The property and Host were exceptional! Patrick was accommodating and his team were so wonderful and enjoyable to be around. I would highly suggest utilizing the driver, Miguel (he is so nice and fun to talk to), definitely take advantage of the included breakfast (ask for the pico), and take advantage of the chef's dinner - all outstanding.
We traveled with a group of 10 and the house was more than enough room to accommodate each person. The hot tub was nice to have at the end of an adventurous day, and the back patio was where we played bird bingo every morning!
Having Patrick set up our excursions took so much stress out of planning because all we had to do was show up and have fun. Plus, reconciling the tab was a breeze at the end.
If you're looking to relax, not think, decompress, and have good food, stay here!

Great place to stay in the rainforest. Nice house with pool and lots of sleeping space. The breakfasts provided daily are fantastic. Patrick is a great host and concierge. Beautiful views of Lake Arenal. I would definitely recommend a vehicle with 4-wheel drive. Drive to the Fortuna for many of the activities is about an hour. Small town with nice restaurants is about 15 min drive.

Our family of 16, ages 7-81, stayed at this wonderful VRBO for 5 nights! It is an absolutely amazing property from the spaciousness, the beautiful details of the tilework and incredible custom woodwork, the views and the wonderful indoor pool which we all enjoyed in the evenings. When sitting in the foyer looking up the beautiful stairway, we felt like we were in a lovely boutique hotel and expecting to see other people come down the stairs! It is amazing!! The pictures cannot show how beautiful it is.
But the most wonderful part is Patrick the owner and his wife Elisa. He lives on the spacious property and the first night they prepared a delicious dinner for us to celebrate a 9 year old birthday complete with an amazing cake! She and another lady also made a delicious full breakfast every morning. Just show up in the dining room at the time you decide and be ready for a wonderful experience. A perfect way to start each day!
Having never been to Costa Rica and planning this for 16 people I was very concerned what, when and where to do things! I didn't need to be worried! The first night Patrick discussed all the options. We decided what we wanted to do with his advice and he booked them all for us! We just showed our reservation # at each place. He even made dinner reservations for us when we asked suggestions. He is the best VRBO host I have ever experienced.
If you are staying in the Arenal area, check out the Red Sunset! You also will be amazed I am sure!

We had a wonderful time at this property. Pictures do not do it justice. The breakfast was huge and included a bread (waffles, bagels, or pancakes) eggs, fresh fruits and a smoothie. It was different each day and just as good each day. Patrick booked all our outings and custom tailored it for our family. I hope to return one day! Don't hesitate to book here!!!!

Patrick was an awesome host with many suggestions of activities besides what we had already booked ourselves. The house and pool house were great and fit our family of 12 perfectly.
He never let us down. All of his recommendations were right on. We highly recommend you won’t be disappointed.

Stay was good, breakfast was delicious every morning. Home is better suited for a large gathering - was not as geared towards a small, young family which is fine. Certainly intended to be rented with extended family / friends in order to take advantage of all the property has to offer. With our small group it felt a little "Shining"-esque, especially since the Lake Arenal roads were closed during our stay due to landslides.
Patrick was a great resource and was able to give us fantastic advice where to go, especially given the road closures we had which are common in the area. When coming or going to/from the airport, be sure to make the 5 minute detour and explore Llanos de Cortez waterfalls. Was certainly a highlight of the area.
Roads were a bit Costa Rica normal, so be prepared for some off-roading. Just keep pressing the skinny pedal on the right and you'll get there just fine. Coming from Colorado we felt at home on-trail.
Place was great, had fun.
Thanks!

This house and property were HUGE, with great views of the volcano and surrounding area, and had room for everyone in my large group! It was fun and quirky and just right. The breakfast was spectacular each morning. Patrick was the perfect host and helped us with terrific advice on activities and even made reservations for us. This house is definitely a "do-again!"

The Red Sunset is by far the best place we have ever stayed. There wasn’t anything that you could need or want missing, and the artwork in the house is an artist dream world. We saw Toucans and Guans every day. The view is stunning, the pool and everything with it fun, and the entire house is extremely comfortable. We loved every minute we spent there. Oh yes, can’t forget the very best breakfast in the country!

