We had a fantastic stay and would highly recommend this property. The pool was beautiful, and the ocean views from the porch were absolutely stunning. Traveling with three generations, it was the perfect setup for all ages to relax and enjoy time together. The group spent a lot of time at the beach. A special thank you to Jasmina, who kept everything spotless with daily cleaning, and chef Yvonne, whose meals made the trip extra special and completely stress-free. Their help allowed us to truly relax and enjoy our vacation. The host provided excellent recommendations before and during our stay. We rented a golf cart and a van, which made getting around easy, and the drive from the airport was simple. Having Coco Loco right next door was another huge plus, the food was amazing and the location couldn't have been more convenient. Overall, an outstanding experience that created wonderful family memories. We would gladly stay here again.

We had an amazing stay in Playa Flamingo! The location truly couldn’t be better—just steps from the beach. All you have to do is cross a small street and you’re on one of the most beautiful beaches, with incredible views right from the property. The absolute highlight of our stay was the cook, Ivonne. Her food was outstanding—easily one of the best parts of our trip. She was warm, friendly, and shared great local insight. Booking her is a must if you’re staying here. Jasmine, the housekeeper, was also wonderful—very kind and kept everything spotless throughout our stay. There was so much to enjoy during our time here. We did a sunset catamaran tour, had relaxing massages right on the beach, and loved grabbing coco loco drinks next door. We were also lucky to see wildlife like monkeys, iguanas, crabs, and a variety of beautiful birds, which made the experience even more special. And the sunsets… absolutely breathtaking. The views each evening were unforgettable and truly made this st

Beautiful house and great location. Great cleaning lady and chef. A few house maintenance issues need attention.

We enjoyed our 1 week stay with 5 adults and 3 kids. Plenty of space, it never felt crowded. Access to the beach right across the road, couldn’t be any better! We rented a canopy for the week from one of the local guys and that helped to beat the heat. When it was too hot for the beach, we would go back to the pool which was clean and had an inviting outdoor area. No complaint, but the road can be noisy especially mid day into the evening. It never interrupted us or caused issues with sleep though. The chef was 10/10. Recommend booking!

Extreme pura vida! Rent this home, and you will not be disappointed. Hire the chef, no matter what you do, as well. She is beyond amazing!!!!!!! We did not rent a car or other vehicle, and we did not need to, which was awesome. Playa Flamingo is a very clean, beautiful beach right in front of the house. Walter, who rents beach chairs and tents, is most helpful and will give you a good deal for your entire stay. Just remember to bring LOTS of cash; US dollars are fine, smaller bills are better. The house had Christmas decorations, which made our holiday stay very special. I look forward to visiting again :)

The location of this home was even better than expected. You feel as if the beach is your own. The views from the upper deck are breathtaking. Plenty of towels for the pool and beach are provided. Well stocked kitchen. We never had a bad meal at Coco Loco right next door. However, be sure to book Yvonne the chef as well. She is warm and kind and makes absolutely delicious fresh food, and Plenty of it! I will be saving up to come again for sure!

Words cannot express how awesome this place is. The location is perfect- literally steps to the beach, sunsets that are phenomenal and the waves of the Pacific that rock you to sleep. The house had everything we could want for our family of nine. We had plenty of room and all the amenities we needed. Housekeeping did a fantastic job of keeping everything perfect. If you go, indulge yourself by having the cook Ivonne, make breakfast and dinner for you. You will not be disappointed. We are already planning our return trip.

Great location, staff and house. Difficult for us to find in the dark.

There were six of us who stayed in Lydia's home during spring break week... my family of 4 (including a 16 and 14 year old) and my parents. We enjoyed our stay at the house and Ivonne and Jasmina made the stay EXTRA special. They are both so friendly and so hardworking and I wish they could come with us on every vacation! We had a couple minor issues at the beginning but both were addressed and fixed promptly. The communication from everyone we worked with from start to finish was excellent. The house is on a prime location and the beach is beautiful. A mile long stretch of soft sand and powerful waves (careful with small kids). We rented golf carts and explored the nearby areas but I did wish there was a bit more to see and do in the area. If I were to visit again I would split the trip up to half beach and half jungle/inland. Flamingo is more of a quiet village and unfortunately many of the attractions are a 2-3 hour drive one way. If all you want is beach then this is it!
