Casa Toucan, Secluded Jungle Setting with Ocean View & 40 foot Pool

Conveniently located 1000 feet above the village of Uvita, where the mountains go right down to the coast, this private 2000 square foot villa is nestled in a secluded jungle setting with ocean views from the house, patio and pool. Our property manager will meet you on your arrival to Uvita, orient you to the area, and escort you up to the house. He will drive his own vehicle up to the house and you will follow in yours. Due to the rapid rise in elevation, a 4x4 SUV will be needed. Rolando will be available to you by text, email or phone call throughout your stay for questions and issues that may arise. He will attend in person when needed.

There are ocean views across the entire west side of the house: kitchen, dining area, living room and veranda. One of the two bedrooms is set behind the veranda and can open up on it, allowing for an ocean view from bed. You do not need to bring much clothing because we have a dedicated laundry room and even provide the detergent. If you want to stay connected in the wilds, bring your laptop. The villa has WiFi. We have a Smart TV so bring your passwords for Nextflix or Amazon or take a look at our extensive film collection which you can play on our DVD. There is also a stereo system which plays Bluetooth only.

Hike right from the front door down to a nearby river, a 10 minute walk away, for a swim in a waterfall pool. Or make the 10 minute drive down to the village. Uvita is a multi-cultured community which serves as the shopping hub for the area. There are restaurants, supermarkets, a tourist information center, cafes, boutiques and shops. There is a beautiful farmer's market every Saturday morning where many local artisans sell their wares. Uvita connects to Bahia, the entrance to Marino Ballena National Park which has the Whale's Tail, a nearly 700 meter long and 250 meters wide sandbank, the third largest in the world.

Tour operators here (we recommend the Uvita Information Center) will bring you snorkeling right off the coast at Ballena Isla or to the famous Cano Island for scuba or snorkeling. They also offer tours to Corcovado National Park across the bay for a day of hiking in one of the few primal forests left in the world. Or choose a day of deep sea fishing or tour Uvita's 1000 acre wildlife preserve. There are zip line tours and ATV tours. Go 5 miles down the Costanera to kayak on the Terraba River in the largest mangrove in all of Central America. We also have several wonderful waterfalls which you can walk to or rent a horse and ride there. The Whale's Tail divides the endless coastline of beaches into two distinct kinds. On one side, enjoy vigorous surf for both swimming and surfing. And on the other side, enjoy the calm water ideal for snorkeling.

With ocean breezes all day and cool mountain air at night, there is no need for air conditioning (although one bedroom has an in-wall unit). The two large bedrooms have queen sized beds (one bedroom has an additional single bed), private baths, and are separated by a spacious living room with dining area. All closets are dehumidified. Fully equipped kitchen and vaulted ceilings with palm frond ceiling fans give this home both comfort and beauty. Incredible wildlife and spectacular sunsets make Casa Toucan unforgettable. Wake up to the calls of howler monkeys and have sunset cocktails with resident toucans by your 40 foot ocean-view, very private swimming pool.

Heaven
This is the second time we have stayed at Casa Toucan and it was truly wonderful, just like the first time. There’s so many great things about this home, we love it. The house itself has all the modern conveniences you would want. Fully staffed kitchen, living room for watching tv or just reading, a dining area that overlooks incredible views and sunsets, two private bedrooms with private bathrooms. There is a spacious outdoor area to enjoy nature or take a swim in a private pool. What we really loved was while having all of these things available, we watched morpho butterflies, toucans, an owl eyed butterfly, macaws and parrots all hangout or flying by. We woke to howler monkeys singing every morning! You can’t find that just anywhere! Lynn and Rob have always been gracious hosts, so readily available to help. Rolando, the property manager is so quick to respond I swear he must have his phone on him at all times. Rolando is kind and very accommodating with any questions! We are so grateful to him. We love it here. We will be back!

Wonderful Location
Within the first 15 min of being on property we saw a group of monkeys and toucans right out the porch. The pool was a nice treat after our morning adventures. The first time or 2 up and down the mountain were a little intense but we soon mastered the climb. Check in was super easy and Ro was extra communicative with us- even leading up to our arrival. The place was just what we were hoping for accommodations wise. The little hike to the waterfall was easy and fun. We felt safe, and our belongings secure, when we left for daily activities, etc. Highly recommend Casa Toucan.

Wonderful, relaxing time at Casa Toucan!
We had a fantastic time at this lovely home. There were 3 of us in the group. The house is beautiful, clean, and comfortable with stunning views. Rolando the caretaker is very responsive and helpful whenever we had any questions. Uvita is an amazing town, with lots to do and see. The only downside to this property is that it’s up a steep hill so you really can’t walk into town (you need a car), so just be mindful of that. Also the beds in the guest bedroom could use updating (queen and twin). Highly recommend this property for those wanting a getaway in the rainforest!

