Excellent, 1 month ago

Our stay was amazing! The views are spectacular. It’s a very peaceful location situated over Brasilito Bay. Maria was an excellent host and very responsive. The condo was well situated for exploring the many beautiful beaches in the area. Highly recommended, don’t hesitate to book if you are interested!

Host Response

Gracias Matthew So happy to hear you enjoyed your stay! Pura Vida

Beautiful townhouse with magnificent views from the two balconies. Superbly equipped, beautiful complex with two pools. Nice and professional landlady. I would definitely recommend it!

Maria Luisa was an exceptional host. My wife celebrated her birthday during our stay, and Maria Luisa went above and beyond to help us arrange a boat cruise and a massage, which made the trip feel extra special. She was always responsive and available whenever we had questions. The house was clean, well kept, and very comfortable, with beautiful balconies that we really enjoyed. The property itself is also lovely and added a lot to the overall experience. We had a wonderful stay and would gladly return.

Host Response

Marat thank you so much, it was an honor for me to help with your girlfriend birthday! I’ll will do it again! Thank you for so much for your kindness. Pura Vida

Our stay at Maria Luisa’s place was absolutely wonderful. The home was beautiful, clean, and exactly as described. The location was fantastic and made it easy for us to enjoy the beach, sunsets, and everything the area has to offer. The space felt very peaceful and comfortable, and we truly felt at home during our stay. Maria Luisa was also a great host—very kind, responsive, and helpful throughout the trip. We’re so grateful for the experience and would absolutely stay here again. Highly recommend!

Host Response

Gracias Jenny This makes me super happy! I hope you come back again someday. Pura Vida

The property was a perfect place for relaxing after a few days of hiking. The view was breathtaking and the apartment was full of light, clean and had all the amenities. Location was perfect, quiet but not too far from Flamingo beach. Maria Luisa was very responsive and tried to accommodate our requests. We truly enjoyed our stay.

Host Response

Chao Alessandra Muchas gracias! It a was a pleasure to meet you and your family. I am glad to hear you enjoyed this property. Thank you again 🩷

We loved our stay. Beautiful, very well maintained place. Views are truly breathtaking. Spacious, modern, comfortable. Kitchen is well equipped. Maria Luisa was very receptive. There are beaches on both sides of the building, but both are best driven to and even more importantly driven back from: the building sits on top of a hill. There is no walking path straight down to the ocean. The beach on the left of the building if you are facing the ocean can be driven on in low tide if you have a 4x4.

Hola Anton Thnak you so much this review! I was very nice meeting you! enjoy the rest of your vacation! Pura vida

The condo and the view are more beautiful than pictures could do justice of. Clean, safe and wonderful amenities including a pool, beach chairs and beach towels. The host Maria was wonderful - great communication before our stay, and while we were there I had a few questions or needed something, she was quickly responsive! A few recommendations for other guests - rent a golf cart! It’s a short drive to the beach, restaurants/bars, shops, the marina and much more! We were able to charge our golf cart ride right at the complex. Bring your own coffee. I asked Maria before we arrived and she recommended 1820 ground coffee. We all loved it, and it was great to have a couple cups on the balcony in the morning with the view. We can’t wait to come back!

Host Response

Muchas gracias Kayla I am sorry glad you enjoyed your stay! Thank you for the recommendations! We will be here waiting for your next visit!!! Pura Vida

The flamingo towers were very beautiful and the best part was the amazing views of the ocean on both balcony’s. Maria was very helpful and instructions were very clear. Kitchen had pretty much everything you needed. Place was definitely big enough for us 4, could have fit 2 more. We never went in the pools but they looked very nice. Only downsides were the beds were harder than I like but some people like that. Also the picture of the third bedroom makes it appear to be another king bed with an ocean view which is one of the main reasons we got the place but there is only one bedroom like that. The other two bedrooms were smaller beds and not ocean view, probably should change that. And not super close to the beach but amazing beaches within a few minutes drive. Overall, liked it a lot though!

