CASA SUNDOG DESIGN
The design concept was to create an open-plan indoor-outdoor living space that allows a large family to enjoy both the open-air tropical climate and or retreat, to cool, air-conditioned spaces. This was achieved through the conscious use of extended shaded terraces adjacent to every living area throughout the home. Every room has individual cooling with personal split AC units and all bedrooms have double-lined blackout blinds.

Finished in early 2021. This luxury home consists of 5 bedrooms, 2 living rooms, 7 covered terraces, an indoor kitchen, an outdoor bar, indoor/outdoor dining, a Saltwater pool, and a Jacuzzi all set over 2 floors with a total of 5500sqft.


Whether it is retreating to privacy for your afternoon siesta on your personal hammock decking, watching a game at the poolside bar, or drinking cocktails in the jacuzzi jets, life is good at casa Sundog!


CASA SUNDOG LOCATION
Set on the 2nd hole of the exclusive Hacienda Pinilla golf course there is an abundance of nature and privacy that surrounds the property. Howler monkeys, roaming deer and flying macaws are all daily sights from the poolside lounge.

Leaving the gated community it is just a short golf cart ride down to the beach club on the white sand of Playa Avellanas.

The house has a MistAway mosquito misting system installed that is programmed to automatically spray a very fine mist of a mild botanical insecticide through a nozzle circuit installed around your property. With just two or three short mists per day, mosquitoes and other annoying insects disappear from our property yard.

Whether it is In house catering, sunset cruises, adventure tours, or even tips to secluded beaches our team has the local knowledge to assist in planning the ultimate tropical experience. Transportation to and from Liberia International Airport, the San Jose International Airport, or booking a rental car can also be arranged. We are available and on-call 24/7

This was our second stay at Casa Sundog and it was just as amazing as the first time. The house is incredible, the location is perfect, and Mergie (the on-site host) is awesome! If you’re lucky enough to find open dates for this house, do not hesitate to book - there is no better place to stay at Hacienda Pinilla!

Pura Vida!

Casa Sundog was an amazing home that provided our large group of 8 with plenty of space and high end amenities. We especially enjoyed the well appointed kitchen, outdoor dining, pool and bar area. Our daily cleaning lady, Leandra, was delightful, hard working and a joy to have around. Our host was extremely helpful with arranging chef services, transportation, zip line excursion, and golf tee times. We can't wait to return to Costa Rica and Casa Sundog!

Casa Sundog for the win!

We rented for a week with four couples for our first visit to Costa Rica. Hacienda Pinilla property with amenities was perfect for everything we wanted during the week. House was perfect and the housekeeper who was there daily was so great to us! Beach club, golf, horseback riding and mountain bikes were right there and Longcosta beach was beautiful for relaxing. We rented a car from the location at the Marriott right down the road which was really convenient also. Quick 20 minutes into Tamrindo and approximately 90 mins to/from Liberia airport so everything was very close. Will definitely book again!

You can’t miss this house!

This rental was outstanding! The home was pristine, communication with Mergie was exceptional. She was always helpful leading up to the trip and helped us the entire time we were there as well! The transportation was flawless and they accommodated all of our needs! The house is beautiful and clean, kitchen fully stocked but still a great home for young kids, we had 4 kids under the age of 5! Leandra helped with preparing breakfast every day and cleaning and she was such a gift to us the whole trip! We loved hacienda pinilla, the beach club and the beach itself. So many shells and tide pools to explore! We absolutely loved everything about this trip and can’t wait to come back!! Pura Vida!

Excellent Vacation Rental

Casa Sundog was a great place to spend a week celebrating a birthday with extended family. The house was just as shown in the photos and the outdoor living was really enjoyable. The daily housekeeper, Layandra, was amazing and a magician in the kitchen. She turned out a wonderful breakfast with very few groceries each day as we struggled with what to buy! One thing to note is that it took approximately 30 minutes to get into Tamarindo by car. I didn’t realize it was so far when booking. If being where eve action is located, you might look for another property. This development is beautiful with nice amenities but a distance from restaurants, shopping, and grocery stores.

Beautiful Home in Amazing Location

We stayed at the gorgeous Sun Dog casa for 10 days with 2 family. It was a perfect set up with 2 masters downstairs and a bunk room for the smaller kids. Two private bedrooms upstairs that housed the teenagers. The house was almost too inviting and perfect, making it difficult to leave to explore the area! The open modern concept of the home made a seamless transition from the inside to the outside, with a wonderful outdoor entertainment bbq area and comfortable seating around the relaxing pool. It seems they thought of every thing a vacationer could want with every tool in the kitchen (down to a citrus juicer) and plenty of gear for the beach. Though, the biggest plus was having a fantastic property manager Mergie, who was always available, helped us book our tours and walked us through the Covid testing process which could have been very stressful without her knowledge. Thank you Sun Dog and Mergie for making our trip so easy and memorable!! We can’t wait to come back!!

