A villa in the hills. Quite magical and peaceful. Quite seriously need that 4x4 to get in but well worth it. The place is spacious and has AC in the bedrooms. When the rain hits the roof it can get quite loud, which I felt was plusWould reccomend to anyone who wants to have an ultra private spot while in the region. Thankyou.

We loved our 3-week stay here. Our favourite part was definitely the wildlife - we saw more here than any other place we’ve visited! The space was larger than we expected and the beds were very comfortable. The driveway is steep but doable without 4x4. We wished the pool was a bit warmer but it was so refreshing on a hot day. Pura Vida!

Very nice stay

Loved our stay. Encountered only two problems: Getting up the drive requires at least front wheel drive, and the stay was not long enough.

Check in was easy and efficient. Property is beautiful with lots of wildlife, frogs, toucans, lizards and butterflies. Could use some updates to make the house more comfortable, i.e. mattress in master bedroom, couch cushions and pool/patio furniture.

Dream Christmas Getaway

We took our family to Costa Rica for Christmas and selected this house for our base of operations. Michael and Massi were very communicative and patient with all of our questions. The house suited us perfectly and was everything we were looking for and more. Definitely recommend to anyone thinking about staying here.

Paradise

The place was great! We enjoyed all the wildlife. The house was clean and had everything we needed. A 4x4 is recommended unless you enjoy a walk up a steep driveway, which we did. Would recommend this piece of paradise to anyone looking to get off of he beaten track

Unique expereince!

We enjoyed our stay! What a unique, spacious, and fun place. We enjoyed the pool, the views, the toucans, and other wild life. We hiked down to the creek--very steep. It was also a perfect place to be close to the boat excurions in Uvita. We enjoyed the food left for us!

Beautiful View

We loved our stay at Estilo de Vida. The view is great! I miss waking up to the birds, monkeys and the view. We found ourselves just wanting to hangout at the pool most days. Everywhere we ate in Ojochal and near by we’re excellent. Pura Vida

Wonderful holiday in a beautiful place

We arrived at Michael's house in the dark after a delayed journey.. it was amazing to wake up the next day to the beautiful view of the ocean in the distance. We saw toucans, howler monkeys, coatis, agoutis, parrots, poison arrow frogs and lots of beautiful butterflies

Great place for anyone!

Great layout for family and/or friends. Manager was helpful and quick to respond. We loved having our own pool to relax or play in after checking out the local beaches and waterfalls. And wildlife on site:). The house is close to so many things to do or amenities such as restaurants and grocery stores. Uvita has what you need. Dominical is a short drive away for that surf town vibe and great food!

Piece of paradise

Thank you for sharing your piece of paradise with us. The house was just perfect! Beautiful view, perfect elevation up the mountain. Kitchen well stocked for cooking, everything provided for our stay. Very thoughtful to have a beautiful welcome basket full of goodies and beer in the fridge! We had a very relaxing trip, spent most of our time in the pool and at the beach. We hope to stay again. Pura Vida

Gorgeous Seclusion

What a great house! The view is phenomenal, and you can't beat the privacy. The wildlife is wonderful, the water is HOT, and the AC is cold. We were a little bummed to realize the jacuzzi isn't heated, but there's a giant bathtub in the master bathroom right by a window that was just as enjoyable, so no worries! The kitchen is large and usable, and the grill was a nice touch. We had a wonderful stay, and would recommend this property to anyone looking for a good time in Costa Rica.

Paradise!

We couldn’t have asked for a better home for a relaxed, animal filled vacation! We especially loved the two coatimundis that visited every day and the toucans! The only consideration is I wouldn’t recommend this for a family with a crawler. The bats, while absolutely adorable do make quite a mess.

Enjoyed the pool, hiking trails, birds/animals and views

Nice sized pool. Beautiful views. Saw howler monkeys, toucans, morpho butterflies, and frogs. Enjoyed the hiking trails. Many wonderful restaurants within a short drive. We couldn't get wifi to stay connected, but luckily we had a hotspot we were able to use for part of our stay. Living area was quite warm during the day, but we spent most of our time elsewhere. Overall, we enjoyed the property and were happy with it.

Costa Rican Paradise

It's had to put in words the amount of joy and relexation we had st Esitlo deVida. We had our own tropical animal show in the back yard, from 6 Toucans landing in a tree, to a 45 minute monkey show, scarlett macaws and a Coati family. The pool was enjoyed from dawn to bedtime and the views are unphatomenal. Massi the property manager was unreal and responded immediately. Uvita Information Center was a pleasure.

In the forest, great pool, toucans everywhere

A perfect stay for wildlife and nature enthusiasts. There were dart frogs milling about, toucans everywhere, coatis, and agoutis. The trails were great, but driving the road beyond the house is how we saw even more wildlife. The pool was perfect for a morning/early afternoon dip. Just remember, it really is nestled into the forest, so a few leaves may fall in the pool, or a few cool insects may visit the house, but the gekos take care of them mostly! The house was very clean when we arrived, and everything we needed to cook our meals was there!

Wonderful

Everything was exactly as pictured. Daily coati and toucan visits, and the howler monkeys will have you up at 5am every morning so you'll never miss a sunrise. 😂 The view from the back porch was beautiful and the monkey and sloth trails were a tough workout for a pair of seniors. This was our fourth stay in this area and highly recommend a four-wheel drive vehicle for the road and especially for the driveway to this villa. We had a wonderful 12 days here and thank you Massi for all your help during our stay. I highly recommend visiting Sonia at the Uvita Information Center to help with scheduling your excursions. She is wonderful! Michael, your home was beautiful and thank you for sharing it with us.

Beautiful location with great view

We spent three nights here and as the instructions say, a 4x4 is recommended to get to the property. However, it wasn't an issue to get around, even in the rain, if you had a vehicle that could go to "sport" mode. The place was clean and had everything we needed. The property management staff was responsive. We really enjoyed having a welcome basket and the kitchen stocked with some essentials. There was even laundry detergent and a dryer! We saw toucans, had visits from the coati, heard the howling monkeys and loved the sunrises and sunsets. The pool had some issues but they were incredibly responsive in fixing it - even during the rain! We appreciated the recommendations to the Uvita tourist center - all excursions were wonderful. We even saw whales, a baby and a mom! Thanks for a great stay!
