"The house was comfortable, the ocean out the backdoor, the vibrant life of Costa Rica all around- we had an amazing time here!"

"We had a very good stay in this schedule place in the rain forest. Staff were so friendly and made our stay a pleasant experience."

"Robert and Whit were incredibly kind hosts and offered great suggestions to make our stay most enjoyable. The restaurants they recommended did not disappoint!

Mais ce serait super d'empêcher ceux-ci de loger avec nous!...

Could have used instructions for shower hot water, propane stove, and washing machine. Also wished for a couple of comfortable patio chairs. Hammocks were nice."
