House was awesome. Very spacious, great open layout and amazing pool. We were a group of 7 and plenty of room. Location was perfect, close to the beach and a quick 20 minute drive to town. Liliana the property manager was fantastic. Super responsive and was able to connect us to everything (private chef, atv tours , ground transportation , golf carts etc).
We loved our stay at Casa Sunset. The property was clean and had everything needed for a memorable vacation! The pool was warm and the kids loved the slide! Lilliana was responsive and resolved the issue we had promptly. The only disappointment was we misread the listing and thought there was a hot tub. The other pool is a soaking tub, not a hot tub. The location was great. We would stay at Casa Sunset again!
Wonderful property! Everything you need is on site. We grilled out every night in the cabana out back. It has a bar and pool table. The pool is huge and yes! It has a slide and waterfall! We couldn’t get our son out of it. Our host Lilliana was on point. She greeted us and showed us around. Definitely take her advise. She saved us time and money on our excursions. We will definitely be back!
We had a wonderful time at this property. The place was exactly as described—clean, comfortable, and in a great location. Lilliana was an excellent host—professional, attentive, and always quick to respond to any questions we had. She made sure everything was perfect for our stay. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great place to stay!
We are grateful that you were able to visit Casa Sunset, we enjoyed making everything easy for our customers, from Chef service, cleaning, laundry transportation, assistance with tours and anything we can assist with to make your vacation wonderful. We hope you can come back soon
Our extended family of 11 stayed at this home over the holiday and had an absolutely wonderful time. Clean, open space and the beds were very comfortable. Lilliana, the property manager, and her team were extremely responsive for anything we needed. Also very helpful with local transportation, excursion and private chef referrals. We loved the house, well equipped kitchen, and neighborhood. Would stay again in a heartbeat. The only suggestion would be to add a handrail for getting in and out of the pool and spa. Thanks for the memories, Casa Sunset!!!
Stayed at Casa Sunset with 8 adults. The property manager was extremely helpful and went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. The pool is incredible, as a group of late 20's adults, the slide had everyone feeling 13 again. Would be a great place for actual 13-year-olds as well. Roads getting in and out can be a bit bumpy so I would suggesst renting an SUV. Tamarindo was a quick 15-20 minute drive by SUV. Lola's and La Purruja were great and felt more local, also a great beach experience (we preferred La Purruja actually over Lola's). Great stay all around, you won't be disappointed.
Had 7 adults and 2 toddlers and had plenty of space. Pictures do not do this place justice on the inside or out. Property manager and all the recommendations were phenomenal, any questions or issues were handled immediately. We were a little bummed the outdoor tv and one of the ac units were not working but we did appreciate the complimentary house keeping for one day. Lots of construction in the area but didn’t take away from our stay. We definitely would recommend this place and would stay again!

Thank you for your review, we love having your family enjoy the house. The AC has been fixed and a new TV has been purchased for the gazebo in the back yard. Our goal is to make your stay wonderful and assist with any needs posible. We will see you back soon.
We had a fantastic stay at Casa Sunset. The property is beautiful and the location provided many activities for each of our family members. The house is well stocked with anything you could need. We enjoyed all of the extras like the ping pong table, pool table and the standout feature- the pool with the slide! So fun!!!
The property manager Karen was helpful and quick to respond and we also got tips about where to eat and how to order groceries from Lilyana.
Hacienda Pinilla is unique in that there is a beach club (my husband surfed there every day- great break and sets) with a beautiful pool and restaurant with good food.
We also enjoyed horse back riding in Hacienda Pinilla- fun morning for me and my 2 daughters.
We also hired Chef Jujo to cook for us a few times- he is a gem! Excellent food and so fun and lovely.
Overall- we loved our time at Casa Sunset! Thank you for sharing your home!

Our goal is to make everything easy for our customers, from Chef service, cleaning, laundry transportation, assistance with tours and anything we can assist with to make your vacation wonderful. We hope to see you soon :)
Let me preface this review with the fact that the house is beautiful and the location is great. Unfortunately that fact was greatly overshadowed by the fact that the property’s stunning pool was completely unusable for the entire duration of our stay. (It was dirty to the point it looked like it hadn’t been cleaned in months) Despite several messages to both the property manager and owner about this, our concern's were minimized and the pool was never usable during our stay (we had a cleaning crew tell us it was “unsuitable”) As anyone who has seen the listing knows, the pool is the focal feature of the house and we had four kids who were sublimely disappointed that they couldn’t enjoy the pool. It forced us to change our plans and was a major let down. I’m yet to hear back from the owner despite several messages and emails….hoping they do the right thing.

