Perfect Stay
This stay met all of our needs. The pool was the best part, and it was well kept and treated. It was easy to access and the beach was a short walk. The only small downside was A/C was only in the main bedroom. Otherwise, I recommend staying at this place.

Great vacation!
Natalia was an excellent host and the home was perfect! We saw 2 whales from the beach on the first morning and the views are incredible. This is a great home for a family vacation.

Amazing Experience - we'll return
We had a wonderful time in Uvita. This property is beautiful, clean and perfectly situated. We enjoyed exploring the beach which was a 5 min. walk from the property. There was a great surf beach near by. The house was super comfortable, we used the the kitchen often as it was very well equipped, we lounged around the pool and watched the lightning storms from the hammock. Natalia was quick to respond to our every question. Thanks for a wonderful stay and we plan to return soon. Pura Vida!!

Perfect!
The home, location were perfect and we couldn’t have been more pleased. The house was very clean and spacious with a nice pool. The property was was beautiful and steps from the beach. The owner Natalia was very responsive and a pleasure to deal with. She met us there on arrival, gave us a tour of the home and property.. This was our third time visiting Uvita, this was the nicest home/property we’ve stayed at and we’ll definitely stay here again.

Great location, plenty of space, both inside and outside!
Casa Luna is perfectly located on a wonderful beachfront property just south of the town of Uvita. Far enough to be off the beaten track and therefore quiet and secure. Easy access to the ocean, rural setting, Macaws come to a tree on or near the property daily. and more. It's a large house with plenty of space and everything you need. Only the master bedroom has AC, which we knew ahead of time. That said, if you're not accustomed to tropical heat and humidity you will want AC. We would definitely stay again, especially at a time of year with more moderate temperatures.

Beautiful serene house
LOVE Natalia's home and loved HER even more. Easy to work and communicate with. The home was beautiful and right in front of the beach 5 minutes walk away. Most of the time it was a private beach so even more fun to just relax and explore. Had an excellent experience overall!

A wonderful, relaxing spot!
The birds, howler monkeys in the tree right by the house, the quiet beautiful beach right in front. What more could anyone ask for? OK, I should add that the house is very nice too!

Awful!!
This place is awful! Save your money and go to a hostel! There are so many things wrong with this place I don’t know where to start. I went back and looked at some old reviews and realized they are from 2015 and perhaps this place has been vacant since then. First of all there are bats in the house! They keep you awake at night and leave feces all over your personal belongings. There is no internet as promised even though the owner David had it “repaired”. (“In regards to connectivity, once again, our lodging is located in a remote setting so common sense will dictate that high speed internet may be a luxury. Should you have inquired beforehand, we would have clarified that our bandwidth may not support high demand applications but it's good enough for email, checking Facebook or Instagram and even posting pictures of all the wonderful things our guests come to see and enjoy with us”-reply from David the owner ) we literally had to take our son to the nearest town to pay for internet so he could complete his school work. Sadly he missed out on our vacation for the most part. The fridge and freezer do not work and we had to keep dumping out food that kept spoiling during our miserable stay. The pots and pans Teflon is peeling off and not fit for cooking with. The oven doesn’t work either! We complained to the owner as well as vacationrentals/HomeAway to no avail. They do not guarantee your stay and they certainly won’t protect you in anyway (even with the health concern of bats!) Renter be aware!

One week in paradise
Nice property just outside of Uvita. Real quiet place. Nice pool. Close to the beach. Nice beach with waves. Natalia (the hostess) was real nice and quick to reply to our requests. We have seen many birds, parrots, toucans and monkeys. The caretaker was very helpful. The house is big and have lots of spaces for 8 persons. I recommend that rental. One thing maybe to upgrade: a fan over the patio would be a nice add. We had a blast there !
