Great clean two story home! The pool is a short walk away and there were monkeys in the trees by the house daily. The beach club had great food. Golf was close by. Brenda was a fabulous host!

Thank you Kimberli - we look forward to your next visit!!
The host Brenda was great at communication. Such a smooth process when we arrived. The villa was immaculate, everything worked, and it was the most delightful stay especially looking out at the ocean view on the upstairs patio.

Terrific home, responsive owner, definitely will be back
Everything about the listing is accurate. This is a great place to call home for a family vacation. Well equipped kitchen, comfortable beds, great A/C and the morning coffee on the deck was sublime.
Brenda is a terrific host as well, super responsive and helped make our stay even better. One of our best family vacations.

Thank you for taking the time to write review - glad you enjoyed your stay. Yes, many guests either a golf cart to get around within Hacienda Pinilla and/or a car to also explore outside Hacienda Pinila.
The place is fantastic and we’re planning to go back this year!
Excellent - best vacation ever. It’s a great location - quiet and close to beaches. Horses out in the pasture in the morning and a family of monkeys came around for a visit one day. Close to Tamarindo - great restaurants and grocery shopping. Brenda is the best!!

Thank you for your wonderful review - it was a pleasure having you!
This villa in the Palmas Real section is very spacious, comfortable, and well-furnished. Perhaps most important, it is an easy five-minute walk to the white sand Pacific Ocean beach next to the J.W. Marriott - no expensive golf cart or rent-a-car required!

This villa was beyond amazing and just absolutely gorgeous! The perfect location for chilling out, walks on the beach, cooling off in the pools, and enjoying nature at its finest! Everything was beautiful and the views were just jaw-dropping! Can't say enough about our host Brenda who was extremely helpful. I loved the time we spent there and would highly recommend.

Upon booking, Brenda, the property manager contacted me immediately. She was on top of everything and made our stay so easy. She was super responsive and helpful with anything we needed. The town house was clean and pristine. It was perfect for our family of five. We would without a doubt stay there again!

Thank you Lisa for the nice review! Hopefully we will have the pleasure of hosting your family again one day.
This is an excellent well equipped townhome in Hacienda Pinilla. You can enjoy the pool, beach club, surfing, local restaurants, hiking, biking etc. from this home away from home. Comfortable beds and a nice wrap around porches. Spectacular sunset views. We loved the horses that came by and saw monkeys and other Costa Rican wild life right from our front door. Highly recommend!

Thank you Amy for your review - so glad that you all enjoyed your stay so much that you extended for a few extra nights:) Looking forward to having you again.
The accommodations were wonderful with a short walk to pools and beaches. The kitchen was well stocked with pots, pans, dishes, coffee maker, etc. En route from Liberia airport, we picked up groceries and fruit from a local stand. Was was nice to have some casual meals but also visited some of the local restaurants that our hostess Brenda recommended.

Thank you Karen for your review - so happy to hear that you all enjoyed your time here!! Until the next birthday:)
This is a beautiful two-story townhouse with a view of the Pacific Ocean in Hacienda Pinilla. You are walking distance from a beach that is essentially private, because the development in which it is located is so large that others are unable to walk from public beaches. The property manager is a joy. The townhouse is immaculate. We strongly recommend this property.

We are a family of five and loved our stay at this property. It was VERY quiet and a beautiful location. My husband and I took advantage of the mountain bike trails. Awesome! As a family, we enjoyed the beaches, workout room, nearby restaurants and walking trails. The host has put together a binder of all kinds of activities and restaurants. Very helpful!! The beds were extremely comfortable, the kitchen and grill were wonderful, and the upper deck with sunset views was delightful! If you stay, definitely take advantage of Playa Avellanas and a meal at Lola’s.

Great property. Ideal location. Not overly developed, but very comfortable and Modern. Very quiet. Great surroundings, including wildlife. Many many varieties of birds. Many different things to do. Day trips: fishing, river cruise, beach, etc. Very relaxed. Do not come expecting formal dinners. Shorts and beach attire. Very secure. The security was on point.

Thank you Paul for your review! Hopefully we'll see you again...
Great property. Clean. Safe. Close to beach. Nice short drive to Tamarindo and Playa Negra but nice to escape from the crowds of those locations to our villa in Pinella. Property manager was wonderful. Helpful. Thoughtful and available at all times. Dozens of great restaurants nearby and a lovely number of beaches within five minutes or property. Great aircon. Nice gym yards away with lost equipment needed and a club house with a larger gym. Pool and bar/restaurant.

Thank you Cory for your review. It was very nice meeting you and your family. We look forward to having you all back one day!
We loved our stay at Hacienda Pinilla! Brenda was fantastic and provided so much information in advance. Her information helped us plan our days and our entire trip. We loved the view from the balcony and saw deer and horses grazing. We loved visiting the Beach Club, and although it cost us $10/person to enter, we then had a credit for the same amount to use for food and drinks at the pool bar or restaurant. The o ly thing we would change about our trip would be to grab groceries before we checked in, which was our own fault as we were tired. Brenda also helped us reserve our snorkeling catamaran tour, which was the best one we have been on. The staff was fantastic and super friendly, and we saw dolphins. sea turtles and humpback whales. Thank you for a fantastic experience!
