Place yourself in the heart of the Costa Rica jungle with a stay at beautiful Villa Dalu.

From the moment you enter the property at Villa Dalu, you'll be surrounded by a lush, tropical rainforest where budding starfruit, lime, and mango trees dot the driveway. Wild birds and howler monkeys will provide the soundtrack for your mornings, while immaculate sunsets rule the evening hours and privacy is always paramount.

Located just a few clicks north of the southern Pacific coastal town of Uvita, Villa Dalu is a 3-bedroom, 2 ½-bath luxury vacation rental property that is ideal for up to six guests. Children are always welcome at Villa Dalu.

The grounds feature a fantastic infinity swimming pool with sweeping jungle views and a partial ocean view. As is a custom in Costa Rica, there's plenty of outdoor living space with a BBQ, pool lounge chairs, and plenty of kick-back seating. With temperatures hovering in the '80s day and night, there's never a bad time to take a dip in the pool at Villa Dalu.

Walking through the front door, you'll be swept away by the villa's stunning ceiling-to-floor glassdoor sightlines and vaulted wood ceiling. From the kitchen table, you can literally watch toucans and hawks buzz past these windows in search of their daily meals. It's an awesome ritual that puts you right in the middle of the jungle action.

The home is also fully stocked with all of the proper equipment you'll need for a fulfilling, yet relaxing, vacation, including new cooking utensils, a blender, coffee pot, and dishwasher. Other home amenities include a washer and dryer as well as wireless internet.

As mentioned, there are 3 bedrooms and 2 ½ bathrooms total. Two of the three bedrooms feature king beds, while the third bedroom has a pair of twin beds. Each bedroom has an air-conditioning unit. The master bedroom features an en-suite bathroom and direct access to the pool deck, with spectacular views as well.

From the international airport in San Jose, it takes about 3 ½ hours to drive to the area where Villa Dalu is located. You will need a 4x4 vehicle to make the short drive up the mountain from the coastal highway. From the property, it takes 15 minutes to drive into Uvita town, where you'll find grocery stores, pharmacies, banks, restaurants, bars, and shopping.

There are also some exciting tour activities nearby, including deep-sea fishing, surfing lessons, ATV rides, SUP tours, kayaking, snorkeling, river rafting, canopy zip lines, horseback riding, and a couple of epic waterfall hikes. The beaches in this zone are among the nation's finest, including the world-famous Whale's Tail reef, which you can actually see from the property when the tides are right, as well as the mesmerizing sea caves of Playa Ventanas.

Villa Dalu is managed by YouGetHere Vacation Rentals. From the time you inquire about the property to the day you check out, the YouGetHere staff is always an email or phone call away to assist with any questions or concerns. We also have great local contacts for an in-home meal and massage services, as well as connections with the best tour operators in town.

YouGetHere Vacation Rentals features concierge service to assist with car rental reservations, airport shuttle rides, local tour bookings, as well as the top in-home chef and massage contacts in town. Whatever you need to make this tropical vacation an exceptional experience, YouGetHere is ready to work for you

It's rare to get to spend quality time in a place as awe-inspiring as Villa Dalu. There just aren't many locations like this on Planet Earth, where you step foot out your front door and are immediately standing in a tropical jungle. But the good news is we still have space available for you and your crew at Villa Dalu. From this point forward, it's up to you.

A 4x4 vehicle is essential to access this property.

We stayed at 6 properties over the course of 8 weeks in Costa Rica. This was by far the best of all. The views of the Pacific Ocean and cano island were outstanding and the infinity pool was used daily. The property enjoys great air circulation as all rooms have high quality large screen doors and great ceiling fans.The YouGetHere team is fantastic to deal with and the house is very clean with fantastic kitchen space. Book this house if you are looking for a great place in the southern zone.

Absolutely wonderful house and location. Our 12th CR visit and this house took over the top spot for us, and we have stayed in many great houses. 10 min drive up mountain is paved 99% of the way, that is rare experience vs the dirt bumpy roads to most houses. You will not regret spending your vacation in this slice of paradise. Tucans love the place also with daily morning and evening visits with up to 7 in one tree on my visit.

The villa is very well equipped, everything is clean and the fittings are high quality. The location is incredibly beautiful, surrounded by many plants and offering a wonderful view. With the fly screens on the windows, you can leave the doors open all day and don’t need air conditioning. The road to the villa is easy to drive on, on a paved road with only the last 500 meters unpaved, but that’s not a problem. We’re excited to come back soon. We can hardly wait to return.

Perfect! Beautiful surroundings. Clean, gorgeous villa with everything you need to sit back and relax and enjoy all the natural beauty of Costa Rica has to offer. Highly recommend!

Absolutely stunning property. The property owner and staff were very kind and communicated very well on our check in day and check out day. The villa is amazing, nature all around. We loved how the main living room and kitchen was open to the outdoors. Large glass sliding doors with screen, perfect. My husband and I are already making plans to come back!

Little piece of Heaven

The house and pool were amazing! We sat in the pool every afternoon and watched toucans, hummingbirds and other beautiful birds fly around in the back yard. The location was perfect for us and all the adventures that we went on. We were so sad to have to leave our little piece of Heaven! I would recommend to anyone!

As Advertised Concierge Level Service

Property was just as advertised—very clean and well appointed for our weeklong stay. We do a lot of VRBO rentals, and some can feel cluttered or poorly managed. This home felt thoughtfully put together. The views are amazing, and the morning toucans were a great bonus. The You Get There team helped us plan several excursions, as well as an in-home massage and private chef dinner.The only downside is that there’s no A/C in the main living area. Since we visited in July, it got a bit warm during the day and some evenings. I would have preferred A/C in all rooms, but that’s really our only complaint. Great value for an excellent experience.

Great house!

We loved the property. Very clean and organized. The only reason I gave the location 4 stars instead of 5 is the long bumpy driveway and road to get there. It does not make it conducive to lots of coming and going. You must have a 4 wheel drive vehicle. But once you arrive at the location it is beautiful and we felt very safe. Lots of Toucans and other birds flying about!

We’ve been to Dominical and Uvita numerous times and this house was hands down the best. Not to mention the fantastic management company You Get Here. This is the second time we have used them and we will never use another management company when we revisit the area. Stephen, Ismael, and Jonathan are really the best. Don’t think twice, book it now!

No A/C In the kitchen and living room/ main room

The house does not have A/C in the main room. This made it uncomfortable to hang out when the humidity and temp are both above 85 The property looked nice except for the plastic tarp on the roof was not the nicest thing to see every time you drive in. The inside of the house is very nice and modern but the couches and chair are not very comfortable and are worn out.

Gorgeous Villa Dula

We loved this Villa. It is tranquil and private and has the most mesmerizing view of a beautiful rainforest overlooking the Pacific Ocean. The home has lots of room for 3 couples but we were on our own and relished having all the doors open at all times to hear the sounds of nature. they are all screened but having the doors all open at breakfast is a recommendation! Gorgeous at all times. Amazing bird watching. We did also see howler monkeys. Bring your binoculars!! The pool is fabulous and we spent a lot of time at the villa when we weren’t at a beach or hiking at SaintLuciaFalls.com (just up the road and a fabulous time!). The kitchen has everything you need and is fully stocked for cooking and entertaining. The fridge makes ice! There is a great BBQ and laundry facilities. And fruit trees! We used lots of limes! There are only positive things to say. We really loved it and highly recommend it for one couple or up to 3… or a family. The property managers were also excellent and very responsive to any needs or questions or requests. Don’t hesitate to book this place!
