BEACHES With 3 miles of coastline within the 4500-acre ranch, there is always a corner, tidepool, or world-class wave to be found. Playa Bonita home of the JW Marriott is a great area to comb the beach for washed ashore treasures and explore tide pools at the low tide. To the north, Playa Langosta is a world-class surfing, beach, and river fishing. We believe Langosta to be the hidden gem of Hacienda Pinilla, the shaded palapas are a great spot for a secluded beach day! Playa Avellanas, home to the Hacienda Pinilla Beach club and 6 World-class surf breaks including private access to famous Little Hawaii as well as the Estero, dead tree, and Lolas.

MOUNTAIN BIKE TRAILS With over 45 kilometers of trails throughout the ranch, forest, and coastline, Hacienda Pinilla is a great location for mountain biking. With natural scenic routes and rigorous trails for every type of bike rider, Hacienda Pinilla offers up adventure, challenge, and enjoyment for families, first-timers, experts, and everyone in between. SURFING Hacienda Pinilla has to be one of the best locations in Costa Rica to base your surf trip. With 6 waves just on Playa Avellanas and private access to the beach breaks of Playa Langosta, you don't even need to leave the ranch, but if you looking to explore the area, the famous Playa Negra reef breaks are just 10 minutes south and the river mouth and beach breaks of Tamarindo just 10 minutes to the north.

Not great restaurant options near by but we got a chef three nights which was great. Beach club is nice however there are no beach chairs there. They nicely allowed us to use some we found in the garage but would be good to add to the house. ##### Lori A.

I love the layout of the house with a well thought out kitchen (and great appliances conducive to my cooking) and dining room looking onto the inviting and secluded pool and patio. The bedrooms are super spacious and the outdoor showers are a special Costa Rican touch. It’s a perfect place to relax, do a little work (super fast wifi), and return to after a day of surfing. ##### edan m. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kelley O., Doylestown 28 Jun 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Sanctuary Indeed!

I cannot say enough about how amazing this property was. First, the propery is gorgeous and is exactly as the description mentions, so much space and amenities. Second, the location is top notch, the community has a ton to do, from the beach club to the JW Marriott facilities to the golf course. Third, the owners' communication made everything so easy. They were able to answer every question about groceries, activities and dining. They were simply amazing. What a great week! One tip if you rent a car is to have a vehicle that can handle some bumpy roads. The roads outside Hacienda Pinilla are definitely in a state of repair. ##### Andrew S.

Housekeeper and Joel the manager were great! We had a wonderful time and would return. The location, layout, overall accommodations were great and we would definitely return! Since this is a brand new property - a few minor suggestions. Either open the owners closet or add a dresser to the other primary bedroom. Also, a couple extra lawn chairs on property and a few beach chairs and umbrellas on hand for use would have been great! ##### Beth S.

We were a group of 10 and had more than enough space for everyone. The suggestions the host provided were excellent, especially the private caterer. We had Chef Gaston cook for us 2 nights, 1 seafood night and 1 Argentinean BBQ night, both were great! We highly recommend! Looking forward to our next visit. ##### Andre W.

This area is by far our favorite place. This beautiful home made our vacation even more special. We are definitely going back and we wouldn’t want to stay anywhere else. It was beyond our expectations. Unforgettable time. Perfect location. Close to the club house. Close to the beach. Surrondered with beautiful garden. It was hard to leave. Highly recommend! ##### SanelaB ### 10/10 Excellent #### Heather B. 13 Oct 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Paradise Absolutely amazing. Very clean, modern and private. Plenty of room for our party of 8 (we didn’t even use one room!). Very responsive to any questions and gave great recommendations. Housekeeping was amazing and breakfast was great. Only downfall is distance! Which is the theme in tamarindo- it takes about 15 minutes to get out of the neighborhood alone. Definitely get a car. We didn’t really use the golf cart as everything was too far so would skip that. Beach club was closed and Marriot charges $150/pp so just used the beach there for free instead. Would definitely stay here again! Tropical getaway! ##### Heather B.

Having the housekeeper there for four hours each day made for a very relaxing time for me. Who usually has to do everything for everyone lol the beach was convenient On the premises. Getting into Tamarindo takes about 25 minutes and The roads have big potholes. We did rent a large van and did purchase the roadside assistance with it and we did need it because we did get a flat tire which was fixed within hours so just some good advice. We would go back in a heartbeat. Our house were very accessible and did everything to make our stay as pleasant as possible. ##### Linda M.

Casa Koa was absolutely amazing! Our family of 9 (6 adults and 3 children) had an incredible time at the property. This house has all the amenities you could ever need and from the moment you walk in you are in awe as it is just absolutely breathtaking. The management company was extremely helpful with recommendations and easy to communicate with. We ended up having Chef Garrett cook a meal at the house one night and that was so worth it. We did the horseback riding tour around parts of the Hacienda Pinilla property and that was really cool going to a more isolated beach which we later accessed in our car. Some of our family also did mountain biking around the property and they really enjoyed that as well. I recommend renting a car to get around the large property as well as to go out. I would definitely recommend this property if staying in the Guanacaste area! ##### Sandra L.

I don’t think we’ve ever stayed at such a beautiful villa before, and the area is beautiful, not to mention convenient for little kids as we had golf carts to get us to the beaches with an easy drive back for naps. Just a few minor things - the wood floor next to the pool under the pavilion is VERY slippery when wet, so much so that the 2 -year-old slipped and hit her head on the floor. Even a few adults fell down. A big safety risk especially for littles. Secondly, while the staff was helpful, communication at times was not fabulous - there were a couple of times where I had to make a request twice before I got a response. Overall, we had an amazing time and would not hesitate to book with Vida Pinilla again. ##### Stacie C. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Bill R. 15 May 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Best experience EVER! We have stayed in numerous STR's around the World. This one is the BEST we have EVER experienced, by far! Home exceeded our expectations set by online listing. Yuli, our personal Housekeeper, was fantastic. Very Friendly. She cooked our Family an amazing breakfast every morning and then immediately thoroughly clean the home. Property contacts, Mergie and Joel, were readily available for any questions we had. Communicated well and prompt on every question. We really enjoyed all the amenities offered in the community (Hacienda Pinilla), especially the Beach Club and beaches. Very convenient easy to experience many of the activities in Guanacaste region. We highly recommend Casa KOA to anyone desiring an incredible vacation. We hope to visit again soon and will definitely share with Friends. ##### Bill R.

The property was amazing from the moment you walk through the door. Everything you would expect from a vacation home was easily delivered. Joel the property manager and Mergie were excellent and always eager to answer any questions and concerns we would have. The design and layout of the house was perfect. Pool amazingly refreshing! The beds were beyond comfortable and slept like a baby every night. Lol We visit Hacienda Pinilla 2-3 times a year. Thanks again for everything we will be back! ##### Raymond R.
