Hacienda Style

We rented this place for our wedding in las palapas , this place is spacious and have beautiful sorroundings . it is super well equipped and the rooms and ammenities are great , the terrace and balcony were my favorite spots .

the hosts (Dennise and Grant) were really responsive for our requests and allowed us to check in early for a surprise I had the day before the wedding, so I highly recommend them as hosts and the house is a really nice place.

We had a terrific week at this home. It’s super comfortable and well appointed. The owners provided really helpful information about different places to spend our time- all were great! The home was very clean. The housekeeper was so sweet and made a traditional Tica breakfast for us. Hers was the best food we ate all week. We loved spending our mornings on the second story porch with a wonderful breeze. We saw monkeys right from the balcony two different times. The wildlife just around the home is incredible. We had an issue with the lock box when we arrived but given the attention to detail that they show I’m certain it will be fixed before the next visitor. We hope to come back again!

Beautiful and very comfortable Air BnB. Looks just like the pictures. The patio and balcony were the big draw. So lovely to sit outside and enjoy coffee/breakfast on patio, wine/dinner in evenings, sleep in hammock if so inclined. Easy access across the parking lot to community pool. Walk about 5 min to a locked gate (ask Denise or Iriedy to show you the key) to get onto Marriott property and their beach and palapas. If you don’t have the key, you can still access, just a bit longer walk (?10-15 min). Iriedy is a fabulous cook and very sweet. You can specify what days you need her to come if you don’t need her everyday. The place was spotless. We did hear the howler monkeys at sunset. Easiest way to get to the Air BnB is to set your GPS to JW Marriott Guanacaste then take the first left after the Marriott. There will be 2 gates to get through with a QR code that the host (Denise in our case) will give you. Then you use a 4 digit passcode for lockbox.

The villa was exactly as described! It was a bit secluded, but it was exactly what we needed so we didn't mind. The host was extremely responsive, ordered groceries and fresh fish before our arrival so we had everything we needed. The kids loved the pool and spotting the monkeys. We would definitely visit again. Iriedy was absolutely amazing!!

Grant and Denise’s place in Hacienda Pinilla was perfect for our Family of 5. Denise was incredibly helpful and responsive throughout the stay. Helping us with groceries, excursions, toys for the kids and more. Having the daily housekeeper made it feel like vacation and we look forward to returning.

Excellent host. Very attentive and friendly, always available for any questions. The place was clean, comfortable and just as described. The experience was very nice.

This was an incredible place to stay and we will definitely be back! Pictures don’t do it justice. The unit itself is very spacious, clean, and a perfect layout for a family or several couples traveling together. With 2-porches, it has incredible ocean views and we’d watch daily for monkeys and birds just outside the house. The neighborhood is safe, has an awesome amenities with the Beach Club and surf breaks right out front. Denise/Grant were wonderful hosts and we can’t say more positive things about our trip. We can’t wait to come again soon!

Denise was a great host and overextended herself in welcoming us, ordering groceries for us, and making sure all of our questions were answered. The region is a bit more isolated than we expected. A car is definitely needed just to do basics such as try different restaurants, get groceries, etc. this isn’t on the house, but more that we didn’t have a lot of time to plan based on our desire for a walkable low lift beach vacation. The home and staff in the home were enjoyable and very helpful with meals. Would definitely recommend the home and Denise as a host.

Wow! This place is amazing. Has everything you need and in a location that’s pretty magical. Exceeded my expectations big time. Fam loved the pool and we usually had it all to ourselves. Wildlife was next level here. Kids saw so many cool animals. Access to all of my favorite beaches and surf spots. The house manager Andreina was so responsive to our needs and made some fantastic food for us. Very hard to leave this place. Will be coming back soon.

We loved our stay here. We were close enough to get into Tamarindo but far enough to have the peace and quiet of the Hacienda estate. 3-4 private beaches all walkable, horseback riding on the estate and incredible restaurants. The house was beautifully appointed and the cleaning service so friendly and helpful. It is a perfect place for families. The hosts provided a great deal of local recommendations that were so helpful.

