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.

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!

Beautiful
Very nice house. Clean, well equipped and a wonderful view! Only the way to get there should be considered. It is not very difficult, but it takes some time to get up or downhill to go shopping or out for dinner. But it is definetely worth it! But it is definetely wortth it!

Loved!
Casa Bambu is a cozy, beautiful home with absolutely gorgeous views! The drive up and down the mountain is no joke, but you will get used to it after a few times. Just make sure you have 4x4 and hold on! The hosts have thought of everything—the kitchen is well equipped, they have boogie boards and beach chairs, and the towels and linens are fresh and crisp! Our stay was short but lovely!

We didn’t want to leave!
Casa Bambú was so beautiful and comfortable, staying here was a highlight of our trip to Costa Rica. The views are just gorgeous, and we were in love with watching the colorful parade of bird visitors each day. We also loved the little geckos. The home had everything we needed, including a very well equipped kitchen that made prepping meals a breeze. I was pleasantly surprised to even find a set of yoga mats. It really feels like you are staying in a loved and well cared for home. The evening ocean breeze kept us comfy at night, we didn’t even use the AC. Peggy and her wonderful team were very helpful and proactive in communication, getting us settled in and checked out. Extra thank you to Jorge for meeting up with me afterwards to return an item I had left behind! You absolutely need a 4x4 to get there - the road is steep and rocky. We would just do one trip out for the day and got more comfortable with the road each time.

Perfect Stay in Uvita
This was our first time to Costa Rica and we were so lucky to be able to rent this property. 9 days was not enough and we're already planning our next trip! From the start of the trip, Jorge met us at the base of the mountain and escorted us to the home. He walked us through the property and ensured that we understood how the water heater and stove worked (which was super simple). Jorge and Trina were always quick to respond to our questions via Whatsapp. The home was well appointed and had everything we could possibly need. I loved that the living area was separate for the bedroom - I was able to wake up early and get breakfast going while my wife slept in for a while longer. We had coffee on the porch every morning while listening to the howler monkeys in the distance. Multiple species of birds were spotted from the top deck including multiple fiery billed aracaris and a yellow throated toucan that visited often. The pool was perfectly clean and an excellent break from the mid-day heat. A cleaner came by at some point during the trip, but I they were so non- intrusive that I didn't even realize he was there until I noticed the handful of leaves were gone. The drive up the mountain takes about 20 minutes and you'll definitely need a 4-wheel drive for some of the steeper sections. We never felt unsafe on the drive, it is just a little bumpy. Speaking of safety, the home has a huge gate but we never felt unsafe at the home or in town. It was a perfect trip!

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!
