About this property
Stunning Beachfront at The Palms 29—Beachside Couples Massage Included!
Hi, we're Mike and Julia, and we're ready to welcome you to The Palms Villa 29. Your stay includes a relaxing couples massage on the beach as our welcome gift! The privately owned and operated villa is meticulously cleaned and sanitized ahead of your arrival, and includes daily cleaning service during your stay. Please check out our reviews for the real scoop on our beautiful home in paradise! Instead of using a property management company, we rent the villa directly and independently, and do everything from maintenance, deep cleans and even buy the soaps and consumables ourselves. We take immense pride in our home and are proud to offer you incredibly fast replies, helpful advice, and a 5-star experience that never cuts corners. Thanks for your interest and we look forward to answering any questions you may have about our home and your trip to Costa Rica!
The home is two stories with two bedrooms and three full baths, and finished with fine modern furnishings providing luxury and comfort in every room. The villa contains floor to ceiling double panel bi-fold doors which maximize your view of the amazing sunsets from both floors. There is also a quiet second storey balcony at the front of the home. It has two full dining areas, one indoor and one outdoor. Go out the back doors and you are less than fifty steps to the white sandy beach!
Beds & Bedrooms: Master Suite: 1x King Bed Guest Suite: Either 2x Twin or 1x King, plus a loft with 1x double. We also have a new (comfortable!) Queen sofa bed in the living room with black-out blinds, and a full bath on the main floor. Due to local bylaws, the unit can sleep up to a maximum of 6 people. Kids: The Villa offers a pack and play crib with mattress, baby blanket, baby pillows, changing pad and a baby monitor (which reaches the poolside!) We also offer several toys and board games.
The Palms has 24/7 guards, gated privacy and two pools with attractive tropical landscaping throughout the complex. The main 100ft infinity pool is great for little ones, too! There is a fully equipped gym with a beautiful ocean view. The resort offers non-motorized water sports equipment (boogie boards, masks, flippers), and the staff are glad to facilitate anything from catamaran tours to wave runners, babysitting, and more. Hot lunches and dinners is delivered by nearby Coco Loco, with breakfast offered on weekends; and there is an on-site bar serving tropical cocktails in the afternoon and at sunset. Our concierge team can even organize private sunset dinners on the beach!
If you love to cook, you'll enjoy the fully stocked kitchen, Viking appliances, and a common barbecue area that boasts brand new Weber grills with motorized rotisseries!
The villa includes fast 100 mbps wifi, Smart TVs with built-in access to Netflix. The fees payable via VRBO cover daily housekeeping, paper products (toilet paper, paper towel and facial tissue) and bath soap/shampoo/conditioner - a true hotel-like experience! Club fees also cover on-site Concierge services, daily beach towels, non-motorized water sports, fabulous ocean-view gym, and property-wide wifi.
This luxurious beach front Villa is located on the South end of the exclusive Playa Flamingo, and is THE ONLY beach front private villa complex on the gorgeous white sands of Flamingo Beach, Costa Rica's premier beach. Located on Costa Rica's northwest Pacific coast, this villa is just a fifty-five minute drive from Liberia airport, and twenty-five minutes from Tamarindo's airport. The Palms is nestled among multi-million dollar private estates near the end of a secluded cove and is renowned for its soft white sand, and clear warm ocean water. Flamingo is also home to world class sports fishing. Located just offshore, the Catalina Islands offer outstanding scuba diving. Nearby Playa Grande offers some of Costa Rica's best surfing. Beautiful golf courses, a marina, and gourmet restaurants are all conveniently located nearby.
HOT TIPS: Bakery truck comes to The Palms every Tuesday and Friday. Try the banana cake—it's amazing! As for dinner, CocoLoco is 1 min away on the beach and is a MUST. We recommend the sizzling lava rock steak. Mmmmm.

Incredible property and home. The best is both words - having your own luxury home on a beautiful beach in Costa Rica, and the amenities of a boutique hotel. Couldn’t have asked for anything more.
This property and location are beautiful. It was a very relaxing stay. The property was very clean and exactly like the pictures. The grounds were pristine and very secure.
Do not sleep on renting this place, it is amazing. Literally steps from the ocean which was so convenient if you forgot something in the villa. The pool gentlemen always remembered our names and where we liked to sit. Always greeting you with a smile and good morning. The sunsets were fabulous. The beach massages were also lovely. We ate at cocoloco the first night and were glad to have something close. We never visited for breakfast but did go to other places suggested by the host. Having the concierge was also nice and stress free. We went ziplining and rented jet ski's through them. The villa has everything you need and is fully stocked. The loft is an added bonus if you have children. We cannot wait to return!
Paradise! Can’t beat the location with beach access. My kids loved boogie boarding in the waves. Pool is awesome as well. Grounds very well maintained.Condo had every amenity you could think of. Very clean and beautiful. Will be back for sure!It’s our favorite vacation place!
We had a great stay at The Palms. The hospitality of the owners and staff at the resort was amazing. The property is beautiful and steps to the beach. The condo was beautifully decorated and had a lot of amenities to cook and plenty of beds for our 3 kids and family. The beach massages were an added plus and made our trip relaxing. The daily cleaning services were also a nice touch. We would highly recommend this place if staying in Playa Flamingo.
The property is simply mesmerizing. The home itself was beautifully appointed and super comfortable. The hosts provided so many tips and extras. They were very nice and thoughtful touches that truly enhanced our stay. We will definitely be back!
Villa 29 is amazing! Everything is in fantastic shape and super clean. Literally steps from the beach. Gorgeous sunsets every day. Mike was so helpful with a great welcome guide full of tips. The Palms staff are top notch and have thought of everything. Highly recommend renting a golf cart, getting a beachside massage, and doing some tours with Dennis and his team. La Leona is a must for adventure seekers. We can’t wait to return to Villa 29. An unforgettable experience!!!
The owners are incredibly responsive throughout the process which always helps. The place is as good as it looks and the pictures do not do the place and location justice. Fantastic trip!

