Overview
Casa Maria is a private mountain estate with epic ocean views
Casa Maria is a spectacular rental home situated in the jungle covered mountains above Uvita Costa Rica that was designed to be your home away from home. This newly remodeled (2015) rental home is conveniently located just minutes away from local shops, beaches and activities the area has to offer. The property is encircled by lush rainforest and enjoys expansive views of the Pacific Ocean with the regions most well known landmark, the Whale’s Tail, right in the middle of a panoramic scene. The convenient location and the attention to detail and comfort make Casa Maria a standout rental property in Uvita and, one of the nicest in the Costa Ballena region of Costa Rica.
The property at Casa Maria consists of two separate homes that can host groups ranging from 6 to 14 adults, and more if there are children in the party. The three bedroom main house sleeps up to ten people and has an open floor plan that takes full advantage of the surrounding beauty. When your group isn’t playing outside in the pool and enjoying the large patio with new outdoor furniture, they are sure to congregate in the kitchen and living room areas that flow together seamlessly.
The large living room has an exceptionally comfortable wrap-around sofa and a large flat screen TV with DVD player and surround sound making it an excellent place to relax and watch a movie or read a book.
The large kitchen will delight the chef in your group. It is fully stocked with gas range, large refrigerator, microwave, toaster, blender, espresso machine, cookware, glasses, dishes and silverware. You will find all the items you need to cook a gourmet meal. The grill is outside on the pool patio just a few steps from the kitchen. If you prefer to stay in and don't want to cook we can arrange to have a personal chef come to the home and prepare a meal for your group with fresh, local ingredients. Please ask Mercedes for more information.
Children and Parents will love Casa Maria. We have numerous children in our family so we built what we call ‘Munchkin Land.’ This is a playroom with games, books, toys, and a rocking horse that will keeps kids busy so that parents can relax. We have a full crib that converts to a small daybed for toddlers and a pack-n-play. These can be moved into any of the bedrooms at Casa Maria.
The equally appointed “Casita at Casa Maria” is a cozy two bedroom, one bath with large kitchen, comfortable couches and a TV room. We have found that large groups with multiple couples or teens enjoy the layout of the separate homes which offers extra privacy and solitude.
NOTE: If your group consists of 10 people or less we can offer the main house without access to the casita at a reduced rate
(-$500 per week or -$72 per night) This offer is available at our discretion and will depend upon potential occupancy.
About Mercedes Chastain
We are the Shriwise family from Western Kansas USA. My name is Mary. I am a first grade teacher whose love for Casa Maria is only second to the kids in my class. My husband Sid is a farmer. He likes to stay busy so he runs around the grounds of Casa Maria planting trees, flowers and fruit during his vacations. We put a lot of love into Casa Maria and we think you will see it in every detail.
Mercedes Chastain purchased this house in 2013
Why Mercedes Chastain chose Puntarenas
We hope you enjoy Casa Maria as much as we do. Our family travels to Uvita every chance we get for a good dose of sunshine and the relaxing vibes known locally as Pura Vida. If you are trying to decide which area of Costa Rica you want to visit, we think you will enjoy the town of Uvita and the entire Costa Ballena region. There is so much to do, see and experience that you, like us, won't want to ever leave. Casa Maria is a fully stocked rental home that is perfect for large groups, families or couples looking for a vacation rental with privacy and comfort immersed in un-spoiled Costa Rican beauty. We invite you into our home and hope you enjoy your stay.
What makes this house unique
We love Casa Maria because you have complete privacy yet are only minutes from town. There is a waterfall just below the house where you can swim and play for hours.

Paradise vacation with grandsons
My wife and I, daughter and son in law, and two grandsons, 2 and 5 years old, spent an incredible week at this gorgeous place. The minute we arrived the boys (and adults also) were ready to jump into the pool. The pool overlook is as picturesque as you could ever imagine, with the whale's tail and Pacific Ocean looking at you in the distance. The sunset views were beautiful. Mornings were so peaceful sitting by the pool with wildlife sounds filling the morning soundscape. The house interior is spacious and beautiful.
