We have three grown children who have traveled the world with us, in destinations as unusual as Sri Lanka or Namibia. We've been traveling on Airbnb since the beginning of this app. We are not hotel people. We prefer to live with the locals as we lived there for real, that's what makes us love this type of adventure, because yes, the airbnb, for us is an adventure that takes us out of our daily lives and brings us out of your comfort zone. You will not live with us as if you were in a hotel, you will live there as you were with friends on vacation, friends, who would have lent you their house, the house of “their” dreams. It is filled with welcome, love and intentions that you are having a Costa Rican “experience”. Pura vida means living in harmony with nature (fauna, flora and yes also some insects;-)) Our house is welcoming and bright. If you share our values, you are more than welcome and we will count you among our friends from now on.

## About the Hosts

CasaCielo, Oceanview w/Pool, Near Beaches & Dining - Villas for Rent in Playa Flamingo, Provincia de Guanacaste, Costa Rica

Way a fantastic time there quiet great for you great setting

It was a perfect stay. The beach is 5 mins away. The pool was incredible. Amazing restaurants nearby.

House is Fantastic. Great views, amazing pool, great layout and recent renovation is top notch. Stocked with everything you need for your stay. Close drive to Playa Flamingo, Playa Conchal and other beaches. Multiple good restaurants, and a decent grocery store near by. The whole family loved our stay at Casa Cielo.

Beautiful home with beautiful views. very quiet. A bit of a drive from the airport, but driving instructions were good. Restaurants, grocery, etc very nearby. Nicolas (house manager) was very responsive & helpful. we would stay here again.

This place is 10/10. Gorgeous, modern, spotless clean. Fantastic views. Amazing pool. Comes with everything you need. Close drive to multiple beaches and many restaurants. We loved this place. Check in was a breeze and the host was super helpful. There isn’t one negative thing I could say about it.

Pura Vida literally means “Pure Life,” but in Costa Rica it’s a way of life—and Casa Cielo embodies it perfectly. From the amazing views and thoughtful design, unbeatable location, every detail feels effortlessly Pura Vida. This is the rare vacation rental offering space, privacy, and value. With a car, you’re just 20–25 minutes from incredible beaches, snorkeling, sailing, hiking, and great local restaurants. A special nod to Nico in Guest Services. After our flight was delayed, we arrived late at night, and he was incredibly responsive, guiding us to the house without a hitch. We’d return in a heartbeat.

This place was absolutely charming! It felt so cozy and comfortable, and the views took our breath away. The outdoor shower and pool were perfect for refreshing ourselves after long, hot days at the beach and exciting adventures. We truly felt like we belonged, especially with the adorable resident cat who stopped by every evening when we sat outside. We can't wait to come back!

First, thank you for having us! Thank you for the hospitality that was provided. The communication was above and beyond. The villa is truly remarkable with amazing views. It is near basically everything that you can think of. Definitely 10/10

We absolutely loved our stay! The place is so tastefully furnished, the views are wonderful, the kitchen was spacious and open and we only wish we had more time there!

The house is amazing, with a beautiful view and a nice pool. The living room is very cozy, and the smart TV setup is great. Nicolas was extremely responsive and very friendly. I highly recommend it!

We had a wonderful stay at this property in Playa Flamingo. The setting is peaceful, with lots of birdlife, beautiful sunsets, and plenty of sunshine throughout the day. It’s just a 7-minute drive to Playa Flamingo and close to beaches, restaurants, and shops. We stayed with our 11-month-old daughter and the house worked very well for our family. She had her own bedroom and loved the space. The second bedroom is accessed via the outside balcony rather than from inside the house, but this worked perfectly for us. You can walk (not recommended) into town for coffee or a meal, although the walk back is steep (but well paved). The outdoor spaces are a great place to relax and enjoy the surroundings. Anne-Pierre and Nic were fantastic hosts—friendly, responsive, and helpful throughout our stay. We would happily stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful and comfortable base in Playa Flamingo.

If you’re looking for the perfect getaway this is the place! 10 out of 10

This place is paradise! We booked for an extended weekend - it was very private and comfortable. Great views, lots of birds, and a very lovely location all around. Nico was attentive and helpful, giving great recommendations and helpful suggestions on everything we might want or need. There are restaurants and well-stocked grocery stores nearby. It was a perfect stay. We will absolutely be back to this beautiful home!

