Holiday rentals with outdoor seating in Bahía Ballena

We found the location great: a small convenience store close by, good Mexican restaurant two blocks and beach four blocks away. Further: view restaurants 15-20’ in both directions; life-changing sanctuaries (Alturas) and wildlife preserves (Sierpe! Playa Tortuga!) 30-60’. Variety of surfing beaches from a walk to a drive away. Great couple renting boards right at the beach entrance so no need to carry them home. We loved the outdoor shower and especially the pool, heaven on a hot day or after a warm walk or hike. We loved taking an early morning “nature walk” to see monkeys and birds as they wake and look for breakfast. Real treats: Cherrie’s Tanagers, Morpho butterflies and especially the Howlers coming through the corridor next door at 4:45am. Tropical thunderstorms with frogs calling, enjoyed from the shelter of the terrace with lightning all around, rain splashing in the pool. The local Mercado with fabulous yogurt and smoothies, fruit and bread, Wed/Sat. House a sanctuary!

This place was incredible! Finding the house was a breeze due to Chris’s instructions. We were able to find it without any issues even in the dark. The house itself was the perfect size, had everything we needed, was clean, and had a beautiful atmosphere. There’s no AC but it honestly wasn’t an issue at all, there are plenty of fans to keep cool and the windows can be opened for fresh air. We also really enjoyed the outdoor setting, we spent a good amount of time on the back deck and in the pool. There was some cool wildlife to see around the house too! I have absolutely nothing poor to say about this place and would highly recommend!! Chris was very responsive and helped with any questions/concerns we had. If we were to ever travel back to Costa Rica, I wouldn’t hesitate to come back to this place!

Had a great time! Was the perfect place for our family to spend a couple of days. Close to restaurants and the National Parque Ballena Marina.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Fantastic, home,host,town,views,wildlife sightings, hands down one of the best locations we’ve ever stayed. Secluded but still plenty to do. Book this- you will not be disappointed. Enjoyed the adventure, and we highly recommend. Pictures are great but everything is even better in person. The house has everything you need! Plus more! -Pura Vida

Excellent option. Place is like new. How is very responsive.

A perfect place to share with family. Everything is super quiet, surrounded by nature, and with that rich sound of the forest that makes you disconnect. The house is comfortable and the kitchen was very well equipped, it had everything we needed. We feel very comfortable!

Everything is described. We had a great time. Thank you.

We absolutely loved our stay at Casa Selvatica! Nestled deep in the jungle, this villa is the perfect escape into nature—peaceful, remote, and full of magic. The views are stunning, and we were lucky to spot monkeys swinging through the trees right from the pool. The villa itself is beautifully designed and fully equipped with everything we needed. It’s stylish, comfortable, and felt like a luxurious retreat. One of my favorite memories was relaxing in the pool with a glass of wine, just listening to the sounds of the jungle and watching wildlife all around us. If you're looking for a unique and serene experience, this place is a hidden gem. We had an amazing time and would return in a heartbeat. Highly recommend!

We loved this Airbnb! If you’re planning to spend time in Dominical, this location is perfect. Steps to the beach, steps to restaurants and bars…perfect. The unit was clean, comfortable, and quiet at night. Communication with Teri was fantastic. Her check-in instructions were, by far, the most detailed I have seen. Lovely pool, bikes were a nice touch. All in all, a 5-star Airbnb.

I couldn’t be happier with this Airbnb!! My husband and I booked Brian & Karla’s Casita for a week to enjoy our honeymoon. I wish we’d booked it even longer. This place has a way of making you feel completely unplugged from society, all the while being as modern as it gets. Pictures don’t do it justice! The wrap around balcony was perfect for evening sunsets, and the inside of the Casita was a perfect place to relax after adventuring Costa Rica. The Casita is a short drive down the mountain to Dominical, which has tons of local restaurants - Brian’s recommendations were spot on! You are also super close to Nuayaca Waterfalls, Uvita, and Manuel Antonio! Brian is an amazing host and quickly responded whenever we had questions. Him and his wife even made us dinner one night. We highly recommend this airbnb and we would book at Brian’s 1000x over! Pura Vida

this place was amazing, little private spot, the outdoor shower was a plus

The hostess is very kind and communicative. The beautiful place, a great view of the sea, very tidy, clean, very quiet, the beautiful nature.

