Casa Serena - Ocean View 3 BR House - Houses for Rent in Flamingo, Guanacaste, Costa Rica

The house is everything you imagined! Great location with beautiful views, it’s even more equipped than you could imagine, the kitchen is fantastic with absolutely everything you need. It has cooler, towels and chairs you can take to the beach! The host Alexandra was always responsive to any need or question we had. The place is safe and secure so you can enjoy your vacations with any worry! I will for sure stay again in this perfect place

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re thrilled to hear you enjoyed the house, its location, and all the amenities. We’ll be sure to share your kind words with Alexandra as well. It was a pleasure hosting you, and we look forward to welcoming you back!

Amazing clean and modern place to stay. With an amzing view of the ocean. Reccomend.

We really enjoyed our stay. The location was great and definitely enjoyed the private aspect. The sunset views by the pool were beautiful. The blue zone team was great and responsive and helpful with tips and booking tours for us. We will definitely also miss Pete the cat. Overall highly recommend and would come back again.

The best house I've ever rented on Airbnb! And the best host, Alexandra! I received excellent service from Alexandra from the time I booked. The house is even more beautiful than the photos. The kitchen is very well equipped, the view is spectacular, and the rooms are spacious and very comfortable, each with its own bathroom. We did the trails, which are highly recommended. Even walking around the entire complex is worth it. The beaches are very close. Pete the cat is very polite and respectful. If you're going with children who like cats, that's a plus! We went to Flamingo, the Marina and the Catalinas! Barbecue on the grill by the pool ❤️, and spectacular sunsets from the terrace. But what I appreciate most is the service from Alexandra, the best host on this platform that I've ever met, very friendly and helpful. Now this house is going to be our favorite place!!!

La mejor casa que he alquilado por Airbnb! Y la mejor anfitriona Alexandra! Recibí un excelente trato por parte de Alexandra desde que reserve, la casa es aún mas hermosa que las fotos, la cocina muy bien equipada, la vista espectacular, los cuartos espaciosos y muy cómodos con su propio baño cada uno, hicimos los senderos, súper recomendados, incluso caminar por todo el complejo vale la pena, las playas muy cercanas. Pete el gato es muy educado y respetuoso, si van con niños que les gusten los gatos es un plus! Fuimos a Flamingo, la Marina y las Catalinas! Asado en la parrilla junto a la piscina ❤️, y unos atardeceres espectaculares desde la terraza. Pero lo que mas agradezco es el trato de Alexandra la mejor anfitriona de esta plataforma que he conocido, muy amable y atenta. Ahora esta casa va a ser nuestro lugar favorito!!!

Beautiful house, incredible view, very friendly host, thank you for the stay

casa hermosa, vista increíble, la anfitriona muy amable, gracias por la estadía

We had a lovely stay overall, great location we got to meet Pete the Cat and explore beaches. Thanks for hosting! A few things worth noting for future guests: Upon arrival, there were some small pieces of trash around the property (plastic bags, food remains, a broken screen protector). The pool was only cleaned a day after we had arrived. Minor, yet not the nicest of surprises considering the price of the location. Our biggest concern was a camera positioned in a way that appeared to face one of the showers. Even if the final field of view doesn't directly capture the shower area, guests deserve to feel fully comfortable and private. We raised this via message but it was ignored. We'd strongly encourage the host to reposition or cover it with frosted/tempered glass. The electricity and water went out twice over three days, which we understand may be out of the host's control; just a heads up. The ACs weren't functioning well, though Alexandra proactively informed us.

Super recommended the house is beautiful and very safe

We loved the house! We spent a few wonderful days in FLIA. Modern, comfortable, the infinity pool overlooking the ocean, super clean and with all the amenities we like: grill, beach towels and much more. I recommend it 100%. We will be back!

Nos encantó la casa!! Pasamos en FLIA unos días maravillosos..Moderna, cómoda ,la piscina infinita con vista al mar, súper limpia y con todas las comodidades que nos gusta: parrilla, paños para llevar a la playa y mucho más. La recomiendo 100%. Volveremos

Fantastic villa in the hills with great ocean view from all rooms. Was even better than expected. The kids and we as well, loved the pool. The space in the house was modern, comfortable, spacious and luxurious. We loved our stay of three nights with a family of 5. Close to Brasilito and short drive to Tamarindo. 100% recommended!

We're thrilled you loved your stay at our vacation rental! Thank you for choosing us. Your satisfaction is our priority, and we can't wait to welcome you back for another incredible vacation with Bluezone Experience! Pura Vida

The house was beautiful,  the pictures don't do justice.  It has an amazing ocean view and everything you need to have a great time.  They thought about everything! Alexandra was amazing and always responsive and helpful! Would definitely stay there again!