Enjoyed our time here! Beautiful place! Very good direction to get there. Great location to explore different areas.

The Villa was perfect for our family and our needs.  Our older daughter loved having her own private bedroom and bathroom.  I enjoyed the plunge pool and was able to do water exercises while admiring the beautiful views of the Pacific Ocean and Flamingo Marina. The location provides easy access to many local beaches and cruises from the marina. Thank you to Nico for helping us get our Sunset cruise scheduled. What a wonderful stay.

Excellent home with fantastic views! Home is equipped with everything you need. Felt right at home. Can’t say enough about the beautiful views and peaceful mornings! Will be back to visit again soon.

I was on vacation with a friend and we really enjoyed staying in this beautiful home. It was very clean, private, and quiet.  Host was very responsive and helpful throughout our trip. Would definitely come back again.

Yolanda and Nico were great! Loved Casa Cielo!

Incredible Airbnb, a lot of our friends got villas nearby and we’re not impressed with theirs after seeing ours. They couldn’t speak highly enough about how much cleaner and nicer ours was for the same price! I’d recommend getting a golf cart for quick and easy access around town - there is a plug-in inside the garage for it! 10/10 - can’t say enough great things about this place!!!

One of our favorite Airbnbs not only Costa Rica but anywhere. Great views, clean, spacious and close to everything. Host was always  quick to respond and helpful

Un casa maravillosa, con vistas espectaculares

Beautiful place; loved the pool most of all. You have to use the balcony to access the second bedroom/bath, just something to be aware of.  But the HOST provided videos and lots of instructions, so important to review them closely for a successful arrival.

Was a great place to stay!!! Has everything you need! Very safe and very clean. Would stay here again and hope to one day!

One of the nicest stays ive had anywhere, absolutely incredible location.  Dreamlike.

Stunning! The pics don’t do this place justice. I’d def stay again.

Anne-Pierre's home was the perfect location for us to get out and explore. The home was well equipped and comfortable. The pool and porch were our favorite places to have a cocktail and watch the sunset after a busy day. You won't be disappointed!

We loved staying here. The views from the patio were incredible. The location is close to playa flamingo and other local beaches but sits on top of a hill so it feels nice and private. Guards and security make this location very safe. Nicholas was very helpful and always available via Whats App. We would love to stay again!

Amazing place, great communication and help during an accident- really appreciated your kindness. Will come back soon.

Super cozy house. You feel good there instantly. Away, and in the middle of everything. Nicolas welcomed us as if we were longtime friends. Bravo

Maison super cocooning. On s’y sent bien instantanément. À l’écart, et au milieu de tout. Nicolas nous a reçu comme si nous étions des amis de longue date. Bravo

Even better than the photos. Beautiful house. Beautiful view. Great location. Pool was amazing. House had everything you needed and more. Great instructions for checking in and follow up from Nicolas. They truly thought of everything. Made for an awesome vacation.

Nicolas was very responsive and helpful! Highly recommended place in an absolutely amazing location…😎

very nice accommodation, private environment and only short distances by car to beaches, shopping and restaurants, Accommodation is very thoughtful and well decorated, well equipped, the night guard is very reassuring, access and departure uncomplicated, we enjoyed the stay and felt comfortable, great view and beautiful sunsets, happy to come back

sehr schöne Unterkunft, privates Umfeld und nur kurze Wege per Auto zu Stränden, Einkauf und Restaurants , Unterkunft ist sehr durchdacht und gut eingerichtet, bestens ausgestattet, der nächtliche Wachdienst ist sehr beruhigend, Zugang und Abreise unkompliziert, wir haben den Aufenthalt sehr genossen und uns wohl gefühlt , toller Blick und schöne Sonnenuntergänge erlebt, gerne wieder

Our stay felt like a retreat.  Especially appreciated the privacy.  It was lovely stay.

Very much enjoyed our family vacation to Playa Flamingo.   The Airbnb was beautiful and the onsite management was fabulous.  My wife and daughters had a wonderful, relaxing vacation.  The front deck in the morning with coffee was sooooo relaxing.  Thank you much!

