Amazing Place and As Described
The House in the Heavens is as described in the listing. It is an oasis in the jungle above the ocean. The layout, the amenities, and the pool are great. There are jungle creatures. If you aren't interested in sharing your vacation with frogs, lizards, monkeys, scorpions and the biggest damn grasshoppers I've ever seen, this is not the place for you. The road is rough (but not much rougher than most of the roads). The two local beaches are great, with a fantastic surf break (and sunset) at Playa Negra. Tamarindo is a 30-45 minute drive. You cannot walk anywhere from the casa. We didn't really need Christi or Lasero for anything, but Lasero lives on-site and is very nice and helpful. One of his dogs did bark all night a couple times. Did I mention the pool and inside/outside living space is amazing? Try to arrive in daylight, if possible. There are some great restaurants around if you look closely. We stayed at the beginning of the dry season (I think) and it probably does get pretty dried out later in the season, but was perfect for us, never used the AC. I imagine the wet season is lush and wonderful.
