Introductory Rates Outstanding Luxury Villa

Tropical bliss awaits at Meridian House.

Located within one of southern Costa Rica's most desirable gated communities, this fabulous 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom vacation villa will take your breath away.

It starts with the property's unbelievable sightlines and sunsets.

Vast views of the Pacific Ocean are plentiful, with the world-famous Whale's Tail reef appearing and disappearing each day with the changing tides. Every room in the house has an ocean view. There's not a bad place to sit or sleep at Meridian House. When you're ready for a different perspective, there's an awesome outdoor BBQ and dining area with full jungle canopy views. This is where guests can witness Costa Rica's eclectic wildlife scene, with howler monkeys, toucans, parrots, pizotes, and blue morpho butterflies among the most frequent visitors.

When you're staying at Meridian House, you're vacationing in style.

The house, furniture, appliances, and cutlery are all kept in tip-top shape. Wireless internet is provided, and there are washer and dryer units available. The grounds and infinity swimming pool are maintained with regularity. In addition, the property management company, YouGetHere Vacation Rentals, is one phone call or email away to assist all guests. YouGetHere can help with tour reservations, in-home chef and massage services, car rental recommendations, and home-repair issues.

Guests at Meridian House enter the gated community by passing through a security entrance. The mountaintop community, Costa Verde Estates, features a tennis court, helicopter pad, and walking trails galore. It takes about 20 minutes to drive the 4x4 mountain road from the coastal highway to the property. All guests are required to have a 4x4 vehicle.

There are two different restaurants and a minimarket about halfway up the mountain road, so visitors don't always have to go into town for supplies or a bite to eat. The town of Dominical is a half hour to the north, with the towns of Uvita and Ojochal a similar distance to the south. Between those three towns are a series of gorgeous beaches and fun surfing spots. In the region, there are more than 70 different bars and restaurants, ranging from five-star cuisine to empanadas on the go and everything in between. If you're a foodie, you'll have plenty of options on the table from Dominical to Ojochal.

Meridian House has a capacity for six guests in total.

Each of the three bedrooms in the villa features an en-suite bathroom and air-conditioner unit. Two of the bedrooms, including the master bedroom, have king beds while the third bedroom has a pair of double beds. Located upstairs, the master bedroom is outfitted with a sensational ocean-view deck that serves as the best place in the house for spotting humpback whales as they migrate through the sea below.

When you aren't lounging poolside with a beverage in hand or working the hot grill laced with fresh fish, there are plenty of activities to partake in. Some of the most popular tours in the area include inshore and offshore fishing expeditions, snorkel boats, surfing lessons, canopy zip line rides, river rafting adventures, kayak trips, and horseback gallops. You can also hike to a waterfall, cruise down a mangrove, or take a ride to see the whales, turtles, and dolphins out at sea. If you're really feeling it, maybe get crazy and do a parasailing launch off the top of the mountain you're staying on. Or rappel down a waterfall. Then again, perhaps something a little less insane is in the cards, like a relaxing coffee tour or a stop at the reptile zoo.

Whatever your style of vacation is, from tranquil to extreme, southern Costa Rica has you covered. There's always something outdoorsy to do, and it's never cold in paradise.

Once you've decided on Costa Rica as the destination and it comes time to reserve the ideal vacation rental for your tropical getaway, there's no better choice than Meridian House. With privacy, style, comfort, and a true wow factor, Meridian House is the whole vacation-rental package, ideal for couples, families, and friends.

Meridian House, is a stunning property high in the Costa Rican cloud forest where magic is made on a daily basis. Book your dates today and come experience the allure.

A 4x4 vehicle is essential to access this property.

Check-in times are between 4:00 PM and 8:30 PM.
Check-out times are between 5:00 AM and 10:00 AM.

Great house
The house was amazing. It had everything you need from a great kitchen, pool, outdoor grill and very importantly an awesome view. The outdoor lawn was well maintained, very beautiful and it added to the overall stay of the house. The shower in the master bathroom did not have cold water. We did not bring it up since we were able to manage. Mind you, there are a lot of flying insects, some spiders, very beautiful butterflies but it's expected since this is not a suburban area.

Beautiful property with an amazing view of not just the whale's tail but Osa Peninsula in the distance. Secluded and private, well worth the drive up the mountain. Very professional and responsive team managing this property. Had no issues during our stay.

In the clouds
Overall a nice property, everything you would need is in the house. Although some beach chairs and games for the rainy days would have been nice. It’s a nice home but aesthetically it’s very sterile. Could use a little decorating help. Lots of space and kitchen very well stocked. It’s high up in the mountain which is nice but in the summer it rained a lot up high so our view was obscured most of the time. I wouldn’t recommend small children as the inside and outside has slippery tile.

This was my second time staying at casa Meridian. Pictures don’t do it justice. House is immaculate and up to date. The location is 5 stars! We saw tons of wildlife daily and anyone that is into bird watching, this is the spot! I saw a ton of rare birds during my stay as well as monkeys, Agoutis, Coatis, deer and an ant eater! Can’t wait to return! Thank you for the hospitality!

