Additional Information

Please review the following before booking:

• There may be occasional noise from construction behind the property. Construction noise is common throughout Costa Rica, especially in popular beach towns. While generally quiet, we cannot guarantee complete silence during your stay. Our nightly rate reflects this consideration.
• The house is built on a hillside with a sloped parking area; we recommend using an ATV or 4x4 vehicle during your visit.
• There are stairs leading up to the house and an internal staircase, so guests should be able to climb stairs comfortably.
• Although family-friendly, the home is an adventure-style property with a balcony wrapping around the entire house. It is not recommended for toddlers or young children who tend to climb railings due to the height. Our own children aged 6 to 7 have enjoyed it safely.
• Temporary outages of power, water, or internet can occur in this region. We provide a large backup water tank (sufficient for three days) and LED lanterns for emergencies.
• Water pressure is generally lower than in major North American cities.
• The biodiverse environment means you may encounter local wildlife such as monkeys, crabs, lizards, and exotic insects. At night, moths attracted to lights and geckos hunting bugs are common sights.

These elements are part of the authentic Costa Rican experience, adding to the charm and adventure of your stay. We strive to make your visit as comfortable and enjoyable as possible but cannot offer refunds for outages, adverse weather, insects, or construction noise. Thank you for understanding.
