BREATH TAKING VIEWS IN EVERY DIRECTION ~ FLAMINGO N.RIDGE-

We stayed at this amazing home for 1 week in March, 2012. The inside is absolutely beautiful, very spacious and very clean. We went with 2 other couples and it was nice to have the big open space so we felt like we were together but didn’t feel crowded. There are several areas to sit and enjoy the amazing views, from the living room, the kitchen, from the balcony or by the poolside.

There are several great restaurants close by, actually within walking distance. We chose to eat out most dinners except for a couple of nights when we decided to order in! A few short cab rides brought us to some other great restaurants in the area. We felt like we were centrally located so could go to other areas and attractions relatively easily and quickly.

We did a lot of walking around during our stay. Our only challenge was the walk up the roadway to the house as it goes uphill and then the driveway is a little steep. It wasn’t too bad in the cooler temps in the morning and in the evening, but in the full midday sun, it was a big of a struggle. It was well worth it though – just to get “home”, have a cool drink and enjoy the breathtaking views!

Barbara and Roy were very helpful right from the time we started inquiring about this home as it was our first experience renting a house and going to Costa Rica (as opposed to going to an all-inclusive resort). We have many fond memories of our stay at this house!

I write this review while sitting on the verandah with a delicious cup of Costa Rican coffee. There is a warm tropical breeze blowing the coconut trees and if I turn my head to the left I have a breathtaking view of the Marina and Potrero Bay. If I turn my head to the right I have a beautiful view of Flamingo Beach and the Pacific Ocean….Casa Redonda cannot be truly described in words but if I had to pick just one it would be panoramic.

My husband and I are here for three wonderful weeks to celebrate our 20th anniversary and my birthday. From the very start as I planned this trip I couldn’t have asked for a kinder person to work with. Barbara Paine is wonderful and helped me plan the perfect trip. She and her husband Roy even helped me get a guitar for the villa to surprise my husband.

We spent months dreaming about our visit and upon arrival realized that it was even better than we could have imagined. The house is absolutely beautiful and in such a unique location convenient to everything….beaches, fishing, scuba, shopping, restaurants etc. The pool and gardens are like something out of a magazine. The Gardner, Julio is a master. Every day we find something new and beautiful.

There is so much to see and do yet we find some of our favorite times have been right here at Casa Redonda. Cozy, comfortable with all the amenities you need to feel right at home. Quiet dinners on the verandah and sunset toasts have been magical. We have declared that “stopping life” and celebrating the sunset should be a law! Each sunset is unique and so amazingly beautiful it takes your breath away!

We can’t say enough about how special this home is and how special the owners are too! We were so fortunate to have our stay overlap during a week that they were also in town. Barbara and Roy are truly wonderful people and as much as we will treasure the time we’ve spent here we will also treasure our new friendship!

Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us. We are enjoying every minute of it and have only one complaint…We don’t want it to end!!!!! I wish we could bottle the magic of this place and take it home with us but one thing for sure it will always be in our hearts AND we will be looking forward to coming back again and again!!!!

Great house with incredible views, great pool and beautiful gardens. Little difficult getting suitcases up the circular staircase but well worth the hassle. We really enjoyed our two week stay at the round house. Julio the gardener kept everything in top shape. He and Anna were very helpful. Nothing like coffee on the deck in the morning and cocktails in the evening enjoying the beautiful views. This house is a great value for the price.
Playa Flamingo is a beautiful beach and a great spot to spend the day. It is a short distance from the house.
We visited Lake Arenal, the volcano and hot springs. We went zip lining, scuba diving and visited other beaches.Our favorite beaches were Flamingo and Conchal.
