Excellent location for a sleepy beach vacation. Friendly caretakers on site. Friendly locals and a few cool little beach bars/restaurants within walking distance. We saw more wildlife in our week on the property than anywhere else nearby (sloths, howler/spider monkeys, toucans, aguitas, guans, iguanas, etc). A/C and hot water works perfectly. Hot/Cold water purifier on site. We had 8 people (4 adults/4 kids) at the house and it worked out well. It is not a modern high end home, but fits the bill for a beach bungalow with everything you need. New pool was amazing as well.
Punta Uva is a super cool place. We heard a lot of negativity about the Carribean coast, but it exceeded expectations. One of the best beaches I've ever been on. If we ever come back to Costa Rica we will be back.

What an amazing bit of heaven. The home is located on a large tropical lot filled with almond, coconut, banana, and other impressive trees. It feels pretty secluded and we were fortunate to have visiting animals like sloths, monkeys, agouti, great green macaws, and toucans. Caretakers Alvaro and Sue live in a small house behind the main home that we stayed in. I personally liked having them nearby as they are friendly and helpful while also respecting the privacy of guests. Alvaro and his son left us young coconuts to drink from twice during our stay - what a treat! And, you are directly in front of such a beautiful tropical beach. We enjoyed not having to haul sunscreen and backup drinks from the house to the shore as these items were just steps away. The AC and WIFI worked well. Note that just the bedrooms are air conditioned. The kitchen, dining, and family gathering spaces are not climate controlled but have fans running to keep cool. We visited the last week of July into early August and enjoyed perfect weather - mid 80s during the day and mostly sunny. Rains came at night while we were sleeping. Just down the street is a restaurant you can walk to that has good food and cocktails. Can't recommend this home enough.

We are two families and some friends. We were 8 at one point. 6 most of the time. The house fit perfectly. Three very comfortable bedrooms each with its own bathroom and very welcome air conditioning. Upstairs open air couch desk and hammock. Downstairs open aire kitchen and living space with large dining table. We did most of our own cooking. Wonderful grocery stores very close. Su and Alvaro live in the back with there kids and they were so helpful. Cleaned the house about every 3 days and did laundry! On the property we say howler monkeys, Green Macaws and iguanas.The beach was steps from the property. Every morning we made coffee and sat on beach. The beach was quite all week and fun in the weekend. There's a wonderful little restaurant, La Serena, steps from the property and a bar with Salsa Lessons and lots of fun in the weekend just a few steps farther. Even on the party nights everyone was pretty much done by 8pm. Short drive to whatever you need. Needed to go the health clinic once. It was perfect. We wanted for nothing.

We really loved the house, the staff on site who helped us out with laundry etc and the owner who was very nice and responsive. The house is right across the beach so we were super excited when we arrived. But the next day (Saturday) there were tens of cars and many many people showing up. The beach was so busy we couldn’t even go. Lots of music too. We were quite surprised as we didn’t expect this. We did go to Cahuita park the next day and it was very nice and quieter. Both Saturday and Sunday were super busy and crowded at the beach across the house but Monday was better. Also if you walk past the little river, you end up on the actual Punta uva beach and it’s much quieter. We couldn’t swim because the ocean was very rough. But I want to say that if you are looking for a nice place with lots of liveliness, this is the place for you! We are just people who love to be in quiet/ natural places. The yard of the house was amazing though, with tons of animals, monkeys, birds, hummingbirds, etc. we cooked a lot and ate outside and it was lovely. Just a little too noisy for us…
