About this property

Pura Uvita - Whale's Tail Ocean View, Modern home w/ salt water pool

Nestled in the mountains of Uvita with breathtaking views of the Whale’s Tail, this house is surrounded by lush rainforest and is less than 2 miles away from town.

Wake up to the sound of toucans and enjoy your breakfast on the open kitchen island. Open the living room’s sliding doors to enjoy the ocean breeze and expansive ocean views. Jump into the pool and soak in the beauty of Costa Rica’s southern coastline. Whatever you choose to do, you can’t go wrong with Pura Uvita!

------- About the Property --------

We fell in love with the location as soon as we saw the view. We had been looking for properties all over Costa Rica, and when we found this one, we immediately knew this was it. The beauty of the Osa peninsula is breathtaking and there are no words for describing how relaxing it is to be able to look right down at the whale’s tail from the comfort of your home all while in the middle of the rainforest. If you are looking for a true Costa Rican green-lush rainforest experience, the Osa peninsula is definitely the place to go.

The house was designed with a modern/industrial feel and boasts modern concrete and local wood finishes throughout. The two cedar trees that were cut to make room for the house were 100% utilized for closets, doors, and cabinets. Woods from other smaller trees were used throughout the construction process as well; our goal was to minimize waste as much as possible.

We strived to create a very open floor plan which is why you’ll find ultra high ceilings and will be able to literally open up the living room into the terrace, creating a large indoor/outdoor environment and allowing air to circulate throughout the house. The design of the ceiling along with strategic fan placement help keep the house at a very comfortable temperature so A/C is not necessary (although it is available in the bedrooms).

This is a 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom size designed to comfortably fit 4 people (2 persons per room), but it can accommodate up to 2-4 additional people (there are 2 sofa beds in the living room). There is WiFi available as well as a flat screen internet-connected TV. The kitchen is stocked with all the utensils you need to cook. Linens and towels are provided as are shampoo, conditioner, and soap.

There is an infinity pool, a large terrace and a lounging deck which could also be used for yoga.

Note that due to the beauty of the area, many people are wanting to move here (or come on vacation). As a result, there may be construction going on near or around the area. Construction is now common anywhere from Escaleras all the way down through Uvita and south of Ojochal.

About the host

Hosted by Andrea Chaves

Host profile image
Andrea is Costa Rican (a.k.a tica) and Tim is from the U.S. We live in US and we built this house in 2016 so we can enjoy the Osa Peninsula when we visit and to share our piece of paradise with people like you from all over the world.

Why they chose this property

We had been looking at properties in Costa Rica for a while when we stumbled into this beautiful property. With one of us (Andrea) being from Costa Rica we were planning on building a house that would eventually become our retirement home but that could also help us show Costa Rica to people around the world.

After searching all over the country, we believe that the Southern Pacific area is the one that best showcases what Costa Rica has to offer: beautiful scenery, lush rainforests, plenty of sightseeing and adventure, and super friendly people.

What makes this property unique

The house is brand new and is only 2.6 km from downtown Uvita. You'll enjoy an incredible Ocean View while surrounded by rainforest all within a short 10 minute drive from town.
