You will find it is always said with a smile and you will take the feeling with you for life. As you settle into your jungle home, you’ll understand why this beautiful country is rated as one of the happiest places on Earth. We invite you to come and discover why. This magnificent home is strategically situated above the village of Ojochal in an old-growth jungle with the relaxing sound from The Waterfall of Ojochal just down the road. Having the river nearby, along with a wide variety of flowering/fruit/seed plants and trees surrounding the property attracts monkeys, toucans, hummingbirds, macaws, pizotes and sloths throughout the day. Just far enough up the mountain at an altitude of 720 feet, you are perfectly located to experience a slight temperature decrease and light mountain breezes. This altitude also secludes you from the traffic noise from the Ruta 34 highway and massively reduces or eliminates annoying flying insects such as mosquitoes. You are just minutes from the beaches on the South Pacific Coast. Humpbacks from both hemispheres travel thousands of miles to have their calves in this area. There is excellent whale, dolphin, and sea turtle watching. We are a little more than halfway between Manual Antonio, the most popular park in Costa Rica and the famous Osa Peninsula. There is a lot to see and do within a short distance of your home base. National Geographic named our area one of the most bio-diverse areas on the planet. It is a nature lovers dream. The food, oh the food! The village of Ojochal and the surrounding area offer the best food in Costa Rica and some of the best we have had anywhere. Expats from around the world have settled here and created the culinary capital of Costa Rica. We can recommend multiple restaurants in the area, many of which are just down the hill. The water from the faucet is mountain spring and you can drink it without issue. Forget the plastic bottles. Step into a world of comfort and luxury at our haven in Costa Rica, "Bali Bali Bueno." This exquisite retreat boasts three bedrooms and three full baths, divided between the main house and a private casita. Indulge in European king-bedded linen sheets in the two primary suites in the main house and queen European linen sheets in the casita, ensuring dreamy nights. An inviting sofa located in the living room of the main house has a twin pull-out bed that awaits an extra guest or little ones. The upstairs master suite is a sanctuary with a full ensuite bathroom and a wrap-around covered deck that immerses you in the surrounding jungle. Leading up to the 2nd floor is a floating staircase, be mindful if you have small children as a safety measure. A full bathroom downstairs is conveniently situated off the kitchen and just steps away from the downstairs primary suite. This suite has large sliding doors which open up to views and access to the outdoor living space & inviting pool. The private casita treats you to a half bath, an enchanting outdoor shower, and even an induction cooktop and refrigerator. Embrace your inner chef in the thoughtfully designed kitchen, featuring a custom circular bar, all within a captivating open-concept great room. Yet, the true beauty lies outdoors – a haven of covered seating, perfect for gathering loved ones. Dip into the inviting pool adorned with imported Balinese tiles, accompanied by ample seating and a table for refreshing moments. Ready for beach escapades? We provide you with beach chairs, towels, hammocks, coolers, and boogie boards. A washer and dryer stand at your service, making life easier. Delight in culinary delights; either whip up your own creations or opt for a private chef, effortlessly arranged through your dedicated 24/7 concierge. The house is easily accessible compared to most mountain homes, however a 4x4 is still recommended. When you turn into Ojochal off the highway, there are paved roads until you reach the bottom of the mountain. Then, it is about a six-minute drive up a rock and dirt road (Calle Cascada) to the house. It is very private, near the end of the road. A large iron gate will allow you to access the house so you can feel completely secure during your stay. We spent many years visiting Costa Rica to find the perfect home and location, and we are excited to share it with you. This is not a resort town. It is an agrarian area with beautiful farms and unspoiled beaches and jungle. It is a place to explore, discover, take an adventure, or relax in paradise. We would love to welcome you as a valued guest in our tranquil paradise @ Bali Bali Bueno off Calle Cascada. Once your booking is confirmed, a 33+ page Welcome Guide will be sent to you with travel tips and hyperlinks on countless adventures, restaurants, and more, allowing you to focus on your memorable trip ahead and not having to do research if you don't want to. Paradise awaits! ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach loungers - Beach towels ### Pool/Spa - Massage - Outdoor pool - Private pool ### Internet - Available in the villa: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Electric kettle - Ice maker - Kitchen island - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Stovetop - Toaster ### Dining - Breakfast available for a fee - Chef service ### Bedrooms - 3 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 3 bathrooms - Bidet - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Living room ### Entertainment - Books - Games - Music library - Smart TV ### Outdoor areas - Balcony - Barbecue grill - Garden - Outdoor furniture ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Work spaces - Desk - Desk chair ### Comfort - Air conditioning ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Concierge services - Housekeeping (on request) - Safe ### Location highlights - In a village - Near the sea ### Things to do - Golf - Tennis - Water sports equipment ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher - Deadbolt lock ### General - At least 80% lighting from LEDs - Garden - Housekeeping (on request) - Locally-owned and organized tours and activities ## Similar properties ![Pool](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/77000000/76340000/76335100/76335098/54da2bd1.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Private Jungle Villa w/ Pool + Ocean Views, Uvita Uvita - Pool - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer 10 Exceptional 64 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-06&endDate=2025-11-07&selected=76335098&PinnedHotelID=76335098&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/111000000/110740000/110730100/110730086/4b37af8c.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### NEW!

