Perfect Getaway

Everything we had hoped for and more. Our recent stay at this beautiful beach house was absolutely unforgettable! Stunning ocean and sunset views that greeted us from every room. The house itself is spacious, modern, and very well appointed. The large open-plan living area made it easy to spend time together, whether we were cooking in the fully equipped kitchen, lounging on the comfy sofas, or dining with a view of the ocean. The outdoor patio was perfect for watching the sunset each evening while listening to the waves crash. The host was friendly and communicative, ensuring that we had everything we needed throughout our stay. Highly recommended and hope to visit again soon.

Great stay!

We truly enjoyed our stay at Casa Pelicano! The view can't be beaten, the house is very pretty, the pool is incredible, and you are a short walk or golf cart ride away from everything you need. Although we enjoyed the house and pool quite a bit, the real stars of the stay were Reynaldo and Chef Dania. Reynaldo is an incredibly kind man who kept everything so clean and organized. We looked forward to seeing his smile every day! He is such a treasure! We also hired Chef Dania for several meals. Not only is she an extraordinary chef (we loved everything she cooked for us), she went out of her way to make our holiday a special one. When we needed a fan, she offered to shop for us and then brought the fan to us. When my father's glasses broke, she gave us a screwdriver to fix the glasses and then later showed up with a pair of reading glasses donated by her husband. She even baked a pie (or two) for my father! We would have been a bit stuck without her help (our transportation was limited by only having a golf cart), and our holiday would have gone much differently without her generosity. We've traveled quite a bit and have met some really wonderful people, but Dania tops them all! Do not hesitate to hire her! She is one of a kind. And as far as staying at Casa Pelicano, it is a very peaceful and beautiful place to be! Just an FYI that the only road open to the house is the beach road. It has MAJOR potholes--get an SUV to best manage the drive. Pura vida!

Fabulous House

The house and the views are amazing. We loved the location. The house manager is also wonderful and keeps the property in mint condition. Beware - there were major storms in the area prior to arrival so two of the roads leading to property were unusable but were able to access the property through the road on Flamingo beach. I do recommend an SUV to access the property until the roads are repaired. We were there to celebrate my parents 50th wedding anniversary and everyone had so much fun. My son loved the beach and we brought in the private chef Max recommended and he was amazing. You will not regret staying at this house. The views are spectacular!

Casa Pelicans is a one of a kind special place. From our first inquiry to the end of our stay, both Max and the on site Renaldo can’t do enough to make your stay perfect. The home itself and its incredible location can’t be beat. We loved every minute, from the 3 year old to the 75 year olds. And Playa Flamingo, easily accessed from the house, is a fabulous beach with great restaurants and activities nearby. Thank you, Max and Reynaldo, for the best vacation ever!

Great for first timers to Costa Rica

This home was immaculate, plenty of relaxing spaces, and the location was phenomenal. No doubt that this made our first trip to CR completely restful and enjoyable. Despite having 8 adults in the house, the home and property were large enough for everyone to have their own space to relax and enjoy the view. The location is better than we expected in that you have easy access to the beach (less than 2 mins walk from front door to sand), yet away from the crowd and other businesses. We felt isolated (in a good way) and felt like we had the area to ourselves. The sunsets by the pool were awe inspiring and was enjoyable every single evening. This was our first time to CR and the owner Max was very helpful in providing recommendations on everything from Restaurants, excursions, in-home massage and more. It was an added benefit staying less than 45 mins drive to some amazing places within the region that gives you a taste of what CR has to offer. You can spend the entire week here and feel like you got the entire CR experience. I understand new pictures of the property will be posted soon (if not already by the time you read this), but they will still not do it justice. All these other 5-star reviews got it right and you'll have to stay here to truly believe it.

We had an incredible experience at Casa Pelicano. The house was beyond our expectations with its beauty, space, patio, and sunsets. The beach was super easy access and never very crowded. We had amazing meals and would highly recommend Flamingo Foods, Chef Dania, and Road Less Traveled for in home meals. Reynaldo was so helpful and wonderful to have around. Max made our trip run so smoothly with arranged rides from the airport, golf cart rental, excursion planning, grocery shopping, and always checked in with us to see if we needed anything. This was one of the best family vacations we've had and we hope to be back soon!