Absolutely five star location, condo and resort. So many amenities and attention to details at the condo. We were a family of four with grandparents joining and the condo was the perfect fit! We were all drawn to the wrap around porch and hammocks instantly. As other reviewers stated Andreina is super sweet and helpful.

We were able to explore the resort and take advantage of the pool as well as several private beaches within the property. I would highly recommend going to a grocery store on the way in or having them delivered upon arrival. The kitchen was so well stocked we ate almost every meal at the condo for the week we were there.

On our last day the howler monkeys came right to the the trees across from the condo to wish us fare well! What an unforgettable trip! Hope to one day be lucky enough to return!

Everything was excellent

Stayed here for my wedding, which took place next door at the Las Palapas. Beautiful area!

Wonderful stay, enjoyed the home and the surroundings.

Thanks to Denise who was always great to get in touch with if we needed anything.

Everything was great, the house was very well maintained, clean and with a lot of detail. Communication with Denise is quick and clear. We would definitely book it again

Our stay at this Airbnb in Hacienda Pinilla was absolutely wonderful! The home was beautiful, spacious, and set in a peaceful, lush environment—perfect for relaxation. The surroundings were serene, with easy access to stunning beaches and nature trails. What truly made our experience exceptional was the host’s responsiveness and attentiveness. They provided clear communication, great recommendations, and went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed. Whether we had a question or needed assistance, they were always quick to help. The property itself was well-maintained, comfortable, and had all the amenities we could ask for. It felt like a private retreat, yet we were close to all the best that Hacienda Pinilla has to offer. If you’re looking for a relaxing getaway with a fantastic host, this is the perfect place. We would absolutely stay here again!

The listing does NOT do this place justice. It is much larger and nicer than we anticipated. The setup is perfect for families with lots of outdoor space to hang out. We spent a lot of time on hammocks and large rocking chairs. It's a great gated community with pool and walking distance to a private beach area. The best part of the stay is their house keeper. She kept everything clean and tidy, cooked us delicious breakfast and lunch and even did laundry. We were not expecting this level of hospitality!!! One tip - be sure to follow the provided step by step driving instructions and don't trust GPS on this one. It is much easier to get to taking the route they recommend from the airport. The hosts were super responsive and gave us great local tips. We will be back!

Denise and Grant helped us lot with our reservation. It got inadvertently cancelled a week before the vacation and they helped us to rebook it for the same price and days. Great to have Andreina as housekeeper onsite. We really like this home feeling place so close to the beach.

A great house, very comfortable and clean. Felt right at home, very well stocked kitchen and daily cleaning service was great to have. Local recommendations (restaurants, etc) were very much appreciated. Would recommend this house to everyone and would definitely come back.

Beautiful place.

Super helpful and kind host.

Hacienda Pinilla was great.

We enjoyed it immensely.

Stayed here as a family (2 adults, 2 grandparents and 2 kids). Perfect location in Hacienda Pinilla—walking distance to the beach! The house is pristine and well-maintained. The housekeeper was amazing- she cooked a made to order breakfast daily, helped clean up after kids and do laundry! It was our first time visiting this area and I would definitely take Denise’s recommendations for grocery delivery, a chef, fisherman, local restaurants etc. Beach club is nearby for $35/day which is well worth it! This place is the nicest house I’ve ever stayed in! The house had EVERYTHING we needed and a very well-stocked kitchen. We loved it here and would definitely recommend it to anyone traveling to this area. We hope to return next year!

Hacienda Pinilla is our favorite place. Our kids enjoy every moment. My oldest son surf, my youngest play golf and my girl enjoy jogging around Pinilla. We walked to the JW Marriott for dinner and walked from the nearest beach to Avellanas our favorite beach. It felt like a real vacation.

