Fabulous!

What a wonderful few days at La Libelula! It all began with the welcoming message from Nicolas and the near white-glove service provided by the kind and attentive Licho.The house and grounds are so wonderful! It is a garden paradise. For our family of 8, we had ample room. One might want, as we did, to spend the majority of our time in the many lovely outdoor living spaces, anyhow.We cannot wait to come back!

We had a blast staying here. The property was everything that we imagined. The host did a great job communicating and the couple that manages the property made us feel at home for the 2 weeks that we were there. We enjoyed their recommendations for activities to do in the area as well as their helpfulness coordinating our rental car and even preparing several delicious home-cooked meals for our family. We highly recommend this area and this home for anyone looking for a tropical getaway!

Beautiful, private home in Uvita

What an amazing stay!! We were supposed to be traveling with 8 but plans changed and there were only 6 of us. The home is stunning and more than enough space for the 6 of us! Licho was available and helpful beforehand and throughout our stay - and Darling cooked us two separate meals that was delicious! Highly recommended setting up dinner with her the night you arrive. The outdoor space is better than even the photographs show - if you can imagine! Our kids loved starting and ending every day in the pool.

Even better than the pics

We stayed for 9 days (in rainy season) and its was amazing! The house is lovely, comfortable, clean and spacious. Licho (the house manager) is very helpful and friendly. You will not be disappointed! Note: You will definitely need a 4-wheel drive car to get up the hill into the house, as it is very steep.

Spacious house in perfect location

My wife, 3 children, and I enjoyed a wonderful stay at La Libélula for 6 nights. We were greeted the first night by the caretaker Licho, who met us in town and showed us the way to the house. We really appreciated this as it was getting dark by the time we arrived. The house is beautiful, spacious, and clean. All of the bedrooms are upstairs, which we liked since we have young children. The outside area is stunning with an enormous pool and multiple areas to relax or enjoy meals. We saw lizards, agouti, white-faced monkeys, and many types of beautiful birds like toucans and macaws during our stay. The house is minutes from Uvita with beautiful beaches, grocery stores, restaurants, a nice brewery, and a wonderful bilingual urgent care center, which we visited when our kids had ear infections from swimming in hot springs earlier in the week. Licho is an outstanding caretaker. He is very warm, welcoming, and helpful. We really felt at home during our stay because of his attention and care. We enjoyed a delicious homemade meal one night made by Licho and his wife Darling. We felt very safe during our stay as the property is gated and Licho’s house is nearby on the property. We only wish that we had more time here- it was hard to leave at the end of our vacation!

Paradise!

The pictures of this property do not do it justice. Most houses have at least one bedroom that nobody wants. That is not the case here. The house is open, stylish and functional. The pool and pool area are top notch. This was our 3rd time to the Uvita area and the best house so far. Licho and his wife were amazing. We would defiantly stay here again.

Paradise!

Our stay was nothing short of extraordinary! We traveled with 2 families of 4 and had more than enough space to never feel crowed. The setup is perfect. This property was truly just like a resort. We were surrounded by beautiful views and plants in every direction. The wildlife kept us all entertained. Monkeys, lizards, macaws, and toucans visited daily which our kids loved. You can’t beat floating in the pool while watching monkeys swing from the trees around you! Licho, the property manager, was so helpful and accommodating in every way. We never want to travel again with our very on Licho lol. We had his wife, Darling, prepare our dinner the first night we arrived and it was so delicious we did it again on our last night. Darling made the best fried chicken we have ever eaten! We had the best time getting to know Licho and Darling and are blessed to call them friends. I highly recommend this property! Honestly it’s like a vacation in itself. You won’t want to leave. We definitely plan to come visit again!!!

We had a wonderful time staying at this property. Views and wildlife were amazing. Easy access and close to town, but so wonderful there is no need to leave. House is huge and pool is very large. Licho is a great host and darling prepared us some excellent dinners, would highly recommend ordering from them at least one night of your stay.

