We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend this home to anyone looking for a relaxing and enjoyable getaway. Thank you for a wonderful experience!The Williams family

This is an incredible property! It is well appointed, exceptionally clean and spacious with a great location. The owner,Whit, was very friendly and accommodating. He went out of his way to make sure that we were comfortable. We were a family of 12 staying at this beautiful property and had a great time. Thank you, Whit!

Thank you very much for the kind and thoughtful review. I’m truly happy to hear that your family enjoyed your stay at Cielo Azul Villa.
Hosting a group of 12 comfortably is exactly what the property was designed for—plenty of space, a well-appointed layout, and a setting that allows everyone to relax while still being close to everything Uvita has to offer. I also appreciate your comments on cleanliness and overall comfort, as those are areas I personally pay close attention to.
It was a pleasure meeting your family and making sure everything went smoothly during your stay. Thank you again for choosing Cielo Azul, and I hope to welcome you back in the future.
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

Thank you for such an incredible review—this truly means a lot.
It was an absolute pleasure hosting you, and I’m glad you felt the level of care and preparation we try to put into every stay. Simone and Chef Vlad will be especially happy to hear your kind words—they take great pride in creating memorable experiences, even when plans come together last minute.
I also appreciate you calling out the communication—that’s something I personally focus on to make sure everything runs smoothly from start to finish.
You were fantastic guests, and we would welcome you back anytime. Looking forward to round two.
Such a great place to stay in Uvita! So roomy and beautiful with a great view of the ocean! Whit was very responsive and resourceful! Loved this beautiful place!
Thank you for the kind review. I’m glad you were able to relax and enjoy the sunshine—there’s no better way to spend time here. I’m happy the house was a great fit, and I’d be glad to welcome you back anytime.

Beautiful house. Took 4-5 hours to get to from San Jose airport.

I am glad you enjoyed the villa. I was rather surprised by your comment about driving time. Your drive had some unique challenges due to the fact that you left the Airport late in the day (on a Costa Rican holiday) during a rain storm which caused the delay. The majority of our guests arrive in a little over 3 hours.
This place is far more beautiful than the photos. I highly recommend this house. It is by far the best rental property we have ever stayed in! Thanks to Whit our dining out was easy and our activities were wonderful. Stop looking and book this place!
We thoroughly enjoyed our time at this house. The house was more beautiful than the pictures on the website. Beds were comfortable and we loved both the pool & the hot tub. We were a group of 9 and everyone had their own space and bathroom!! Highly recommend.

The sunset views from this property are absolutely fabulous. The kitchen is wonderful with everything you need and all rooms are spacious. We enjoyed the feel of the outdoors while inside and enjoyed the pool and hot tub every day. The BBQ is awesome as well. Whit is a great host, thank you for sharing your beautiful property.

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!

Thank you for such a thoughtful and detailed review—it really captures what we strive to create at Cielo Azul.
We’re thrilled the villa worked so well for your two families. That balance of shared spaces true privacy is something many larger groups appreciate, so it’s great to hear it delivered for you. And yes…those sunsets tend to steal the show 🌅
I also appreciate the very practical note on the ice—that’s real-world feedback from someone who actually used the space the way it’s meant to be enjoyed. Costa Rica heat a group of nine poolside drinks = serious ice demand. We’re actively looking at solutions to make this easier for future guests.
Glad the digital guidebook helped with planning—that’s exactly why we built it. And you picked one of my favorite “hidden gem” waterfalls…perfect for families and a big win with teens.
Your transportation pivot is also spot-on advice for future guests. For larger groups, having a dedicated driver local insight often ends up being both more efficient and a better overall experience than multiple rental cars.
Simone will love the shoutout—she has an uncanny ability to spot wildlife that most people would completely miss. And swimming with turtles at Caño Island Biological Reserve is always a highlight.
And Vlad…you said it perfectly. For many groups, those private chef dinners end up being some of the most memorable nights of the trip (and yes—the chocolate cake and tiramisu are becoming legends).
We truly appreciate you staying with us and taking the time to share such useful insights for future guests. Hope to welcome you back again down the road.
Pura Vida,
Whit

Our group had an excellent time! We can’t say enough about how great Whit was. He was available to answer all of our questions and had great ideas. He has a binder with everything you need to know in it. It was very clean and had everything we needed. The groundskeeper, Chef Vlad, and our tour guide Simone, were all exceptional. I will be going back to this same property and I highly recommend it!

We absolutely loved our stay at this property! The host was very communicative and helpful leading up to and throughout our stay. 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. We can't recommend this home enough!

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.