Magical stay in the jungle
We had two couples sharing this beautiful home. Our experience was amazing. We saw toucans monkeys and jungle life that we never expected. The sounds coming from the jungle were surreal. The house was set up with everything that we needed and was very clean. Our only complaint is that we were without water a few times during the week that was no fault of the owner. That’s just life living on a jungle mountain. We would highly recommend staying here. We would love to come back again someday. Five stars definitely!

Great house in a jungle setting
Great spacious house in a jungle setting on the mountains overlooking Uvita. Great if you are looking for tranquility. Clean and well equipped. Very nice pool. 2 rooms. One with double bed and the other with a double and a twin bed. 1 room has AC and the rest of the house remain fresh due to breeze coming in. Nice table to eat outside on the patio. Supplied with all linens and paper. Be sure to have a 4X4 as the road from town is well maintained but steep. Rolando was a great help accompanying us to the house and showing us around. Beautiful Uvita beach is just 15 minutes away.

Breathtaking, beautiful VRBO- highly recommend
This is the best VRBO we have ever stayed in for a variety of reasons. Lynn and Rob are warm, inviting and generous hosts. They have equipped their VRBO with all of the necessities plus some you could ever need for your trip. Everything from the kitchen to poolside conveniences, it was all there. They were quick to respond to emails and so kind. Their home is well cared for and a beautifully laid out design that works well for a couple(s) or a family to enjoy. It’s spacious, has room to relax privately or to gather together for dinners or games. Rolando, greeted us the day we arrived and was also very attentive, kind and friendly. We knew if we needed anything he was there to help us. However we didn’t, it was all provided for us the minute we arrived. The views and the surroundings were spectacular. We woke to the sounds of the howler monkeys every morning, and a family of toucans singing throughout the day (we could see in the nearby trees.) The sunsets over the breathtaking ocean views became our evening countdowns as it dove into dusk. This VRBO is close to town making the beach, grocery stores and restaurants all there within minutes. We loved every minute we were there and hope to return for many years. Thank you Lynn, Rob and Rolando, we are grateful to you for providing the best vacation we have ever had.

Mountain Retreat
With its stunning view Casa Toucan packs plenty of WOW factor and delivered a quintessential Costa Rica vibe. Highlights beyond the view was the daily drives up and down the mountain (a 10 minute one-way off-roading adventure), the 15 minute walk from the house through the jungle to a private river oasis, along with access to beach chairs and towels that made our beach trips more comfortable. Also the guest information book was very helpful, providing plenty of info on local activities and restaurant options with accurate reviews. Of note, the Whales and Dolphins mountain side dinning option has change owners and name. Beautiful spot. Rolando (the local property manager) was exceptionally attentive at checkin and throughout our stay. Wifi was fast and we convenient had good cell service consider how remote we were. The only aspects that caught us a bit off guard was that only the 2nd bedroom with a queen and single bed has glass windows and A/C. The remainder of the house is open air with screen. Wonderful to hear the jungle sounds flow in, but can be on the warm side for sleeping in the primary room. And as much as the screens were in good repair, we made use of the can of bug killer left by Rolando a couple of times. In all we were very happy with our stay and would book again in the future. Thank you to the Clark’s and Rolando!

Paradise in the jungle
We had a fantastic stay at Casa Toucan for a month. Lynn and Bob's home is as lovely as it is in the pics, even better.! It is beautiful, spacious and comfortable. Lynn and Bob have everything in the home you should need. We liked to have breakfast & dinner in most days and there was everything we needed to do so. There is even a frother for the milk for our morning coffee we so looked forward to having on the terrace after being woken 5:30 /5:40 am from the howlers and the birds. It was a great way to wake up. We normally do not enjoy a swimming pool but did we ever love this wonderful private pool, clean and fresh , we used it every am and pm . After a hot day away ,a swim and glass of wine on the pool terrace watching the sunset was a wonderful experience. The beds are comfortable and the screened in master bedroom will ensure a nice sleep in fresh air. Our adult children and their friends joined us for a few nights and they said it was their favorite place they had stayed in CR on their travels :) Yes, you definitely do need a 4x4 to get up the mountain,. You will get used to this journey up and down after a few trips. Rolando was great in meeting us and showing us the place. He was in touch if we had any needs/concerns. during our stay. If you want the feel of staying local, Uvita is a great town for this adventure . We would not hesitate to book Casa Toucan again. Joanne and Wayne

Paradis caché!
Notre séjour dans la casa toucan a été la plus belle partie de notre voyage au Costa Rica. Nous avons adoré la nature qui entourait la maison. Nous avons pu observer des toucans, des insectes surdimensionnés, un coatie, entendre les singes hurleurs, etc. La maison était super bien équipée pour se cuisiner de bons repas et profiter de la terrasse et des couchers de soleil. Beaucoup de plaisir la matin, le midi et le soir dans la piscine! Je recommande cette maison à toutes les familles 😉. C’était incroyable!

