Amazing house! Highly recommend!

We absolutely loved our stay in. The house is amazing! Having five bedrooms really makes it convenient for a bigger family to avoid trying to figure out who’s rooming with who.The property is beautiful, the house is beautiful, and the pool was perfect and great for cooling off or having family time in the evening with the large table next to the pool.

Amazing location.

House and pool were amazing. Views spectacular as was the location. Make sure you do have a 44 vehicle. We did not and the all wheel drive barely made it up the mountain.

Wonderful!

Had an absolutely wonderful time staying at Del's place. The house is beautiful and the kitchen well stocked for anyone wishing to prepare meals. The view of the Whale Tail from the second floor master bedroom is spectacular and Adrian the care taker is so helpful. The drive up the mountain as others have mentioned is interesting but definitely worth it! Will definitely stay again next time in the Uvita area!

Puntarenas Paradise

Absolutely amazing stay at Del Congos. Del, Patty and our host Adrian were treasures in so many ways. We have never been better accommodated. Adrian speaks beautiful English and was a wealth of information and a perfect Tico ambassador. The property is stunning. Comfortable, huge kitchen, bedrooms were thoughtfully designed to maximize air flow and comfort during the night.The pool with the slide and view of the famous "Whale's Tail" was incredible.Del and Patty arrived mid-week to start a stay at one of their adjacent properties. They were wonderful, warm, friendly and another great local resource. Del even helped me find a fairly large quantity of my favourite coffee from a local plantation. It felt like we had found new friends.A most enjoyable stay. Pura Vida!Rob & Cindy

Just book it!

You found it! Just book it! Everything was amazing! The view down is as good as the listing says. The pool and back patio area are perfect for relaxing while at the house. Uvita and Dominical are nice small towns with great grocery stores. The national park service beaches in Uvita are great natural beaches. The host was very helpful and offered anything we needed. We would definitely stay here again!!

Magnificent!

Del was absolutely amazing. Prior to leaving the US he spent countless calls with us arranging the actuvities we would do while at his property. The fishing guide was PERFECT. The property alone was perfection but arriving to a delicious home cooked meal was out of this world service!! The caretaker Alicia was so wonderful and sweet! I cant recommend this place enough! Thanks Del!

What a View!

We were a group of three adult females visiting Costa Rica for the first time. The house, property and pool are beautiful. I highly suggest allowing Del to schedule your transportation and excursions. All were flawless. The transportation to and from the airport was worth every penny. Don't be intimidated by the driveway. We rented the car from Del and once Adrian showed us how to navigate the driveway, it was no problem at all, even in the rain and dark. We saw lots of birds, had daily visits from agouti and coatimundi that we enjoyed watching.

Del Congos is breathtaking!

We had a terrific stay at Del Congos and words can't describe the beauty and gorgeous views surrounding the property! Our two kids ages 9 and 7 spent many hours playing in the pool and using the gorgeous waterslide (and parents too!). We also enjoyed many meals outside near the pool and lounging or reading books in the hammock. We had an amazing time on several tours that Del recommended including horseback riding at Rancho La Merced, a visit by boat to beautiful Corcovado National Park (saw 2 pumas, countless monkeys, wild pigs, a tapir, scarlet macaws, toucans, crocodiles, among many other jungle flora and fauna), and last but not least a mangrove tour out of Sierpe (we saw many crocs, birds, iguanas, a boa hanging out in a tree over the river, and monkeys galore). Del was very instrumental in helping us choose these wonderful activities and guiding us away from overly touristy places which we wanted to avoid. We recommend renting one of Del's personal cars as it was so important to have a solid 4WD vehicle to navigate the road to Del Congos and I don't think the airport rentals would be quite as powerful. The house is amazing and Adrian, the caretaker, is extremely nice and helpful. We highly recommend a trip to Del Congos in Uvita and take Del up on all his recommendations! Don't hesitate, just book it!

