Here is a GPS location of Playa Lagarto itself which I took off of Google Earth. If you go there in Google Earth and look to the north where some roads go off into the hills, that is where it is

10 07.10 N 85 47.6 W

You can look around on Google Earth and see that there isn't much. There are a few restaurants and small markets but the Gasoline and banks are in Santa Cruz or Nosara

I watched the video, I'm covered with the dust from the road.  I seen your concrete construction, we went with an mgo Eco home construction as it get hot near the beach.  If you are not familiar with mgo.. it's five inches of dense styro-foam with sheets of magnesium oxide board on each side, it's like living in a cooler.  This is the video.

Thanks for the video. I am familiar with this type of construction but I would prefer SIP panels with the concrete on top. it's more stable and robust.
who supplies the mgo panel? who designed your house?

Magnesium is much stronger than concrete and can't even crack, plus it's fireproof.  You'd have to see the panels to see what I mean.  Our builder is Trevor Chillton, "he's a Canadian" who has been in Costa Rica for over a dozen years.  See this video:  - youtube.com/watch?v=_nxZFo-ICPo   If you want Trevor's contact information let me know.
