About this property

Ocean Melody 2 - Fully Equipped, Walking Distance from Beaches, Garden and Pool!

For travellers who are looking for something more than budget, Ocean Melody 2 is the place!

Ocean Melody 2 adds the experience of the older sister Ocean Melody to a bigger property, with wider views and larger living spaces.

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 sofa-bed.
The bathroom is bright and supplied with hot water system. There is a high-security safe for valuables.
The spacious external porch offers two rocking chairs to enjoy the sound of the Ocean, while navigating on a comfortable 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 the house is equipped with a BBQ area, a round stone table and chairs, and outdoor shower. The parking place is private, gated and lighted at night.
The private pool and deck 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 pool sun umbrella!

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 2!

No need of inaccessible luxurious villas anymore…With Ocean Melody 2 you can make your visit to paradise possible, optimize your money and enjoy unforgettable excursions, without renouncing to the comforts your vacation deserves!

All you’d ever need for a couples stay.

Great location, great pool, great grounds and complete privacy for a great price. All you need for a couple at an affordable price with an added bonus of Maca’s in the trees above the property. 1km walk to the national park entrance, a.k.a The Whales Tail. Loved our 4 night stay and Massi, the host, was fantastic to deal with. He provided very thorough instructions for the rental. Do not hesitate to stay here!

Nice quiet getaway!

The property was very nice and secluded. The pool was wonderful and we really enjoyed laying in the hammock in the cool evening. The ac in the bed room was a great after a long day out in the sun. Plenty of wildlife around but still not invasive. Close enough to walk to several places but in a quiet little area minus the construction next door. Definitely would recommend this little gem!

Beautiful property in Quiet Neighborhood

The place was a bit difficult to find at first, but if you read Massi's instructions (which are long) you will be able to find it. The property was gorgeous and the home was small but had everything you need. We enjoyed spending time on the patio and new elevated reading/yoga area. The home is about a 10 minute walk from the entrance to the National Park, but then it takes another ~20 minutes to get to the Whale's tail. Overall, the place was perfect for a quiet, relaxing getaway.

Would rent it again

Right at the edge of the jungle, we saw endless animals . from monkey to macaws ant toucans, even crabs. We ditched the car after two days as planned and walked everywhere after that. Beach is close, as are plenty of restaurants, laundry, even a barber at the end of the street. It's small but perfect for those who spend their days exploring and return to a wonderful pool before dinner.

We loved everything about is this property , perfect for 2 adults. Close to many of beaches including 1 within walking distance, restaurants, and grocery store. Communication from beginning and in between was always clear and timely. Getting up early was a must for us to enjoy all of natures activity and beautiful sounds. The pool was used multiple times daily, clean ,warm water. Highly recommend this spot!

3 incredible weeks at my dream home

The home: Cozy and beautiful. The AC works wonderfully, and when we (rarely) came in from the sun, we loved relaxing in a cool bedroom. The internet is fast and reliable-- we worked 2/3 weeks and never had any issues. (There were a few power outages... But they lasted less < 2 minutes.)

INCROYABLE

Le logement de Massi est tout à fait magnifique ! Nous avons pu profiter du soleil au bord de la piscine , des hamacs et des transats ! Lors de notre séjour, nous avons pu observer dans le jardin des toucans, des singes, des Arras et pleins d’autres animaux ! Massi est vraiment un très bon hôte, réponds directement aux questions! De plus, aucun vis à vis dans le logement. Le logement contient de plus un parking privé et un système d’alarme. Le logement se trouve dans un endroit calme, avec pas trop loin un supermarché, des restaurants et pour les Français une boulangerie ! Séjour au top, je recommande fortement!

This was a great property. It had a swimming pool and an observation deck. The property is pretty secluded since there are walls of plants that block the view from the road. I would definitely recommend this property to others!!!

Ocean Melody 2

Amazing little place. For those that want privacy, but still be walking distance to everything in the area, this is the place for you! You can hear the sounds of the ocean when the birds and other wildlife aren't whooping it up. Regular flyovers by scarlet macaws, visits by toucans, and other birds. Capuchin monkeys visited 2 of our 3 days. Landscaping on the property is simply gorgeous! The owners were very prompt to respond to any questions we had, including "What's making the burrows in the yard?" ...Frogs! Highly recommend for a single or a couple that wants to get away for a long weekend.

