Howler heaven
Barbara C. (review from Vrbo)
We were close to the beach, 50 meters, and the jungle sounds were wonderful. The house was well stocked and clean. The photos give a much brighter impression as the place was dark and a little drab. The stairs are high and steep so that should be noted for anyone that has problems with steps. That being said we were happy to be upstairs. The pool was clean and warm and the pool guy came while we were there. There were two washers and dryers so we were able to do laundry but one washer did not work. We reported that to the management company. Although we don’t watch a lot of tv on vacation, we do like to watch a little bit prior to bed but the speaker in the tv was shot. We told the management company. Overall our stay was nice and the proximity to the beach for sunset was great. The trails along the beach were very walkable too.
We had a good time and really enjoyed our stay….
Roiner (review from Airbnb)
We had a good time and really enjoyed our stay. The place is really close to the beach, loved the bird sounds and monkeys,the view to the woods is beautiful. The only downsides were no self check in, steep stairs to get to the second floor, and most importantly they required a non refundable additional fee after booking for an insurance.

Hola Roiner! We are glad you enjoyed your stay, however, I think you failed to read the property description. In each case of your complaints, that information was clearly shared/described in the property description. We would recommend you take the time to read a property description before booking. We would Host you again, but only if we were sure you had read the property description thoroughly. Pura vida!

Sophie (review from Airbnb)
The bungalow itself was wonderful. Great location being a few minutes to the beach and close to amenities. It could do with more basic utensils like a corkscrew and glasses. The locks were also difficult to work, especially for the balcony. Our experience with the property company wasn’t great. The private transfer booked through them from the airport was 1 hour 20 late as they got the times wrong. They also asked us to move properties on Christmas Eve which was a day before our check out due to scheduling issues.

The treehouse really lived up to its name! Tucked beautifully into the jungle and only a minute walk to the beach. Adorable coffee hunt and delicious food only steps away! Comfortable bed, pumping A/C, and kitchen stocked with all needed appliances.

Neighborhood
The property is located in Uvita near to Playa Chaman. There are plenty of little restaurants within a 5-10 minute walk. Uvita "centro" is about a 5 minute car ride away.
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.
Uvita is the launching site for the areas most popular tours, including: whale watching, deep sea fishing, horseback riding, hiking or chocolate making.
