About this property
Entire place
You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.
Banana room
Very spacious room overlooking giant bananas and ocean. Large closets and a big bathroom. Located on our 9-acre property full of fruit trees and gardens. The night sounds will lull you to sleep, and the chirping birds will gently wake you. Enjoy waking to the ocean view in your room with a cup of coffe in hand. We offer meals, massages or horseback riding, amongst other indulgences. See you soon.
Things to remember:
- Ubers and taxis can be hard to find, make sure you plan your rides ahead of time. Having your own rental vehicle is advised.
- If you're a light sleeper, bring some earplugs.
- Mosquitoes are abundant especially during the rainy season. Bring bug spray.
- Critters and crawlies tend to sneak in even through the tiniest of holes so do not be surprised if you see one. We do not have any dangerous critters or crawlies living in the rainforest.
-Power and water outages are normal in the area especially during bad weather. We only have back-up power (solar) at the main house. We are in the process of getting more solar panels to power the entire property.
- Our dog Tootsie is a Rottweiler-Labrador mix. She's the biggest sweetheart but she can be a little mouthy sometimes. She's great with kids though! We also have plenty of cats, chickens, ducks and a turkey.
- There is a designated parking area. Make sure you leave space for other guests to park. We're in the process of renovating our parking area to accommodate more cars in the future.
- Wifi is only available in common areas.
The vacation home features a balcony and space to spread out with a separate bedroom. The vacation home also includes a sofa bed.

Scam
Liers. The photo does not match the hut where they put me, no running water inside, no bathroom but a latrin in open air. It rained and water enter the hut, that on top of that smelled like cats and hair. They should be banned for false advertising
