This 5 bedroom, 4.5 bath home, easily accommodates 10 people . 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! We offer the services of a full time cook at your convenience for a very reasonable rate that goes directly to her. The cook's 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 her weekly rate. The chef cooks in the outdoor kitchen. 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. Enjoy being beachfront on Flamingo Beach with a private swimming pool and tropical outdoor pool and barbecue grill. Take advantage of our Wireless internet 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!

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 and broadband wireless internet set up. 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.

At the Beach House, we can help you arrange everything from transportation, all tours and activities to personal massages at the house. We only rent to one group at a time. You will always have the entire property to yourself except for the outdoor kitchen which is used by the chef. Flamingo Beach Village is within walking distance where you will find restaurants, groceries, salon, disco, casino, pharmacy and Ocean activities.

This stay was loved by all! My husband actually stayed here 13 years ago, the house has been remodeled nicely.
We utilized the chef 4 of our 7 nights for dinner and had plenty of leftovers for lunch. Costa Rica (in my opinion, this was our third visit) is not a Foodie destination, however her food was fantastic!! We also went to Coco Loco (next door) and Patagonia Del Mar 9Both recommended and fantastic!)
The housekeeper, Jasmine was so sweet with the kids who are learning Spanish, asking about numbers and colors, and kept the house tip-top.
Lydia the house manager was always available to answer questions and wanted our feedback on the house when we left.
Location- the best! You had a pool, then went through a yard gate, and you were on the beach in 15 feet.
we highly recommend this home!

Just got home from our Thanksgiving week at the house on the beach. I have to say it was such a great trip. The house location is probably the best part with lots of space for our group of 10 adults and one 3 yr old. Directly out the front gate is a beautiful beach and the restaurant Coco Loco is right next door if needed. However we only ate out once because we had the chef Ivonne who was the highlight of the trip. I would say 100% hire Ivonne. Our meals were amazing and not having to cook or clean on a vacation with our kids and granddaughter was a game changer. Jasmine the housekeeper kept the place spotless. The sunsets from the upstairs patio are breathtaking every night. We even got a few rainbows in the morning over the beach. The bedrooms and bathrooms are all nice and it is rare to find a 5 bed/5 bath accommodations. The pool is so nice and we enjoyed hours of lounging and playing in the pool. Enis the property manager was there on check in and available for anything we needed. I would rebook this place in a heartbeat. Hope to do a repeat next year.

We ran into someone at the mini-mart on the first day of our stay from Nov 5-11, 2023 and when we told them where we were staying, they said “that place is legendary!” and we could not agree more. The five bedrooms/bathrooms were very comfortable & nicely decorated. AC & fans in the bedrooms and common areas were perfect. Both the inside and outside dining tables sat 10 people easily which was great for our group. We used the pool every day. The beach was just steps away – another fantastic benefit. You will be amazed how clean the beach is! We rented a golf cart from Flamingo Beach Golf Carts (about a 10 minute walk away) and that was helpful to run off to the mini-mart, do souvenir shopping, explore. Coco Loco Bar & Restaurant was right next door - excellent food menu, tropical drink selection and friendly service. The property manager Enis was so easy to work with and responded very quickly to anything we asked. Jasmina, the housekeeper, was there every day from 8:30-5 and kept the place absolutely spotless. We hired the chef Yvonne for 2 days and all we can say is WOW! Study the menu provided before your visit as you will need to decide your meals before you arrive. Download WhatsApp before your trip; main method of communication with Enis & Yvonne in CR. We saw nine howler monkeys in the trees next to the 2nd floor porch! We booked the Lazy Lizard Sunset Catamaran Tour – it was perfect! Some of us massages at tables next to the pool one day. Hint: Anti-itch meds helpful.

The property is amazing!! The pool is cleaned frequently and very nice! The house keeper Jasmina and Ivonne the Chef are the best!! Place is very clean and food is amazing! Booked excursions with Jonas and they were great experiences. Everyone wants to come back.

Highly recommended!! We (6 adults) spent 5 days at this villa last week. Enis (property manager) met us when we arrived and went through the entire house with us. She introduced us to Jasmina (daily cleaning) and Ivonne (chef). Jasmina kept the place immaculate and we hired Ivonne for three days. Every meal was delicious and her willingness to accommodate dietary needs was great. The house is very spacious, private pool very refreshing, beach access across the street is very convenient and Coco Loco restaurant next door for different cocktails and snacks was great. Doesn’t get much better than breakfast on the top porch looking at the beach or hors d’oeuvres in the afternoon with sunset. Looking forward to our next time in Costa Rica. Pura Vida!!

Overall the property was very clean and spacious. The location is right across the street from the beach and right next to the Coco Loco! The property manager Enis was so easy to communicate with. She replied promptly to any needs or questions. Jasmina kept the home clean and tidy. We ended up hiring the chef Yvonne and we do not regret it. We will be back!