Host Response

Thank you Colin I am glad to hear you had a good stay! I apologize about the beds, I do have listed as one king and two queens. I’ll speak to the owner and see if perhaps we can upgrade it! Pura Vida

We loved this place! The views are stunning! I could sit on the decks for hours just staring at the view and listening to the waves. We made a big breakfast and ate it on the deck one morning…breath taking.. You even have a view while showering in the master bath! The best beaches are within minutes- Playa Flamingo & Playa Conchal. I ran to Playa Flamingo beach in 10 minutes. The sunsets from Playa Flamingo beach were amazing! The infinity pool was fantastic to come home to at the end of a long day out. I wouldn’t hesitate booking this place again.

Host Response

Hola Dan! Thank you so much for your review! We are so happy to know that you enjoyed this property! Pura Vida!

Wonderful condo with spectacular beach views from the lovely balcony, from the main living area, from the pool and from the master suite! Helpful hosts, well equipped kitchen and comfortable beds and linens. Two concerns were the water pressure (it varied a lot from a trickle at some parts of the day to a moderate flow) and the bedrooms were too light at night. Bring eye shades if you like a dark room for sleeping. Very friendly staff and overall, a great place to stay.

Maria’s place was exquisite, amazing views just as described. There are plenty of restaurants with great food and service! I would recommend renting a small SUV due to some of the roads not being paved. Also ensure you have internet throughout your stay in order to use Waze or google maps for directions as quite a few areas do not have exact addresses or street names. We had an awesome time and Maria was very responsive and a great host. Thank you Maria

Host Response

Muchas gracias Barbara I am glad you enjoyed your stay!

What a beautiful view! The condo was spacious, comfortable, updated and clean. The location requires a car as it’s a 5-10 minute drive to stores, restaurants, etc. You could walk 15 minutes down the hill on either side (the property sits up on top of a hill creating a gorgeous view), to get to the beach. We enjoyed our pool time a lot! We listened to the birds and monkeys in the morning- loved it!

Host Response

Brandy thank you very much for this awesome review. We are super happy you enjoy the property! Pura Vida

The town home was such a gem and amazing views of the pacific. We thoroughly enjoyed our personal sunset from patio . Spacious on inside for five of us and 3 bathrooms was a great plus. We enjoyed the two pools quiet w hardly anyone there. We did not have a car but we were able To safely walk to the flamingo beach about a 10 minute walk down the road as exit left off the parking lot and into the neighborhood. We ate at coco loco and Uber Back. At times took a bit to get an Uber but we were able to get home safely every time. If have car then getting around is no problem. Thank You for a memorable stay we will Be back !

Gorgeous place with incredible views and a lovely (warm!) disappearing-edge pool. The kitchen is well stocked and everything is comfortable. The dirt road up to the place is rutted but doable. Easy parking. It’s def a short drive into town; not walkable when we were there bc it was SO hot, but only takes 5 minutes. It would have been great to have a binder with a little more local knowledge about beaches, things to do, eating, etc., as well as some beach chairs (we bought some and left them, so maybe you’ll get to use ours!), umbrella, and so on but these are “nice to haves”, not complaints about the place. Sunsets were beautiful and we heard monkeys in the evening and woke to singing birds.

Host Response

Thank you Julie!! Super glad you enjoyed the property! There was a book with information of beaches and restaurants by the area. I am sorry you didn’t see it. Thank you for the chairs! Pura vida

This place is beautiful and is more amazing then we had expected it to be. It is much bigger then we had thought it would be! High ceilings, 2 large patios, 2 levels and a very nice walk in closet too. The view from the 2 patios is breathtaking! Everything was super clean. Lots of fluffy clean towels and a well stocked kitchen. The A/C units work very well for cooling. This was our favourite Airbnb on our 3 week Costa Rica trip. Thanks so much for having us.

Host Response

Gracias Jesse!!! So happy to hear you enjoyed your stay! We hope you come back! Pura vida

It was beautiful and Maria was on top of everything. The view was amazing. Too bad it was not closer to the beach. Unfortunately because of the dirty road we had Ubers cancel on us. But it was definitely easy place to stay at.