The property is set up into the jungle. We saw monkeys climbing in the trees right off the back porch. The pool was well maintained and a perfect escape from the heat. It's a quick drive down to Ojochal, a growing but still quaint town with every amenity we needed. Everyone in the area was super nice and left us with a desire to come back soon! ##### Brandon O.

The rustic house is cool so no need for ac while we were there, although there are airconditioners in the bedrooms. The staircase to the upper level is interesting and so due to our mobility issues we stayed downstairs. Our friends stayed in the casita and loved it, especially the view from their bedroom and the outdoor shower, The pool is lovely and well maintained. The outdoor area was the highlight with the comfortable seating and lots of covered space so that you could escape from the sun. The road in is rough in parts, so a 4x4 is essential. We did miss the convenience of a dishwasher. We hope to return. ##### Jane H. Stayed 35 nights in Jan 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kyle D.

Somehow, they still do not manage to do it justice. Incredible home, incredible property, incredible location. Dawn (the property manager) met us upon arrival, made sure we had everything we needed, and remained available to answer any last minute location-specific questions that our group had. Thank you, Dawn! We had no issues with anything at the house during our stay. Water worked properly, pool was clean, and the propane tanks were full. Thank you, Andrea & Derek! ##### Kyle D.

May 16, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### A secluded sanctuary A comfortable, secluded, and secure retreat in the rain forest above Ojochal. Everything worked well, including the air conditioning, power and solar backup, hot water, and barbeque. The property manager was welcoming, informed, and very responsive to all our questions. Surprising benefits were the proximity of a well-appointed supermarket, and high-end shops in Ojochal, including deli, juices and smoothie bar, bakery, restaurants, and more (we didn’t know anything about these going in). But what we loved most were the birds and butterflies, which were diverse, abundant, and in-your-face, because the forest is close on all sides. There is a walkway under the eaves around the upstairs bedroom, giving 360-degree viewing at canopy-level. There is also excellent birding above and below along the unfrequented access road, meaning one doesn’t have to drive. But other habitats are accessible within half an hour’s drive, including the beach (can you tell we’re birders?). Shockingly few bugs for early wet season in the tropics – how come? Overall, our stay was relaxing, and full of delights and wonders. What more do you need? ##### NJ G. Stayed 7 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### tamara h.

Bali Bali Bueno, surrounded by the beauty and sounds of nature, was the perfect place for our family to spread out and come together! The property was fully equipped with everything we needed!! The games, puzzle and boogie boards were definitely a bonus for this family. The outdoor shower was pure bliss. And I personally appreciated being able to reference the Costa Rica Wildlife brochure. Andrea's extensive welcome guide offered an abundance of helpful resources. Both she and Dawn checked to make sure we were comfortable during our stay. In addition to many local restaurants and waterfalls, we enjoyed several beaches, surf lessons, jet ski and atv tours, and Parque Nacional Manuel Antonio. I highly recommend Bali Bali Bueno and wouldn't hesitate to visit again! ##### tamara h. Stayed 17 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### joseph G.

