Misrepresented listing
I have come to Costa Rica many times, including Puerto Viejo and I paid to stay in this house for 36 days with my son, and left after 6. I am aware of the bugs and environment there. The listing clearly states "fully screened in windows and doors" and this is NOT accurate. There are large unscreened gaps under the windows, between the windows, between the roof and the screens, between the floor and the walls and holes in some screens. This allows many types of bugs and critters to enter, which is exactly what happened. There were two wasp nests on the porch and the wasps kept entering (one of us is allergic), the owner said "bug spray is available" but I requested she come over to spray them, they kept coming back. We had many cockroaches in the bathroom and kitchen and one fell in my hair! A large grasshopper in the shower, a large spider in the bathroom and twice a lizard fell on me while I was in bed sleeping. On top of all the bugs, the first night we arrived, was a massive rain storm which then leaked over our bed and into the kitchen, the owner did eradicate the leaks the following day but the home was so humid our sheets never dried and I was only offered clean sheets when I requested them. As far as the beach being a 2 min walk, that is also not accurate. The beach is about a 10 min walk down a long dirt road. The owner refused to refund me when I informed her we were leaving early due to our safety and the amount of bugs. Don't stay here unless you plan on camping.
