Not as pictured!
This rental was very small-the sitting room has just a loveseat and was not pictured in the VRBO listing. The patio/pool/garden area were lovely, with a grill and plenty of seating. The kitchen had no seasonings, not even salt. Had to make eggs with a ladle as there were no spatulas. A drawer in kitchen does not close and you bang your knees while cooking.The neighbors threw a huge party on Dec 29th that went until after 1am, complete with a very loud band. This is not something the rental owner can control. However it was very inconvenient for us as we had to wake up at 6am for a hanging bridges tour the next day and we all got very little sleep.Dec 29th there was a massive amount of rain. It was very loud and some water actually seeped through the cracks in the cabin wall so there were small puddles in the bedroom when we woke up. After our tour where we got cold and completely soaked, came back to this rental to take warm showers and had no hot water, not even warm water.That’s when we decided to pack up, clean the rental, and check out 2 days early and find a different place to stay. We are no strangers to camping/don’t expect perfection from rentals but we were charged more nightly than our other two VRBO rentals in Costa Rica and they were larger, in better locations, with well stocked kitchens. On top of this, I never heard back from the owner when I contacted him about the issues.