Beautiful house. I had an incredible experience staying at this Airbnb! The place was exactly as described—spotlessly clean, beautifully decorated, and equipped with everything I needed for a comfortable stay. The bed was super cozy, the Wi-Fi was fast, and the little personal touches (like snacks, local recommendations, and extra toiletries) made me feel right at home.

Great home. Central to everything we wanted to do, hopefully will be back. Very clean and nice. Nicolas answered everything. Thank you !

The house was beautiful as well as the view!! Comfortable beds, well-equipped kitchen and the most pleasant outdoor space. Nicolas is super friendly and responds very quickly to messages.

La maison était magnifique ainsi que la vu!! Les lit confortables, la cuisine bien équipée et l’espace extérieur des plus agréable. Nicolas est super sympathique et répond très rapidement aux messages.

The place was amazing. It was private, had beautiful views and was very nice inside. The pool area was our favourite place to hangout, it was such a nice area. Nicolas was very responsive and went above and beyond for us. Thanks for everything.

I can't say enough about this beautiful place, the view is AMAZING!!! It was just renovated and is absolutely stunning, the pool is awesome and the rooms are great including a large walk-in closet in the master. Communication with Nico was very responsive and they happily accommodated our timing requests. We would stay here again in a heartbeat

Thank you Noel please come back anytime puravida

Great sunset viewing. The pool is exactly what you hope for and the kitchen has everything you need to cook for yourself. This was a great value for what you get. The driveway up is narrow and walking isn’t really a convenient option

The location of this stay is incredible, it’s a quiet area with a wonderful view. The house was very clean and the property is clearly taken care of! Nicolas, the property manager/cohost, was extremely friendly and helpful throughout our stay! He explained everything clearly and was also responsive if we had a question. He helped us book fun activities like an ATV tour, and a river boat ride! He made everything as easy for us as possible! When we return to Costa Rica we will be looking to book here again!

We absolutely LOVED our stay here. Me and my wife were here for our honeymoon and it was the perfect location. Beautiful views. Clean pool. The hosts communicated well and we would definitely recommend. We will be back!

Stayed for 4 nights. Such a beautiful home with big windows, lots of light, and really nice pool. My most favorite is the view from the porch. I spent every morning sipping my coffee and just absorbing the nature. The only 2 downsides were noise at night from the animals on the roof (I guess being in CR, its expected) and shower in the main bedroom that spewed out water outside of the shower on regular pressure, so had to adjust to very minimum pressure to retain water within the shower area. Lastly, the drive is narrow and gravel, and is a place where walkability scores low. You definitely need a car to go grab food/groceries/beach, etc.

So much before, during and after , communication with Anne-Pierre was easy. Nicolas the manager is always at the end of the line if you need information for activities, restaurants, bars etc...The house is in a heavenly, quiet and safe place. The grocery store,the bank,the beach are 3-4 minutes away by car.We spent 5 weeks there with the visit of our children in turn.!Thank you Anne-Pierre for allowing us to have this family experience. We really enjoyed the time spent in your little paradise!!! I would recommend to anyone!!!!

Autant avant, pendant et après , la communication avec Anne-Pierre a été facile. Nicolas le manager est toujours au bout du fil si on a besoin de renseignements pour les activités, restau, bar etc…La maison est dans un endroit paradisiaque, tranquille et sécuritaire. L’épicerie,la banque,la plage sont à 3-4 minutes en voiture.Nous y avons passé 5 semaines avec la visite de nos enfant à tour de rôle.!Merci Anne-Pierre de nous avoir permis de vivre cette expérience en famille. On a vraiment apprécié les moments passés dans ton petit paradis!!! Je le recommande à tout le monde!!!!

My family enjoyed this home very much. The house itself is tucked away in the hills, has a nice touch and was cozy, very bright and clean. It has a luxurious feel to it. The kids loved the pool in the backyard as we spent time cooling off there in the afternoons. The large windows throughout the house offer you wall to wall views of the Marina which was nice. Lots of things inside the house that make you feel at home, stocked kitchen, washer and dryer and some games and we appreciated that. The road to the house is quite narrow, you don’t need a 4x4 but make sure you’re a confident driver. Nicolas was also a great host, very attentive and informative and made sure all of our needs were met. Highly recommended, hopefully we can come back soon! Pura Vida.