Host Response

Thank you Jessica I am glad you enjoyed your stay! I am sorry to hear about the Ubers, what a bummer. We are so limited on Ubers around here. Maybe next having a car will give the opportunity to explore more!!! Pura vida!

This place exceeded our expectations! It’s in a great location up on a hill, which makes for spectacular views. It’s just a short drive to both Playa Flamingo and Playa Conchal. The condo was spotless, and they have everything you need right there. Our kids were very happy with the pool and beach accessories. Don’t forget to sit on one of the two gorgeous balconies overlooking the ocean for the best sunset views. We will absolutely stay here again. Thank you, Maria!!

Host Response

Gracias a ti Sarah! We are super happy you enjoyed with your family!

Even more beautiful than the pictures! Location is great not only for the views but for easily getting around Playa Flamingo, Potrero, and Brasilito. The condo is incredibly clean and spacious. It had everything we needed. Maria was very responsive, friendly, and flexible. The two pools are an added bonus. We would love to stay here again!

All i can say is wow! The views are absolutely breath taking, while eating dinner, while taking a shower and in bed. I loved the privacy noone can see you on the balcony which added some privacy and the pool outside is super warm its perfect with beautiful views. Space was very very clean loved everything about it and would stay again!

Host Response

Muchas gracias Michael We are very happy to know you had a great time! Hopefully you will come back in the future!

The other reviews are spot on about the drive up to the condo; but it is not unusual in this area to have unpaved, steep roads. I think it makes the place a bit more private and charming. The view is absolutely wonderful, and we did get to see a howler monkey from our balcony, which is pretty cool. The front pool is great for a dip and sunset view, and it was never crowded. There are so many restaurants, bars and beaches a short drive away, so there is plenty to do in the area. We are back in the U.S. and already miss Maria's place. I think we may visit it again in the future!

Everything was very clean, close to everything.

Maria’s place has that rare combination of views to die for, gorgeous interior design and feeling home like and comfortable. The pools are also much better than expected - bigger, warm from the sun and of course, the view! We also enjoyed the short drive to Flamingo beach and the restaurants nearby. The only challenge we experienced staying here was flies attracted to the home lights at night which were hard to get rid of once inside. I would highly recommend Maria’s place with the caveat to keep patio doors closed at night. It’s an amazing place!

Host Response

Muchas gracias Robin We are super happy to know you enjoyed the property :) Pura vida

Maria's place was perfect. It was spotless inside, and had everything you would need. She was very responsive when we had questions. She even checked on us to make sure we had arrived, and that everything was as expected. The view from this unit could not have been better. We had beautiful sunsets every night, and saw lightning bugs, howler monkeys, and lots of different birds from the balcony. There is a beach close by that you could walk to. We chose to drive since there was a small parking area. We would definitely stay here again.

Maria’s place is absolutely stunning. I come to Costa Rica often and have stayed in many many Bnb’s, this place is now at the very top of the list. Can’t wait to stay here again! Don’t hesitate just book it!

Gracias Brandy 💕

A very lovely condo equipped with everything you'll need to feel at home. We made extensive use of the kitchen which was in pristine condition and well-appointed. There is plenty of light and lots of windows to take in the stunning view. A wonderful space to spend time with family and enjoy Guanacaste. You won't be disappointed!

What a beautiful place to spend with your family! It has absolutely everything you will need to relax and feel at home, the beds were comfortable, plenty linens, super clean, well equipped kitchen, the place is spacious; homey and cozy, with breathtaking views. Maria was an amazing host. This is the perfect place to get away with your family. 100% recommended!!

Host Response

Gracias Gerly So happy to hear that! This is want we want! To make you feel like home! We appreciate it you and your family. Pura vida!