The house is in a beautiful location. We enjoyed the pool and hot tub and breakfast was really nice. Patrick recommended some great activities that were perfect for our family and helped set up all the bookings. I would highly recommend staying here!

This house is amazing!! We were a group of 14 and had more than enough space. The view from the house is absolutely beautiful, we saw toucans, parrots and hummingbirds from the balcony. Patrick, the host, took care of literally everything for us. Transportation, excursions, recommendations, reservations….all taken care of. They made a delicious breakfast every morning and we had them make dinner for us two of the nights and it was fantastic.
Highly recommend!!

Five senior women set off on an all-girls adventure and it did not disappoint. Patrick and the "sunset team" were terrific, from the fabulous daily breakfasts to the top notch excursions that were recommended. The only negative thing I would mention is that the house could be challenging for those with disabilities, as you had to step up or down to get from room to room and there was no railing on the stairway up to the second floor. Having said that, we had no issues because we were very careful. All in all, this was a GREAT place to stay for us and I highly recommend it.

House was absolutely fantastic! Patrick helped make our day plans, and even made the reservations so we could just show up! We used his driver which was a blessing- all 6 adults admitted no one would have wanted to drive those roads. Breakfast that was included was always delicious, and enough to keep you going until dinner. We had a dinner at gingerbread that was amazing, and Patrick cooked for us one night as well. Make sure to do both!

We were a party of 6 adults. This was my 4th time in CR. This is the nicest house that we've stayed at. We used this house as our base for visiting Tenorio NP, Monteverde, and Arenal. It's a bit of a drive to some of the places...but that's half the fun! We were joking that our destination was only 12 miles away but took 1 1/2 hrs to get there!
Views of Arenal Lake and the volcano can be seen from the patio. There wasn't a lot of birds or wildlife in the area while we were there but the views made up for it.
Breakfast was included in the price. It is delicious! We had 4 different meals every day we were there. I can't pick a favorite because they were all good. Topped off with fresh fruit and smoothies! We also had them prepare a meal on our first evening there. We choose the Italian meal. There was enough leftover for the next night!
There is a large indoor pool with a hot tub. The hot tub felt amazing after some of the hikes we took. The pool temp was a bit cold (68ish) for me but others in my party enjoyed it.
The property is close to a small town with several restaurants and small market. It's easy to find with the WAZE app. We only had 6 adults in our group. Could easily sleep more. Plenty of room in the house to spread out. Pool house is separate and very big. This is a great property to stay at!

We had a wonderful stay. The house was gorgeous and the setting was picturesque. The online pictures don’t do it justice. I was a little concerned that the travel to Arenal and La Fortuna might be a little far and difficult but it wasn’t at all. Patrick made everything so easy. He booked all of our excursions and made fantastic recommendations. His family lives in a house on the property and it was very reassuring having him only minutes away. He came over every morning and checked on us and helped to plan our day. His wife, Alisa, was also very helpful and hospitable. She and a helper came over every morning and fixed the most amazing breakfasts. The pool was huge and they had foosball, pingpong, a pool table and a workout area. There wasn’t a single thing we didn’t love. If you like bird watching it was heaven. We saw toucans, parrots and dozens of other species. It was an incredible value for the money. I highly recommend this property!

Wow what a great vacation in Costa Rica! It was always a dream of mine to take my parents to Costa Rica. They are turning 72 in the next couple of months. We had a wonderful vacation and the Red Sunset of Guanacaste was the perfect place. Patrick lined up all of our excursions and took care of everything for us. The driver was waiting for us at the airport when we arrived and everything went smoothly from there. We rented a catamaran on day 2 on lake Arenal and had a great time. We travelled to La Fortuna a couple days, Rio Celeste one day, and then a waterfall close to Liberia one day. It was a great vacation filled with lots of activities! The breakfast every morning was so good and kept us going until supper most nights. Miguel who is Patrick's driver was wonderful when he drove us and when his other drivers drove us they were wonderful as well. A couple of tips: The Gingerbread house is an absolute must, best meal I've ever had. We did family style with the 7 of us and it was outstanding!! Bring cash for Miguel and you save 13% for cash. I did run short on cash. The catamaran is cash and so is horse back riding. The horse back riding is so nice at the neighbors place and the owner who is also a very proud Grandpa is adorable.The pool and hot tub are a great addition to the house. We enjoyed them at night. Remember no matter where you stay in Costa Rica you are going to have to drive to see many things. Just take it all in and remember you are on vacation!! I will return!

