What we handle

Everything your property needs, handled by people who live here.

You own the home. We run the operation — so you get the income and the reviews without the 2 a.m. WhatsApp messages.

01

Listing & dynamic pricing

Your home live on Airbnb, Vrbo, and Booking.com, repriced nightly against real Costa Ballena demand — so you're never the cheapest on the bay or the emptiest in green season.

02

Guest experience

Vetted guests, fast replies in English and Spanish, smooth self check-in, and a local team on call when the power blinks during a downpour.

03

Housekeeping & turnovers

Hotel-grade cleans between every stay — fresh linens, restocked essentials, and a photo checklist so the home is guest-ready, not just "done."

04

Maintenance & repairs

Pools, gardens, AC, and the small jungle surprises — caught early on routine inspections and fixed by trades we've used for years.

05

Owner reporting

One clear statement each month: nights booked, gross revenue, every expense itemized, and your payout. No mystery line items, ever.

06

Local concierge

Whale-watching tours, SJO and Quepos airport pickups, private chefs — the extras that earn five stars and bring guests back next season.

Our homes

Two homes, one standard of care.

Every home in the Marea Stays portfolio gets the same treatment: dynamic pricing, hotel-grade turnovers, and a local host who answers fast. Click through for the full story on each.

Why the Costa Ballena

The bay that books itself — twice a year.

Uvita sits at the heart of Marino Ballena National Park, where the sandbar draws a perfect whale's tail at low tide. It's not just a postcard: humpbacks migrate through on one of the longest journeys on Earth.

That gives the Costa Ballena two distinct high seasons — North American whales from December through April, Southern Hemisphere whales from July through October. Add waterfalls, surf at Dominical, and the food scene in Ojochal, and demand rarely sleeps. Our job is to make sure your home is the one that's full.

For owners

From handshake to first payout, in four steps.

A real sequence, not a sales funnel. Here's exactly what happens when you hand us the keys.

01

Walkthrough

We visit your property, assess its revenue potential against comparable homes on the bay, and give you an honest projection — even if the honest answer is "not yet."

02

Onboard & list

Professional photography, listings live across every major platform, pricing dialed in, and the home stocked and inspected before the first guest arrives.

03

We manage

Guests, cleans, maintenance, supplies, reviews, the lot. You keep full visibility through your owner dashboard; we keep the operation running.

04

You earn

An itemized statement each month and your payout on the 5th — plus a real person, not a ticket queue, whenever you want to talk.

Marea Estate Care

Not renting your home? We protect it anyway.

Private property care for owners who are away for weeks or months — scheduled inspections, photo reports within 24 hours, and one trusted local contact from Dominical to Ojochal. No guests required.

Meet your host

Hi, I'm Luis — your host on the ground in Uvita.

I live right here on the Costa Ballena, and I've spent 8+ years managing vacation rentals across Uvita, Dominical, and Ojochal. Casa Blanca is the home I know best — and the one I'd most want you to experience.

That means a real local who answers fast, knows which beach is calm on a given swell, and can line up the extras below to round out your stay — no ticket queue, just a message to me.
