About this property

Ocean Melody...Fully Equipped, Walking Distance From Beaches, Garden and Pool!

For travellers who are looking for something more than budget, Ocean Melody is the place!

Private and comfortable for two guests, this new casita is located in the coast-side village of Bahia, only 800 meters from the main entrance of the Marine National Park Ballena and the beautiful wild beaches Playa Uvita and Playa Colonia.
Its location right behind the beach forest of the National Park, only 200 meters from the Ocean, provides a daily breeze and the constant magic melody of the sea waves.

The house is made of local cultivated, environmental-friendly certified pinewood. The sea breeze is reinforced by designed ceiling fans in all rooms and the porch; a fresh local ceramic floor completes the cosy feeling of natural immersion.
Air conditioning provides extra cooling in the bedroom. The queen sized bed is comfortable and equipped with 100% cotton bed and pillows sheets. A living room sofa bed is available for young families with kids.
The fully furnished kitchen is nicely decorated with South Italian tiles. It forms a unique space with the living room, and creates continuity with the external porch thanks to the phantom sliding door. You will enjoy the flat screen TV, with satellite and video library, on the comfortable micro-fiber textured sofa-bed and armchair.
The bathroom is bright and supplied with hot water system. There is a security safe for valuables.
The spacious external porch offers two rocking chairs to enjoy the sound of the Ocean, while navigating on a comfortable high speed wireless internet. Or you can just hang the hammock and lay, watching at the coastal jungle and experience the sight of a monkey or of a loud screaming pair of Scarlet Macaws!
The external tropical garden hosts a variety of tropical plants and it is equipped with a BBQ area, a round stone table and chairs, and outdoor shower. The parking place is private, gated and lightened at night.
The private pool and rancho will make your stay just perfect! The pool (6x3,5 meters) has internal stairs and a comfortable sidewalk where enjoying the sun and a fresh drink...or you can lay down on the pool lounge chairs in the shadow of the wooden (4x3 meters) rancho!

No 4x4 expensive rental car is necessary…actually you won’t need a car at all! The village of Bahia (an old farm that became a tourist destination after the national Park was created) can be easily reached by public bus. It hosts all tour operators organizing mid-day boat tours of the park or daily tours to the more distant and spectacular Caño Island and Corcovado National Park. You can hang around walking or cycling (bicycles available on request); go to the beach and take a low-tide walk to the world wide known Whale’s Tail; surf a wave at Playa Colonia when the tide raises; rest in one of the local sodas and enjoy a fresh fried fish or a natural fruit juice; or just buy some food and be back home………all within few hundred meters from Ocean Melody!

No need of inaccessible luxurious villas anymore…With Ocean Melody you can make your visit to paradise possible, optimize your money and enjoy unforgettable excursions, without renouncing to the comforts your vacation deserves!

Not quite what we expected
I guess the pictures are pretty accurate, but still, we didn't expect the house to be as small and rustic as it is. Think of it as a cabin in the woods. Outside area was nice and the pool was well maintained and good to have. The stove is tiny and rickety. Bicycles were very basic so we did not even try using them. Hot water in the shower had a problem cycling hot and cold, but the manager was able to rectify that. The local road to the house was like cobblestone and very rough and surrounding area did not feel very safe but the privacy gates and locks added comfort. Don't expect to sleep in -- the neighborhood likes to begin work in the morning (pounding on metal, grinding, working on cars, etc.) around 6am every day.

Quiet hideout in Bahia(Uvita)
We had a wonderful 3 weeks at Ocean Melody. Very private property with lovely swimming pool and Veranda. If you want to relax, this is your place. Great Beach within walking distance. Howler monkeys wake you up in the morning and arrive in the trees in the back yard in the afternoon. Massi is very easy to reach and responds to any issues in a timely matter. We would definitely stay at Ocean Melody again!

Outside paradise !
Absolutely amazing outdoor areas.. beautifully done and right in the middle of a tropical paradise. Perfect for 2 people. Loved having the pool and outside shower. The bike option was great. Took the bikes to beach and local sodas. Even in the evening rain on porches you stay dry. Would definitely stay here again :) and great communication!

Serene and beautiful paradise.
The property is spectacular! What sets this place apart is the beautiful outdoor space. Wrap around covered deck with couches, chairs, and tables. It has ceiling fans and recessed lighting everywhere! Perfect for hot and humid days and also for rainy days and nights. The back of the property is it's own wonder with natural and manicured native plants. The private pool is clean and we'll maintained. There is a locked entrance for security and privacy so it really gives you the feeling it's your own place. The inside is modest, but has all the amenities and comforts you want. The AC unit in the bedroom coupled with the fans cool of the entire home. The town is quite, charming and off the grid compared to up North. A lot more of an authentic vibe with way less tourists. I can't recommend this place enough!

A Warm and Welcoming Jungle Retreat
Ocean Melody is perfect for a memorable get away to Costa Rica. We had fund riding the bikes around Uvita with visits to the market , restaurants and the ocean. Enjoyed the yoga in the area. The birds, iguanas and monkeys were our daily visitors. My favourite activity was swimming in the ocean early mornings and at sunset. Massi was most responsive to any questions we had. Great experience.

