My husband and I rented the Casita for 10 days, and it was sparkling clean (thank you, Roxie) and comfortable. The air conditioning in the main bedroom was quiet and a welcome relief for sleeping, since during the day it was beautiful & sunny, and 95 degrees every single day - barely cooling off to 80 degrees at night. We ate tons of fresh fruit, and explored many beaches, heading both north and south. We put our 4x4 rental to good use. Carrillo Beach is absolutely stunning with clear water and gentle rolling waves, and sunsets viewed from the south end of Samara Beach were beautiful. We fished, snorkeled and hiked, and went on the Outback 4X4 tour, with Christian as our guide - which was a blast! Be careful when reading previous reviews, which can be misleading. The Casita would be "very uncomfortable" for 2 couples, since the loft would never cool down enough for someone to sleep up there - at least during this time of year. And the single bathroom would be awkward. Also be forewarned that this property sits at the intersection of the Beach Road and the main road to Carrillo - Route 160. The traffic starts at 6AM, on the main road with loud trucks, motor bikes, etc., and on the Beach Road with fishermen, tourists, and hotel patrons (from around the corner and next door) traveling to the beach. The covered patio was not always a relaxing place to hang out due to the road noise. I'm guessing the renters of the Casa did not have this problem (pool in back yard). The Casita's outdoor shower is not private - it is open to the yard, main house and the hotel next door. Also, the items listed as available via the VRBO listing (kayaks, bikes) are only for the renters of the Casa, not the Casita - we were told this by David, property manager. Paul emailed a very helpful Information Packet which we referred to often - Thank you! We enjoyed our stay, and will likely travel to this part of Costa Rica again in the very near future.
