The Saephan Villa - Villas for Rent in Playa Flamingo, Provincia de Guanacaste, Costa Rica

We stayed here with a large group  including 6 young kids. This was a magical home and perfect for our family vacation. The home was gorgeous - impeccably cared for with modern amenities. You can not beat the view from the infinity pool. Nina was incredibly responsive. The community felt incredibly safe! We will definitely visit again!

Nina’s place is breathtakingly beautiful. It was a perfect location for our extended family vacation and everyone had a comfortable and relaxing setup. Fabiola was so responsive and helpful when we had questions. It was an exceptional vacation!

The Saephan Villa is truly a gem! It’s exceptionally beautiful, peaceful and clean. Suk and Glori are so helpful and kind. They gave plenty of recommendations, were very responsive and truly made our visit to Costa Rica amazing. Book the private catamaran tour.. it is breathtaking.

Thank you so much for your kind words—it truly means a lot to us. We’re so happy to hear that you enjoyed your stay. It was a pleasure hosting you, you were wonderful guests, and we would be delighted to welcome you back anytime.

This house was AMAZING! The rooms, the pool, every hang out spot was phenomenal. And the views were gorgeous. Concierge service was incredibly helpful. Everything was very close for food, grocery store, coffee shops, and the beach. I would love to come back and stay here again. Definitely worth every penny!

Our stay at Saphean Villa was absolutely amazing. The house itself is beautiful, but the pool is truly the star of the property. We spent so much time enjoying the pool and the peaceful setting—it really made the whole experience feel like a private retreat. Glori was incredible to work with and helped us arrange everything ahead of time, from airport shuttles to car rentals and excursions. The planning process was seamless thanks to her help. One of our favorite excursions was a catamaran cruise, which was fantastic, but honestly the highlight of the trip was simply enjoying the villa itself and all of its amenities. It’s the perfect place to relax, unwind, and spend quality time together. We had an amazing stay and would absolutely recommend Saphean Villa to anyone looking for a beautiful, relaxing getaway.

Loved Suc the Co-host.  She came and gave us the walk around after we checked in from a 1 1/2 drive away. Grateful for her hospitality!!

Thank you so much for your kind words, Osman! It was a pleasure meeting you and your group. I’m really glad I could meet you in person. Your appreciation means a lot. I hope you enjoyed your stay and would love to host you again anytime! Safe travels!

WOW! That was the word common among my 13 person group every single time we walked through the front door of Saephan Villa! We often hear that the pictures don’t do justice to the real thing and it really can’t be more true from this property. If there’s such a thing as a home that makes you feel at home with nature while being secure from it at the same time, this is it. The hosts are super helpful in every way. This was our first visit to the beautiful country of Costa Rica and we were looking for a special place to hold our travel group. A place that was special and useful with good common space as well as comfortable and private bedrooms. Our desires were exceeded! Breathtaking views extend beyond the common space and into the nicely finished bedrooms. The kitchen is well laid out and very functional with everything you need to easily prepare meals. The pool, water feature and lighting really take the place over the top. I’m already planning to return with my family next summer

We’re thrilled to hear that the home, views, layout, and amenities all contributed to a seamless and comfortable stay, especially during your first visit to beautiful Costa Rica. It was truly a pleasure to host you, and we’re so happy that you felt both at home and connected with nature. We would absolutely love to welcome you back next summer with your family. Don’t hesitate to reach out when you’re ready—we’ll be here to help make your next visit just as unforgettable.

Nina and Suk’s place was amazing!! We were a group of 12 and there was more than enough rooms and space for everyone. Glori was wonderful and helped arrange everything with chef Flamingo (which was amazing). We were able to have massages pool side and booked excursions. Our stay was amazing overall and we would definitely return.

Thank you for choosing our villa for your birthday celebration. We hope you can come again soon!