Beautiful location with an amazing view of the marina and ocean. Will stay here again in the future

Great place to stay, host was amazing and very responsive. We felt right at home.

The Airbnb was at a beautiful locations over looking Playa Flamingo's hills and beach.  The house was amazing, great accommodations from the negative edge pool, to the furnishings, comfort and safety.  We spent a good deal of time enjoying the views on the patio and pool area.  Great Airbnb and good choice if you are looking to stay near the beach at a small/quaint town.

Would definitely recommend and will return in the future. Fabulous place to stay.

Wonderful location.  Very comfortable after a warm day.  The pool with a view is beautiful and what about the sunsets on the terrace.

Magnifique emplacement.  Très confortable après une journée chaude.  La piscine avec vue est magnifique et que dire des couchés de soleil sur la terrasse.

What a beautiful home! The view is stunning. Everything you'll need for a wonderful week in Costa Rica. This villa is private and secure, contemporary and clean. The pool is wonderful to stay cool on a hot day. We loved our stay!

Great place! Maybe not the easiest to get to, on a hill with narrow road, but so worth the hike! You can beat the view of the sunset! Really doesn’t get better than that. Close enough to the beaches, grocery shop is just down the street and restaurants nearby, so you really have every thing you need for the stay. House is exactly as described by the host, no surprises :). Also Nicholas is super helpful with tips and provides ideas of tours, restaurants, massages etc. Very responsive. We had an amazing time and highly recommend this place.

This is a gorgeous house with a gorgeous view. We loved our stay and enjoyed the time in the house as much as our time at the beach. The beds are comfortable, the place is well-maintained, and it is only an hour's drive from the Liberia airport. I would recommend it to anyone interested in the Playa Flamingo area. One note on beach accessibility--the description says it is a fairly short walk to both beaches, which is true, but it involves walking down the long, steep driveway, and walking along the road, which has no shoulder and looked pretty dangerous to us. We drove and it is very quick, but for those who prioritize walkability, it is not great for that. In every other way it is a fabulous place!

Even more beautiful than in the photos. Every room in the house has such spectacular views. It was clean and nicely decorated with everything you need for a comfortable stay and a great vacation. This was our first trip to Costa Rica and we will absolutely go back. Definitely recommend a four wheel drive vehicle. The beach is about five minutes away and we rented a tent for $20 for the afternoon with ability to buy drinks or take your own. We felt safe and enjoyed the local restaurants and shopping. Nicolas was very helpful and always quick to respond. This was an amazing vacation.

Nicolas was great, very helpful and responsive with any questions that we had. Beautiful place and we had a great time!

Spectacular property perched out over the marina & Pacific Ocean with beautiful pool and huge deck to enjoy the views.

This place is amazing and exactly like pictures! Book it!!!

This is a great central location for the flamingo area with a great view and everything you need inside for a long or short stay.  Very responsive hosts with great recommendations.  Would stay again.

Absolute Paradise! This is one of my favorite homes that I have stayed in. The location was great, but we hardly left the home because it was so fabulous! The house had everything you could hope for…Beautiful view (great to watch the sunset over the ocean), good amenities (fully stocked kitchen, Netflix, AC, laundry room) and very comfortable! It was like we were at a private resort and it was delightful. My husband and I are excited about booking our next trip to Playa Flamingo and staying at this gorgeous home! Highly recommend!!

Casa Cielo had fantastic sunset views in the comfort of your own private oasis. Hosts were very responsive, greet you, and escort you to the house so it is easy to find.

What a great time! My new wife and I chose this house for our honeymoon and the stay was very pleasant! I would suggest going slow on the dirt road leading up to the house to avoid any damages to smaller cars.

Lovely casita beautiful view & super helpful, warm & lovely hosts 🫶🏻

Rgank you Amelia for your stay, please come back with the new family member puravida Nicolas

Had a nice stay. Enjoyed having our coffee out on the deck. Wonderful view of the marina. The private pool was a welcome treat in the afternoons. Nicholas was very accommodating with any request we had.