My mom, daughter, and I stayed here in December for a girls trip and had a wonderful time. The property is gorgeous with stunning, natural landscaping. The outdoor space was so comfortable that we were just as content spending a day in the pool as we were exploring the beaches and jungles. We saw a few monkeys, toucans and other colorful birds, lots of lizards, and geckos galore. The inside of the house was simply perfect. While larger groups would have plenty of room, it was perfect for our group as we each had our own space to go to when we wanted. Nicolas was very helpful from the time we booked and was always responsive and helpful. He arranged to have groceries at the house when we arrived as it was late at night and gave us the name of a friendly driver, Gilberth, who picked us up from SJO and drove us to the house. If you’re planning a trip and flying into San Jose, I highly recommend hiring Gilberth and renting a car in Uvita, which can be dropped off at the house. Licho is absolutely wonderful and was such a delight at every interaction. He made sure we had everything we needed and that everything was perfect. We had Darling make Casado for us one night and I agree with others who have said it was the best meal of the trip. She made a magical sauce/stew dish that goes over rice that I still dream of. We couldn’t have asked for a better location, so close to everything in Uvita. Los Laurales and Mosaic were spectacular restaurants nearby. We can’t wait to go back!

Great family home base

A fantastic place for a multi-generational week in Costa Rica. Easy to stay home and enjoy the pool and amazing surrounding wildlife but also easy access to the beaches and nature reserves and parks in the area. The on-site caretakers were lovely and the ability to have some home cooked meals a big plus.

Second time

This is our second visit to Casa Dragonfly. The property is gorgeous and well maintained. The location is ideal, up in the hills but close to town and great restaurants. Be sure to book a surf lesson with Jeudy for Costa Rican Explorer. Bagel time, and pizza time are a quick ride away. Mosiac has great sushi. Oxygen Jungle villas are a day pass and massage.

Slice of Heaven!

La Libelula is a DREAM! This has been our family's favorite travel home yet. When we arrived to town, Nicolas met and led us to the gated property. The location is prime in relation to Soda's, restaurants, excursions, beaches, ATM & groceries. Licho & Darling the property caretakers were top notch. The house was spotless and the pool & deck were ready for us every day to enjoy. It was a luxury and comforting knowing that we had them available if we needed anything. Darling cooked us a traditional Tiko meal that was our favorite of the entire trip! The house and pool take your breath away, but the view, jungle and wildlife leave you speechless. Everyday we watched the monkeys, many species of birds, iguanas, and even had a special experience of seeing a sloth come down from the tree with her baby! We loved the town, but spending time at this house was truly special and gave us endless, once in a life time experiences, that excursions wouldn't necessarily provide. You will not regret booking this house! I hope one day my family will make it back to La Libelula!

Really lovely family vacation

We enjoyed the home thoroughly and would return again in the future! The highlights for us: 1. The pool - our two kids spent countless hours splashing and playing each day! It’s very well maintained and is larger than many hotel pools! 2. Bedrooms were exceptionally comfortable and clean. Although I did not use the AC, our other family members did and loved having the units in the bedrooms. 3. Licho was very responsive to our needs and we liked having him nearby. Anything we needed was minor, but he was able to address everything! 4. Our meal from Darling was exceptional! One of our favorites during our stay in Uvita. 5. The living room was a great place to gather for card games and relax. 6. Privacy - we enjoyed that we did not have neighbors, and that the main entrance was gated. There were a couple things that could stand to be updated, but nothing that would prevent us from booking again. Those minor things have been shared with the owner, Nicolas. Overall a fantastic find!!!!!

Paradise in Uvita

This property is amazing! We visited in 2021 and came back this year. The property manager, Nicolas, is amazing and was super helpful during our stay. Mitchell, the caretaker, was also wonderful. We were greeted with complimentary champagne and fruits. The house is spacious and airy. It is well designed and super clean. The grounds are beautifully landscaped and very private. The ocean view is stunning and you can hear the waves from the viewing deck. We enjoyed grilling our fresh caught Mahi at the outdoor bar area. Enough cannot be said about the pool area. It is beautiful.The pool is large and has a calming fountain and jacuzzi. The pool restroom was a bonus. Just outstanding. We encountered numerous wildlife. Green parrots, Macaws, toucans, howler monkeys, various amphibians and reptiles. Beaches are a short drive. Parque Nacional Marino Ballena is just down the road and Playa Hermosa is just a little further. The restaurants in Uvita were very good. Dominical is about a 20 minute drive and has shops and dining. This was, by far, our favorite place to stay. None of us were ready to leave. If given the chance, I highly recommend La Libelula for your tropical resort!

