About this property

Newly Renovated 2 King, 2 Bath, AC, Fiber Optic Villa Ocean and Valley Views

Recently renovated with new deck overlooking the mountain views to compliment the already existing deck by the pool with ocean view. New fixtures, paint, etc. *No children under 12 years of age

Two king bedrooms each with full bathrooms, AC, and high speed wifi. Gated, private entrance with covered parking.

Perfectly situated in an elevated neighborhood capturing cool mountain breezes while enjoying jaw-dropping views. Easy access to one of the most beautiful waterfalls and river systems in Costa Rica.

I fell in love with this property because of the dramatic valley, jungle and ocean views. I believe you will too. It sits high above two river valleys and adjacent to a waterfall below, easily accessible by car or short hike. You will want to be there every day.

This home was built in 2011, highlighting Asian characteristics with indoor / outdoor living and sliding glass doors that disappear into the wall for total access to the pool area. There are two bedrooms each with private bathrooms. The master has an outdoor shower and indoor Jacuzzi tub . The second bedroom has an indoor shower. The living area is accented by a fireplace that is only for decor. There is a patio adjacent to the pool where you can enjoy private sunbathing , stargazing and yoga. A/C is available in the bedrooms but is rarely needed as there is usually a steady breeze through the home keeping the temperature pleasant during the day and possibly 'chilly' at night.

I love to cook so the kitchen is stocked with the necessary pots, pans, mixing bowls, utensils etc to create a fantastic meals without leaving the mountain.

There is so much to offer that it is best to see the pictures and email me with any other questions you may have .

Pura Vida!!

Paradise!

We loved it so much we came back for a second time! The location, the private pool, the view… all amazing! We enjoyed yoga on the patio in the mornings, lounging around the pool relaxing and spending time in this beautiful spot. Natasha was so helpful with planning a few special things for us. We had a delicious meal cooked for us by Chef Yuey, with enough leftovers for a few extra meals! Massages on the patio were very relaxing. We found some great restaurants in the area and can’t wait to go back!

Great locatiuon. Amazing views!!

Home is in a great location, with amazing views of the forest and ocean. Monkeys and Toucans were hanging out in the trees, and you wake up each morning to the sound of howler monkeys. Lots of things to do in the area and great dining options in Uvita and Dominical.

Private Paradise

In all my travels this was one of the best experiences renting a house I’ve ever had. Chelsea was on top of everything and went the extra mile in providing info before the trip and was beyond helpful during our stay. If you are looking for a peaceful getaway in a private and very comfortable home with incredible views, this is the place.

AMAZING!! Even better than the pictures!!

We absolutely LOVED our time at Casa Namaste and did not want to leave! It was so relaxing and private which was exactly what we were looking for. We enjoyed having our own private pool, and the outdoor area is where we spent most of our time. Everything was just amazing - we can't wait to come back! :)

My suggestion is stop and get enough groceries for your stay because you will not want to leave once you get to Casa Namaste. It is stunningly beautiful and so private. You feel like you have the entire jungle to yourself. It is a perfect place for relaxation😍

Absolutely amazing expierence

We had quite possibly the best vacation of our life when we visited Costa Rica. This vacation rental is truly a 5 star retreat. If you value privacy, views, and comfort then this place is a must stay! The property manager, Mercedes, was extremely accommodating and provided us with fantastic suggestions on restaurants, hang out spots, and even set us up with surf lessons. We loved our stay here so much that it has a seriously considering moving to Costa Rica!

If there's a perfect VRBO rental out there, it's this one

Casa Namaste exceeded all our expectations. We loved how the outside pool and covered patio were really just an extension of the home--we spent most of our time swimming and enjoying the views and wildlife from that space. The home is well kept and appointed with everything we needed, and Chelsea was a terrific host. She was easy to communicate with and offered us ideas that enriched our time in Costa Rica. It's a big, beautiful world out there, and we're already trying to figure out how to get back to this special home and place.

Amazing views and abundant bird life

Casa Namaste was a perfect place for us to stay. (2 couples ). The house is very modern, clean and well furnished with super comfortable king sized beds. We spent lots of time just sitting out by, and in, the pool with its amazing views over the “whale tail”. We especially enjoyed the abundant bird life: toucans, oropendulas, parrots and hawks to name a few. Writing this review makes me wish I was sitting there right now. Hope we can go back one day.

