We did not meet Keylor....would have been great to go through things upon arrival. Landscaping and pool are amazing. Inside is very nice but some details could use attention. Numerous burnt out lights, chairs zip tied together and a light switch in the master bath that didn't work. Ants were always around but with the location I don't think there's anything you could do. Bring ear plugs....the toads at night are really loud. That being said we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Close to some local groceries and restaurants and the drive into la fortuna is not bad. The surrounding area was great for low key wildlife and was a good spot for some local excursions. Hard review to write .......really enjoyed our stay and it was our first trip to Costa Rica so didn't really have a comparison.

We spent a week at this property and it was great for our family! The outdoor space was truly an oasis of tropical plants attracting all sorts of birds, lizards, and insects. The adjacent pond was home to ducks, geese and peacocks, a constant source of entertainment for our kids. The pool was great and very refreshing. After reading the reviews we were prepared to use the clothes line to dry clothes and brought our own laundry detergent. We didn't cook anything fancy but found the kitchen sufficient. There was minimal storage for clothes in the bedrooms. We loved the neighborhood and walked into Chachagua where there is a little paneria, fruteria, carneceria, several supers (little markets), several sodas/restaurants and a little ice cream counter. It was very easy to get to La Fortuna for zip lining, river rafting, horseback riding and hotsprings.

This is a lovely yard! The house is quite nice. We didn’t like the ?water flowing out of a pipe by the driveway. It smelled like sewage but otherwise, everything was pretty good.

The property was very nice but also very noisy. The house behind us was a VRBO and a couple of nights the music was super loud and lasted until 3am. A call to Keylor improved the situation. We were a group of two couples in our sixties. We spent a lot of time on the property and used the outdoor areas extensively. There is a serious lack of lighting in the bedrooms and one bathroom. In one bedroom three of the four can lights had no bulbs and the one bulb burned out during our visit. I sent a text message but the light was not replaced. No extra trash bags were available for trash or bathroom or recycling The lack of amenities in the kitchen was a disappointment. Great refrigerator, oven and cooktop but no cooking supplies, no salt or pepper, no dish towels, no hot pads and the untensils were not nice at all. Pans were in poor shape. We purchased an electric skillet and left it there because the surface of the non stick pans and skillet were in such poor shape. The island seats four people. Good for us but bad for the capacity of this rental. Two of the chairs were broken and wobbly. One other disappointment was the lack of a cloths dryer. I specifically inquired as to the availability of a washer and dryer and was told this unit had both. The "dryer" consisted of cloths lines in the carport. Some of us had been traveling for three weeks so the washer and dryer were important to us. Over all we had a great time but this property needs some TLC. Bathroom faucet is very loose, toilet tank lid was broken and glued together. Hot tub ran out of chlorine twice necessitating draining and refilling one time. This would have been a great property for a couple of days but since we were there for 12 days the lack of closets and drawers to store our clothing meant living out of the suitcases. We love Costa Rica and the people. I am sure we will be back for a fifth trip next year.
