We had an absolutely spectacular stay! This home was perfect for our family of seven—spacious, comfortable, and beautifully maintained. The pool and hot tub were a highlight for all of us, providing the perfect place to relax and unwind. A special thank you to Leandra, the housekeeper, who truly made our stay even better. She kept everything clean, organized, and running smoothly, which we really appreciated. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to others!

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re thrilled to hear that the home was a perfect fit for your family and that you were able to enjoy the pool and hot tub—those are definitely guest favorites! We’ll be sure to share your kind words with Leandra; she’ll be so happy to know she made such a positive impact on your stay. It was truly a pleasure hosting you, and we’d love to welcome you and your family back anytime. Pura Vida 🌴 The Vida Pinilla Team

Wonderful stay, host, house, staff and Beach Club all outstanding. You need to either have a car or golf cart to get around the very large development. My only disappointment was the kitchen trash can foot pedal was broken but not replaced when reported early in our stay. Also there is an issue with ants on the kitchen countertop. Otherwise, we loved it. Thank you Joel and team!

Hi Thomas! Thank you very much for your thoughtful review and kind words about the house, our team, and the Beach Club. We’re delighted to hear that you had a wonderful stay overall. We truly appreciate you bringing the kitchen trash can pedal and the ants issue to our attention. We apologize that the pedal was not replaced during your stay and have already shared this feedback with our maintenance team to ensure it’s addressed promptly and prevented in the future. Thank you again for staying with us and for your valuable feedback. We’d love the opportunity to welcome you back again. Pura Vida!🌴✨ Vida Pinilla

Joel, Tatiana, and the concierge team were so very helpful and accommodating during our stay, and before in helping to plan excursions and logistics. I've never had a host help coordinate so many activities. They helped plan airport shuttles, golf cart and car rentals, and multiple excursions with transport in the area. Communications were replied to quickly. Questions and issues were resolved quickly. The daily cleaning by Leandra was amazing, and she was so nice. The pool area was perfect. The rooms were large and fit our big group or 8 adults and 6 kids easily thanks to the bunkbed room. The kitchen (with 2 fridges and ice maker!) was well equipped. It was easy to get to the beach club and mini-market with golf carts. Thank you so much!

Thank you so much, Andrew! We truly appreciate your kind words. It was a pleasure hosting your group, and we're so glad to hear that everything from the excursions to the daily housekeeping with Leandra helped make your stay a great one. We're always happy to assist with the details so you can focus on enjoying your time here. We hope to welcome you back soon for another unforgettable trip! Pura Vida!🌴✨ Vida Pinilla

We had such a lovely time during our week at Casa Sundog. Our host was fantastic and super responsive to any question or request!

Thank you, Tony! We’re so happy to hear you had a lovely week at Casa Sundog. It was a pleasure hosting you, and we truly appreciate your kind words. We’re always here if you need anything and would love to welcome you back anytime! Pura Vida!🌴✨ The Vida Pinilla Team

We loved the house, we were a large group but the layout of the house allows for privacy and also the common areas can be shared as a family

nos encanto la casa, éramos un grupo grande pero la distribución de la casa permite la privacidad y ademas las áreas comunes el poder compartir como familia

Muchísimas gracias Fabian por tu lindo comentario. Nos alegra saber que disfrutaron de su estadía y que la casa fue perfecta para combinar momentos de privacidad con espacios para compartir en familia. ¡Sería un placer recibirlos nuevamente en cualquiera de nuestras propiedades! Pura Vida! 🌴✨ Equipo Vida Pinilla

The property is better than in the photos! It's an amazing house, with all the necessary amenities in a great location! I would go back without thinking

La propiedad es mejor que en fotos! Es una casa increible, con todas las amenidades necesarias en una excelente ubicación! Regresaría sin pensarlo

Gracias, Vale! Nos alegra muchísimo saber que la casa superó tus expectativas y que disfrutaste tanto tu estadía. Será un placer recibirte de nuevo cuando quieras regresar! Pura vida y hasta pronto! 🌴✨ El equipo de Vida Pinilla

Casa Sundog is amazing! The concierge team was top notch from beginning to end. They were super communicative and provided great recommendations. The house was impressive to say the least and exceeded our expectations. This was the perfect stay for our family of 10 and made my parents 50th anniversary very memorable.

Thank you, Chris! We're so happy to hear that Casa Sundog exceeded your expectations and that your family had a memorable stay for such a special occasion. It was our pleasure to assist you, and we truly appreciate your kind words about our concierge team. We hope to welcome you back again in the future! Pura Vida, Reservations & Concierge Team

The house was great, very spacious. The back yard was private. The breakfast service was a nice touch as well. Definitely need a golf cart and/or car to get around as the neighborhood is huge.

