We have been talking with the owner regarding this property since before the pandemic when we originally had planned to stay there. Unfortunately, we had to postpone the trip until this year (Dec 2022) when we finally got to go and stay in this amazingly charming property!
This was exactly what we expected, and users need to understand the difference between a "hotel" and "home rental". Our kids (older teens) LOVED the house and especially the pool, and we all loved waking to the sounds of nature around us (howler monkeys at 5am/11am, birds (including Toucans!) 6am onward! We enjoyed sitting by the pool in the morning enjoying our coffee and just looking around. We also enjoyed many walks down to the beach (2km straight east) and in all directions around the property looking for animals (aside from birds and monkeys we saw green poison dart frogs, and a sloth closer to Playa Negro). The charming town of Cahuita is just 5km away and was perfect for us! Not like Puerto Veijo at all which is busier. We would drive into town every day for coffee, meals, shopping, or activities. The Cahuita National Park (a MUST for anyone visting this region) is right in the town of Cahuita, and we visited it several times.
The house had everything we needed, and the local person who was assigned to help us was extremely prompt to look into any issues (of which we only had very minor issues - e.g., burnt out light bulbs). The air conditioning worked marvelously, and even though it was quite hot at that time, we almost had to shut it off at night as it almost too cold with it on.
We felt like this was "our home" when we were there, and would LOVE to stay there again if we ever had the chance to go back! It truly was a "Jungle Oasis"!!
Thanks for the memories!!!
