Extraordinary Stay!

We had an extraordinary stay in June! The house is so much nicer than the photos. We had wonderful views from almost every room of the jungle and ocean! We loved sitting on the porch watching the monkeys swinging through the trees in the evenings, and watching the colorful sunsets at night. We saw lots of toucans and many other little animals around the house often. Claire was very thoughtful as she cared enough to spend time when we asked questions. She gave us many suggestions and lots of helpful information about the area. It requires a 4x4 to drive the dirt road from the main highway to the house. The weather was quite hot when we were there so we were very glad to have the AC. There is an excellent AC in the downstairs bedroom. It was actually working so well that it cooled the entire downstairs area. The upstairs Master has a similar AC which worked great too. There are also plenty of extra fans. Consequently we were all very comfortable there. Uvita is an excellent area to be based in, there was so much to do, and this beautiful house made our trip that much better.

Sweet View

Great house that is able to accommodate a larger group.Beautiful views and lots of wildlife. The only small bummer was AC was not effective. The house is designed not to have AC and is really well vented. AC didn't work at all in one room and in the other it had minimal effect so we just kept the house open all day as was probably intended.

This is the place to stay if you are in Uvita, Costa Rica!! whether 2 people like my son and I or 8, this house is magical. It is in a private gated community so very safe. It is surrounded by a gorgeous lush jungle full of wildlife. We saw white faced monkeys, coatimundis, lizards, tucans and other exotic birds, in addition to hearing the howler monkeys. You have an incredible view of the ocean with a private pool. Much of the main floor is large windows so you always have a view of the jungle and ocean. There is a cabana with a thatched roof with a bar area next to the house and pool. Each bedroom has a deck off of it in addition to the large covered deck going around the main floor. This house is also part of a private beach club with a small restaurant and facilities which is rare for this area. The owner was super informative and helpful. She sent detailed directions, restaurant recommendations and links to activities. she also helped me with advice when I was having tire problems with my rental car. My son said this trip was his favorite spring break and much of it had to do with staying at this house. I hope to come back.

Adventure Seekers

This house is definitely nestled in the middle of paradise with a million view. Very interesting architecture and love the pool. Loved the animals that did finally come in appear to us. Sloth every night in back tree. Kids(18+) loved being able to just walk out the door and explore. The bonus of having a private farm owner hike us to the waterfall and the private beach club is a big plus all provided by homeowner Claire who’s super attentive. However a few things you need to know that isn’t really explained unless you read the details. There is AC only in one room out of four. This house was built to ventilate meaning every room has open to air screens you cannot close. They have fantastic fans. I think it was the timing of us going in June as it rained every day at 97 % humidity and for some reason, no breeze off the Pacific Ocean made it uncomfortable but tolerable. I’m sure in other months it’s probably very comfortable. At the house my Verizon intl plan could not get any cell connectivity. . I had to rely on the Wi-Fi which went offline almost every day due to electricity going out every day just brief 5-10 min, nothing notably long, not uncommon. Easily reset but annoying. You must have a 4 x 4 vehicle to access this property, the road up to the property is one lane and all uphill. Well worth the drive once you get there. It is a 4 Hour Drive from the SJO airport And know that most of the popular excursions are at at least one hour drive from house. Food was fantastic!

This is a beautiful house with a great view. Lots of space. The host has a lot of good information and ideas. When told you may want a flashlight it is good advice to take. The neighborhood does on occasion loose power. Which is out of the hosts control. Good news the water works even when the power does not. Unlike, where we come from. Do also be sure to have 4 wheel drive for the driveway. We saw many new animals and insects. The pool was a great way to cool off. We would stay again.

Belle région!

La propriétaire est fort sympathique et répond rapidement à tous les courriels et appels téléphoniques. Elle se préoccupe constamment du bien-être de ses locataires. Nous avons fait un magnifique voyage, la maison est bien située pour découvrir cette région du Costa Rica et choisir des activités variées. Elle offre beaucoup d’espace, chacun y trouve son intimité tout en vivant facilement en groupe. Toucans et singes viennent régulièrement se montrer la binette. Donc, bon choix de location, malgré le fait que la propriété ait besoin d’un peu d’amour: fonctionnement des ventilateurs, réfrigérateur, luminosité le soir et portes/fenêtres moustiquaires.

This was my third stay and the other guest second stay on this property. We come back because we love the privacy and all the wildlife. Just some of the wildlife we saw: great curassows, chachalacas, crested guans, toucans, trogans, a tayra, aracacaries, coatis, and the white faced capuchins, slept in the trees next to the villa each night. The view is spectacular and the whole setting so relaxing. The pool is great for cooling down on hot afternoons and also a focus of entertainment for kids. Driving up the road into the area is part of the adventure too and everyone always watches for animals along the way. Both the casita and the villa, where we stayed, are gorgeous. We will be back!

We had a most adventuresome time during our stay. We were visited by a variety of animals and enjoyed the rain that came in the late afternoon/ evenings. Claire & Bud were most gracious and helpful hosts. There was more detail than we could process, but it was all very appreciated. The food recommendations were incredible and we didn't have 1 bad meal while we were here. We loved the authentic meal we had after visiting the waterfall with Marvin. Milady is a wonderful cook.

If you’re looking for a view with lots of wildlife, this is for you!

