Mr Wolf, Eldon, Marita, & Cookie made us feel like family from the moment we arrived!
The place is beautiful, the town is great and the people are genuine!
Every suggestion made by Mr Wolf was spot on. Mr joe's, Neri's, Maria's Mini Market and The Rum, Coffee 7 Cigar Shop are fabulous! And, Suya Tours gave us a huge discount for taking more than one tour & they took great care of us the entire time!
Without a doubt, we fully & whole heartedly recommend a stay at the Casita Buena Vista! We WILL be returning! We miss them already!!!!
God bless you Mr Wolf, Eldon, Marita & Cookie!!!! Thanks you for making our stay in San Pedro a dream vacation!!!!

From the moment we arrived we felt at home! Mr Wolf, Eldon, Marita and Cookie took wonderful care of us doing everything possible to make us feel welcome and relaxed.
The property is beautiful and well maintained. The house is beautifully decorated and comfortable. We had everything we needed short of food. But, as a very nice and thoughtful welcome, Mr Wolf had taken the time to provide a gallon of fresh juice and a papaya for us.
Mr Wolf took the time to show us the town which was invaluable! All of his suggestions from food to fun turned out to be spot on. Maria's Mini Market made the best fresh juices, salsa & guacamole! Mr Joe's Grill & Cantina and Neri's Taco Stand were so tasty!!! Both are a MUST! And a stop in at The Rum, Coffee & Cigar shop on Middle Street to take in a sampling of all they offer is not to be missed!
A couple of nights we hired Eldon's better half, Bonzie, cooked local cuizine for us. She is an amazing cook and we highly recommend her!
We met so many amazing and friendly people. Since we were there in the off-season we really got to experience the true San Pedro. The place is relaxed and the people are genuine.
Casita Buena Vista is off the beaten path and private which made it a quiet and tranquill stay. We had the beach to ourselves. The snorkling right there was sweet with lots to see among the rocks and sea grass. Wolf has really done a beautiful job making a little piece of Heaven in paradise!
Suya Tours, another of Mr Wolf's suggestions, did not disappoint! They gave us a large discount for taking more than one of their tours. We did the cave tubing & zip-lining plus spent half a day swimming with sharks, turtles & rays at Hol Shan Reserve. We highly recommend them!
In short, you would not be disappointed in any way staying at Casita Buena Vista! We had the best time and will be returning as soon as possible!!!!
Thank you, Mr Wolf, Eldon, Marita and especially you, Cookie, for making our time in San Pedro a dream vacation!!!!!!!!!!! We miss you already!!!!!!! God bless you all!!!!!!!!!!
Sincerely,
Jenna, Scott & Aaron Norcom

I thought the place was awesome! It was alot bigger than I expected. I would definitely stay there again. The owner was extremely helpful and was accurate on his restaurant recommendations.

If you are looking for the granite and soaker tub luxury, stay in the casa. The casita has the luxury of wonderful people (Eldon and Marta) and a terrific, gracious host. We stayed here for two weeks and felt like it was home. We biked, swam, soaked up the sun and enjoyed the spacious casita. While we did not have a direct view of the ocean, this is remedied by a walk around the house and full use of the many lounge chairs, swimming, kayak, etc. Our host made us feel like friends and we had a fabulous time. Wolfgang provides many extra services and comments.

We couldn't have found a better place to explore San Pedro & Belize for the 1st time. Safe, clean, away from noise but not too far away, the Casita is absolutely Ambergris Caye's best value. Wolfgang & his staff make sure you have everything you need to enjoy every minute of your stay, & miss being there even before you leave. Wolfgang provided an expert town tour, recommendations for dining, groceries, & excursions, & his picks were right on, then he got out of our way so we could enjoy our vacation. His dog Cookie adopted us right away, & I am convinced he was sad to see us leave! This is NOT a luxury resort, so no 5-star dining (that's just down the road), or turn-down service (unless you do it yourself). Suya Tours was a little more expensive, but well worth the small extra cost, as my wife & I had our own personal guide snorkeling, & were in a group of 4 for the Mayan ruins. Favorite restuarants included The Sunset, Carolines Kitchen, & Caramba!, as well as the couple selling BBQ chicken by the side of the road. Maria's produce was always fresh, but try going down to the docks for produce right off the boats as well. Fresh fish is down there too, but get there early or get left out! The meat store has outstanding choriso, breakfast links, bulk sausage, & smoked BACON. The eggs are fresh & tasty, so we made breakfast each morning in the Casita. If you want to buy rum, shop around OUTSIDE of town - all the small grocery stores sell BELIZE rum, & prices were best at La Malinas across from the Hidden Treasure Restaurant. Also, rent the golf cart. The 1st time it rains, you'll be glad you did!

