Photos and Description of the Playa Flamingo vacation house rental
5BR 4 BA(Sleeps 10+)Prvt Flamingo Beachfront Home - Poolside TikiBar/Kitchen

The Beach House on Playa Flamingo is a beachfront home centered on the most prestigious, pristine, white sand beach on Costa Rica’s North Pacific Coast. This 5 bedroom, 4.5 bath home, easily accommodates 10 people plus. Please Read Our Reviews!

Being on the center of this beach gives our unique location an unparalleled access to Flamingo Beach and view of the islands and year round sunsets. You also have the convenience of walking down the beach to Flamingo Village. Wake up to the gentle sound of surf, sit on the deck and pour yourself a fresh cup of Costa Rican coffee and watch the kids play on the beach or in the pool. Although many rentals in the area claim to be on or in Playa Flamingo, most are not. There is only ONE Flamingo Beach and we are on the center of it!

Our housekeeper is also an incredible cook and is included with the rental. Her own menu at the house includes everything from a variety of local Costa Rican

dishes and North American favorites to different ways of grilling the fish you caught that day on our BBQ. She’s also happy to teach you how to make fresh

homemade tortillas! All you pay for are the groceries and a tip at the end of your stay.

And… if that’s not enough, the “Toes in the sand” dining of Coco Loco is right there with menu and ambiance second only to us.

At The Beach House, your week will be smothered with good food.

Enjoy being beachfront on Flamingo Beach with a private swimming pool and tropical outdoor pool bar/kitchen, TV and barbeque. Take advantage of our Wireless internet and free international phone calls as you enjoy your favorite snacks, meals, drinks and major sporting events poolside. Or leave the world behind. With the beach only a few steps away, you can enjoy your cold drink on the warm sand. You're close enough to go back for a refill!

We have retained Costa Rica's 'Pura Vida' (pure life) ambiance upstairs with a variety of native hardwoods. Downstairs is a spacious living area with entertainment center, a suite and two ocean view bedrooms, a large guest bathroom and shower, Teak ceiling, an office area with a desk, computer, ipod dock and broadband wireless internet set up. A laundry room with two washers and dryers is set apart from the house with the outside pool bathroom.

The rest of the property includes a back yard area surrounded by a tropical forest great for viewing a variety of Costa Rican wildlife such as Howler Monkeys and many species of tropical birds, flora and fauna.

Our night watchman assures you of a good night sleep. Seeing as this is a

somewhat boring position in our neighborhood and Flamingo has its own security

force, he doubles as a turtle watchman and upon request, will wake you up if

they come to nest in front of the Beach House.

His specialty however is building bon fires. Any night that you prefer, just say

“Fugata” and grab your marshmallows, he’ll get a good one going. He is also our

evening coconut picker, maintenance man and cleans the pool/grounds before he leaves in the morning.

Flamingo also boasts the area’s largest sport fishing, sailing, diving and water sports fleet with near-by surfing for all your ocean enjoyment. At the Beach House, we can help you arrange everything from transportation, all tours and activities to personal massages at the house. A 16 passenger air-conditioned van with the area’s top guide will be ready to handle all of your needs from the time you step off of the plane.

We only rent to one group at a time. You will always have the entire property to yourself. Flamingo Beach Village is within walking distance where you will find restaurants, groceries, salon, disco, casino, pharmacy and Ocean activities.

We are owner managed, available locally and dedicated to making your Costa Rica vacation relaxing, comfortable and memorable.

Pura Vida!

About The Owner

Sometimes when you pick up your anchor and go searching, you score. That's what happened to me. I sailed solo into Flamingo in 1989, started a charter business and ended up with a beautiful family and an incredible beach house. The last 20+ years have been unbelievably good. When life's this good , you want to share a little of it. Sharing our house and our experience in the area is a good start.

Pura Vida and Enjoy,

Mark

Great house and location for a large group

  • 4 of 5
  • Submitted: Apr 30, 2013
  • Stayed: Apr 2013
This beach house is in a great location with good emminities. Elena and Carla prepared GREAT local meals, cleaned the house and even did our laundry! Elias keep the grounds and pool clean and helped us quickly when we broke the house key.

The views from most of the bedrooms are fantastic. The LARGE front porch was the favorite hangout for the view, the hammock, to eat and to get out of the sun. A 15 minute walk into "town" gets you to a drug store, souvenir shop and a small convenience store. We ate most meals at the house but there is a nice little restaurant right next to the house and a few more in town (if you make a reservation they will come pick you up).

