Pros:
- Ervin, the caretaker, was helpful, considerate, and did a great job taking care of the grounds.
- The grounds themselves were beautiful, and the pool/cabana space was lovely
- Easy drive to a beautiful beach (Playa El Palmar)
Cons:
- The house itself felt grimy and in need of some serious updates - the downstairs shower was janky, there was a missing lightbulb in one of the bedside lamps, there were bugs in the bedroom, and the whole place just felt like it was in serious need of a deep clean.
- Really, this property can sleep 4 people comfortably. The "futon" is really more of a bench and is in the middle of the only living space/next to the kitchen.
- The beach advertised as being in walking distance of the house isn't really a beach - it's a lovely cove, but you can't swim there.
- The road leading up to the house could use some real re-surfacing.
In all, we enjoyed San Carlos, but wish we'd been better prepared for the experience based on what we'd been promised.
