Perfect for us

We had a wonderful time at this property. It was perfect for our family - there was lots of space to be together inside and out. The pool got lots of use and the mature trees gave us much needed shade throughout the day. The concierge service helped us book a great chef (chef Luis), horseback riding & fishing. We also appreciated the “house mom”. She was lovely and helped make our stay extra special.

We came to Costa Rica for our son’s wedding. The house is the perfect size for a group of 12+ family and friends. The outdoor seating and pool were a nice benefit after a day in the sun at the beach. Close proximity to the beach club, golf, and several local beach spots. Would definitely stay here again.

Wonderful lodging experience, beautiful home with amenities and scenic views. I believe the property has limitless potential but needs updating of decorative elements.

Great vacation and great location!

We had a great time and really enjoyed the house! We had 8 adults and there was plenty of room for everyone. We really enjoyed the pool in the back at the end of a busy day. The property manager and owner were very responsive and helpful - they helped us book excursions, find an awesome local chef, bring in a excellent massage therapist - so their assistance was really helpful and helped make our vacation. The house was comfortable, located within a short walk to the beach. The location is really awesome! We enjoyed the beach club and other beaches in the Hacienda, we played golf there - it was really the perfect place to stay! We will definitely be back!

This beautiful, spacious house very comfortably accommodated our two families (two couples plus four teenagers). The quiet gated community is very private and feels very safe. We enjoyed the tennis courts and the beach club which are a short golf-cart ride away. There is fantastic surfing at Playa Avellana where the teenagers rented surfboards from Lola's, which is an excellent restaurant right on the beach.

Adventure 55

For my birthday-Adventure 55 Costa Rica was the ideal place for me. This trip had been in the making for 9 months. The photos of the home were eye catching so the home was booked. But the photos did not do the home justice. Walking in the home-it was grand & breathtaking! It accommodated the 8 guests with no problem. The Pacific Ocean is literally less than a 5 minute walk. Brenda with concierge service was an amazing guest relation representative and the private chef, Luis prepared an amazing dinner. The overall experience is unforgettable.

Amazing house and location

Property was exactly as seen on pictures! Huge executive home in a very safe , friendly community! Locals in gated community very friendly and helpful. Amazing quiet beach a 2 minute walk from the house, this beach will also lead you to Beach Club, and Lola's ( about 40 minute walk on beach). We were a group of 11 and decided to use a transport service to where we needed to go as roads aren't the greatest. Dani the concierge was absolutely amazing!! He was always available to help and went above and beyond his duties for our family. We will most certainly be back.

Gorgeous House in Gorgeous Area

First trip to Costa Rica for several of us in the family and we were not disappointed thanks to the amazing Casa Marbella and Omar and Andres, our concierge reps. First impression of the house was jaw-dropping… beyond a beautiful home - it was more than what we were expecting. The open kitchen and family room leading to the gorgeous pool made it easy for our large family of 15 to hang out. The grounds were impeccable, and being next to the JW Marriott was a win-win as well as being next to the beach club, which gave us options. Definitely recommend renting cars so you can explore the surrounding areas. Diana was wonderful at communicating and great to work with. We’ve decided this will become a family tradition and look forward to staying at casa marbella next year. TIP: many local cevicherias - purchase to go with bring it back so you can enjoy it by the pool with a cold beer and some tortilla chips! Will definitely need a car if you plan to do your own grocery shopping to cook a few meals, which is what we ended up doing since prices at tourist restaurants $$$$. Best family vacation ever!! Thank you Diana 😄

Wonderful area for family

By chance, I found Casa Marbella for my family vacation. Little did I know about the Hacienda Pinilla community! It was a wonderful area with 3 private beaches, beach club, golf, horseback riding and mountain biking! And your own Howler Monkeys hanging in the trees to entertain the kids! Casa Marbella was perfect with a beautiful pool, ample space for us to spread out. We ate out and cooked meals in. Modern grocery store not far away. We utilized the owners golf cart and rented a second. We used these all the time to get around the community. The only downside was no water pressure in one bathroom and lack of some basic supplies in the kitchen. The concierge team was most helpful in giving suggestions and arranging for transportation to/from airport and having car delivered directly to the house. Would return in a heartbeat! For restaurants definitely Lola’s and Il Rustico and the Hacienda Beach Club is great for drinks, lunch and dinner. Playa Avellana and Playa Langosta are beautiful.

