About this property

I fell in love with this property because of the dramatic valley, jungle and ocean views. I believe you will too. It sits high above two river valleys and adjacent to a waterfall below, easily accessable by car. You will want to be there every day.
This home was built in 2011, highlighting Asian characteristics with indoor / outdoor living and sliding glass doors that disappear into the wall for total access to the pool area. There are two bedrooms each with private bathrooms. The master has an outdoor shower and indoor Jacuzzi . The second bedroom has an indoor shower. The living area is accented by a fireplace that is only for decor. There is a small patio adjacent to the pool where you can enjoy private sunbathing , stargazing and yoga. A/C is available in the bedrooms but not necessary as there is always a breeze through the casita during the day. It can also be chilly at night while you sleep.
There is so much to offer that it is best to see the pictures and email me with any other questions you may have .

Pura Vida!!

Amazing private jungle experience

We spent a full week at Casa Namaste with our two boys (11&14). The views from this location are breathtaking. You can see all the way to the ocean. We loved watching the birds and monkeys come and visit each day. We saw toucans everyday. We like to cook our own meals and the cabin was very well equipped with everything we needed. Local grocery stores in Uvita are good with all the options we were looking for. Morning yoga sessions on the patio taking in the amazing views was fun although kids didn’t really appreciate it that much, lol. There is a really great walk down to the river in the valley below. It’s a 20 minute hike down a steep road or if you have a 4x4 you can drive but we enjoyed getting a little excercise. There are pools you can swim in and the kids loved jumping off the rocks in to the deep pools below. Chelsea attended to everything we needed and was very responsive with any questions we had. When booking, we weren’t sure if we’d enjoy the jungle location as we normally prefer being close to the beach (this was our third trip to Costa Rica) but with a short 20 minute drive to some great beaches we felt this was a great choice for us and really enjoyed our stay. Lots to do in the area. We’ll be back.

Great location. Marvelous pool. Upsetting ant infestation in the bed.

Having stayed at several different accomodations in previous visits to Costa Rica, this location certainly impressed us in 2023. So we booked again in 2024. The view is still great and the private pool most welcome. However we were surprised to find full garbage (used toilet tissue) in bathroom at check-in along with other refuse in the kitchen. Overall, the cleanliness seemed to have sunk from the previous year. The house looked more "tired". Also we were struck at the number of geckos inside the house compared to other similar properties where we have stayed. Each morning we cleaned up a new overnight crop of gecko faeces from counters, bed covers, tables etc. More disturbingly, after mysterious bites on ourselves, we found microscopic (biting) ants all over our pillows and bed. We later learned that the ants have been a recurring problem over time in the main bedroom (the bed had been previously dismantled and treated). This had a profound negative impact on the balance of our stay which wouldn't have been possible if we were with another couple as we used the second bedroom. Sadly, we will not be staying here on a future trip to the region.

If there's a perfect VRBO rental out there, it's this one

Casa Namaste exceeded all our expectations. We loved how the outside pool and covered patio were really just an extension of the home--we spent most of our time swimming and enjoying the views and wildlife from that space. The home is well kept and appointed with everything we needed, and Chelsea was a terrific host. She was easy to communicate with and offered us ideas that enriched our time in Costa Rica. It's a big, beautiful world out there, and we're already trying to figure out how to get back to this special home and place.

Beautiful and Restful Casa Namaste

Our first time to Costa Rica, and Casa Namaste has set the bar very high. Super comfy beds, plenty of linens, towels, kitchen supplies, whatever we needed for our 6 days. Couldn’t ask for better scenery, and woke up to monkeys and toucans in the trees each morning. Chelsea was an absolute gem…so helpful and full of information and ideas….our own personal travel agent! She helped us choose some great tours. We did Oro Verde, Santa Lucia Waterfalls, and Emilio Coffee, just the right amount of time away from the house and then spending the afternoons by the beautiful pool. Glad we rented a 4x4 vehicle for these tours. Got in at 10 pm first night, so the road to the house was daunting, but after the next time, we were pros! Don’t wait, just book this place, you’ll be happy you did!
