We had an incredible stay at this property! The location was a 10/10 as far as access to the beach, the break, and feeling safe within Palm Beach Estates. The house is gorgeous and new. We visited during spring which was HOT so having the pool was a huge bonus. The house manager was extremely helpful. She helped us set up everything and was so easy to communicate with. She made our trip so special including special gifts for our son who we were celebrating. Our house was cleaned every day by the cleaner including laundry! One highlight was the personal chef who the house manager coordinated for us. The meal was incredible and they were so sweet. If I had to critique one thing about the house it would be the size of the bathroom in the master upstairs—all the other bedrooms/bathrooms are large. But that was the only thing. We would absolutely choose this property again.

The house and property were great. The host was very helpful.

Just got back from another fabulous stay in Costa Rica. While we stay in Palm Beach Estates every April, this was our first stay at Casa Buena Vida. I reached out as soon as I noticed Dawn was the Host—we have worked with her at another property before, and she is AMAZING!The house is exactly as listed! We were a party of 9 and were very comfortable. We thoroughly enjoyed time on the back porch, where we viewed monkeys daily. When not at the beach, we made use of the pool, volleyball court, and gardens. It was wonderful! Having your own private beach path is such a nice perk—especially with teens who want to run back and forth!The entire process from rental to check out was seamless. Dawn is so responsive and ensures you have everything you need before and during your stay. She arranged excursions for us, had groceries waiting on arrival, secured a beach tent for us, coordinated airport transportation, and secured our nightly dinner reservation for us. We had one issue with a shower drain and Dawn had it taken care of pronto. I can’t say enough good things about her!We are already looking to book our return to Casa Buena Vida for 2027!

We had the best time at Casa Buena Vida! The home and property was absolutely fabulous & immaculate. Dawn and Ruth were beyond fabulous from start to finish and made every aspect of our vacation seamless and extra special. Got to surf out back, ride bikes, explore the area, do yoga, cook, eat great local food, massages in the backyard, just overall a great vacation and immaculate property!!!! The home is so well decorated & stocked and the yard is next level, beautiful gardens, fabulous pool, truly so peaceful and exactly what we came for. We will be back!!! Thank you guys for such a beautiful vacation and home.
