This unique property comprises a spacious 4-bedroom main house and a private 2-bedroom guesthouse, offering ample space for up to 14 guests.
**Inside the Main House**
The main house features an open-concept ground floor encompassing the living, dining, and kitchen areas, seamlessly flowing onto the pool deck through sliding glass doors. A master suite with a king bed and en-suite bath, along with a second bedroom with two double beds and an en-suite bath, are also located on this level, offering direct access to the refreshing pool.
Ascend the external staircase to the second floor and be greeted by a spacious lanai, perfect for relaxation and al fresco dining.

"House Rules"
1. A signed and fully completed rental agreement (with names and ages) with photo ID is required within 24 hours of booking. Person signing and staying must be at least 25 yrs old. No unregistered guest (must be on rental agreement) at any time.
2. $500 Security Deposit Hold is required. A $37 one-time Admin fee is included with all bookings. Quiet hrs. strictly enforced from 8pm-6am.
3. Guests are responsible for locking all doors/windows in the villa when they are absent - safeguarding its contents, including guests' personal items.
4. I understand that because Costa Rica is a developing nation and can have torrential rainstorms during rainy season, sometimes you will lose power. This is not unusual. Although it does not happen often, when it does it could be a few minutes or a couple of hours. Do not be alarmed. There are emergency flashlights around the house for your use, and you can contact your concierge if you have any questions. No refunds are given for acts of God.
5. I understand that the home is open air except for the bedrooms which have AC. The AC is fitted for the bedrooms only so the bedroom doors should never be left open. Additionally, the AC should not be left running while no one is in the room.
6. Third party travel insurance is required to cover any cancellations outside of our cancellation policy.
7. No pets, smoking, loud music, commercial photography, parties or events
8. Before you arrive, you will be asked to complete guest verification through third-party provider Truvi. This is done to ensure we are keeping up to date with short-term rental regulations as well as providing both our guests and our properties with extra protection. Truvi will contact you via email and/or text to complete the verification. Please do so prior to arriving at the property to enable a quick and easy check-in process.
Important Notice About Local Wildlife and Insects
Our property is located in a natural setting, which means guests may encounter insects (such as ants, mosquitoes, or spiders) and possibly wildlife (including snakes, lizards, or other native animals). We take precautions to minimize such encounters, but interactions with local flora and fauna are part of the experience.
