At every turn you are rewarded with breathtaking views. While it feels wonderfully secluded, the town of Uvita is only 15 minutes down the mountain and it has well stocked grocery stores, great restaurants and a variety of other services to make your stay comfortable. And in 5 minutes drive you can reach Playa Uvita and Playa Hermosa each offering miles of flat, walkable beach. The clear, warm ocean is great for swimming and surfing. We provide beach chairs and umbrella , 'boogie boards' and coolers to fully enjoy trips to the beach! The neighboring towns of Dominical and Ojochal offer great restaurants and shopping. This lush 3.6 acre property is landscaped with fruit trees and shrubs which attract the local hummingbirds and butterflies. Surrounded by the jungle flora you will be visited by howler monkeys, white-faced monkeys and coatis which travel up and down the jungle canopy. The distant rush of ocean waves crashing on the reef blends harmoniously with the sounds of toucans, scarlett macaws and other tropical songbirds. It is a perfect setting for your tropical vacation! The elevation provides you breathtaking ocean views, warm afternoons and cool evenings - no AC is required. There are virtually no pesky mosquitos to spoil the experience!