Perfect

Our travel group consisted of 3 families with teenagers, totaling 10 people. The house was very comfortable, spacious & most importantly clean. Bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms were occupied by parents, teens for other rooms. Master beds were very comfortable. Grounds were well kept & lush. We enjoyed watching the wildlife-monkeys, raccoon, birds, chameleon, squirrels & bats in the backyard. Pool was clean & so refreshing to dip in after a day of activities. Beach was an easy walk or golf cart drive. Beach Club was nice but we enjoyed hanging out at the house pool more. Concierge service was so helpful. Omar always responded quickly to our questions & took care of whatever was needed. We enjoyed all our tours-catamaran/snorkeling, zip lining, horseback riding & white water rafting. Omar was great at getting us lined up with the tour & transportation if we decided not to drive ourselves. Our house-mom, Veronica was the greatest. She was so sweet & fit right in. Highly recommend her! Overall, no complaints on the house. If we ever go back, we would definitely rent again!

Spectacular!

This house lives up to the hype! It is as beautiful in person as it is in the pictures, is well maintained with excellent amenities, but best of all, the owner, Diana, the property manager Cyn and the housekeeper Leydi made our week here one of our best vacations ever. This was our 5th trip to Costa Rica, but we were traveling with two other families who had never been to Costa Rica before. We originally booked the trip for March 2021, but with COVID restrictions, we moved the trip to Memorial Day week. Diana, the owner, was super helpful and accommodating in allowing us to move the trip from March to May. She also provided helpful tips about return testing for the return to the US and even sent us information about where we could order fresh fish to be delivered to the house for dinner on one of the evenings. Cyn, the property manager, is AMAZING and helped us set up several day trips, and she was always very responsive whenever we reached out with a question. Leydi, who is the housekeeper, made us several DELICIOUS meals, (3 dinners and breakfast one day) and she is a delight to be around - always smiling and so pleasant. Be sure to have her make you some guacamole - it was so good we couldn’t get enough of it! Our family travels extensively and we have rented houses in several destinations through VRBO, but this one was definitely one of our best experiences. We hope to return again soon!

Great family vacation large party

I booked this property for a group of 14 people (4 nights), then 11 people (the other 5 nights). The host was fantastic. She answered all of my questions in a timely fashion. I needed a house with strong wifi so that some of my family members could work during our stay. She had someone walk all around the house to ensure that the wifi was strong. The wifi was great everywhere including the back patio over looking the beautiful backward. I had some technical difficulties starting up my international phone service which made initial coordination with the concierge staff difficult. However they went above and beyond to ensure our safe arrival from the airport to the house. The house is beautiful! The beds were all very comfortable, the air conditioning units were strong, the black out curtains helped us all sleep well. The kitchen is generously equipped with plates, bowls, serving dishes, cutlery, all the tools you would need. The plants surrounding the home are mature and gorgeous. It really helped seeing the beautiful tropical plants to transport us out of our regular lives and into vacation mode. Oh, and the monkeys! We saw eight of them over the bocce court on our last day. Great fun with my family on the bocce court and in the swimming pool. The whole neighborhood is beautiful. The beach was an easy three minute stroll away. It was my favorite beach that we visited. Our concierge staff Dani and Mari were outstanding. They assisted with everything we needed. The connected us to an amazing chef who came to the house one night. They also connected us to their housekeeper, Lady, who cooked two fantastic dinners for us. We opted to rent a van and driver rather than a rental car as no one felt brave enough to drive. Our van service was good but it would have been nice to have more freedom to explore without time constraints. Great experience at this beautiful home. Highly recommend!

