About this villa rental
The villa was completely reconstructed in 2011 and improved Feruary 2019.
The house is on a rock, 20m above the ocean and has stairs which create a direct access to the famous white sand beach of Flamingo (the real Flamingo beach, also called playa Blanca).
The entire property is very private and protected against prying eyes. Also it is very safe. All buildings are protected by alarm systems and there are cameras mounted all around the property. We never had any problems!
From the terrace one will enjoy wonderful sunsets and if you are a little lucky you can observe wales crossing the bay. One can also enjoy the view from the inside living area. The big European isolated windows keep 99,9% of UV rays outside.
The house also contains a swimming pool, which runs on very little chlorine. Because of the so called “infinity edge” the pool seems as if it is a part of the ocean, making an almost seamless blend between the swimming pool and the water of the ocean, especially when the winds are calm. The pool also has a raised Jacuzzi attached to it, with a waterfall cascading down into the pool, generating a source of calming sound against the thunder of the ocean waves.
The property also contains two double story units, one used as a guestroom. On the wall right next to it, one can sometimes spot the occasional iguana lying in the sun (usually only in the early morning). On the other one a roof access has been built. From there one can enjoy all the beauty that Flamingo has to offer.
The outside terrace also has a big 50+ inch TV, so in the evening (which comes quite early in Costa Rica), one can enjoy such entertainment without being confined to the inside of the house. On the terrace there are also deck chairs for easy sunbathing whenever one feels the need to.
In general, the house is very open. The celling in the living room is around 8 meters high. Almost every room has big windows which can also be used as doors. In this way, one can generate enough airflow to not have to use the AC. This helps with the acclimatization process and will make ones experience of Costa Rica much more enjoyable.
New we did add another 2 bedroom with king size beds in the mainhouse.
This gives advantages to younger children because they can sleep close to their parents. In total 3 bed rooms are in the main house.
Now we improved the terrace and the pool. Please see the additional pictures.
The pool was modified, size 10m x 3,5m (33 ft x 11,5ft).

The host is very responsive. The house is absolutely beautiful and has everything you need. The location is perfect and walkable to a lot of restaurants. Every night we had a spectacular sunset! The housekeeper is so sweet and does a fabulous job! Thank you Yesenia! We will definitely be back.

Our family of surfers and seekers of quiet and awesome beaches gave this stay a 10/10. The home had everything we wanted and needed. We loved our family getaway. Highly recommend Sunset Villa!
6 / 10Average·Feb 2026
The owner was responsive and made efforts to address issues as they arose, which we appreciated. However, the overall experience did not align with the number of five-star reviews this property has.Throughout our stay, ongoing maintenance and functionality issues occurred. The coffee maker did not work on our first morning and had to be replaced. Several electrical outlets either did not work or were too loose to hold plugs, including outlets by the beds. Paper towels listed as provided were not available upon arrival and required multiple follow-ups.The primary bedroom air conditioning was not functional when we arrived and ultimately required a full replacement. While this was resolved the following evening, we had already moved rooms and unpacked not knowing how long it would take to resolve. Contractors were coming in and out during our stay, including during a pool day. The bedroom we relocated to had an AC unit that made loud popping noises all night, and a contractor was in that room for several hours the morning of our checkout replacing it.
Additional issues included toilets not flushing properly, lamps missing light bulbs, remote controls with dead batteries, a fan that repeatedly stopped working, and a hot tub that did not function at all.Overall, the home is quite outdated and didn't meet expectations for a “luxury villa” at this price point. While repairs made during our stay may benefit future guests, our experience fell below expectations. Great location
