I highly recommend Casa Mimosa as a beautiful and central base for exploring this area of Costa Rica. We had the Buena Vista unit, but all units share the lovely pool, wildlife viewing platforms and the lovely Maritza and her family who take care of the house and guests. Having Maritza available to grocery shop and prepare snacks and meals for us was such an added treat. The homemade rice and beans, guacamole and cut-up fruit waiting for us at the end of a beach day was so appreciated. She also cooked us one of the most delicious fish dinners we have ever eaten. The house is spotless and the grounds are immaculate. Be sure to book an amazing therapeutic massage with Sharon (Maritza’s daughter). We also loved being up high enough to look out over the densely treed estuary and watch vultures, spoonbills, egrets and ibises flying over the trees all day. We did not see the resident howler monkeys, but they are often there. It is a few minutes walk to Playa Flamingo, which is a lovely beach – great for kids as the surf and undertow aren’t too strong (that being said, we also had some amazing body surfing days there). If you have a car, there are countless beaches to explore nearby. The staff at Tropical Homes of Costa Rica were wonderful and helpful. Be sure to read about their Pack with Purpose program that encourages guests to include some space in their luggage to donate goods to local community projects to help the warm Costa Ricans who are so hospitable and generous to the many tourists who visit their lovely little country.

Staying at Todo Bien Guest House was such a perfect little getaway for my solo travel experience. Karen and Wendy are the absolute perfect hosts. I was greeted with a plentiful gift basket of fresh fruits, snacks and coffee for in the morning, which I was so grateful for. The views are absolutely breathtaking and it was so incredible to experience both sunsets and sunrises with what I would say is the best view in all of Flamingo! The guest house is very clean and has all the amenities one could dream of! A fully stocked kitchen with all brand new appliances and cooking supplies made it a delight to make meals and eat in. The private plunge pool was so refreshing and a fun feature to be able to enjoy and watch TV and movies from. I absolutely adored the soaking tub in the bedroom and the shower was one of the best showers I’ve had in a long time!  The best thing about this property is the privacy but knowing that you are safe amongst the gated community. Why stay in a hotel when you can stay in your own home away from home which feels like you are totally at the spa!?!

Villa Oasis is so beautiful inside and out! It felt like a home away from home. I couldn’t think of a better place to stay for a romantic getaway. One of my favorite features of this home was the amazing master suite and especially the master bath!

The view from the backyard is absolutely breathtaking! Every chance we got, we spent in the backyard with poolside drinks. The porch on the second floor is also the perfect place to watch the sunrise every morning.

The view of the mountains is beautiful when driving up the road to the house which is a total breeze with the right car. There are also little pull-offs on the way up the road which are perfect for pictures with amazing views.

The Sunset Heights 402 in Flamingo is a beautiful and cozy Condo, very well located in the entrance on Flamingo beach road, my family and myself have stayed there for two years, the condo have a wonderful view of the Marina nearby, the pools and the facilities are always clean, not to mentioned they are awesome for relax and stay cool in the summer days, the staff at the TH office are always nice, the same to the lady who received us at the condo. If you go there, don’t miss Flamingo Beach, Playa Penca and Playa Danta there you have the top 3 beach of the nearby area.

AMAZING!!!!!!

From taking that first step through the front entryway you are immediately graced with the most spectacular view of the infinity pool with breathtaking views out into the Pacific Ocean. This was my first visit to Costa Rica and I cannot wait to return to this absolutely beautiful home. Everyday was a delight from the morning views while enjoying a delicious cup of Costa Rican coffee to the stunning sunsets.

We explored beaches, restaurants (if it were possible to rate the onsite restaurant in this private, gated community higher than 5* I absolutely would!!);nearby towns (great shopping by the way!) and waterfalls…. one more beautiful than the other.

Privacy

Perfect sunsets EVERY NIGHT followed by star filled sky

Living space is PERFECT – Open concept kitchen, dining and living room

Safe/Secure gated community

I have stayed at many resorts and rental properties while vacationing but this home is by far the MOST INCREDIBLE place I have every stayed in.
