Espectacular
Llegás y te reciben un lugar encantador y unas vistas espectaculares. La casa es espaciosa, amplia, diseñada para descansar, con una piscina deliciosa y con espléndidos paisajes desde cualquier parte de la casa. Sus dueños son magníficos anfitriones que te hacen sentir bienvenido en todo momento. La casa cuenta con todo lo necesario para pasarla bien. En la noche se escucha los ruidos del bosque que facilitan un descanso profundo y acogedor. Lo recomendamos totalmente. Regresamos renovados. De fijo repetiremos apenas tengamos la oportunidad. Un abrazo y agradecimientos para nuestros anfitriones, en especial Lori.

Juan, It is true... the views and home are wonderful to relax and breath in the beauty. Getting away from those stresses of day to day life and even more so with the pandemic, this home offers a place to do just that and be with family and friends, protected and private. It was wonderful having you all enjoy the home. Sometimes there is nothing better than to just listen to the songs of the jungle and relax and be. It never gets old. Come back soon! Lori

Outstanding hospitality with unbeatable ocean views
Set in the beach town of Uvita, this is a stunning Costa Rica luxury home that has an open air design to blend traditional tropical style with contemporary chic. The two enclosed bedroom suites and the indoor-outdoor living spaces made this vacation house rental both practical and unforgettable for our whole group. There is an expansive terrace off the main living area that has 360 degree views of the mountains and ocean. With panoramic views of the coast and a pair of sun loungers nearby, the swimming pool serves as the villa’s outdoor centerpiece. At night, we watched the stars and the lights from the town of Uvita below us, listening to the sounds of the jungle. During our stay, we were looked after by our host, Lori, so we only had to worry about whether to stay at the villa or drive to the beach. She offered premium, on-demand assistance for any question. Lori provided a private chef who served us an unforgettable dinner at a very reasonable price. The chef prepared our meal, using mostly local food and flavors, fresh from the area. The dinner was prepared and served during the sunset and was an experience to remember. Lori also arranged for deep-tissue, poolside massages for me and my friend. The masseuse somehow without my telling, knew just the right pressure points and problem areas and gave an amazing massage. Outstanding hospitality in stunning natural surroundings, including unbeatable ocean views, this was a great value. We highly recommend!

Wonderful
Beautiful, clean, private, safe and comfortable house with wonderful ocean view, Lori is so kind. We also enjoyed local yummy dinners and breakfast served at the house. Also we saw 5 whales and three turtles in a tour that departs just 10 min from the house!

David, it was a pleasure to have both you and Ingrid stay on Finca Khan and to allow me to be of service. I hope to see you both again, you are only a couple of hours away after all. And remember, if you have a larger group, there is another 2b/2b home w/small pool as well . And another, soon to be available, 2 individual guest rooms w/private baths. Thank you again for providing me the opportunity to host you. Lori

King of the hill...top of the hip confort and wild views.
The slick, modern and open contemporary design of the lower living areas render a fantastic homage to the majestic whereabouts, with a surreal background panoramic view of the Whale´s Tail and ocean line. A healing getaway, a place to forget about time and real life. A threshold to a hidden paradise to be discovered: adventurous jungle waterfall within a 5 minute distance and a breathtaking bay where the Huntchback Whales from the Northern and Southern hemisphere meet to fall in love. A dense tropical rainforest all over the place with wildlife surrounding you all the way. Come and pamper yourself with this wonderful place, hosted by the unique warmth and kindness of it´s owners: Bobby and Lori.

Great place beautiful view
We enjoyed our three day stay at Lori’s amazing house. The view is stunning, it is absolutely prívate, and the bedrooms are really comfy. The kitchen is well-equipped and easy to cook in (we cooked two dinners) and there is a dining table on a lookout point at the edge of the property that is wonderfully romantic. The pool is great after visiting any of the nearby beaches and Lori is a very responsive host.

Excellent place to relax
The week that we spent at Lori’s house was amazing! We were looking to have a relaxing vacation. My two kids, husband and I enjoyed ourselves in a paradisiac environment. Saw monkeys, macaws, and heard birds at down; saw outstanding sunsets without leaving the place. For the first two days we didn’t leave the house, enjoyed the private pool and the view. There’re marvelous beaches near by, we visit Uvita (whale’s tail). Lori is an excellent host, she recommended many places to eat, visit and plenty activities to do. She made sure we have everything we needed. We will definitely go back as soon as we can. This was one of the best experiences we’ve had.

Amazing view and property
We had an amazing time at Lori and Bobby's house in uvita. The view was absolutely amazing and the house was gorgeous and perfect for our family of 5. Both Bobby and Lori were very welcoming and excellent hosts and I would highly recommend this place to anyone wishing to stay in the Uvita area (our favorite area in Costa Rica)

About the neighbourhood
While this rental is located in the jungle on a very private property it is within 10 minutes of beaches, grocery stores, banks, ATM machines, bakeries, restaurants, bars, pharmacies and medical clinics / doctors. You'll experience nature in your rental home and all the amenities a small town can offer.
Access
Car advised
How to get there
A 4x4 vehicle will be needed for the public road to the property and most of your excursions. Once you make the left at the BCR you will stay on the little “main” road. You will pass some stores a few speed bumps and then it will turn to gravel at which time there should be a cemetery on your right. Once you pass the cemetery there is a fork in the road – stay left. Continue to stay left on this “main” road (I believe there are maybe three right hand off shoots) until you see a long yellow concrete wall with a yellow gate and the name Finca Khan. Welcome!
