Perfection!
We had the most incredible time in Playa Flamingo at Keith's house. We are so grateful! The house had EVERYTHING we could have asked for, and more! Lush towels, kitchen well stocked, comfortable beds, blackout shades! We used the concierge for grocery delivery, ordered groceries ahead of time so that they were at the house when we arrived. Highly recommend! It was about an hour drive from the airport, we DID get a rental car, and we were glad we had one (we like to explore). Roads were bumpy in places, but not too bad.The beach at Playa Flamingo is beautiful -- long stretch of soft white sand, warm water, sunsets were pristine! We loved the staff on the grounds too -- they were so hospitable and welcoming -- fresh towels to lay out on the beach. There are also paddleboards and boogie boards you can use for free, and very comfortable beach lounging chairs. This is a private residence, but it feels like a hotel! It was SO nice having a cleaning service every day! There are several restaurants within walking distance, or you could take a car/golf cart. As far as activities, we did an ATV tour, a catamaran/snorkling tour, and a hike to the La Leona waterfall. All three were INCREDIBLE, memorable, beautiful, adventurous, fun. This was our first trip to Costa Rica and we LOVED it and will definitely be back. Thank you for sharing your home with us Keith! It was a dream!

Great Property, with an excellent staff. Grounds were well maintained and beautiful. Beach and sunsets were some of the best we have experienced. The owner of the Villa we rented was exceptional to work with, for airport transportation, local restaurants and excursions. Highly recommend this resort.

Sunshine and Blue Skis!
This was our first trip to the Palms & Costa Rica so we didn't know what was in store. Nevertheless, IT WAS FABULOUS! This property is lovely from you entering the gate all the way to the ocean. The staff was on top of anything we needed at any time. The villa itself was very accommodating, clean, up-to-date furnishings, comfortable sectional in the living area, & the master bedroom bed was amazingly comfortable. Keith, the owner, was in contact with us to give us pointers about the area and to make sure we had what we needed at the Palms and the villa itself. He was attentive to our every need and want! YES, I would re-book this property again and again 1000%. Pura Vida!!!

If you are looking for a location, you can call Paradise, this is it. From the amenities to the service to the location, this property is hard to beat. The only risk of giving this review is it it will be harder to rent, but I think everyone should have a chance to experience time at this property The host goes above beyond and the staff does as well.

10+++ property, location and host!
This was our third visit to The Palms on Flamingo Beach. Although all the units we stayed in were lovely, this unit (16) exceeded our expectations at every level and will be our number 1 choice for future visits. The furnishings were all very high quality and the villa had everything we could ever need. The bed in the master bedroom was very comfortable and the kitchen was fully equipped. The concierge team was outstanding and scheduling activities and dinner reservations through them was very easy. What really set our experience apart from prior trips was the host, Keith. He contacted us several times prior to our trip and stayed in touch throughout our visit. You can tell he genuinely cared about ensuring we had a great experience. I can't thank Keith enough for making this a truly memorable vacation!

Fantastic vacation villa
My family stayed at the Palms Villa over Xmas. The property is superbly appointed, just steps from the pools and pristine beach. The owner was extremely responsive and helpful with lots of tips and contacts, and the concierge helped us book several excursions which were fantastic. Very quiet and relaxing. Definitely 5 stars, and I'm a picky customer. Top notch.

Great accommodations
The accommodations were as expected. Very good for two couples. The owner , Keith, was in constant touch. He also made a car available for us to use at a reasonable cost. We found several good restaurants nearby at the marina - Hazel’s , Matias and Surf Box. Next to the resort is PoloLoco which is a casual beach front eatery. We did a couple of excursions. The sunset cruise was nice - an afternoon out to the rocks in the distance. We also did the tour to Nicaragua. Brutal- 16 hours - most in a crammed van. Not recommended unless you want to punish yourselves. All good - Pura Vida !

Absolute Paradise!
My husband, our 11 yo and twin 8 yo daughters and best friend had a truly spectacular stay. I was particularly impressed with how comfortable the bed and linens were, and how well appointed we found the kitchen and supplies. It was easy to cook at the house, the the restaurants in walking distance were delicious. Having a washer/dryer allowed us to pack light. Our experience with management was wonderful. It was our twins eighth birthday, and they went out of their way to find decorations and a birthday cake, despite very little notice to our request. There were also very helpful and arranging surfing lessons and drivers etc. Every single person we interacted with was lovely and helpful. The manager Keith made himself very available, as did the staff. The cleaner Nancy was very flexible with our schedule and assisted daily. It’s a great combo of private rental and high touch hotel experience. The location turned out to be the favorite trip of our entire party. The pictures do not do it justice. It is just absolute paradise to look out onto that beautiful beach and ocean, whether you’re looking from your bedroom window or the pool, etc. the water is perfect, not too strong for the kids, warm and free of jellyfish. Honestly, this is place is paradise and we hope to be back soon! My only regret is flying into San Jose instead of Liberia (6 hour drive instead of less than one). We’ll book smarted next time. Can’t wait!