Jungle Haven
We thoroughly enjoyed Casa Toucan. Rolando was great at attending to all our needs promptly. Once we got used to the rough road up the mountain from Uvita it was great. We loved the roominess, open air feel, great terrace and warm pool and the jungle views from everywhere. Howlers woke us every morning at 5AM and we heard more birds singing by 6AM than we could ever I.D. Only saw the howlers twice in a month but lots of toucans, aricaris, guans and many more. Would definitely consider returning here in the future. Thanks so much Lynn for your great place and for accommodating our one year old grandson.

Peaceful and relaxing location
This is a very relaxing location, there is a small view of the ocean but the jungle valley view is amazing. We were woken up every morning by howler monkeys and birds. The house was well stocked with dishes and kitchen necessities as well as whatever you would need to head to the beach. It is not an "upscale" house but very very comfortable and clean. The property manager was awesome and responsive. We would highly recommend, however, you will need a 4x4 vehicle due to the steepness of the roads getting here. If you have never been to this area and are getting off the main road by the beach, all the roads are dirt/gravel and can be very steep.

It was a Christmas trip of a life time!
This home far exceeded our expectations. We felt the home was very private and exceptionally safe. Because of the open air feel of the home it felt that we were always living in the middle of the jungle. Woke up each morning to the sounds of monkeys and birds. The last morning spent enjoying great Costa Rica coffee on the patio and counted nine toucans. We got used to driving up the steep curvy roads to watch the amazing sunsets each evening. The house itself functioned perfectly for our family of five. Mechanically everything worked great, which could not be said for other family members renting nearby. The kitchen was fully equipped to easily prepare meals. The area had plenty to do to keep us all entertained. Several nearby beaches for boogie boarding, snorkeling, ziplined, waterfalls, deep sea fishing and wonderful restaurants and bars close by. My husband just enjoyed staying at the home to watch the birds, monkeys, neighbors friendly dog, swimming in the pool and great WIFI. Hopefully someday we will get to return to CASA TOUCAN!

360 Degree Rainforests, Animals, Sunsets, Oh My!!
I would like to give a sincere thank you to Lynn for allowing us to experience her AMAZING piece of Paradise with 360 degrees of jungle and an Ocean view. This house is stocked with everything you need and more, and has screened windows for cool breezes at night, where you become one with the jungle and it's amazing sounds! Early to bed every night, so we could awake at 5:30am with the jungle and the sounds and sights of the Toucans, Coati, Howler and White face Capuchin monkeys, Scarlet Macaws, and so many different Butterflies and birds all from the deck of a 40 foot lap pool I might add!! On most nights come 5:30 till 6pm we would sit out on the deck for some of the most spectacular sunsets , WOW! Down the mountain 10 minutes is Uvita with a couple of grocery stores, bank, restaurants, etc. Activities in the area include Whale's Tail, Nauyaca Waterfalls nearby, Atv, ziplining, Surfing, Nature hikes and so much more. Since coming here for 8 years now, this house in Paradise has by far been the most amazing experience we have had and has checked off everything we love about Costa Rica! So Grateful!

Peace in the Jungle
Once again we returned to Casa Tucan and it definitely did not disappoint. The house has such a great layout that you are literally sleeping in the jungle. One night in particular we were treated to a symphony of sound compliments of howler monkeys, birds, frogs and so much more. Everything you want and need is at the house - including a fabulous trail to waterfalls. We stayed for a week and literally left twice. Amazing house and property- thank you Lynn for sharing Casa Tucan!

Outrageous Canopy
Casa Toucan is more amazing than can be described in words. It is in the canopy. The nonstop wildlife viewing had me wishing for a camera tripod as I couldn’t stop shaking. So many bird species, butterflies, gigantic geckos and crazy insects. Even while resting inside in the afternoon we saw a gigantic green iguana traversing the canopy top. I heard monkeys but as my leg is broken I couldn’t chase them down. The pool is pure heaven and there’s always a little shade except mid-day. The house was perfectly clean and well stocked in the kitchen and elsewhere. Rolando is amazing. We didn’t have issues with the house but upon checkout had a flat tire. He showed up in minutes with a car jack to help us out. So rental car - Alamo has an office in Uvita and were insistent we take a new car as our tires were bald to get back to San Jose. Best rental experience Ever. 4x4 is a must. So if you really like nature (it’s loud around the clock) and can handle some heat (we struggled just a little but came from sub-zero) then you’ll never find a better Casa!

