Kai was flexible, making himself available when we checked in. He was welcoming and helpful. We enjoyed the view at night from the upper balcony and watched the birds from there in the morning with coffee. Short walk to a the beautiful beach and walking distance to restaurants. Location on the hill meant evening breezes and quiet.

Well appointed home within 10 minute walk to beach. Has everything you need, and larger than expected. There is no air conditioning, but we were there in 95F and had no problem! The house is atop a hill and the breeze kept the home cool. Host is very responsive and helpful. Saw all sorts of wildlife right out our front door!

Lovely space and so close to the best beaches, playa Ventanas is a gem. Property is beautiful with wonderful wildlife right there. Away from the tourist traps and a true way to appreciate Costa Rica. Host was very kind and personable, was nice to see a host that actually cared about the property and was available.

This was a great place for a family of 5 to stay, I would stay here again. Lots of howler monkeys! It does not have AC so it can be a bit hot in the afternoon, cools down at night pretty well though! For clarity the bedrooms upstairs are as follows, there is a master bedroom with 1 queen bed, the other bedroom is larger with 2 beds in it (queen size I think) and walk out balcony. Both bedrooms upstairs connect to the shared bathroom with tile walk in shower. Main floor is as shown in photos with a bathroom and shower just inside the front door. Outdoor shower as well to rinse off after the beach! The property was very well kept and Kai was very helpful. Easy walk to the beach and you can also walk to Playa Ventanas and Playa Carbon. I would recommend staying here and in Playa Grande vs. Tamarindo if you prefer a much more relaxed vibe. Be careful of rip currents when swimming.

Our stay was awesome with Kai at Casa Linda Vista. First off, his property is privately gated at all times (besides when you show up for the first time). The property is way bigger in person. So many other properties in the area are tight and difficult to get in and out. The house is open with windows and screens surrounding. As you have read, there is no a/c. My family are kind of babies (2 adults, 15 and 17 year old girls) and I'm not going to lie, it got pretty warm during the day and into the evenings. It would cool down nicely and made great sleeping weather. Need to manage shades and breeze accordingly. Tons of wildlife right on the property, monkeys every day hanging out in the trees, iguanas, and a variety of birds. I timed the walk to the beach, 7 minutes there, and a bit longer on the way back as you are tired from hanging out in the ocean all day. Kai was an awesome host and lives on the property. Always wanted to make sure you were having a good time and felt taken care of. He set us up with a ride into Tamarindo for a very fair rate from a nice driver. The only other downside I could think of is that the showers had very low water pressure. Down stairs shower, don't bother unless you're bald. Upstairs shower was better but took the ladies some time to fully clean and rinse their hair. Pro tip. Use the outside shower, great pressure and a great way to keep the sand out of the house. All in all we loved our stay and would highly recommend.Thank you Kai!

Peaceful Oasis in Playa Grande

Our group loved Casa Linda Vista! Really close to the beach, but also private and secluded. We watched birds and monkeys every morning. Tons of vegetation. Incredibly peaceful. Property owner is incredibly helpful and kind. Can't wait to return!

A quiet and peaceful oasis

The house was as advertised. Carefully built to maximize airflow and the option to use 6 additional ceiling fans for extra cooling.Kai has developed a beautiful climate-appropriate landscape that attracted many varieties of birds that we hadn’t seen before. Reasonably easy walk to and from the beach every day. A short but very enjoyable stay!

Perfect place

We( 2 adults and 5 kids from 8 months to 12 years old) had a wonderful time in the House. We especially loved the concept of the house which always gave us the feeling of being with the nature. We often had breakfast together with the lovely monkeys in the surrounding trees. The close by beach is also perfect for kids. We would highly recommend this house.

Beautiful home on lush grounds near the beach

Playa grande is a beautiful spot and a mellow alternative to busy Tamarindo . We had a wonderful stay at Kai’s home which is on two acres of lush grounds overlooking the ocean. We loved the monkeys and iguanas, birds and lizards, the easy walk to the beach and Kai’s wonderful hospitality - anything we needed he was there to help; he had great local recommendations . The house was spacious for the four of us and close to both the beach and restaurants . Would definitely stay again!

Amazing vacation, wonderful property!

You won't regret your stay at this property. Take a quick stroll to the picturesque beach or walk or drive to one of the many local restaurants. We saw lots of wildlife and beautiful one of a kind plants and trees on the property. Every morning the monkeys and morning sun woke us up at exactly 6, which was very nice. Kai is an exceptional host and was always there to help us. A pretty quick drive to Tamarindo for more restaurants and many local artisan/souvenir shops. Thanks again Kai

The Best

I love this place. Kai is an incredible host and the property is beautiful. Like so so so pretty. It's the perfect spot to be close to everything but feel like you're in the middle of nowhere. You can walk to the beach. There are other Casitas on the property, but everyone does their own thing and you rarely see the other guests. I will be back again and again and again. It's not often you discover such a total gem with a host that's gracious, informative and a wonderful human.

Great Property; Great Location; Great Host

Kai's property is beautiful - he has created something special from the surrounding rainforest/jungle. And, with a short walk, you are on Playa Grande, Ventanas Beach, or Playa Carbon. This was our first of four stops during a two-week family vacation with kids ranging from 4 to 17. Everyone had a great time and the property was a great introduction to Costa Rica - with the howler monkeys, iguanas, and other wildlife, and easy access to the ocean. Kai was great to communicate with and always available, but certainly not hovering. He respected our privacy and we got the sense he truly wanted us to enjoy his property - which we did!

Under the Canopy of Trees

We had a truly authentic Costa Rican experience staying at Casa Linda Vista. There were beautiful sunrises and sunsets from this hilltop property. Nature abounds. The best was waking up to the view and the sounds outside our windows . We saw monkeys and birds in the trees, an iguana and even an armadillo. Our host Kai was wonderful and super accommodating. The rooms were very clean and comfortable. We had everything we needed. And very much appreciated was the the extra shower outdoors after walking back from the beach. Local restaurants and a convenience store are also a short walk away.

Perfect welcome to Costa Rica

The host, Kia, makes you feel very welcome and is super helpful. It was a great first stop for our trip to Costa Rica and getting our bearings. The place is beautiful and the beds very comfortable! We definitely got to see monkeys, iguanas, many lizards, frogs, and birds!The beach is a bit of a walk through some construction areas (lots of new homes being built) once you leave the property, but it is worth it for gorgeous beaches that are not crowded. There is even a beach with all black sand and blue waters you can walk to! Kai lent us some boogie boards that the kids LOVED using. His recommendation for a local surfer, Carlos, for lessons was great too. Carlos was a fantastic (and patient) teacher! There are lots of great restaurants in the area, but we also made use of the well stocked kitchen daily to help with our budget. Overall this was a great place to stay!
