We really enjoyed our stay at Casa Sarita. We travelled to Costa Rica with family from the United States. We had five adults and five kids in our group. The house is really unique and has most of the comforts of home while definitely feeling like you’re in Costa Rica. The house is located within walking distance to a small grocery store, a few restaurants, and souvenir shops. However, you need to be prepared to walk up and down steep hills because you’re in the mountains. You’re also in the jungle and we saw wildlife every single day, including white faced monkeys, squirrel monkeys, sloths, macaws, toucans.
Here is the bedroom/ bathroom situation:
- The first floor has a bedroom with a king sized bed and an en suite bathroom. There is also a second full bathroom on this floor along with a large living space, dining area, and kitchen.
- The second floor has three bedrooms. There is a bedroom with a king sized bed and then two more bedrooms that connect to each other with French doors. One of connecting bedrooms has a king bed and the other has a full. The connecting bedrooms also connect to the house’s third bathroom. There is also a small living room area on the second floor.
- The third floor has one bedroom with a king bed. This floor is accessible from inside the house and outside the house. Also, there is no bathroom on this floor. There is a really cool patio on this floor though.
All of the rooms have separate ac units. The couch in the first floor living room is huge and has enough space to sleep two large adults (if no one in your party wants to sleep in the third floor room). The house also has a good septic system and hot water heater. The kitchen contains a full sized refrigerator, 4 burner stove/oven, dishwasher, and microwave. The hot water heater works well. There is no washer/dryer but the housekeeping service will wash your clothes for you if you want.
Prior to your arrival, the property manager will communicate with you and help you make any reservations/arrangements. They are extremely helpful. Upon your arrival, a property manager will meet you at the house (ours was Jorge and he was AWESOME). He was just a text message away. He helped us make arrangements for things that we didn’t reserve in advance. Lastly, unless you’re experienced with Costa Rican roads, do not rent a car. There are tons of taxi drivers in the area and the roads are difficult to navigate.
