The house sleeps 6, and 8 with the cabin next to it (+$800 a month). In low season a second cabin may be free, to host up to ten people. When you ask for your dates, you can also request a crib or a travel cot.
Wildlife and fruit, right in the garden
Scarlet macaws, toucans, sloths, monkeys, iguanas and dolphins live around the house. The garden gives bananas, papayas, limes and water apples, and the owners share them with guests. For children, it is a daily nature lesson.
The owners can also help you organise visits to Corcovado National Park, about 40 minutes away, or anywhere in Costa Rica.