From the moment we entered the Saephan Villa, we were immediately amazed. The "wow" factor upon entering the front door was palpable. The pictures do not do the view or the outside living space justice -- from the open air couch/seating, swings and billiards table, to the pool and BBQ area, to the accent lighting at night, all was impeccable. Nina/Suk helped to arrange Chef Kevin and Jasmine (Oasis Chef Company) for dinners. Not only did they make amazing meals and completed all the clean-up, but they were great fun to have around! Nina/Suk also helped to arrange airport transportation and a very last minute fishing trip. The kitchen was well appointed and the bedrooms/bathrooms were clean and well furnished. The villa itself was in a great location, about 30 minutes from Tamarindo, and with beautiful beaches a few minutes away. There were also grocery stores and restaurants nearby. For a small fee, there was also access to a great gym as well a tennis/pickleball courts.

It was a pleasure hosting you and your family, Andrew! We hope you come again soon!

We had an incredible stay at Saephan Villa. The Airbnb was impeccably clean and in excellent condition. The views were even more stunning in person than the pictures could capture. Nina & Suk were fantastic hosts, maintaining constant contact and ensuring we had everything we needed. We booked RLT Cuisine for one of our nights, but Chef Kevin and Jasmine truly stole the show. We initially booked them for three meals, which quickly turned into six because of their exceptional hospitality and outstanding, customized dishes. Their service was a highlight of our stay. Additionally, we highly recommend Nina's massage services. She can accommodate large groups and even offers the convenience of coming to the Airbnb, which was a wonderful treat. We would absolutely return to Saephan Villa in the future and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a memorable stay and a relaxing experience.

Shadin, thank you for your kind words and review. We hope we can host you again soon!

Like everyone else, I agree that pictures just don’t do this home justice! A beautiful home with spectacular views in a safe and private neighborhood. Felt like being in a private resort and our entire group was very impressed.  You can tell the home isn’t brand new, but is very well maintained and very clean.  Beds were comfy and linens were nice.  Definitely hire a chef to have food ready upon arrival so you can enjoy the property right away because you won’t want to leave once you arrive.  We chartered a boat and the home was only 5 minutes from the marina pickup area. Everyone in our group wants to return and stay here again.

Absolutely stunning villa that made for a perfect home base for our vacation to Costa Rica.  My wife and I celebrated my 40th birthday here and it was exactly what we were looking for.  Beautiful architecture and a serene open air concept in a quiet community.  A short drive to the beaches and town but we couldn’t wait to get back each day to dive into the pool and watch the sunset.  I just can’t say enough about the view this villa has, being up in the hills looking down at the Pacific provided some of most beautiful sunset views I have ever seen.  The hosts Nina and Suk were great and made sure we had everything we needed for our stay, including some great restaurant recommendations.  We can’t wait to come back and I already know exactly where we will be staying next time!

Thank you Chris for celebrating your 40th birthday at our home. We are happy to hear that you and your wife had a great time. Hope to see you both soon.

Pictures do not do this place justice. It is more beautiful than the pictures show. It was such a serene and peaceful setting. We had a problem with the hot water and the host was extremely responsive and made sure to remedy the situation as quickly as possible. The neighborhood is very safe and within short driving distance to several beaches. Pro tip - The Surf Box restaurant in town was amazing for morning breakfast and smoothies!!

The photos do not do this home justice it’s magnificent! We had chef which made it all the better! Will return for sure.

Had the pleasure of staying at this villa with two families of 4. Location was amazing, and possibly the most luxurious private residence I have ever stayed at. Easy access to close restaurants, beaches, and in a very safe area of Flamingo. Would definitely stay here again!

The house is beautiful, has a spectacular view, spacious and comfortable rooms, we hired the chef services of Kattya (highly recommended).

La casa es preciosa, tiene una vista espectacular, cuartos espaciosos y cómodos, contratamos los servicios de chef de Kattya (muy recomendados).

