One with Nature
Publié le 21 mars 2023 sur HomeAwayCozy little get away with amazing views of the ocean. Beautiful sunsets from the deck. Abundance of wildlife. If you are looking for something close to town or walkable, this is not the choice for you. If you are looking for gorgeous views, and the ability to leave the hustle and bustle behind then this is your spot. The internet did go out several times per day, so if you are relying on it for remote work or school, this might not be the choice for you. We are both fit, active people and the access from the parking area to the casita is incredibly steep. I can't imagine someone with any type of mobility issue safely navigating this obstacle. (even with a hand rail) Overall, this was a lovely intimate place that we called our home away from home for our stay.

Thank you for your nice review. I am very glad you enjoyed the views and wild life while living at our casita. The problem is actually not the internet, it is the electric service.
The intermitant electricity was an area wide problem when you were visiting. If the electricity goes out then the internet will not work temporarily. As soon as the electricity comes back on then the internet comes back also. Now we have installed new solar for more dependable electric service.
At the time you stayed in our home, the Envision Festival was in full swing. Since there were about 10,000 extra people in the area using the electricity and internet, the area infrastructure was overloaded. The electric company was simply not prepared for the extra demand on the electricity usage. It was unusual to have so many area-wide electric problems.
Also the entire town and surrounding areas were experiencing the intermitant internet service as well. This is highly unusual.
We are very happy you came to stay in our home. I hope you can come again when the infrastructure is better able to handle an increase of the population in our area.

Uvita Casita
Publié le 24 févr. 2023 sur HomeAwayThe property owner was over the top helpful with things to do in the area. And the home is as described. Lovely hot water and plenty of appliances in the kitchen. And wonderfully - no ants in the house!! Our only struggle was getting to the house from the parking area or back - it is steep.

An Amazing place to stay & nHoliday!!
Publié le 20 mai 2022 sur HomeAwayBeautifully built and situated deep in a remote part of Wild life sanctuary Jungle with Incredible views of both the Jungle & Sea.
A true Wild Life Mecca! We got to see most of Costa Rica's Wild Life from our balcony or during walks or drives down the mountain road. The journey from the main road up the mountain road to the Casita is an Amazing drive too and you will see plenty of animals along the route. Claire & Bud were always available for any advise or help during our amazing stay and are both wonderful. We would like to thank you both so much for allowing us to stay in your beautiful home and experience our BEST HOLIDAY EVER!! We will certainly be back many more times and so will our family and friends. We highly recommend anyone who wishes a relaxed, remote holiday away with the option of being able to do off roading, quad bike riding, jungle canopy zip lining, diving, snorkelling, fishing and much more.
As Arnold say: I'll BE BACK!!! XXX

Stunning Views & Jungle Oasis
Publié le 2 mars 2022 sur HomeAwayClaire and Buds property just outside of Uvita is just spectacular. The sunrise and sunset views are incredible - overlooking the ocean and perched amongst the lush jungle foliage and wildlife. Listening and seeing the birds (so many Toucans!), monkeys and butterflies in the mornings and evenings were a highlight. The casita was just as described, perfect for 2 people. The kitchen is small but completely functional for any meals you would cook, the shower is excellent, and the deck and patio furniture is a highlight. There is no AC, which could be a problem for some as it does get quite hot, but there are lots of fans. It's important to know that to get to the casita, it's a 15 minute drive up a very bumpy, dirt jungle road. 4 WD is a must and you should be prepared for that drive. But it's absolutely worth it at the top for that incredible view and peaceful surroundings. Claire and Bud's hospitality was incredible - if no guests at the main house they'll even let you use the beautiful pool there! Highly recommend this property!

you get what you pay for...
Publié le 14 févr. 2022 sur HomeAwayThe road was gnarly as described. The view was great, as described. The casita itself however was disappointing. To get to the key, you have to be a contortionist or willing to crawl under the deck.. Once inside things got worse. Only 3 of the 6 fans worked, their pull chains covered by dust and grime.. When we turned on the portable fan it blew out a cloud of dust that filled the room. The "pillow top" bed is not. My wife slept on towels so her hips wouldn't ache. The kitchen utensils needed to be washed before use. The counter top is cracked and the coffee pot was disgusting. Microwave didn't work.The bathroom was acceptable if you looked past the toilet which was dirty, cracked, poorly sealed and should be replaced immediately. As warned, indeed the power went out, 24 hours, (not the fault of the owner). The water also ran out due to some problem "up stream". Weed whacking at 9:00 AM, urgh. Getting your suitcases, or even yourself from the parking to the casita is so steep I'd go so far as to say it's dangerous! I was going to say something about the BBQ but check it out yourself!! Anyone can go to "The Beach Club", membership? NOT. All in all, I would never recommend a visit. The place is grimy, dated and disappointing. . We fled 2 days early. The owners need to refurbish the casita ASAP!