Claire and Bud were excellent with communication. They made sure we were happy and had everything we needed for our stay. They also asked several times if we had any recommendations to make the stay better. The Homs is very clean and welcoming. You’ll want to be sure to have a 4x4 vehicle, to make it up and down the mountain. The first drive up may be intimidating to some, as well as the drive down to the house. Don’t worry, it gets easier after the first go round. There is plenty of space in the home and a very large wrap around deck. The pool is clean, but we didn’t use it much. The first day there, we saw a sloth in a tree close to the house. If you toss some fresh fruit on the ground, over the railing behind the pool, you’ll get to see Coati’s and other small animals come up for a bite, if you’re quiet. 3 days in a row, we had visits from white face capuchins… that was exciting! One would even come on the deck. There are little geckos all over :) they don’t bother you at all. Cute little things! The location of the home is perfect! Close to so many amazing beaches! I would definitely recommend this home to anyone, and we would gladly stay again.

Villa Kristina Maria

Beautiful home with lovely ocean view. Very nice pool, outdoor space, and decks. Kitchen is very well equipped with all the appliances and cooking supplies you need. The home is very spacious with lots of ceiling fans to keep it cool. Just know that the home is a 10-15 minute drive from the main highway to Uvita. You definitely need 4 wheel drive as the road is not paved, and very steep at times.

Amazing property!!!

We had a great experience at Villa Kristina Maria. The house was exactly as described. It was peaceful and surrounded in wildlife. We had visits daily from toucans and monkeys would come by the property as well. One day, we had 2 separate visits from monkeys. The views from every room were breathtaking with sweeping ocean views. The home was clean and the host was immediately responsive to questions during our stay. The home is large and was perfect for our family of 8. Everyone had their own space. There were games and books available for guests to use. The kitchen is furnished well with everything you need to barbecue, cook and make tropical drinks. We would definitely stay here again with our family. The drive up the property was steep, but we had no issues getting to the property.

We were a family of six. This was our first time in Costa Rica. House is a real gem. You’re basically on the side of a forested mountain. Plus you can look out and see the ocean. Tons of beautiful birds, monkeys, iguanas right outside the door. Close proximity to gorgeous beaches.

This home encapsulates Costa Rica

Between the forest up against the hill is this gem of a property with pristinely manicured garden - decks off every bedroom to take in the wildlife that is rampant around the house. We had a sloth in the tree next to the pool! The stunning view of the Pacific Ocean and the beautiful parade of clouds on the horizon was a pleasant surprise. Toucans, macaws, green parrots, three kinds of monkeys, just to name a few. Morpho butterflies every single day floating between us on the deck. Two huge frogs claiming the side of the pool at night. This place is paradise. I will come back here often God willing. The owners are super kind and accommodating- you need a 4x4 but the road offered additional sightings and amazing greenery. Not a problem. We enjoyed the private beach and club that ‘comes with the house’. Delicious food and we had the entire beach to ourselves - great swimming. This house has everything you need - view, ambiance, decks everywhere, beautiful pool, stunning garden and all the wildlife right there. You may never want to leave the house. Pura Vida!!

A Jungle Oasis

From the moment you arrive at Villa Kristina Maria you are at ease. The drive up the mountain and down the driveway may have been a bit harry, but the view, jungle sounds, and serenity will immediately put you into Tico Time. We are a family of eight travelers and this was our second time to Costa Rica. We loved every minute of our time at VKM. The views are breath taking. We loved watching the storms move in and out from the comfy rocking chairs on the deck. Our children adored the pool and watching birds and monkeys all while swimming. Our group so enjoyed waking early to watch and hear the jungle come alive. From the howlers to the toucans in the trees, it was an unforgettable experience for us. The house was very clean and inviting. We found the kitchen to have all we needed to prepare meals. Each bedroom was clean and accommodated our large group easily. We found soaps and shampoos waiting for us which made travel a breeze. One rainy day, the house was a sanctuary for our family and allowed us to play games, nap, and read. It was the perfect downtime while in the jungle. We found lots to do in the area. Beaches are rocky and the surf rough, but still fun. Our kids loved taking the boogie boards from the house to the beach with us. A mangrove tour in Sierpe is a must as is zip lining the Osa Canopy. Lots to do - or not do - in the Uvita area. We found great souvenir shopping in Dominical - along with a top notch sushi restaurant! The super market shopping in Uvita was easy. Prices were high and the selection limited. We were glad we did a big trip before we left San Jose. The drive from San Jose was about 4 hours each way. It was not difficult as the roads are in good condition, just slow and long. One lane most of the way made it seem slower than it was. VKM's owners were friendly, knowledgeable, and always there to answer questions while we were in Costa Rica. I would highly recommend VKM to anyone looking for an oasis in the jungle.

Absolutely Fantastic!

Villa Kristina Maria is absolutely perfect for nature-lovers who really want to get away from it all. Surrounded by the rainforest with all it’s accompanying sights and sounds though just a 10 minute drive back to civilisation (off-road - 4x4 required). From the house we saw Howler Monkeys, Coatis and many birds such as Toucans, Scarlet Macaws, Hummingbirds etc. and even a Laughing Falcon. We had a couple of issues in the beginning but these were quickly rectified by Claire. Claire really wants you to enjoy your stay. Tell her what you are interested in and she will give you perfect recommendations. The best day out was the Sierpe River Boat Trip, closely followed by Hacienda Baru but you should definitely have a guide. We saw so many things we would never have seen without a guide. If you want to stay in a beautiful wooden house surrounded by the rainforest, away from all sounds of civilisation with your own waterfall-fed private pool, then you cannoy do better than Villa Kristina Maria - wonderful!