We visited Costa Rica for my husband’s 45th birthday and when I tell you the wow factor that was had by all once we pulled into the house. The view, the layout, the pool, the rooms, the bathrooms, I mean everything was perfect. Our group went from 8 people to 4 and the four of us had a ball. It was so hard to leave the house. Kattiya and Alonso and her assistant were amazing. I feel like they are my new family in Costa Rica. If you book this house without Kattiya and her staff, you  are cheating yourself. We decided to make this a yearly trip and bring the family next time to indulge in the beautiful experience that The Saephan Villa had to offer. Perfecto. Blown away

Our whole group had a wonderful time staying at the Villa. Nina and Suk are an excellent host and property manager. They responded to any questions we had immediately. We stayed at multiple properties in Costa Rica over the course of our vacation. We all agreed that staying at the Seaphan Villa was the best part of our trip. The property is beautiful and has plenty of space for a large group. It has an amazing view overlooking the city from the pool/deck. I highly recommend hiring chef Kattya. She pampered us the whole time by making us meals, snacks, and drinks. Her crew was also nice enough to go to the store for us a couple of times to gather additional items we needed.

Spectacular!! As others have said, pictures don’t do it justice! The architecture and layout are amazing, feels like you’re in your own 5 star luxury hotel. Suk and Nina were incredibly quick to respond to any questions we had. We hired the housekeeper Saray to come daily and she made our stay. She was wonderful - extremely thorough and a wealth of knowledge about the house and the surroundings. Will wholeheartedly be recommending this place to all our friends. Can’t wait to come back ourselves!

Everything spotless. Better than expected. A dream house with wonderful service. You can't ask for more from a house. Everything was wonderful. Impeccable. Super recommended.

Todo impecable. Mejor de lo esperado. Una casa de sueños con un servicio maravilloso. No se le puede pedir más a una casa. Una maravilla todo. Impecable. Súper recomendable.

This house is Absolutely breathtaking…and the service is unmatched. We booked this property because the pictures were captivating but as many others have stated they just do not capture the true beauty!!! We highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a special place to take family and friends. Our chef Kattya went above and beyond on her service and food quality. The presentation and taste rival any 5 start restaurant. We will be back!!!

Our family vacation at The Saephan Villa was wonderful! We felt like we had our own private 5-star resort. We hired the house chef Kattya to have dinner ready for us when we arrived. This made us feel welcome and immediately relaxed. Her food was perfectly prepared, delicious, and ready for us upon our late arrival. We also had her prepare two more dinners and this helped us have plenty of leftovers in the refrigerator. She was wonderful and I would highly recommend her. Suk was also very helpful and was always available to guide us and give recommendations.

Our stay at the Saephan Villa was a great one.  The house is beautiful and included features not even included in the photos (rooftop grilling/dining area and rooftop yoga/workout area).  The house is a beautiful modern open floor plan with a distant view to the ocean.  The sunsets every night were amazing.  It is located in a private community, so we never worried about security.  The general description for location is Santa Cruz, but it is located about 10 minutes from Flamingo Beach.  This made it very convenient for two boat charters we took from that marina, which by the way is brand new.  Suk was super responsive to anything we needed before and during our stay, including travel recommendations.  I would suggest if you stay for a week or more to pay for a cleaning service mid-week as the open floor plan does allow a lot of bugs and other debris into the common areas over a few days.  All in all, a great house!

We stayed at the absolutely gorgeous Saephan Villa for our annual girls trip.  I do not even know where to begin because everything about our stay on this beautiful property was perfect.  The home is just as pristine as it looks in all of the pictures.  All of the rooms were a good size and the remaining living/entertaining spaces comfortably accommodated our group.  The hosts and their property manager were absolutely phenomenal in helping us to get connected to so many trust worthy vendors during our stay.  One of our favorites was hiring Chef Kattya Campos who cooked a few amazing local cuisine dishes and her level of service was impeccable.  Overall, I give this luxury property a 9/10, and I would definitely stay there again!

Our group stayed at this property for a girls trip/birthday trip and we could not have picked a better place.  The other reviewers are correct when they say the pictures do not do it justice.  The hosts were incredibly helpful and friendly before and throughout the trip, even going out of their way to arrange a car rental to be dropped off at the house for us last minute when we realized cabs would not be very efficient (tip: rent a car).  We hired Kattya as recommended to cook breakfasts and lunch for us and she did not disappoint - all of her meals were delicious. The house had a water problem on the last morning but it was resolved within an hour between Kattya, her partner, and the host dealing with the service company and it didn't require a single thing from us.  We are already planning our next trip back!!

