UP! HOUSE COSTA RICA - 2 cozy houses in Playa Chiquita

Welcome to UP! HOUSE COSTA RICA – your tropical home base in Playa Chiquita, where you can unwind, explore, and connect with nature. This private jungle property features two cozy and artistic cottages nestled in a lush tropical garden teeming with local wildlife. Both cottages are reserved together, making this the perfect spot for families, groups of friends, or travelers seeking a blend of comfort, privacy, and Caribbean charm.
The main house, UP! HOUSE, accommodates up to 4 guests. It includes:
Two bedrooms: one with a king-size bed (can be set up as two twins), the other with a full-size bed

A shared bathroom

An open-plan kitchen, dining, and living area that opens to the garden

A private terrace and a large hammock for lounging

The second cottage, MINI UP!, is a lovely one-bedroom house that sleeps 2. It includes:
A full-size bed

A private bathroom

A cozy living/dining area with a fully equipped kitchen that opens to the tropical garden

Together, the two homes comfortably host up to 6 guests, offering the perfect balance between shared spaces and private retreats.
Both homes are built from black laurel hardwood and feature local Bribri artwork, handcrafted décor, and indigo textiles that reflect the cultural essence of the region. You’ll sleep soundly in ultra-comfy beds with high-thread-count cotton sheets and plush pillows.
Modern comforts and natural beauty:
Symmetrical fiber-optic WiFi

Flat-screen TVs with Chromecast in every room

Bluetooth speakers

Ceiling fans and mosquito protection (nets, coils, ultrasonic devices)

Security system, private gated entrance, keyless locks, and two parking spaces

Each kitchen is fully stocked with everything you need to cook delicious meals, including a refrigerator, coffee maker, blender, toaster, utensils, and pantry basics like salt, pepper, sugar, flour, and olive oil. The main house includes a full oven and four-burner stove, while MINI UP! has a two-burner stove and toaster oven.
You’re just a short walk from the beach, gourmet markets like El Duende, cozy cafés, and fruit stands offering fresh produce, homemade bread, and pipa fría (cold coconut water). Bike rentals across the street make it easy to explore the whole Southern Caribbean coast.
Every day at UP! HOUSE COSTA RICA brings a new wildlife experience. Expect to spot howler monkeys, sloths, green macaws, toucans, iguanas, agoutis, hummingbirds, morpho butterflies, and more – right from your garden.

A Remarkable and Elusive Place

The UP! Houses in Costa Rica - what fantastic Casitas in the Jungle - we were so very fortunate to find. Our only issue was hardly the fault of Utopia Caribe - noise from the construction at the neighbors home next door starting well before 7:30AM! We were determined not to let this ruin our vacay. EVERYTHING else was the VERY BEST! There isn't anything I can add except this, if you're trying to decide on where to stay, look no further....We enjoyed the sounds and sights of the local creatures not far away, the restaurants and shops within walking distance, and, of course, the wonderful beaches. It rained early one morning; we sat out on the couches and never got wet - and never saw one bug! If ever we return to Playa Chiquita, it definitely will be at the UP! House.
Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2025
