About this property

Affordable, Breathtaking Luxury! Private yet Close to Everything

The Unicorn House is a new, custom built eco friendly villa featuring 4 bedrooms and 3.5 baths. This paradise on earth vacation home has spectacular panoramic views overlooking the Pacific Ocean that can be enjoyed from every part of the house including the infinity pool, outdoor patio area, or multiple deck areas. The open floor concept provides a great room with spacious windows and allows handicap accessibility. All stainless appliances (fridge, dishwasher, microwave, washer, dryer) are new and the kitchen features granite counters and custom hardwood cabinets to create wonderful gourmet meals during your stay. An air fryer is also included for preparing healthy and tasty meals.

The home includes reliable Wifi, air conditioning, water purification system, lower level handicap accessibility with large bathroom and ramp, washer and dryer, solar powered hot water, housekeeping before and after your stay, optional gourmet on-site chef (added fee), and other extra services available on request.

Only a three minute drive away are beaches that you can observe whale watching and other tourist activities. Surrounding wildlife include toucans, monkeys, butterflies, sloths, whales, and parrots. Additionally, tropical plants and flowers surround the property including palm trees, birds of paradise, orchids, bromeliads, and many others.

If you are looking for an affordable and unforgettable Costa Rican vacation, you will love Casa Unicornio Azul. We do recommend 4x4 for your vehicle for easy access on our short but steep driveway.

About the host

Hosted by Anne Stawiski

Host profile image
One of us was born and raised in Costa Rica, the other fell in love with Costa Rica 25 years ago as a volunteer English teacher living and working in CR. We married in Costa Rica, and plan to retire in Costa Rica eventually. We decided to build our retirement home early and rent it out so others can enjoy the experience we love so much. We built the ideal home we want to live in, so we know others will love it as well.

Why they chose this property

This property has the best of everything, ocean view, jungle view, animal watching, private setting with no neighbors close by, close to town, easy access, ecological, and is in mint condition. Plus, when you rent this property, you will have the chance to meet a local Costa Rican family (our brother is our Property Manager) and experience the generosity and happy attitude that is characteristic of the Costa Rican people.

What makes this property unique

The Unicorn House is unique with both it’s extreme accessibility and amazing ocean views. The private drive is close to the main road, yet the home is removed from any noise, creating an atmosphere of a private jungle. This vacation home is also very family friendly as safety is our priority. Casa Unicornio Azul is in a safe location and the home is equipped with the latest security system that is regularly updated. Additionally, the roads leading to the property are safe and do not require precarious mountain travel. Our property manager, an Uvita local resident, is bilingual in English and Spanish, and lives nearby to be on call in the event you need anything. He is committed to your complete satisfaction.