Thank you Meredith for your comments hope to welcome you again puravida Nicolas

Beautiful spot!! We rented a golf cart and that was a blast. Nicolas was very attentive which made the experience so great. Would definitely stay here again

Hey Nikki thank you so much for your comments it was a a pleasure to assist you puravida nicolas

We spent a lovely week in Playa Flamingo. We hardly left the property because it was so beautiful and relaxing to sit by the pool and watch the views. Nico was an amazing host. Always responsive and proactive. He booked massages for us and had great restaurant recommendations. We visited many of them!  Kitchen was well stocked and the house was very clean. We even enjoyed the friendly kitty who visited most evenings. We would love to come back!

It is just as nice in person. The perfect place to wake up to a sunny morning in Costa Rica. The host were responsive and helpful checking and answering anyway questions. I would definitely repeat.

Wow... Our first trip to Costa Rica was this place! The pictures sold us last spring as we looked for the perfect location, and they were outmatched only by the joy of spending 10 nights there in person. Anne-Pierre told us Nicholas would be able to take care of our local hosting needs and he delivered beautifully. From his fun welcome on his motorcycle, to his warm goodbye on the sad moment of leaving, he answered some local questions during the week and set us up with in house massages and directed us to a private sail with Serendipity. The house is just so great. From the morning bay views via the main bedroom, to the evening sunsets from the balcony, every moment in this home is special. The pool is just too cool! Everyday we noticed a new animal, singing bird or tree that hadn't caught our eye before. We just couldn't stop staring at the hills, ocean and sky... We left this location with deep gratitude and a feeling of "we have to go back!"

Nicolas is amazing. Always ready to help and very responsive. He exceeded our expectations.

The house itself is nice and clean with a very comfortable, king bed and a well-stocked kitchen. But the gorgeous pool area and view from the deck were my favorite features! From the balcony you can see the ocean, beach, and the Marina. It was a great location close to Playa Potrero and Playa Flamingo, but the driveway is steep so it's not super walkable. The neighborhood was quiet and peaceful and there is an overnight security guard. The property manager, Nicolas, was very responsive and guided us to the villa in order to show us how to work the gates and alarm. We enjoyed our stay!

OUr pleasure to host guests like you come back anytime puravida NIcolas

This place was stunning! It was a wonderful private getaway but just minutes from the beach and delicious restaurants. The driveway and parking spot were intimidating at first but we got used to that. The hosts were very helpful and recommended wonderful places to go and eat. They were incredibly responsive and checked in with us about any of our needs.

Thank you again Christine, it would be a pleasure to host you again and again puravida Nicolas

Well, we just loved the house! It was the perfect size and was so bright & comfortable. The views from the deck and the bedrooms are gorgeous. The house was very clean and had the things we needed to make everything easy.  I also like all the decorative touches. Having a washer & dryer came in handy too. I can’t complain at all about this house and the location. I’ve rented 3 other houses in the area in past years, & by coincidence Nicolas was the prop manager for them. He is always just the best, and is there to help when needed. Plus just a cool guy.  I would definitely stay here again.

The house was well decorated. Very beautiful view. There was everything we needed. Was very satisfied. Nicolas, was immensely helpful in every way.

Huset var vel indrettet. Meget smuk udsigt. Der var alt, hvad vi havde brug for. Var meget tilfredse. Nicolas, var enorm hjælpsom på alle måder.

Beautiful place in paradise! Nico was an amazing person to deal with on-site, although since everything was communicated well we didn’t really need much from him. When we did ask him a question (like suggestions for places to eat, visit, etc.) it literally only took him minutes to respond. We were only in this location for 2 days due to our travel schedule, but had the chance to visit Flamingo beach. PARADISE. Parking was simple (on the side of the road) and then there were an array of people to provide you with whatever you needed VERY cheaply. We rented a private shaded canopy with two chairs for $30. There were people selling margaritas, beer, water, souvenirs, and anything else you could want on the beach. Make sure to bring US dollars if you have them! Would definitely recommend.

