2-Bedroom House Near Marino Ballena National Park in Uvita

🌿 A Serene Hideaway Near Marino Ballena 

Just over 3km from Marino Ballena National Park and Playa Uvita, this peaceful property offers quiet living with the option to renovate, rebuild, or develop. Cafes, restaurants, shops, and the iconic Whale Tail Brewery sit just 600m away. 

📍 THE LOCATION 

Set in vibrant Uvita, the home sits on a calm looping side street with effortless access. Because the street serves only local traffic, the property enjoys rare tranquility while still being close to everything. Access is too easy -  quick 500m drive brings you to the Costanera highway, the main route between San José and Costa Rica’s Southern Pacific.  

🏡 THE HOUSE 

This home embodies simple and tranquil tropical living. A welcoming wraparound verandah offers shade, breezes, and warm natural light. The verandah is pierced by a tree that grows through the deck and roof cutouts, blending architecture with nature. And, of course, a hammock and punching bag add charm, energy and relaxation. 

The patio flows into the home through a passageway, a kind-of wide opening and open windows, creating an indoor–outdoor kitchen with a fridge, sink, counters, and shelving. It’s a seamless transition zone that keeps the tropical vibe alive. Two bedrooms sit at opposite ends of the house, with the bathroom centered between them. 

🌴 THE LOT

The 500m² (0.12-acre) lot features palms, bananas, and small to medium trees. Its proximity to coastal jungle means toucans, macaws, blue morphos, sloths, pizotes, and anteaters can be attracted with feeders and preserved canopy. The long rectangular shape suits integrated development or the retention and further enhancement of a lush, natureforward layout. 

🏗️ DEVELOPMENT POTENTIAL 

Surrounded by thriving businesses—Airbnbs, hotels, cafes, pubs, shops, and services—the property is ideal for commercial use. Options include tourist lodging, longterm rentals, digitalnomad housing, or a small motelstyle project. A café, shop or restaurant could also be constructed in this beautiful space. The property’s blend of serenity and proximity to beaches, Marino Ballena National park, and mountain adventures makes it a highly desirable offering. 

Residential possibilities are equally strong: keep the home as-is for nature immersion, renovate it into a modern retreat, or add cabins, a pool, gardens, gazebo, BBQ Ranchito or a jacuzzi? Full redevelopment could support a multilevel home with an infinity pool, landscaped grounds, and expansive outdoor living. 

🌊 LOCAL AREA
