We rented this place for our wedding in las palapas , this place is spacious and have beautiful sorroundings . it is super well equipped and the rooms and ammenities are great , the terrace and balcony were my favorite spots . the hosts (Dennise and Grant) were really responsive for our requests and allowed us to check in early for a surprise I had the day before the wedding, so I highly recommend them as hosts and the house is a really nice place.

We had a terrific week at this home. It’s super comfortable and well appointed. The owners provided really helpful information about different places to spend our time- all were great! The home was very clean. The housekeeper was so sweet and made a traditional Tica breakfast for us. Hers was the best food we ate all week. We loved spending our mornings on the second story porch with a wonderful breeze. We saw monkeys right from the balcony two different times. The wildlife just around the home is incredible. We had an issue with the lock box when we arrived but given the attention to detail that they show I’m certain it will be fixed before the next visitor. We hope to come back again!

Beautiful and very comfortable Air BnB. Looks just like the pictures. The patio and balcony were the big draw. So lovely to sit outside and enjoy coffee/breakfast on patio, wine/dinner in evenings, sleep in hammock if so inclined. Easy access across the parking lot to community pool. Walk about 5 min to a locked gate (ask Denise or Iriedy to show you the key) to get onto Marriott property and their beach and palapas. If you don’t have the key, you can still access, just a bit longer walk (?10-15 min). Iriedy is a fabulous cook and very sweet. You can specify what days you need her to come if you don’t need her everyday. The place was spotless. We did hear the howler monkeys at sunset. Easiest way to get to the Air BnB is to set your GPS to JW Marriott Guanacaste then take the first left after the Marriott. There will be 2 gates to get through with a QR code that the host (Denise in our case) will give you. Then you use a 4 digit passcode for lockbox.

The villa was exactly as described! It was a bit secluded, but it was exactly what we needed so we didn't mind. The host was extremely responsive, ordered groceries and fresh fish before our arrival so we had everything we needed. The kids loved the pool and spotting the monkeys. We would definitely visit again. Iriedy was absolutely amazing!!

Grant and Denise’s place in Hacienda Pinilla was perfect for our Family of 5. Denise was incredibly helpful and responsive throughout the stay. Helping us with groceries, excursions, toys for the kids and more. Having the daily housekeeper made it feel like vacation and we look forward to returning.

This was an incredible place to stay and we will definitely be back! Pictures don’t do it justice. The unit itself is very spacious, clean, and a perfect layout for a family or several couples traveling together. With 2-porches, it has incredible ocean views and we’d watch daily for monkeys and birds just outside the house. The neighborhood is safe, has an awesome amenities with the Beach Club and surf breaks right out front. Denise/Grant were wonderful hosts and we can’t say more positive things about our trip. We can’t wait to come again soon!

Denise was a great host and overextended herself in welcoming us, ordering groceries for us, and making sure all of our questions were answered. The region is a bit more isolated than we expected. A car is definitely needed just to do basics such as try different restaurants, get groceries, etc. this isn’t on the house, but more that we didn’t have a lot of time to plan based on our desire for a walkable low lift beach vacation. The home and staff in the home were enjoyable and very helpful with meals. Would definitely recommend the home and Denise as a host.

Wow! This place is amazing. Has everything you need and in a location that’s pretty magical. Exceeded my expectations big time. Fam loved the pool and we usually had it all to ourselves. Wildlife was next level here. Kids saw so many cool animals. Access to all of my favorite beaches and surf spots. The house manager Andreina was so responsive to our needs and made some fantastic food for us. Very hard to leave this place. Will be coming back soon.

We loved our stay here. We were close enough to get into Tamarindo but far enough to have the peace and quiet of the Hacienda estate. 3-4 private beaches all walkable, horseback riding on the estate and incredible restaurants. The house was beautifully appointed and the cleaning service so friendly and helpful. It is a perfect place for families. The hosts provided a great deal of local recommendations that were so helpful.