My family and I enjoyed staying here in Playa Flamingo. The house was beautiful and the view even better than the pictures shown. It had everything we needed for our stay. Nico, the property manager, was great and helped us with coordinating massages and a catamaran. I would recommend a four wheel drive to get around Costa Rica for peace of mind. The road to the house is steep and a little intimidating at first but gets better once you’re used to it.

We stayed 11 nights with our family. (2 adults and 3 children) The villa met our expectations in every way. The swimming pool is very convenient when returning from the beach, the size of the rooms, the level of security, the beauty of the place. We had a great time. The 4x4 is not required to climb the coast. Quite steep but very well paved!

Nous avons séjourné 11 nuits avec notre famille. (2 adultes et 3 enfants) La villa correspondait à nos attentes en tous points. La piscine très pratique au retour de la plage, la grandeur des pièces, le niveau de sécurité, la beauté des lieux. Nous avons eu un super séjour. Le 4x4 n’est pas nécessaire pour monter la côte. Assez abrupte mais très bien pavé!

The house was amazing from beginning to end. Maid came half way thru & took out our trash, replaced towels, etc. Nico was the contact and he was extremely helpful several times with a few different needs. Sunsets were amazing from the balcony. In the evenings the frogs seemed to be laughing with us at every joke or funny thing said. We did see cats, frogs and the tiniest of snakes. No monkeys at the villa this trip but we did see them just down the road. Would stay again in a heart beat.

I am glad you enjoyed your stay, puravida Nicolas

If you are considering this condo, BOOK IT! You will not be disappointed. The condo, the pool, the privacy, the VIEW—it was truly beautiful. We would not hesitate to stay here again. We rented a car and the convenience of being able to drive to different beaches and restaurants was so nice. The house is also on a hill, and I’m happy we didn’t have to navigate that at night. Nico was great—he was able to coordinate and book everything we needed, from ATV excursions to in-room massages to private shuttles. Loved that we would just enjoy our trip.

Thank you so much Faren please consider to come back puravida Nicolas

My best friend and I visited Playa Flamingo and stayed at Anne-Pierre's place for 5 days. We had the best time and loved this villa! The pool was so clean, peaceful and refreshing. The views were amazing to wake up to. Playa Flamingo beach was about a 4 minute drive from the villa. There were many cute restaurants in the area, all within a 5 minute drive. Nico was the property manager and he was extremely communicative. He emailed us a list of activities/excursions and all we had to do was tell him what we wanted to do and when and he organized everything. We were also able to text him and ask for dinner recommendations, and he truly delivered. We had the most amazing stay in this beautiful villa and with the recommendations/assistance by Nico. Side note, we wanted to get away with not renting a car, but once we got there we realized that was not very realistic. I strongly recommend that you rent a car due to the location, steep hill on which the villa is and the lack of sidewalks.

Thank you so much for your comments hope to welcome you again Puravida Nicolas

Very clean and tidy. it was comfortable and felt like home. Having the pool on site was very convenient. The host was very attentive and helped with all the activities and restaurant recommendations. it was a very secure location inside a gated community. the view from the top of the hill was amazing.

We had a wonderful stay at Anne-Pierre‘s house - the views are just awesome, the pool is a great asset as it was really hot. The location couldn’t be better and we felt very safe in the gated community. We will be definitely back. Nicholas also was a great support arranging a trip and a massage at the house for us.

amazing airbnb! better than the photos! highly highly recommend!! we had such a great time staying here.

Beautiful place!!!!  Nicolas was awesome and very responsive.  Helped coordinate all of activities.  Get the in Villa massages, some of the best I’ve ever had.  Breathtaking views and pool was perfect!  Also - bedding was sooooo cozy!

The perfect week away for our 'Girls-Trip'!  The place was BEAUTIFUL, spotless and quiet, yet close lot lots.  Nicolas, the property manager who we were in contact with from the moment of booking t, was incredibly helpful and responsive when we had a minor issue finding our rental car pickup location, and was invaluable throughout the week, offering suggestions of restaurants to try, places to check out and even helping us arrange a private excursion with a local guide to the volcano national park, complete with stopping for lunch at an authentic Cost Rican restaurant for a delicious lunch.  We hope to be back next year!

