Great property! We just returned from a week long stay. The location is great, close to town but just far enough to have amazing wildlife visit the house! The street is safe and paved, there is an elementary school on the corner, 2 small Eco resorts and private houses on the street. Traffic is minimal. The views of the Arenal Volcano from the driveway are amazing! Speaking of wildlife, the backyard has a small river and then nothing but acres and acres of natural rain forest. Duing our stay we had Tucans and McCaws in the yard, Iguanas, Aguti's, flocks of parakets, birds in every color of the rainbow and we even saw a small Caimen (alligator) sun bathing on the island in the pond! We didn't see any Monkeys but on a few nights sitting outside listening to the rhythm of the jungle we could hear them in the distance. We visited the week of March 2nd and the bugs we not an issue at all, we sat outside at night and there were zero nuisance bugs, no mosquitos, none! We couldn't believe it, especially being from Minnesota we thought the bugs would carry us away at night. During our stay we visited the beach town of Samara and surfed, visted Rio Celeste, Monteverde Rain Forest, the La Fortuna Waterfall and the Mistico Hanging bridges park! The facilities at the La Frotuna Waterfall and at Mistico Hanging Bridges were fantastic! If you can go do so. We had a great time in Costa Rica and the location of the house made it that much better. A. Hill & Family - Minnestoa
