'Ginger & Cacao" is perfect for individual vacations, family gatherings, small wedding parties and honeymoons.

The property has large open areas where each house has its own space and privacy, and each one is unique.

Sunlight and a sense of lightness define the White Cottage.
The cottage is build under huge trees and next to the pool, facing East for terrific ocean views, and to catch the ocean breeze. Large verandas make this place perfect to relax after a long day at the beach. French windows bring light, and the green of the surrounding jungle inside. Its white interior complemented by teak wood wall and art, truly reflect the owner’s ideas for beach comfort. The open floor layout allows for easy and comfortable indoor-outdoor living. The cottage has well defined rest area with queen size bed and a sofa, and kitchen - dining area. The kitchen is fully equipped, with dishwasher including. The dining area has dining table for 4.
The full bath and the walk-in closet are quite spacious. The cottage is air-conditioned. As an option, and for personal preferences, we have ceiling fans in each space of the cottage. Mosquito screens are installed on every window. Free WiFi and cable TV are included.

There is a safe deposit box installed in the walk-in closet. Please secure all your valuables, and lock all doors and windows before leaving the cottage. WE ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY PERSONAL LOSS!

The cottage uses a shared parking below the pool area.

The property’s two villas Ginger and Cacao are located at the opposite side of the pool area. High ceilings, hardwood floors, massive wooden doors, and large decks complete the villas’ elegant furnishings.

Villa Cacao has fantastic ocean, and jungle views from all rooms. It has one master suit with en-suite full bath, with indoor and outdoor showers. The fully equipped kitchen has a bar that connects it with the large ocean view deck. The sitting area is beautifully furnished with two individual sofa beds that set for comfortable sleeping. This part of the villa has its own full bath.
The villa shares the parking bellow the cottage. A private path takes you to the beautiful pool area.

Villa Ginger is nested into the surrounding jungle with views of it from every single window and deck. The villa has two air conditioned bedrooms with queen size beds, one full bathroom with jungle views, fully equipped kitchen with dining area, porch and two decks. The large front deck has a comfortable sitting, and dining area under umbrellas. Ginger has its own parking space at the front. A minute walk on paved path will take you to the pool area.

The beautiful pool area, surrounded by jungle and landscaped gardens, includes a pool pavilion with swinging daybeds, and a leisure area with chaises and umbrellas. The pool area is the perfect spot to see large families of capuchin and howling monkeys raiding the treetops, and to observe the amazing toucans on nearby fruit trees.

The property is interesting to explore. It consists of authentic tropical jungle with bromelia gardens added around each house, and plants with lots of colors and fragrance. The numerous cacao trees and ginger plants inspired the name, “Ginger & Cacao”.

The property is maintained by caretakers. For your service and convenience, they reside in a separate cottage on the property grounds by the gate.

"Ginger & Cacao” is perfectly located at just short walk to Punta Uva Beach, one of the most striking in Costa Rica. A rare place still kept as natural as possible, with a minimum negative impact of over-development. Here is where the jungle meets the white sand beach with its emeralds waters and the almond trees to provide a natural shade. It’s not crowded and is safe for swimming, kayaking and snorkeling.

In Punta Uva one feels the complete connection with nature. There is nothing more beautiful than to get on a bicycle and go for an early morning ride to Gandoca- Manzanillo Wildlife Refuge. At this time of the day, there is so much life and activity in the jungle. Howling monkeys call from the tree tops, butterflies and birds fly around searching for food.
Punta Uva is a very private area, removed from the traffic and congestion in areas closer to Puerto Viejo. There are a few excellent restaurants, and grocery stores. Within only a 10 min drive, if you choose, you can quickly get to Puerto Viejo.

At night, the action happens in Puerto Viejo. It might look a bit shabby, but give it some time and it will grow on you. At night, the somewhat sleepy village turns vibrant, full of life and music, with the smell of food coming from all directions. Ocean-front bars blast reggae and calypso. Shops stay open till late hours.

The White Cottage, individually and as part of the “Ginger & Cacao” property, offers an elegant and safe place to stay in the jungle, and more importantly, it invites you for memorable experience of theCaribbean Costa Rica.

