Honestly I don’t know where to begin,...this house owner ( Linda ) was so helpful through email from the time I booked this house until the time we got home. She was so thorough with giving all information we needed. There were 3 of us for a girls trip,..we stayed almost a week and loved every minute. The pictures do not do the house justice. It is so much nicer and bigger in person ,..and there was everything there we possibly needed!!
This is not the type of place you would go if you want to be around tons of other tourists and have daily planned activities ( not resort like style ),...but if you do your research ,..which I did ,,..you can find so many awesome places to eat and activities to do. We went volcano boarding while we were there . That was a super awesome time,...then we went to tiger lagoon which was gorgeous,,.being able to speak Spanish helps but with the little I know out of the 3 of us we were able to communicate with everyone we encountered. The people we met were all so super nice,,,friendly and patient with us. We felt so safe the entire time. We did a lot of walking around,,,even into the nearby villages and everyone was so welcoming. The caretakers for the house,,..Gloria and her husband ,.are PHENOMENAL people !! We had Gloria make quite a few meals for us and we were sooooo happy with her cooking. Better than the local restaurants even !! There is no A/C in this house which is our only teeny tiny complaint but we did know it ahead of time. It was a little rough at night even with all fans on when we went to bed,,,but within a few hours we’d be pulling a sheet over so it was fine. The pool is a lifesaver to have on the back patio ! Such a comfortable living area outside and inside . Every night we saw the sunset from the yard,...not one person bothered us with the wall being so low on the beach side,..not even the dogs. There are dogs everywhere but they stay away from you unless you want them,,.they are all so friendly as well. Having no hot water was a concern of ours until we got there,,,,we would not have used it anyway! There are small stores for water jugs within walking distance,..and many super cute bar/ restaurants that are not crowded all within walking distance. This place was amazing ,..I highly recommend ,.lthe experience is literally life changing.