We LOVED it here. We snorkeled right off the sea wall & saw fish, starfish, & morey eels. The sun is hot, & the water inviting. Bring an underwater camera (we found one for under $100) - you will certainly use it. Oh, & forget about long pants, socks, or a suit: you won't need them (but bring a light jacket just in case). Also, Wolfgang provides personal laundry service halfway through the week, so you won't need a suitcase full of clothes either.

I'm rambling, with good reason, as I keep on thinking of other things that made this vacation super special. The reality is that although I enjoy emenities, what I REALLY enjoy is VALUE. This was the BEST VALUE trip I have ever made, & my wife & I are already making plans to go back again (& as I usually wear out a place in the first few days with typically no desire to return, that's sayin' something!).

Enjoy!

You will be welcomed to Ambergris Caye by the most kind and gracious host imaginable, and then you're ready to jump into the warm beautiful water right in your backyard. The casita is very spacious, with modest but comfortable furniture, two televisions, and a kitchen furnished with everything you need - including a new coffee maker! The location of the casita is out of the main city, which we loved for the quiet and privacy,however, a warning: no one is knocking on your window except Mr. Woodpecker, so don't get up to answer the door like we did our first night. We would also recommend the boat right to the island, and the small plane back to Belize City. Definitely make Casita Buena Vista your vacation home!!!

My husband and I stayed at Wolfgang's Casita Buena Vista rental during the first week of May 2011. Wolfgang and his staff, Mirta, Eldon and his awesome dog, Cookie, were the greatest and made our stay here absolutely wonderful. No complaints at all!

Wolfgang, the owner, treated us to a great tour of the town of San Pedro on our golf cart rental (which he arranged for us). The tour of the town was extremely helpful to us. All of his suggestions as far as places to shop, eat, etc., were right on the money.

Eldon, the groundskeeper, was there everyday and always went out of his way to talk to us and make sure we had everything we needed. He was such a cool guy! Mirta was a sweetheart and cleaned our casita twice while we there, even took care of our dirty laundry.

Wolfgang's 2 dogs & 1 cat were also great. His dog, Cookie, should be on the payroll. He had the sense that we were dog lovers and acted like it was his job to check on us, entertain us, and keep us company when we were just hanging out on the beautiful beach. Such a sweetie!

The Casita was very cute and quite accomodating -- exactly like the pictures and description! It was very clean and quite large, with a fully stocked kitchen. The bed was small, but very comfortable. The casita is located right behind the main house and just a few steps to the beach. And the beautiful beach! It had plenty of loungers, a hammock, lots of palm trees where you could always find shade out of the sun. It overlooked the beautiful Caribbean. The colors were just magnificent!

On Wolfgang's recommendation we used Suya Tours for diving and snorkeling and would highly recommend them! It is a 3 minute walk down the beach to their dock. We enjoyed several restaurants in town -- our favorites were Wild Mango and Crazy Crocs (awesome BBQ). Estels by the Beach has a great breakfast! The Hidden Treasure was great (but spray yourself down with Off -- there were mosquitos).

So if you are just looking for a great, quiet, comfortable place to enjoy a relaxing vacation that is away from town, this is the perfect place.

We will definitely be returning!

We had the time of our lives at Casita Buena Vista. We came in February from
Montana. It was like a wonderful blast of summer in the middle of brutal winter. We enjoyed fun activities every day.
Wolfgang and his staf treat you like you live there.We felt right at home but in paradise.Cant wait to book another vacation. Gina from Montana
