Our goal is to make your trip to Costa Rica enjoyable and as relaxing as you want it to be. The home is located in Ballena, just south of Uvita. Uvita is one of the Central Pacific's best kept secrets. The beaches are beautiful, the hills are lush, wildlife is abundant and its the perfect place to surf, horseback ride or just relax. There are wonderful restaurants, banks, grocery stores, bakeries and several National Parks. If you are looking for a beautiful beach destination that is far less developed than Manuel Antonio, Uvita is a fantastic alternative. The highlight is Marino Ballena National Park, featuring the famous sandy "Whale Tail" where migrating humpback whales can be seen just offshore. You can whale watch, dolphin watch or snorkel. Uvita also makes a great base for exploring Dominical (12 miles North) which is a fun, funky hippie and counterculturist enclave with great shops, dining, live music, candlelight yoga, spas, bars and beach. The tiny town of Ojochal is 9 miles to the South and is known as one of the best foodie town in Costa Rica. Ojochal also offers easy access to Playa Ventanas, a small and beautiful beach famous for its sea caves. For those who enjoy golfing, the southern pacific’s only golf course, Osa Golf Course, is an easy 20 minute drive south. Ballena Bliss Estate is a private property with no shared spaces. Guests will have the exclusive use of the entire property and the swimming pool.

Our stay was excellent from start to finish. The house is beautiful, well maintained, and was spotless when we arrived. The views are spectacular, the kind you just sit and stare at for a while with a cup of coffee. The kitchen is really well equipped with everything you need to cook, and the common areas are great for relaxing or hanging out together. Getting to the property was easy, no complications. The host was very attentive and replied quickly every time we reached out. The house guide book deserves a special mention: it's super complete, clear, and answers pretty much any question before you even have it. Everything was great. We definitely recommend it and would love to come back. Response: Christian, thank you so much for your thoughtful review and 5-star rating! We’re so glad to hear that you had an excellent stay at Ballena Bliss in Uvita and enjoyed the beautiful views, well-equipped kitchen, comfortable common areas, and easy access to the property. We’re especially happy to know that our communication and house guide helped make your stay smooth and stress-free. Thank you as well for your recommendation — it truly means a lot to us.
