Great house but noisy surroundings
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…

This house is the perfect location for a beach vacation in Punta Uva. Check-in was a breeze but it helps to know there is a sign at the property with its name (ask the owner for it). There are a lot of restaurants in the area with plenty of transportation options. Check out the Jaguar rescue nearby (note: there are no jaguars there but plenty of other animals to learn about). We enjoyed having AC in the lower bedroom and hanging out on the upper balcony watching wildlife. Su and Alvaro were excellent hosts and helped us with a variety of needs. We can't want to come back. Just perfect.

Juan's place is beautifully landscaped right on the beach. Sue and Alvaro were very welcoming and helpful with any needs.We loved the location and the amount of wildlife we saw while staying there. It was very comfortable for our group of 7. I will definitely stay here again when in the area.

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.

Su ubicación es lo mejor. A menos de 50m de la mejor playa de la zona. Ni tan cerca de la playa lo cual brinda privacidad, pero ni tan lejos ya que caminando se tarda un minuto en llegar a la playa. Tanto los dueños como el personal a cargo siempre estuvo atento. Dentro de la propiedad vimos guatusas, perezosos y lapas verdes: IMPRESIONANTE. Volveremos sin duda alguna. Gracias Juan, Fannia, Sugey y Alvaro.

Beautiful home perfect beachfront location
Juan's home and our stay in Punta Uva was the best part of our entire trip in Costa Rica. It is directly across from a beautiful golden sand beach, quick walk to restaurants and a gelato truck, very short driving or biking distance to grocery stores. So convenient to the buzz of Puerto Viejo but far enough to feel more peaceful. So many beautiful flowers and wildlife on the property, clean modern home with perfect indoor/outdoor living. Plenty of seating room for our group of 8 (4 adults, 4 kids) and comfortable beds and private baths for everyone. The home is exactly as pictured but it's even more beautiful than it looks. Juan was very communicative and Su and Alvaro incredibly helpful and welcoming onsite. The kitchen is well equipped for cooking (even a blender for smoothies with local tropical fruits!) and we were thankful to be able to do some laundry onsite too. Can't recommend it highly enough and really hope to return someday!

Natural and beautiful
Waking up to so many sights and sounds was amazing. Something new every day. Beaches were gorgeous - reef in front has great snorkeling. Super clear water - visibility 30 feet down to see a huge stingray blinking eyes at me. Quirky town with some great food. Everyone is friendly and nice. Wonderful stay. Property manager was attentive and awesome.

Sehr schönes Haus, wirklich nur 50 Meter von Strand entfernt. Den Strand empfanden wir als einen der schönsten ist der Umgebung. Der direkt bei Puerto Viejo ist beispielsweise nicht so schön. Wir haben Brüllaffen und ein Faultier im Garten gesehen (allerdings auf sehr hohem Bäumen). Das Haus hat drei schöne Schlafzimmer und eine Außenkuche die zu einer Seite hin offen ist. Alvaro, der sich vor Ort um alles kümmert ist sehr nett. Er ist Koch und hat uns an einem Abend sogar etwas gekocht. Man sollte lediglich beachten, dass am Wochenende wirklich viele Einheimische zum Strand kommen und dann recht viel los ist. Wir sind beispielsweise Samstag Nachmittags angereist. Hier war die schmale Zufahrtsstraße derart blockiert, dass wir unseren Wagen 300 Meter vorher haben stehen lassen und ihn später erst geholt haben als sich der Stau gelegt hatte. Ansonsten wirklich sehr zu empfehlen !

Superbe maison
L’endroit est fabuleux. Nous avons passé de belles vacances en famille. Se réveiller aux sons des singes hurleurs et des vagues est tout simplement merveilleux. L’hôte est très réactif et me demande si j’ai besoin de quelque chose avant même que je lui demande. Sue et Alvaro qui s’occupe de la maison et qui habitent derrière sont très gentils et discrets. Ils nous aidé. Vraiment un endroit à recommander. Pura vida

Me gusto mucho la ubicación. El cierto de abajo precioso y con AC. Sin embargo los de arriba muy calientes y sin AC. El ventilador del cuarto de 2 camas no tiene nivel intermedio solo muy alto o muy bajo. Y no tienen puertas ni ventanas de Cedazo para poder ventilar. Igual en el ares común y cocina agregaría otro ventilador. El colchón del mismo cuarto un poco suave. Por lo demás todo muy bien.
