Lloyd

Excellent, 9 months ago

Dennis was very friendly and responsive from start to finish, with great attention to detail. He asked about our interests & activities in advance so we could plan for them. The hospitality he showed, puts him as the best host that we've worked with on AirBnB. This beautiful house 1-story house was PERFECT. My wife and I were joined by our son & daughter in law, her mom, and their almost 3 year old daughter. We took the majestic mbr/ba, son had the room with two queens, and the mom took the room that although was attached to the house has a separate entrance (very private). Beds were very comfy. All rooms face the beautifully landscaped yard/pool. The pool has tasteful tile and a fairly large shallow section (great for the toddler). The kitchen was well stocked & equipped. Dennis greeted us personally, made great recommendations and did so many considerate things (ex. wall decorations & cake for my birthday). Just a wonderful experience. Dennis embodies the Costa Rican Pura Vida.

It was such a pleasure hosting Lloyd and his wonderful family! They were kind, easygoing, and incredibly thoughtful throughout their stay. Communication with Lloyd and his son Jacob was smooth from start to finish, and they treated the place with so much care. They brought a warm, positive energy that truly makes hosting feel rewarding. Families like theirs remind me why I love doing this. I’d be more than happy to welcome them back anytime. Truly lovely guests — highly recommended

From the moment we arrived, our stay in Costa Rica was absolutely amazing. The house was stunning—spotlessly clean, beautifully designed, and incredibly peaceful. We especially loved the beautiful huge pool and the outdoor shower! Dennis was, without a doubt, the best host we've ever had. He truly went above and beyond—greeting us at the house, checking in daily to make sure we were comfortable, and even handling all of our grocery shopping before we arrived. His kindness and attentiveness made our trip completely stress-free. We highly recommend this place and can’t wait to come back!

Megan and Marc, you guys were amazing guests. It was very nice welcoming you and getting to meet you and your three beautiful daughters in person. You are truly a lovely family. I'm so glad you got to do so many things and enjoyed Costa Rica. Come back whenever you want! Pura Vida amigos!!!

I had a fantastic experience staying at Dennis place, The home was exactly as described clean, comfortable, and in a great location. Dennis was incredibly welcoming and responsive, offering helpful tips and making sure I had everything I needed throughout my stay.offering an extra night for my late check in was nice. I’d absolutely recommend this place to anyone visiting the area and would love to stay here again. Thanks for being such a great host Dennis

Hi Johana, thank you for being such an amazing guest! You took care of everything and left our home spotless. Please come back whenever you want! Pura Vida!

We had a wonderful stay! The house was spacious, beautifully decorated, and very comfortable for our family of four. It had everything we needed, and the large swimming pool was a real highlight. The location felt safe and private — perfect for relaxing — but having a car is definitely necessary, as it’s about 20 minutes from central Tamarindo. Our host was helpful and responsive. Highly recommend!

It was a true pleasure hosting Chris and her lovely family. I was able to meet and greet them upon their arrival, and I could immediately tell how nice they all were. I'm glad they had the chance to relax and have the downtime they were looking for. Coming from New York, Guanacaste was definitely a break. Thank you, Chris, for taking such good care of the house. Highly recommended guests that are welcome to come back anytime! Pura Vida! Dennis

This home is beautiful and the photos don’t do it justice. We had a great time and Dennis was an excellent host, making sure we had everything we needed. It’s just a few minutes away from beautiful beaches and a golf course, and only about 20 from Tamarindo. Highly recommend for anyone looking to relax away from the hustle and bustle of the tourist towns.

Host Response

Jeff and his family were amazing. In part, this was a family celebration and I'm happy you all had the opportunity of celebrating in beautiful Guanacaste. Feel free to come back whenever you want! Pura Vida! Dennis

Everything was excellent! Everything was better than what you see in the photos, very beautiful, spacious and clean, communication with Don Dennis was very fluid since before entering, he went out of his way to make sure our stay was excellent, very friendly, accessible, he really made us feel at home, I really appreciate his treatment, very good internet, electricity services and water never failed, very complete kitchen, very complete kitchen, beaches nearby, he would return as much as possible, he would return as many times as possible, I recommend it 100%.

Muchas gracias, Lidiette, por esas palabras tan amables. Fue un gusto tenerlos en la casa y son más que bienvenidos a regresar. ¡Cuando quieran!

