Pet-friendly vacation rentals in Bahía Ballena

Incredible place with amazing nature surroundings. Just like the pictures there's lots to see and explore and Zuray is a great host!

The stay was just great. We felt very comfortable and enjoyed the time. Above all, we also liked the pool very much and it was a great refreshment after the long and warm days. Desire was always available and very helpful. Kind regards Laura & Martin

This was our first time in Costa Rica and we loved everything about this home. Be mindful you will need 4x4 because these mountains and roads are no joke. The house was absolutely beautiful, we loved having the bedrooms closed off and having the air conditioner (and bug free) and then having the living space and kitchen being open to the outside and the pool. You really do become one with nature in this home, so if you do not like bugs or insects, Costa Rica is not for you. I actually found it soothing listening to the lizards on the walls and watching them eat the other little bugs. My husband and I were able to enjoy horseback riding and a boat tour through the jungle thanks to the help of Loren, he made everything so easy for us and was always available. We got lost trying to find the house the first time after Loren showed us, but once you learn the mountain, it became easy. With the craziness of the US right now, it felt good to disconnect.

We loved our stay here, wish we could have stayed for longer. The setting is ideal, the mesh screen walls make you feel like you’re camping out in the jungle but with all the creature comforts of being ‘at home’. Wouter is a great host, friendly, kind & helpful & even gave us a lift down to the beach. If you haven’t got a car it’s still doable, Uber works here and Wouter also gave us taxi nos. So don’t worry if you’ve not got wheels, this is still a perfect option!

We really enjoyed it as a family. Everything was to our complete satisfaction.

We had a fantastic stay at Casa Colibri! The house is beautiful, well-equipped, and perfectly located—close to everything in Uvita, yet quiet and peaceful. The check-in process was smooth, and communication with the host was excellent throughout. Everything was clean and comfortable, and we really appreciated the small details—especially the box of LEGO, which our kids absolutely loved. It made them feel right at home and kept them happily entertained. Highly recommended—we’d love to return in the future. Thank you for everything, and Pura Vida!

We stayed here for the second time because we loved it so much. The place is super quiet, with one of the most beautiful gardens in Uvita! Jeremy was very friendly and very helpful, we would come again anytime! Thank you for everything! Pura Vida!

Mrs. Graciela from the beginning was Super communicative and from the entrance she was always very attentive to us. The place was not as expected, it was even better, impeccable in cleanliness and with absolutely all the amenities that are required as well as the basic things for entertainment such as tv, wifi, and in my opinion the most beautiful was the terrace that allows being in direct contact with nature, the proximity also with visiting points such as beaches, waterfalls and national parks make it definitely a great option to stay a few nights of rest. We will definitely stay with her again, WE HIGHLY RECOMMEND her STAY.

This place is truly special. the level of isolation in the forest is really something and hiking down to the lost pools was such fun. My kids loved the pool and the kitchen area has everything you need.

It's a very nice place, fully equipped so you don't need anything and you feel right at home, the place was very clean and easy to find. I was able to take my whole family and my pets and everyone felt comfortable. In addition, the host helped me a lot by letting me in a little earlier than check-in

Incredible views and surroundings. The sounds of the jungle were AMAZING! Everything was so clean and pristine with nice furnishings and bedding! We loved our experience and would stay again when traveling to Uvita!

Fantastic stay! The pictures don’t do it justice. The pool, the interior, the views, and the vibe are all better than I expected. Joe is extremely friendly and responsive. I even requested to boost the internet speed as I run a remote business. Joe happily accepted, and the internet speed nearly doubled. It’s been one of the best Airbnb experiences I’ve had. Come check this place out already.

We had a great time at the house my wife, my two kids and I. It felt very nice and peaceful to come back there after a day at the beach or on the trails. The view and surroundings are amazing. A lot of birds around and passing by including toucan and red parrots which always made the moment memorable and extraordinary. House is slightly remote but easily accessible with any 4x4. FYI the power supply is a bit unstable in case of heavy rains.

