Imagine living as a Costa Rican Don or Doña within a tropical forest surrounded by nature, animals and the ocean.

Our home has a stucco exterior, clay-tile roof, exposed beams, wrought-iron details, 18 foot ceilings and covered veranda. Our home is one of the first and largest luxury homes made in Hacienda Pinilla. All designed with complimenting the local landscape, fauna and traditions.

This property was as it appears in the pictures. Plenty of space for two families of 4, each with young kids. The kitchen had everything we needed, and the bedrooms and bathrooms were spacious and well-maintained. Hacienda Pinilla is a beautiful neighborhood with great amenities. We enjoyed the mountain biking, massages at the beach club, local beach access, and relative proximity to Tamarindo. Not to mention the monkeys who cruised through the backyard each afternoon and the well-maintained private pool. All excellent! Our only complaint was that the house had not been cleaned when we arrived after our long travel days. When we contacted the property manager about the lack of cleaning, she came over immediately during the dinner hour on a Monday with two cleaners to fix things up for our first night. The crew then came back the next day and cleaned everything thoroughly. The owner also comped us the night's stay, which we felt great about. The property manager then left us a nice bottle of wine later in the trip. It seemed like this was very much an anomaly for this house, as evidenced by the prompt and professional response and reactions of both the property manager and the owners. We would have reviewed this property with all five stars but for the initial hiccups.

I would give this a 5 star rating for the house and property if we didn't have so much trouble with the concierge team and there was a broken shower head mount. The house, layout, outdoor living, backyard, pool and landscaping was awesome. It was close to a beach with tide pools and we liked the other beaches in the community. I also appreciated the few beach toys available for guest. Make sure to get a rental car and not a beach cart otherwise you are stuck in the gated community and the only dining option is the beach club which is overpriced and staff was rude. We couldn't drive to Lola's but we ended up parking at beach club and walking on the beach to get there. We had trouble with the concierge team. Everything we booked with that group was not executed to plan and I felt like I had to manage them to get resolution so it would have been easier to book myself (we did for a few things that went great). If you can, check out Native's Way for a sea turtle tour. It's not too far away and you can see baby green sea turtles leave their nest and enter the ocean and momma sea turtles make a nest and lay their eggs. Make sure anything you book outside the concierge that requires transportation is communicated to the concierge or you will have to walk a distance to the gate for pick up.

We had an amazing stay at this property! The house is welcoming and very well stocked, a great home base from which to explore the surrounding area. The backyard balconies and pool area are a private tropical retreat and served as a center point for countless gatherings and relaxation. A short stroll to the beach provides amazing walks, tidal pool exploration and beautiful sunsets. The property owner and manager were very responsive and provided a great resource for planning outings and dining options. But perhaps the best part of the stay was the troop of Howler Monkeys that frequent the property and provided daily entertainment. Overall fantastic experience. Thanks to David, Natalia, Jaime, and Fabian.