The kitchen is awesome with all that is needed for home cooked meals. The house has everything you would ever need. There is so much to do in the general vicinity. Jungle hiking, zip line, surfing, waterfall tours; and many great restaurants and "sodas".
This place is incredible. I highly recommend it. You will not be disappointed.
One of my greatest vacations!
Casa Maria is beautiful beyond description. You cannot ask for a more serene, tranquil, gorgeous location. If you did nothing more than stay at the house, relax on the veranda, enjoy the pool or delight in the breathtaking views, your vacation would not have been wasted.
A beautiful spot!
Our second visit to Casa Maria in just over a year did not disappoint. Every evening we enjoyed a magnificent sunset, framed by interesting cloud formations, leaving the sky with unparalleled shades of pink and orange. We were entertained on the veranda by parrots, toucans, and a multitude of other exotic birds. The kitchen is spacious and well equipped, conducive to serving both small dinners and large groups. Bedrooms and bathrooms are spacious and configured so that there are essentially 3 suites. Mercedes Chastain, the property manager, has lived in Uvita for ten years. She is a wonderful resource for planning explorations and activities.
Fantastic Views Await!!!
Our family stayed at Casa Maria for several nights over the past Christmas holidays. It was a pleasure. The home is located a short distance from the main highway up a bumpy road. Once you actually get there you soon realize that you are in a slice of heaven. The home is very nice and spacious and appointed with everything you would need to have a great vacation. The furnishings and bedding are of high quality and makes for an extremely comfortable stay. However, the real jewel is the pool and magnificent view overlooking Uvita and the Pacific Ocean. We spent much of the time just sitting in the warm pool overlooking the sea. In all, I would highly recommend the home and we really enjoyed the whole experience. Mercedes was very helpful in meeting us and the only time we needed her was when the electricity turned off. She had someone over in a flash who quickly fixed the problem and allowed us to continue our great vacation. Thanks Mercedes and Casa Maria. We will be returning . Pura Vida Costa Rica!!!!!
Vacation Paradise
This house was the provided the perfect sanctuary for our 9 day family vacation. Let me start off by saying after watching the video and looking at the pictures numerous times we were all still astonished at its beauty and the views when we arrived. When you walk through the front door your eyes are immediately drawn to the back of the house with the large windows and the view. The back porch was definitely the congregating area for my family. Between the views, beautiful weather, kids playing in the pool and the comfortable furniture we were always out on the porch. One morning we had 7 macaw parrots land in the trees just beyond the pool! The pool was phenomenal and the kids could not be in it enough according to them. The bedrooms are all very large and comfortable, each with their own bathroom access. We did experience some cloudy days that the showers in the main house did not get very hot due to the solar water heater. If a hot shower was desired we would just shower in the guest house. Having a full kitchen and a large dining table worked out perfect for us. It is a short drive into town for groceries and we cooked almost every meal at home. Zip lining, ATV Tour and Whitewater Rafting were the three amazing excursions that we experienced. I was amazed with the way they interacted with my children and made sure that we all had a great time. This was the most relaxing vacation I have ever been on and honestly I owe it to the relaxing atmosphere and comfort of this home.
This was an amazing home! It was by far the best house we have ever rented!
We had a great experience! The house and grounds were beautiful and the pool was so refreshing. The details and decor indoors were very nice. We even had a welcome basket with fruit, coffee and wine. Mercedes was great in offering to book any excursions and was extremely helpful and prompt to respond to all emails. Our group definitely enjoyed the cool air conditioning throughout the main house and in the bedrooms of the guest house. The only downside was that there was not hot water for showers for several days. We had a large group so the hot water heater might not have been able to keep up with the demand. The only other note is that there is not a hot tub but a small relaxing tub connected to the pool. We would definitely rent again! Our motto was "bad roads lead to great houses!"
