This gated, three-bedroom (all with A/C and ceiling fans), property is wonderfully located just minutes from the beaches and restaurants of Uvita.
Guests absolutely love the private swimming pool with views of the nearby Pacific Ocean and Cano Island National Park in the distance (great place for snorkeling, whale watching and ocean tours). Uvita is home to the world-famous 'Whales Tail' beach formation at Ballena National Park, coffee shops, grocery stores, banks and clinics.
The entry level floor has two bedrooms, a full bathroom and free-to-use laundry facilities. One bedroom has two single beds and the other bedroom has a queen sized bed.
As guests go up the stairs and arrive on the second floor, they are welcomed with vaulted ceilings, a spacious open floor plan with a modern kitchen, a TV area with a SmartTV to enjoy Netflix etc, and a wall of windows to enjoy the ocean views, the nearby jungle and the amazing surroundings.
The master bedroom is also upstairs and has a king-size bed with a large en-suite bathroom with a walk-in shower and dual sinks, providing plenty of space with wonderful views.
The swimming pool and outdoor living space is an absolutely fantastic! There are lounge chairs to relax by the pool and a separate eating area/grill area all on the same level as the patio. Enjoy your morning coffee or evening cocktail with the sounds of toucans, scarlet macaws and howler monkeys. What makes our home so special is the observation deck, which puts you out into the jungle, allowing great views and animal encounters.
Uvita is one of the Central Pacific's best kept secrets. The beaches are beautiful, the hills are lush, wildlife is abundant and its the perfect place to surf, horseback ride or just relax.
