Deborah was a delight to work with - rapid response, clear and concise, and genuinely interested in making our stay the best possible experience. We were very happy with the condo - it exceeded all of our expectations. Deborah's attention to detail and wonderful decorating skills were very much appreciated - my husband was very happy to have access to a turntable and a variety of vinyl records. We would recommend this condo (or any property owned by Deborah and Ron) to anyone who's interested.

The home was just as described and has everything needed for a comfortable stay. It’s located with walking distance of local eateries, markets, and a pharmacy. It’s also a short Uber drive from the Central Market in San Jose. The sunsets from the balcony were amazing and the hosts were so responsive. This home is a definite stay!

Small but cozy condo in a safe and well appointed residential tower. Quick communication with the owner/manager and greatly appreciated. Great for a couple and another adult - tight for more than 3. The security guards couldn’t speak English and we had trouble getting into the property each day and night despite them having our passport copies and a note from the owner - it was very inconvenient as it took about 10-15 minutes each time. Airport close by as we could hear planes in the daytime. Neighborhood mostly quiet at nights. Overall, recommend the place for location and owners.

Outstanding condominium and hosts! Gorgeous views and such a relaxing stay (we stayed for a full two weeks). The location is perfect to get everywhere as we traveled all over the country. Close to the airport and great shopping and food nearby.I do a lot of cooking and was able to cook every day in this lovely kitchen. The in-unit washer/dryer was much appreciated.Large showers and lovely beds and bedding made for a perfect nights sleep. The hosts have a great turntable with a wide variety of records to choose from as well. Parking is covered and there is gated security. My favorite part of the condominium was sitting on the balcony looking at the beautiful San Jose sunsets!We are already booking our next stay!!Thank you Deborah and Ron for an awesome stay!!

Response from VrboOwner on 19 Nov, 2025
Fellow Hosts I Do Not recommend hosting these guests. THE FACTS WITH PROOF: Videos, Pictures, and Written Statements available. 1. “NO HOT WATER”: According to our building manager, condominium neighbors, housekeeper, and the STR guests who checked-out hours before these guests checked-in, there was hot water. The earlier guests wrote “We didn’t have any issues with the hot water, it worked perfectly”. I have a video taken 2 hours after these guests left the property of hot water running in the condo. 2. “OWNER DID NOT SEEM TO CARE”: We are very involved and conscientious hosts. Please note our reviews over the past 4 years. We responded to the guests 25 TIMES in Vrbo messages over 5 days during and after business hours, late night, early morning, and on the weekend. I personally left 3 phone messages to the guest, that were never returned. We investigated their claim of no hot water with our neighbors, building management, and the most recent guests. NOTE: Due to the behavior of the guests, I did not feel comfortable having housekeeping enter my property to directly dispute the guests’ claims. OVERALL EXPERIENCE: These guests were THREATNENING, RUDE, DIRTY, AND BROKE THE HOUSE RULES.

Amazing stay in San Jose

We greatly enjoyed our short stay at Deborah & Ron’s beautiful condo. It was very stylish & warm in all rooms & was equipped with all the amenities we needed. The only issue we came across was a drainage issue in the master shower, but the hosts were fast to respond and a maintenance worker fixed the issue swiftly. Thank you Deborah & Ron!

Exceeded all Expectations

Just a fantastic experience. Deborah and Ron are extremely accommodating hosts & pay attention to every minor detail. Constant communication and making sure things smooth. Very reassuring. The penthouse itself is beyond spacious, with beautiful views of the city and brand new appliances. Everything worked great, hot water in showers, full kitchen, great decor and ambiance. We enjoyed the amenities as well! Started everyday with a workout at the gym and a dip in the infinity pool. Security is top notch also, very safe and quiet area of town. It was a perfect home base for our adventures to limón and Fortuna and exploring downtown San Jose. I was more than delighted with our stay celebrating a friends birthday. Will 110% book again when returning and highly recommend!

Ian, your group was great. I enjoyed hosting you and hope you return again soon. I agree with you that the condo is a great "home base" for Costa Rican excursions. The drive to the beaches, volcano, mountains, and nature preserves is spectacular and not to be missed. But, the luxury of the condo, in a quiet neighborhood, offer a perfect vacation break.
