We had a nice stay at Eva Marie’s cabins. She was very responsive to any needs and helpful in planning our activities. Directions for arrival and check in were detailed and precise. She provided great info on nearby walkable locations like groceries and restaurants which were very convenient. The houses were nice and clean and had what we needed for cooking. The location is convenient to the national park, and the neighborhood is full of wonderful restaurants and hotels, very active early morning and late evening which can make for a good deal of noise.

The house is very nice and cozy in the middle of the green. Good bed and bath linen and assembled kitchen. We were greeted with fruits, wine and coffee from Costa Rica which was a kindness of the hostess. Well-maintained garden and clean pool. Had a great hosting!

We had a eight total, a real family reunion! The accomodations were super, the air conditioners were up to the job, and the double parking space easily accommodated the GMC Yukon that we rented to haul us all around. (The "joy" of driving, and parking, that monstrosity in Costa Rica tourist area traffic, however...) There's plenty of built-in cabinetry so we could unpack. The kitchens were well equipped, and we mainly used them for breakfast. The grandkids loved the pool, which is well maintained. Half a block away there's a small grocery and a super restaurant/bar with a great view! The food is great too! It was so nice to be able to get to The Happy Pig without dealing with the Yukon! The washing machines are super -- really up to date and high capacity! There's no dryer, which I suspect has more to do with the available electrical service than anything else. Air drying works well, but if it's raining you should just bring the drying rack into the bathroom. Great host and staff!

We loved it here! Eva-Maria is an excellent and quick communicator and everything worked perfectly. We stayed two families with a total of 10 people at the property. The houses are small but has everything you need and the AC is really efficient. The property is not big and the pool is small but worked perfectly to cool off after a day in the park or hiking. Many birds in the area, go for a walk at dawn and bring binoculars and you will spot many different species. We were lucky and spotted toucans. We liked the local restaurant around the corner El cerdo feliz. We could have stayed longer, lovely houses and lovely area!

The space was perfect for a large family or 2 separate families. It was secluded, yet close to everything. Mini the resident cat was such a sweetheart to have around. Jenny was an incredible help & so kind to our family. Overall we were so impressed & grateful for the hospitality. We would definitely recommend this place to anyone.