Most of the hired help speak very little English. We found the google translator to be very essential!

The house is generally in good shape but does need a few repairs: Faucet in the kitchen, drain stopper in the master bath, speakers on the deck, etc. nothing major. Also, the upstairs is connected to the downstairs only via outside steps. That was not a major problem but something I was expecting.

It is a great house for a large group. We had 6 adults and 3 children.

Owner's Response: Thank you for your honest review. We're glad our staff kept you fed well and things clean and that you enjoyed to location so much! We do however need to make it clearer to our guests that Elias is more than just a groundskeeper, he is the maintenance man. He is there every morning and has on the premises anything needed to fix the small stuff immediately, if it brought to his attention while you're there. The minor things were taken care of in 10 minutes.
Our guests are so very kind to our staff and we all appreciate it very much but they are there to take care of you. Please take advantage of their talents, bring any need to their attention and they will handle it, it's their job and they are happy to take care of anything you need. Don't sweat the small stuff on vacation, let Elias sweat it. He's great at it. Being the number one rental in the area means we're always booked, when things need attention it helps us and the following guests if you bring these to our attention immediately.
We want to make sure you enjoy more than just the best location.

Perfect Wedding!!!

  • 5 of 5
  • Submitted: Apr 28, 2013
  • Stayed: Feb 2013
Our objective was to have a beautiful yet peaceful and relaxing destination wedding. After the hours of research on internet and numerous phone calls to those abroad, we finally took a "chance" at the Flamingo Beach Casa Playa Blanca. It could not have went any better, 10 out of 10!!! We had a wedding party of 25 with ages ranging from 18 to 75 and everyone had an absolute blast. Flamingo Beach in comparison to near by areas (Tamarindo), is perfect for those not wanting a "touristy" vacation spot. We had everything we needed in Flamingo Beach yet felt like the beach was ours! The house and pool area were very clean and accommodating to all age ranges. The younger crowd had a great time enjoying the outdoor bar area while the older crowd had plenty of room to comfortably lounge. Estefania (Cook at Casa Playa Blanca) was essentially our wedding planner and helped us with all the details for our big day. She helped select the rehearsal dinner location at Las Brisas (10 out of 10!), bonfire for the wedding reception and countless other little things that we really never thought of. I can't type enough nice things about Estefania on how she was instrumental on making our wedding so memorable. A real joy to be around. She cooked amazing food for us and was always there to help us with whatever we needed (with a smile on her face). Jean Luc from MarySol catered our reception on the beach (just steps away from the house) and did a beautiful job arranging the food and wedding setup - with excellent presentation. Our guests were still raving about his food weeks after the reception! The wedding arch, flower arrangements, seating and tables were 1st class....all arranged by Jean Luc. Jonas (Adventure Tours) was of great help as well. He arranged zip lining, fishing trips and numerous other transportation aids that were used throughout the trip. He understood that it was difficult to juggle 25 people of various interests and he seemed to always make it fun for everyone and was flexible with last minute changes.
In conclusion, this was a very memorable wedding and it was only possible by all the people mentioned - so helpful, accommodating, and just great people to get to know. I honestly couldn't have pictured for our special day to turn out any better! Thank you Mark for sharing such a beautiful property!

What a great week in Flamingo Beach. We had our wedding on the beach in front of the house. Couldn't have been better! There is not enough wonderful things I can say about the crew at the beach house. Jonas has also been so wonderful and patient with us! What really makes the trip in Flamingo is the people and the beautiful location. We're so glad we picked this spot for our special day!

A great trip we'll never forget

  • Submitted: Apr 13, 2013

Our week here has been amazing! Between swimming in the pool, body surfing on the beach, enjoying the town and the amazing cooking, we had a blast. Our tours with Jonas were great - he's super friendly, helpful and knowledgeable about the area. We also took advantage of "Coco Loco" just down from the house. They made great drinks and snacks. Elias was also great. It was nice to have him around during the night. During our last night, he made us a bonfire so we could roast marshmallows. The weather was the best part, so warm with slight winds.
Thanks so much for everything - a great trip we'll never forget.

Perfect Week

  • Submitted: Apr 13, 2013
  • Stayed: Jan 2013
This place has provided for an absolutely perfect week! It was a perfect balance of relaxing - taking turns between the pool and ocean and day trips with Jonas - can't imagine a better tour guide! We went to Rincon de la Vieja and Arenal. Both highly recommended. Arenal was a long trip with a good amount of physical exertion but totally worth it. Have your meals at the house as much as possible, the cooking is dee-lish!
Thank you to all!
