This property was absolutely amazing. Helena was amazing to work with and went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable and answer our questions. The property is incredible we saw white face monkeys, squirrel monkeys, macaws, toucans, and so much more. It is very private. The backyard is a dream and our family had so much fun in the pool. Thank you for providing us with such a wonderful place to stay.

La casa tiene las gradas hacia la segunda planta por fuera de la casa en tiempo de lluvia no es conveniente aunque hay un techo, no da privacidad, el baño está fuera de la casa en la primera planta esto es muy inconveniente también, no lo recomiendo si vas con niños. El fregadero está con daño por corrosión huele mal como a metal, los llavines de la casa están viejos cuesta meter la llave, los portones de la casa no son eléctricos es incómodo estar bajándose del carro para abrir y cerrar al salir de la propiedad. La vista del lugar es hermosa pero esta casa requiere modernización para ser más recomendable. Response: Vanessa, thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re glad you enjoyed the beautiful views at Casa Hermosa in Uvita. We’re sorry that some aspects of the home did not fully meet your expectations. The property’s layout, including the exterior staircase and bathroom configuration, is part of the home’s original design and is reflected in the listing photos and description so guests can review it before booking. The covered staircase is commonly used without issue, although we understand that personal preferences can vary, especially when traveling with children. Regarding the maintenance items you mentioned, our team has reviewed the sink, faucets, and other details raised in your comments to ensure everything remains functional and properly maintained. The entry gates are manual, which is also part of the property setup. We appreciate your comments and will continue working to keep Casa Hermosa comfortable and well maintained for future guests.

We simply loved everything! If we could, we would give you 10 stars. The booking was super easy, the communication fast and very friendly, helpful and absolutely nice. The house is fantastic, there is so much space, it’s clean, the rooms are lovely, the bathrooms outstanding beautiful (you can look in the jungle from the shower), the kitchen supply is welcoming to cook on your own and it’s peaceful, quiet, wonderful relaxing. You are very fast in Uvita and there is so much you can do. Also you don’t need a 4x4, it’s easy to get there. Don’t follow Google! You get the best direction with the host.

The place was beautiful and peaceful. You can see the canopy and ocean right off the balcony. We enjoyed the area, pool, and large living spaces. OSA Property Management was responsive and helpful through the entire stay. The advice I have is to anyone with limited mobility or medical conditions. It is a multi-level home with the bedrooms upstairs. I brought my 72 yr old sister with my family. Although she handled it well, the rest of us were concerned for her going up and down. She also has diabetes. In the case that her blood sugar dropped in the middle of the night, she would have to go downstairs to get food or drink. I guess you could keep a small cooler in the bedroom. Other than that, it was AMAZING! Response: Thank you so much, Katrina, for the wonderful 5-star review! We’re delighted that Casa Hermosa felt beautiful and peaceful, with the canopy and ocean views from the balcony, the pool, and the large living spaces all making your stay special. We’re also glad our team was responsive and helpful throughout your stay, including when the oven and internet concerns came up in your private note. Thank you as well for the thoughtful advice about the multi-level layout. Casa Hermosa has its bedrooms upstairs, and we appreciate you flagging this so future guests with limited mobility or medical needs can plan accordingly. Your cooler suggestion is a great tip, and we’ll be sure our team shares it with guests who may benefit from keeping snacks or drinks close at hand overnight. We’re so happy you and your family, including your sister, enjoyed it. Pura Vida!
