Our space
Our home has historical significance and is known within our community as "Casa de campo". One of the first homes built within Hacienda Pinilla. Built on the location of the original Casa Hacienda Pinilla. Rebuilt with all the modern amenities but keeping with the historical charm and significance by incorporating locally produced wood and classic Spanish colonial revival architecture. Imagine living as a Costa Rican Don or Doña within a tropical forest surrounded by nature, animals and the ocean.

Our architecture and style is based on early 20th century Spanish Colonial revival architecture. Designed with strict guidelines of keeping with traditional Costa Rican Hacienda architecture with over 20% sustainable local wood.
Our home has a stucco exterior, clay-tile roof, exposed beams, wrought-iron details, 18 foot ceilings and covered veranda. Our home is one of the first and largest luxury homes made in Hacienda Pinilla. All designed with complimenting the local landscape, fauna and traditions.

Your group will appreciate the oversized, high-ceilinged bedrooms.

Our home is located within Hacienda Pinilla; the country’s best beach resort with all the amenities. Golf course, bike trails, tropical forests, tennis courts, horseback riding, beach club, bars, restaurants, 24 hour medical clinic, grocery store and surf breaks. JW Mariott is minutes away.

Wonderful Week Despite Bumpy Start

This property was as it appears in the pictures. Plenty of space for two families of 4, each with young kids. The kitchen had everything we needed, and the bedrooms and bathrooms were spacious and well-maintained. Hacienda Pinilla is a beautiful neighborhood with great amenities. We enjoyed the mountain biking, massages at the beach club, local beach access, and relative proximity to Tamarindo. Not to mention the monkeys who cruised through the backyard each afternoon and the well-maintained private pool. All excellent! Our only complaint was that the house had not been cleaned when we arrived after our long travel days. When we contacted the property manager about the lack of cleaning, she came over immediately during the dinner hour on a Monday with two cleaners to fix things up for our first night. The crew then came back the next day and cleaned everything thoroughly. The owner also comped us the night's stay, which we felt great about. The property manager then left us a nice bottle of wine later in the trip. It seemed like this was very much an anomaly for this house, as evidenced by the prompt and professional response and reactions of both the property manager and the owners. We would have reviewed this property with all five stars but for the initial hiccups.

Good house, loved the pool, backyard & beaches

I would give this a 5 star rating for the house and property if we didn't have so much trouble with the concierge team and there was a broken shower head mount. The house, layout, outdoor living, backyard, pool and landscaping was awesome. It was close to a beach with tide pools and we liked the other beaches in the community. I also appreciated the few beach toys available for guest. Make sure to get a rental car and not a beach cart otherwise you are stuck in the gated community and the only dining option is the beach club which is overpriced and staff was rude. We couldn't drive to Lola's but we ended up parking at beach club and walking on the beach to get there. We had trouble with the concierge team. Everything we booked with that group was not executed to plan and I felt like I had to manage them to get resolution so it would have been easier to book myself (we did for a few things that went great). If you can, check out Native's Way for a sea turtle tour. It's not too far away and you can see baby green sea turtles leave their nest and enter the ocean and momma sea turtles make a nest and lay their eggs. Make sure anything you book outside the concierge that requires transportation is communicated to the concierge or you will have to walk a distance to the gate for pick up.

Casa Campo Tropical Retreat

We had an amazing stay at this property! The house is welcoming and very well stocked, a great home base from which to explore the surrounding area. The backyard balconies and pool area are a private tropical retreat and served as a center point for countless gatherings and relaxation. A short stroll to the beach provides amazing walks, tidal pool exploration and beautiful sunsets. The property owner and manager were very responsive and provided a great resource for planning outings and dining options. But perhaps the best part of the stay was the troop of Howler Monkeys that frequent the property and provided daily entertainment. Overall fantastic experience. Thanks to David, Natalia, Jaime, and Fabian.

Prime Location, Numerous Amenities, Slightly Dated Property

The location of the home is excellent. The subdivision is large and secure with multiple layers of staffed gates. We felt extremely comfortable and safe walking around the community. The onsite pool is private and the only noise we heard was wildlife (birds, monkeys and iguanas!) The private beach club and two private beaches were an excellent benefit. Concierge services were excellent and included within the cost. We used the service for advance food shopping, massages and fishing charters. All minor issues promptly handled. There are a few items that should be noted. The property is a little dated. The appliances in the kitchen function but are not new. The kitchen supplies are adequate but well used. Bathrooms show their age and lack some of the features newer properties have in CR (no outdoor shower or modern fixtures). There was nothing that was objectionable however. Even with the few drawbacks, we felt the price for the home was fair and would possibly consider the property again.

Lovely, Comfortable, Serene

Casa de Campo, as the house is called, is a gem. You enter into a single, large room with a kitchen and a big dining table and a sectional sofa facing a big-screen tv. There are French doors off that room and off the two large bedrooms, each with king-sized beds. I was so happy when I first entered and saw it was as advertised. And that was further bolstered when I saw the back porch, with a lovely in-ground pool. Most mornings, we were awakened by howler monkeys. This house is in a gated community, making it feel very safe and isa very short walk to a small beach that has lots of lava rock. You could walk for miles on that beach at low tide to adjacent, wider, & sandier beaches, or drive to the development's beach club where there's a wide open beach, pool, spa, gym, and food. We were two couples, but we could have had more people in the house comfortably, as the 3rd bedroom had two beds and its own bath. You can rent a golf cart which might be fun, but I'd recommend a car rental for more travel flexibility. Great stay! Thanks!

About the host

Hosted by David Moon

Hola! My family and I would like to thank you for visiting us.

We value our family time together and would like to share with you our home away from home. We enjoy swimming, surfing, beach days, cooking and picnics.

We discovered CR a few years back and decided that Tamarindo was our favourite location. Safe beaches, mellow surfing, central location, proximity to airport and amenities made it an easy decision.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask.

Pura Vida!

David