Wonderful!
The house was exactly as advertised and communication was great. We enjoyed all of the nature right from our porch! The proximity to Parque Nacional Marino Ballena was awesome - stunning scenery. Everyone we encountered was kind and friendly. Highly recommend Carlitos restaurant and Que Tuanis Cafe. We would have enjoyed having a car to explore other places, but not having one forced us to really relax and the natural wonders of the area!

Perfect stay
We have been to Ocean Melody several times and it's been wonderful each & every time. The area in Uvita is close to the Whales Tale and great hike to waterfalls. The house has everything you need. Perfect cabin for a couple and beautiful clean pool and tropical garden in the back yard. The new colourful cushions on all the furniture was lovely. We really took advantage of the pool to cool off or lay in the hammock & watch the monkeys playing in the trees through our binoculars.

A REAL GEM
The inside of the cabin is as described. Small, very clean and functional. The outside decks and pool turn this into a 5 star accommodation. A true paradise in a rainforest setting. The huge wrap around deck is where we spent most of our time. It was difficult to pull ourselves away from the wildlife that showed up each day. Two kinds of monkeys, a sloth, scarlet macaw’s. iguanas and multiple birds visited thefts back yard each day. Our only disappointment was the 12.00 per day charge per person to get into the national park and the beach. A beautiful beach to be sure, but expensive for daily visits. Massi is the most responsive owner we have experienced. You can count on him to help out with anything you need. A fabulous visit to the cabin and the area. Don’t miss this one.

Perfect 1st stop on our CR vacation!
Loved this little place... close to Parque Nacional Marino Ballena which is an amazing place ($6 fee per adult per day but worth it!). Lots to explore in the area. Massi's place was perfect home base and respite during the afternoon rains (we visited during the rainy season in August). The back porch is fantastic and we spent most of our time at home either here, in the pool, or sleeping. The pool, by the way, is the cleanest pool we think we have ever seen and perfect refreshing temperature. Loved, loved, loved our stay. Thanks, Massi!

Pura Vida in a piece of paradise
My husband & I had an exceptional stay & we loved every minute of it. We had everything we need to enjoy a great home base for our first time adventure in Costa Rica. I am hesitant to leave an even better review because I don't want the price to go up & I want the property to be available next time we want to stay! Every thing is as pictured (although the pictures do not do justice). The property is comfortable, clean, beautiful and well stocked with everything you would need. We felt very safe and at home. Thank you.

Perfect for us!
We were two couples traveling together and rented both Ocean Melody One and Ocean Melody Two. The manager, Massi, was very quick to answer any questions I had. He also sent us all the information we would possibly need in an email before we arrived. The neighborhood felt quiet and safe. You can not see the ocean from either cabin. By the names, I thought we would possibly be able to, so I just want to give everyone else a heads up about that. Each cabin has it's own pool and that was perfect at night to cool down from the day. I would stay here again.

A terrific month at Ocean Melody
We rented Ocean Melody 1 & 2 for the month of February, 2020. We had 4 adults, 2 kids. The pools were perfect for the kids. The property is private. The neighbourhood is great, and with the bikes we were able to walk or bike for groceries, to restaurants, for ice cream, and to the beach. Throughout our stay we saw a ton of wildlife from our yards: white-faced capuchins, howler monkeys, toucans, iguanas, and many other birds. The house has everything we needed - coffee maker and supplies, rice cooker, blender, pots and pans, microwave, and in Ocean Melody 1- a toaster oven. The general area provided with opportunity for a lot of adventure all within less than an hour's drive. We will definitely miss this place and neighbourhood of Bahia Uvita. Thank you, Massi. Pura Vida!

Close to everything!
We really enjoyed this studio sized home. It was just right for the 2 of us. Everything you need is close by- lots within walking distance. (Though you CANNOT hear the ocean...howler monkeys-yes!) The house is clean and the pool is a great afternoon cooldown spot. The seating choices are less than comfortable, but we weren't around the house enough for that to be a real issue. The property manager was easy to communicate with and fast in his replies. The keybox is a bit tricky to fit all the keys in, but you only need to do that once. :) We would certainly recommend this house, and would come back for another visit!

About the host

Hosted by Massi

Host profile image
Adriano and I (Massi) are two Italians travellers who came to Costa Rica through different paths and met in this wonderful South Pacific area of the Country, known as Costa Ballena.

In 2003 we started the first Property Management Company of the area and, since then, have managed more than 30 luxury properties all along the Coast.

Thanks to our business, we have grown a large knowledge of vacation houses and the needs of foreign vacationers. At the same time, we haven’t forgotten the pleasure and necessity of traveling with a limited budget!

Why they chose this property

Ocean Melody is the synthesis of our experience, as it joins the accessible price with all the comforts travelers need during their vacation time.

You will enjoy the piece of mind of living in a cosy house managed by professional property managers, who live in the area and will always be available for assisting you!

What makes this property unique

We have built this Casita ourselves, giving our concept of vacation home to it . Houses along the Coast belong to two opposite concepts: on one side, very luxurious houses built by foreigners and provided with all comforts, but very isolated and very expensive; on the other side, local homes, with good rental prices but built without considering the basic comforts foreign travelers require.
Ocean Melody has been built looking for a joining point of these two concepts: Simple but with good taste, fully equipped for travelers’ comfort but without useless luxuries, private but not isolated, close to the beaches and still at a very accessible price!
