Best and most expansive ocean views in Costa Rica! Year-round sunsets into the ocean! 4 person Jacuzzi / Hot Tub. This vacation rental home has location, location, location! Only five minutes from the Costanera/Highway to the house on a good mountain road (compared to other roads in the region). A convenient location in Costa Ballena, this home is 10 minutes to many of the most beautiful beaches in the area, 10 minutes to Uvita Town, and 10 minutes to the famous restaurants in Ojochal Town. Cooler temperatures with ocean and mountain breezes on this mountain top perch. Past guests consistently share that this home is a unique and special place that feels private, peaceful, and relaxing. You can see most of the major types of wildlife that people want to see in Costa Rica from the terrace. This is an awesome set up where you can have the full Costa Rica experience of ocean views, mountains, and jungle. This property truly has the best ocean views to road access ratio in the southern zone of Costa Rica. A rare find. An epic experience!
Enjoy seeing the entire southern coastline of Costa Rica from this tropical luxury home, including views of Sierpe (rivers running into the ocean), Drake Bay, the tip of the Osa Peninsula, Corcovado National Park, Caño Island, three sisters island, whale rock island, the famous Whales Tail view, Dominicalito, and Manuel Antonio National Park. This home has Costa Verde Estates style views, but is only 1/5 of the driving time and distance on a much easier and less critical road. With a 180Âș degree view of the Pacific coastline, they say that you can actually see the curve of the earth! Watch from the terrace and outdoor entertainment area as beautiful tropical birds fly by and land at eye level in the nearby trees, with the ocean views in the background. Birds like scarlet macaws, toucans, aracaris, green parrots, hawks, etc. Itâs amazing! You can also see white face monkeys, howler
monkeys, and sloths in the nearby jungle canopy.
This home is positioned where you get good ocean and mountain breezes, and the elevation is such that the temperature is much cooler and more comfortable than it is at sea level at the beaches. The property is located on the mountain behind the beaches of Marino Ballena National Park, which are some of the most beautiful and private beaches. This area is protected for wildlife on the land and marine life in the ocean. This is a special location and environment in the southern zone of Costa Rica.
The outdoor terrace area has a 180 degree coastline view! The large (48 foot long) infinity or zero edge pool is great for swimming laps for exercise, or for relaxing on a raft and floating while taking in the ocean views. There is also a four person Jacuzzi Spa Hot Tub with ocean views. In addition, there is an extra (third shower) outdoor shower with ocean and mountain views.
When relaxing on the couches by the pool and taking in the dynamic ocean views with clouds moving by and islands in the background, you feel like you are in paradise. If you are fortunate enough to experience the times when there are double rainbows and beautiful birds flying patterns with the islands in the background, you might feel like you are in heaven.
There is lush and colorful tropical landscaping throughout the grounds, including local plants that attract butterflies and hummingbirds. There are frequently beautiful hummingbirds and butterflies hovering on the flowers with the ocean views in the background. There is also a mature Ylang Ylang tree that often provides an amazing aroma throughout the house at sunset, when the winds switch and come from the mountain through the house. Enjoy watching a sunset with the fresh aroma and scent of Ylang Ylang flowing through the house!
This house is one of the few houses in the region that has a custom Juturna whole house water filtration system. The water source is a pristine waterfall in a remote part of the mountains far away from any development. This water then goes through the whole house filtration system before coming out of all of the faucets and showers on the property. This means that you can drink the water, and you do not have to use bottled water during your stay. All of the water on the entire property runs through this filtration system, so you are drinking and showering in some of the best water in the world. This is unique, because most of the houses in the region do not have this type of water filtration, and many of the vacation rental houses are situations where you have to use bottled water for everything. Itâs a lot more convenient not having to pick up and lug around large bottles of water. You can have peace of mind here that your water is healthy and safe.
The private gated entrance to the house has a large parking area with big mountain views and space for three or four cars. This house has a one level walk in entrance from the parking area.
The house can open up completely if you want an indoor outdoor feel with a cross breeze of fresh mountain air throughout all areas. It can also be closed up completely if there are times when you want a more indoor feel or you are leaving for the day for an adventure. Both master bedrooms have awesome ocean views (itâs debatable which bedroom has better ocean views), comfortable king size mattresses, and full bathrooms. In addition, there are two comfortable couches in the living room area that can sleep like single mattresses or be pushed together. Guests report that the couches are very comfortable for sleeping.
In the bedrooms, you can sleep with the sliding glass doors open (screens shut) to enjoy the cool mountain breeze and open air feel. Air conditioning is available in both bedrooms, but guests rarely feel like they want or need to use it.
The ocean view master bathroom was designed to feel like a spa experience. This shower can be indoor, or you can open the glass doors to have an outdoor shower experience. You can watch the sunset over the islands from the shower! Both indoor showers have rain water shower heads.

Walking and hiking along the road in the neighborhood is a wonderful experience where you can see hummingbirds, butterflies, and lots of nature and wildlife. You can walk down the mountain if you want a lot of elevation change and exercise. Alternatively, you can walk slightly up the mountain and along the flat ridge for an easier morning walk. The road in the neighborhood is a large loop, and you can do the whole loop if you are really up for a couple hours of exercise and elevation change.
More funâŠ
This is a birdwatchers paradise. Guests often report seeing more tropical birds from this house than they see in any other location during their Costa Rica trips.
You can see whales jumping out of the water on the ocean directly in front of the house in the area between the beach and the islands! This is where the whale watching boats go to see the humpback whales during whale season. There are binoculars if you want to have a closer look at the huge humpback whales coming out of the water during those times of the year.
This location has some of the most comfortable temperatures and the most pleasant environment in this region of Costa Rica. When you are immersed in the beautiful natural environment of this home, you can feel the cool breezes and temperatures, see the clouds and dynamic weather changes, breathe in the fresh mountain air, taste the pristine water sourced from nearby high elevation mountain waterfalls, and hear the soothing sounds of the jungle, rolling waves, and mountain streams. You will watch colorful butterflies, dragonflies, soaring birds, monkeys, and other wildlife in this lush green jungle landscape. Â This is truly one of the best places to experience the best of what Costa Rica has to offer.
