Casa Bambu is a 1 bedroom home situated on 1.5 acres with amazing views and an infinity pool. For guests who rent the main house a separate studio casita is also available for an additional fee (suitable for 1 to 2 adults or teenagers). The property has breathtaking views of the Pacific Ocean, white water beaches, Ballena Marine Park and at a distance – Cano Island and the Osa Peninsula.

The custom house is tropical design, structural bamboo vaulted ceilings and local exotic hardwoods. Unique and charming – the property sits at an elevation of 1100 ft (300 meters) – keeping the house cool and fresh during the day, with mountain downdrafts to cool at night.

A full kitchen with a gas BBQ, bathroom, living area, laundry and covered patio – all on the main floor. (The covered patio is a great for viewing songbirds, parrots, toucans, and aracaris as they visit the mango tree - not to mention the direct view of the Whales Tale and the Bahia.)

On the lower level - a spacious master bedroom with King size bed and incredible ocean views. Offering A/C, quality linens, privacy, and large en-suite, along with a walk-in closet with a safe. Patio doors lead you to a private terrace where your infinity pool awaits.

The house was designed for couples - offering the perfect amount of detail to create an escape from the everyday life of the northern hemisphere. Ideal for honeymooners, personal life celebrations, birders, those who just want to get away from the busy-ness of daily life. This property is serene, but full of plant, bird and tropical life!

You will have the whole house and grounds to yourself. The casita will not be rented during your stay at Casa Bambu.

WiFi at the house is very stable and fast Fiber Optic internet. There is a smart TV in the living room that can be used for streaming and watching movies. There is a washer and dryer at the house for the guests to use. Because the house sits at 1100 ft elevation, guests enjoy cool mountain breezes; however, we have installed air conditioning in the bedroom which can be used for a minimal additional charge based on usage and and the electric meter reading for your actual stay. Most guests who use the AC only use it to cool down the bedroom in the evening and have not gone over the budgeted allowance for electricity.

Access to this property is along an incredible jungle road. (It does have a couple of steep sections to it and requires a 4WD SUV.) The house is about a 15 minute drive from town up a mountain road. There is a locked gate to enter the property. Stairs lead you from the parking area down to the front door and continue down to the bedroom on the lower level. There are security cameras for the entrances and driveway to the property. There are no cameras in the house or pool area.

Our property manager, Trina – will meet you in town and escort you to the property. Check in is between 3 pm and 8 pm and check out is 10 am.

    We stayed at casa bambu for our honeymoon and could not have been happier with our choice. The property was beyond beautiful, private, clean, and just right for a couple to stay. Listen to the host about getting a 4x4 car for the long drive up. The owner and property management were both very responsive to questions before and during our stay. Thank you Peg, Trina & Jorge! We plan to stay again on an anniversary trip :)

    We have stayed in many vacation rental homes over the years. This place -Casa Bambu - was one of the best we have ever experienced. The house is lovely, well equipped and spotlessly clean. The whale’s tail view is spectacular. We spent 4 nights here and most of that time was spent on the upper deck or poolside patio. There are plenty of seating options for sun or shade. The pool is clean and cool. Many different bird species visited every day and we also so saw frogs and a very large green iguana. The kitchen was well equipped and easy to cook in. As mentioned in other reviews, the road up is a little challenging especially the first time and we appreciated Jorge meeting us at the bottom of the hill and guiding us up. The management team was easy to contact and extremely helpful. This was without a doubt our best stop in our 3 week visit to Costa Rica. We would come back in a heartbeat and would recommend without hesitation to anyone visiting the area.