All I can say is WOW! Felt like Bali vibes in Costa Rica. The villa is much more gorgeous in person. Pictures don’t do it justice. Kattya the Chef & her husband was the highlight of the stay. They took great care of us with any accommodation we needed. I definitely will be coming back. Recommend 10/10 for anyone looking for a villa to stay at!

Perfection. Pictures don’t do this villa justice. The location, the layout, the privacy, the private chef, everything was beyond our expectations. Make sure to book Katya (she’s the private chef for the property). All her meals were delicious! We will be back here soon and often to enjoy this property and Costa Rica.

Beautiful home, great communication. Easy and convenient check in process. This home is striking, the photos do not do it justice…

This villa was very beautiful and comfortable to stay at! The views were breathtaking. All of us had a great time staying here and felt safe!

This house is awesome! The best views and the best Sunsets in Guanacaste.  Conveniently located to several beaches.  The house is even more stunning than in the pictures.  The pool is fabulous and the open air living spaces accentuate a relaxing experience. The house managers were fabulous and always available.  The master bathroom and it’s views were like a postcard.  All in all, you will not be disappointed with any aspects of this house. Best Villa we have ever rented!

Breathtaking sunsets and stunning property that won’t disappoint. We came here for a joint family vacation with another family. The kitchen had every little thing a chef desired. The salt water pool was amazing and the views were just wow!  Suk and Nina were really helpful and responsive. Nice arrival basket with some goodies - special touch. The gated community security guards were super friendly. Thanks for great memories.

This home exceeded expectations, the photos truly do not do it justice! As a frequent visitor of Costa Rica, it was nice to be in an area slightly off the beaten path (Tamarindo, where I have stayed twice before, is a lot). However, there were cute towns just moments from the house and tons of amazing beaches we almost had just to ourselves. It is also only an hour and 15 minutes from the Liberia airport and not super far from Rio Celeste and other amazing attractions, which I highly recommend doing a tour of if you have the time.

The pictures really don’t do it justice of how beautiful the house is! Nina was first class in helping us get set up with contacts for transportation and activities to do.

This place was amazing!  A dream vacation. Pictures can’t come close to doing it justice. The amenities were top notch and the communication was timely and very helpful. I will definitely be coming back!

This was by far my favorite place on Airbnb that I’ve stayed in. It’s just as beautiful in real life as the pictures. Everything worked properly and we had no problems with anything at all. Communication was fast anytime we reached out, the A/C was great, and the views were spectacular in all directions. I definitely plan on coming back and highly recommend! It was a dream vacation.

No words can begin to describe how perfect this house is. It is even more spectacular in person. Sunset views I will remember forever. The home is in a gated community and felt safe the entire stay. This is not a party house and is considered a “quiet neighborhood” after 10:00pm. Communication with the host and co-host was excellent. About a 30-40 minute drive to Tamarindo. I will definitely be back to this house again.

Gorgeous location! The hosts are VERY helpful, will go out of their way to help in any way they can. Very kind. We were visiting from out of the country and they made us feel very much at home. Would come back in a heartbeat!

Absolutely flawless. The house, amenities, everything is straight out of something you'd only think can be imaginable. Equipped with everything, phenomenal decor - everything is flawless. Suk is absolutely phenomenal by the way, quick response, friendly, patient and professional. 10/10 experience, we will never forget this.

Literally everything in the house was amazing and perfect ! Seriously breathtaking & so unique. My only comment is that they need better pictures because the pictures really does this property no justice. Walking into the villa was like a dream. Suk and Nina was really also awesome. They left us a note card and we really enjoyed the small gestures such as stocking the fridge with essentials and providing snacks and tea that we drank every morning. Overall the place was very well equipped. We felt like home. The villa is in a gated community which was a plus and check in was very simple and convenient. Playa Flamingo is also minutes away and there’s some shops and restaurants there. Thank you again for everything.

Words can’t explain how beautiful this house is! I just want to stay thank you! Very attentive & GREAT hospitality. I recommend this house 100%. Thank you guys for making my experience amazing! Suk & the owners were very helpful with transportation, excursions etc.
