Amazing location.

House and pool were amazing. Views spectacular as was the location. Make sure you do have a 44 vehicle. We did not and the all wheel drive barely made it up the mountain.

Puntarenas Paradise

Absolutely amazing stay at Del Congos. Del, Patty and our host Adrian were treasures in so many ways. We have never been better accommodated. Adrian speaks beautiful English and was a wealth of information and a perfect Tico ambassador. The property is stunning. Comfortable, huge kitchen, bedrooms were thoughtfully designed to maximize air flow and comfort during the night.The pool with the slide and view of the famous "Whale's Tail" was incredible.Del and Patty arrived mid-week to start a stay at one of their adjacent properties. They were wonderful, warm, friendly and another great local resource. Del even helped me find a fairly large quantity of my favourite coffee from a local plantation. It felt like we had found new friends.A most enjoyable stay. Pura Vida!Rob & Cindy

Del Congos is breathtaking!

We had a terrific stay at Del Congos and words can't describe the beauty and gorgeous views surrounding the property! Our two kids ages 9 and 7 spent many hours playing in the pool and using the gorgeous waterslide (and parents too!). We also enjoyed many meals outside near the pool and lounging or reading books in the hammock. We had an amazing time on several tours that Del recommended including horseback riding at Rancho La Merced, a visit by boat to beautiful Corcovado National Park (saw 2 pumas, countless monkeys, wild pigs, a tapir, scarlet macaws, toucans, crocodiles, among many other jungle flora and fauna), and last but not least a mangrove tour out of Sierpe (we saw many crocs, birds, iguanas, a boa hanging out in a tree over the river, and monkeys galore). Del was very instrumental in helping us choose these wonderful activities and guiding us away from overly touristy places which we wanted to avoid. We recommend renting one of Del's personal cars as it was so important to have a solid 4WD vehicle to navigate the road to Del Congos and I don't think the airport rentals would be quite as powerful. The house is amazing and Adrian, the caretaker, is extremely nice and helpful. We highly recommend a trip to Del Congos in Uvita and take Del up on all his recommendations! Don't hesitate, just book it!

What a View!

We were a group of three adult females visiting Costa Rica for the first time. The house, property and pool are beautiful. I highly suggest allowing Del to schedule your transportation and excursions. All were flawless. The transportation to and from the airport was worth every penny. Don't be intimidated by the driveway. We rented the car from Del and once Adrian showed us how to navigate the driveway, it was no problem at all, even in the rain and dark. We saw lots of birds, had daily visits from agouti and coatimundi that we enjoyed watching.

Wonderful!

Had an absolutely wonderful time staying at Del's place. The house is beautiful and the kitchen well stocked for anyone wishing to prepare meals. The view of the Whale Tail from the second floor master bedroom is spectacular and Adrian the care taker is so helpful. The drive up the mountain as others have mentioned is interesting but definitely worth it! Will definitely stay again next time in the Uvita area!

This was our fifth trip to the same area in Costa Rica. Access to this property was a bit of a challenge with our four wheel drive rental, but a very comfortable home with a nice ocean view. The caretakers on the property were awesome people and very helpful. Looking forward to our visit next year!

Uvita and Dominical are nice small towns with great grocery stores. The national park service beaches in Uvita are great natural beaches. The host was very helpful and offered anything we needed. We would definitely stay here again!!

Great views and privacy in the jungle !

We had a great time with our family of 4 in this fantastic home. Home is private, had great views and is well equipped. Del rented us his vehicle which saves time at the airport and was very capable for the road adventure of ascending and descending the mountain. Del also arranged a round trip transportation to and from the airport in San Jose which was convenient. The driver (Gilbert) was very personable and stopped at points that were safe and had facilities for us. We had a great trip and are looking forward to returning!

Ideal Costa Rican Villa

The grounds are expertly maintained while the house is clean and organized, comfortably housing 7 adults. The views are utterly breath-taking - the infinity pool is especially luxurious and provides the perfect vantage point for viewing the whale tail beach. We had the perfect amount of seclusion and we could easily access many stores, restaurants, and activities. We also rented the vehicle available with the villa which turned out to be the best idea - highly recommended. Del is such a valuable resource on all things Costa Rica and the caretakers who live next door to the villa are so attentive, polite, and welcoming. Thank you for our unforgettable stay! We recommend everyone to stay here!

