Jungle Luxury! Stunning Whale's Tail View! Pool, Outdoor Shower, Etc.! 5-STAR!!
WELCOME TO CASA COLA BALLENA!
The Costa Ballena, or Whale's Coast, is one of the coolest spots in Costa Rica. This beautiful home features the best view of the Whale's Tail in the Southern Zone and enjoys continuous fresh breezes. In addition to the awe-inspiring view, the benefits of being up in the mountains include a microclimate that is about 10 degrees cooler than in town and on the beach, and few biting insects, as we are above the "bugline". You will be serenaded daily by a wide variety of birds, monkeys and rainforest critters. Open the doors wide and enjoy indoor/outdoor living with the best view of the Whale's Tail!
As if the home, the views and the nature around you aren't enough, our guests rave about the personalized guest service that we can provide! We can work with you ahead of time to get your car rental arranged (our agency provides our guests with preferential pricing, and a 4WD is required), your tours selected and booked, home massages scheduled, even bring in wonderful chefs to cook and serve you, if you desire! We want to make sure that your stay in Costa Rica is the absolute best!
Situated 10 minutes above Uvita, this 3,000 sf home has 3 bedrooms, 3.5 baths, a pool, large deck and a luxurious outdoor shower. Enjoy the best view in the world while taking an outdoor shower by the pool!
The home is beautifully furnished and appointed, with custom cabinetry and granite throughtout. You'll find a well-equipped kitchen with lots of appliances and gadgets that makes cooking fun! Our water is spring-fed, passes through a multi-point filtration system, and is wonderful!
The outdoor areas feature several dining and lounging areas around the lighted pool and gardens. Enjoy your evenings relaxing and gazing out over the jungle and the Whale Tail below while you are treated to another awesome Costa Rican sunset or, if weather provides, an incredible lightning display over the ocean and Cańo Island. You won't want to leave...

About the host
Hosted by Sarah and Mark
We fell in love with Costa Rica and, specifically, the Ballena coast, when we came here to marry in 2013. We had a spectacular view of the Whale's Tail as our backdrop! When we first came to Casa Cola Ballena ourselves we were awestruck, and set on a path to call it our new home! We look forward to sharing our home with you so that you can experience the ultimate in Costa Rica living.
Why they chose this property
For those of you who have stayed at Casa Cola Ballena in the past, you'll be delighted with the upgrades we have brought to our new home! The home itself, the nature that surrounds, and the incredible views remain awesome! We have upgraded all the bed linens to a Tommy Bahama-esq look, and upgraded the "creature comforts" such as Netflix streaming and incredible fiber optic internet connectivity in the event you need to stay better connected with your home base while escaping in the jungle!
What makes this property unique
Luxury Jungle Living....This house provides a great way to be in an adventurous area with all the fun things to do in the rainforest and at the beach. After a long hard day of surfing, ziplining, ATV's, fishing, or horses, there is nothing better than getting up to the house, where it is a little cooler, jumping in the pool, and living in luxury in the Jungle. It's like getting away from it all, but still coming home to a well appointed home with all the modern amenities.
