We had an absolutely fantastic stay at this property and a huge part of the experience was thanks to the incredible proptery manager. From the moment we booked, communication was clear, prompt and genuinely welcoming. He went above and beyond to make sure every detail of our stay was comfortable. The home itself was exactly as described - clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully stocked with everything we needed. But what really stood out was the level of care and attention the manager provided. He was always available to answer questions and made us feel completely at ease throughout our visit.We wouldn't hesitate to stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a stree free enjoyable getaway

The pictures don’t do justice to how beautiful and large the house is. Amazing art throughout! Beautiful view. We had a chef come for 3 breakfasts and 2 dinners. The kitchen was fully equipped. We had 7 family members and the 5 bedrooms and separate bathrooms for 4 of the bedrooms plus powder room gave us lots of privacy. The hot tub was great. You are at the top of a mountain with beautiful views but you cannot walk to a beach, so the description of the property is somewhat deceptive. It’s an easy drive to several different beaches though. We loved our stay. Highly recommend this property.

The house was absolutely perfect—far better than the pictures in the listing! We were a group of 9 (5 adults and 4 kids), and it fit our needs beautifully. The kids couldn’t get enough of the pool and loved being so close to the beach. The adults appreciated the convenience of a very short drive to the beach and the chance to truly relax without having to worry about a thing.We did have one minor hiccup when the water was off for a few hours, but we simply headed to the beach and by the time we returned, it was back on. Alex, the house manager, was fantastic—attentive, responsive, and made sure our stay was completely stress-free.Truly a perfect getaway. Pura Vida!

Amazing place, not near beach

We loved the place. It was huge and clean. There were 9 of us and we had so much extra room! Super clean and well equipped.Our only gripe was that the posting made it seem a lot closer to the beach than it was. It’s a 5 minute drive to the beach, not walkable. The pin drop makes it look like it’s a block from the beach.

The home was fantastic! The location was 5-10 minutes from two beach towns with a ton of restaurant options and stunning sunsets. The pool is phenomenal and the entire home is designed to comfortably handle 10 adults/kids and would be an incredible place to entertain. Simply great experience!

amazing trip and unbeatable view

We had a group of 8 stay and there was ample space for everyone. The pictures do not do this house and view justice. The location was perfect for us and was quiet at the house but close to restaurants and activities for all. The house manager Alex and the concierge staff were all wonderful and very prompt in response time and communication. I would definitely recommend, and we are actively looking into when we can come back and enjoy again!

House was amazing and the view was jaw dropping! Pictures online did not come close to what this looked like in person. Location was great and pretty central for shopping, restaurants, local fishing and several local beaches - all about 10 to 15 minutes away. House is also in a very secure gated community. Only thing we didn’t get to see were the little white faced monkeys, despite several early morning trips to the recommended beach in search of them. Zindis did a nice job of helping us book excursions, provided an itinerary for the week and sent reminders each evening of what we had on the schedule for the next day. Would highly recommend this house if you are looking for a place to relax as well as go out to see the country.

Beautiful, quiet, clean property with a million dollar view. The property was one of the highlights of our trip and the perfect place to relax and cook dinner after our daily excursions.

We travel frequently, and this is one of the most beautiful homes we've ever rented. It's breathtaking. The gorgeous setting, views, pool and interior decor made it difficult to want to leave the house for tours or beach time. (but we did of course!) The Playa Hermosa and Playa Panama beaches just minutes away were quiet and safe for our three little monkeys (grandchildren) to romp in the surf. Concierge service was excellent and prompt to help. The chef they recommended for a couple of suppers-in was superb. I think my highlights of the house itself were the tropical flora and fauna murals in various places on a wall or ceiling and at the pool house, plus the Boruca mask collection. Accessing the property, a rental car with all wheel drive is highly recommended. The steep entrance driveway to the community is a bear when the pavement is wet!