This place was fantastic. The views were incredible, great vibes by the pool. Everything was clean, A/C was ice cold, and Nico helped us every step of the way and went out of his way to accommodate our flight schedules and provided trusted transportation numbers. Would stay again! Thank you!

Beautiful house, beautiful views and clean. It met my expectations and more. The host was a pleasure. This house wont disappoint.

We spent an all too short week at this lovely AirBnB. Would have loved to have spent more time here. Definitely looking forward to coming back in the future! Casa Cielo absolutely matches the photos and description. The villa is perched high above Playa Flamingo so the views were spectacular; the views of the Pacific Ocean and sunsets were stunning. BTW you don't need a 4x4 to make it up the hill but a high riding vehicle, e.g. SUV is useful for some of the rough roads leading into the many different beaches in the area. The villa was beautifully appointed, very comfortable, and had lots of space to hang out. The kitchen has everything needed for home cooked meals and the local grocery stores are well stocked. We loved the vibe of the area, very relaxed and laid back, beautiful beaches (and there are so many), great restaurants, and people were universally friendly and welcoming. Co-hosts Anne-Pierre & Nicolas were responsive, friendly and very helpful. Pura Vida!!

I love this place! It’s beautiful, comfortable, the kitchen is well equipped and the outside areas and pool are dreamy. Even better than the photos! We didn’t have a car but we like cardio exercise, which we got plenty of as the house is high on a hill. I would recommend a car for most people. I wouldn’t want to try a golf cart there. We could walk to the grocery and Portrero Beach but needed a taxi for Flamingo Beach. Portrero has good restaurants and makes for a nice morning beach walk. Flamingo is a pretty beach and Coco Loco was a nice place to eat there. Margaritaville, not so much. All in all, we loved being there. Thank you for providing such a wonderful place!

Thank you gael for your review, hope to able to meet you again puravida Nicolas

Idyllic in terms of the view, location and service offered by Nicolas, Anne-Pierre and Stéphane ♥️

Idyllique tant au niveau de la vue, de l’emplacement et du service offert par Nicolas, Anne-Pierre et Stéphane ♥️

The property manager Nicolas was very responsive and gave us great advice regarding places to visit and restaurants to eat at. The property requires an SUV because it’s uphill on a fairly narrow winding road, but you get rewarded with a magnificent view!

We had a perfect stay in this wonderful appartment. Great views, close to the beach and excellent restaurants. Communication with Nico was top and so is his guide to beaches and restaurants. We can only recommend this place!

The house and pool are absolutely beautiful. The security measures made us feel so comfortable and safe. Nicolas the property manager was very responsive and helpful - and had fantastic suggestions. I highly recommend this AirBnb!

An unforgettable stay!!!! breathtaking sunset, close to nature, we saw howler monkeys and what to say about Nicolas who takes care of us like a champion for absolutely everything!!!!

Un séjour inoubliable!!!! couché de soleil à coupé le souffle, proche de la nature, nous avons vue des singes hurleurs et que dire de Nicolas qui s'occupe de nous comme un champion pour absolument tout!!!!!

The villa is prefect. Nicolas is a great host, all his recommendations were excellent. We had a great stay at the villa.

This place was somehow even more beautiful than the pictures. Everything was as described and it felt like our own private honeymoon villa - one of the best views of the sunset during our 6 day journey through Costa Rica. The co-host Nicolas was super nice and a great resource for whatever we needed. Thank you, Anne-Pierre and Nicolas!

An amazing stay. I am originally from Costa Rica and this was the first time using an Airbnb in Guanacaste. Will do it again in a heartbeat. LOVED THE PLACE

This property exceeded our expectations and was absolutely perfect. Nicolas was so helpful and provided great restaurant suggestions. The view is breathtaking. If I could give more than 5 stars I would. We will definitely be returning!

We loved our stay here. The house has a beautiful view and everything you need. It is very safe and a close drive to playa flamingo and brasilito. We would recommend this stay to anyone.

merci Lilly, hope you spent a nice moment for your honey moon Puravida

We had a wonderful time at Casa Cielo!!  The view was amazing and very centrally located. We were able to travel to all the surrounding areas every easily. Nicolas was such a great guide and told all the good spots to check out. Thanks for such a memorable trip!!
