About Gordon Crapley
Hi my name is Gordon and my wife's name is Audra. We are a Canadian family from Alberta that loves to camp in the summer and leave Canada in the winters for the warm weather!
Gordon Crapley purchased this villa in 2013
Why Gordon Crapley chose Puntarenas
We have travelled all over Costa Rica and fell in love with this beautiful gated community of Los Delfines Golf & Country Club. This is a very quiet community that has everything at its finger tips. You can relax at the Villa & pool, go golfing and check out the club house or spend the day relaxing on the beach. Or just a short drive away you can be at National Park or at a small nearby town with fantastic restaurants and tourist activities for all ages.
What makes this villa unique
Our Villa is the closest 2 bedroom/2 bathroom Villa to the ocean in Los Delfines that has its very own private pool & jacuzzi with a gazebo. The yard has been professionally landscaped and is constantly maintained by a gardener and pool person. Your across the road from the golf course and a 2 minute walk to Tambor beach to enjoy the ocean.

Beautiful, quiet, private, safe and totally unforgettable!!!!!!
I rented this villa for 27 days. This villa and my experiences here are totally unforgettable. The golf community is beautifully designed and landscaped, and is right on the beach. Security constantly patrols the community to keep you safe. The villa looks just like the photos and has all the modern technology you could wish for.....considering that it's in Costa Rica. The villa includes a huge, flat screen TV with Netflix, wifi, dvd player, wireless Bluetooth speakers, air conditioning in all rooms, washer/dryer, and beautiful kitchen appliances. The pool and jacuzzi is a wonderful addition to this villa along with two outdoor patio areas. The beach is a short, 5 min walk away, and there is a small grocery store and restaurant at the entrance of the community. It was amazing to wake up to the sounds of howler monkeys and macaws, and to see beautiful hummingbirds and butterflies constantly all around the property. This is the best vacation I've ever had!!!!!!
Gordon (the owner) contacted me immediately after I requested a reservation on VRBO. He seemed very nice, informative, and was quick to respond to me. Sebastian (the manager) was awesome, and his customer service was beyond the best I've ever experienced. The pool guy and the gardener were consistently on the property every morning to maintain the pool and yard. Everyone in the community was nice and friendly, and showed me what a "Pura Vida" life is like.
Fantastic Spot
My family loved our time at Delfines, visiting friends who live/teach at a local school. The Villa is completely stocked as other reviews have stated. The private pool area is beautiful. Outdoor sun protected areas as well to relax and read with a cold beverage. Beach is so private.... very fun body surfing.
Only thing I would suggest is adding some matches or automatic flame lighter Gordon. The grill is great but it probably could benefit from a "tune up" (Charbroil has online parts) wouldn't light the second night we used it but the McCartney's had matches. We love your Villa and will recommend it to anyone who is traveling to CR.
Fantastic Home!
We spent eight nights at this wonderful home. It has all of the creature comforts you need for up to four guests. The house is exactly as it looks on the internet photos. No trickery to make it look better. It's really this good. The pool is lovely and private. The neighborhood is quiet. It is a short walk to golf, the club house restaurant, a small mini market and the uncrowded beach. Of course along those walks it is pretty noisy. There are macaws heckling you, monkeys howling at you, cows mooing and waves crashing. I would love to live here and if this place comes up for sale my wife and I are IN! We will come back again for sure. This is THE nicest 2 bedroom in the entire complex without a doubt. Thanks for a great house to vacation in. Pura Vida!
Great place, great vacation!
We just came back 10 days ago from that beautiful place that we really miss. We were there for a month and can tell you, it’s not enough.
The house is great. You have a real jewel there and, as the others living there say too, we think also is the most beautiful and well maintained 2 bedrooms in the community. It has everything you need and more. The area is very quiet and intimate, the terrace with the pool all surrounded by palm trees, exotic plants and birds. The beach is close, 2 minutes walk. There are stores around and fresh fish cached in the morning that you can buy in the pier, close, from the fishermen that make the filet in front of you, at a very reasonable price. There is a lot to see around and we found at 10 min drive Tango Mar beach, which we felt in love with. Explore all the ways if you have a chance. You’ll be pleased. Wi-Fi working well, the individual air conditionings are cooling very fast and in this period you won’t even need it in the night, just perfect. The owners, are really nice, friendly and they will do everything they can to accommodate you in your needs and guide you to fully enjoy your incredible vacation.
Thank you for all and we will be happy to return at your villa! We recommend it to our friends and to anyone looking for a clean, beautiful and safe place.
Pura Vida!
Comfortable Villa With Private Pool!
If you want peace, quiet & solitude, this is the place for you.
This property is well appointed with all the basics you need for a relaxing stay. We were surprised to find a villa with our own private pool at this price. It has a great, spacious backyard where we spent most of our time. The property is well kept with lush tropical landscaping outside and attractive decor inside — updated furnishings similar to what we’re used to in the states.
The beach is a block away and was pretty much deserted every time we went. There are iguanas, macaws, howler monkeys, ibises, and egrets everywhere. It’s in a very quiet, secluded, secure community that’s a bit of a drive from other resorts/restaurants/shops.
The villa had everything we needed for a relaxing few days at the end of our trip. In particular, we were very happy to have the ability to wash & dry our clothes in our own private machine. The property owner was very responsive. The on-site property manager was less so, possibly because the local style of doing business is much more laid back than we’re used to.
Overall great experience and great value. Would recommend for anyone looking for a quiet and private getaway.
Would not rent again
From the moment we checked in at this villa there was nothing but problems. Firstly, the property manager didn't seem to know we were coming. For the next 5 days, every day, we had to contact the property manager, Edwin, to fix the internet service, which was a requirement for us to rent this unit so we could keep working. The AC in the dining area was dripping, which they fixed within a day. Then the AC in the master bedroom started dripping water. It never did get fixed. We decided on a home rental instead of hotel so we could cook our own meals. That was no easy task at this place. The cooking utensils were sparse or broken (can opener and potato peeler). Since there is no oven, only a stove top and microwave, the owner needs to provide better than cheap plastic (non-microwavable) bowls. The beds and bedding (pillows especially) need to be replaced. My husband's back was so bad after the first night, he had to sleep on the living room furniture,which is really patio furniture, for the remainder of our stay.
They state in their brochure that they will provide shampoo, toilet paper and soap. We had to ask for toilet paper and soap. They brought the toilet paper, but never any soap. Good thing I packed small bars of soap.
I need to also mention that my credit card was compromised shortly after checking in. Since I only used my credit card twice while in Costa Rica. Once at a shop in Tamarindo and the other at check-in. Both times I was required to provide my pin number. The only way someone would have gotten my security code to do online shopping was through a form I filled out with the property manager prior to our arrival. I advised the property manager that he should not be asking for this information and should only accept Paypal payments in the future. Do NOT give them your credit card information!!
On the plus side, the pool was great. Close to the ocean. Never a problem with hot water or water pressure.
