“Don't expect glamour expect a real genuine costa rican experience”
+Look this is as rustic as it gets. Don't expect glamour - it's a basic apartment right on the seas edge. Its a cold water tap shower with basic cooking facilities but that adds to its authenticity. No ac but fans in bedrooms. The hosts are genuine & want you to fall in love with the area as much as they do. We loved it. The whale watching trip with the neighbours was just brilliant as was the trip into the national park - car & walk organised by tour operator 5 minutes from property Great stay & yes we feel in love with it x

“Most relaxing place in middle of pure nature”
+Carlos and Michelle were great hosts! Michelle is very responsive, she replies to booking.com messages not just within hours, but sometimes within minutes. She offered to do laundry for me after I came back from a 2-day/1-night Corcovado tour, and I had my clean & dry laundry back 2 hours later. Carlos picked me up from the PJM airstrip (also here, excellent communication with Michelle as my domestic flight was delayed by an hour), then gave me a tour through the town pointing out the most relevant places and even stopping at the Corcovado tour agency where I had booked so I could check in (~12 hours before tour start) while Carlos waited in his car - he also brought me to PJM airstrip after my stay. They both came to my patio one late morning and handed me a fresh mango which I peeled and ate right away, one of the best I’ve ever had. Carlos borrowed me his umbrella two evenings, so I could walk to the town in the rain. From my patio (where I’ve spent most of my time awake), I’ve seen: macaws, toucans, hummingbirds, pelicans, frigate birds, cormorants, vultures, iguanas, crabs, dolphins. And every morning the howler monkeys were my “alarm clock”. I’ve not used the kitchen but it i

“Highly memorable because of the setting and wildlife, and the hosts’ concern for our enjoyment.”
+The local setting and wildlife are wonderful.
−Facilities in the room are a bit basic, and fans that have a low setting would be useful.

“Great stay, good location close to Corcovado”
+Very friendly owners, warm welcome , location right on the beach and close to restaurants. We saw a few monkeys right on the property, and a crocodile nearby (thanks to the owner showing it to us!) Great stay before going to Corcovado, the owner dropped us off in the early morning at the meeting place for the Corcovado tour. No problem to leave the car while we were at Corcovado for the night. The beach towel was provided by request.
−We felt a bit chilly after the first night, and asked the owners for the warmer blanket for the 2nd night. Otherwise only a bed sheet was there , no blanket. Cold water shower but it is typical for the location. This is not a luxury accommodation but it serves the purpose , we enjoyed our stay.

“Perfect spot on the sea near the city center”
+The location of this property near the center of Puerto Jiminez and on the ocean with a view of the sea and the boats was perfect. Coffee on the porch with the fresh air was so relaxing. Accommodations were comfortable and spotless, with everything we needed to enjoy our stay. We booked last minute but I would book again in a heartbeat. The owners were very nice and greeted us promptly upon our arrival to answer any questions and explain the layout. The property is adjacent to a business for kayak rentals, which we did not use this time but have in the past, and that would be very convenient for travelers visiting who also want a kayak adventure. We were a couple, but the accommodations would be sufficient for a small family or group.