Wonderful Property

We had a wonderful time at Casa Sundog over the holidays in 2021. The house is beautiful and spacious for two families (10 people total). The layout is perfect with a large communal living/dining/kitchen space and a separate games/TV room and good separation with the sleeping quarters. The pool and outdoor area are the best part of the property and are terrific for hanging out as a group. A few of items to highlight about the property; 1) Joel and Mergie were very responsive and helped us book transportation and solving minor issues at the house, 2) the bedding, bath towels and beach towels were luxurious and there are plenty of them, 3) the pantry has an extra fridge which is a bonus and the kitchen is very well equipped, 4) we rented golf carts from Paradise Cart Rentals ( paradisecartrentals.com) to ride around Hacienda Pinilla including the Beach Club, golf course or the Marriott – you need either golf carts or a car – nothing is walking distance, 5) there is limited restaurants nearby, suggest booking Pura Vida Catering (garrett@puravidacateringcr.com) for dinners cooked at the house, the Beach Club for lunch, park at the Beach Club and walking to Lola’s for lunch and if you book in Tamarindo for dinners, you need to arrange transportation. The beach at Hacienda Pinilla was the most amazing surprise, so beautiful and wide open, great for surfing or playing in the waves, not crowded with lovely sand to walk on and the most amazing sunsets. Highly recommend Casa Sundog for a family vacation.

Awesome and relaxing Xmas

We had a great stay at Casa Sundog, with 13 people for part of our stay (three families of four and one grandparent), and then 9 people through the remainder of the stay. The house is spacious and everyone enjoyed the pool and jacuzzi, and the fact that kids and/or sports fans can head into the game room area for TV viewing and ping pong leaving the main area for relaxation and discussion. Hacienda Pinilla is well-located near some nice beaches, a number of nearby restaurants outside the gated Hacienda Pinilla property, and the Marriott Beach club is also great. Try Lola's, Taco Taco, and Il Rustico for some nearby restaurants, and plan for a chill day beachside or relaxing under the palms at Lola's. The Vida Pinilla team (property manager) do a great job and they are very responsive to questions and requests. We had a few minor issues/questions related to the house, and they sent people over immediately to check/fix things. Heading into the vacation, we really didn't think we needed the housekeeper each morning (she comes from 8-12), but in fact it was great having her to cook breakfast, prepare coffee, do dishes, help with laundry etc. We were totally spoiled by her. The kitchen and dining area are spacious and the kitchen is well-equipped. We prepared several meals and all the cooks in the family were happy with the wide variety of kitchenware, etc. You can't go wrong with Casa Sundog and the Vida Pinilla team. Pura Vida!

Peaceful Paradise - Perfect for all ages

Our stay at Casa Sundog was more perfect than we could have anticipated. Upon arrival, we were all shocked by how beautiful the home and property was. The pictures online do not do it justice. There was plenty of space for our group of 12 to spread out and have privacy, along with the common areas to relax, eat and enjoy. The bunk room and rec room were perfect for the four kids staying - ages 3, 7, 10 and 11. I will point out there there are only showers in this house, no bathtub. It wasn't a problem for us at all, but I could see how this might be helpful if you have younger kids. The rest of the rooms were wonderful too. Beds were a little hard, especially in the room closest to the bunk room, but thankfully we all crashed hard at the end of the day where nobody had trouble sleeping. The only hiccup we had the entire time was communication with management for transportation. They were super attentive and nice, but communication was regularly crossed between dealing with two different people, texting, and using WhatsApp. It got confusing at times. You can't just order an Uber last minute to go shopping, etc. so research what you want to do and plan ahead if possible. And absolutely get a golf cart for your stay to explore and get to the beach club. Overall, everyone left saying it was "the best vacation ever". We'd happily stay here again. Management, housekeeping, and the people of Costa Rica were all incredible. Pura Vida. We can't wait to come back.

Great place to relax

They stay was as expected, nice, clean, great location. The beach club just changed their policy to 5 entry for adults (and it doesn't count towards food). The pool needs a little bit of freshening up and tile repair but is in pretty goood shape regardless. The hot tub needs to be fixed as well (currently it doesn't get hot but stays pool temp) but it's still a nice place to sit and relax in warm water.

We loved staying at Casa Sundog!

This house looks exactly like the pictures - such a great vacation home, especially with the indoor-outdoor open-plan space. Leandra the housekeeper was wonderful. She also doubled as a breakfast chef, which was amazing. Tati, Joel, and Mergie, were all very responsive to our inquires and questions. We definitely would recommend renting a car if you want to explore the area in and around Tamarindo though, as transport can be quite expensive and also challenging on short notice. Highly recommend the private chefs, but especially Garrett. We were so impressed with every single thing we ate (which ended up being three dinners.) Also recommend dinner at Lola's for a sunset, such a cool spot. Can't go wrong with Casa Sundog - top notch and very secure and safe.

Great House for Large Groups

We loved everything about this house! The kitchen was fully stocked for cooking and making large dinners, the game room perfect, and the pool was hit with the kiddos- it was raining the entire time we were there so I didn’t spend much time in the pool but it was gorgeous. The hot tub was cool but when I reached out to the management team they had someone there in a matter of minutes to fix it. The management team was amazing and we absolutely love Leandra!!! We will definitely be coming back to this house in the next year or two!

Casa Sundog was perfect for our group of 13 adults. Beautiful inside and out. Spacious and clean and I can’t say enough for Leandra our housekeeper. How she kept up with us. I’ll never know she was truly a gem. We were so thankful to have her. The concierge team, Tatiana, David, and Mergie were so very helpful and attentive to our every need. They definitely went over and above what I expected them to do, and responded to all of our questions and concerns immediately.

Perfect family vacation!

Casa Sundog Villa is a perfect home for a family gathering. It offers several places to gather as a group or escape for some down time. Our house keeper Leandra was a delight! She came every morning and was available to cook breakfast and kept the place immaculate. We enjoyed time by the pool, visiting the Beach Club and exploring the three beaches within Hacienda Pinilla. Our favorite beach was the very private Playa Langosta! Staying within Hacienda Pinilla offers something for all members of your party including golf, horseback riding, mountain biking, tennis and pickleball. We hope to visit again!
