"Getting to the property was a little confusing as a foreigner. Eventually I found it & everything was good. Communication with the host was good. Any issues that occurred I was able to inform the host & it was handled promptly. I understand it being in the jungle & or nature habitat so there was naturally bugs & pests, scared me a little but it was fine. I really enjoyed the home it was beautiful!"

"Our trip was phenomenal. The staff at You Get Here were all so helpful. They supported us with transportation to and from SJO, rental cars, private chefs, in home massage, and groceries. We had 13 people, (3 under 10, 2 teenagers, and 8 adults). The home had ample space for us. Everything about this experience was absolutely the best. I’ve never experienced such a seamless vacation - and it’s crazy to say that about an international trip. The area was lovely. It is very sleepy but we had plenty to do and see. We are all trying to figure out how soon we can go back. I would recommend this stay and Stephen as a host to anyone."
