Wonderful House

The house was wonderful and exactly as pictured. My kids loved to come back to the warm pool after a long day at the beach. We loved the shade in the back of the house in the afternoons to get a break from the sun but still enjoy the outdoors. The beach that's within walking distance to the house is great for walking on and exploring tide pools. We however spent most of our time at Playa Avellanas as it was better for swimming and surfing.

Amazing Property, Great for familles

This was our second year in a row to stay at Casa Ola Aloha. We made so many great memories here. The house is perfect for entertaining both adults and kiddos and the management staff is wonderful and responsive. Our kids said they loved waking up to Jeanettes yummy breakfast and swimming in the pool the most.

Amazing property

Had a great time staying here! Place was amazing and outdoor space is spectacular! Just a 3-5 minute walk to private beach. Quiet neighborhood and very safe. Booked private chef from pura vida catering Garrett Hurley and he was absolutely amazing! Highly recommend doing that. Would definitely stay here again.

We'll be back!

We enjoyed a fabulous stay in this impeccable home! Our hosts at Vida Pinilla were extremely attentive, checking in several times with us both before & after our arrival. We have rented many homes over the years and this is definitely one of our favourites! Super well equipped kitchen, luxurious bedding & amenities, spotless & all around comfortable! Walking to sunsets on the beach is a wonderful perk! We hope to be back next year! Pura Vida!

Extraordinary Family Experience

Family of 9 gathered for a celebration of life. Our patriarch passed in January. He was a great adventurer and lover of photography. The house, location and country all added to our time together. Very professional team members, super communication, and service. All of our needs were met and more! The property is gorgeous and extremely well taken care of. What a treat to live there for the week!

Absolutely Amazing

Words are not enough to describe this absolutely amazing place. The house and decor couldn't have been more inviting, yet at the same time, comfortable with all of the conveniences of your own home. The layout is so family and large group oriented such that everyone could enjoy being together, yet have plenty of private spaces. We had 3 couples and 4 young children, so all had our own bedrooms and baths. The backyard and pool were perfect for us, and the adults could see the kids as they swam, even while in the kitchen, dining, or family room. The icing on the cake was our wonderful housekeeper and breakfast cook, Jeanette! Whatever you wanted, she cooked it. And coming home to a clean, spotless home with clean bath and pool towels was a big treat for parents! I cannot say enough about this vacation in paradise!

Costa Rican Paradise!

Our family of 5 had a wonderful stay at Casa Ola Aloha! We loved the area which felt very safe and allowed us to enjoy different outdoor activities such has horseback riding, tennis, surf and biking. We enjoyed lovely sunset cocktails at the Beachclub and great ceviche by the ocean. Our family is quite active and we took advantage of the electric bike rental shop and enjoyed tennis matches surrounded by monkeys in the trees! The house itself is just spectacular, tastefully decorated with a modern relaxed Costa Rican vibe. The kitchen was fully equipped, beds very comfortable, and we enjoyed several lazy afternoons by the pool. The home is kept clean with a daily maid service who also cooked delicious meals for us on a few occasion upon demand! Host was very responsive. Overall a beautiful home which made for an amazing trip and we will be sure to come back! Thank you!

Perfect family retreat location!

Casa Ola Aloha was perfect for our family get together. The location is just a little over an hour easy drive from Liberia airport and just south of Tamarindo. The beautiful beaches of PLaya Avellana and Playa Langosta, which were great for surfing are a just a few minutes' drive time away and the beach which is basically across the street is picturesque. We saw monkeys in the trees during the 2 minute walk there. The home itself is beautiful inside and out. It is a very well designed with an open concept and well decorated. We loved all of the outdoor showers. Janet is an extra bonus. She keeps the house well cleaned and she is an excellent cook. The property of Hacienda Pinilla has many conveniences and Joel, David and all of the Hacienda Pinilla staff were very welcoming and provided great recommendations. We especially appreciate their recommendation for Garrett with Pura Vida catering. It was delicious!! We look forward to our next visit to Casa Ola Aloha.

Wonderful home to relax.

My husband was worried about renting a home in a foreign country and worried it would make us a target for crime. But we didn’t need to worry.This property is in a gated community with security officers and feels very safe. The home is amazing. Big and open, yet comfortable. It is not right on the beach, but it isn’t too far from a beach. The home had everything you needed and all we had to do was go grocery shopping. The pool and hot tub were lovely. We spent time in them every morning and every night. You do have to turn on the hot tub (a button on the ground near the edge of the house) and it needs time to warm up, but once it was hot it was wonderful. The kids did lots of TikTok’s, snaps and bereals to brag to their friends about their amazing vacation home and we’ve all come home with wonderful memories. There was construction next door when we were visiting, and it was noisy during the day, but we were able to tune it out and it is probably temporary. You can log into your streaming services on any of the smart TVs. You control the A/C in each individual room, which was nice. The beds and pillows were really comfortable and the sofa was nice and cozy. You can rent a golf cart to get around to the beach club, Marriott, golf club, beaches, etc., but we didn’t do that because we spent more time traveling around and doing different activities in the area (sunset cruise, surfing lessons, jet skiing, etc.). We would absolutely stay here again!
