This is an experience that you likely haven't had before...You are in an open-air home with only curtains between you and nature. Lots of room, one inside toilet upstairs. You'll share the house with crabs, lizards, spiders, and more. You'll hear howler monkeys and macaws at 5 AM and the cicadas at night, but surprisingly, not as loud as we expected. If you are there for a thunderstorm, it is amazing with the rain pounding down around you, while you stay nice and dry inside. Unfortunately, we didn't see anything other than hummingbirds, a coati, and lizards at the house. When we walked up the dirt road, we were able to see howler monkeys and white-faced monkeys, but we had hoped they would be on site. We did follow the sounds of a group of macaws while on site to an almond tree where they were feasting. The pool is refreshing as it was hot - 93 most days. The beach is rocky and not for sunbathing or easy to get down to. Surfing a 20 minute walk down the road at the official beach looked great - really long runs, but still rocky, so not a typical beach. Oscar was amazing. Arranged a night hike for us and we saw spider monkeys, tarantulas, cockroaches, snakes, frogs, scorpions, and more. Martina's, the restaurant, is good. You won't want to leave once you are at the house. It takes 30 minutes to get from town down a VERY rocky and bumpy road. With a large 4-wheel drive, we blew out a tire and saw others experience the same fate. Thanks, Oscar and John for everything!
