This is such a beautiful place! We especially loved the incredible view and the private beach - you couldn't find a more perfect place to swim and enjoy the Costa Rican coast!

This home sits high on a cliff in Playa Flamingo. It has an amazing view and was very spacious and comfortable. It was a perfect location for our party of 10, all of whom were adults who like their privacy & peace & quiet. Jean-Francois was very easy to reach. I would not recommend this house for parties with young children. There are lots of tiled steps with limited railings. The steps are glazed terra cotta & very slippery when wet. The pool is a wading pool - about 4ft deep. Ana and Juan are awesome and onsite and, unless you tell them otherwise, are inside the house daily cleaning by 7:30AM. Important to communicate your preferences about this upfront. The house is about .5 mile walk into town which is downhill. Parking in town was easy to find. There are lots of great restaurants in town.

Beautiful views. The private beach is shared by 3-4 other homes and is accessible by a long set of steps, which are very steep in places. We loved having dinner overlooking the ocean every night.

Can’t recommend this place enough. The house was perfect for two families (five kids total). It’s comfortable, clean and a beautiful place. Juan and Ana were great making sure we had everything we needed. Both the view and the private beach really set this place a part as something that we will definitely look forward to returning to.

The location was Great in so many ways. We spent hours on end sitting on the veranda and looking out onto the bay, with a nice breeze keeping us temperate. Super relaxing! I wish we could see the sunset from that spot - but fortunately, it was only a 5 minute walk (up hill) to a point where the sunsets were amazing. Well worth it. The spot was also convenient to the "town" - and we enjoyed the walk (down/up a steep hill) each day to the convenience store, taqueria and several restaurants and Monday "night market". It would have also been the same walk to go to the Playa Flamingo beach (which we didn't end up doing). We used the "private" beach most days - and walked down. At low tide it was fantastic, and you could even snorkle into some little caves. Unfortunately, when we were there the "red tide" was in most days, making the water unswimmable (and unattractive) - and it was quite windy (typical for the time of year) which made the waves very rough (bad for snorkeling) , the water temperatures quite cool, and sitting on the beach undoable b/c the sand was whipping into our faces. I think we just caught a couple of bad weather days from that perspective - on good weather/tide days, it would be truly amazing and we would have spent hours on end (especially the kids) down there. We did drive to a local beach one day (Playa Conchal - parking in Brasalita and walking across the Brasalita beach) and that was beautiful (although a little touristy). The caretakers - Ana and Juan - were very kind and helpful (speaking spanish would be very helpful to communicate with them) - and Ana was a wonderful cook - especially on the last night when she cooked us a feast of her best recipes. The pool was nice to sit on the stools, reading a book/drinking a beer, and looking out into the bays. It was not a "swimming" pool - and the water temperature was quite cool (and it was shaded) - so the kids weren't very interested. I imagine if it was not so breezy, it would have been a welcome relief going into the water - as it was, the temperature with the breeze was PERFECT - and we were all very content to just laze in the lounge chairs reading a book and just not getting tired of the amazing view. The house itself was a little dated - but had everything, was comfortable and very clean - we had no complaints about the usability of anything and the space was easily big enough to accommodate our 2 families and we could have had more. The oddity (not super uncommon in CR) is that access to the lower level (the lower two bedrooms) is from the outside only - off the shared veranda and balcony. Not a big deal, but just something to note. All-in-all, it was a great place to go for the location, views and kindness of Ana and Juan!

The location and view is amazing. 🙌. We spent quiet days by the pool and beach enjoying all the wildlife. And Ana and Jean went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable.

This house is perfectly situated. The private beach was so fun. We spent every day there. Our young kids (9 and 12) played for hours. Ana and Juan were phenomenal caretakers. They kept the place super clean, and helped us get groceries, and even cooked up a meal for us. When we arrived, there was fresh fruit in the fridge. Highly recommend the place!

Stunning!!! Perfect vacation spot for adults/teens. It's even better than the pictures. There is something for everyone nearby...and the house and beach are so perfect in themselves that you never have to leave. We took a family of 7. Mom, Dad, 4-Twenty Somethings and a 14 year old and the house and location were perfect. There is something for everyone nearby...Golf, nightlife, beach life, etc. All of the basics are also very convenient (grocery, pharmacy, restaurants.). Jean-Francois was very responsive and helpful and Ana and Juan were perfect on-site hosts. Very helpful and kind, with nice surprise touches showing up from time to time (fresh fruit, coffee made in the morning, little treats) and they kept the house sparkling clean! (Note: I would NOT recommend the house for young children as there are multiple high drop-offs without railings, etc. and you will spend your time keeping kids away from edges instead of relaxing.)

The house was everything I hoped for and more. Ana and Juan were great. We spent lots of time on the porch, and I wish I could be back there right now!