Our family recently had the pleasure of staying at Red Sunset in Guanacaste through VRBO, and the experience met all expectations. Patrick, the proprietor, played a pivotal role in ensuring our trip was nothing short of extraordinary.
From the outset, Patrick showcased an impressive level of knowledge about the area, guiding us through various excursions and seamlessly arranging bookings. His assistance was indispensable during the 8-day airline challenges, demonstrating an unwavering commitment to guest satisfaction.
One standout feature was the professional bilingual transport service Patrick organized, which not only proved friendly and accommodating but also added an interactive element to our journey.
Opting for the Dinner meal service was a brilliant choice. Patrick not only catered to diverse dietary requirements but also allowed us to influence the upcoming day's menu. The culinary experience consistently amazed, with portions surpassing our needs.
Situated in the cloud forest, Red Sunset offers a central location for exploring the wonders of Costa Rica. The facility itself, perfect for our group of 10 adults, provided privacy, comfort, and easy access to wildlife and recreation.
Our stay at Red Sunset was a fantastic cloud forest experience, made exceptional by Patrick's hospitality. I highly recommend this VRBO property for those seeking

The host Patrick and his son Hunter are the epitome of perfect hosts. The property has so much ornate and fine detailing it's a living masterpiece. I brought my family of 16 and we had private rooms with bathrooms and beds to spare. I recommend you let Patrick make dinner as it was exquisite and perfectly delivered. The breakfast they serve is over the top with meats and eggs and breads and smoothies and fresh fruit. No expense was spared to make our stay memorable. We will certainly book here again on our next trip. It was a pleasure to stay here and we are sad to leave. Simply amazing....

Patrick and crew went above and beyond to accommodate us with their unmatched sense of customer service and their obvious people skills.
Breakfast was great every morning, the place is clean, private and very interesting and large.

We could not have asked for a more lovely stay at Patricks place. These guys truly know how to take care of your every need. Delicious home cook breakfast every morning, and Patrick even made us dinner a couple of nights. I can honestly say he made some of the best meals we had while in Costa Rica. He also set up excursions and transportation for us. Patrick and his crew are incredible. This was a stay we will never forget. Thank you for everything!

I am so glad we decided on staying here. It was a culmination of things that made our stay perfect! 1st was Patrick and his wife Alisa were perfect hosts. The meals they prepared were tasty and filling, we didn't have to plan anything(Patrick did it all for us), the house was soooo comfortable. It felt like home and the views!!!! Oh my goodness, the veiws were amazing. I would sit out on the balcony and have my coffee with their friendly dogs while looking out at the volcano and watching pelicans land in the trees in front of me. Simply soul refreshing!!!

This property is unbelievable. The owners go above and beyond their duties, from cooking dinner for us the first night and breakfast every morning, too booking all our excursions. This was a trip that we will never forget.

Our group of ten adults stayed at the Sunset Nov 1-5,'23 and could not have been more pleased with our experience.
Villa – The home is amazing with views of Lake Arenal and the Arenal Volcano. The humidity in the Cloud Forest can be quite thick, but the AC units in the bedrooms made sleeping very comfortable. A separate refrigerator for guests was perfect.
Food – a delicious breakfast was prepared each day by Luisa & Mar. Each day was a little different but always included freshly prepared smoothies (to which we added rum). We opted to have Patrick make dinner for us for two of the nights – both dinners were absolutely amazing. We also had fabulous meals at Gingerbread Restaurant & Hotel and Tinajas Arenal.
Transportation – Miguel was our driver for our stay (airport pickup & excursions) and was absolutely, positively, without question, a highlight of our trip. He took great care of us and was always happy to make stops whenever we wanted and also took us to out of the way places for food, drinks, or amazing vistas.
Excursions – take Patrick seriously when he says wait to book your excursions until you get to CR and meet with him. Our group enjoyed: white water rafting, Bogarin Trail sloth park, animal rescue center, hanging bridges, Baldi Hot Springs, and shopping.
Helpful hints: Download WhatsApp before you leave home, best way to communicate w/ host while in CR. CC/US$ taken (MC/VISA mostly; Amex/Discover sometimes). Take raincoats/ponchos, reusable bags for shopping.

