Casa Santa Maria is even more beautiful than the photos. Sitting on the deck overlooking the bush and the river is breathtaking. The house is immaculately clean, with minimalist chic decor. Jim went out of his way as a host. As others have noted, the highlight of CSM is definitely Lucy. She is one of the warmest, most generous and genuine people I have ever met. She will take care of you as though you were her best friend. She works incredibly hard, but does everything with a smile. Her fry jacks are amazing! Lucy's daughter Chloe is a natural born ambassador. Do take the opportunity to visit The Martinez Farm. Every family member we met was funny and kind. The pontoon ride with Lucy's brother Laz was just a perfect day. Thanks Laz. The sound of the Howler monkeys in the early morning is hauntingly beautiful. We left Casa Santa Maria just a few hours ago and I miss it already. You should consider yourself blessed and lucky to visit.
