Casa Colibri is a four-bedroom house that sleeps eight adults. There are two bedrooms with a king-size bed each, a third bedroom a queen-size bed, and a fourth bedroom with two twin beds which easiiy convert into a king-size bed. Each bedroom has its own private bathroom with shower. The master bath has a small, tiled bathtub as well.

All bedrooms have hanging fans and are air conditioned. The main palapa and the kitchen are cooled by hanging fans. There is a guest bathroom with shower in the main palapa, (or casa grande).

Casa Colibri’s casa grande is an open structure. All other rooms are walled, but two of the bedrooms are palapa structures with conical, palm-frond roofs and large, open vents at the peaks. There is an up-to-date kitchen with six-burner gas range, large double sink, refrigerator, toaster, blender, coffeemaker, microwave and full set of pots and pans, glassware, silverware, kitchen knives and linen napkins.

The master bedroom on the second floor opens onto a tiled rooftop terrace with a wet bar with sink.

Kid Safe!

Casa Colibri has its own private pool, shielded from view. As you see in the above photo, the private pool is fully — and immediately — accessible from the main living area, allowing you to keep an eye on your little ones. You do not have to worry about a steep drop-off into the sea, which is the case with most of the other houses in our tiny, walled community. [Note: The pool can be heated to 83° F. at an additional charge of $25 US per day. Propane is expensive!]

No TV’s, stereo, video games, or other electronic devices or services are provided, so you are encouraged to bring your own portable systems. Free In-house WiFi internet, via Starlink, is available: see our FAQ page.

The maid provides laundry service for personal items given to her in the morning. There is no laundry service Saturday afternoon or all day Sunday. Due to the fragility of appliances in this salt-air environment, only the maid has access to the laundry room and the washer & dryer.

WHAT IS AND ISN’T INCLUDED IN THE RENTAL

We’ll provide the house including towels, linens, dinnerware, flatware, dishes and other kitchen and dining items as commonly used by our own family when we’re living in the house. Toilet paper, soap, dish detergent, shampoo and conditioner are provided. The kid-safe private pool can be heated at your request, up to a maximum temperature of 83° F at an additional charge of $35 US per day. No reimbursement will be made for unused consumables left on the premises. No telephone, TV, stereo, video games, Internet or other electronic devices or services are provided. Like all homes, there are private areas: a locked storage room and the laundry room — Moña, our maid/cook, will launder bed linens, towels and your personal laundry on an as-needed basis.

We also will not make any refund of rental amounts due to shortened stays or ruined expectations because of weather conditions, tide conditions or the presence of insects or other jungle pests or other occurrences or conditions beyond our control. Punta El Custodio is a jungle environment. There can also be no refunds of rent because of shortened stays or ruined expectations due to a renter’s work, family emergencies or other commitments.

By renting Casa Colibri, renters indemnify and hold harmless the owners against any and all claims of personal injury or property damage or loss arising from the occupancy of Casa Colibri regardless of the nature or cause of the accident, injury or loss.

IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT BEACH ACCESS!

Punta el Custodio sits on a bluff 30 feet above the Pacific Ocean. There are two stairways on the south side of the Point, leading down to the beach, which, when the tide is high, may not be accessible (that is, it may be covered with water). During low or minus tides, a vast, safe beach is readily accessible from the two stairways, but there are other times and seasons when tides are high, when entering the ocean requires careful avoidance of submerged rocks. Children or poor swimmers are to avoid such times! A monthly tide table is provided to help you choose the best times to access the beach. If you have any questions about beach accessibility, please e-mail us.