Have already booked our fourth trip. Enis (property manager) was great to work with. Jasmine keep the place clean and was great to have around. Yvonne’s food was the best, and our child with celiac disease never ate better. We loved all of her food and never wanted to go out to eat.
The location of the house was perfect. The sunsets were beautiful and the music at Coco Loco was great to enjoy from our deck.
We rented a pop up and chairs for the beach
from Walter.
We used Jonas for transportation from the airport and rented golf carts for the house.

Wonderful location, right on the Pacific located at Playa Flamingo, this house was a perfect location for our growing family. The house easily accommodated 3 couples, 2 grandchildren and another adult. Lot's of bathrooms, plenty of room and super outdoor space made this the perfect location for a beach based location. Deck overlooking the beach perfect for dining and people watching.
As noted by others, as wonderful as this location is, the value add of having a daily housekeeper that comes included with the rental cost (Jasmina) and a personal chef (Yvonne) that you can hire separately, really is that value add that puts this property over the top. All meal preparation, clean up, everything handled so that you can focus on spending time with family and friends. And one of the best restaurants in Guanaucasta, Coco Loco, is right next door. If it's your desire, you never have to leave! If you are up for some sightseeing, trips to the Rain Forest, adventure sports, surfing, etc are all easily available and can be arranged in advanced by the local concierge, Alvaro, owner of Best Beach Concierge.
Booking was handled flawlessly by Lydia the owner who answered all my questions quickly upfront. Enis, the local property manager handled all of our questions quickly and was always a text message away, and again, Yvonne the chef and Jasmina the housekeeper were the sweetest most helpful hosts anyone could ever want.
Looking forward to our next trip back to Casa Playa!

Great place to stay for the 8 of us. The jewel of the house was the chef, Ivonne! She made us whatever food we wanted.

The house was great, but Jasmina, the housekeeper and Yvonne, the chef made the place amazing. We ate out a few times, but found Yvonne’s cooking to be much better! Jasmina kept the house immaculate every day, so we didn’t make our bed, set tables, cleaned off tables or do dishes. Our trip was a trip of a life time! The ocean was steps from our door, the pool was warm, and we were next door to a restaurant/ bar. Great location!

This house was absolutely perfect for us. There were 8 of us and the house accommodated us perfectly. I highly recommend enlisting the services of the house chef; we ate amazing meals with a beautiful view from the comfort of the house for almost very meal. The sunset view every evening from the deck is gorgeous. We cannot recommend this house enough.

We stayed the week before Christmas. The house had a great layout (we had early risers upstairs & late sleepers downstairs). The chef has her own space in the building next to the pool. The bathrooms were all renovated & so pretty. We loved having every meal overlooking the beach on the upstairs balcony. Yvonne was an amazing chef & the sweetest person. She & Yasmina made our trip so special. The location is great. The beach wasn’t crowded. It’s an easy walk to town to get ice cream or go shopping. We loved having our own pool as well. Jonas did a good job of arranging excursions for us as well as transportation to and from the airport. I miss being there!

We chose this property based on the fantastic review. After one week at Playa Flamingo with 8 adult family and friends we are excited to report back that this property match all the other reviews.
The location was perfect, the house manager was easy to work with and full of great info, including an intro to Jonas who set up fishing charter, catamaran trip, golf cart rental and transportation.
We hired the cook and that was the best part of the vacation. She was a great cook and an even better person. Our cleaning lady was amazing and treated us like we were her family.
The home is a beach property so it has the typical wear an tear of properties on the beach. No real issues just some musty smells on the bottom floor. The house manager quicly fixed the smell. The second story patio was where we spent most of our time. The beach was A++ and it is so much nicer than Tamarindo. The local restaurant next door (Coco Loco) was superb and very affordable.
The place was safe and the local people were extremely friendly. We highly recommend this home and would book it again without any hesitation.

