From the moment we arrived, I was blown away. The drive up, the lush greenery on property, views to die for (when it's clear out), all before going inside. I was looking for a house that felt like more of a true Costa Rican vibe, not a contemporary, and that is exactly what this is. The home is not fancy, but it's clean, beautiful, and exactly what I wanted. We had 6 adults, and there was so much room for us. So many beds, a kitchen that has all you could need, and a washer and dryer for us to use after all the fun activities of the day. Speaking of activities....the second we booked, the wonderful host Patrick asked us what activities our family wanted to do. We are an active bunch, and gave him quite a long list, from hanging bridges, horseback riding, ATVs, zip lining, waterfall repelling, sloths..... He made it all happen with ease! He also made reservations for our dinners and cooked in for us one night. So, not only is he a host, he's basically your trip coordinator as well. And you have the bonus option of hiring his driver Miguel. Miguel was amazing! He was given instructions every morning from Patrick on all we were doing that day, and off we went, with the only concern being having fun! The house also comes with an amazing breakfast every morning, and a housekeeper daily that is such a sweet woman. She made all beds after we left each day, washed towels, cleaned up breakfast, took out the trash and left you with nothing to worry about. The house also had musical instruments to play, board games, chess, puzzles, a pool house with hot tub and gym, and we took advantage of all of it! Every person in our party of 6 wants to go back, and we would all choose Patricks place again. On top of all that, the cost is an unreal value as well. I highly highly recommend this property to anyone. It made all our Costa Rica vacation dreams come true!
