It was a beautiful location with a responsive team. The pool was cleaned regularly and sparkled. The biggest challenge was that the WiFi was spotty and made working remotely difficult.

Fantastic location, remote, quiet, private, surrounded by nature. The house isn’t the newest, but it is clean and provides all amenities required for a family/group of six.

Très beaux extérieurs pour cette villa au coeur de la jungle où nous avons eu la chance de voir et d’entendre des animaux.
Quelques petits bémols qui sont la difficultés l’aménagement des pièces du rez de chaussée offrant peu d’intimité pour la salle de bain et l’humidité importante au sein du logement.

Thank you for taking the time to write a review Diane. The Owners are looking at a remodel to provide more privacy. Sorry about that. In terms of humidity – all of the bedrooms have A/C and the home is located in the tropical rain forest of Costa Rica, during the rainy season, so humidity should be expected this time of year and throughout the year really. Thanks again for staying with us. Keep in touch! Pura Vida! Osa Property Management

Beautiful home and location. You're fully in the middle of the jungle. FYI there is only a curtain (no door) for the downstairs bathroom which is next to the 3 bedrooms and living room.
Response:
We're sorry you didn't have a 5-star experience (even though you rated every element of the stay as 5-stars). The Owner's Suite is upstairs and is the entire top floor.
We enjoyed our stay very much!
Steve
The place was just like it looked in the pictures. It's set in the jungle with a nice view of the Pacific Ocean in the distance. We loved all the outdoor seating areas and listening to the wildlife. The house was clean and well furnished and the pool was clean also.

Beautiful location. Short ride into town. Saw many different birds, frogs, and howler monkeys on 2 occasions. Howler monkeys came right along the house and up the driveway.

We absolutely loved our stay here. It was paradise. The minute we arrived my son spotted a sloth up a tree and a group of monkeys in the jungle. He was shaking with excitement! It was so lovely just sitting on the balconies watching all the wildlife and looking at the spectacular views. The house was amazing too. Definitely one of the best places we’ve ever stayed in and we were all sad to leave.
Response:
David, Thank you for your great 5-star review! We’re happy to hear that your stay at our Uvita property was a slice of paradise. The image of your son’s excitement spotting a sloth and monkeys is heartwarming, and we’re thrilled the balconies offered such a front-row seat to the jungle’s wildlife and stunning views. We love it when Guests enjoy the property and appreciate everything Costa Rica has to offer. It was a pleasure hosting your family, and all of us at Osa Property Management can’t wait to welcome you back for more unforgettable moments in Costa Rica.
Pura vida! The Osa Property Management Team

AMAZING Property! Was the primary stop on our visit to Costa Rica. The home felt like our own resort. Backyard is amazing, just like the pictures. First heard a howler monkey on day one. Then saw him climbing the tree behind pool. AMAZING. Saw many more animals including a Coati. We named him Oscar. Friendly guy that might get within 15 feet of you but then runs off. Saw toucan, parrot, many more including an owl. Bring your 4x4 and maybe let Grandma have a downstairs bedroom. The master bed is AMAZING. I did not want to leave. The host is super helpful too. Visit the bakery at the bottom of the hill. Not market well, but super good. We did not try the new American looking bakery next to the old one. We wanted an authentic experience. Bring sun screen. You will burn much quicker than in Denver, Florida, etc. The famous whale tail beach is about 10 minutes away.

This property was very clean and the grounds were well maintained. We loved being semi secluded with so much wildlife around to listen to while relaxing on the multiple decks. While driving up the mountain seemed challenging at first it is well worth it and easy to get used to. The surrounding areas are full of activities and the beaches are beautiful. We would definitely recommend this property.

Absolutely wonderful stay. We loved the setting, we were able to thoroughly relax and enjoy our surroundings. We got good use of the pool, saw a pack of monkeys this morning right outside, and the view and surroundings were wonderful. The host was very responsive and helpful. The house had great provisions - beach towels and mats, great hang out space, great kitchen.
Great jungle home
Lisa
Love this place so much. The wall to ceiling windows make you feel like you are up in the trees. The pool is private and is a lovely place to relax in the jungle. Love to watch the monkeys, sloth and toucans from the pool and the upper patio. We will be back for sure!

