The home was very clean upon arrival. That said, there were several holes in the window/door screens, which allowed bugs, spiders, and beetles to enter and accumulate over the course of our 4-day stay. The pool deck also had some lizard droppings when we arrived, which could benefit from a more thorough pre-arrival cleaning.The property is located in a quieter, more remote area, about a 10-minute drive from the main part of Manuel Antonio and sits at the top of a very steep hill (roughly the length of a football field). Having a car is definitely necessary to access the home comfortably.The listing does note that there is no air conditioning, but we still found the home to be very hot. Even with multiple fans running in the bedrooms and main living area, we were not able to cool down. Keeping the doors open for airflow wasn’t always feasible due to the lack of screens and the presence of insects and wildlife around the property. There were also a couple of power outages during our stay, though these appeared to be area-related rather than specific to the home.On a positive note, the surrounding wildlife was a highlight! Seeing iguanas, monkeys, toucans, and macaws right near the house was a really special experience. The pool was also a great feature and helped make the heat more manageable.The property managers were very each to communicate with and accommodating when we had to leave our bags for a couple of hours.
