2BR Villa in San José

Nicola

Excellent, 1 week ago

We spent a week at Casa Capung as a family and everything was absolutely perfect! The villa is exceptionally comfortable, spotless, and fully equipped with everything you could possibly need. The pool, views, and peaceful setting made our stay unforgettable. We would love to come back and highly recommend it to anyone!

The place is very nice and the house is very cozy. Access is only by 4x4, but it's worth it because it's so nice, and the house is very well maintained. Mar's service and welcome were excellent!

Host Response

Thank you very much for such a wonderful review! We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed the beauty and warmth of the house. The 4x4 ride is definitely part of the adventure to get to our little piece of paradise, and we love to know that you felt it was totally worth it.

Amazing stay in Uvita! The views are breathtaking, with a perfect view of the Whale’s Tail and incredible sunsets. We saw toucans from the pool area every day, along with countless birds, butterflies, and even howler monkeys at sunrise. It truly feels like you’re living in the clouds. I was concerned about visiting in June and not having AC in the main living area, but it was never an issue. The elevation, breeze, and ceiling fans kept everything comfortable, and the bedrooms have AC for sleeping. The management team was outstanding. They had groceries waiting for us upon arrival, met us at check-in, and were quick to help with anything we needed. The kitchen was well stocked, the property felt safe and secure, and restaurants, coffee shops, and a supermarket were only 10-15 minutes away. My only suggestion would be more lounge-friendly seating in the living room. There was enough seating for four people, but not a comfortable space to stretch out and relax together in the evenings.

The house felt smaller in person, especially the bedrooms and indoor bathroom. The pool is small, and because of the plants around it you can't really see the view while you're in the pool. The view is still nice, just not quite as open as we were expecting since the beach and mountain views are blocked by plants. If you're hoping for sunset views, there is no clear view. The primary bath is completely outside - fine except for the ants and bees. The AC went out on our first night, which made the guest bedroom very hot. Maintenance fixed the AC the next day. The remote for the gate didn't work - we had to use the keypad. The hand sprayer in the primary bath broke. The house also leaked during heavy rain, and some of the doors don't seal properly, so there is gapping or difficulty shutting them. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and thought the house was beautiful. It just didn't quite live up to our expectations for the price, mainly because of the size, view, and a few maintenance issues.

Thank you for taking the time to share your detailed feedback, and we are glad to hear that you ultimately found the home beautiful and enjoyed your stay. We take your comments very seriously as they help us maintain the high standards our guests expect. Because our villa is nestled in a lush, tropical jungle environment, dense plant growth is a natural part of the scenery. We love that it provides incredible privacy, but we appreciate your feedback regarding the views and sunsets, and we will certainly evaluate our seasonal landscaping to ensure the best balance between privacy and openness. Being in the jungle also means encountering local wildlife, though we always strive to keep bugs to an absolute minimum, even in our popular outdoor bathroom spaces. We apologize sincerely for the unexpected maintenance hiccups you experienced during your stay. We are glad our team was able to get the AC up and running for you the very next day. We always want our guests to feel they received exceptional value for their experience, and we truly appreciate your constructive insights.

Casa Capung was one of the most memorable places we’ve stayed. Every morning started with coffee overlooking the jungle canopy, listening to the howler monkeys and evenings ended with sunsets and the sounds of nature all around us. The villa is the perfect balance between luxury and adventure. The pool, outdoor living spaces, and panoramic views were incredible, and we found ourselves wanting to spend as much time at the property as we did exploring Costa Rica. The home was spotless, beautifully designed, well-equipped, and offered plenty of privacy while still being conveniently located for visiting nearby beaches, waterfalls, and local attractions. One thing guests should know is that getting to the villa is part of the adventure. The roads leading to the property are steep, so a true 4x4 vehicle is required. The hosts were fantastic and chefs breakfast was amazing as were the in home massage services. Shout out to Taylor for going above and beyond for our stay. Can’t wait to return!

We really enjoyed the view from the terrace and from the pool! Except for the typical jungle sounds, we were able to enjoy a lot of peace and quiet. The kitchen actually has everything you need and more (e.g., smoothie maker, air fryer, gas grill)... so we were able to use and enjoy the fresh fruits of the region every day. A highlight is the view from the bed of the whale fin! A washing machine and dryer are all present. The hosts are available at any time via WhatsApp. Thank you for this great place and the wonderful time here!

The place was an absolute dream! The property management was always quick and easy to reach by phone and chat and was able to provide support with all matters. Would definitely come again!

Hosting Fabian was an absolute pleasure! He was a fantastic guest incredibly kind, respectful, and friendly from the moment he booked. Communication was smooth and effortless throughout his stay, and he left the place in pristine condition. Guests like Fabian are the reason we love hosting. He is welcome back anytime, and I highly recommend him to any future host!

This is the second time we’ve stayed at this home and we loved it again! Beautiful home. Immaculate. Responsive host. Couldn’t ask for a better experience. Thank you!!

This house is truly something very special! The pictures don’t do it justice, this space really is perfect. Ryan and Kristen’s home was an absolutely perfect stay for the last week of our vacation. The property has everything you need/think that you may need. The kitchen is ginormous, outside shower/bathtub is the perfect way to relax after a day at the beach, and the bed in the master bedroom is so comfy. We saw so many different birds and lizards hanging out by the pool! Great location with tons of beaches within 15-20 minute drive. The drive up to the house is a little scary when it’s raining, but 100% worth it. We cannot recommend this property enough.
