About this property

Golden Reef Condominium is located next to Punta Leona Hotel & Club, a 750-acre reserve in a rainforest home to iguanas, scarlet macaws, toucans, white faced monkeys, spider monkeys, sloths, coatis and more. At only an hour and a half drive, it is the closest beach to Costa Rica's capital, San José and the San José International Airport (SJO). The perfect home base for any number of tours in the area. Most notably, Punta Leona is home to Playa Blanca, a white sand beach which has year after year won the highly sought after Eco Blue Flag (Bandera Azúl Ecológica) with a 5 out of 5 star rating – one of only 2 beaches in all of Costa Rica to garner that rating. And it's a 5-minute walk from the condo!

The condo has all the comforts of a modern home with stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, washer/dryer, air-conditioning units in each room, cable TV, free WiFi and a very large terrace. As our condo is located on the 4th floor of the building, you will enjoy incredible panoramic views of the Pacific ocean, the landmark rock of La Leona, Playa Blanca, as well as the flight of scarlet macaws, pelicans, and numerous other wildlife. The unit has two private parking spaces located within the Golden Reef complex. Families with children will love the pool area with slide. Beach toys are also provided in the unit.

In the nearby towns of Quebrada Ganado, Jacó and Herradura, you will find a variety of grocery and souvenir stores as well as plenty of restaurant choices in addition to many places to book canopy, horseback riding and deep sea fishing tours.

Beautiful property, with an amazing view. The beach was fantastic and great for our young kids. The kids enjoyed snorkeling and looking for critters in the tide pools.

A Gem of a host!!!!

The communication between us and our host was 10 star. I have never had such special, friendly communication in any other VRBO rental and i have rented many. Thank you Herve for all of the extra info you gave us about the area. The condominium was immaculate with everything one needs to cook, etc.. The location of the condo overlooking the beach and Pacific was par excelance. Sunsets were amazing. The ice cream place within the grounds of the Golden Reef was super and the restaurant was good and low key. We rented golf carts to go to the beach since we needed them for certain issues we have. I actually snorkled just off the beach and saw yellow tailed fish. I am sure you could see more if you went out further. I was alone so didn’t trust myself to go too far out. The entire week was so beautiful and peaceful. We now don't want to leave but Adios Golden Reef. Betty

Stunning Views and a Clean Beautiful Condo

My family and I (daughter, son-in-law, two children) stayed here for several days and it was lovely. There aren't enough adjectives to describe the views from the very spacious balconies, which contained lots of seating options, a table and chairs for dining, and a hammock. The condo was very clean and had everything we needed in terms of dishes, towels, soaps, etc. It is also very spacious and really comfortable. The pool area (and pool slide!) was greatly appreciated by the kids. Communications with the property manager were promptly answered and instructions were very clear on the arrival process (several guard stations to pass through, which makes the property extremely secure). The only small issue we found (when we arrived one toilet would not) was resolved quickly. Highly recommend this property for a peaceful getaway!! PS La Ostra Negra is a WONDERFUL restaurant right near the first entry into the property.
