The space
The casita suite is at the back of the house on the ground floor. There are two steps to from the street to the lobby and then two steps to the 'sunken kitchen' if access is an issue.

Guests use the main entrance and reception gallery to the house, but you have a private locked gate to your casita's exterior courtyard. From the semi-covered 'gazebo' courtyard, you enter your bedroom/ensuite private bath on one side and your ’sunken kitchen’ with a sit-up bar/counter on the other.

The bedroom has a king size bed, Roku TV, Wi-Fi, air conditioning, ceiling fan and closet area with robes and iron/board. The ensuite private bathroom has a sink, toilet and shower (no bathtub). King bed has Brooklinen sheets. Bathroom has towels and body wash, shampoo, etc.

The casita has a semi-open "sunken" kitchen (sink, gas stove (no oven), full refrigerator/freezer, microwave, coffee makers (Mr. Coffee, French Press, Nespresso and traditional stove-top moka espresso maker), electric kettle, blender, toaster, rice maker/steamer, air fryer/toaster oven).

NOTE: The casita suite does not have an enclosed 'living area'. The bedroom and kitchen open to a private courtyard with 'gazebo-style' covering that keeps light rain away and provides shade during the day. However, when it rains heavily, the courtyard does get wet - so you may get wet going from the bedroom to the kitchen. You should not leave computers, papers or anything in the courtyard that may get wet, since we can have short showers anytime in the tropics. (See photos for reference).

NATURE ALERT: The house has a very open design that encourages open doors and windows. There may be small lizards in the courtyard (we like them - they're cute and they eat mosquitoes).

Small birds and hummingbirds are common. If you're lucky, you'll hear a 'coqui' tree frog singing outside your gate til about midnight.

Mosquitoes blow in when the wind comes from the lagoons during rainy weather (we provide spay and have screens on the bedroom doors/windows) and the fan in the kitchen usually keeps them away.

We also have rather large 'palmetto bugs' that look like roaches and only live outdoors - these are common all over the island, even in resorts, so if you freak out at bugs, be warned. They only come out from the gardens on certain nights and local lore claims that the males expire after mating. They do not live indoors, they love gardens - so if they do find their way near you it is usually by accident.

Finally - we have a phenomena here in PR called 'Sahara Dust' or 'Bruma' - where sand from the African desert blows across the Atlantic Ocean and lands in PR. This is not pollution - but can cloud the sky and leave lots of gritty dust on the floors. Locals walk around the house in socks to keep it from sticking to feet - but its easy to clean up with the swiffers we provide in each unit.

Guest access
All guests enter the house through the same gate and front door. Please make sure to always double-check the front door and the front gate by pulling it with your hand to make sure that it is securely locked.

You'll enter the lobby and have access to beach towels/chairs, suntan lotions, yoga mats, bug stuff, umbrellas, tourist info/guides and our coffee/tea bar.

Follow the garden passage to the right and you'll find your courtyard gate.

Other things to note
There is optical fiber WiFi throughout the house and each unit has ROKU or Smart TV.
We provide Netflix access.
If you have traditional cable at your home - bring your user name/password and you can access channels from your home cable provider. You can log-in to Amazon Prime, Sling TV, Hulu or other subscription channels with your id and password.

A note on our 'open design': Although 99% of our guests love the 'indoor/outdoor' living, there can be some urban noises from the streets and occasional classical music from the dance school behind the casita.
