Amazing property with great views of Whales Tail!
Beautiful property! The view from the deck is unbelievable. Everything is very well maintained and modern. The drive up the mountain is an adventure but not scary at all as long as you have four wheel drive! Location is central to Uvita once you get off the mountain and convenient to dining and shopping and the beach!

Hosting David and Jen and their kids for the holiday was a pleasure. They were familiar with Uvita and the surrounding mountain areas so that was very helpful when assuring they were prepped for their arrival. Our exchanges before their stay were super easy and I was happy to help with suggestions for dining and outings. I'm thrilled they enjoyed their stay. We would love to host them again!

Perfect Launch Pad for Uvita
Just spent a week here and had the best time. It was a fabulous location for our whole family (2 adults and 4 kids). Our kids loved the bunk beds. We loved the views and the sounds of the howler monkeys in the morning. We also loved the private waterfall/swimming hole. The whole house was very well maintained. The pool was perfect for our kids. One of 'highs' of the whole trip was watching the monkeys outside our windows in the morning. It truly was the Costa Rica experience we were looking for.

Wow! You and your family really got lucky during your week with the monkey sightings! We consider them to be our daily alarm clock while not always getting to see them from the house. On our last trip we were fortunate to have them overhead while at the swimming hole and were able to follow them up the path on our way back to the house, they had three babies with them so it was extra special! I'm so happy to hear that the house worked out for your family! We love it ourselves and made design touches like the boys' room with the bunk wall thinking of ours as well as other families that might get to enjoy it. Thanks again for choosing our home for your visit to lovely Costa Rica!

Amazing remote jungle oasis
We absolutely loved our stay here. If you're looking for a peaceful home-base that's not far from Uvita, but still adds to the adventure and your likelihood of seeing incredible wildlife, this is your place! We spotted an incredible diversity of birds each morning from the property (including Toucans almost daily, lots of tanagers and hummingbirds as well), heard howler monkeys in the distance, and enjoyed ourselves even when we were rained out of other plans. Do not underestimate the need for a good functioning 4x4 vehicle, and expect to be home before dark each night.

Incredible property!
We had such an incredible time at Morpho Eco Retreat. The property is jaw dropping every which way you look. We loved the pool and the waterfall down the trail. The house is really lovely with everything you need. Saw many toucans and other birds, monkeys, and even saw a Blue morpho on our first day! The steep drive up to the house is wild (definitely need a 4x4) but it’s. really fun. So many things to do nearby, Uvita waterfall is a fantastic spot that our boys wanted to go back to again and again. Loved this place!

Thank you for your lovely words, Monica! I fell in love with the property from the first moment I visited. If you can imagine, the drive was unpaved, the main building site where the main house sits now was prepped but other than that the land was bare. The waterfall, view and location at the end of the road were what sealed the deal in my mind. We've continued to enjoy our visits for the the last 9 years after the build was complete. It always provides a much needed respite for us coming from Los Angeles. We leave energized by the nature and the people that Costa Rica has to offer. Safe travels and you're welcome any time.

Exactly what we were looking for!
Our family loved being guests @ Casa Morpho. It had a great modern layout and the perfect pool, view etc... A short stroll to your very own waterfall too!
Dawn was awesome and helped us with anything we needed and even helped book our family excursions.
We would recommend staying there but having a 4x4 as pointed out in the description is important... it's just the way Costa Rica is. We got use to the mountain driving! Pura Vida. We'll be back.

Amazing Escape!
Four of my colleagues and I enjoyed a "Girls' Getaway" to Costa Rica this past month. We stayed in Dawn's beautiful house and couldn't have been more pleased. The views that greeted us every morning and afternoon when we returned to the house were extraordinary. There was plenty of room for all and we enjoyed relaxing in the afternoons and evenings, making our dinner in the spacious and well-equipped kitchen. Another wonderful feature of the property was the new plunge pool. After a day of exploring the surrounding area, there was nothing better than coming back to the house and taking a nice, cool dip in the pool. We had such an amazing trip and our home base, the Morpho Eco Retreat, was one of the reasons. I highly recommend it!

We hope you consider Costa Rica and the Morpho for other future trips to Costa Rica!

