Can you recommend a place to stay in San Jose?
Often, due to flight schedules, you’ll need to stay over in San Jose on your way down to, or back from our house. We often refer our client to Tico Travel (www.ticotravel.com) who specializes in travel to Costa Rica for the last 17 years and can help you plan your entire stay in Costa Rica and even offer you discount airfare.

Is the beach in front of the house ever crowded?
Never! It is a glorious spot to relax; swim in warm, tropical waters; pick up shells; play in waves; watch hermit crabs; spot whales and dolphins; gaze at pelicans; gape at sunrises; stroll under palm trees; explore tide pools. We’ve even had the thrill of seeing baby turtles hatch out there and scramble into the ocean! Ours is one of a string of beaches in the immediate area that are among the most beautiful in Costa Rica.

How far in advance should I reserve? y?
To insure you get the exact dates you want, you should book the Christmas/New Year's, Easter/Spring Break and even Thanksgiving weeks many months or even a year in advance. Other times, it is advisable to make reservations at least 3 months in advance from Christmas to August. Late August through mid-December there is usually more flexibility, but if you are locked into a schedule it is always good to reserve as far in advance as possible. However, never hesitate to inquire about availability at any time!
