Welcome to Paradise!
Villa Kristina Maria is located a cool comfortable 200 meters above the beautiful Pacific Coastline with Panoramic Ocean views from every room.

The surrounding jungle promises an abundance of tropical sights and sounds that will delight you by day and night.... You will experience the Best of Nature!

Our tropical Community is surrounded by an additional 100+ acres of a protected wildlife reserve so it will always be located on a native animal corridor. The Panoramic views of the Ocean, Isla Ballena, Cano Island, Tres Hermanas (Three Sisters rocks), Osa Peninsula, and the surrounding Rain forest will take your breath away!

Have your camera ready! Enjoy everyday visits of the Howler monkeys, white-faced capuchin monkeys, white-nosed coatimundi, agoutis, iguanas, toucans, parrots, many other exotic birds, beautiful butterflies including the spectacular blue morpho, dragonflies, frogs, and other jungle wildlife.

Villa Kristina Maria has 4 spacious bedrooms each with its own sliding glass door which opens onto its own exterior deck. There are 2 Master bedroom suites... There is one upstairs Master bedroom suite and one downstairs Master bedroom suite.

Relax under the covered deck in rocking chairs, hammock, or lounge chairs. Go for a swim in the sparkling tiled swimming pool. Listen to the sounds of the natural rock waterfall surrounded by lush tropical plants and flowers. Enjoy an ice cold drink made from the delicious fruits of the area while sitting under the palapya covered deck at the fully equipped wet bar with refrigerator, sink and bar stools. This is the rhythm of your daily life at Villa Kristina Maria.... You'll never want to leave!

The home is tropically furnished including beautiful artwork by local Costa Rican artisans. Each of the four bedrooms has a queen sized bed, pillow top mattress, mirrored armoire wardrobe, and its own covered deck with a ceiling fan, plus views of the Ocean, Islands and Jungle. Every room in the house is vented with woodwork and screens done by local artisans to enhance the constant gentle flow of cool ocean breezes throughout the house.

It has a Breakfast Bar with granite countertops and specially hand crafted modern wooden cabinetry throughout. The fully equipped kitchen with stainless steel appliances including a dishwasher, tropical designed dishes, toaster, electric coffee maker, blender, pots and pans, cooking utensils and beautiful custom granite counters is the social center of the home. For an extra special treat, create your own gourmet dinner and serve it in the dining room or outdoor deck table while enjoying the sunset views over the ocean. Sit in the living room, open the sliding glass doors, and create a spacious indoor/outdoor living area with panoramic views of the ocean, surrounding jungle covered mountains, pool, and Costa Rica wildlife.

Amazing
Our stay at Villa Kristina Maria was absolutely amazing ( the ocean view,the wild life and the lush jungle ) Our family of nine couldn’t have picked a better place to stay for our first trip to Costa Rica.. only about 10 min from the town of Uvita made it easy to get groceries and experience all that the area had to offer , zip line , snorkeling, hiking and the beautiful waterfalls and beaches..The locals were amazing and very helpful.. Will definitely return.

Great views
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.

Great place for a family stay in Paradise
There are so many adventures and activities to do around the Uvita area. Claire and Bud’s place was the perfect house with a the perfect location to enjoy all Uvita has to offer. While there we enjoyed the pool and deck and were able to see lots of wildlife including sloths, monkeys, toucans, and other amazing animals. Would definitely come back and stay here if in the area.

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!

Our stay at Villa Kristina Maria was wonderful. The homes location offers amazing views and is surrounded by jungle. We saw monkeys and toucans daily and even had some coatis visit. Hope to return in the future. Working with the owner was easy.