We're thrilled you loved your stay at our vacation rental! Thank you for choosing us. Your satisfaction is our priority, thank you for choosing Bluezone Experience and we hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back for a more exceptional stay in the future.Pura Vida

Beautiful House with Ocean View. Private and secure place. Great location very close to beaches.

Hermosa casa con vista al mar. Lugar privado y seguro. Excelente ubicación muy cerca de playas.

Muchas gracias. Esperamos recibirlos de nuevo muy pronto, hasta entonces... ¡Pura Vida!  Blue Zone Experience Team

Very nice place, the place is better than the pictures.  The kitchen is very well equipt.   The place is about 20 - 30 min from many nice beaches.  The place comes with some beach gear that was very useful during our stay.

Thank you so much for your stay.  We are looking forward to having you back with us soon., until then...Pura Vida!  The Blue Zone Experience Team

The house was beautiful and was just as described on Airbnb! I loved the house but Alex honestly made our visit so much more amazing! She was such a great help and resource for all of us for everything! She helped us book a local cook, who we loved! She also helped us book on sight massages in the home! I even left my passport in the Airbnb after we checked out and the Airbnb was an hour from the airport, Alex got someone to bring me my passport! Please book this house, not only is it gorgeous but how personable Alex is makes it so much better! Pura Vida

Thank you so much for your stay.  We are thrilled to hear we helped you to have a great time.  We make our best effort to make you feel as comfortable as it was your home.  Looking forward to having you back with us soon, until then...Pura Vida!  The Blue Zone Experience Team

The stay was great. The photos of the stay were exactly as pictured. We had an insect and scorpion issue the first couple of days, and the property manager, Alex, was great with coordinating cleaning and fumigation of the place while we were out on excursions and even assisted with booking some of the excursions! The last few days there were no critter issues and I made some great memories with friends while celebrating my 30th birthday here.

While this is a relatively new build with a lovely primary view, we would not stay here again. There are two houses under active construction a stone's throw away, complete with porta potties and heaps of garbage. The details are lacking — cheap synthetic sheets, crappy pots and pans, hardly any amenities (I'm talking two garbage bags and three crusty pucks of detergent for the dishwasher kind of vibe). We have stayed in lovely homes for significantly less money in Costa Rica that were warm and welcoming with ample thoughtful, locally sourced amenities. This house lacks personality and feels sterile — not worth the money spent.

Thank you so much for your feedback. We’re very sorry your stay was not as expected. We have addressed many of your concerns now since receiving your feedback. We would have loved the opportunity to address any issues earlier during your stay. We have worked with the community HOA to ensure enforcement of tidy work sites. The neighbouring properties have been cleaned up, as well as a privacy fence erected around the projects. The cleaning staff have been moved for retraining and a new crew assigned, as well as some of the amenities have been upgraded. The Playa Flamingo area is one of the most expensive locations in Costa Rica, especially over the Christmas Holidays. Guest feedback is always valuable and we appreciate it very much. Thank you

Casa Serena was the perfect house for our relaxing trip. The view throughout the day and the sunset hours were gorgeous. We also really enjoyed how close we were to town and to Gracia Restaurant. As others have mentioned, there are homes under construction very close by, it wasn't  a huge issue, but it's something to consider.

Casa Serena is a beautiful home and our family of 5 enjoyed our time there. A few thing to note: WiFi was not reliable, very hilly neighborhood with difficult accessibility to on site restaurant and gym. Recommend renting a car as taxis are expensive and golf carts are not readily available due to steep terrain. Otherwise the pool, the view and overall accommodations are wonderful. 30 mins from Surfing/shopping town of Tamarindo and the fishing out of Playa Flamingo was excellent. Highly recommend having any fresh catch cooked at Coco Loco restaurant in Playa Flamingo.

Beautiful view from this clean and comfortable home! Loved the layout and amenities. WiFi was out when we arrived, but someone came within in minutes and had it restored. There is construction nearby,  which I was concerned about, but it didn’t bother us at all. If I were to build a vacation home, this is exactly what I would want!

Pura Vida!! The house itself is lovely. The view is impressive, Mar Vista is delightful and the walking tails are very cool.  BUT the house is surrounded by construction.  There are three homes being built within a stones throw. Construction begins at 6:50am and wraps up at 4:50pm six days per week.  It will be the perfect spot in about two years. Until then, if you are looking for tranquility during the day, this is not your spot

Thank you so much for your stay. We are very pleased to hear we helped you to have a great time. Please keep in mind we have more units available, we will be glad to help you with something similar if this house isn't available on the dates that are suitable for you. Looking forward to having you back with us soon, until then...Pura Vida! The Blue Zone Experience Team

The pictures do not do this place justice. We had an amazing time the location is perfect very close to all the major beaches and towns with restaurants nearby. If you stay in the flamingo area try papaya great restaurant. The house was beautiful clean throughout we had an excellent experience

Excellent location!  Beautiful home with a top notch restaurant on site.  The views from the house and the restaurant are unbelievable!  Will be back again.