We were not informed that there would be very loud construction in March 2023. The week that we stayed it was very loud- as the construction workers use chainsaws to saw cinderblocks-that the homes are constructed with- directly behind us. The new home construction is just starting - so be sure to ask if there is any construction going on. As it is located directly behind the house where the pool deck is. Every morning at 6:20 am the construction started - Monday-Friday- and lasted through the day. Also was told to not leave anything out on the deck- as a construction worker may come and steal items left out. Dennis was nice- we allowed him to stay the first night as he was there when we arrived and he had a 4 hour drive home, and with the roads as they are in the area at night, I offered him to stay in the extra room- and he did. So my kids shared a room, giving him their room. NO discount offered to atleast make up for what we had experienced due to construction noise.

Host Response

Erin, Christopher, and their twins are very nice people and I truly enjoyed meeting them. I am sorry the Sharp Family was not satisfied with their stay. I take great pride in serving my guests, as you can read in my other reviews. I decided to write this response to clarify that I acknowledged the situation and offered them compensation. Unfortunately, the construction next door disturbed their stay. As I explained to them at the time, I was unaware of the situation since I don’t live at the property and no previous guests had brought it up. I also feel it is fair to provide my perspective. Erin states her complaint – which is valid – but forgets to mention that I offered them to come back whenever they wanted, for a FULL WEEK AT NO COST to compensate the inconvenience. Yes, I have offered them a week’s stay for free to make things right. I am sorry this happened and would like to respectfully remind Erin of some of the positives. She forgot to mention that I took time to research and recommend rental car companies for her, tours and activities they could enjoy, helpful apps while in Costa Rica, the fact that I offered to do their groceries for them and had the house completely stocked when they arrived, that I stayed late to welcome them in person the day they arrived much later than expected (thank you for allowing me to stay in the separate casita that night), and of course she forgot to mention my offer for them to come back and enjoy a free week of stay. Sharp Family, thank you for the kind thank you note you left me. The offer to come back for free is on the table.

Dennis’s property was amazing and spacious. From my initial conversation with Dennis I noticed his attention to detail and willingness to go above and beyond to make this a seamless stay. Dennis was readily available any moment of the day to answer any questions we had and really made us feel right at home. His property was exactly as he described and had everything you needed and more. The bedrooms were large with beautiful bathrooms, spacious living room and a backyard with a swimming pool and roof top deck perfect for entertaining. I will definitely plan on staying at his property again. Dennis really cares about the experience he is providing and it shows. Could not have asked for a better time.

Andrew, thank you for your kind words! I am very happy you enjoyed your stay. And thank you for noticing that my goal is to provide my guests with an amazing and unforgettable experience. Thank you for chosing our home and we would be thrilled to have you back. Take care and pura vida!!!

It was great working with Dennis! He was very available and very accommodating, even when we asked for more than he bargained for. The place was gorgeous and had more than everything we needed. right down to Costa Rican coffee! I will definitely think with staying there again if I get the chance!

Host Response

Dear Benjamin, It was a pleasure meeting you and your family on such an important occasion. I wish you and Laura the best! Kind regards, Dennis

This house is AMAZING and Dennis is THE BEST host you can wish for. The house is new and decorated with exquisite taste. Modern, uncluttered, spacious, bright and clean. Kitchen has all new, "design" appliances. Bedrooms and bathrooms are spacious with 2 of the bedrooms having their own "kitchenette". Loved the living room high ceilings and huge TV. We really enjoyed the outdoor spaces. Comfortable couches and beautiful dining space, pool, barbecue, fire pit and rooftop. It is truly a dream house! Special mention to our great host Dennis who went above and beyond to make our stay enjoyable. He offered to get groceries for us prior to our arrival which was a HUGE help specially having 3 kids and given the closest supermarket is a 15 min drive. He asked in advance about kids hobbies and got them a soccer ball and pool toys, sent a cleaning lady during our stay and greeted us personally at check in and check out and was always available to answer any question. We will be back!

Lucia, I am so happy you and your lovely family enjoyed the house and had a great time. It was a pleasure meeting you and it would be a honor hosting you again. One of the best things of being a host is getting to meet people as nice as you, German and your cute kids. Take care!
