Casa naranja is a beautiful house with a couple features you don't get often in the rainforest, glass windows & AC. All the doors have screens and can be opened which creates good breezes through out the house so AC wasn't needed.
The porch is very big with very comfortable furniture. It was lovely sitting under the roof on the porch listening to the rain.
The house has a TV. We only watched football since leaving the states so it was a nice to watch a little TV a few night. Only thing not many English channels.
The kitchen is large but quirky. It is set up like a galley kitchen but has a huge table in the middle you have to keep walking around when trying to cook. The stove on one side the pots and pans and cooking utensils on the other. The designer clearly not someone who cooks.
We did cook so wonderful meals, eating them outside on the teak table on the back porch. There is a big wood burning oven as well.

The yard is all fenced in and the caretakers live in a little cottage right next door. They are lovely people however speak no English and our Spanish is lacking. It was difficult when we both needed to try to complicate information to one another.
There is a trail to the beach from the house. We walked it each day seeing lots of crabs. You could walk to beach to Manzanillo.
We like to spend the mornings at either playa Cocles watching the surfers or Manzanillo where it's been great for swimming.
Then in the afternoon Punta Uva.
The howlers were around the house most of the week. He heard them mostly, only seeing them one day. A troop of spider monkeys came through the trees. They move through first.
We enjoyed our stay here and we're very comfortable in the house.
It was good to experience being close to the beach but we prefer the canopy.
