Wonderful

We were able to have an early check-in, which was fantastic and the fresh fruit on the counter felt so welcoming! We enjoyed the house, the location and the pool! We were close to the grocery store, great restaurants and of course, the beach which we loved! We felt safe and prepared with flashlights when the power went out (often).
Great location for family vacation. Close to beaches, restaurants and shops. Clean and safe location. Furnishings are a bit spartan, but a nice kitchen. Property management was very good and professional.

Highly Recommend!
We had a fantastic stay! The house was cleaner than expected, had all the amenities we needed, air con worked well, the pool was so nice to have (and clean!), it was perfect. Communication with Osa Property Management was top notch leading up to the stay and during the stay. I would absolutely stay here and/or in other homes offered by OPM again.

We loved the house! Incredibly clean and well-stocked with everything we needed for the week. The A/C and pool were key to keeping our temperatures in check during the hot humid weather this week. The location was fine but would have been nice to be able to walk into the main part of town, but seemed none of the roads went through and the area down by the beach is very muddy and overgrown during the rainy season. Also several of the businesses down by Playa Chamán weren’t open due to the low season, so we didn’t have as many options as we’d expected. However those that were open were great (La Choza, La Colonia, Mareas market). Loved that they had ample beach and bath towels and beach chairs for our use at the house. The washer/dryer worked great as well, which was so nice to keep up with dirty beach towels. We also loved the tours that our host set up for us- Isla de Cano and Uvita paradise zip lines and waterfall tour. We did a wonderful surf lesson with ColoTico surfing as well.

Perfect Stay
Great home. Walkable to a few good restaurants and the beach. Construction next door took away from the daytime relaxation. They were metal framing the entire stay but we found ways to work around it.
Nice, everything you need plus! Simple walk to Playa Ballena National Parc.

Not what we expected
The house itself was ok. There was only place to eat for 3 people which was a problem for us as a family of 4. But it was quite well equipped. It was more than a 5 minute walk to the beach but it was convenient to many places in Uvita.
Our biggest problem was with the property management company. They were absolutely unresponsive to problems we had and when/if they did respond it was to let us know that nobody else had problems so it must have been just us. The master bath has some plumbing issues - standing water, immensely slow shower drain and as a result there was a massive mosquito infestation in the master bath. We killed a minimum of 30-40 mosquitos in the bathroom on a daily basis. We reached out to property management to let them know and never heard back. If I could offer advice, find a different management company to use that may be actually respond to issues.

Not what you could expect
Casa Big Sky is advertised as having ocean view, well, it doesn't have. It is advertised being a five minute walk from the beach, count for 10-15
It is located directly at the road, therefore noisy
All the rest is perfect, interior design, equipment of the kitchen, very clean and very friendly local staff
