We booked this property very last minute as our original one cancelled on us the day we were supposed to check in. We were absolutely thrilled with it when we got there. The house was very well appointed with lots of space. The pool had the most spectacular sunsets. The only downfall was the road getting there which was really like one giant pothole. But if you’re in CR you come to expect it! Definitely recommend this property!