Dear Lori, thank you for your review, we are super happy that you had an amazing time at Casa sunset, also in Hacienda Pinilla. We are also very excited that you guys enjoyed your fishing trip as you guys shared some amazing pictures with us. As we explained to you several times the house is located in an area surrounded by some beautiful big trees and it is time of the season where they change leaves. However, We were happy to hire an additional Pool crew to go service the pool daily. , as we showed you, the pool had the proper chemical levels. The pool is always very clear and optimal conditions Unfortunately we had
some unusual bad winds. We did respond to your messages promptly. However, as you were out of the house without Wi-Fi or Internet signal, seems you r messages were very delayed. Again thank you so much for visiting Casa sunset and come back anytime.
Everything about this home was wonderful! The owner is very friendly and great with communication, making sure we had information ahead of and throughout our stay. Based on questions we had asked before arrival, she added things such as a lock box and ice maker which was so nice! She is very committed to making sure guests are comfortable and have everything needed. The local property manager was terrific and gave a helpful walk through of the house upon arrival, to review all of the many great features of the home. The home was very clean and comfortable for 8 people, including separate beds for the 4 kids. We made most of our dinners at home and the kitchen had everything needed. The terraza area has so much entertainment and is where we spent most of our home time swimming, playing, dining and relaxing. A couple of notes for future guests: Hacienda Pinilla is a large development, and this house is located within one of the individual neighborhoods inside the development. The houses are very spread out and private. The Hacienda Pinilla Beach Club is the main access to the beach. We didn’t spend much time there, but they have good food and a great view of sunsets from the beach area. It takes about 10 minutes to get there by golf cart, 5 minutes by car. We spent several days at Playa Avellana, which seemed to be the nicest swimming beach in the area, and Lola’s restaurant on Playa Avellana. It’s a perfect beach day and you can rent chairs in front of Lola’s, ask for David he is the best! Important to note, you’ll want to park at the Hacienda Beach Club and walk about 15 minutes down the beach to get to Lola’s, it’s a lovely walk. Driving to Lola’s by road takes much longer and is a long and bumpy dirt road. So the beach club access is valuable for this alone! Overall a perfect stay, thank you!

Thank you very much, We are happy that you and your your family had a great time.
Overall, we loved our stay at Casa Sunset; a few points to be aware of:
- 7 adults (three couples and a single)
- location was great, about 1.5hr South of Liberia airport by rental car, and only about 20-30 minutes away from Tamarindo. Don’t need to be a great driver to drive yourself, it’s fairly low stress/easy - speed limit in most places is 60km/hr - 80km/hr, so not very fast and is why it takes longer to get places.
- we HIGHLY recommend vehicle rental as the property is generally too far from things to rely on golf carts - they’d be too slow to get you where you need to go (Lola’s, Tam, grocery stores, etc., etc.).
- On top of that, golf carts are $420USD per week, per car, which is way too expensive considering we rented a large 7 passenger SUV for under $1k USD for the week stay (includes fuel).
- We rented vehicle online from Enterprise, who shuttles you from airport to rental place (~4 min drive), and then shuttles you back to airport on vehicle drop off. They open at 5am so wasn’t an issue with early morning flight time on the shuttle. It’s too far to walk and would be walking on busy highly. Process for vehicle rental worked out great, no issues, but was one of our stress points before arrival. Don’t need to worry, it’s easy.
- the beach club was not an option for us as the property cancelled their annual subscription due to cost/benefit, which is fine, but was just not communicated properly to us before we attempted to get into the club. We ended up just going to the beach instead which is fine.
- property itself is amazing, very modern, clean and tons to do. We spent a ton of time in the large pool, hot tub (not extremely hot but warmer than pool), and the cabana area with the bar, table for cards/games/eating, tv, and pool table. We bbq’d a lot - it worked well and was nice to know they had backup propane tank.
- indoor kitchen is good and had most of what we needed such as pots and pans and utensils.
- Costa Rica itself is beautiful and weather was a steady 32C-35C every day, no rain (Feb 3-10).It is an expensive country though (at least where we stayed) for almost everything: drinks and dining, groceries, and general goods(200ml bottle of sunscreen was nearly $30 which is insanity).
- property manager had great communication,no issues
- overall, if you are going to CR, would recommend the property to anyone - we loved it. Biggest tip though - rent a vehicle, skip the expensive golf carts, you won’t regret it.
Our Group is very active and everyone Totally enjoyed our stay. The Condo is well stocked and spotless. The host Lillian was super helpful with setting up everything we needed and responded immediately. I recommend renting the Golf cart. We are planning a return trip next year.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Felt like home away from home. Full equipped kitchen. Plenty of towels and linens. The pool and outside space was amazing and perfect for our family. Our children loved the slide! Property manager is very communicative and was there to answer questions and give recommendations.
Very welcoming home, Karen the property manager and Maria where attending to every detail to make our stay a memorable and truly enjoyable experience. Communication was easy and they were responsive and available to help us and guide us in the area.
The house is beautiful and well kept, super clean.
Golf buggy is a must around the hacienda.
Can’t wait to come back!
We had a GREAT TIME at Casa Sunset!! We were there as two families with teenage kids and it was an amazing fit for us all! The "play space" is fantastic - between the water slide, pool table, foosball and shooting hoops the kids were active the entire time. We so appreciated the cleaning crew, access to beach club and continuous communication with the house manager! We hope to be back soon!!
Casa Sunset is a spacious, modern, and beautiful home. It is exactly as depicted in the photos/listing. There were many things we enjoyed about the house, but the pool area was definitely our favorite. The owner and property manager were very responsive and helpful throughout our stay. The home is tucked away in a private, gated community, approximately 5 minutes from the JW Marriott and Hacienda Pinilla Beach Club, and about 20 minutes to Tamarindo. Internet and cell service worked great.
The house is amazing, the open area is very big the rooms and beds are extremely comfortable. The good thing about the house is the moment you open your bedroom door you feel that you are on vacation as the entire home connects to the pool area which is by far one of the best feutures. We also enjoyed the beach club as well as playing golf (amazing course). The manager of the home was very friendly and available for any question we had. Will definitely be back soon :)