A wonderful escape
We were lucky to find this house. We are a family with children. It is a true getaway in the jungle with everything you need to relax and spectacular views to boot. If you want to relax in the jungle and enjoy the serenity or if you want to venture out to the beaches and waterfalls of the southern zone this is the perfect place. The "private" waterfall and swimming hole are a special treat. Loved it and we will probably visit again. The owner, the property managers and the caretaker were all very friendly and helpful. The property is a bit up in the mountain from downtown Uvita so make sure you are ready for the slope of the driveway. The first time up it is a challenge, but once you understand the need to maintain momentum at the critical points it gets much easier.

Adult family vacation
We stayed at this lovely property for six nights. Our family of five (all adults) were very comfortable and each had enough space to stretch out and fully enjoy the peace and quiet this property offers.
We loved starting each day viewing hummingbirds from the yoga platform and toucans from the deck. We enjoyed cooling off in the pool and star gazing each evening.
The drive up to the property was a daily adventure, one my husband thoroughly enjoyed! The property is close enough to all amenities and yet secluded, and very privately set into the mountainside. The caretakers are on the property and available,if needed, but we never saw them unless we reached out to them. The owner was very accessible by both email (prior to arrival) and WhatsApp during the stay.
I highly recommend this property for anyone looking for a quiet and relaxing vacation.
Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us.

Stunning view
We loved our stay here. The view was incredible! Our kids enjoyed the bunk beds, pool, and plethora of birds and butterflies to watch. Shower water was hot and the air was kept cool by natural drafts and fans. My only critique is that the sign for the property driveway could be more visible. It’s difficult to see coming up the hill because it’s around a corner behind some shrubbery. Also we could have used some written driving instructions. It was very helpful to have Jairo lead us there the first time but with two kids in the car asking one million questions the directions slipped out of our brain and then we got lost later. For anyone staying there, follow the signs to golden pineapple resort then look for the blue morpho sign indicating their property. All is good though! Jaíro and Dawn were very helpful and good communicators. Highly recommend.

Best View
My husband and I spent a long weekend in Morpho Eco with our 4 children, 3 teen boys and a younger daughter. They loved the bunk wall. Each of them felt they had their own room because each nook has it's own window and shelf. The main bedroom includes closet space behind the headboard which made it possible to keep the clean, uncluttered feel of the home. For us, the highlight of the property was the private waterfall. We climbed and swam in the waterfall for hours each day. The view from this house is beyond compare. We have visited many houses in this area and no view surpasses this one. Compatible with the gorgeous natural surroundings, the house is well-designed and decorated with minimalist, nature-inspired furnishings and accessories. The breezes are continual. We rarely even needed the fans. We hope to include Morpho Eco in our future travel plans.

Thanks so much for you kind review, Alison! One of the things that I appreciate the most is the accuracy of your description, regarding some of the things we hold dear to our hearts. Costa Rica is a true gem of nature and whenever we are there we want unplug and enjoy as much as possible this aspect. When the house was designed it was with the thought of bringing the outside into the home, with the amazing view, the great, expansive deck where we spend alot of time, the natural breeezes of the location, as well as our choices in decorating materials. The river was the big bonus that convinced us about the property and now with the pool, there isn't alot more one could need. I'm so happy your family enjoyed the house!

Must book house for nature lovers
We had such a lovely experience while staying here. I went back and forth between this house or a hotel and I'm so happy we choose this house. It made me feel like we got a real Costa Rican experience.Dont let the reviews of the drive-up scare you.It was a little scary the first time but we were totally fine after that initial drive, even in the dark. We saw a lot of cool animals and reptiles every drive up/down. We did experience both a power outage in the evening and a lack of water one morning, but there was excellent communication between the owner and Jairo. Speaking of which, knowing Jairo was near by if needed was a huge relief for our family since we were traveling with four young kids. We brought a package of 5 headlamps from amazon and that was plenty of light to light up the house at night the evening the mountain lost electricity.The property is gorgeous. Like....beyond gorgeous. It felt like heaven sitting on the balcony enjoying the plants, wildlife, and ocean views. There is a lot to explore on the grounds. We went to the stream/swimming hole several times. My boys just loved it. And the pool is so refreshing after a hot day exploring. The kitchen offers everything you need to cook a meal but I'll be honest, we mostly ate out at all the amazing restaurants near by. Dawn has great recommendations. My 4-year-old twins cried the first night back home because they wanted "to be back at the butterfly house." We will definitely be back next time we visit.

