Very good

Good. The house was nice and had lots of room. Liked the soo called country setting. The river behind the house was nice. There was no blender or toaster. The biggest dislike was it was longer to get to see things.

Thank you for your visit - it was a pleasure having you! I am glad I was able to provide a blender and toaster the next day after your request. Casita Kibbie is located near local Hot Springs and about 20 miles from Arenal Volcano, in an area optimal for hiking, water rafting, horseback riding, ATV’s and much more. We are 5 miles from our local supermarkets and about 15 miles from Walmart. I really apologize for the technical error you encountered in regards to the location when you booked – VRBO incorrectly setup the listing and initially put our location in the middle of Alajuela center. VRBO corrected this, and the property now shows as expected. I wish I could have had the opportunity to guide you better - should you decide to visit again, we have a local driver and tour guides as well as local cooks that can deliver food to your doorstep. Regardless I really hope you enjoyed your stay and I hope to have the opportunity to host you again in the future. Thanks for staying with us - Casita Kibbie's Team.