Perfect
This villa is the absolute perfect place to stay for a trip to the Pacific coast of Costa Rica. Playa Flamingo was a beautiful location, and the home is on the absolute best spot on the beach! The description was completely accurate, except it couldn't even fully highlight how wonderful the place is. The views were amazing. The location of the specific villa couldn't have been better. The amenities were great. The pool and the beach are clean and lovely. And the communication with the owner/manager/concierge couldn't be beat. We had the most fabulous time, and so would anyone who stays there. The only thing we would mention that wasn't exactly to our liking was the loft bed. It was really quite high, with a low railing that we didn't feel was safe enough for our 9-year-old. It also was very hot up and stuffy up there. We worked out different sleeping arrangements (using the super comfortable living room sofa!) and it was just fine. Just wanted to share that with anyone who might be considering using that sleeping space. It did not detract in any way our enjoyment of the home. We loved it.

This was our second stay at The Palms and it was amazing. The combination of the pools with the best beach in Flamingo was perfect for our family. The owner was super attentive, messaged us to make sure we had everything we needed and provided us with the location of several local restaurants. The concierge service is quick and responsive to any requests or questions. Additionally, daily housekeeping in a condo is a huge plus. We're already planning our next trip back!

Everything as promised!
Keith was so easy to work with. He responded promptly to any inquiries, and we felt that he really wanted us to have a great stay! The house is beautiful, spacious and clean, and the view is incredible. Our family thought the loft bed looked uncomfortable and a bit treacherous with the ceiling beams and the height. We didn't use it but we thought other visitors might want to take this into consideration depending on their level of comfort. We have zero complaints about our stay! We would not hesitate to stay at the villa again.

Slice of Paradise
The Palms is an oasis! We travelled around the area and loved the activities, but the sunsets and beach (steps from the villa) here are unsurpassed. Pool and grounds are immaculate, Keith the property manager is a total peach, very attentive and kind. Room service/poolside service from Coco Loco is an easy and yummy choice. The great concierges helped to arrange grocery delivery, drivers and and activities for us: We did a private boat tour and snorkel adventure from the local marina (saw manta-Ray, turtle, tropical fish, pod of dolphins, caught fish!), loved that, and did a sunset horseback tour of the beach and local hilltops (incredible!). Fabulous sunset lounge/appetizers at Sentido Norte (local restaurant at a resort), yummy dinner at Hemmingways, days of lounging at the beach and pool. Place is very comfortable, exactly as pictured, very nice design and comfortable beds. All the amenities of an exclusive resort, without the hassle of all the guests. Plus: Monkeys outside your door. :) who could as for more? We will definitely be back, our all time top favorite family vacation.

Paradise in Playa Flamingo
We had such a great time at this property! From check-in to check-out, we had great communication with the owner Keith. He was so sweet to recommend some great restaurants in the area and made a special effort to ensure our 7 year old had a great time. The property itself is absolutely beautiful with the most perfect view of the pool and the beach. You can hear the ocean waves crashing if you crack open a window, which is just the best sound to fall asleep to. Another treat is the bartender down by the pool who serves the most delicious fruit concoctions (both alcoholic and non-alcoholic). This was a very pleasant surprise! We met tons of nice families with kids our son's age, but the place was overall very relaxing and quiet. The visitors to this property certainly maintain a peaceful atmosphere. The location was great as well. You are very close to the new Marina (rent a catamaran, you won't regret it!) and some great places to eat. We cannot wait to go back sometime in the future and bring more of our family! The sunsets each night are some of the best we've ever seen. 5 out 5 all around. Thanks so much Keith for sharing this gorgeous property with us!

The owner reached out ahead of my stay to make sure all was good to go. The check in process was easy and the villa was very clean and extremely well supplied. Pools are clean and service is good. Beach is one of the prettiest in Costa Rica. Nice outdoor grilling area. The only negative i can say is that they aren’t very hospitable toward children, so if you have small children you might want to look elsewhere!

Villa 18 was extraordinary!
My initial contact with Keith all the way to the check out process was a truly easy, extraordinary experience! Keith is always available for any question you have before you arrive to help with any issue or for recommendations while you’re there. The only issue we had was having to cancel our fishing trip due to high winds. But Keith contacted the owner of the charter for us and 100% of my money was immediately refunded. The property was immaculate and right on the beach. Even from the Infiniti pool you were only a few feet from the beach. If you like to work out they have a very nice gym and my daughter and I got massages on the beach! The kitchen at the Villa was stocked with everything you could possibly need to cook dinner for your entire family and the views from the Villa were breathtaking. The concierge and the rest of the staff at the Villa were so nice and are there for anything you need along with Keith. I would highly recommend Villa 18 and hope to come back again soon! Pura Vida!

You’ll want to come back!
From the moment we booked the villa, Keith the owner came back to us and asked “ only 3 nights” “ you will regret not staying longer”. I explained how our family was visiting different parts of the country. Well Keith was absolutely right! My 22 and 19 year olds who did not want a VRBO were first to say “ why didn’t we stay here longer”. This location, the villa , the staff, and Keith were all amazing! Nice surprises: Poolside bar 12-6pm. Charges directly go to your room. Nice and convenient.! Coco Loco restaurant close by. Walk to it for nice evening out. Stay in and order and enjoy quiet dinner at your villa. Food was great! Enjoy all the boogie boards, pool noodles, etc honor system,! Want a massage? Don’t need to go far. Nice cabana set up on the property. Bikes on the premises! Best yet. Location , location! Beach, pool, peace! We will be coming back!