Amazing home

We had a group of 9 across 2 families with 4 adults and 5 kids ages 16-21. Pictures on VRBO do not even capture 10% of how amazing the property is. We were speechless when we walked in the first time- the beauty of the outdoor space with 300 degree views of the Pacific were fantastic. The way the house is settled on the property was so well done- doing dishes overlooking the pool and then the ocean was beautiful. The accommodations were perfect for our group-4 boys stayed in the bunk room that had a terrific set up with 4 comfortable double beds that didn’t feel like bunk beds at all. Our one girl had her own room/bathroom and each adult couple had their own room. The beds were perfectly comfortable, the bathrooms were luxurious, The icing on the top of our stay was Reynaldo- the caretaker of the home. He is the kindest man who keeps the house spotless (indoor and out), changing sheets mid stay- providing clean towels, and doing our laundry. A couple times during our stay he made us a treat (delicious guacamole or fresh orange juice) but generally it was so nice to have a warm smile greet us at the end of each day. He was completely unobtrusive and cleaned the home around our schedule. It was so nice to come home to clean rooms, and folded laundry waiting for us. We went to several surrounding beaches (in the golf carts Max had arranged for us). Playa Flamingo was our favorite by far and we were so glad that is where we stayed.

Perfect Family Villa

Our family of eight stayed at Casa Pelicano for a family wedding that was held in the area. The home, grounds and location exceeded our expectations. Also superb was the thoughtful communication by Max (before and during our stay) as well as the caretaking by Renaldo- he kept every area of the villa and grounds spotless without being the slightest bit intrusive. The view is truly spectacular and we spent many hours enjoying the pool and view. The kitchen is fully equipped, and there is a little market a short golf cart drive away that provided everything we needed to enjoy meals on the veranda. We also had a few meals out and highly recommend The Surf Box and Coco Loco. The beach is lovely and can be reached during low tide via some 'rustic' cement steps across the street from the villa. One unexpected benefit we found of being located high above the beach was the blissful lack of mosquitoes (which were plentiful at the homes of friends of ours who were directly on the beach). It was a memorable stay and would love to return!

Such an unforgettable property!

We traveled to Playa Flamingo with our extended family which included 5 children ages 15-8yo. Casa Pelicano was a perfect rental accommodation for our party of 10. You will feel blown away by this house! It was gorgeous, impeccable, spacious. But you will never get over the view! Then on top of it all it comes with the service of Maximiliano as the property manager, and Reynoldo as the (garage apt live-in) house manager. Max helped us to rent golf carts which are needed to reach most restaurants, beaches, stores. He also provided vendor recommendations for our excursions. And we tried many of the restaurant recs from him as well. Reynoldo is a hard working and calming presence as he maintains the property, most of the time without you realizing he’s been there. During his day off, we felt lost without him! If you have never been to CR, then you should know how joyful the Costa Ricans are. What we liked about this area, Playa Flamingo, is that you are not on a resort, where you never see much of the country. Playa Flamingo is like a lazy surf town, that seems like a secret destination that most tourists aren’t aware of. And from there we were able to reach other areas- Playa Brasilito (Don’t miss Patagonia Del Mar), Potrero, etc. We truly hope to return to CR, and specifically Casa Pelicano again soon. We are just getting to know the area, and there’s so much more to explore.

Fantastic house and amazing views!

We could not have been happier with our stay at Casa Flamingo in Guanacaste! We stayed here with another family and the home easily accommodated all 11 of us. The onsite butler kept the home very clean, sweeping up sand and mopping floors inside and out. It sits up overlooking the ocean on almost every side of the house giving magnificent views. It is a very short walk down to the beach where you can pick your spot easily and there are vendors willing to help set up a tent and chairs, jet skis, massage tables and drinks. While we ventured off property we felt great about leaving our things behind with a huge gate and walls surrounding the house. We rented to 2 golf carts which were waiting on us upon arrival thanks to our property manager, Max. Max is very responsive and helped us set up our own chefs for any amount of meals you’d choose. Any questions we had, Max was quick to answer for us. We loved the house and our trip to Costa Rica and we would definitely be back to stay at Casa Flamingo!

Casa Pelicano was everything we hoped it would be and so much more. The house beautiful and is so well taken care of. It fit two families of five more than comfortably, with room to spare. The views and the setting are spectacular, it’s just a very special house. Max, the property manager was so easy and responsive to work with from start to finish. He helped set up all of the extra things that would be hurdles in most other places. Groceries, golf carts, a handicapped chair at the last minute, restaurant suggestions, etc.…there was simply no stress. Reynaldo, the on site property caretaker, was a very nice added touch. He managed deliveries, kept things extremely clean, did our laundry, cut our fruit, etc. He kept a watchful eye on things…all which was never asked or expected of him. He did it all while we were gone and stayed out of the way when we were enjoying ourselves at the property. Thank you for making our trip to Costa Rica so enjoyable, we will be back!