We stayed at this place for the second time and we enjoyed it very much again . For me it brings together ideal walking conditions, a place with spectacular views, private , with a pool, close to paradisiacal places like Conchal Beach, close to restaurants and commerce in general . Although the access road is not in good condition , it can be accessed by any type of vehicle ( many streets of Costa Rica are like that in rural areas) , it is close to many beaches and the Catalinas. It is ideal for going to the beach or walking in the morning and rest seeing the view in the afternoons . It's by far one of the most complete homes we've ever been to. Maria , thank you so much for everything and we look forward to coming back .👌🙏

Wendy las Gracias a ustedes por habernos escogido por segunda vez. Ojalá vuelva!!!

The views from the Condo are truly breathtaking! The condo was very clean, spacious and easy to find. We loved hearing the Howler Monkey's and seeing all sorts of different birds and lizards around the condo. The beaches and restaurants are a 5-10 minute drive from condo. Our favorite restaurants were El Tiki and Coco Loco. Food was so good. Maria was a fabulous host, she was very responsive to any questions during our stay and helped with local suggestions for excursions. Highly recommend staying here!

Host Response

Ann muchas gracias for all this wonderful review! Hope to have you back in the future. Pura vida

The view is truly breathtaking! Perched at the top of a high hill, you’ll feel like you’re all alone in this very peaceful and private AirBnB. It is beautifully decorated and has everything you need to cook and relax. A car is certainly a must with this location to get to the beach and access restaurants. It has excellent proximity to Playa Conchal — the most beautiful beach in the area!

Host Response

Hola Julia Muchas gracias for this review! We appreciate so much your input for other guest! We hope to have you back in the future. Pura vida

Maria’s place was exactly as described! Gorgeous views and location, incredibly clean, and exactly what you will need for your stay! It is in between playa flamingo and brasilito each a 5min drive. 5- 10min drive from lots of local restaurants. 30min drive from tamarindo. Communication with Maria was awesome, she always responded quickly. The area lost power for half a day but Maria warned us In advance (it was out of their control and the whole area had no power) but we were able to plan our day around it. The amenities were everything and more. Even extra sauces and condiments were available. Laundry, full kitchen, lots of extra towels, no stone unturned! I couldn’t recommend this Airbnb more! It was the best one I’ve ever stayed in!

Everything is good. Good location, everything is very clean.

Maria's condo was incredibly clean, spacious, and comfortable. The views from the balconies are stunning. Maria was very responsive, helpful, and friendly. We really enjoyed the stay and felt at home. Maria leaves a lot of helpful information in the welcome book in the condo including safety tips, local activities, and restaurant recommendations. There are lots of games to play if guests want to stay in and enjoy the condo. The kitchen is well equipped and everything you need is available for cooking and preparing food. There is a washing machine and dryer, which is really helpful. There are also several beach towels available for use, which we really liked as we went swimming a lot. The local area is very quiet apart from the howler monkeys that hang out in the trees nearby, but we enjoyed hearing the different sounds of the local wildlife. I would highly recommend this accommodation. There are some cute restaurants nearby, about 5 or 10 minutes depending on the direction.

Heather thank you so much for this awesome review!!! I am si happy that you enjoyed your stay! And that you continue to explore our beautiful country. We hope to have back in the future!!! Pura vida

Wonderful, beautiful, immaculate!! A bit rough to find on the first try and it’s a steep dirt road to get there, but it keeps the place secluded. Once you’re there it’s awesome. The pools are sooo relaxing, the view is incredible. Grocery store, pharmacy, bank are just few mins by car. Playa Flamingo is 5-10 mins one way and Brasílito/Conchal is 5 mins the other way. You need to go to Conchal!!! Lots of great restaurants are near (via car) in Flamingo and Portrero. Maria has a great list in the condo. We definitely want to come back.

We really enjoyed the trip , an excellent place, with everything you need , with a beautiful , quiet and safe view, as offered . The road is a little bad , but no worries , you can access it with any car . It is located near the best beaches in Guanacaste , especially Playa Conchal , as well as restaurants and supermarkets . Check-in went smoothly and Maria gave all directions clearly . I definitely recommend it completely , we only had more days left to enjoy , we will definitely come back . Thank you so much Maria for everything !!

