Slice of paradise

We stayed for 3 nights and had a great time. Breathtaking views. Spacious 2 bedroom unit. Perfect for families. Good proximity to restaurants and beaches but having a car is a must. The pool was too cold to swim in because it is in the shade and not heated. We lost water for 3 hours but the management company was very responsive. Highly recommend this gem.

Just amazing

We stayed a week (9/30-10/7/23). The condo is large, beautiful, well decorated, well maintained, and very well decorated. The view of the Gulf of Papagayo is just stunning. We watched many beautiful sunrises and sunsets from the large and comfortable patio. Not to mention several birds and also howler monkeys in nearby trees. It was amazing. The kitchen was well equipped, and basic supplies (dishwasher pods, laundry detergent, toilet paper) were all supplied, and not just one pod/load/roll but more than enough for 2 people for a week. The number of bath linens and pool towels provided were more than enough and very good quality. The drive to/from the nearby town of Coco to visit the nearest restaurants and supermarkets is really the only drawback to this condo in my opinion. While completely passable it’s a 20-minute drive with some rather bumpy spots. Don’t be afraid of the drive - I just found it longer and rougher than I would have wanted. And while we did have a minor maintenance issue (the television in the living room had a speaker problem and really wasn’t usable), the Krain property manager came out to see the issue and contacted the condo owner, who graciously had the television replaced the next day. Really top notch response by the management and owner - and much appreciated since it was (American) football season! The condo, supplies, equipment, and views were all top-notch. We would gladly stay again.

The condo was very nice. The water pressure in the 2 secondary bathroom showers was very low so I called Byron, the property manager, to let him know. He got back to me within an hour and had someone there to fix the problem the next day. The beds were comfortable and everything was very clean and neat. The views from every room are breathtaking. We loved hanging out in the pool, which is only a few steps away, watching the numerous types of birds and taking in the amazing ocean views. Covered parking and first floor location are also pluses. Would definitely stay here again.

Beautiful Property

Check-in was a breeze and David was informative and willing to help with any questions. The condo was in great condition and well stocked with cooking equipment, including plates, silverware, and cutlery. Pots and pans were in excellent shape and they have a washer/dryer for your convenience. The patio has a wonderful ocean view and a propane grill. The Master bathroom shower was awesome and very spacious.

Only one disappointment is the management staff.... Unresponsive, didnt check up on us, we asked for gas for the grill to cook so we wouldn’t have to leave every night for dinner.... He said he would bring it but never did and never responded....if we come back definitely i dont want to work with him again

Amazing view!

This condo was even better in person than it looked in the photos. The road up is really steep but we were fine in our little two wheel drive vehicle (it’s paved.) But once you’re up there, it’s worth it for the view! The space is nice and open, well decorated, the kitchen has everything you could need to cook with, washer and dryer in the unit were a bonus. The pool was clean and we always had it to ourselves. Ocotal beach is only a seven minute drive down the hill and Father Roosters has a fun vibe and the food is good. We loved sunsets on the beach but also up on porch with a margarita! It’s true that nothing is walkable and to leave the property you need to drive, but we felt like it was worth it for the peace and quiet and the view. We almost never go back to the same place for vacation, but we’d come back and stay in the same place it was so great!

Exquisite Property and View!!!

This property is 5 star. Artistic and elegant decor--better than the photos. Spacious. We spent the entire stay on the large balcony enjoying the view which changed from sunrise to sun down. The pool was also nice. You definitely need a car and to come prepared with your own food. Pizza wouldn't deliver there--too far--and no stores nearby. There's a grill on the balcony. Father Rooster restaurant is close by and decent and on the beach. We enjoyed the view so much we skipped the beach this time. Only had two nights but we loved it.

Decent place for the value

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very dirty. I was somewhat unhappy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Nice location but a bit hard to find on the first try. The complex is nice but you can tell it's on it's way out! Sadly, such a nice spot but the advance planning was flawed. Half the complex never materialized . Maria was great! Housekeeping was NOT GOOD!...the comforter on the bed was blood stained and left there. Thankfully, Maria changed it out. Overall for the value a nice place to stay. Lastly, advertised as a top notch kitchen it lacked many supplies to cook with.

Fantastic Condo

The condo was fantastic with great views of the Pacific. We basically had the pool to ourselves, as our pool just served 4 condos. The staff could not have been more helpful. Maria in particular was great, helping with more than just checking us in, but finding our way to local restaurants, etc. Only caveat is that the condos are WAY up a very steep hill. It’s not clear from the listing that you’re a ten minute drive from the beach and 20 to town. Had a car, so no problem, but it’s a tough climb, particularly at night. Small price to pay for the view. Also, place could use an outdoor shower at least to get the sand off your feet.

gorgous views

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We spent the last 4 days of our Costa Rica holiday in this condo. The condo itself is in kind of an elite area, top of the hill with gatekeepers, and very quiet. We had the entire building to ourselves. Lovely view, and the condo is on a large scale, with comfortable furniture. Our only negative comment would be regarding the glass-enclosed toilet - kind of weird place for no privacy! And there should be some stickers or something on all the bathroom glass - I did not expect that wall and smacked my forehead so hard I sported two lovely black eyes for the last week of my holiday. The area is fun to explore, many beautiful beaches,and some good restaurants, especially around Protrero and Brasilito.
