We recommend to rent a car. It is a 200 km/124 miles/ 3-4 hours drive from the international airport in San José to Uvita. We also recommend to do the drive during daytime. The best route is starting from the airport taking the new highway 27 direction Caldera and then highway 34 via Jaco, Quepos, Dominical to Uvita. Alternatively you also can take a domestic flight to Quepos and take a rental car from there. From Quepos it is only a 45min drive to Uvita. 2) What kind of rental car do you recommend? We highly recommend a rental car to explore the area! We also recommend a SUV, it would not be absolutely necessary but more comfortable. A small one would be sufficient. 3) How close is the Orange House from the beach? The nearest beach is Playa Hermosa, 3 km/1.5 miles away from the Orange House. The famous whalestail beach is approx. 5 km/3 miles away. All together we are close to 7 different beaches here in the Uvita area. You will need a car to go there. 4) How fast is the wireless Internet? I'm happy to offer symmetrical fast fiber optic internet from Kölbi, which is 100 Mbps download and upload. Guest access The Orange House is very private and only for you. Additionally you have access to the pool area. The pool area is close to the main house. Also feel free to explore the property, there is a huge garden area, a bamboo forest and loads of different fruit trees. Feel free to harvest your own fruits!