We booked this house for our annual family vacation which included an 18 month old up to an 89 year old, 11 of us in total. We asked ahead of time if they had a crib/pack n' play and a kitchen booster seat for the baby and everything was there when we arrived! Our concierge Mary waited until we arrived at 7:00pm to show us around the house and give us needed details.She booked all of our excursions for us so we could just relax and not spend time researching. She made the vacation so much easier for us and we couldn't be more appreciative. We also LOVED our sweet house mom Victoria. She made us breakfast, guacamole, cleaned, etc. Whatever we wanted, she was happy to make. The kitchen was well stocked with plates, utensils, pots and pans; everything you need. The bathrooms have shampoo, conditioner, soap, hairdryers. Toilet paper was supplied, but only a roll per bathroom at a time. When the house mom was there she would restock as needed, but the items are in a locked closet so if you run out while she isn't there, you might need your own supplies. Just make sure she gets some out while there. Same with paper towels,trash bags, dish soap, laundry detergent. Water pressure can be low. No flushing TP, but again, the house mom will empty the garbage. The pool was lovely. We saw and heard the howler monkeys in the backyard. There were two iguanas that visited daily and one armadillo that wandered through. We had a remarkable vacation and have now have great memories of CR.

Lovely home in lovely Costa Rica

We came to this beautiful home for my son's 40th birthday. It looks just as advertised and was wonderfully comfortable for our family of 11. While it was a bit bumpy with water issues in the beginning, our host and concierge immediately took care of it for us and gave us a goodwill refund for the time it was out. There were monkeys in the backyard and on our walks! There were iguanas everywhere! The children were in awe. We loved taking the golf carts back and forth to the club, taking walks to the beach, and swimming in the pool. One of the highlights of our trip was having Chef Luis Dinarte and his team cook for us on three of our nights there. Not only was the food amazing, one of the team held my daughter's baby so she could eat. The housemom, Veronica, held her baby while she packed. The Costa Ricans we met were so kind and wonderful. Thank you, Diana and Concierge and to all we met who were so welcoming to us.

A nice house with some issues

Large house, comfortable social areas, two large masters with ensuites. Other bedrooms somewhat awkwardly configured but workable. Pool is excellent (better than the pictures). BBQ did not function properly- thought it was us but apparently it was a known problem and the private chef we hired for an evening had had problems with it before; hence, our not inexpensive catered "bbq meal" was prepared in the oven with negative impact on the quality and experience. Irritating. Stove is old, and the stovetop does not function properly - heat goes up and down on its own. Toaster on last legs. Hot water in the showers could be intermittent. Using toilet paper in toilets is discouraged (yes, there is a sign in each bathroom) allegedly due to "typical to CR" pipe issues beyond the house itself. Net net, this is a nice house which is an upscale rental but not a luxury rental. Hacienda Pinilla is very safe but more isolated than it appears on a map. Roads in the vicinity are in very poor shape. So you are unlikely to be heading beyond at night. People we dealt with were nice but orientation beyond the house per se could be more formal and informative. Within Pinilla, the Beach Club is nice for an afternoon, albeit pricey. CR itself is surprisingly expensive compared to the US, let alone other Latin American countries. JW Marriott provides Pinilla residents/renters a 15% discount at its restaurants, which are reasonable in the context, something we found out on our own.

A Family Celebration To Remember

Our family decided it would be great to go to a place we hadn't been before to celebrate my 65th birthday. We chose Costa Rica and we found the perfect house. The house was beautiful, clean, comfortable and had all the necessary features. We especially loved hanging out in the pool while it rained. We went in early June and it did not rain much, mostly in the middle of the night, which was perfect for sleeping. The beds were all comfortable, the kitchen was very open and easy to work with, the bathrooms were very clean and the yard was well-maintained (which the frequently-visiting monkeys also loved). The most important reason we loved this house so much was the incredibly warm service that came along with it. From the owner, Diana to the wonderfully helpful concierge staff - led by Brenda and Mari - to our "house mom", Veronica, who became part of our family during our stay. For many reasons, we thank God for these three, as they were really responsible for much of the success of our vacation. We highly recommend the Estuary Tour, getting a private catamaran (if your group is large enough - we had 8) and the private chef (a treat for the birthday dinner). All of this was arranged by Brenda. The ability to go to the amazing Beach Club was also such a treat. It is close, the staff is great, the pool is wonderful, the restaurant is delicious and the beach offers great relaxation and sunsets. All in all a wonderful experience. I highly recommend renting this home!