We stayed for two weeks and it was exactly what we thought it would be: relaxing and fun. The pool is awesome and was the highlight of our stay. The kitchen is equipped with everything you could want, even a blender! There was enough coffee to get us through our stay in the fridge which was very appreciated! The owner provided a beautiful welcome basket and a very detailed and helpful welcome guide that included an extensive list of restaurant options, tours, waterfalls, beaches and more. She even brought a pack ‘n play for our toddler so we wouldn’t have to share a bed. The property manager was incredibly communicative and helpful and it was apparent that both she and the owner cared about the quality of our experience. The only thing we had to be super cautious of while having a toddler was the open stair case. Other than that we had a wonderful stay. Thank you so much! ##### joseph G.

We had a fantastic time at Andrea's house! We did have a rough three days to start with due to the bulk of the time being in a power outage (and the solar running out of power), but that is life in the jungle I guess, and totally out of Andrea's hands!The area is lovely; you're a 10 minute drive away from the best food in the area (Ojochal restaurants beat out Uvita and Dominical restaurants every day), a 35 minute drive away from great surfing, and a short drive away to do many of the other activities in the area (beaches, waterfalls, hikes).We spent a ton of time just hanging out in the pool as well. We ended up with a kid with strep throat on our trip, and managed to communicate with the pharmacy down the road via WhatsApp to get a diagnosis and medicine, probably more efficiently than we would have back at home in Canada. The air conditioning and nice lounge areas throughout the home were much appreciated with him being stuck there a good chunk of our trip. The beds were comfortable (firm!), the tap water being drinkable, the tv upstairs in the bedroom and comfy lounge areas outside were all nice aspects that go a long way on vacation. The outdoor shower was maybe my fave part of the trip!We've been to Costa Rica quite a few times now and this was one of our top houses for sure! ##### Tara B.

This beautiful house accommodated our group of 6. Every room had something special to offer. The house is clean and beautifully decorated. Our fav spot to hang was surely the outdoor area. The scenery is unlike anything we had ever experienced. Beautiful views from every angle. We saw (and heard) howler monkeys and toucans every day. Going to sleep and waking up to the sounds of Costa Rica was amazingly therapeutic. Property manager was a huge help - Dawn went above and beyond to ensure our stay was a 10/10. We will cherish our memories at Bali Bali Bueno for a lifetime. ##### Melissa H. Stayed 6 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jeremy B.

In an awesome neighborhood. Very private and beautiful views. Higher elevation, cooler temp compared to the beaches which are a short drive down the mountain. Tagua is a must for coffee, trust me. I am in the coffee business and this is the coolest and greatest coffee shop that exists. Ojochal is such a beautiful and unique little town surrounded by the most lush jungles and beaches. Andrea and Derek, the owners are fantastic people and great communicators always willing to help. Dawn and Steve are also great local hosts! You will for sure enjoy your stay. Your chance to embrace and connect with nature at its finest. The pool. The views. The vibes. ##### Jeremy B.

We have been Costa Rica 'Pura Vida' lovers for 10 years now! This is a beautiful home in lovely Ojochal, surrounded by thriving wildlife in a lush tropical rainforest. Only a short 20 minute drive down to the most pristine beaches of Costa Rica. The quaint, safe and friendly village of Ojochal is definately one of our favorites. Unfortunately, we were inconvenienced with daily water shortages to the house and relative water pressure issues thoughout the villa, that put a damper on our first week of vacation. Not our typical relaxing Costa Rican experience, but thankfully, to accomodate our next 2 weeks of the 3 booked, we were offered an upgrade to another beautiful home. The property manager was on top of the situation and very helpfull to address our concerns. The owners assured that the problem was being addressed immediately and the repair would be in order ASAP! With water issues restored, we would definately recommend this unique, charming home! 4 Canadian, loyal Costa Rica travellers :) ##### Annik S.
