Vacation rentals in Bijagua de Upala

The place was as represented. The views from the house are amazing. Lots of nature and wildlife to be seen.

Very beautiful place and property! The views are stunning everywhere you look. If you are looking for a peaceful, remote stay, this is it! Given its remoteness and surrounding road conditions, highly recommend a 4x4 and comfortable vehicle, along with groceries for a couple days. Diego + Christina were very responsive and provided great suggestions of things to do and see around the area and property. Don’t snooze on horseback riding with Hilario right on the property - it’s amazing and the views are very beautiful!

Tanyia & Rod were so wonderful! They were both so responsive and helpful. The house was perfect for a family of 4, and everything was comfortable. The location was great, and it was amazing to wake up to all the wildlife and scenery. There's a community pool in walking distance, and the club serves up an excellent breakfast (extra cost). I had Tanyia get us some groceries before we arrived, which was so helpful when you're traveling with kids. Restaurants and things to do are very close. Just make sure you use Google Maps! Thank you both for an excellent experience :)

We loved our time at Heather’s place. You can literally sit at the balcony and lose hours in watching the howler monkeys, toucans, orapendola and more go about their beautiful lives. This is a fabulous location and Heather made us feel very very welcome with great recommendations and homemade bread. Thank you so very much for having us!

The house is exactly as it looks i the pictures. The host was very responsive and helped us arrange transportation from SJO. We did not rent a car but were able to book a number of excursions (white water rafting, zip lining and hot springs) with companies that picked us up at the airBnB. The location provided with google maps coordinates was essential to belong them find us. We otherwise used Uber to drive us into town. The directions provided for the unit were very helpful. Would recommend this place to anyone looking to be in the thick of adventure without the business of La Fortuna

It was such a great stay. It was extremely clean, we felt safe and welcomed. We circled around many times feeling like we were lost but ended up being right at the spot. Maybe a sign could’ve helped. But overall, 10/10. Beautiful place!!!

LOVE LOVE LOVE this place! The hot tub was just what we needed after a long hike. We brought our kayaks but opted to just take in the views and relax. Perfect location and great responsive hosts.

We enjoyed our stay! It's a nice, clean home with scenic views in an authentic, safe community. We bought a few basics for breakfast (eggs, queso blanco, milk, coffee, juice) at the nearby community mini-market (a few blocks away) so we could make breakfast at the place. If you want fresh fruits & veggies, you should stop at a bigger market on your way (La Fortuna? Or El Castillo?). We ate dinner twice at the nearby La Terraza restaurant, which was good. We loved the batidos de fruta (fruit smoothies/shakes - 'de leche' ('of milk') . My favorite is the batido de papaya (de leche). My kids also tried the strawberry, pineapple, maracuya (and I think others, too!). We enjoyed the dishes we had there, too. Internet at the house can be spotty, but there's some cell reception, too. If you're on vacation and just checking your email from time to time and researching things to do in the area, it's fine; if you're looking to be a digital nomad, this is probably not the place for you.

AMAZING. Such a beautiful and peaceful place, the view is WAY better in real, the room are big and clean with hot water, really a piece of paradise!!! The only thing to know, there is a breakfast for a great price available. Otherwise you need to think to buy some food to eat. It is not far away from the little town where you have a few restaurants (maybe 1-2?), a little convenient store and a place to get meat but it is a bumpy road to come back to get it, so think ahead and buy it before you get there!
