Casita Kristina Maria is a cool comfortable 200 meters up from the dazzling Pacific Coastline and just above the town of Uvita with Panoramic Ocean views. The home is located in the perfect spot where the constant gentle ocean breeze keeps it cool while nestled in the Rain forest jungle of a private gated community.

It is a 525 sq. ft. studio cabin with viewing deck nestled on a 4 acre private parcel surrounded by lush green jungle overlooking Marino Ballena Beach National Park. The home is in a community located within a protected wildlife reserve of 100+ acres of Rainforest so it will always be in a native animal corridor.

Casita Kristina Maria is furnished with beautiful new Queen size bed, 2 cedar night stands, a kitchen table and chairs, and a beautiful cedar wardrobe armoire, plus a new cedar loveseat for your comfort to relax in the sitting area. On the outdoor viewing deck, there are 2 Adirondak chairs.

The bathroom features a tiled shower, framed mirror, a marble vanity, a ceiling fan, and a small window backing up to the rain forest.

Other features include ceiling fans, a floor fan, high speed fiber optic WiFi, Bedding, linens, towels, and and a covered deck wraps around two sides of the Casita, an outdoor BBQ in the backyard. Also an ice chest for the beach, beach towels, and folding beach chairs are provided.

Enjoy the sights and sounds of Nature everyday, including howler monkeys, white-faced capuchin monkeys, slouth, coatimundi, toucans, colorful macaws, beautiful butterflies including the spectacular blue morph butterflies, fireflies, iguana, and many other jungle animals and a variety of other exotic birds.

Hike to nearby waterfalls, streams and cascades in our own gated reserve.
Relax as you sit on the outdoor cool covered deck, sipping on a cold drink while enjoying phenomenal views of the ocean, islands, and Rain forest in a lush and private setting. The Sunsets are frequently amazing!!! Minutes to beautiful tropical beaches where the jungle meets the shore, and the ocean temperatures are a perfect 75-80 degrees year around!

An Amazing place to stay & nHoliday!!
Beautifully 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

One with Nature
Cozy 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.

Uvita Casita
The 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.

Stunning Views & Jungle Oasis
Claire 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...
The 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!

About the host

Hosted by Claire & Carol

Host profile image
Living in southern California, our family has always enjoyed outdoor activities at the Beach, swimming, surfing, snorkeling, Nature, and hiking. Our interests then were a perfect fit to purchase a home at the beach in Costa Rica on the Osa Peninsula. Our favorite beaches near us in the Osa Peninsula are Playa Ballena, Playa Ventanas, and Playa Hermosa. Also our favorite restaurants are conveniently located at our Beach Club and in the town of Uvita.

Why they chose this property

Enjoy the Best of Nature and privacy located at our property. Everyday we experience the sights and sounds of life in the beautiful Rain forest with daily visits from a variety of Birds and Animals. Also there are delightful sounds from the fresh running water in the nearby waterfall and creek.

What makes this property unique

Casita Kristina Maria is located in the Uvita area in a private, gated eco-community, and protected wildlife reserve. It is an ideal setting for viewing the flora and fauna of more than 100 acres of primary Rain forest, streams, waterfalls, and hiking trails.

The Casita is surrounded by the Rain forest jungle. Relax to the sound of the creek babbling through rain forest. You'll be lulled to sleep by croaking frogs and the sounds of the jungle at night. Awaken to the distinct roar of howler monkeys as they traverse through the jungle nearby, and the squawking of toucans and green parrots flying overhead . When the surf is big, you can sometimes hear the waves crashing on the beach.

Included in the rental is access to our Beach Club. The Beach Club has a beach side restaurant, bar, swimming pool, restroom facilities, shower, free beach parking, and a palm-lined trail to the beach. It is a beautiful tropical beach with views of Tres Hermanas rocks and Isla de Cano. The ocean water temperature is a warm 80-88 degrees year-round. Monkeys and scarlet macaws are often sighted in the trees surrounding the beach.
