BEACH FRONT HOUSE 50mts from the water. PUNTA UVA ARRECIFE

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.

Great location with lots of wildlife and directly across from the beach. Pleasantly surprised with AC in each room. The space worked perfectly for 7 adults. There are no self service laundry on site however the host offers the property manager to wash your clothes. The stay overall was great. The last night stayed the racoons kept us up most of the night and even tried getting in our bathroom.

Good Stay Álvaro and Sue were very sweet people and were quick to help us with anything we needed. The backyard had so much wildlife even more than when we visited the cahuita national park. The location is good because it’s far from puerto viejo (which is not a cute town) and a 30 second walk to the beach, but not very close to the grocery store if you don’t have a car. Some suggestions: The kitchen lacks some cooking basics (spices, containers, few cooking utensils). Downstairs has air conditioning but upstairs gets fairly hot since they just have a ceiling fan.
