Photos and Description of the Playa Flamingo vacation condo rental 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, sleeps 6 walk to the beach!

This is a two bedroom brand new (just built) condo adjacent to a very private beautiful beach in Potrero Beach, Costa Rica. Our beach is the safest, no ripe tides and water like glass. We have filled this house with the finest furniture and accessories to make this a stay in Costa Rica to remember. We found this spot years ago while surfing with our kids and now have fulfilled a lifelong dream of being on the beach and seeing no one for miles as we snorkel, surf and just be lazy. This is a great spot for kids young and old since its walking distance to everything. Get a fish taco and watch the sunset or go into the jungle and watch howler monkeys swing from tree to tree. We also made this easy for working on vacation with wireless internet access, free international phone calling and cable. There are two televisions, DVD players etc.. Two couches, one pulls out into a sleeper bed. Several beaches are strung along the Potrero Bay. Swimming and water sports are popular, restaurants.

AWESOME PLACE!! Thank you!!

Review Submitted: August 4, 2009 Date of Stay: July 2009
I highly recommend this place. My first time in Costa Rica. I phoned the owners directly who gave me so much information and were a tremendous help. When I arrived at the airport, they had someone to pick me u at the airport in Liberia, and drive me to the gated property. When I walked in, it was very new, clean, beautiful paint, great size and even two balconies. It's very quiet. There is a modern kitchen with granite, cooking appliances, amenities etc.. It was very clean, and also there were maids that came every other day. When I asked them to come daily it was not an issue either. The condo is large, very open, two bathrooms, also with granite and lots of windows. The lot next door is empty with grasses and trees. One day I saw monkeys traveling around the trees, very interesting to wake up to. There is a guard on premises at all times, who was also quite helpful with any questions I had. I ate at a place a block away, called the Castle Restaurant. It is outdoorsy with really great local food. There is a store on the same block to buy necessities and food/drink.
I walked to the beach daily, took me 3 minutes, totally easy. I drove to several other beaches, they are all around and all close. In addition, FLAMINGO BEACH and tourist area is only 9 minutes driving time and I went there often as well. I stayed for 2 weeks and am definetely returning next year. What a bargain, I couldn't believe it!!

Everything we were looking for

Review Submitted: August 5, 2009 Date of Stay: June 2009
we truly enjoyed your condo and all the new things. We have been down to costa and so many of the condo's have old appliances and furniture but your art, appliances and furniture was all brand new. We loved the beach since it was mellow unlike the busy beaches of tamarindo and flamingo. We probably saw 5 people a day on the beach. We love the little market across the street and the walking access to the restaurants Las brisas for seafood, Castle for bakery good and best pizza and bar. We saw 3 howler monkeys while there in the yard. Your security guard Manuel was so kind to us and carried all our luggage even though there was an elevator up to our condo and would not take a tip. We are going to book early for next year and want to try the summer since we hear there is some rain during the day and great sunsets at night. Pura Vida as you artwork says. Where did you get those little paintings we have to find those for the kids.

Beautiful beach property w pool & location AAAA

Review Submitted: July 31, 2009 Date of Stay: June 2009
my wife and i stayed for one month in this property. it was much nicer than we thought and the enclosed property grounds are well taken care of with a great tropical pool area and grass, flowers and fountains.

the owners provided great service, the property manager was always available with questions, and provided us with transportation to and from the airport, and arranged a rental car to be delivered to the property for us.

we walked less than a block to the local grocery to get whatever we needed to cook or drink.

After our stay, we checked out and received our security deposit back within 1 week, and a 10% off return discount for future visits.

We did zip lines, fishing, went to several different restaurants, all great, and met so many cordial local people as well as other visitors to the area. It's beautiful, the beach is very amazingly beautiful and private, the water is warm and there are so many forms of animal, plant and even butterflies everywhere. We look forward to our next visit and highly recommend this property. Quite frankly, it's priced ridiculously low for what you get !!!

Owner's Response: Thank you for the great review, and for taking the time to call us about the property. We had one bad review out of 30 great renters and it was based on extortion for money. The property IS spectacular, we have many repeat clients and we personally enjoy the property and area. It IS walking distance to some local restaurants, two just a block away, with fresh fish tacos and even oven baked pizza and a bakery. The area is VERY clean. Again, we appreciate the honest review and glad you enjoyed the property as much as everyone else!!

Stay Away from this one

Where is our security deposit? Boulder, Colorado, USA
Review Submitted: February 8, 2009 Date of Stay: December 2008
We rented this unit over the 2008 Winter Holiday break and based our decision on the HomeAway website description of this property. The website information was misleading, to say the least.

We are timeshare owners and so often travel to these types of units, and this was the worst condo we have ever rented. It had a very bad smell that would not go away with open windows and doors. The smell seemed to be coming from the bed and bedding in the master bedroom. We tried stripping off the bedding and found the underlay to be covered with blood stains. Even when the property manager changed out the bedding, the smell was still so bad that we ended up sleeping on the couch. We tried sleeping on the pull-out bed, but that was just disgustingly dirty, too. Even the sheets in the childrens' room were dirty. The phone didn't work, and there was a broken chair in the living room, an old suitcase stuffed behind the couch, and wet towels in the closet when we arrived. The unit is very noisy - you can here every step of the people walking above you. We came back from this vacation more exhausted than when we left. Other things that were promised on the web site but were not in the unit or on the property: filtered water, spices, soaps, shampoo, security system, jungle views (the views are of vacant building lots with all kinds of garbage strewn on them), books, games, video library, DVD library, computer, bike, kayak, jacuzzi, beach chairs, coolers, fish-cleaning table, etc. You get the picture. Even the pots that we cooked on were the teflon kind with the teflon peeling off. This is just a basic condo in a basic condo complex with nothing more than basic furnature, lots of noise from neighbors, and a bad smell.

Contrary to what the website says, Potrero beach is not the most beautiful beach in the area. While it is safe and calm, people go down the road to Flamingo beach, which you need a car to get to, for its whiter sand and cleaner water. The website promises fresh fish tacos and restaurants nearby. There is nothing nearby but a dusty little local store with vegetables and dry goods.

The owners have also not returned our security deposit to us despite repeated requests. Nor have the explained why they are not returning it. They won't respond to our telephone calls, emails or letters. Basically, I don't think we are ever going to see our money again.

All in all we would highly caution anyone from renting this unit.
Owner's Response: This a blatant lie and an attempt to get more money. They contacted us and asked that we double the deposit back or they would write a bad review. I unfortunetly complied and sent it and they still wrote these things. We have all the paypal receipts and contracts to prove it. We have been renting this great place out for three years now and not one complaint. The only issue that we agreed on was the smell which turned out to be in all condos from the pipes and was address immediately. If you are considering rental and this review effects you please let us provide a list of people you can contact for testimonials.