Wonderful Costa Rican Trip finale

After a whirlwind first half of our trip to Arenal, Monteverde and Quepos, La Libelula was the perfect place to slow down and relax! Nikolas, Licho and Darling made everything things so easy and comfortable. Nikolas met us at the local gas station and escorted us up to the property. (Was very grateful for the SUV!). The views are stunning and the pool definitely feels like you are at your own private resort. We got especially lucky on a first night with a troop of howler monkeys visiting in the trees right above the pool. A mama with a baby on her back was a thrill for the kids!! We were a little worried at first about the lack of A/C on the main floor - but we were completely comfortable with the screen doors and the bedroom A/C units worked really well. And although there was lots of wildlife to enjoy outside, we never saw a single bug inside the house which is really a feat for Costa Rica! The shower water pressure was a little lacking but everything else was fantastic! Darling’s cooking was delicious and a real treat. And Licho kept the pool and property in tip too shape. Our Spanish skills are virtually nonexistent, but it was very easy to communicate via WhatsApp. We had pretty intense thunderstorms for a couple nights but felt totally secure in house. The house (and most of Uvita) lost power for 12 hours but there were security lights and a house generator which Licho ran for us periodically to keep the fridge cold, power phones, etc. we felt lucky to be so well taken care of. We would definitely recommend La Libelula and hope to return again with more friends and family!

Amazing vacation! This house, and Uvita, are well worth it!

A group of friends and I stayed here for a week. I honestly could've stayed so much longer and would still have had things to do and see. The house and grounds are enough to keep you happy and entertained, but there are also so many things to do nearby including: snorkeling, beautiful beaches, waterfall walks, and all the things the national parks have to offer. (Uvita is a nature lover's dream, you'll probably have to drive to Quepos or elsewhere for nightlife. ) Licho was friendly and responsive at all times, but we never felt infringed upon. Darling and Licho came through to clean up and change our towels every other day, but Licho was generally nearby working on the large property and responsive to WhatsApp (which is how most businesses communicate there too). We flew in to San Jose and found it best to book the private shuttle from the airport to the house and back again. It's a pretty long ride and the driver Nicolas connected us to was professional and friendly and just honestly made the whole thing much more relaxing. We got a car in Uvita after that. We arranged for Darling to make dinner for us for the first night after a long day of travel and it was a great choice. Dinner was fantastic and just what we all needed. During our stay we saw: so many lizards, spotted and heard monkeys, saw hummingbirds and toucans, watched leaf cutter ants and frogs, and that was just on the beautiful property alone! It is well maintained, sitting beautifully in nature, and the plant life is spectacular! The AC works great in bedrooms, and having access to laundry was nice for towels and suits, etc. We had a group, and yet still everyone found privacy because there are so many different areas around the house and property to hang out. The pool was fantastic! Overall, we loved every bit of our stay.... we would gladly go back! Thank you Nicolas, Licho, Darling, and beautiful Costa Rica, for sharing this with us.

Amazing property!

We had a wonderful time here. The home was spotless and well maintained. Nicolas was very responsive and Licho, the caretaker, was lovely and super responsive as well. We could not have picked a better home for our mom's birthday celebration. We will be back!

A Slice of Heaven on Earth

I am well traveled and have a long history with VRBO. The moment I laid eyes on La Libelula I knew it was the villa for us. Two cancellations, due to Covid, delayed our trip. Finally, on December 4th we arrived. We were greeted by Nicholas and Licho who showed us around the most beautiful villa I have ever seen. Then you step outside and the tropical landscape and view of the Pacific take your breath away. The pool was our second home. Each of us found our private, favorite spot to hang-out. Darlene prepared and served "typical" meals that were far from typical for us. Savory and delicious. Licho was a life saver. Always helpful. Always smiling. Nicholas was responsive and generous. I could write a book about this paradise. I won't. But I (we) will return and stay at least 3 weeks. I recommend this villa to everyone who has taken the time to read this review. You will see (and hear) monkeys, parrots and macaws everyday. We were visited by a comical Jesus Christ Lizard that had all of us laughing as he ran off. Grasshoppers are big. Leaf cutter ants are interesting and hard working. I never needed bug spray and never saw a single bug in the house. Just in case any of you are concerned about that. The town is close. Shopping for supplies is easy. Restaurants are plentiful and good. People are friendly. Happy travels to all.......

Awesome property, excellent service

This house was just as wonderful as the photos indicate. The caretaker was always there to answer questions and help, his wife made us a fabulous meal. There were excellent excursions and restaurants close by. I highly recommend this property to anyone wanting a fabulous Costa Rica vacation!

Beautiful home with amazing views. The caretaker and his wife were so sweet. Communication was great with the property manager/owner. Very private location. The home was stunning and so clean.