Fantastic Oasis

Our time at Ocean Melody 2 was amazing. I could not have enjoyed our 2 weeks more and was sad to leave. The national park as the backyard is phenomenal. We had monkeys, maccaws, toucans, iguanas and all types of birds. The new lookout was my favorite place in the morning. Laundry service is just down the street and very easy/fast. We will definitely be back. Massi is very responsive when you have questions. A couple things to note: (none reasons not to give 5 stars): - Bring extra towels 2 house, 2 pool are provided, it with showers, pool and beaches you will want more. They normally dry out before morning of left our early enough. - We worked part-time while we were there and had great service in the day. The weather can make the internet drop in the area, not for long maybe 2 minutes max, but if you need to work at night important to note. - There also was construction of a new house across the street, not something Massi could control but it did take away and was loud at times. This is temporary just wished it hadn’t aligned with our vacation.

Casa mélodie 2 , super séjour !

Nous avons adoré notre séjour. Une petite maison très intime dans la nature magnifique , proche de la mer et dans un beau cartier sécuritaire .Nous avons vue des singes , des iguanes , toucan et plusieurs sorte d’oiseaux. Le seul bémol était que le lit n’est pas très confortable, très dur et les oreillers laisse à désirer . Pour le reste parfait .

Paradise

Our family of 4 stayed here for just two nights and wish we’d stayed longer. The beaches are so secluded and gorgeous and Massi was an amazing host. Excellent communication prior to arrival that answered everything about the house and the area and available to answer questions when we arrived. Beautiful spot, it felt so fancy for our family, very private and beautiful pool. We truly loved it here and would recommend it to anyone. Yummy food a walk down the street called Falafel Uvita too!

Very nice and cute cottage

We stayed there for 8 days, and the cottage is wonderful. It is big enough for two adults and has a nice garden and a pool. It is not that far from the beach and good restaurants, supermarket and other shops are also very close. We enjoyed every day of our stay. The only annoying thing was that the bed creaked a lot. Massi is always available and if there is aproblem, he reacts in a very fast way But the accommodation is absolutely recommendable. Perhaps we will come back at any time.

Amazing in every way

We booked to stay at Ocean Melody last year but because of Covid and not being able to travel out of the USA we had to postpone. Massi had no problems with letting us reschedule and was very responsive throughout all of it. This was our first time in Costa Rica and we are so happy we decided to stay at this home and town. EVERYTHING was so amazing! The home is a private oasis with so many bonuses. We saw so many different kinds of birds, lizards, and monkeys. Our last day there we had a monkey in our backyard. There is lots of wildlife you just have to keep your eye open for it :). The pool was perfect cool us off during the day and felt like bath water at night! There is a lady that does laundry right down the road, her and her son are very nice people. Everyone was really nice that we met. The food was so fresh and delicious every place we tried. And there really is so much in walking distance. We booked a 5hr ATV ride in the Jungle as well and did horseback riding on the beach for sunset. Sonia sent us that extra tour bookings. We will definitely return. Thank you Massi for everything. It was exactly what we needed!! Oh yeah he also added a watch tower for another view of the mountains. Words and pictures don't do it justice this is a must see for yourself❤

Private and Peaceful

We loved our stay at Ocean Melody 2. The house is walking distance from Whale Tail beach and multiple restaurants and grocery stores/shops. The new observation deck was the perfect spot for morning coffee and yoga. Massi was very responsive and flexible as our plans changed. It was the perfect spot for our honeymoon and the only thing I would change would have been more comfortable pillows. We loved our stay and highly recommend this spot if you want to be in a private and quiet area, close to the beach.

Great cottage in a great location

First to know is the location is great. Just a few minutes drive from Uvita but far enough that you don’t hear road noise. Tucked back adjacent to a big nature area. Easy access even without a 4x4. Cabin itself is well built. Great cross ventilation with fully screened sliding glass doors and windows and fans plus a/c in the bedroom. Furnished with everything you need from dishes, pots/pans, utensils, even has a toaster and iron. But the real bonus is the nature show in the back yard. We loved sitting on the porch in the big rocking chairs watching the family of monkeys playing in the trees. We will definitely return.

A wonderful place to spend a month

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!

About the host

Hosted by Massi

Host profile image
My name is Massi, I am a property manager of the Costa Ballena area. I love my wife, my animals, the beach, the surf and the luxury of the tropical nature. .

Why they chose this property

Ocean Melody 2 is the continued experience of Ocean Melody. The great success of the first cottage motivated me and my business partner Adriano to go for a second, improved cottage. Bigger property, wider views, more comfortable living spaces. But still at the same price of the first one!

What makes this property unique

Fantastic price, privacy, excellent location close to town groceries and restaurants but just behind the tropical Coastal jungle (200 meters from the Ocean). You can watch a monkey close to the pool and then be at the grocery for your bread in a couple of minutes :-)
