A recent guest wrote: "Without Chloe we would have most likely fumbled across Costa Rica trying to make group decisions on activities... Chloe connected with us on Day 1 and got us all together to get a feel for what we wanted to experience.... She contacted all the purveyors and booked the experiences...at a discounted rates! She sent us directions and itineraries for each day.. Every single experience she booked exceeded everyone's expectations! We would have never found the places she sent us to on our own. She even squeezed a surf lesson for us with her husband, Daniel.” Chris W. , February 2019. Looking forward to WELCOMING YOU IN YOUR COSTA RICA VACATION HOME!
