Other things to note Please read before booking your stay with us: There is a potential for noise during your stay due to the construction behind our property. Construction noise is endemic to all of Costa Rica and especially popular beach towns. It is generally quiet, but we cannot guarantee you will have a perfectly peaceful week so our nightly rate is discounted for this reason. Also, please be aware that the house is built on a hillside with a sloped parking area, so we recommend an ATV or 4x4 during your stay. There are steps leading up to the house, as well as a staircase inside the home, so be sure guests are physically able to climb stairs. Our house is family friendly, but it is an adventure house with a balcony that wraps around the entire house. We do not recommend it for young children or those who love to climb railings as it is very high up off the ground. Our daughter and her friends are 6 to 7 and it's been great for them. We would not recommend for toddlers and crawlers. It is not an uncommon occurrence in Costa Rica to periodically be temporarily without power, water or internet in this region. We have a large backup water tank (3 days worth) and LED lanterns just in case. Also, water pressure in Costa Rica is lower than what we experience in major North American cities. Lastly, our little slice of heaven is biodiverse so you may have little jungle visitors (like monkeys, crabs, lizards and exotic bugs). At night you'll mainly see moths who are attracted to light bulbs and the geckos who enjoy eating the bugs. Each bed is equipped with mosquito nets for a peaceful nights sleep. That being said it is all a part of the Costa Rica charm and adventure and we love it. Life is unexpected here, so enjoy the ride and the beauty of nature. We will do everything we can to make your stay as wonderful and comfortable as possible, but we cannot offer refunds for outages, bad weather, bugs or construction noise. Sorry!
