My husband and my niece and her husband had a wonderful two weeks vacation, location was perfect for a relaxing time. The food at Amigos Y Beer was amazing and would recommend trying this restaurant more than once. The view from the balcony was absolutely spectacular and private. The entrance into the condo was a bit challenging but the security guard directed us in the first time and after that, we had no problem. Yes you do have to drag your luggage across the grass, through a narrow walkway and up the stairs but the journey was well worth it once we arrived at the condo. We would recommend this location to anyone planning on visiting the area.
We had a lovely stay here. Full amenities, air-conditioned rooms, direct access to the private beach, and walking distance to cute shops and restaurants. This was a perfect place to enjoy our time in Play Flamingo.
This unit is a gem. it has a wonderful view of the water and is steps away from a secluded, very private small beach. Flamingo beach, shops and places to eat are in easy walking distance. A/C unit is very effective and keeps the place cool even on hot days. Five stars for sure.
Beautiful beachfront location with a stunning private beach only 16 steps down and across the lawn. Access to the condo is a problem. There are two ways to access the condo. One is down 68 steps through a complex maze through a condo complex in renovation. The other is to walk through 3 other condos, down a narrow passageway, and across a lawn, then up a short but steep grassy, slippery slope and finally up 16 steps. (With your luggage!) The price might seem like a bargain for beachfront, but this is why. It may be fine for you. It was not for us, but thankfully the company sent help for us to get out on the last day. I was very unhappy that this was not disclosed in the VRBO ad. And when I asked for information before booking, I was just told âitâs on the second floor.â A video showing me the path from parking was sent 15 minutes before check in time. The terrace is lovely and we spent most of our time there. Other reviews will describe the unit which was adequate for our needs. It needs new skillets very badly. Itâs a little dark and dingy, and could use an update. And itâs a little buggy. From now on, I will read the reviews much more carefully. We didnât explore the area very much as getting in and out of the condo plus trying to carry in groceries was just too challenging.
We enjoyed our stay. The communication was excellent and the property was for the most part quite good. There is no easy access to the unit. It is only accessible via a walk across unpaved terrain. Given the amount of rain, we in reality had to deal with wet, slippery grass and slopes with mud. This made it challenging to get luggage to the unit. The master bedroom had a bedside lamp that doesnât work. We were unable to turn on the deck fan for mosquito abatement. The kitchen was very sparsely equipped but manageable. There was no instructions regarding local amenities such as grocery stores, etc. The sound of the waves is a huge luxury. The secluded beach and beautiful location will be remembered for a long while.
Great view and well appointed kitchen .. very clean ⊠parking directions not clear .. google led us to parking lot on another street ⊠need to make it clear parking is on end of street where marina is located âŠ. Suggest providing beach chairs ⊠water clear and warm âŠ
Pro:
Nice, safe development with semi-private beach
Beach is relatively calm - generally no big waves
Spacious unit with nice view of trees and bay
Great balcony space
BBQ on balcony
Con:
There was a red ant problem when we were there in dec 2023 - outside on entry deck and inside the unit
As noted in other reviews, bit of a struggle to carry cases across grassed area and up one flight of stairs to unit
Unit is not very well maintained - guest sink plug sticks and you can't undo it, rubber edging coming off shower door, toilet in guest bath running
While the location of the condo/ocean view was great, communication with Vacasa staff was poor. One of the toilets wasnât working and it took them 4 days to repair.
My husband and I really enjoyed our stay at this property. The condo had everything we needed. Beach chairs, beach towels, coffee, iron, shampoo, hair conditioner and other miscellaneous items. The balcony looking over the beach was perfect. The views were stunning. Very quiet area as well. The location was also perfect. We did not have a car rental and cancelled our a golf cart reservation because we felt that a lot of places were walking distance. Playa Flamingo is right around the corner and so is the new Marina Flamingo. There is a really good coffee and bakery shop at the marina. Great restaurants nearby and on Monday nights from 6:00PM - 9:00PM there is Monday Moonlight Market. Also a short walk from the unit. The unit was very easy to get to from the Flamingo Marina Cove parking lot where our private driver dropped us off. It took us 1 minute and 30 seconds to get to the unit with our carry on cases and personal bags. We were very happy with our stay.
Very comfortable place to stay, everything you need. We loved sitting out on the porch overlooking the beach. The property was a little aged and there are many stairs to get to the room, but overall we very much enjoyed it here.
The condo met all our needs for a beach vacation. Kids enjoyed the private beach, and the property was very well kept. The condo had everything we needed, and we were very comfortable. Would recommend for couples and families.
Great view of beach and access to and from unit. Good selection of utensils, beach accessories, and deck/patio furniture. Not enough explanation of how to get to unit or whatâs included with this unit in other amenities. A few other details that could use improvement includes: a/c units were intermittent on their operation, no light in stairwell, no explanation on use of safe box, no explanation of what services and restaurants were in the area. Lack of parking, had to walk on the grass to get from parking area to unit which is a little difficult when you have large luggage
This condo is tucked away in a decent spot near Playa Flamingo. The decorations in our unit showed that the owners love their Costa Rica condo. Access to the condo is a short, dusty road. Just a reality for Costa Rica. Pura Vida.
Nearby is a fantastic taco restaurant and grocery mart. Also close is the famous bar 5 oâclock somewhere. Great drink specials and bring your camera for stunning sunset photos.
The location is great but difficult to find. Hopefully you have a car with GPS telling you where exactly to turn because it does not appear to be a road. The privacy is great along with the short walk to water.
We walked everywhere and the restaurants (Marie's (breakfast) and Camparino (Pasta)are fantastic.
Hopefully you rent a car from and honest company and not AVIS at the airport. Our prepaid reservation was given away to a walk-in customer for 3 times what we paid. Avis corporate was notified and brushed it off as a Rentalcare.com problem.
We loved the condo itself - see our pros/cons below. Would definitely stay here again! Mucho gracias Gustavo.
Pros:
Great view
Easy check in & Gustavo was quick to respond.
Beach access is 50 steps away
Private
Great neighbors
Condo is well stocked with appliances - coffee pour over, coffee pot, blender, juicer, filtered water and ice, and many pots/pans. Great for cooking.
Great communication from the property manager - he even sent us a video of where to walk to access our suite.
Thereâs a small convenience store on the way to flamingo beach - has all necessities.
Cons:
Not actually on Flamingo beach - about a 10min walk away. This isnât a con if you want a more secluded beach - the one in front of the condo is great!
-No parking due to the construction. We parked where the manager told us to, then had to move as they were trenching some services in for the marina construction. Will be great not to be in the construction zone.
The condo is a little dark but we didnât spend much time inside so didnât bother us.
The sodas are the best places to eat in Costa Rica - hands down. The closest soda is about a 30min walk along the bay where the boats are moored but so worth it.
This Flamingo condo is easy to get to & very spacious once inside! Due to our flight being delayed we arrived after dark. Gustavo had already sent my directions, lockbox code & a video of how to enter. This was extremely helpful as we arrived in the dark. It is several sets of stairs involved but we enjoyed the exercise.
AC works great & bathrooms are very accommodating. We will definitely stay here again. :)