Host Response

Wendy muchas gracias por tus comentarios, estamos muy agradecidos por poder hospedar personas como ustedes. Los esperamos pronto!

Maria’s home is exactly what we expected. The home has a lot of space. The home decor and view was by far our favorite part of our stay. We only had two minor issues which we never made the host aware of. The master shower wouldn’t get hot the first night but we had 2 other showers to choose from! (The property has great space) Also, the ceiling fans on the patio help deter the bugs away from the patio but the fans were squeaky and shaky. The roads leading up to the property are very bumpy and steep. It was expected though prior to our trip. Other than that the beach near by is beautiful and we grabbed delicious breakfast at a restaurant not so far away. It was an easy ride into Tamarindo as well. I would stay at this home again and would recommend the stay to my family and friends.

Host Response

Hola Kofi Thank you so much for taking care of of the condo! We truly appreciate it. I will look into the issues you mentioned to make sure we can improve the stay for future guest and hopefully your next visit! Pura vida

María is a great host. Her place is located in a very tranquil place (the road is a bit bumpy and rocky and I would suggest having an 4x4 to get there and explore around) with a beautiful view and fully equipped for you to enjoy your stay nearby flamingo. María is great at communicating and everything was as described and expected! Lovely place, would def visit again.

Hola Jaziel Thank you so much for your review! We truly appreciate it. I am sorry about the bumpy road, hopefully one day it will get fix 🙏🏼 We look forward to having you visit us again! Pura vida

Everything you want and need! As soon as you walk in you’ll wish this was your own home! Beautiful and modern and yet incredibly comfortable. I started each morning with coffee on the balcony and ended it with a glass of wine watching the sunset. I wish I had stayed a month. Playa Flamingo super easy and close. The condo pool is lovely - all in all perfect stay!

Host Response

Gracias Maureen I am glad that you were hear everything was good and that you enjoyed your time! Pura vida

The view here is incredible! It is even better than the pictures show. There are balconies on both floors and the view from the master bedroom, master shower, and main living area are amazing. The house was clean and had everything that we needed. There are two pools on the property that are shared with other condos. There is nothing within walking distance, but there are several beaches (including Playa Flamingo) and restaurants within a 5 minute drive. We hope to return!

The condo was wonderful - even better than the pictures! The view is just breathtaking!! Swimming in the front infinity pool looking out at the ocean was amazing. The condo is not too far from Tamarindo where our kids took surf lessons and close to the Las Baulas Marine National Park which also has a beautiful beach.

Excellent, 8 years ago

This condo at Flamingo Towers was fantastic! There was plenty of space for our family of 5. Condo is on two floors - with 3 bedrooms, 2 full baths upstairs (master bath has a jacuzzi tub/shower that overlooks ocean!). Downstairs is main living area, well-stocked kitchen and another full bath. Full size washer and dryer. In addition to beach towels, the condo had 4 beach chairs and a cooler. Indivdiual a/c units in each bedroom and living room kept us comfortable. The pools had amazing views - and we always managed to have them to ourselves. On day one, we spotted a monkey and some amazing birds from one of two balconies. Condo is just over an hour from Liberia airport. A car is a must. It was a great location for us to explore Playa Flamingo (home of the fabulously fun beachfront Coco Loco restaurant) and Playa Conchal. We also took day trips to Tamarindo and Avenallas and Rincon de la Vieja. Small supermarket nearby met our needs. Great nearby restaurants: Surf Box for breakfast - OUTSTANDING! and La Sodita Italiana for dinner. Highly recommend!

The view is spectacular. No direct beach access. Shower pressure okay in 2/3 baths, air con works in all bedrooms and living room. Only 1 TV in the living room. Wifi works great. Road to condo is not paved, and may be difficult to access in the wet season. Maria is great and very helpful. She was always available when we called and always provided great advice or fixed our issue/question. Beds were stiff. Great wildlife in the morning in the trees below. 2 pools are community pools. No covered parking.
