The host has set things up wonderfully for folks to use the grounds before check-in and after check-out, by making available an exterior bathroom, shower, and storage for luggage, along with outdoor seating overlooking the bay. The host lives on site and it was a pleasure talking with him as he shared about his experience on the island and his efforts with his house and landscaping. He also assisted with connecting me with the neighbor who hosts hummingbirds at his feeder. Simple but effective studio, great view of the bay. (Highly recommend getting a golf cart or rental; taxis and walking were effective but brought anxiety, lost time, and expense.)(Highly recommend a long day tour on Culebrita.)[Highly recommend snorkeling at Tamarindo (for turtles straight out (saw 8)) and some coral to the north), Tamarindo Grande (snorkeling), and Rosario (snorkeling and quiet...favorable wave/wind dependant).]
