This property was everything we could have asked for as a family. It was in a great location!!! The pool was great! Refreshing…. House was spectacular as well. Complimented a great trip!
We have a wonderful time staying in this beautiful home. It was even better than it looked in the photos, with a great location and short driving distance to beautiful beaches, great restaurants, bars, etc. Highly recommend staying here and would go back in a minute! Great communication with the property manager as well.
This house is just as shown in the pictures. The view, pool and bedrooms were the best. Each room had its own en-suite. Well stocked kitchen. My only complaint would we got to the house at night and there were no lights and the key is located in a very dark area. Loved this place and we will return!
This house was exactly as described and as seen on the pictures. The hosts were helpful and communicated with us perfectly! Check-in and check-out were a breeze. THE VIEW OF PLAYA FLAMINGO IS AMAZING!! The pool was perfect and the beach with restaurants was within walking distance. The property is in a gated community which felt safe and secure. Plenty of room and a great kitchen. We would definitely stay here again!

Wonderful Vacation!
This was our first time to Costa Rica and this house was perfect for our family. Each kid got a bedroom and bath to themselves. The family room and kitchen area were a perfect hang out spot. Kitchen was well stocked! The pool was the best and we spent many warm evenings having a swim. Close to Playa Flamigo beach and plenty of places to eat and shop. A short drive to Tamarindo or the Congo Trail for ATV or zip lining. Highly recommend this home and would stay again.
The property is exactly what it looks like on the pictures and one of the main reasons we booked this was for the view and it did not disappoint! The house had pretty much everything you needed and the pool was great. A couple notes is the amount of bugs in and around the house outside. I totally understand. We are in a tropical area, many daddy long legs inside the house. Which I honestly didn’t mind until I found them in the bed boards. Ants did make their way into the house which again is not huge deal but I’m sure to someone. It would be a big deal.. other than that the house was clean and well kept!! I wouldn’t mind staying here again and I do recommend it. It’s right next to a cute little Italian spot and convenient store which is so nice to have an option so you can cook at the house. Liquor store is also connected to the convenience store, which is obviously nice!

Amazing view and comfort
House was gorgeous and very clean when we arrived. Furniture and all the kitchen supplies were brand new. The view is spectacular, the A/Cs all worked very well. It was SO nice to have a separate full bathroom in every room. Rare for this price point. Lots of large ants on ground level but I’m not saying this as anything negative towards the house, this is just a warning for any that have never been to Costa Rica or anywhere tropical. There WILL be bugs no matter how clean and new the house is. The great thing is that Andrey the manager was very responsive when we advised of that and that the dryer never worked properly. He sent maintenance the following day to spray and change a fuse. Unfortunately the dryer issue was never resolved but we did what we could. (It would only stay on a few minutes at a time and then we’d have to keep flipping the breaker to get it started again.) He offered compensation for the inconvenience which I have not received yet, but the house itself is still amazing and if given the chance. I’d stay again.
We loved our stay. The house was perfect. It was comfortable and the kitchen was well-stocked. It was close to several beaches and restaurants. We enjoyed the pool area in the afternoons. The gardens and view is spectacular! We would definitely stay here again.

This house is showing wear and tear from renters and it needs a thorough cleaning. We notified Vacessa who manages the property about several things on our second day. We rented for 3 weeks and none of the issues were addressed, broken wicker chairs on the patio, no toaster, master bath ceiling fan not functioning and air conditioner in the living room smelled so bad we couldn’t use it. Pool was great to have and house is roomy. Kitchen is well stocked. There are no counter stools as shown in the pictures.

Disliked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication
We had no hot water nor any effort to correct the problem for our entire 6 day stay. The property manager Adres did not respond to any texts or message requests left with the VACASA customer relations department although we were told he would be contacting us after each call.The only resolution offered upon our return was a 25% discount, an insult in our opinion, after 7 days of cold showers and washing our dishes by hand. For a broken hot water heater not be identified prior to our arrival is both unacceptable and quite frankly not believable. I would never book thru VACASA again, nor should you.
The home and view are beautiful. That is where the good review ends. The pool had white floating grime in it (along with other debris) there was large amount of poop and pee on the pool deck. The upstairs shower bathroom fan did not work, the hot water in that shower was not working well. There was black long hairs in one of the downstairs bathrooms stuck to the side of the shower wall and toilet. There are no washcloths. And bring a sound machine because the birds sit and chirp all night. Also a random cat kept trying to get into the house. Oh and if you are allergic to down, bring your own pillows. It is located in a great spot though and the grocery at the beginning of the neighborhood is the best around. I reached out everyday that we were there asking for the pool to be cleaned and they kept telling me they would send someone. They never did and we never got to access the pool, which was one of the reasons we picked this unit. Overall we WAY overpaid for our experience. Would not recommend.

Una propiedad excelente, con una infraestructura excepcional, las vistas del océano son espectaculares. Las habitaciones del alojamiento son amplias y cómodas, la cocina extensa y bien equipada. Muy apropiada y acogedora para unas vacaciones en familia. El único aspecto a mejorar es la necesidad de subir numerosas gradas, con una pronunciad inclinación, mucha altura entre una y otra grada y sin barandales que permitan sujetarse. Esto es especialmente difícil para personas adultas mayores. Siendo esta la entrada principal a la casa, debe acondicionarse de tal manera que se facilite el acceso y se evite algún accidente. Lo demás es fenomenal.