We stayed 8 nights, it is a very beautiful property surrounded by lush jungle. We had tons of wildlife daily. The house its self is beautiful, very clean, lots of amenities and everything you need. The pool is nice and clean. You also have a great view of the ocean. Definitely need a 4x4 to access, the drive up to the property is all up a steep hill on a gravel road. Grocery store right at the bottom of the hill is very convenient, also The bakery is a MUST go to. The only minor issues were no curtain in the bathroom that has a big window, so getting in and out of the shower felt a little exposed (there is another rental at the beginning of the drive way) the gate wasn't working during our stay so it was all manual to open and close, and some of the windows don't lock well and can be pushed open, but easy fixes. All in all highly recommend, you won't be disappointed. it's truly paradise.

Loved staying at this house. It had everything we needed. We can’t wait to come back!

I highly recommend this place for a group of 5-6 people with no children under 5 because of steep sides of the house going into the jungle. That being said... It's super private, you see amazing wildlife around you. I would really book this place again and Osa Property mgmt have the house fully decked out with anything you need. You better have a 4x4.

Les lieux était incroyable. Singes et toucan dans la cour. Vue magnifique, très propre et agréable. Je recommande fortement.
Casa Honu Kai
Karen Sontag
House was perfect for us and the management team went out of their way to assist us! Our review would easily have been a full 5 stars but the lack of generator (with rolling blackouts) had us trapped at the property. Also, perhaps a bidet for the bathrooms would help, given that toilet paper cannot be flushed down the toilet.

The location was beautiful and the house well supplied and comfortable. We did have a 4 x 4 car which was needed with the steep, rough road. There are sharp drop offs on both sides of the house so I would not bring small children here but it was a very peaceful, beautiful retreat.
Description
3 bedrooms
Sleep 7
Ocean views
Great location above Uvita (5 minutes away)
Waterfall tour is less than 5 minutes away
Huge patio and outdoor space to enjoy the jungle, private swimming pool and outdoor grill
Amazing wildlife is often seen and heard.
Notes
Honu Kai is Hawaiian for 'green sea turtle' - one of nature’s most beautiful and graceful animals, and also a symbol for good luck. The inspiration of the name comes from the amazing wildlife and beautiful ocean that surrounds this home, coupled with the sea turtles that are rescued every year at the nearby aquatic National Parks.
Casa Honu Kai is a three bedroom home nestled on a multi-acre jungle property. Guests will love the wildlife that is seen and heard daily (including howler monkeys, toucans, iguanas, geckos).
The main floor of the home has a large and modern kitchen, living room and two bedrooms. Bedroom #1 is air conditioned and has a queen bed. Bedroom #2 has a bunk bed with a Queen bed on the bottom and single on top, which is great for kids or parents with kids.
Bedroom #3 is located upstairs. This beautiful and spacious suite encompasses the entire second floor. This Suite has its own private bathroom, king size bed, private patio/balcony overlooking the pool and sunset Pacific Ocean views. A perfect place for adults to enjoy some private time.
The open floor plan of the kitchen-living room space flows easily out to the covered patio space, overlooking the pool. This provides a great space all year, whether in the rainy season or in the dry season, to enjoy your morning coffee while listening to the howler monkeys, toucans and scarlet macaws and views of the pool and the ocean.
The pool space also has a 'rancho' - an outdoor covered cooking area with grill and counter space, outdoor shower and half-bathroom.
If you are not out on an excursion, tour or at the beach, most of the time will probably be spent by the pool-patio-rancho area.
Google Nest Wifi throughout the home provides strong signal regardless of location in the home.

Neighborhood
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. Add a handful of great restaurants and there's really just one thing missing from Uvita: crowds. 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 know 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 25 minute drive south.
The home is secluded and away from the noise and activities in Uvita, but only a short drive away.