I am sorry you did not enjoy your stay at our nice home. In your review you have made so many statements that are full of mistakes. You had several opportunities to let us know if there was a problem so we could have helped you by either fixing the problem or refunding your money. But you never once mentioned any problems to us or to our property manager when he came to see you. I understand from our manager that you are elderly and possibly you had a problem with walking or seeing or both. For safety in case someone needs, there is a railing and stairs from the parking lot to our Casita and the area has lights if you want to see where you are walking at night.
While you were staying at our home we had a pillow-top mattress on a beautiful new cedar bed frame so you are mistaken about the pillow-top mattress. Also we had a beautiful new cedar custom built armoir and several new chairs and tables that are nice additions and remain there.
All of the appliances in the kitchen were working perfectly fine.
I am very particular myself about everything being cleaned well by my maids so I would be quite surprised if things were left unclean just for you.
I apologize that the backyard was temporarily closed due to some new landscaping work and construction to be done after you left there. So at the time you were there, no access to the BBQ was available. The work is complete now so the backyard is open for using the BBQ.
The Beach Club has a sign clearly posted in front of the building which states no Public Access to the beach. For members of the Beach Club and our guests, however there is private beach access with permission by a member. Only the restaurant is open to the public and not the beach without the member's permission.
According to our property manager, he said that you did not leave our home early before your reservation date was complete.

Great time in Costa Rica
Publié le 8 févr. 2022 sur HomeAwayGreat little place on the hillside overlooking the Pacific ocean. The road is definitely a 4 wheel drive but thanks to the owner that was what we rented. My only regret was that we did not have more time there. Next time we will fly into the area instead of driving from San Jose. We were lost there for a total of 3 1/2 hours. Thanks Claire for letting us use this darling place.

Amazing Views
Publié le 31 juill. 2021 sur HomeAwayThis is a great location for a couple to stay in the middle of the Jungle in Costa Rica. The house is perfect for two people who like to travel and enjoy Amazing views. It was a real treat to sit on the deck and watch beautiful ocean views, and an abundance of tropical forest trees with many different animals and birds right outside the home.
The house also has a fully equipped kitchen and cooking there was easy which made our travel much more affordable. It is well maintained with screens on all of the windows, to open and let in the fresh, cool ocean breezes.
If you are going to Costa Rica, to stay on the Pacific coast, I definitely recommend this Casita! We have stayed in various homes around the world and this is our favorite. We stayed for just a few days and wished we could have stayed much longer. We will come back!

Mountain Jungle Hideaway
Publié le 10 mars 2021 sur HomeAwayOur stay at Casita Kristina Maria was nothing short of spectacular. This little hideaway overlooking the coast (near the whales tale) was everything we could have dreamed for our Costa Rican getaway. We were looking for a quiet, private place, away from crowds and the resort scene, but safe and well kept. This was more than we could have imagined. We loved waking up every morning to the open air, monkeys, birds and array of insect sounds. Having our morning coffee on the deck over looking the pacific and falling asleep to the sounds of the jungle every night. This may not be for everyone (steep winding mountain road, no TV or AC) but it is EXACTLY perfect for us! We are in love and will never go anywhere else. In fact we were actually supposed to spend the 2nd 1/2 of our trip at another rental (on the beach in paritta) ... we were so unhappy there after staying at the Casita that we arranged to come back here (and canceled the other rental). Bud & Claire are the most genuine and thoughtful hosts. We appreciated every bit of their hospitality. During our 9 days there we saw toucans, parrots, monkeys, lizards and learned more about Costa Rica than we had ever imagined. The town of Uvita is very inviting, convenient and safe. If you visit here be sure to check out the market on Wednesday’s and Saturday’s, the beach and the whales tale. We also hiked an amazing waterfall near Dominical and took a fishing charter out of quepos (yellow fin tuna, sailfish, grouper and snapper) while we were there. We are in love with this property and it’s amazing hosts ... this is our home whenever we come to Costa Rica.

Great casita with a great view.
Publié le 20 mars 2020 sur HomeAwayThe casita is just as described, offering a clean, well-appointed space with a great view! Internet service to the property had been lost so I didn't have wi-fi during my stay, but when Claire came to the casita, near the end of my stay, she arranged for me to access wifi at a nearby restaurant/beach club. This beach club also provides access to a great beach which guests at the casita can enjoy.