Book this home! Having a house with a pool right on the beach in beautiful Playa Flamingo (with an incredible staff) made for the perfect family vacation. The house is in the perfect location, right in the middle of Playa Flamingo and right next door to Coco Loco, the only bar/restaurant on the beach. But- Coco Loco closes at 9:30, so there is no worries about late night bar traffic. There is a road in front of the house (between the house and the beach) but it is quiet for 90% of the day (except sunset!); we didn't have any worries being there with our children. The pool was beautiful and perfect for relaxing in the afternoon when it got too hot on the beach. Jasmina and Ivonne (the housekeeper and chef) were incredible and made the week incredibly special for us. Absolutely book Ivonne for your meals! She cooked us (amazing) breakfast every morning - eggs (traditional and Costa Rican), fruit, breakfast meat and plantains every day -- and pancakes for the kids. Her lunches and dinners were spectacular and she is flexible with dietary restrictions and requirements (my picky children loved her ribs, arroz con pollo, and amazing mahi mahi she got from the fishermen who drive through Playa Flamingo). Jasmina kept the house incredibly clean and was so kind. They also know everyone in town, kept an eye on the house when we were away, gave us recommendations, and even came to find us when a sea turtle came out of the sea to lay her eggs, so our family could share this once-in-a-lifetime experience. The house is a bit dated (the kitchen is small, but Ivonne cooks in her own outdoor kitchen) but the beds are comfortable, the AC is good, the internet works, and the decor is nice. One thing to know- the two upstairs bedrooms are accessed via an outdoor staircase (no internal stairs) so it would be perfect for two families, but could be challenging for a family with many kids (we stayed downstairs with our kids and the grandparents stayed on the top floor). Enis was communicative and helpful in getting everything set up and we loved the excursions we did with Jonas (zip-lining and an animal preserve and a sunset snorkeling cruise on the Lazy Lizard). Surf lessons in Tamarindo with SALT were amazing and Alvaro at Best Beach Concierge provided us chairs, cornhole, an umbrella, and boogie boards on our beach days. It was a perfect week and you should book immediately!

The first thought about this house is how accurate the description is. It definitely exceeded our expectations. The morning coffee-beachfront view is unparalleled, challenged only by the surreal sunset.
The house is on a bustling beach-frontage dirt road, right next to a fantastic restaurant (The Coco-Loco). Even thought it was very busy, we never felt that it invaded our privacy. It was like we had a front row view to all of the activity, like going to the beach with all of the comforts of home.
The amenities were fantastic for 3 families, never felt crowded with all of the balcony and poolside seating. The kitchen was a little cramped but we mainly used if for breakfast. We did make fresh Mahi tacos and Ahi Poke but used the grill outside. All of the Beds were comfortable and bedding was changed each day by Jasmina (what a great service by this lady). It was nice that all of our breakfast mess was cleaned by the time we got home from our adventures.
The pool was used daily, alternating with the ocean. Cheapest groceries were found in Brasilito at Super New China, as well as the fresh fish market.
Thanks to Enis who met us for check in as well as check out and kept in constant contact the whole time. Pura Vida!

Playa Flamingo beach house was everything we had hoped for. While the location of this house is fantastic, the house itself was perfect for our family of 9. Our three grandsons ages two to seven had a wonderful time enjoying the pool and the beach right across the little street. Hiring Yvonne as your chef is a must. She was absolutely wonderful. Her food is so very good and extremely flexible with the children and vegetarian needs. Also Once you set the menu with her she will do all the shopping. Jazmína will handle every household need and is so very thorough with all of her cleaning. They make an outstanding team.
Working with the owner Lydia and the property manager Enis was super easy. They both were very prompt with any questions. Part of our party had airline issues on the day of arrival but Enis coordinated everything with the driver transportation service Jonás Adventours. Despite the travel issues Jonás and his team got us all to the house with little difficulty.
We had Jonás set up a river tour with guide that was one of the highlight of the trip. Our driver Heiner was extremely knowledgeable in all things Costa Rican from wildlife to geography. Highly recommend Jonás and his team.
We rented golf carts instead of cars fro Chip and Jenn. Easy to work with and a great way to get around. If you are going farther than the golf carts are allowed to go I would recommend getting Jonás to take you.
Coco Loco right next door is a fun place for dinner or lunch and they will take a reservation so you can eat dinner and watch a sunset from the beach.
I would advise downloading and using WhatSApp to communicate with both Enis and Jonás. Very easy to do and they both are very responsive.
Would definitely rent again. The house and location are great for a group of ten or less. Such a friendly and beautiful country!

The Beach House was not high-end luxury, but it was absolutely perfect for a beach vacation. Location, Location, Location!!! I don’t think a better house exists on Flamingo Beach when it comes to location. The proximity to the beach, to Coco Loco and incredible sunset views can’t be beat. We stayed the week leading up to Christmas with 6 adults. Several items had been recently remodeled and were nice features. I think we spent most of our waking hours on the 2nd floor patio. The house was clean and Jasmine was constantly maintaining that. We hired Yvonne for the week as our private chef. If you are considering that option, stop thinking about it and DO IT! She was amazing and the food was at least as good, if not better than most of the local restaurants we tried. In addition, we always had food left over.
We took the owner’s advice and had Adventours Costa Rica pick us up and return us to the airport. Roger was a terrific driver, meeting us as soon as we walked out of immigration and offering to make a stop at any stores needed before reaching the house. Once at the house, we opted not to rent a car and instead chose golf carts. We rented 2 golf carts from Chip and Jennifer from rentagolfcartcostarica.com and they were delivered and picked up from the house with no issues. We also booked an excursion through Jonas at Adventours and he hooked us up with Lazy Lizard Sailing. If you have the opportunity, you will WANT to take the afternoon catamaran snorkeling trip. Great crew, good food and drinks, fun snorkeling opportunity and amazing sunset views on the water.
Other than our excursion day, we opted to stay on the beach and just enjoy the sun, sand and water. Based on another review, we had Alvaro with ‘Your Best Beach Concierge’ set us up with a canopy, chairs, table and cornhole boards for the first day. We like it so much, we continued it for the week. It was so hot, without that tent, it would have been too hot to lay out on the sand. Get a tent!
This was our second trip to Playa Flamingo but first at the Beach House. I know we will be back and the Beach House will be our choice for our vacation home.
PS – My family wanted to mention, they loved seeing and hearing the monkeys some evenings (and mornings) in the backyard!

