Ballena House | Pura Uvita - Whale's tail ocean view, modern home

2 Bedroom House in Ballena, Osa

Nestled in the mountains of Uvita with breathtaking views of the Whale’s Tail, this brand new house is surrounded by lush rainforest and is less than 2 miles away from town.
Wake up to the sound of toucans and enjoy your breakfast on the open kitchen island. Open the living room’s sliding doors to enjoy the ocean breeze and expansive ocean views. Jump into the pool and soak in the beauty of Costa Rica’s southern coastline. Whatever you choose to do, you can’t go wrong with Pura Uvita!
We fell in love with the location as soon as we saw the view. We had been looking for properties all over Costa Rica, and when we found this one, we immediately knew this was it. The beauty of the Osa peninsula is breathtaking and there are no words for describing how relaxing it is to be able to look right down at the whale’s tail from the comfort of your home all while in the middle of the rainforest. If you are looking for a true Costa Rican green-lush rainforest experience, the Osa peninsula is definitely the place to go.
The house was designed with a modern/industrial feel and boasts modern concrete and local wood finishes throughout. The two cedar trees that were cut to make room for the house were 100% utilized for closets, doors, and cabinets. Woods from other smaller trees were used throughout the construction process as well; our goal was to minimize waste as much as possible.
We strived to create a very open floor plan which is why you’ll find ultra high ceilings and will be able to literally open up the living room into the terrace, creating a large indoor/outdoor environment and allowing air to circulate throughout the house. The design of the ceiling along with strategic fan placement help keep the house at a very comfortable temperature so A/C is not necessary (although it is available in the bedrooms).
This is a 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom size designed to comfortably fit 4 people (2 persons per room), but it can accommodate up to 2-4 additional people (there are 2 sofa beds in the living room). There is high speed WiFi as well as a flat screen TV. The kitchen is stocked with all the utensils you need to cook. Linens and towels are provided as are shampoo, conditioner, and soap.
There is an infinity pool, a large terrace and a lounging deck which could also be used for yoga.
You will have access to the entire house and the pool. Access to the washer/dryer bodega is limited to the cleaning team and may be provided upon request.
You will be met by our host upon arrival to Uvita and you can reach us via phone or text throughout your stay.
The house is in the mountains overlooking Uvita and the Marino Ballena National park. Grocery store, bank, pharmacy, restaurants, beaches, and other conveniences are about a 10 min drive away.
A vehicle is highly recommended. ATV rentals available nearby.
Please keep in mind that you will need to drive on a dirt road and although it is well maintained a 4x4 vehicle is required since the last stretch of the road is steep.
Also, due to the beauty of the area, many people are wanting to move here (or come on vacation). As a result, there may be construction going on near or around the area. Construction is now common anywhere from Escaleras all the way down through Uvita and south of Ojochal.
The infrastructure in Costa Rica is impressive considering the remote locations that are served despite it's rugged terrain. However, because of the rugged terrain in Uvita, it is possible to experience power and water outages (for instance trees could fall on a power line and limbs/tree roots can crack a pipe). We do our best to minimize impact by equipoing the house with a battery back up that will keep the Internet running for up to 2 hours and water tanks to serve as a backup in the event of a water outage, but please be aware that outages could happen and might be out of our control.

Summary: My husband and I stayed a week at this gem of a property. The view is stunning and though we come to Costa Rica often, we saw the most wildlife here than any previous rentals. The location is awesome and it's quiet/peaceful. Andrea was wonderful to communicate with and Loren was super helpful when we had requests. We enjoyed the modern design and architectural aesthetic.
