  My friends and I take several trips every year and due to a coin toss this January we lucked out and went to Costa Rica. We rented this property for week, we arrived just before sunset... WOW! The photos in this vrbo listing does not do it justice! Freddy & Louisa are wonderful. Everything you need is at the house and it's roughly a 15 minute drive from the closest beach and the town of Samara. You could hear the sound of Howler Monkies through out the day... there were a few on the property during our stay! The sunsets are remarkable from Hacienda San Fernando. Do you see how everyone writes you need a 4x4 to get up the driveway? It's TRUE! This is a perfect house for any group travelling.

  8 of us stayed at Hacienda San Fernando for a week. The views are unbelievable and the pictures do not do it justice. The driveway really does need a 4x4 to navigate, but after the first couple of trips it doesn't seem so bad. Excellent vacation hideaway if you want seclusion and close enough to many fun excursions. Freddy and Luisa were very patient, friendly and accommodating, but brush up on you Spanish before you go. Playa Barrigona is a must see (if you can find it) and Flying Crocodiles Gyro-copter was my personal highlight. We did see monkeys on the property as well and tarantulas and scorpions! Awesome property, highly recommended

  A four wheel drive vehicle is a must if you wish to drive up to this mountain top paradise. In every sense, Costa Rica is a very peaceful and relaxing paradise. Hacienda San Fernando is all that and more.To open the back doors onto the beautiful pool side and slide or jump into the gorgeous pool at the end of an adventurous day was one way to get refreshed, share a visit with the howler monkies and watch the most incredible sunsets. We found it to be stress free to say the least.The most beautiful beaches, Samara, Carrillo and Barrigona beaches are all close by and stunning. The care takers, Freddie, Louisa and Ivan are all very nice and beautiful people. We found them to be very helpful. They had everything ready and waiting for us to begin our incredible week at Hacienda San Fernando which was gorgeous. We loved every minute of our stay! We have traveled to places around the world and our only annual return will be to Hacienda San Fernando for the peace of mind and relaxation found only here.

  By the time we reached the end of the 1/2 mile long driveway we knew we had arrived at a very special place. Touring the grounds and the three homes that we rented confirmed that Hacienda San Fernando is a very special place. The interior of the homes was immaculate. There were beach and bath towels enough for our entire party of ten adults. The kitchen in the main house has all new applicances including a new refrigerator, stove, microwave oven, toaster, blender and coffee maker. While the maid happily laundered our clothes, I did notice that the washing machine was also new. Freddy, the caretaker, and Louisa, the housekeeper, could not have been more kind and helpful. We loved Hacienda San Fernando. The nearby beaches could not have been more scenic and inviting. A once in a lifetime vacation for sure!

  Upon arrival at Hacienda San Fernando we were struck by the natural beauty of property. Upon entering the main house, we were very impressed by the luxurious furnishings and artwork. The main house and each of the two guesthouses are comfortable, well-furnished and clean. The caretaker, Freddy, and the maid, Louisa, could not have been more helpful and pleasant. Hacienda San Fernando is truly a slice of paradise.

  The pros: great view, lots of room, beautiful pool and jacuzzi (although not warm) and wonderful caretakers onsite. The cons: the driveway is a nightmare, there are not enough linens provided by the owners, it is quite a long drive to the beach, the refridgerator and stove are very small and outdated, the washer and dryer are horrible, there is no hot water in the guest house and you're asked to use the air conditioning very sparingly. Overall, the grounds of this house are very well kept (including the pool), but there are not many trails to walk on. The caretakers were very friendly but speak little to no english so it was difficult to communicate with them. If you're looking to rough it a bit, this is not a bad place, but if you're looking for a relaxing vacation with creature comforts, this may not be the place for you.

  Recommended for: Tourists without a car, adventure seekers.

  This property is truly one of a kind. The views from the patio/pool are incredibly beautiful, much more so than the pictures show. The house/s are very comfortable and never feel crowded even though we were traveling with a large extended family. They are very nicely decorated and have everything you may want, kitchen utensils, pool towels, books, children's DVD's etc... The owner is very helpful, answers all questions quickly and is a wealth of information on the area like hidden beaches, restaurants and other interesting tidbits. There are caretakers that live on the property (in a separate house away from the main compound) and they keep the house and grounds in imaculate shape. They also helped us with grocery shopping and meals (for a separate fee), making our vacation completely worry free. As mentioned by the owner a 4x4 is definitely necessary in order to reach this property, however, once there, it's a true paradise.