I booked this house for a week long stay with 5 adult couples. This house was perfect for us and met all of our needs. It sits directly on beautiful Flamingo Beach and right next to Coco Loca restaurant, which was delicious and super convenient. The sunsets from the main porch are unforgettable. We loved walking the beach ever morning, swimming in the warm water, and playing in the waves. The best part about the house is the staff. The property manager, Enis, is great and ready to handle all your needs, though we didn't need to contact her often. Jasmine, the maid, is incredible. She shows up every day and cleans the whole house, including doing your laundry. She is very efficient and hard working, and keeps the place looking very nice. I cannot stop raving about Ivonne, the cook. This is an add on service but I am telling you - YOU MUST HIRE HER! Her cooking is amazing! She can accomodate different dietary needs and preferences in your group and serve you all kinds of amazing meals that will be a highlight of your trip. Everyone from our group is missing these meals since we sadly had to go home. Overall, this house is perfect for a group to enjoy Costa Rica.

Thank you SO much! This house is everything advertised and more. This was so much better than staying at a resort. We were right up on beautiful Playa Flamingo and could go from the beach to the pool and relax all day. The private Chef that was recommended was affordable and the sweetest lady on earth. We love her! She cooked every meal we could ask for and the food was delicious. Again, Thank you for everything!

We had an amazing week at Beach House Flamingo. The house was clean and comfortable. You can't beat the location. Yvonne's meals were delicious. Jasmine kept the house spotless and clean. Jose built a bonfire on the beach and was there every night if we needed anything. We felt completely safe with all the measures that were done during our time in Costa Rica due to Covid. The staff at this house are so kind and helpful they made our trip perfect!

Jose built a bonfire on the beach and was there every night if we needed anything. We felt completely safe with all the measures that were done during our time in Costa Rica due to Covid. The staff at this house are so kind and helpful they made our trip perfect!

The house says that it has accommodations for 10 but the table to eat meals does not. Could use more lounge chairs by pool and more outdoor seating. The house keeper and Chef are wonderful. You can’t beat the location but the house is dated. Having said that most people come to enjoy the beach and activities so it was a comfortable and save place to stay!

This property is directly across from the beach and has the most amazing sunrises and sunsets. The bedrooms are large and there’s plenty of room for everybody to spread out. The pool was a wonderful addition for us to be able to socially distance and still be outside enjoying the wonderful weather. Really the only thing about the property is that the kitchen in the house is not suitable to cook your own meals you really will need to go out to eat or hire the chef. But we would stay here again for sure it was a wonderful experience there were 10 of us for a week and a half and it was a good time.

The house was exceptionally clean at our arrival. The check-in process was easy and the views are stunning. Just cross the road and you will be on the beach. Jose and María (the guard and the maid) were very nice and helped with everything that was needed. It's comfy with two kitchens, the beds are nice and the internet worked perfectly. The pool was perfect, private, and fun. We used the barbeque and had no issues other than the sporadic afternoon rain (needs coal). Great host communication, too.We did have some issues like the air conditioner not working in one of the rooms, they tried fixing it several times and it finally worked on the last night of our 4-night stay. One of the bathrooms didn't work and there wasn't hot water when we arrived, but Jose fixed both things the very next day! He's very efficient! It rained a lot for an hour in the afternoons (expected in rainy season) and there were at least three leaks in the ceiling. There is a design mistake of the roof over the balcony, which makes all the water flow on the balcony railing and then comes inside the balcony itself (this can be easily fixed, though). The TV in the living room upstairs didn’t work and couldn’t be fixed, the one downstairs worked beautifully.There is only one true sea view room (upstairs), the other two in the bottom floor have the view blocked by the gate and the cars. There aren't TVs in the rooms, just in case (I went with elderly people who need the TV to fall asleep, so this was a little bit of an issue.In summary, the house needs some updating and fixing, but my family and I would definitely go again. So, if you overlook these details and you don't mind them the place is great. We had an amazing time!
