  This was our second time to Casa Buendia, and it is truly is a magical house. We decided to spend half of our trip outside Montezuma, and half returning to the Dominical area. This trip confirmed that Casa Buendia is such a special place, and there is really no reason to look elsewhere. We will continue to return to this house each time we visit Costa Rica.

  Amazing home with beautiful view, from every room in the house! We enjoyed the pool, and the beautiful sunrises and sunsets. We also enjoyed hearing the howler monkies at sunrise. Perfect family adventure! The meal we had cooked on our arrival day was delicious. Enjoyed Eric taking us to waterfall early in day on last day of our stay. Eric, Yelba and Luis were all helpful and friendly.None of us wanted to leave and we will definately be back!

  We had a wonderful holiday with a family of 5 adults and 2-year-old. The house was spacious enough for all of us to have own privacy, pool was perfect also for our small child and everything was just like in the pictures - no surprices there! The garden was full of life - birds and monkeys- and much more in a short drive away. In the house description 4-wheel-drive is recommended, but from our experience it's a must. Even during dry season it would be a real challenge to dry driving up there with normal two-wheel-drive. Surrounding area is quiet and not suitable for party seekers. Fun & tasty Jolly Rodger's bar was a short walk/ drive away, so if you don't want to make your own dinner every evening, their chicken wings and burgers are excellent choices! We also booked Luis to cook for us for the first evening, which was a perfect start for our luxurious holiday. Me and my family warmingly recommend this house to all! We had a wonderful holiday with great thanks to this lovely house!

  We stayed in Casa Buendia for 5 nights and it was absolutely incredibe. The house was gorgeous and the views were even better. For those who enjoy wildlife, there was a Tucan that visited us every morning and there was a yellow frog who visited us at night. I would higly recommend Casa Buendia to those who are looking for paridise in a tropical paridise.

  Casa Buendia exceeded all of my expectations - the house as beautiful as the pictures and the views are absolutely STUNNING. The house is set up perfectly for large groups and families with a great balance of common areas and private spaces. The house comes with every amenity you could possibly need. We saw lots of great wildlife in the trees while relaxing at the pool (toucans, humming birds, and even a monkey!) and took a great hike around the property - there is a waterfall not too far away. You truly feel like you are in paradise! Dominical is a great town - not too touristy and very relaxing - lots of surfers. There is a bar/restaurant half way up the hill to Casa Buendia called Jolly Rogers that has great food (pizza, wings, burgers), cold beer, and American football on the TV! Tortilla Flats in Dominical is also great for food. Stand Up Paddleboarding in Dominical with Shawn was awesome - he was a great teacher with lots of energy. Quepo Canyoning (near Quepos) was spectacular - our favorite activity by far. It was a 45 min drive from the house, but totally worth it. The "monkey drop" is something you will never forget! You will definitely need to rent a car to get around (make sure it is a four wheel drive) - taxis will come up to the house, but they tend to be a little pricey. The caretakers on property (Juan and Glenda) are friendly and beyond helpful. Louis, the property manager, cooked us an amazing meal the first night of our stay - it was a great way to start off our vacation. Vince, the owner of the house, is a pleasure to work with - he was very responsive to answer all of my questions and accommodate all of our requests. I highly recommend a trip to Casa Buendia - I will definitely be returning in the future!

  Every element of our stay was perfect! The house was impressive in its design, cleanliness and comfort. The staff was impressive in their ability to provide fabulous meals, a clean home and pool and beautifully groomed gardens, even though we rarely saw them. The chef prepared meals were absolutely superb! Even their reference to Uvita Information Center, yielded curtious assistance and linked us to the greatest experiences scuba diving, surfing, zip lining, and even restaurants. Our week at Casa Buendia can only be descibed as perfection! And all that was complimented by stunning views of the Pacific, the stream that can be heard in the house and the amazing monkeys that call from the trees. We can not wait to return!! Thank you Casa Buendia!

  Disfrutamos enormemente nuestra estadía en Casa Buendia. La casa es amplia, muy cómoda, con agradables dormitorios que disponen de su propio balcón, perfecta para unas vacaciones con familiares o amigos. Sus múltiples ambientes permiten satisfacer los más variados intereses. El área social se encuentra muy bien dispuesta, así como el área de cocina. La piscina es preciosa y de muy buen tamaño, con una vista impresionante del Océano Pacífico y desde donde pueden apreciarse gran cantidad de pájaros. Mención aparte merecen Juan y Glenda, atentos a servir de la mejor forma en todo lo que se les solicita. Esperamos regresar pronto.

  Our group of 9, composed of two families with five children ages 6-12 stayed for one week in March 2012. This house met our every need and exceeded all expectations. The home is very spacious yet welcoming, open and breezy. The house and everything in it feel new and are exceptionally clean and well kept.The kitchen is large and functional, with everything you could need. The views are breathtaking, the pool pristine and large enough for 5 active kids. From the large outside living area we watched birds including acaris, and listened to howler monkeys. The on-site caretakers were friendly, most helpful, and gave us peace of mind at night and when we were away from the house. We will definitely return to stay again, and would recommend this property to anyone.

  Recommended for: Adventure seekers, age 55+, romantic getaway, families with teenagers, families with young children, girls getaway.

  If you are looking for the great rental in Costa Rica, look no further. This house was fantastic. Every room is perfectly designed. The pictures don't do it justice, There are balconies off of every bedroom and it had a great living area. We loved this house and didn't want to leave. We arrived on Sunday afternoon and immediately put on our swim suits and settled in. Luis cooked a delicious dinner for our family. It was so good, we asked him to cook another meal later in the week. Don't pass on this option! Sonia at Uvita Tours took care of all of our activities from canopy zip lining, horseback riding on the beach, hiking in the rainforest, kayaking in the Pacific Ocean to massages at the house. The housekeepers Juan and Glenda, were great. Juan took us to the waterfall near the house. We never would have found it without his help. What a fantastic vacation! We can't wait to return to Casa Buendia!