Amazing views
Views when you first walk into Meridian House are breath taking and are equally amazing in all rooms. Home is well appointed and A/C works well. Driving uphill to the home can be intimidating. Takes about 15 minutes and requires 4x4 (not AWD). Lots of flora and fauna to view on the property. Food and drinks at Scala restaurant (halfway up the drive to the home) were amazing. The wings at Jolly Roger Bar were okay, beer was ice cold, fries were really good, but no A/C or wi-fi. Wish we could give a better review, but home is starting to show its’ age. Little things needed to keep it amazing are not being done. Either mgmt company not making owners aware or are and owners not fixing them. Infinity pool is not working properly, even when full. Most lights in the pool burnt out or not working. Learned from the management company, the lights are on a timer that shut off at midnight. Both the dryer and washer were broke while there. Mgmt company quick to get someone to fix the dryer. In process of doing so, they broke warm water on washer. Internet connection great on first floor and patios, but sporadic in upstairs bedrooms. Can’t flush any products down drain in toilet. Took getting used to using waste cans provided. It would have been great to open all of the doors, but sadly too hot/humid and too many bugs/lizards. Beach chairs and umbrella for use would be nice. Sunsets are nice, but best views obscured by trees. Overall good stay, but could have been better.

Luxury in the Clouds
This house is amazing. It is literally up a mountain and you can see the clouds pass you by. The view from the house is so beautiful. The Whale's tail is right in the line of view. We had our family of 6 adults and we never felt trapped. Each room has it's own balcony or patio. The beds were fabulous. We even used the Private Chef they recommended and the food/service was unbelievable. Everyone was sad to leave and we will definitely return. We especially loved looking for the bird life and hearing the howler monkeys. You most definitely need a good 4x4 vehicle to get to the house. NO JOKE.

Absolutely amazing
Meridian house was a perfect place to stay in one of our favorite areas of Costa Rica. The property is stunning both inside and out. The drive up requires a 4 x 4 but that is well worth it once you arrive. Everything was top notch. Thank you

A Beautiful Stay
This home was absolutely perfect for our little family. There is certainly plenty of space for a larger group, but it was only the four of us. Ismael was helpful as we were planning and right through to our departure. The house was in excellent condition and well accommodated. We hired the chef service that was recommended by Ismael and Stephen and they were extraordinar Miguel, Francisco, Gary and Diego became part of our dinner experience and we learned so much about the area and the people through them. Our two weeks in this home were lovely. We had a 4x4 and had no trouble getting up and down the hill. We felt totally safe and walked most days. The kids used the tennis courts and we used the workout room. We'd totally stay in this home again and hope to come back to Domenical/Uvita again. We found everyone to be genuinely kind and professional. Thank you guys so much for your kind hospitality - Melissa and John

An absolute must
This property is gorgeous. The view in every direction is breath taking. From the back, you can clearly see Uvita, whale tail, playa Hermosa, and then Dominicaito towards the north. The sunsets are beautiful. From the front, you can see the mountains. One of my favorite views is from the floor to ceiling windows of master bath! The grounds are immaculate. Beautiful, lush and colorful. Honestly we woke in awe of the view every morning. It’s so quiet but the birds and bugs are constantly making noise. So peaceful. The home is clean, modern with a minimalist vibe. Not cozy and cluttered, but I like that. Very spacious. Every room has an amazing view! Fabulous kitchen! If you wanted to cook, it has everything you need including a large induction range! The outdoor pool area and porch with the grill and large dinning table is huge. Plenty of space to spread out! We did work out there every morning! Great loungers around the pool. There are no beach chairs, umbrellas, floats for the pool or outdoor games. Some other properties we have stayed at have a variety of those items. It would have been nice to have a chair or to for the beach… The drive. It’s a grind.. it’s a long way up and bumpy. But 100% worth it. But it may not be for everyone. It’s probably 20 mins to the main road, but once you are there, it’s 4-10 min to a beach in either direction. The restaurant Scala, is like 12 min from the house and it’s amazing with the best cocktails! The property manager was awesome. They use the whats app to communicate. Always quick to respond. We had them food shop for us prior to arrival. They organized everything and put it all away! If you like being up high, don’t mind bumpy rides, great views and a modern, clean home, this is the rental for you!!!

There is a little trade off because of the location. The views front and back are amazing, but the drive up & down the mountain require about 15 to 20 minutes to the main road. In my opinion the extra time is worth it! The layout of the villa is open and I would not change anything. Wake up every morning in awe.

Everything was great. The house has a lot of different nice places to enjoy! Great to have a BBQ. 20 minutes from the main road makes it somewhat long from the beach but who wants to go to the beach in this wonderful house. Th ocean view is the best

Stunning property
Meridian House is amazing!! We travel to Uvita a few times a year and this is by far the best property we have stayed at. Ismael was very responsive and helped to arrange for anything we needed. It takes about 15 minutes to drive up the mountain in a 4x4 but the view over the beach and Whales Tail more than makes up for it. Due to the lack of previous reviews we had a little apprehension in booking but in the end we were so glad we did.