Our stay at this property was absolutely incredible, with a breathtaking view! The room was clean, beautifully decorated, and well-equipped. The concierge was welcoming, and we appreciated for a hot shower and fresh towels. The pool area was stunning and well-maintained.However, there are a few areas that could be improved. It good to have coffee or tea for guest, and we were surprised to find there was no iron. Additionally, some house rules were unexpected, such as the prohibition on drones and no BBQs, despite them being shown in the photos. Although the balcony is shared with other guests, we were fortunate to have it mostly to ourselves. The bar chairs on the balcony were not very comfortable, and there was only one patio chair for the two of us. We also felt a bit uncomfortable with the presence of several cameras on the property, including one right of our apartment. Despite these minor issues, our overall experience was fantastic! We would definitely stay again!

Great AirBnB room in a hotel complex. Very great and large balcony with great views over the garden and the sea. In the middle of animals and wonderful vegetation. Great hotel trails and very nice pool area. Very good food and friendly staff. Very quick response to questions and very helpful hints. Highly recommended !

Fantastic place to stay in Uvita service is incredible place is great vibes are even better!

This was our first time visiting Costa Rica and Steve’s place is definitely a hidden gem. I love how kind the caretakers are, especially little baby Copito! The area is absolutely stunning, the AC and washing machine work perfectly and having a dryer was an added bonus. The whole vibe of the place was very relaxing, luxurious and very very beautiful. There was a small issue with the water on our first night there and within a few hours, the issue was promptly fixed. I really appreciate the kindness, attentiveness & beautiful grounds!

Good value, and helpful host. Would stay again

Above all it was excellent We were surprised to arrive and see such a beautiful, tidy, organized and clean place, the pool is quite deep (about 1.70cm since I measure 1.47 and did not reach the bottom) Which is quite comfortable to swim at ease and dive for a while, the kitchen is very well equipped⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ With Victor I did not have to wait 2 minutes for him to respond, he always gave with the result of my inquiries, and Gabriela undoubtedly to some very kind and attentive to our needs, the place is just as in the photos, close to beaches and the place is very quiet to take a walk, go to eat, beach and even waterfalls(10 minutes by car) I recommend it quite a bit, in short we will come back some day⭐⭐⭐⭐

Very nice and large accommodation. The kitchen was well equipped and a large bathroom. Recommended.

I came for a yoga and meditation retreat. This was the perfect 1 bedroom home to base myself, kitchen to cook each day, nice hill to go for morning walking and hikes, large lounge and balcony to practice my morning yoga. Good internet to do my work at the computer. Good air conditioning to keep cool when in the house. Lizzet was always responsive and helpful. High recommend.

I had a wonderful , comfortable stay here. I highly recommend this place. I booked last-minute and Jaime was promptly responsive. Easy self-check-in, with clear instructions. Everything was perfect, I had everything I needed. Great cozy bed, covered secure parking inside a gate, nice little pool, great spacious deck. I can’t say enough good things about this space.

We enjoyed our time in Uvita! The space was comfortable! Marlène was prompt in responding! The pool was fabulous after our adventures on hot days! The location was great! 15 minute casual walk to Marina Ballena National Park (The Whale’s Tail)! I would definitely stay here again when in the area!

This location gave an excellent view of the surrounding area. Waking up to a wall-sized window viewing the beautiful countryside was lovely.

We loved our stay! This condo is perfectly located between the path to the pools and the path to the beach. The condo was very clean and well equipped and looks just like the pictures. Great communication with the management company. There was security and it felt very safe and quiet. Would definitely recommend staying here!