We loved the place, the house is very well equipped, everything is very close The pool to end the day was perfect

Enjoyed our stay here! Ignacio was very responsive and such a great host! When something came up, he was responding within minutes! The house was beautiful and well kept! Really enjoyed the pool!

We had a great time and the place is beautiful. The space was impeccably clean, and fully equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable stay and more. Communication with Mckay was smooth, and he went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed, even offering great recommendations for nearby restaurants and activities. We will definitely return, thank you Mckay!

My wife, son and I stayed 4 nights in this lovely hill top home. The serenity, wild life, views and hikes were stunning. We stayed off season in August and the variety of weather and thus the moods was enchanting. The rain clouds and sun playing patterns across the sheep covered hillsides reminded us of New Zealand or Europe. The mornings could be chilly but sleeping was warm and cozy with adequate blankets. Most everything you would need was supplied and though it seemed we were 100 miles away, the local town was close and a larger town was only a 30 minute drive. Restaurants, fruits and supplies were within reach. The local caretakers Maria and Josè were very friendly, spoke enough english and were extremely responsive/helpful. I highly recommend this stay if a rural, remote, peaceful, quiet setting interests you. We hope to return for a longer stay in the near future.

The place is a dream…. No other words needed! We bought everything we needed and didn’t leave the place for 4 days straight! I absolutely recommend 🙏❤️

Yorleni's cabin is amazing - just as the pics show. The living areas face directly into the forest and you feel at one with nature, yet have all the great amenities of a modern home. We enjoyed viewing beautiful birds and butterflies as we sat in the living areas and kitchen - too cool! The woodwork throughout the cabin is beautiful and kitchen, bathroom and bedroom perfect. The bed was extremely roomy and comfortable with a high powered ceiling fan above to keep you cool. The place was so peaceful that we hated to leave. A great little cabin that we'll definitely try to visit again!

Wonderful place with a delightful pool for the end of the day to relax in. Terrific restaurants in area. Bird watching from back porch. Easy access to beaches and area overall. Very helpful staff-Jeremy in particular. Highly recommended.

We spent 9 days at RSA, a truly unique and memorable time. The property is beautiful and buzzing with life. Being in the misty clouds felt surreal. We saw 100s of hummingbirds and many other birds, toads, insects, and butterflies. The variety of flowers and plants in the garden is amazing. Hiking the “puma trail” was like another world, with dense moss covered trees and hanging vines. We highly recommend touring the property with Fabian - so kind/knowledgeable/passionate. Jan and the caretaker family are also SO helpful and considerate. The home was sparkling clean. There is a huge library of books. The beds are comfortable. The coffee harvested on site is delicious! Mornings were especially lovely. A few things: a 4x4 with good clearance and a confident driver are a MUST as the road is quite steep and rocky; 2 of the 3 access roads were closed, so local attractions and amenities were hard to visit/further than expected; for kids under 5, the trails are too steep/muddy. Thank you! ?

We enjoyed a wonderful week at thus property. The observation deck and pool enabled plenty of nature watching and relaxation. The small kitchenette allowed us to make pizzas and simple meals after long days of hiking and site seeing. The bed was comfortable and the space was exactly as advertised. Plenty of fans for air movement and AC if you want to spend extra. we would absolutely stay again. Katherine was very helpful and responsive!

Beautiful place! Beautiful place! Beautiful and large house, living space upstairs and bedrooms below which make them cool and comfortable. Well equipped kitchen for cooking, but no salt/pepper/oil available. Pisicine and terrace in the shade, well maintained and intimate. About 500 meters from the beach but on a very steep road. Safe neighborhood with caretaker. Delicious little cafe/restaurant at the bottom of the coast that serve a sublime ceviche, possibility to do yoga there every day at 9:00 am. Paradise place between sea and jungle where we were able to observe families of Capuchin monkeys, howler monkeys, a toucan, hummingbirds and multiple birds directly from the balcony. A memorable stay!

It's a beautiful place, surrounded by nature. 4x4 is definitely needed, as indicated (especially on the last way of the way). Quite private and quiet, beautiful views. All super clean; very attentive host and helped us lots in everything we needed. 100% recommend the place.