    Highly, highly recommend to stay at this house! The location was superb - private, at a top of the hill with the best view for sunrises and sunsets. You are in the middle of the jungle and can hear howler monkeys, see toucans and macaws right from the property! We spent much time just relaxing in the pool watching the wildlife and enjoying the view. The house is very Costa Rica with an ind

    Casa Bambu is in a beautiful location, private, high in the mountains with stunning ocean and whale tail views. The support staff were friendly, communicated well and helpful with check in and check out. The property is clean, well maintained and perfect for a romantic getaway, until you want to go out. The drive up and down the mountain is the only negative. A capable 4x4 is a must as well as 4x4 driving skills. If you want to be way of the beaten path and be able to look down at soaring condors, watch macaws fly by your pool and many other types of birds, listen to the sounds of the ocean surf and watch the beautiful sunset and sunrise sky from your bed or pool, Casa Bambu cannot be beat.

    Amazing view of the jungle and whale’s tail from the balcony. Very secluded and clean property. The bird watching from the property was also top tier (bring binoculars, you won’t regret it). AC in the bedroom worked very well for a comfortable sleep. You will NEED a 4X4 if driving yourself up the mountain to the property!

    Very private setting with awesome view. My wife & I stayed on the property for almost our entire visit to Costa Rica with the exception of making a couple of trips down the mountain to get groceries. It made for a great vacation to reconnect, relax, & lounge in the pool.

    My husband and I thoroughly researched properties in Uvita while planning our trip and are so grateful we found Casa Bambu. This jewel exceeded our expectations! The road up is no joke. We love to offroad so the 3 bumpy, curvy miles wasn't a concern for us but make sure you rent a 4x4 with low range and make the drive part of your adventure it's 15 to 20 minutes through the jungle each way. Casa Bambu is surrounded by lush trees and tropical plants with a clear view of La Ballena below. You feel completely secluded, although you may hear the buzz of saws working on properties nearby along with an occasional motorcycle blending in with the Cicadas. We woke up every morning to Aracari, Toucans and other tropical birds as we enjoyed coffee next to the pool. We ate in most nights to take in the sunset as we grilled fresh shrimp and ahi on the bbq. We'll return again to Casa Bambu for more Pura Vida!

    Wow, wow and more wow! Casa Bambu is a special, special place, and we were so fortunate to spend 6 magical days there. Peggy was wonderful answering my questions and providing recommendations before we arrived (and yes, get the 4x4 - you need it. I’ve been driving Costa Rican roads for 14 years, and the road up is no joke. But it becomes an incredible part of the adventure!) Jorge and Trina (property managers) were amazing and answered any questions we had. And the HOUSE!! The view is spectacular. You feel really secluded in a private, natural, calm, quiet oasis. We loved cooling off in the pool, sunsets on the loungers, morning time on the covered veranda watching the toucans, beautiful dinners in the eating nook and pre-sunrise snuggles in the beautifully appointed bedroom with the spectacular view. You have everything there that you need to chill, relax, cook great meals and connect with nature. If Casa Bambu is available, grab it! You will leave relaxed, re-energized and definitely believing in magic!

    The location lent itself to views for miles and miles and the treetops just off the balcony provided tons of bird watching. Toucans and Aracaris were close by and the occasional maccau flew by shoing off their scarlet red bodies. Bring binoculars so you can take in the colorful details of the toucans off in the near distance...there's a tree they seem to all love.Pay particular attention to the owner's plea to rent a 4x4, you'll need it and be sure to get one with a high clearance as there are potholes. If you've ever driven in the Caribbean, particularly St. John, you'll be at home driving here. Nothing treacherous, just long steep lengths of dirt roads. There is a very popular waterfall with refreshing pools at the start of the road to the home so this site couldn't be more convenient. There was a sloth hanging out there during our week's stay.The home was very comfortable and the bedroom was rather spa-like. The owner and the management team were very attentive. Definitely one of the more comfortable stays my wife and I had. And Uvita is delightful as it is not too touristy and everyone is so polite.

    Casa Bambu was a great home base for our stay in Uvita. The property had amazing views and was secluded yet close enough for us to get to all the activities we had planned. Trina and Jorge were very responsive and helpful throughout our stay. We would definitely recommend Casa Bambu for your stay in Uvita!
