Other Things to Note
Located in the Hacienda Pinilla’s Dulce Vida community, you’ll also have access to a 4,500-acre wildlife refuge property that has 3 miles of secluded pristine beaches, great surfing, world-class golfing, tennis courts, pickleball, and an outstanding horseback riding facility. Nearby, there are plenty of activities to enjoy, including world-class fishing, zip lines, ATV tours, scuba, snorkeling (3 minutes down on our beach), turtle tours, and howler monkey sightings often right in our backyard.
Scarlet Macaws fly through the area, and walking trails abound, as well as a large network of mountain bike trails throughout the development. The iconic surf town of Tamarindo is 15-20 minutes away, offering outstanding dining, cafes, eco-tours, and shops. The JW Marriott and the Hacienda Pinilla Beach Club are also part of the facilities of this high-end community.
La Dulce Vida is a low-density community with private security 24/7, water wells and tanks, first-world infrastructure, and is located between the golf course and a protected forest area, with the beach on the west side of the community. Privacy and security, plus an amazing natural setting, make this a must-see for the discerning buyer.
Guanacaste is also home to one of Costa Rica's two international airports. Located in Liberia, the Daniel Oduber International Airport receives many non-stop direct flights from major U.S. cities. Just a short 2 to 3.5-hour flight from many U.S. airports, Guanacaste is an easy destination. Once on the ground, most tourist resort locations are less than an hour's drive, making it one of the closest tropical tourist destinations in Latin America.

The house is stunning and was great for families with children. The house mom was kind, made lunches for our kids and even offered to wash all our dishes and boil bottles when the dishwasher was broken. All of the beds were comfortable and the place was clean, however, it is farther from town than we were expecting (about 40 mins). We opted out of town most nights and rode he golf cart around the neighborhood. One rule we didn’t anticipate was the AC is not able to be turned ed below 74. The concierge was very helpful in planning an amazing vacation filled with tours and extra touches

Absolutely beautiful home located directly on a volcanic rock beach. Some of the most stunning sunsets we've seen anywhere in the world. Three giant master suites, all with water views, so nobody gets a bad room. Two golf carts provided for bumping around the little community. Housemom makes breakfast for everyone, can help the kids sort out a simple lunch, and then cleans the house each afternooon. Concierge was very helpful with dinner reservations, questions, etc. A few tips if you visit this lovely spot: You'll probably want a rental car (or two) because there isn't a lot to do within the gates of the community, and car service for trips outside the gates is expensive. Accessing the beach club is $45 per person, per day, and the other beaches are quiet and beautiful, but without shade or services. We loved Lola's (15 minute drive), which had great food, umbrellas and chairs on the beach (reserve in advance), surfing and rental boards, and an overall excellent vibe.

My family and I truly enjoyed our stay. The property is beautiful — the pictures are accurate yet understated. The outdoor living space is fantastic. We had a blast. The entire Costa Rica Concierge team was very accommodative and helpful throughout our stay. They recommended great local restaurants and were crucial in arranging transportation. We look forward to returning soon and working with them again.

This place was beyond expectations! The house was amazing, house had everything plus more. Monkeys in your backyard were a highlight. Easy access to beach with a short mile walk to Tamarindo on the beach. Brenda was a great host and always responded and scheduled all of our tours, food deliveries and shuttle needs to town. Our most favorite part of the stay was the housemom, ISA. Words can't describe how amazing she was. Her cooking was so good, breakfast and lunch were better than the restaurants. She takes whatever is in the fridge and makes her stuff! So tasty! We will definitely be coming back here in the future! Thank you to the owners for providing such a beautiful home for us to stay in. Pura Vida
