Spectacular views, all the necessities, well stocked kitchen, awesome patio/pool space where we spent every evening hanging out, grilling while the kids (and adults) played in the pool. House manager was attentive and friendly. Would absolutely stay here again. ##### Carrie S.

Everything is well maintained and taken care of. The communication between the host and us was superb to say the least. Alex is without question the very best in Costa Rica. If you have any questions or need something he is there to help you either in person or via phone. I would highly recommend this property. You will not be disappointed in any way. ##### Mike M. Stayed 10 nights in Jan 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Leslie M. 7 Apr 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Your own piece of paradise The title says it all. We spent a week in March at this property with 4 adults and 2 kids and it was completely amazing. Not only did it have a breathtaking view of the ocean and of the incredible sunsets each night, the house was comfortable, cool, and quiet. Bonus points for having air conditioning units in each bedroom. We spent hours in the clean refreshing pool before and after activities. The property is about 10 minutes from the beach and amazing restaurants and a short drive to hiking, animal sanctuaries, and all the various adventuring of Costa Rica. I will also never forget wandering outside to see howler monkeys in the trees next to the driveway. The property manager was extremely responsive and helpful. Costa Rica is a magical place and this rental is a perfect place to experience it. ##### Leslie M. Stayed 8 nights in Mar 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Janet W. 21 Feb 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, listing accuracy #### Lovely home no hot water The six of us really love the house. We were there for eight days and not one time. Did we have a warm shower no much water pressure. The property manager did their best and even installed a new hot water heater, which failed to heat the water. Luckily it was beautiful weather in the pool was refreshing. The previous renters had broken a table and chairs that were just stored to the side of the house so we did not have that upstairs on the balcony. It’s a very nice home but it does need some updates. ##### Janet W. Stayed 8 nights in Jan 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Julie R. 26 Feb 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Perfect home for family or friends getaway The layout of this home was perfect for our getaway with friends, as each couple/family had their own bedroom and ensuite. The upstairs has a kitchenette and a dining table, which was suitable for those of us who were up early and/or needed a quiet space to work. The downstairs has a more substantial kitchen, a dining area, and leads straight out to the pool deck, so this was our group gathering space. The house is located at the end of a long narrow road, and you will need to drive everywhere, but the location is very quiet and away from the hustle and bustle, with little traffic going by. It is also high up on the hill, so you enjoy beautiful views and breezes There were a few challenges and missing items when we first arrived, but Damian quickly addressed them all, and we were able to enjoy our week away with friends. ##### Julie R. Stayed 4 nights in Feb 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### John K. 28 Aug 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Perfect stay in a beautiful house!! So, we rented this 4-bedroom house as well as the 5-bedroom house up the hill for a family reunion of 17 people. Yes, that is a whole lot of people to coordinate! This home housed 7 young adults and we all had plenty of room and privacy. This house is perfectly configured - every couple or solo guest had their own bathroom, every room has an incredible view and access to outdoor space, and the common area was spacious and comfortable!! The pool and patio were a hit - providing lots of different places for family members to hang out. The kitchen and kitchenette were well stocked and spacious and provided the perfect place to gather for snacks while the cooks in the family prepared meals. The large sliding doors provided amazing views from inside the living and dining room, and the view from the pool was to die for!! On top of ALL this, the Zindis team was the absolute best. They were responsive, helpful, and caring throughout our stay. In particular, Bryan helped us negotiate great excursions - he helped the entire group of 17 with zip lining, horseback, and hot spring adventures, he negotiated a very luxurious boat for 12 of us to go fishing, and he helped get two of our guests to San Jose safely. All of these complicated logistics meant that I kept bothering Bryan, but he was so kind and generous with his time. This house PLUS Zindis made our family reunion so special. Thank you!!! ##### John K. Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2024
