Amazing property with amazing views!

My family and I, once again, had the most memorable experiences in Costa Rica while having the pleasure of staying at the beautiful Casa de Moses! The images of the view of the whale tail in the listing DO NOT do it justice. It is so much better in person! The place was immaculate when we arrived and had all of the amenities. The one and ONLY issue we had was no WiFi the entire stay. We don’t know what the problem actually was as we could connect to the network with full signal strength but the actual data wasn’t there. We called the property management company and were told someone would be out take a look at it but they never showed. Not a big deal as we had plenty of activities to occupy our time but may be important in case of emergencies. Overall, we are very happy with our stay and you can’t beat the proximity to Uvita. We will definitely book this property again in the future. Tip* you absolutely have to have a 4x4 to get to the property, but that makes it so much more fun!!

Beautiful house

Casa Moses is a beautiful property! The grounds, the house, the pool-all wonderful. The view-incredible! Beds were comfy and the kitchen was fully stocked. Hit the supermercado before driving to the house. The WiFi was not working while we were there, which really only bothered my teens. There is a/c in the bedrooms (and made sleeping very comfortable) but not in the rest of the house. The office/loft space was unusable due to the heat. The main living space was hot in the evening, so we spent it outside and went early to bed. The pool quit working while we were there, but I contacted management and they sent someone out the next morning. Unfortunately, we were planning on leaving that evening for San Jose, but moved it up due to not being able to swim for several more hours. You must have a 4x4 to access the property. It’s about a 15-20 minute drive using 4WD and it’s straight uphill with lots of switchbacks. If you are not comfortable driving and using 4WD and changing from low to high, I would not recommend this house. We had a 4WD vehicle, but I would recommend renting a larger 4WD, so the engine is more powerful to help you get up those hills without sliding. Lots of sliding…😬 We like to come and go a lot, and the drive up with our car made that difficult. If we had one of the large toyotas or mitsubishis that would have made it better for coming and going as we tried to limit it to once a day. If you like to stay put, this house would definitely be amazing.

Difficult access

This house is beautiful and the grounds are meticulous. Our biggest issue with this property was the drive. As other have said, it is very steep, rocky and rutted. We had a 4x4 SUV and it had difficulty on a few sections of the 3 km drive up. This drive is not for the faint of heart. We did not have wifi the whole time we were there and did not receive any response from the Vacasa representative or local rep regarding this. Also had a short power outage and we would suggest that the guest manual have instructions on how to open the gate if this happens. If being connected is important to you, make sure you have a good data plan.

Beautiful, contemporary, clean, tranquil, safe

Very clean with all of modern conveniences of home. Pool, washer, dryer, AC in bedrooms, beautiful views. So peaceful. The house has an outdoor gas grill with all the accessories to cook outdoors. The kitchen fully accessorized. The only reason I had to give it 3 stars was due to the abscence of internet. The house is wired for internet, but it was not available for the 10 days I was there. I'm okay with being unplugged for a few days, but 10 days was too much. I planned on catching up on some loose ends from work while being undisturbed in a peaceful setting. That was not possible. No internet and thus no TV either. I had to shuffle between making trips to a local cafe in Uvita to get internet and using expensive international roaming. Every time I would show up in town and get cellular data coverage, my phone would blow up with missed texts, calls and emails. I even purchased a few different SIM cards from town. You can really only purchase 5 gigs at a time for about 25 USD. Every once in a while I could grab 2 bars of 3G from the rooftop terrace. The property management company was not helpful at all. They said they would send someone to look at it but never did. I gave up asking about it on day 5. The GPS coordinates were also incorrect. They are listed as (') first and (') second. they should be listed as (') first and (") second. Probably a typo, but you will not be able to find this place in the dark without correclty formating the GPS coordinates.
