We loved our stay! The rooms were all beautiful and we had plenty of space! The house was an easy drive from several beaches and lots of great restaurants. We loved the beautiful birds who visited everyday and even saw some monkeys on a tree across the street from the house one morning. Thank you for sharing this beautiful home!

Our family absolutely loved our stay. Fantastic pool, sunbathing area, outdoor grill, and a fully stocked kitchen. Rooms were large and well-appointed with incredible views, particularly from the second-floor master, which may be the biggest bedroom I’ve ever seen. Breakfast outside was a daily highlight with visits from spider monkeys, an iguana, and tropical birds. The white-throated magpie jays showed up like clockwork. The property is in a gated, secured neighborhood just SE of Playa Hermosa. Driveways are very steep by US standards (12-21 degrees) but safe and manageable. Walking to the beach isn’t really practical given the grade and heat. We tried it once and the uphill return was tough. That said, it’s an easy 5-minute drive with free parking. Playa del Coco is 5 minutes away with more restaurants and larger grocery stores (MegaSuper, Auto Mercado). The property manager was also very responsive and easy to work with. We hope to come back!

Property management company does all the work and contact. They are very responsive. Check in was delayed, as the property management guy was late, when we'd been texting about our arrival. Other than that, the property management company was very responsive and SUPER helpful. Property location was great--but you should get a car. Too steep (like whoa steep!) to walk. Only 1 km to the mini mart and some great food options. View is gorgeous. Guess should know that there is virtually NO sun on the pool at any time. That was disappointing, but not the host's fault. I would have wanted to know that when booking. Did have toilet clogging issues 2x during 6 nights, but maintenance did fix quickly.

Beautiful and especially spacious villa! We were 13 guests including 5 children and everyone was happy. For our first stop in Costa Rica after the flight, we wanted accommodation not too far from the airport. It also allowed us to be close to Rincon de la Vieja Park and La Leona Falls (55-70 min). The Zindis Group housing management company was super welcoming and caring. Alex Bustos recommended Playa Buena, a 7-minute drive away: we fell in love with this beautiful beach with soft sand, clear water and no tourists, only locals.

Our family had a great time at the house. It was a good location and with rental cars you can get to many good beaches within few minutes. The property management were very helpful and responsive. They provided groceries at a reasonable cost to get us started without going to grocery store on arrival. The house was clean and comfortable. Renting cars are a must, too steep and far for us to walk to places. Thanks again for our enjoyable stay.
