"This couldnt have been a better location and view. We really enjoyed watching the flocks of parrots, and couldnt believe my eyes when I looked out and saw whales,right in front of the condo in the bay. Really loved that we could walk to easy food, as well as great dining. We loved the ease of this place..It was a relaxing vacation. Owners were really helpfull,and we loved having tennis courts, as well as the kyacks.. Our gang rented 2 codos from these owners... highly recommend this lovely property"

"My family and I desperately needed some time away and we found the right place! The accommodations were immaculate and so relaxing. It was like being at a home away from home. We are looking forward to our next family vacation there next year!"

"If you are looking for a place on the ocean, this is IT! we literally walked out the door and were on a beautiful, secluded beach. we took our little cooler out almost everyday and just lounged and enjoyed the beautiful scenery. The sailboats dock just around the corner, so its great to watch them come in everyday! and as a bonus, the fisherman come that way too, so if you want fresh fish- I mean still swimming, you just catch those guys when they come off their boats! Plus, this place has at least 4 pools, and has a great bar and restaurant if you want to mingle and meet some great people! We loved the monkey bar, and we even got to play a little tennis! Ask Tim for some pointers- he's great! Kathie was great at recommending some great restaurants (Mar Y sol for a nice night out, Outback jacks for someplace laidback), and we loved the zip line canopy tours that we booked through the hotel. Flamingo beach (the famous blue flag beach) was just a short walk, but we loved our little "private" beach so much, we stayed there most of the Watch out for the iguannas. They will eat your fruit. They are very nice though. Overall, this place is wonderful. We can't wait to come back again! Pura Vida!"

"This condo was recommended to me by a friend of mine and I am so glad I listened to her. I normally do not write reviews but the owner maintains such a nice place and we enjoyed staying there so much that I just had to send this in. If you want to get your money's worth out of a Costa Rican vacation, you need to stay here. The condo was clean and well appointed with amazing views and close to wonderful ammenties and activities. We had to save for a long time to afford this so it was so important to us that everything be perfect and we were not disappointed in any way!!! The owner was extremely patient in answering all of my questions and very knoweledgable about the area. Stay here if you want the perfect island get away!!!!!!!!"

"I have traveled to Europe and few other destination spots. I decided this year I wanted to go to costa rica when a friend recommended it as a great vacation spot. A couple friends decided to make it a girls trip. We came across this rental property after an extensive search. This was the best choice I could have ever made! Not only was the condo gorgeous but it was one of the most accomodating experiences by it's owners. They went to every possible length to make it a great experience even helping with booking flights and recommendations for restaurants and activities. I am already planning to take this trip again it was that great!"

"I think you'll find this condo very comfortable. The kitchen was well-equipped, the beds comfortable & most important - good air conditioning! In the mornings, I enjoyed sitting in the yard just steps from the patio door & looking out at the ocean so much that I had to work hard make myself leave to do other activities. At first I thought the beach looked small but as the days went by I found there were never more than 4 or 5 people on it, so it never felt or looked crowded. Liked having the pools and view from the Monkey bar for a change of scenery. Must warn you about their tennis courts - if you are a serious tennis player you may be disappointed by the asphalt court. But who would want to play tennis while in Costa Rica when there's so many other unique adventures? Unless you are going to be staying for a long time, I say leave the racquet at home and enjoy the sunset sailboat excursion and zipline tour and the other activities recommended by the owners (who are very helpful by the way)."

"Great location and condo could not have been nicer; neat,clean, well stock with essentials: towels, linens, TV, stereo , movie player, CD player, lots of space. It was great for 4 people. So relaxing in morning to sit on patio (ground level) and enjoy coffee. Great place at night for cocktails also. Every one there so friendly. Bars, restaurants, beach, everything is close but be prepared to negotiate a few steps and moderate hill climb. Not bad after the first day. We were there 10 days and could only take two excursions. Hope to go back , same place, soon. LL/JS"

"Clean, well furnished and appointed. Handy to nearby restaurants and bars at the Flamingo Marina Resort property. You will want to have a car to get to other great places to eat and play. The owner of this property was so helpful in lining up our visit (we stayed for 8 days) and we had few questions unanswered upon our arrival. In early to mid march the weather was a perfect 90 F during the day and cooled off nicely in the evening. Nice beach right in front of the property. A great value for the price and I would recommend it highly and without reservation. jdh"