A fantastic house surrounded by dense jungle with a distant view to the Pacific.
My wife and I have just had a lovely week in Casa Toucan and the place definitely lives up to its name. We saw a pair of toucans and a multitude of other birds every day, particularly early morning and evening. We heard howlers howling and saw a couple high in the trees on our last morning. The house is extremely well-equipped and the kitchen lacks for nothing. There are ceiling fans everywhere and one of the bedrooms has efficient AC. The property is a at the end of a 3-km gravel track and a good 4WD vehicle is definitely required. We should also mention Rolando, the manager/caretaker. He couldn't do enough for us. What a star! To summarise, we had a great time and will definitely be back.

Jungle Paradise
Thank you Lynn and Rob, your home is magical! Privacy in the jungle with a 40 foot pool that also looks out to the ocean. We saw monkeys, Toucans everyday, Blue Morpho butterfly's, and many other bird species! The sounds of the rain forest every morning and night are just so relaxing, especially while floating in the pool! One of the fun parts was the drive up to the Casita, and after a couple times getting to know the road, it was a highlight :) Food is amazing all over Uvita and of course the local people so friendly!! You literally do not want to leave Casa Toucan to go do anything else...lol But if you do there is waterfalls, Whale's Tail, Manuel Antonio National park, and so much more to do and see. All I can say is "Pura Vida" Thanks to Rolando for answering any questions I had, which made us very comfortable knowing he was there to help if needed. Cheers, and would definitely rent again in a heart beat!!!

Beautiful, comfortable house in an amazing location!
Lynn and Rob were very organized and sent lots of helpful information for our first visit to Costa Rica and to their lovely Casa Toucan. The house is amazing, screens everywhere to let in the jungle sounds and the coolness of the high mountain air. We just loved how it felt like we were living outside but with the luxury of wonderful beds, beautifully decorated rooms and easy to navigate kitchen. We used the pool daily and what a treat it was, just perfect! The walk to the small waterfall was our first introduction to the jungle but the water was cool and a great reward. We also visited the Uvita waterfall just down the road and that was hours of fun, highly recommend. Rolando, the property manager, was very helpful and now we understand why he wanted to lead the way to the house the first time. The road is very steep, I was amazing our little 4 wheel drive could navigate so well. It is very easy to get lost if you don't pay close attention to the twists and turns. By the end of our stay we could arrive back home without getting lost and the town didn't seem so far down the road but that took a few days to feel comfortable with. But once at the house you are just surrounded by lush jungle, so many varieties of birds and their songs. We watched a large family troop of Capuchin monkeys play in the trees daily and will never forget hearing Howler monkeys for the first time. Once they were so close to the house you could hear them snorting before the guttural howl. All in all, this house and surrounding area was amazing and the best part of our Costa Rican vacation, the view down the valley to the ocean will never be forgotten. A huge thank you to Rob and Lynn for sharing their piece of paradise with our family. I hope we can come back again but until then we have the best memories to look back on.

Magical Getaway In The Jungle
How can we even begin to summarize this home and property?! It is truly magical!! Located just 10 mins up a steep(ish) hill (that was just redone while we were there) you have the most amazing view of the jungle and ocean, which brings a different sunset every evening, that can take your breath away. It’s beyond worth the drive, which you could even get to with a decent 2-wheel drive now that the road has been newly packed with gravel. Every morning we woke to the sounds of the jungle and all its creatures. Some mornings it would be the toucans greeting us good morning, other times it would be the howler monkeys, or a variety of chatty birds. At night we would listen to the frogs and crickets, and watch the fireflys diving about above the pool. Right, the pool! Perfect temperature to cool down anytime, always kept clean by the amazing pool keepers who you rarely see, and it’s big! Our family enjoyed the pool at least three times a day! The home came with everything we could need. Evvvverything. From beach stuff, a million towels, every kitchen appliance we could ever need, cleaning supplies, tv with cable and so many dvds! Stereo with a ton of cds to enjoy. Washer and dryer. Lots of chairs and areas to sit and relax all over the house and property. You could come here with basically nothing but our personal items and food and need nothing! We can’t express how much we loved this place and would stay definitely recommend it! Rolando the property manager was very helpful, respectful, trustworthy and just all around amazing. We contacted him about 10 times during our month stay and every time he was able to help. (Taxis, suggestions, vehicle mechanics, etc). Thanks Rolando!!! We hope to bring our family back to Casa Toucan soon!!

Amazing Pacific Ocean Sunsets!
Excellent location, a few minutes 4x4 drive above Uvita...40ft swimming pool, lots of toucans, a family of capuchin monkeys in the surrounding jungle, early mornings laying in bed listening to howler monkeys...spacious interior...well stocked with kitchen & dining cookware & utensils, beach towels/chairs, rain ponchos. Professional, attentive Tico caretaker nearby. Best of all were the evening sunset & moonset views over the Pacific Ocean...cameras or words cannot properly articulate their beauty!
