An incredible stay awaits at this one-bedroom Flamingo Cove condo. Amazing sunsets, two incredible pools, and spacious balcony that extends the living space. You'll enjoy a fully-stocked modern kitchen, elegant master bedroom with king bed, renovated bathroom with sunken tub, and a large walk-in closet. The location and views simply cannot be beat. On-site security and a short drive to two of the most beautiful beaches in all of Costa Rica- Playa Flamingo and Playa Conchal.

The space
Perched atop the prestigious oceanfront South Ridge in Playa Flamingo, this fully remodeled one-bedroom, one-bathroom oasis offers breathtaking, unobstructed views of the Pacific Ocean, leaving visitors in awe. With a beach-themed ambiance that promises unforgettable year-round sunsets, this property stands as a unique Costa Rican escape. This coastal paradise offers a sublime coastal feel, complemented by panoramic views that rival the beauty of the surrounding Costa Rican landscape.

Located amidst pristine natural beauty, this beach-themed retreat provides an ideal haven for couples seeking romance, relaxation and adventure in equal measure. A short drive (or invigorating walk), from the property’s doorstep places residents and visitors at the heart of Playa Flamingo, renowned for its sun-kissed beaches and crystal-clear waters. Take leisurely strolls along the serene shores or enjoy invigorating dips in the Pacific Ocean’s inviting waters.

For those seeking adventure, Playa Flamingo serves as a gateway to a plethora of activities. Thrilling ocean excursions, including deep-sea fishing charters and sailing trips departing from the nearby world-class marina, await. Lush tropical landscapes beckon exploration through hiking and horseback riding tours. Alternatively, the adrenaline rush of zip-lining through the verdant canopy presents an exhilarating option. After a day of adventure, return to your equally exhilarating, well-appointed haven, where comfort harmoniously meets style. Thoughtfully designed with a cozy bedroom, fully-equipped kitchen, and chic living area, the decor captures the essence of coastal living, ensuring a seamless and tranquil stay.

As the sun begins its descent over the Pacific, step onto your private terrace with your favorite wine to witness the sky transform into a masterpiece of colors. The beauty of these moments is truly priceless. Discover the magic of Playa Flamingo and the surrounding beaches, where unforgettable memories await at every turn.

This stunning oasis also boasts an array of luxurious amenities, including two full-width Europa Accordion doors with sliding screens, Italian porcelain countertops, a jetted tub/shower, a Samsung 50” smart TV, smart lighting, a custom-built walk-in closet, a safe, smart fans, air conditioning, new indoor and outdoor furniture, a king-sized bed, a premium filtered drinking water system, and new windows. Plus for digital nomads we provide super-fast 300mbps WiFi speeds.

This one-bedroom, one-bathroom oasis offers 530 square feet of living area, providing both luxury and intimacy. Pura Vida!

The condominium is very nice, it overlooks the sea from all the apartments and the terrace is very spacious. The apartment was very well equipped, the host is very attentive and the ocean view is wonderful.
100% recommended for people who are going to visit the Flamingo area.

Excellent personal service. Being in another country can be a little scary, but the owners could speak English, and helped us with any problems that we had!
They also hand delivered some chocolate from Liberia !! We now value the owners as friends, and look forward to staying wirh them again.
The place was also amazing !

We enjoyed our stay. The pictures are accurate and the communication was quick & responsive.
5 stars is for what it is, a totally lovely condo, on a hill & NOT a 4 minute walk to the beach. It is about a 20 minute walk or 5 minute drive. We had rented a car.
We got free parking first thing in the morning at both beaches, later in the day it was a challenge as we were there over the holidays. It is $4 for parking at the Brasilito beach.
We enjoyed the views, the pools, birds and flowers.
The condo kitchen is as described. I was able to cook meals & make our own smoothies.
I don’t understand why Costa Rica has become so expensive. If the local workers make $600 a month, does all the money go into XPATS’s pockets? It is not just this place, but all over CR. Groceries & eating out is as much as in Washington State. Our Canadian dollar did not go far.
The refund policy is a bit stiff with charging more to get a refund policy. We have much better refund policies in CA & the USA.

We spent a week here & it was the perfect place to relax and unwind. The views (especially from the pool) are unreal. We saw the most beautiful sunsets every night. Newly renovated inside. Would recommend renting a car as it’s a steep walk to the town & slightly more secluded from restaurants, etc.

My boyfriend and I stayed here for 5 days. Sebastian was very responsive and friendly and provided many local recommendations for us when it came to restaurants, beaches and a local grocery store. The airbnb is pretty much just like the pictures and it is spacious enough for 2 people. The sunsets we saw were incredible and the pool was super clean. For the most part, the pool was pretty private. My bf and I walked to Flamingo Beach which was about a 25 min walk and also walked to A lo’ Nico for breakfast (also about a 20 min walk).
One thing I would highly recommend is renting a car if you are staying here. You can only get to the Airbnb through one dirt road and because it rained so heavily the last 2 weeks, there was one specific area that was hard for our Ubers to get through. If you order an Uber, make sure it’s Comfort because you have a better chance of being picked up in a 4x4.

Where do I begin. I’ll start by saying that my first trip to Costa Rica was greater than I ever expected. That started with the responsiveness of the host, Sebastian. He was very quick to respond to any questions I had and he even provided recommendations on food, excursions, transportation, etc. The condo is about an hour and half from Liberia Airport, but do not let that discourage you. There is plenty of scenery and culture to see on your way to the condo. Once I pulled up to the condo, I was met by the property security and he was very friendly and showed me to the unit. The view from the porch is even better than the pictures show. It’s so peaceful and quiet and the only thing you hear are birds, waves crashing on rock formation, and I even heard some howler monkeys in the trees close by. The condo is a short Uber ride or drive to various shops and restaurants in Petrero and Brasilito. If you’re on the fence about booking this place, this is your sign to make it happen.

This place was absolutely incredible. The view was absolutely breathtaking, to the point where sometimes we didn’t even want to leave the rental, lol. Sebastian was incredible and was always available for any questions we might have had. The place was very modern and the furniture/room in general was beautiful. We are already planning our next trip there and will definitely will be staying at this place again. Thanks for the incredible experience

Had an amazing stay in Flamingo, and Jesse and Sebastian were great hosts. The apartment was spotless, well-stocked, and very comfortable. Communication was good, and location was nice and central. But a heads up, the drive up to the apartment is on a rough, unfinished road so an AWD high clearance vehicle is definitely recommended.

Sebastián was very kind, attentive and very responsive.
The apartment was very clean and tidy, and looked exactly like the photos.
I'm very pleased with my stay, this is a beautiful place and has everything for your needs. Would book this airbnb again for sure!
Just a little heads up, for future guests be careful if your going in a sedan or small car as the last bit of road before arriving to the apartment is unpaved road so it might be a bit challenging if you're coming with a low car, other than that this is an excellent place to stay!
