Guest access
Entire house plus amenities is included in this rental. Please, make yourself at home. I am here for you during your stay, but our level of interaction is up to you. I’m only a phone call or message away. You will be able to self-check in upon arrival, with keycode entry.

There is no access to a washer or dryer at The Blue House. The machines are strictly for washing the house linen. Please pack accordingly.

Please note our gardens are expansive and we take pride in keeping them tidy and beautiful. Gardener Gerardo works in the garden every Monday from 10am until 3pm. He's very friendly, please say 'Buenos dias / Buenas tardes'.

Other things to note
The color of the river varies depending on rainfall in the area. The river is best for ‘sitting and soaking’ NOT swimming. The river is best for children aged 4+ and is not suitable for pregnant women or those with mobility issues.

"Our kids are 4, 6, and 9 years old and LOVED exploring and swimming in the river!! Great little spots for swimming, sitting, and climbing. When exploring it was nice having water shoes."

Please remember that you are staying in a house, not a hotel. Please treat the space with respect. If any problems arise, we will do our best to take action ASAP, but there is no one living on site 24/7. There is no access to a washing machine or dryer, please pack accordingly.
