                    Beautiful home up in the hills. Very well maintained and clean. Close to town but far enough to feel secluded. We had Howler monkeys visit daily through the trees surrounding the property. Such a great place. Recommended it to everyone and would like to visit again next year. loved it!

                    Recommended for: Adventure seekers, pet owners, romantic getaway, girls getaway, sightseeing.

                    Beautiful home in the mountains. Amazing views with pool and hot tub to enjoy them from. Kitchen stocked with most things you'll need. We had a wonderful time in the 2 weeks we stayed there. Easy access and not too far from shopping.

                    Beautiful home only 3 years old all furniture looks brand new. Awesome views on the mountains and sunsets are unforgetable! Swim up bar at pool is like being at a luxury hotel but you always can find a seat! Great hiking/ walking trails surround the property. Hosreback riding directly acroos the street very friendly folks. Monkey park within walking distance that is a refuge for animals, but has many exotic species. Zip line is within 2 miles very safe & the staff is very fun and friendly!! PURA VIDA!!!

                    Recommended for: Adventure seekers, age 55+, romantic getaway, families with teenagers, families with young children, sightseeing.