Hidden gem amazing place amazing view had all the essentials you would need if you were wanting to cook at the house to grilling on the back porch and relax pool side also beach towels & chairs if you were heading to the beach..all the bedrooms had there own bathroom..A great place to stay felt just like home I did not want to leave!!!

Muchas gracias por hospedarse con nosotros. Estamos muy felices de escuchar que todo resultó de acuerdo a sus expectativas.  Esperamos recibirlos de nuevo muy pronto, hasta entonces... ¡Pura Vida!  Blue Zone Experience Team

The pictures do not do casa Serena justice. We were all in heaven all week. The view is incredible, close to flamingo, Brasílito and conchal beaches. Nothing is really walking distance but all very close. We also had a private chef Luigi one night who was incredible! 10/10 recommend staying here

Thank you so much for your stay.  We are very pleased to hear we helped you to have a great time.  Looking forward to having you back with us soon, until then...Pura Vida!  The Blue Zone Experience Team

The home is beautiful, the location is wonderful, and the host was very prompt in responding to our queries/needs.

Expect an exceptional stay in a very beautiful property!

This is a large, extremely clean, nicely air conditioned. Great pool. Great view. Just as pictured. They expertly coordinated a zip line tour for us. We had a great stay. It seems they only respond to messages during business hours, so that is good to keep in mind.

Everything about this experience was just wonderful. From the check in to the check out, it was easy and straightforward. The location was great for our day trips around Guanacaste and the home itself was well appointed and had spectacular views. It was superbly quiet at night and on the weekend. I would definitely seek out this home on another visit to this region.

Pictures do not do this home justice!! We booked Casa Serena for our son's graduation trip during spring break. There were 5 of us including a 15, 18, and 19 year old. We had plenty of space and the outdoor area was our favorite place to eat breakfast and hang out in the evenings. We even heard the howler monkeys one night during sunset. We all enjoyed the pool and the beautiful views of the ocean. The beach was an easy drive (less than 10 minutes). We also loved the food at the restaurant in the community (Gracia) and ate there a couple times. Alejandro and the management company were easy to communicate with and very responsive.

A great view of the ocean with secure access to a lovely, well-appointed home! All amenities included. Comfortable beds and exceptional communication with host. Convenience and luxury!

Flawless place with a infinity pool with a beautiful view. 1 floor but very spacious, excellent for people who cannot be up and down stairs. Secluded location within residential complex with lots of security and absolute tranquility. Close to several beaches around as well as supermarkets or restaurants. Totally recommended👍🏽

Lugar impecable con una piscina sinfín con vista hermosa. 1 solo piso pero muy amplio, excelente para gente que no puede estar subiendo y bajando escaleras. Localización aislada dentro de residencial con mucha seguridad y tranquilidad absoluta. Cerca de varias playas a la redonda al igual que supermercados o restaurantes. Totalmente recomendado👍🏽

We have visited over 30 countries (which translates into a lot of AirBNBs) and this has been one of our favorite places to stay. Everything was superb! Bluewater Properties manages this property and does an excellent job with customer service. As a lawyer and business owner myself, I was beyond impressed with the efficiency of how this property is managed. Additionally, we are looking to purchase property in CR and Bluewater was quick to get back with us on all the questions we had. I highly recommend the villa. From the immaculate accommodations to the exquisite ocean views, you will not be disappointed.

The house is new construction and absolutely beautiful. Very convenient to local beaches and restaurants. There is a detailed book in the house that tells about local restaurants and attractions. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook anything we wanted. The security in the neighborhood was very comforting and the house could be locked up tight. Amazing property in a great area.

This Airbnb was amazing! Everything from the view to the location and the ambience of the home was great. Another plus was it being writing a secure gated community. I’ll definitely be back!

This is a gorgeous house with a great view. Pictures on site are accurate. The house has a lot of amenities. Having a car is convenient as things are not walking distances and the taxi is expensive. Security does not know where the house is after providing the address and house name. Unfortunately, they were unable to help drivers locate the house. To our surprise we had a gardner show up during our stay to do work all day.

Lovely house, great location and view. Very comfortable, easy check in. The only complain is that there is no emergency service after 5pm, so if anything happens/fails by then, you would need to wait till the following day. Besides this, I totally recommend it!
