About this property

Entire house - Whale Tail/Ocean Views, Cool Breezes, FibOpt WiFi, Infinity Pool!

Casa Bambu is situated on 1.5 acres of tropical landscape of beautiful trees, palms and flowers. An infinity pool with breathtaking views of the Pacific Ocean, white water beaches, Ballena Marine Park and at a distance – Cano Island and the Osa Penninsula.

The custom house is tropical design, structural bamboo vaulted ceilings and local exotic hardwoods. Unique and charming – the property sits at an elevation of 1100 ft (300 meters) – keeping the house cool and fresh during the day, with mountain downdrafts to cool at night.

A full kitchen with a gas BBQ, bathroom, living area, laundry and covered patio – all on the main floor. (The covered patio is a great for viewing songbirds, parrots, toucans, and aracaris as they visit the mango tree - not to mention the direct view of the Whales Tale and the Bahia.)

On the lower level - a spacious master bedroom with King size bed and incredible ocean views. Offering A/C, quality linens, privacy, and large en-suite, along with a walk-in closet with a safe. Patio doors lead you to a private terrace where your infinity pool awaits.

The house was designed for couples - offering the perfect amount of detail to create an escape from the everyday life of the northern hemisphere. Ideal for honeymooners, personal life celebrations, birders, those who just want to get away from the busy-ness of daily life. This property is serene, but full of plant, bird and tropical life!

You will have the whole house and grounds to yourself. The casita will not be rented during your stay at Casa Bambu.

WiFi at the house is very stable and fast Fiber Optic internet. There is a smart TV in the living room that can be used for streaming and watching movies. There is a washer and dryer at the house for the guests to use. Because the house sits at 1100 ft elevation, guests enjoy cool mountain breezes; however, we have installed air conditioning in the bedroom which can be used for a minimum additional charge based on usage and and the electric meter reading for your actual stay. Most guests who use the AC only use it to cool down the bedroom in the evening and have not gone over the budgeted allowance for electricity.

Access to this property is along an incredible jungle road. (It does have a couple of steep sections to it and requires a 4WD SUV.) The house is about a 15 minute drive from town up a mountain road. There is a locked gate to enter the property and there are security cameras for the entrances to the property. There are no cameras in the house or pool area.

Our property manager, Trina – will meet you in town and escort you to the property.

We have stayed in many vacation rental homes over the years. This place -Casa Bambu - was one of the best we have ever experienced. The house is lovely, well equipped and spotlessly clean. The whale’s tail view is spectacular. We spent 4 nights here and most of that time was spent on the upper deck or poolside patio. There are plenty of seating options for sun or shade. The pool is clean and cool. Many different bird species visited every day and we also so saw frogs and a very large green iguana. The kitchen was well equipped and easy to cook in. As mentioned in other reviews, the road up is a little challenging especially the first time and we appreciated Jorge meeting us at the bottom of the hill and guiding us up. The management team was easy to contact and extremely helpful. This was without a doubt our best stop in our 3 week visit to Costa Rica. We would come back in a heartbeat and would recommend without hesitation to anyone visiting the area.

Everything we hoped for
After waiting an extra year to get here, everything was wonderful. Casa Bambu is well appointed, clean and comfortable. The views are incredible and you can find everything you need in Uvita and many beautiful beaches and out trip options around. Definitely rent a 4x4 vehicle as the 4km mountain road would be impossible without one. Daily rain, daily sun, many birds and jungle sounds made for a rest that was much needed. Thank-you.

MAGICAL!
We are long time travellers to Costa Rica and Casa Bambu is now one of our top three places! There is only one word for the house and location - Magical. The house is perfect for two, very well done with comfortable furniture and very nice amenities. It has everything you could need. The manager was super helpful and attentive. The owners checked in to be sure we had everything we needed. Toucans and butterflies everywhere. The view is spectacular. We can't wait to stay here again. Thank you for the experience!

Heal your relationship here!
If you’re looking for a couples getaway - stop right here and book this villa now! My husband and I spent 6 glorious days here and we couldn’t have imagined a better vacation for the two of us. The villa is 3km up the dirt road on the mountain, the mountain itself is magical and this villa does it full justice. Place of relaxation and completely falling off planet Earth into a lush jungle full of monkeys and macaws. Open your eyes in the morning cuddling in the king size bed admiring the Whale’s Tail in full glory as you scheme how to move to Costa Rica, take a dip in the infinity pool all before your morning coffee. We loved that the mountain is much cooler than beachfront area - amazing to sleep and no need for AC, that is available. Some other important things to note: full kitchen with good frying pans and sharp knives (my pet peeve about rentals is scratched up frying pans and dull knives), basic condiments available, there is a washer/dryer which is great for getting humidity out of your clothes before packing for the flight back. The manager is very communicative and available for any questions. It’s a pleasure to stay in a place that you can tell is very well loved and taken care of!

Life-changing trip!
From the very beginning, this place, the host and property manager was amazing! Super communicative and was totally open to my many many questions lol! Arriving there, Jorge drove us up the insanely steep awesome mountain to this beautiful property! He showed us around and made himself available for any help we needed during our stay. I I can't even tell you with words how beautiful this place and the view is! There's no way anybody would be disappointed by staying here. Thank you so much for an enchanted experience! I can only hope to one day be able to return. PURA VITA!

About the host

Hosted by Peggy

Host profile image
Hi, I'm Peggy, and I live with my husband Joe in the mountains in Colorado. Living in the Rocky Mountains, we love backpacking, cross country skiing, and downhill skiing, but we also love the beaches, tropical breezes, and ocean views of Costa Rica. We started coming to Costa Rica in 2010 and found that it felt like home to us. After many years of 9 to 5 jobs and raising a family, we decided it was time to start a new chapter in our lives in Uvita, Costa Rica, and we couldn’t be more excited! We hope we’ll get a chance to share our little piece of paradise with you!
