Owner's Profile
Year Purchased: 2002
Why the Owner Chose Flamingo Beach
Guanacaste is the driest, sunniest part of Costa Rica. There is usually a slight breeze, so no bugs! And of course, you get to see glorious sunsets over the ocean, 365 days a year!!
The Unique Benefits of this Home with infinity edge pool
It's the VIEW, VIEW, VIEW!!!!!! The ever-changing vista is what I like most about my home. You can stay on the beach, but at night, all you see is darkness. At my home, during the day, you see gorgeous views of the ocean, islands, surf, mountains and valleys. At night, you see all the lights below the home. Breathtaking!!

We loved the peacefullness of this wonderful home. The view is fantastic. It has been a very relaxing, after a week of traveling. love the beach at Conchal. We have never been on a total shell beach. It was just gorgeous and the water crystal clear. The dinner at Marco Polo was very good. Last night the buffet was very expensive, $26 per person, but they also allowed us to order a pizza, which was reasonable and very good. We saw a lot of howler monkeys, while signing up for horseback riding with Marvin, down the road. The pool is wonderful after an afternoon at the beach. We returned to Conchal beach for snorkeling. Definitely worth it. If you don't have your own gear the rent it for $5 per hour. Beautiful fish. Family enjoyed HB riding on the beach. It was nice to meet Rick after many emails and phone conversations. We went to see your new homes on the hill. They were fantastic. We even enjoyed a Red Sox game one evening. I hope to get back to CR. Love this country. Barbara, David, Laura and Jamie Spinner. Newton, MA

We had an amazing honeymoon here at Casa Prieta. We will a little scared on the ride up here, but thankfully, a mix up with Poas rent a car (we weren't about to drive a stick shift), gave us our own chauffeur for an evening. The views from this house are what brought us here to CR and we were definitely not disappointed. Here are a few things we thought we could add to the wisdom to this guest book. 1. If you are from a big city (we're from Chicago) and you're used to going to dinner at 9:30 PM, beware, that most restaurants closed at 9:30 PM. 2. We found the best service at Marco Polo and Marie's as well as fabulous food (try the shishkabobs at Maries for lunch, they are fantastic) 3. Las Arcadas on the road to Brasilito (on the left) is a beautiful restaurant and the only one that was not open air only. Amazing food, but small selection-no chicken. 4. We found horrible service at Perro Planno, but great tempura. 5. The Flamingo Marina Resort had good lobster, but not worth the price. 6. Petite Paris in Flamingo Hotel across from Century 21 has a fabulous massages for a great price of $45 for an hour. The masseuse and owner is incredible and very nice. 7. Snorkeling with the crew on Somonique (388-7870) is definitely worth the $70 and I must do before leaving CR. The food and sailing worth it alone, snorkeling near some of the islands is amazing and you will definitely see an unforgetable sunset. 8. You have to find Playa Conchal. It's the most beautiful beach around and has the best snorkeling (5000 Colones for an hour). 9. The highlight of our trip has been the horseback riding at sunset and again at sunrise. It's down the hill on the left, 654-4469. Marvin is the owner and Jose was our guide. MArvin speaks Engish and is very knowledgeable and nice. Jose is adorable and also very knowledgeable, but only speaks Spanish, so ask Marvin what you need to know. We had so much fun with Jose, we went a second time. The price was amazing and the horses have a beautiful gallop. Don't ride Guappo, if you want to ride in the water. 10. The flora and fauna around the house are incredible, let the frogs (or are they toads) sing to you in the pool at sunset. Leave all the lights off when you go outside, or you may want to use bug spray to bed. We were sad we never got to see the howler monkeys. Hope you have a great time here. We sure did! We really hope to be back soon. Nikki and ryan, Chicago, USA

Well Rick, our 2 week trip is coming to an end and we're very sad to leave this paradise! Your home and the people you have selected to support this operation are exceptional. They go the extra mile and will help you build this bussiness into one to be very proud of! Jorge was extremely helpful and our "rock" during our stay. He actually took his Sunday afternoon and came to the airport in Tamarindo to pick us up when our car company failed to show! We are especially fond of Anna (maid)~if we could adopt her, we would. Not only is she very skilled in her work, she is a great human being! Thanks again! We'll be back!

Our trip was awesome. Thanks! You have an incredible home. Sometimes when you go on vacation, you see things that you never seen before and do things you never done before. This country is beautiful, but best of all this house/vacation better helped me to find myself and realize that in any situation, the only battle you lost is the one you never fight. So to anyone that stays here, to enjoy your stay and live life to the fullest, because if you don't, you never know what you might miss out on. Have fun and DO IT ALL!
