About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Entire house-Whale Tail/Ocean Views, Pool! Casita avail to rent for add'l fee

Casa Bambu is a 1 bedroom home situated on 1.5 acres with amazing views and an infinity pool. For guests who rent the main house a separate studio casita is also available for an additional fee (suitable for 1 to 2 adults or teenagers). The property has breathtaking views of the Pacific Ocean, white water beaches, Ballena Marine Park and at a distance – Cano Island and the Osa Peninsula.

The custom house is tropical design, structural bamboo vaulted ceilings and local exotic hardwoods. Unique and charming – the property sits at an elevation of 1100 ft (300 meters) – keeping the house cool and fresh during the day, with mountain downdrafts to cool at night.

A full kitchen with a gas BBQ, bathroom, living area, laundry and covered patio – all on the main floor. (The covered patio is a great for viewing songbirds, parrots, toucans, and aracaris as they visit the mango tree - not to mention the direct view of the Whales Tale and the Bahia.)

On the lower level - a spacious master bedroom with King size bed and incredible ocean views. Offering A/C, quality linens, privacy, and large en-suite, along with a walk-in closet with a safe. Patio doors lead you to a private terrace where your infinity pool awaits.

The house was designed for couples - offering the perfect amount of detail to create an escape from the everyday life of the northern hemisphere. Ideal for honeymooners, personal life celebrations, birders, those who just want to get away from the busy-ness of daily life. This property is serene, but full of plant, bird and tropical life!

You will have the whole house and grounds to yourself. The casita will not be rented during your stay at Casa Bambu.

WiFi at the house is very stable and fast Fiber Optic internet. There is a smart TV in the living room that can be used for streaming and watching movies. There is a washer and dryer at the house for the guests to use. Because the house sits at 1100 ft elevation, guests enjoy cool mountain breezes; however, we have installed air conditioning in the bedroom which can be used for a minimal additional charge based on usage and and the electric meter reading for your actual stay. Most guests who use the AC only use it to cool down the bedroom in the evening and have not gone over the budgeted allowance for electricity.

Access to this property is along an incredible jungle road. (It does have a couple of steep sections to it and requires a 4WD SUV.) The house is about a 15 minute drive from town up a mountain road. There is a locked gate to enter the property. Stairs lead you from the parking area down to the front door and continue down to the bedroom on the lower level. There are security cameras for the entrances and driveway to the property. There are no cameras in the house or pool area.

Our property manager, Trina – will meet you in town and escort you to the property. Check in is between 3 pm and 8 pm and check out is 10 am.
During your stay at this holiday home, you'll be within walking distance of Catarata uvita. You'll find features such as an outdoor pool, concierge services and laundry facilities. Enjoy your stay with amenities like free WiFi and a private pool in the holiday home.

Casa Bambu is in a beautiful location, private, high in the mountains with stunning ocean and whale tail views. The support staff were friendly, communicated well and helpful with check in and check out. The property is clean, well maintained and perfect for a romantic getaway, until you want to go out. The drive up and down the mountain is the only negative. A capable 4x4 is a must as well as 4x4 driving skills. If you want to be way of the beaten path and be able to look down at soaring condors, watch macaws fly by your pool and many other types of birds, listen to the sounds of the ocean surf and watch the beautiful sunset and sunrise sky from your bed or pool, Casa Bambu cannot be beat.

Casa Bambu - Home Away from Home

Casa Bambu was a great home base for our stay in Uvita. The property had amazing views and was secluded yet close enough for us to get to all the activities we had planned. Trina and Jorge were very responsive and helpful throughout our stay. We would definitely recommend Casa Bambu for your stay in Uvita!

Perfect Uvita Stay

This was the perfect place to spend a few days in Uvita! Located right in the town, it is close to everything but secluded in the hills with amazing views. The house was stocked with all of the essentials, and was a comfortable stay. Communicated with the hosts was great throughout our stay. Would definitely recommend this home for anyone traveling to the area!

Unforgettable Experience

Amazing view of the jungle and whale’s tail from the balcony. Very secluded and clean property. The bird watching from the property was also top tier (bring binoculars, you won’t regret it). AC in the bedroom worked very well for a comfortable sleep. You will NEED a 4X4 if driving yourself up the mountain to the property!

Relaxing in the mountains

This house is a perfect getaway for two- it's romantic, has amazing views, and Jacqui (and Trina, who manages it when Jacqui is away) were wonderful to work with. We had a wonderful time! Just be ready for 4x4 driving - our rental car lady in San Jose said we wouldn't really need 4x4, and she was way wrong!

We stayed at casa bambu for our honeymoon and could not have been happier with our choice. The property was beyond beautiful, private, clean, and just right for a couple to stay. Listen to the host about getting a 4x4 car for the long drive up. The owner and property management were both very responsive to questions before and during our stay. Thank you Peg, Trina & Jorge!

privacy and beauty in Uvita

Exceptional value, Decorated nicely. Wildlife, pristine views. All of the Whales Tail, in Uvita, is visable. Our favorite memory is going to sleep and waling up to the sound of monkeys and toucans. The road to the mtn. top is challenging for most, but worth the effort. Trina took care of everything to make our visit perfect. We look forward to our return. Internet is not dependable, a hot spot is helpful.

Holiday in the JUNGLE!! 5 Stars!!

Amazing time in Costa Rica! The property is located in the middle of the jungle with amazing views!! This is the first property I stayed at in Costa Rica that had actual screens on the doors and windows that worked! So no worries about any insects or animals getting into the house. The house is extremely clean and well maintained. The property manager is also amazing. She can answer any questions you have and point you in the right direction. She lives a few mins away and checked in with me a few times during my stay. Definitely an amazing time!!