If you are looking for a relaxing stay in Costa Rica, with plenty of space- this it it! We were a family of 3 but this home could easily accommodate a few more. We woke up every morning to the peaceful sound of birds in the trees. We would make our coffee and take it to the upstair balcony and enjoy the birds, one day we even saw a monkey swinging through the trees. It was very peaceful and quiet. There was a housekeeper everyday, who kept the home spotless (changed linens and towels, tidied up and even cut our fruit for us). The beach is walking distance and if you enjoy walking there are several paths surrounding the property to get in your daily steps. The pool is across from the villa, but when we went it had not been cleaned, so we chose to use the pool at the JW Marriott next door, which is beautiful and also has several restaurants. There was another pool on the property and they did clean the pool on our last day, but we preferred the Marriott. Overall I highly reccommend!

This was our families first time in Costa Rica and I am so thankful we chose this place for our three week stay. The house manager made our vacation truly a vacation , breakfast every morning, dishes and she even helped us with laundry and made all beds. She went above and beyond.

It rained almost the entire time we were there so it was a little challenging to get to the beach as I thought it was located on the beach. It’s a good little walk to get to a swimable beach but it has the most beautiful spot to see sunsets! Overall the place is so safe and quiet and we enjoyed the gated community. The house is beautiful and immaculate, the master bed is a little hard for our taste, but otherwise a place of luxury. The back porches are almost like a bird paradise we loved listening to them every morning. If we come back to Costa Rica we would stay here again.

We had the best time in Costa Rica! The Villa is exactly what you see in the pictures. Short walk to JW Marriott beach where you can watch amazing sunsets. Lolas is right down the road and several other restaurants! Short drive to Tamarindo if you want to enjoy the shops and night life. We will definitely be back!

Grant and Denise's home was such a wonderful home away from home. The landscaping and location with close proximity to the beach make it stand out above other listings. The home was beautifully appointed and the hammocks, porch and balcony were wonderfully relaxing. It is located in a community within a community where you meet other visitors as well as homeowners, share a communal pool and gym with others, but her yard is beautifully maintained-- so you also have a very private and relaxing space. It was everything we had hoped for and we would definitely stay with Grant and Denise again. If you like to surf-- the beach in front of the larger Hacienda Pinilla clubhouse was perfect both for advanced surfers or those just learning. This home is next to the Marriott as well as close to the larger clubhouse- so you have options of three different pools or a beach! We can't say enough about our wonderful stay!

Our stay was perfect! The home is beautifully decorated, the location is wonderful and our party of 6 was comfortable and had plenty of space. Juan and Andriana were amazing! Juan made sure we had a fridge full of groceries upon our arrival and Andriana's home cooked meals were an incredible treat! Denise was so responsive - making sure we got settled in ok, sharing recommendations and responding to all our questions. Beautiful home and wonderful hosts!

We absolutely loved our visit to Hacienda Panilla. We opted not to rent a car and rented a golf cart and hired drivers instead. Next time, we will just rent the car. The house was well-stocked with all of the necessities and kept squeaky clean. The location was fantastic. We visited in February and the wind can be wicked strong, but warm. Thank you for a relaxing vacation in beautiful Costa Rica!

The villa was a perfect place for our Costa Rican vacation. We loved how peaceful the area was. Even nicer than the photos. Easy drive to busier areas such a Tamarindo and Playa Flamingo but then you could retreat back to Hacienda Pinilla and relax. Adrianna kept the villa spotlessly clean during our stay and made the most amazing breakfasts. We had Iriedy make a number of dinners for us and they were absolutely delicious. Highly recommend.

The walk to Mansita Beach was 5 minutes and you can walk for miles on the beautiful beach towards Avenallas. The whole area is safe, gorgeously landscaped with amazing views.

Recommend Serendipity Charters out of Playa Flamingo, Gutti Tours in Avenallas, Surf Box in Playa Flamingo, Lola's in Playa Avenallas.

Amazing place! Highly recommended, wonderful host (:
