Casita Dulce - 3 min from beach

Met our needs Property was as advertised. It was nice to have an ensuite off the bedroom, and AC in the bedroom was fantastic. The second bathroom on the main floor was huge. Both showers worked but the water was not hot, so showers were always refreshing😅. Water had to be heated in a kettle for washing dishes. The bed and pillows were ok. Bed was hard for our liking, but bedding firmness is personal. Our host was easy to get a hold of and responded very quickly. The pool was great and was cleaned and treated regularly. The closest beach is a short walk away, but that beach is not ideal (river outlet and is soft and muddy bottom with potential for crocodiles) . There is a much better beach in Puerto Jimenez (PJ) that is a short drive or a 20 minute walk. We loved the location as traffic noise was minimal and we didn't mind walking to town for groceries and things. If that's not what you like, it's easy to rent a car in PJ. They will even come pick you up at the Casita and bring you to the office. It was nice having access to laundry machines and they worked fine. There was a drier, but we always just hung the laundry on the line to dry. We were able to get fresh lemons and oranges from trees on the property. That was really great when a relative of Jenny came and picked oranges for us😋. So, in summary, the Casita met our needs. Hot water was missed, but we survived. The fridge and freezer worked. The stove burners worked, as did the toaster oven. AC was great.
