Description from owner
Description
The dream of finding that private spot, nestled in the jungle among nature and wildlife, is fulfilled by a stay in Casa Selva on Osa Vistas acres. Sit on the porch overlooking the Pacific shoreline, whitewater playing on the rocks below. Watch the toucans and a myriad of bird life pass right by. White face and Howler monkey's, sloths and pizotes are frequently seen passing through the canopy overhead.
Numerous guests have commented on the 'therapeutic affect' of Casa Selva. You truly unwind here. When Casa Selva is not available, and the guests ask for a referral to something similar, we are hard-pressed to come up with the answer. There simply isn't one.
From Casa Selva you can drive 15 minutes to either the world famous surf town of Dominical, or the thriving community of Uvita, complete with grocery stores, banks, ATMs, pharmacies, etc. Numerous sites and activities are all around: horseback waterfall tours, whale and dolphin tours, sport fishing, turtle vigilance, diving, surfing, ATV tours, the list goes on. The beaches are beautiful and the restaurants are great. Or, how about some quiet time in a hammock with a good book?
A stay at Casa Selva includes access to the pool, which overlooks the entire southern coastline. The pool is shared with the owners & one other rental making it an intimate crowd. Feel free to gather with us on the porch or at the pool to exchange tales of your adventures or remain quietly on your balcony with the animals...the choice is yours!
Casa Selva is perfect for a honeymoon, romantic getaway, jungle hideaway, or a family/friend vacation can be planned by adding the other two rental casas on the property. You can see another Casa on Trip Adviser Property #654721.Secluded in nature for privacy, but close enough to all the area has to offer.
The owners live on the property as well and are available to help with whatever you may need. They are willing to be as helpful as needed, or as invisible, if preferred.

“jungle cabin stay”
Enjoyed it very much and do not be afraid of rainy season. It was surprisingly pleasant and not very hot. Only rained mostly in afternoons after 3-4 PM and sometimes all during the night.

Response from the owner So glad you enjoyed it! Rainy season, as residents, is our favorite time of the year because it is cooler & greener. Altho it is hard to beat the warmth during cold season elsewhere ;)