Slice of heaven

Did not disappoint! Uvita is a beautiful area, with so many things to do! This is a beautiful property with lush surroundings, incredible views, and amazing location!! 15 min from Uvita, great restaurants, grocery shopping, bakeries, cafes…, everything you would need. Daily sightings of monkeys, birds, butterflies, geckos. House is beautifully appointed, and very comfortable, with multiple seating options outside, beautiful pool with a view of the ocean and whales tail! 4wd recommended for the drive in, and steep driveway. Worth the drive!! Property management is very attentive, we had 1 small issue, that was resolved within 30 minutes! Made reservations for a tour for us, and were very quick to respond to any inquiries we had. This was our second visit, and definitely will not be our last!! Thank you yet again Casa Namaste! Already looking forward to returning.

Fun For Families

Our family of four (7 and 10 year old) enjoyed our stay. Chelsea was very helpful with getting us settled in and schedule a night hike for us just up the road from the house. The view of the valley, ocean, Cano Island, and whale's tale is amazing. My kids loved the pool and wild life. We walked down to the river to cool off one afternoon. While the paved road up to the house is a little long it makes your stay much more private, is a beautiful drive through the jungle, and cooler than being near the beach. This is a special house and location.

Amazing Stay in Uvita!

Absolutely beautiful location, with an incredible view! The house has everything you need, kitchen is fully equipped, A/C worked well, pool was the perfect temperature every day, and the outdoor space offered sun and shade at all times of day. The outdoor shower was such a treat! Beds were very comfortable, with great pillows! Wifi worked really well. Road to the house is daunting at first, but gets easier and quicker each time. Trip into Uvita took 15 min. Chelsea was great to communicate with and provided lots of recommendations. This is a property we would most definitely stay at again😊

Beautiful, realizing, everything you want in a property

Casa Namaste is an absolute dream of a home. It was always the thing we looked forward to coming back to the most after a long day of Costa Rican adventures. The pool overlooks the most beautiful view of the Whales Tail and the jungle with monkeys, toucans, butterflies and geicos!! The most wonderful part, however, was Chelsea. She helped us book reservations and gave us recommendations for local restaurants and attractions even after we already left. There was fresh fruit and wine waiting for us when we arrived! Thank you so much for the memories!

Casa Namaste

Truly a beautiful location and a beautiful home. A 4 wheel drive vehicle is a definite must. We loved the tranquility of the location and the ability to hear and see wildlife. The house is small, but with the outdoor living space we didn't feel cramped at all. Mercedes was very helpful in helping us plan activities in the area. We enjoy cooking and Casa Namaste had all the tools we needed including a barbecue. The one concern we had was that the Wifi was not good and we had to make the trip to town in order to do some necessary work. Overall, it was a wonderful venue and we highly recommend it.

Slice of heaven!

Treat yourself to this stunning property! The views, the pool, the house and Mercedes, the manager of this property, are outstanding. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Uvita and Mercedes was so helpful by booking surf lessons, a guided kayak and snorkelling tour, horseback riding and reservations for a wonderful sea-side restaurant. We also visited the river down the road, with neighbouring dogs Polly and Ginger leading the way ahead of the car! Our last afternoon was spent lounging in the pool and enjoying the fresh mountain air, while watching butterflies and birds swoop by. We did not want to leave!

Beyond spectacular!

Casa Namaste is everything we could have asked for and more! The house itself has all the amenities that you need for a short or extended stay. The view literally takes your breath away when you first see it and makes you cry when you have to leave. Chelsea was always helpful with dining suggestions, setting up a in home chef (Chef Juan Pablo is a must), giving directions to a hidden waterfall and swimming hole, and anything else we needed. The drive up the mountain is paved and only 15 minutes from Uvita. I am horrible at writing reviews, but if you have any reservations about booking, don't, book it now. We considered ourselves lucky that we found this slice of heaven.

About the host

Hosted by Natasha Pirani

Host profile image
Our family lived in Costa Rica full time for 15 years and were one of the first 'gringos' to build a home in the area.

Why they chose this property

San Josecito was an undiscovered gem that is now gaining the recognition it has long deserved. The location is second to none with short drives to the restaurants, shopping, beaches, waterfalls and other attractions. The mountain has a small town feel.

What makes this property unique

This home sits on over 6 acres and is perched over dramatic ocean and valley views. We have secondary forest running along the west side of the property which regularly brings monkeys and exotic birds to the property. When you aren't enjoying the local wildlife you have dramatic views of the ocean, valley or mountain peak.