Not enough superlatives

A very special place. Photos and descriptions don’t do Casa Pelicano justice. When our group of 7, including 2 toddlers, entered the premises, it is safe to say we were all a little awestruck. Floor to ceiling windows and doors in the open plan living/dining room and kitchen with high ceilings make it a light, airy and yet comfortable space. It might have been a bit tight if we all wanted to watch TV at the same time due to the limited seating in the living room. But that never proved to be an issue because we spent most of our time on the expansive terrace which can be accessed from any room, all of which are west facing. The 4 ensuite bedrooms are down a wide corridor in their own wing and are very quiet. Each is a good size and all are slightly different but nicely appointed. Favourites were the “master” at the end with the dual aspect view and the “double-double bunk bed” room with actual stairs between them which even the 2 yr old could use without difficulty. The terrace itself is a highlight. It has multiple levels and wraps around 2 sides of the house which sits on a promontory, so offers what is a nearly unencumbered 270 degree spectacular views of the surrounding ocean, beaches and distant countryside. It provides a perch to watch the bird life during the day, truly wonderful sunsets and starry skies at night. There is a wide overhang along the length of the house which provides welcome shade for most of the day. The different seating areas on the various levels along with the excellent wifi coverage allowed people to spread out and do their own thing when it suited them. The soothing sound of waves breaking on shore promoted a relaxed, calming atmosphere and lulled us to sleep at night while a waterfall from the whirlpool to the pool level adds to the ambience. The infinity pool is big and deep enough that adults and kids alike enjoyed themselves. The way the house is nestled on the beautifully landscaped property also offers a fair degree of privacy. A portion of the upper terrace can be seen by those using small parking spot just outside the wall at one end, who tended to be the occasional surfer or people watching the sunset. They were never loud or close enough for it to be at all bothersome. It was like our own little piece of paradise. The kitchen is large and well appointed and we fixed a few meals of our own which we enjoyed outdoors, on the live edge dining table. However, there are some very decent restaurants within a short walk should you opt to eat out. Coco Loco on the beach was a family favourite and the closest to the house. One thing to keep in mind if anyone in your party has mobility issues is that the stairs near the house to access the beach are steep and uneven while going the long way around still requires navigating steep hills and rough sections of road. Golf carts can be hired locally but should be reserved well in advance during the busy season. Max, the host, was very responsive and helpful from start to finish. Arrangements he made for rides to and from the airport were very much appreciated. We also found the caretaker, Reynaldo, to be a real gem. He lives in separate accommodation on site, so was there to greet us and get us settled in upon our arrival. He was also available most days if we needed his assistance for anything. He was primarily responsible doing the housekeeping, tidying up the yard, cleaning the pool and, on occasion, stepped in to wash and fold our laundry since we weren’t allowed to operate the washer and dryer. Despite being around a lot, he was never obtrusive and it was nice not having to deal with such mundane matters ourselves while on vacation. The only minor quibble we had with our stay was that there was only one door key and gate fob between all of us. This made it a challenge to coordinate arrivals and departures when we were doing things separately. All in all, just a really lovely place to spend some quality time on vacation.

Magnificent would rate as a 10+++

Our stay at Casa Pelicanos was absolutely magnificent from start to finish. The property owner Max is amazing. He was extremely helpful giving us many suggestions on restaurants and places to go and see. He helped arrange on site massages for the group. He also arranged for us to have an on-site cook during our stay. He checked in with us a few times to make sure everything was going well and if there was anything we needed. I can’t say enough about how helpful he was. The on-site property care taker Raynaldo was awesome, kept the property, inside and out sparkling, clean at all times. The cook was named Alejandra she’s super sweet and an excellent cook. She made some wonderful Costa Rican meals for us and one evening had her husband come who is a sommelier to do some wine pairings. What a treat that was!!!! The property is absolutely beautiful….. We would definitely stay there again. Thanks to Max we had a wonderful vacation. I highly recommend Casa Pelicanos!!! Can’t wait to stay there again soon.

Also Chef Dania came on multiple nights ( would recommend many nights) and cooked for all of us both healthy, local, fresh and affordable meals. Everything was perfect. Best vacation ever. We will be back :) Thank you!
Stayed 9 nights in Nov 2022