Hope to see you soon!

Best,

Zvezda

The property is beautiful! Our stay was perfect! We heard howler monkeys and saw macaw flying overhead. The beach that's a short walk away is breathtaking and pretty private. The town has a ton of little shops and cafés and restaurants to explore. I highly recommend this place to everyone. It's a little slice of paradise.

Absolutely a picture of paradise. The grounds are lush and well maintained, the location felt very private even though you were steps away from the beaches and restaurants. Cesar, the caretaker went above and beyond and rescued us when we got in super late because of a flight delay and had trouble finding the property. The host contacted him and he was able to escort us to the cabin. Communication with host was excellent. We spent 11 days and did not want to leave! The previous rave reviews held true and this property was everything and more.

I ran out of propane while cooking supper, then contacted Jose at the gate and he brought a full bottle up within a few minutes. Excellent perception on the behalf of the host. The grounds are beautifully landscaped and the birds are especially plentiful. Outstanding property and host.

This property is beautiful, lush, private and serene. Nearly everything needed was at our fingertips. We give an A for almost everything. We would give a C- for communication from Zvezda: directions to the place were indecipherable, she answered us hours after we reached out to her etc. We would also give C- on the upkeep of the house and the grounds: Twice I tried to open the curtains, only to have the curtain rod land on my face or feet, our refrigerator door fell off, the hanging beds weren't safe enough for us to use during our stay. All that said, if there was more attention given to us as guests and maintenance and upkeep of everything, we would stay here again in a heartbeat!

A Caribbean Hideaway

My partner and I spent a week at the White Cottage... aka Ginger & Cacao. It was exactly what we were looking for and needed. The property really is carved out of the jungle and the gardens surrounding the cottage are absolutely beautiful. It was very clear to us that there was considerable thought in both designing and maintaining the gardens. We also loved being able to see an incredible number of birds, monkeys, agutis, and other animals. The cottage itself has a beautiful verandah that overlooks the gardens and pool area. It was perfect for sitting outside and relaxing... anytime of day. The cottage interior is quaint, quirky, and roomy. The local area is wonderful with beautiful beaches and restaurants. That said, you can easily spend an entire day relaxing poolside. We would like to especially mention the excellent service and attention that the caretaker, César, provided throughout our stay. He greeted us warmly when we arrived, was very responsive, and super friendly.

Beautiful Oasis in the Jungle

We celebrated our 30th anniversary here & what an amazing adventure it was! We were greeted at the gates by Jose, his wife Carolina & their two kitties & they toured us through the property & made sure we were settled right away. The place is beautiful with a lovely pool and stunning views. We walked on our first evening to get dinner on the road below. The road to the property is a little steep so make sure to feel capable before trying it on foot & we would recommend a four wheel drive. Following the first day, we rented bicycles or a scooter nearly every day & visited most of the beaches in the area. It is a lovely ride to Punta Uva, Manzanillo, Puerto Viejo, & Cahuita Park for only $30 USD a day by scooter or about $14USD for two bikes. Such fun! The food in the area was amazing, many, many options & it was wonderful to visit w/Jose & Carolina at the end of our days out & about or relax in the pool in privacy as no one was in the other houses most of our stay. The howler monkeys were shocking on our first night but we quickly began to love the sounds of them in the nearby trees. We saw every kind of animal we were hoping to see on the property & we were able to get great pics & videos, except for the toucans would never stop long enough for us to take their pics. We cannot say enough about the kindness of the caretakers. We were even able to meet the owner Zvezda as she visited for a couple of days—she was very kind & lovely as well. Highly recommend!!!!

