The house can accommodate up to eight people and welcomes both national and international visitors who want to get to know the local culture, enjoy the nearby beaches, and connect with the community.

We are looking for volunteers with a positive attitude, responsibility, and willingness to collaborate in tasks related to guest care, general cleaning, basic maintenance, gardening, space organization, and support on social media or tourism promotion, according to each person's skills.

In exchange for your help, we offer comfortable accommodation, access to the property's common areas, a family-friendly environment, and the opportunity to live a unique experience in the region. We enjoy sharing recommendations about local attractions, outdoor activities, and Costa Rican culture so that our volunteers make the most of their stay.
