About this house rental
This breathtaking beach front estate is truly one-of-a kind. Casa Playa Bonita or 'home on the pretty beach' was given its name by our two sons. This luxury home is 5,500 square feet. It has 5 bedroom suites, each with a private bathroom, making this home a perfect place for entertaining and accommodating multiple families. Each suite has a view of the beach and opens to the outdoor courtyard area and pool. The outdoor courtyard is made up of a large tiled area for lounging and a pool that accommodates all ages and activities. The shallow shelf pool is perfect for floating and sunning in the water or for little ones to play. The main pool is great for swimming laps, water aerobics, or just playing around. The enormous Jacuzzi has lots of seating including lounge seats for the ultimate foot or neck massage as you overlook the beach.
Casa Playa Bonita consists of 2 wings. The main wing is made up of 2 bedroom suites (each with a king bed), a gourmet kitchen, living room/dining room, private bathroom, maid's quarters, laundry facility with 2 washers and dryers, an outdoor grilling area and poolside bathroom. The second wing consists of 3 bedroom suites (2 suites with queen beds and 1 suite with 2 twin beds). One of the queen bedrooms and the twin bedroom have an optional adjoining feature to provide flexibility for families with children.
If you don’t want to venture too far from the property, our home will provide you with the ultimate place to rest and relax in the lap of luxury. The home is constructed with custom finishes and furnishings and incorporates the beautiful wood and stone of Costa Rica with elegant style and design.
Additionally, we are extremely fortunate to have an amazing couple who work to take care of our home. Herman and Blanca are a married couple that tend to the home. They speak only Spanish but Blanca has been working on her English skills and we seem to understand each other pretty well without a translator. Herman and Blanca come daily and will see to every detail of making your stay relaxing, comfortable, and carefree.
We offer a private host/concierge who speaks both English and Spanish. They will work with you prior to your trip to arrange transportation details, excursions, chefs, stock-your-fridge, etc. Additionally, they will greet at the house upon your arrival and will be at your service for your entire stay.
Our home is nestled in a beautiful setting of trees where Howler monkeys come to play. We often see families of them in the trees as we play in the pool. Our children eat mangoes from the trees and pull fresh limes as needed when we make fresh ceviche or guacamole. We have a one 2 man sea kayak and two single man sea kayaks as well as boogie boards that add to the adventure. We delight in the ability to rest and refresh ourselves in our beautiful Costa Rican home. We know you'll love it, too!!
We offer free long distance through a Vonage line that allows you to call the US for free. Handicapped Accessible (may have limitations): Two of the suites and the main house are all on one level. There are 3 shallow steps going from the main entrance to that level.

The most outstanding vacation we have ever taken. The home is beautiful and at a perfect location. All bedrooms are very private. The staff, from Glennis to Blanca and Herman are wonderful. Glennis arranged side events for us, ziplining, horseback riding, sunset cruise, paddle boarding, snorkeling, and deep sea fishing. All were a perfect fit for our 10 people. A real highlight was Dania, our private chef! Meals were five star and she made sure the selections were our choosing. This is a five star home. I highly recommend!

The overall experience was first class. Lisa is a great host and facilitated the process on the front end. She is very attentive and responsive. She set up a call with us to answer any questions and provide any recommendations prior to arriving at Casa Playa Bonita. Lisa handed us off to Glennis, our concierge, who was very helpful with setting up our itinerary for the week. She's a local, so she has all the contacts and helped coordinate transportation, fishing, ziplining / horseback riding tour, dinner reservations, a chef to prepare meals at the house, etc. She was there to greet us and continued to support us every step of the way, including making a few changes and additions to the itinerary while on location - thanks for being patient with us Glennis! The house is beautiful and has all the amenities you want and need (kayaks, pool floats, cable TV, fast internet, full kitchen and appliances), an awesome pool with a jacuzzi, and it's just steps away from the beach. Can't beat the location in Playa Flamingo. Blanca and Herman rounded up the experience making sure the place is clean and kept up. We typically travel to Mexico, but we are glad we ventured to CR and hit the jackpot at Casa Playa Bonita. Can't wait to go back!

I hosted a corporate retreat last week, staying here for 4 nights. The house is beautiful and a near-perfect location. The property is raised a bit off the beach, which gave us the privacy we had hoped and a great view up Playa Flamingo. Everything is within walking distance! If it were left to just the Villa and location, it would be 4 or 5 stars. Here's why its 3-stars.
First, the ice maker broke. I was hosting 5 couples for our annual kick-off to the company's new year and celebration of last year. Having to go get bags of ice is neither convenient nor desirable, especially when we've run out early in the evening.
Second, we ran out of the bottled water supplied by the house on the second day. Maybe not such a big deal, but we learned of it right as dinner was being served. I guess I missed it in the contract, but I was then notified that the Villa only provided 1 5-gallon bottle to drink. Had I known or been notified prior, I could have made arrangements. At this point, were out of water AND ice, and it was only the second day. I was told that the faucet water was safe and fine, and perhaps it was, but its not something that I wanted to hear.
Third, the hot tub was broken upon arrival. It barely got above the temp of the pool. I was told that it was because of the sea air that the water couldn't be heated very high. Another bummer! I've spent A LOT of time in the mountains and never ran into the issue of a hot tub not being able to be heated due to the air. Service arrived the third day and fixed it. The hot tub was hot. Very hot! Like Bugs Bunny carrot and potato stew hot and we were unable to use the final night.
Chef Roy cooked 2 nights and was great! The meals were fantastic and their service was impeccable!!! Highly recommend him if you're thinking it. We found the breakfast options fine and the staff did a good job, however, it was a bit pricey as it was nothing special. The staff did a great job with the upkeep while. They're supposed to be there 8-4p, but we found that not to be the case, as it did cause an issue for breakfast one morning, which was added to our bill.
Its a great place! However, it did come with some disappointments. Nothing's perfect, but we expected more. Planning thru the Villa's company was confusing at times and a little frustrating, but they were great with setting reservations at restaurants.