A cottage in paradise

We are sad to be leaving the white cottage after 4 nights here. This place is a gem in walking distance to a beautiful beach across the street. (Steep gravel road but totally doable) corner store and a couple of restaurants you can also walk to. We saw agoutis, green macaws, howler monkeys, a back and green poison dart frog, other frogs, a golden orb spider, hummingbirds, toucans, and various other birds just from the porch! The cottage itself is out of a fairy tale and has every detail you could need. Not many places we’ve stayed here has this. Pool is lovely and the gazebo has great hanging beds and sitting areas. Pablo and his girlfriend were wonderful and although we didn’t meet the owner she was always an email away with any information. I would highly recommend this place to a couple or there are two other places to rent on the property which would suit a family. An adorable cat kept us company outside as we listened to the wildlife. You should have a 4x4 to access property. We went to Pita Bonita, soul surfer, el Refugio and bread and chocolate so far which were all excellent. Wish we had booked our entire stay here but so happy we had the chance to enjoy the piece of paradise this place is. I’ll add that the ocean view in the distance is lovely and you can hear the surf.. The area is a cool vibe, different from the Pacific, which we liked and loved Cahuita National Park and the Jaguar Rescue Centre is an absolute must - best sloth experience ever!!!!! Pura Vida!

Beautiful property and amazing host!

This property was everything we wanted for our first trip to Costa Rica! The property was great and we felt very safe with the gated entrance and on-site caretakers. We saw some cool animals on the property, including poison dart frogs! The beach was close enough to ride bikes to, which we did with bikes we rented at the bottom of the hill from the property. It was very quiet and quaint with the feeling of being in the jungle, but the luxuries of being in a beautiful home close to town. We highly recommend this property if you are considering the Caribbean side of the country!

Paradise on Earth

This place in incredible. The garden alone is worth the price of the stay. On the first day, we saw monkeys, toucans, and capybara from the porch! This home is straight out of a fairy tale, it’s so hard to fully grasp it’s beauty. It’s actually better than the pictures if you can believe it. The location is quiet and perfectly centered near multiple, extremely gorgeous beaches (that folks who stay in town would have to travel to). There are also local markets ( and bike rentals) very close so you won’t have to eat out everyday! The neighborhood feels genuine and local and isn’t overrun with tourist attractions, which we really appreciated. Svezda, the owner was very patient with us (as our plans changed during the pandemic). She was timely and responsive, and always there for any question we had. More so, we absolutely adore the caretakers of this property. They felt like family to us and just radiated care. We felt very safe here. I would ask, that if you are considering a stay here: please treat this place (and those who care for it) gently and with respect. I want nothing more than than the preservation of this heaven for others ( and hopefully myself again) to experience. Pura Vida

Beautiful and serene

The unit itself was super beautiful and calming. Two big ceiling fans help keep a breeze going. Windows were mostly blocked by art/statues but a few were able to be opened, tho the curtains were a bit of a chore to navigate. During a thunderstorm we lost power but there was a flashlight handy. When I checked in, they took us through all three buildings for us to choose which we wanted to stay in which was curious. After driving 5 hours from San Jose, I didn’t really want to be making any choices. The driveway to get up to the unit is treacherous. Super steep and at a crazy angle with the poorly maintained dirt road. We had two cars - a sedan and a 4x4. Both made it up but was definitely easier in a 4x4. Addresses here in general are tricky but the owner was able to send a Waze location. Only a 5 mins walk from the beach but again, super steep hill so be mindful of that. Overall, it was a great last minute getaway for a night or two.

Private Paradise

My wife and I stayed in the white cottage for 10-days and it was an incredible experience. Despite the pool being shared by the two other rentals on the gated property we never ran into the other guests and everyone was very respectful of our cottage's privacy. The open studio layout of the cottage seemed interesting from the photos, and after 10-days of living in it we were obsessed with the design and layout. This villa is a dream stay and I could not recommend it more. Also, Zvezda was very attentive and answered all questions immediately. Also, we met this adorable black cat which we named Jaguar. We believe she was the neighbors, but after petting her for a good hour one night, she became our best friend. We would go out for the day and when we returned she would meow from the jungle to let us know she was there. If you stay at this villa and you see our little friend, please give her some head scratches from us! One tip for those trying to work from this villa: the wifi is shared with one other house on the property. If you find your internet is slow, there is a 5-minute walk down the hill and to the left to a cafe called "Tostas" with super fast internet always. The owners are friendly, the smoothies are refreshing, and the food is incredible for breakfast or lunch. Anyway, my wife and I absolutely recommend this stay. We plan on coming back to this villa every time we return to Costa Rica!
