Alex the house manager was great. Views ##### Lindsey Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 5 Aug 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location #### Lighthouse Great location in a very nice neighborhood. Air conditioning was a little noisy and small issue with the pool. Owner from management company came himself to help with the pool. Overall great experience and nice house. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 5 nights in Feb 2020 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Dennis, Cleveland, Ohio 26 Jan 2020 Disliked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Hilltop Gem The view from the house is stunning and open to all the living spaces. We spent a lot of time on the deck enjoying the breeze. The infinity pool was refreshing after a day at the beach. None of the neighboring houses were near due to the slope of hill. The dramatic design of the house was more impressive than we expected. The house was a great place for the family to gather between trips to see the beautiful countryside and ocean. Our family of 8 agree the Lighthouse is one of the best VRBO properties we have ever stayed at. ##### Dennis Stayed 7 nights in Dec 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Josh R., DENVER, CO 1 May 2019 #### Great House With an Amazing View The house we stayed at was great. The view from the back patio was amazing and the pool was perfect after a long day. The company did a great job in communicating with us. The house was clean when we arrive and Zindis was very responsive if we had an issues at the house. I would definitely recommend a 4WD as the house is on a very steep hill. ##### Josh R. Stayed 7 nights in Mar 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Shea M. 25 Apr 2018 #### Fantastic Views The views, pool/deck, and natural light in this house are fantastic. All the rooms are spacious and the layout is great, although not the best for small kids - tile, lots of steps & dropoffs. The house has some normal rental wear & tear, but all the major things worked as advertised. As others have said, the pictures definitely don't do the views justice. ##### Shea M. Stayed 4 nights in Mar 2018 This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Andrew B. 1 Sept 2017 #### Absolutely Spectacular This house is amazing and the views are better than the pictures. The concierge sets up all your tours and all the transport. If you plan on drinking choose the transport instead of renting a car. The hill to the house is VERY steep so if can't walk well this house may not be for you. My group of 8 had an amazing time celebrating my wife's birthday. This place makes you feel like you're on top of the world. Definitely recommend staying here! ##### Andrew B. Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2017 This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Dan P. 30 Aug 2017 #### Beautiful Ocean View We chose this house for its expansive ocean view and infinity pool and were delighted with the house. It was centrally located to the activities that we wanted to do while we were in Costa Rica. From exploring Ricon, surfing in Tamarindo and hiking Monta Verde. Edgar of the Zindis Group was very responsive to some minor issues that came up during our stay. He was up at the house 5 minutes after our call and fixed the cable/wifi himself. ##### Dan P. Stayed 11 nights in Aug 2017 This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Marc-Antoine C., Canada 6 May 2017 #### Very nice view Villa was amazing for 3 couples. Manager was nice with us. Some cleaning missing for windows, but overal very great! ##### Marc-Antoine C.