Thank you, Lauren! We're so glad you enjoyed the house, the privacy of the backyard, and the breakfast service. And yes, Hacienda Pinilla is quite large—a golf cart or car definitely makes exploring easier! We’d love to host you again in the future. Pura Vida! 🌿☀️ Reservations & Concierge Team

The place was very nicely laid out. Rooms were spacious. Great amenities. Good communications. By far, the best thing was our housekeeper—she was great!! The only thing I would suggest is to scrub the pool stains more thoroughly and figure out a way to get rid of the ants (saw some on bed and around the house even without food being present). Overall, great stay!

Thank you, Anh! We're so glad you enjoyed your stay and that our housekeeper made such a great impression—it truly means a lot. We appreciate your feedback about the pool and the ants, and we'll make sure to address these concerns to improve the experience for future guests. Thanks again for staying with us, and we’d love to host you again in the future! Pura Vida, Reservations & Concierge Team

Casa Sundog is a beautiful, well designed home perfect for multiple families who also want privacy. The housekeeper Leandra was highly attentive to our living spaces and she cooked breakfast daily for our family. The outdoor living area was relaxing and a great place for us to be together and play games. We always choose Hacienda Pinilla with its Beach Club access & JW restaurants nearby. Joel’s concierge team was highly responsive to our unexpected needs.

Thank you Marijan for taking the time to give us a nice review. It was a pleasure to have you stay in Casa Sundog! Looking forward to host you again :) Pura Vida, Reservations & Concierge Team

The home was amazing, clean and exactly what we had hoped for and more! We had two families more than comfortable, location was secluded but close enough to everything we wanted to do! Very exclusive neighborhood and the beach club was wonderful! Leandra cooked amazing food and kept everything clean for us. Would stay again for sure, pura vida!

The house was beautiful, Joel had amazing communication. From the pool to the spacious rooms, decor and music sound system. The house was perfect. Our house manager cooked us breakfast and was so sweet…definitely recommended

Chad, thank you for taking the time to leave us a review, we really appreciate your kind words and hope to host you again in the future! Joel, Vida Pinilla

10 out of 10! 5 star quality home and service. Friendly, prompt replies to our endless questions and requests as first time travelers. Special thanks to David who had become my chat buddy, felt so well taken care of. Extra thanks goes to amazing Leandra for all her help, her home cooked breakfasts, making the mornings super relaxing. We left sad and already missing Casa Sundog! Hope to return soon!

Divine, Thank you for taking the time to leave us review and such a great one at that. It was a real pleasure hosting you and we hope to see you again in the future! Joel, Vida Pinilla

Casa sundog was amazing! Had everything we were looking for. Amazing pool and neighborhood was very peaceful. The house helper/cleaner was super friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommend.

Hi Amy! Thank you so much for staying with us. We are grateful you had a great experience at our house. We appreciate your kind words. We hope to have you back in the future

Casa sundog was absolutely stunning. We had a blast enjoying all the amenities, including the beautiful pool. The house was very spacious and the house helper/ cleaner was a great addition especially when traveling with a large group. The house is about 20 mins from downtown Tamarindo. The house was great with answering any questions/ concerns and even helped us with booking decently valued excursions.

Thank you Yasmeen for your great review.  We cannot wait to see you all again here to enjoy more our area and have a wonderful time having fun at the Beach Club, doing horseback riding here in the stable, or playing golf if you would like, plus exploring the beaches within Hacienda Pinilla and our perfect layout.

This property was absolutely beautiful it hosted my family vacation very comfortably and we are very satisfied !!!the property was very pristine quiet and very private I would truly recommend this house to anyone!!

Thank you so much Priscila, for your words and we definitely cannot wait to see you again for your next visit to Costa Rica and especially our area again to enjoy the amazing sunsets, the amenities, and beaches within Hacienda Pinilla. It will be a pleasure as always to help with all we can, Pura Vida, Vida Pinilla/Vida Luxury Villas Team

The house was fantastic! Gorgeous in and out and we had a maid included every morning which was lovely. Excellent location close to the beach club and nearby beaches. Our only complain is that we arrived almost at 4:00pm the first day and they were still cleaning the house even though check in was at 3:00pm. We had 5 kids and it wasn't ideal to have to wait till they were done. Other than that we recommend this house 100%.

It was great having Hector´s group staying with us in our Casa Sundog. On their check-in, we also had another big group with kids and we had our cleaning team doing deep cleaning to make sure have the house was ready upon arrival. We trust they had a great time and enjoyed all the amenities and the beautiful beaches within Hacienda Pinilla and our great house layout. We cannot wait to see them again on their next visit. We always are happy to assist with all we can. Pura Vida, Vida Luxury Villas Team

A spectacular place, all spotless!!!!! Super spacious, all great! Definitely a place to have a good time and rest easy!

Un lugar espectacular, todo impecable!!!!! Súper espacioso, todo de maravilla! Sin lugar a duda un lugar para pasarlo bien y descansar!

Muchas gracias por dejarnos su comentario y estamos muy contentos de saber que la pasaron bien, que les gusto Casa Sundog y no podemos esperar para verlos nuevamente para disfrutar mas tiempo de nuestra increíble propiedad. Vida Pinilla Team