Great view and wonderful house
Ok first off you will absolutely need a powerful 4WD to reach this house. The drive up is steep in particular the last portion of it. You will have trouble getting up, as I learned first hand, with a car like a RAV4. It almost led to divorce proceedings so do yourself a favor and get a 4WD with a low gear such as a Mitsubishi Outlander (I switched my rental 2nd day).
The house has beautiful views of the surrounding area. You can see the Whales Tail easily from the balcony. Every day we saw toucans in the trees near the house, beautiful butterflies and heard the howls from the howler monkeys. My daughter even witnessed a Jesus Christ Lizard (basilisk lizard) run across the pool at the house. The beds are comfortable and it's easy to get a good cross breeze in the house by opening the sliding doors. There is absolutely no need for heat or air conditioning. It cools down considerably at night being so high up the mountain.
From our house we easily visited the surrounding area. We took a sunset horse ride at Rancho La Merced, spent most of a day visiting Nauyaca Waterfall, took a day trip to Corcovado National Park from Sierpe and did a night walk with Doc Frog along a creek in San Josecito. We also went down to the Whale Tail in Marino Ballena National park twice. Lots of fun!
It gets dark by 5:30 being so close to the equator and most evenings we were all asleep early. One thing to note is there aren't any blinds on the windows throughout the house. With the sound of the jungle coming alive with sun rise at 5:30-6 AM and the sun coming in your room, unless you bring an eye mask you'll be up early every morning. Not a bad thing as you get an early start to the day, but something to keep in mind if you like to sleep in. Come prepared with an eye mask if you like to sleep!
Overall a great experience and wonderful place to stay.

Wow! Thank you so much for your detailed review, Craig! I'm happy to hear that with the car exchange on day two you managed to avoid divorce! All joking aside, I generally rent a Mitsubishi Montero Sport or similar myself for the cars' height and stronger engine in 4-wheel drive for the steep parts. If you can imagine I cut my teeth in off roading when we were building the house, without the cement tracks during rainy season, it was something! I'm working with my managers to come up with a better description of the drive and car suggestions as to better prepare future guests while not scaring them too much.. I love that you got to see all of the animals you described, especially the Basilisk Lizard, we've seen them but never on the pool. You got to do some our favorite activities, next time you'll have to try zip-lining and maybe a kayak trip. I will try to fit in your suggestion of an eye-mask for late risers, I'm an early bird myself and the early sunrise helps our family make the most of every minute when we're staying at the house. I'm so happy that you and your family enjoyed your trip to Costa Rica, it has been and continues to be a special place for our family!

Great private stay in the jungle!
We loved our time at this property. The house is very modern, has all the amenities, and is very private. The view in the evening is great! The kids loved cooling off in the pool. Dawn is excellent in communication and facilitating any needs you have. I would highly recommend this property to anyone interested in staying in this general area. We used it a great launching point for visiting Corcovado Parl. The beath at Uvita was one of our favorites in the whole country.

Dream stay!
Exceptional stay! We lived a dream, the photos do not capture the beauty of the place. Everything is in place for an incredible stay. Special mention to the view, the shower of the casita and the calm of the place. We did not lack electricity and water. The owners are available to answer questions. The cancellation conditions are also adequate considering the current situation.
As already mentioned, you shouldn't be afraid to drive in steep places, maybe they don't emphasize enough in the description.

Thank you for your lovely review, Marie! We're so happy you and your family enjoyed their stay at the property. Many of the things you mentioned are what makes it so special to us as well. I will think a bi, and add some extra detail about the drive to get there. Thanks again!

