"Really enjoyed our stay - thank you very much!"

"Best VRBO stay yet. Don’t hesitate to book this magical jungle oasis. Excellent property management. "

"My husband and I stayed in this beautiful home for 8 whole days for our delayed honeymoon and what a treat! The place is unbelievably gorgeous! The house, the view and the property, we were in awe! The staff went above and beyond to take care of us. They cooked for us, cleaned, did our laundry, we were so spoiled by the time we left! They helped us figure out what to do and where to go and were exceptional. We made some great memories and plan to return and take the whole family! I cannot say enough about how much we loved it and what a fantastic experience it all was. "

"Nice property just just minutes up the hill from Uvita. We had rented a Rave 4 and spent a few days in Santa Teresa and Arenal before going to Uvita. Got a message from Andrea saying to make sure our vehicle had a 4 wheel drive button or it wouldn't make it up the hill. Decided to change vehicles to a Toyata Land Cruiser Prado. Good thing we did. Not sure the Rave 4 would have made it up the hill! Excellent property, very private, and a great Ocean view. Loren, the property manager, was very responsive. Water pressure was an issue a couple times, but Andrea gave us instructions on how to switch from city water to water tanks up the hill from the property. We enjoyed eating at many of the local sodas in town. Would highly recommend this property."

"Had a great time at golden pineapple villas. Would definitely stay again "

"We just spent 10 days here. The house is very nice, very clean. The kitchen is well stocked with equipment and gadgets. There is air conditioning through out the house, 3 individual systems so you can cool as needed. The shared pool is awesome. This house is only about a 1/2 km off the highway on a mostly paved road. We would be happy to stay here again."

"Among premium properties in Uvita, this one stands apart. It is a unique layout with many thoughtful details included, situated on a steep slope above Uvita with views of the ocean and surrounding nature that exceed photos in beauty and grandeur. You enter the house from above with the primary living area on the upper level, and kitchen and dining area on lower level (game room is actually one level below that). Each bedroom (three up, two down) has its own bathroom, and each has its own special feature (eg, big tub, open air shower, private reading patio, direct access to hot tub patio, etc.). The kitchen is quite impressive with a true commercial-grade range and super-stocked with dishes and appliances. AC, hot water, and laundry were also top-of-the-line, making our stay very comfortable. The pool and hot tub were true to form compared to the photos and very refreshing day or night, even after a day at the beach.Whit is the host, owner, and designer of the property—an ex-pat who has made this property a passion project. He lives locally and is fully invested—he also personally oversees issues that arise on the property, even though others help with the property management. Always reachable. We came as a group of 12, including adults and children ages 8 months to 14 years. I think our younger children gave Whit some initial cause for concern. He explained everything clearly and in detail, and everything was A-OK for young kids there. Would enjoy staying again."

"Beautiful home. We loved our stay here. The warnings about the 4 wheel drive are appreciated as it’s an adventure getting up and down the hill every day, but the views are worth the drive! Would live to come back with family sometime as it’s a great place for 3 couples. Hot water was not working when we arrived but they sent someone out the next day. "

"Beautiful spot, excellent grounds, good restaurant. Not our first stay and not our last. "
