Casa Zella -2 BR whole house, private pool, sleeps up to 6
Casa Zella · New Jungle Home + Private Pool · 20-Min Walk to the Beach
Casa Zella is your base camp for the best of Costa Rica — a brand-new, two-bedroom jungle retreat with its own covered plunge pool, tucked into the heart of Uvita on the country's unspoiled southern Pacific coast.
You're a 20-minute walk from the beach, right across from the Uvita River, and a 10-minute drive from a gorgeous waterfall. Marino Ballena National Park and its famous Whale's Tail sandbar are minutes away, and you can walk to grocery stores, restaurants, and bars.
Inside: 2 fully air-conditioned bedrooms (three beds), a full kitchen, fast Wi-Fi, a dedicated workspace, and laundry. Your own private covered plunge pool in a gated, secure space. Free, gated parking. Self check-in by lockbox means you arrive on your own schedule. Pura Vida.

About the host
Hosted by Emily Beers
I'm from Oklahoma in the United States and I enjoy yoga, hiking, reading, art, music, back-packing, cycling, meditating, anything in nature. Since my granddaughter was born and lives in Costa Rica, I love having my own place where I can visit her and her mother whenever! To sweet baby Zella, it's called Tita's house and we love it! I hope you enjoy it too.
Why they chose this property
I can't describe how magical Uvita feels to me. When I arrived, I immediately knew. There's something special there which speaks to me and I think of it as the most spiritual and magical place on Earth!
What makes this property unique
For me and what I love to do, it could not be more perfect. It's private, gated, safe, clean and well cared for. It's central, close to nature, jungle, waterfalls, river, or beach. It's near bars, restaurants, stores, etc. And it's QUIET!