Family vacation

Second time staying in Uvita - this time with our boys, ages 12 and 17. Del's property is a beautiful paradise respite. Do beware, power outages can be a slight hinderance. It's par for the course up in those hills. We had several, mostly in the evening, and lasting a few hours. However, we were not deterred! Candles and a gas grill made all the difference. We were able to cook and clean and enjoy the night time jungle sights (lots of fireflies) and sounds without worry. Adrian, the property manager, lives on site just a stone's throw from the casa. He was always quick to check in and keep us posted. He's also very friendly and courteous and prompt when you need help with anything. We enjoyed walking the property grounds with him and learning more about the area. Additionally, Del was VERY helpful with booking tours for us and checking in to make sure we were enjoying our stay... And, as many others have commented - the road is steep, but with the right vehicle, you won't have any issues. The only regret from our 17 year old son was that he couldn't drive it himself (due to his age and rental car rules). :) Overall, we loved our time there. Pura vida!

☀️🌴Fabulous Place🌴☀️

The house was everything we wanted! Stunning views with total privacy! And of course everyone wants it to be peaceful … the only noise was from the critters & birds in the jungle … very unique sounds … just loved it! We were lucky enough to see a Toucan right at the house but sadly no Monkeys. All-in-all bugs not bad but do watch out for the spiders. Landscape and gardens were absolutely beautiful. Oh and the pool was so refreshing with stunning views while floating on our rafts (worth bringing)! We also enjoyed using sliding board … it was so fun😆. It’s a very safe place … we always left shutting the front door but every other door and windows were left open. There is a safe in the bathroom cabinet (which is not mentioned in the info packet at the house). We put our passports and extra money in there. Adrian (the property manager) reassured us that we didn’t need to worry even with passing neighbors “no one would enter the house” and he was right! I just want to emphasize how Adrian was always available to answer all of our questions and he was very helpful and made some awesome suggestions. Communication with Del was also great & very helpful! Thank you both!! One activity we highly recommend which isn’t far from the house … just a ride down the mountain … Uvita Paradise Adventures what a blast! As comments have been made previously, just be prepared for the ride up the mountain to the house! It’s worth the extra money to stay and spoil oneself here!

Beautiful house and property with cool breezes all day and night! We loved this house and our week in Uvita. It's got everything you need, and if you stumble upon anything you don't have the caretaker that lives a few minutes away will have it there in second. We felt very safe, and loved all the birds and wildlife. We even had a sloth hanging in a tree right by the pool. We became experts on driving the road and did so many wonderful things that Del recommended. Our highlight was probably the mangrove kayak tour.

Pura Vida!

This was our fifth trip to the same area in Costa Rica. Access to this property was a bit of a challenge with our four wheel drive rental, but a very comfortable home with a nice ocean view. The caretakers on the property were awesome people and very helpful. Looking forward to our visit next year!

Awesome view and amazing pool!

The location of this house is simply amazing. We woke our first morning to a barrel of monkeys in the trees outside our bedroom windows. The view down the mountain is even better when viewed from floating in the infinity pool. Thank you Del, for sharing your home with us.

Great views and privacy in the jungle !

We had a great time with our family of 4 in this fantastic home. Home is private, had great views and is well equipped. Del rented us his vehicle which saves time at the airport and was very capable for the road adventure of ascending and descending the mountain. Del also arranged a round trip transportation to and from the airport in San Jose which was convenient. The driver (Gilbert) was very personable and stopped at points that were safe and had facilities for us. We had a great trip and are looking forward to returning!

Ideal Costa Rican Villa

The grounds are expertly maintained while the house is clean and organized, comfortably housing 7 adults. The views are utterly breath-taking - the infinity pool is especially luxurious and provides the perfect vantage point for viewing the whale tail beach. We had the perfect amount of seclusion and we could easily access many stores, restaurants, and activities. We also rented the vehicle available with the villa which turned out to be the best idea - highly recommended. Del is such a valuable resource on all things Costa Rica and the caretakers who live next door to the villa are so attentive, polite, and welcoming. Thank you for our unforgettable stay! We recommend everyone to stay here!