Thank you Mitchell! Our welcome guide has a number of walkable restaurants like Coco Loco, Camparino, Amigos and Top Spritz. Super Massai grocery is just past flamingo plaza, a 10-minute walk along the beach.
This villa was perfect for two couples. It had everything we needed and the concierge team of The Palms was excellent. They made several reservations for us and checked in to see if we needed anything. All the staff was very attentive. The pool and beach were only steps from the back glass doors. Would definitely rent this villa again if we make it back to Playa Flamingo or the area.
The condo had a good layout. Definitely had everything we needed in the kitchen along with spices and a variety of basics that helped a lot. Nice pool and easy access to the beach.

Thanks so much, Deron! Appreciate you choosing The Palms 29 for your vacation and so glad it met your expectations! -M
From the time we booked, the communication from the owners and property concierge was amazing! The property and beach were absolutely beautiful. The beach was public but it felt completely private. It had everything we could want! It is now our goal to return!
The Palms is our absolute favorite place to visit in Costa Rica, and Villa 29 is one of the best positioned villas to beach. Mike and Julia were very accommodating and added to our experience. Good luck finding a better beach with the view and privacy of Flamingo.

Thank you so much, Tony and family! It was a pleasure to welcome you back to the Palms!
Our experience at Palms Villa 29 was exceptional! Wonderful condo, great concierge service, excellent amenities like gym, on site massages, pool bartender. Owners were also very responsive and responsible when we accidentally locked the safe without a code. We cannot wait to go back!
First time staying in Playa Flamingo and we truly enjoyed our stay. Walking out on grass right to the beach was great. Having a VRBO house feel but having all the amenities of the pool, water toys, guard, and local restaurant being able to deliver to the villa was a big plus. Great for families and even though you are sharing the grounds it was never crowded.

Thank you so much for the kind words, Misti. We are grateful you chose Villa 29 and are so glad you had a great experience! You're welcome back any time.
Idyllic location on Pacific ocean. Hear the waves from whole condo. Beautiful Condo in quiet location, yet can easily reach restaurants within short walk or by car.

Christine and John - Thank you for your kind review. We are so glad you enjoyed your stay with us!
This is the place to stay in Flamingo. Everything is perfect from location to amenities. The property itself is gorgeous and ocean front with a pool and private bar. There is a full kitchen, smart TV, excellent wifi, and helpful concierge. There is daily housekeeping as well. We booked everything through the concierge who is available 24/7 and it could not have been simpler. Whether you're traveling as a couple or a family, this is definitely the spot.

Thank you Naveen! Hosting you could not have been better!
My family and I enjoyed a beautiful week-long stay at the Palms Villa 29. The welcoming atmosphere and incredible views were second to none. From waking up to gentle ocean sounds and fresh Costa Rican coffee, to returning each day to a peaceful, climate controlled home, the villa met our needs and surpassed our expectations at every turn. Our time at Playa Flamingo was greatly enhanced by the exceptional staff; each member courteous and collected, while ready at a moment’s notice to improve our stay in any way possible. We’ll certainly be coming here in the near future.
We stayed at Palms 29 for 4 days in June. The place is immaculate and had everything we needed. Playa Flamingo is perfect as it has just the right amount of people, restaurants and surf. The walk on the beach is just right and the little grocery store down at the end has everything you might need for a short stay. Charter boats are just down the road in Potrero (we caught Mahi and Snapper and had the concierge send a chef over to prepare everything for us!) and a day trip to Tamarindo is super easy. Hosts are wonderful and we will for sure be back! Pura Vida!

About the host
Hosted by Mike Alfano & Julia Lorenz
Myself and my wife Julia fell in love with Flamingo after visiting The Palms in 2018. We're parents to two young boys and Villa 29 is our home away from home. We wanted a special place for our boys to make great memories, learn new skills, and maybe even learn a new language as we immerse ourselves in one of the world's richest and beautiful cultures. Purchasing at The Palms was a huge stretch, but we committed to bringing the highest level of service and personal attention to our guests with hopes that in the end, our gamble is able to sustain itself. So far, so good! The reviews speak for themselves as we continue to take care of each stay personally, and meet amazing visitors from all over the world. Thank you for exploring our home and this profile. Please feel free to send over any questions you have and we look forward to hosting you!
Why they chose this property
We have always been beach lovers, having travelled all over the world visiting incredible beaches; Playa Flamingo won the prize. It's white sand, great surf, cleanliness and privacy is truly best in class. The house itself was constructed by a California-based developer to American building standards. Finishings are top quality, the property is maintained beautifully and the staff are second to none. From the minute you arrive, you just know you've made the right choice.
What makes this property unique
The Palms is the perfect mix of private home and luxury hotel. It has the amenities and personality of a private home while also offering daily cleaning, towel service and an awesome concierge. In COVID-19 times, it's also perfect fit for distancing, with very low density grounds and beach.
