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.

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. The panoramic views of the Ocean, Isla Ballena, Cano Island, Tres Hermanas and the majestic Rainforest are enough to take your breath away!

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!

Guests who rent our Casita enjoy the use of beautiful beaches with our membership at the local Beach Club. The Beach Club has a restaurant, bar, swimming pool, restrooms, showers, free parking, and a private access to the beach in Marino Ballena National Park.

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.

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

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!

Great time in Costa Rica
Great 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
This 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
Our 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.
The 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.