Next Level Experience
Overall, we loved our time at the property because of the vantage, the design, amenities, the management and the ethos of it all. It's a very rare and wonderful space to be in. Dawn and Jairo couldn't have been more communicative. The pool, the decks and open space make it a wonderful respite after the adventures that the beaches and trails afford around Uvita. We had a wonderful time here with our two boys over four days and nights. The kitchen leaves nothing to be desired. We cooked some fantastic meals and played many games in and around the kitchen and deck dining area.
It's worth noting two things as you consider this property. The road leading up is seriously steep. We live in Colorado and are originally from Montana and Alaska and have driven up many a steep mountain road. This drive up absolutely requires a 4x4 vehicle with low gears. Don't overestimate it and don't be intimidated if you have the right vehicle.
Good, bad or indifferent there's not much opportunity to sleep in at EMR. There are no shades on the windows and all natural light and sounds pour through the house. It makes it impossible to sleep in, but is also why late morning through evening can be breathtaking here.
This is a house like no other. Thank you, Dawn!!

So awesome!!!
The house was so beautiful and we loved waking up to the sound of the jungle! Dawn was so easy to work with! She sent an awesome welcome email that was packed full of great information! We have been to Costa Rica before and knew what to expect, but if you haven’t- make sure to read through everything carefully! The on-site property manager, Jairo and his wife, were so lovely and very helpful as well! Overall we had an amazing experience!

Thank you so much for your lovely words, Chris! We began traveling to Costa Rica as a family back in 2007. We visited a couple more times and fell in love with the country and all it has to offer. When we happened upon the property, so many things about it convinced us it was the one and after careful consideration, we designed the homes and completed their build. Each year, we've added improvements... various improvements to the private drive, the plunge pool after three years, followed by the "rancho" poolside the year after, and finally the yoga/view deck above the main house in March 2021 when the country re-opened during the pandemic. It truly is a small paradise and we're humble to share it with others.

An absolutely perfect stay
We could not have enjoyed our stay any more than we did. The house and the casita (when we needed the extra space) worked out beautifully. The view is magnificent and the setting is charming. The pool was just right. The privacy is great. The drive up is a bit challenging, but just added to the fun.

Thank you for your thoughtful review! We're thrilled that you appreciated some of the very things that make the property special to our family! Yes, the first times can be a little challenging with the drive, after 12 years, we've grown accustomed ourselves, reminds us a bit of scenes from Jurassic park. Thank you again for choosing our property and keep us in mind if you ever decide to return to the area.

Spectacular
This was truly a tremendous place for family group and having Ellen cook the most wonderful meals allowed for a good family time in the evening. I cannot think of anything that would make this more perfect of a spot for family in Costa Rica.

Beautiful View
This property is fantastic! Our biggest concern post booking was no air conditioning (we are Canadians and used to snow/ice) but believe it or not the location, the way the home was designed and fans were more than enough. I was actually a bit chilly some nights.
The decor is gorgeous and it’s very nicely decorated. The driveway is intensely steep so make sure to get a 4x4. Pool was great. Beds were comfortable.
I’d recommend.

Über den Gastgeber
Zu Gast bei Dawn Enders
The Owners Story: Our family journey to the Pacific coast of Costa Rica began in 2007 on vacation. After purchasing the property in 2010, the design process started. With a few more trips extended over two years, construction of our dream getaway was complete. We are excited to share the Morpho Eco Retreat with other nature enthusiasts. For our family that includes two sons, ages 15 and 20, our home and casita have been a perfect place to unplug from todays' busy lifestyle in Los Angeles. Each trip we experience the bountiful nature that Costa Rica has to offer. We welcome all future guests to the Morpho Eco Retreat and we wish you a wonderful time in discovering the beauty of this country and it's people! Pura Vida
Darum fiel die Entscheidung auf diese Unterkunft
The estate's proximity to the laid back, friendly town of Uvita, with its' central location near many restaurants and activities all while offering privacy and tranquility.
Das macht diese Unterkunft einzigartig
An amazing view of the ocean and Whale's Tail National Park. The tranquility one feels once they arrive, being surrounded by the sounds of nature on your doorstep from the moment you wake up through the end of a long, fun filled day. On-site access ( 3 minute walk with the jungle hanging overhead ) to a year round river with waterfall and swimming hole surrounded by the jungle. A gorgeous Infinty Pool and covered Rancho for dining. Stunning views of the jungle valley and and mountains. Many opportunities to view animals of the region in their natural habitat. These may include many species of birds, strange and amazing insects, howler monkeys, and wild peccaries to name a few.