Great Uvita vacation

Del the owner made everything easy from start to finish. Communication was timely and renting his 4x4 was great, as it is definitely necessary to get around. He even made tour reservations for us at our request ahead of our trip! From zip lining, to Corcovado, to Nuyaca Waterfall all tours were outstanding. Everything about the house was first rate, from the million dollar view of the whale’s tail, to the beautiful pool. Best of all, Alex and Estafani catered to our every need, from daily laundry and cleaning to cooking us 2 wonderful Costa Rican dinners. All together a wonderful stay. Pura Vida!

Exactly What We Were Looking For

This house outside of Uvita is exactly as advertised.. It is out of the way and the drive is not too challenging if you have a good 4 - wheel drive vehicle. The interior is roomy and well furnished. The pool area and the view it provides is fantastic! The caretakers, Alex and Estephany were very friendly and helpful. The only minor negative we encountered was that the lighting in the bathrooms combined with the very small mirrors made it difficult for the ladies to do what the do. Over all our experience here was nothing but positive. Would we stay here again? We certainly would.

We Shall Return

We recently returned from our Honeymoon and had the best time at Del Congos. The property is absolutely breathtaking and the views are AMAZING! We receieved outstanding service from the property care takers and enjoyed getting to know Deigo and his family during our stay. During our stay we enjoyed exploring the area and had an amazing day deep sea fishing. After a successful day on the water, we took our fresh catch to "Exotica," a French Restaurant that was like no other. Another dining experience that we still talk about to this day, was our night at "Casa de Angel." This is a resort that is about a ten minute drive from the property. We liked it so much that we went back for dinner on our last night. We enjoyed being surrounded by such beautiful wildlife and we look forward to our next visit to Del Congos!

Costa Rica in the Rainy season

We had the pleasure of visiting Costa Rica mid November and by the sounds of it we went a the prefect time. NO CROWDS were the best part. The house was fabulous and had everything we needed, Alex and Estefany were gracious hosts who took great care of us during our stay. On the first and last night of our visit Alex and Estefany prepared two wonderful meals at the house. The views are stupendous and the house is located right outside of Uvita which overlooks the "Whale tail" of the ocean. A 41/2 hour jungle ATV ride was our highlight of the week followed by a 5 hour horseback riding adventure to Nauyaca Falls. The natives are wonderful, food was fantastic and the country is breathtaking. We really enjoyed our stay. Until next time."PURA VIDA"

Amazing property

This house was a slice of heaven!! You really felt as if you were living in an oasis in the middle of the jungle/rain forest. The views are breathtaking of the whale tail. My son loved the pool slide!! We even took a little family hike during our stay to take in our surroundings. The lights did go out our last night while I was cooking, but thank goodness there was a bbq pit and my hubby finished cooking our dinner… That was the only challenge but that’s normal in Costa Rica. The other challenge was getting to the property, but we called the owner and he had Alex meet up with us to guide us the rest of the way… After the first day my hubby knew his way up and down the mountain and around town. My family and I will definitely be back..

About the host

Hosted by Del Chmielewski

My wife and I have lived in Wisconsin all our lives. I owned a CPA firm and we love to travel to exotic places. This is our dream retirement home.

Why they chose this property

In 2000 a friend recommended that we visit the Uvita Costa Rica area. We fell in love with the area and bought land in 2002. It is the only area on the Pacific Coast where the mountains come right down to the ocean making it the most dramatic landscape. Uvita area has the following amenities: National Park with Whale Watching,200-500ft waterfalls,Best Deep-sea fishing in World,Most eco-diversity in World, Many Americans who live there. I call it the 'Naples of Costa Rica' and many have chosen it as Home because they many say " there is powerful energy forces in this area"

What makes this property unique

The best most expansive (50+ miles) oceanviews in all of Costa Rica as verified by our Internet provider.One of the largest private lots in our development 13.3 acres , which means more privacy for you.
Friendliest , most helpful caretaker as witnessed by our reviews
