You won't find a more beautiful property in Carate

The Casita is well-equipped with whatever you would need for a visit down to Carate. You might see more wildlife from this Casita than you would visiting Corcovado. There was a hummingbird nest steps from the house and Tapir prints all around the back door. Perfect for a couple or a small family. We had an issue with the electricity and Brandon was quick and responsive and more than fixed our problem- I am sure further upgrades will take place before this property is rented again to fix any lingering electricity issues. Beto and Yolanda are angels, they embody local values of hospitality and friendliness. You won't find better people! Book it!

Monkey house

Beto, the groundskeeper, was wonderful! Full of information and helpful. Loved his sweet little dog, Miraposa (Butterfly), even though I'm usually a cat person. Short walk to beach. Remember, this is glamping. It was easy to adjust to using the solar electricity as we have an RV and it's same idea. Bring a flashlight. It was hard to find property. Need a better sign. Also, the Casitas Mono needs an overhead fan. Need one more solar panel if you put that in.