The house is big, plenty of room for family get together. The breakfasts every morning fixed by Patrick’s wife and a helper were suburb. Patrick fixed dinners for us almost every night and was very good at all the dietary restrictions we gave him. Everyone was very tolerant of two very rambunctious boys. There were no toys for the youngest at 2 yr old. But he did enjoy the pool and hot tub. The bedrooms were large comfortable each with their own bathrooms. The kitchen had everything you could ever need. The outdoor patio over looking lake Arenal was wonderful. We had a couple mornings were the clouds were right on top of us, hence the Cloud Forest. We hired Miguel as our driver for the week and he was suburb in his accommodation of our group and knowledge of the area. He acted as our tour guide. While the older members went on adventures Miguel took others with the 2 yr old to wonderful playgrounds and stayed with us till time to go back and pick up the others. I would highly recommend The Sunset for large group vacations.

We stayed at this property for four nights in August 2023 and had a great time! It's a beautiful home with amazing views and absolutely wonderful hosts!! Breakfast was delicious every morning and we had dinner prepared for the twelve of us as well one evening! Patrick checked in on us everyday to make sure we had everything we needed and to book/arrange our daily outings. Miguel was our daily driver (which Patrick arranged for us too), as activities we some miles away, and we loved him too!

We couldn’t have been happier with the choice we made to stay at this property! Two families with teenagers were easily accommodated in this spacious home away from home, which included private baths in each bedroom, a comfortable living area, and a separate pool house complete with indoor pool and games that our kids thoroughly enjoyed! The property owner, Patrick, was like our own personal concierge…checking in with us each morning, scheduling tours, helping with reservations and attending to all of our needs. Elisa and Mar prepared hearty, delicious breakfasts for us each day, along with a fantastic traditional Costa Rican dinner the night we arrived. Miguel, our driver, was also wonderful, sharing his knowledge of the region and also pointing out lots of things (sloths, frogs, monkeys…) that otherwise may have gone unseen by our untrained eyes! When we lost an item at one of the sites we visited, Patrick and Miguel were instrumental in helping us to get it back…we were so thankful as it never would have happened without their local connections! Thanks again for a great stay! We had a fantastic time at Red Sunset!

We love Costa Rica so much that we planned our family vacation with 19 of us (ages 12-45) staying at Patrick's VRBO. From the moment our driver Miguel and his daughter picked us up from the airport, we knew we were in good hands. Patrick set everything up for us, every excursion, dinner reservations, grocery shopping, drivers, delicious fresh breakfast every morning, and home made dinner that didn't disappoint. The view from this home was just beautiful and peaceful especially first thing in the AM when it's still quite and you could sit on porch, drink your coffee and watch the parrots and toucans play in the trees and love on the neighborhood dogs. The bedrooms has ice cold A/C, the living room and kitchen don't have A/C, but there are plenty of fans to bring into these areas so you can very comfortably still hang out with everyone and not be hot. The kids and the adults took full advantage of the chessboard, pool and hottub. Most of the excursions we did were an hour away, but again Patrick booked everything and Miguel and his daughter Pamala were there everyday ready to drive us and make any pit stops we requested. Miguel gives you history on the area and always made sure the whole party was safely in van to go to next stop or return home. We all highly recommend the GingerBread House for dinner, you won't be disappointed! Make sure to stop in their German Town and get a icecream coffee and some food. We will 100% go back to this great VRBO, thank you Patrick and team!!

It was the perfect mix of feeling like you were in a
luxury resort but yet you were experiencing all the beauty and culture of a unique Costa Rica experience. The location was
gorgeous, service received from our host Patrick was amazing. He organized everything for us upon request and gave perfect suggestions when requested. The breakfast every morning was like a delicious feast. We had the whole house for our family alone and just walked out the door each morning to our fabulous drivers and did not worry about a thing. So many birds of paradise, toucans , horses all seen every morning from our patio. It was truly a vacation of a lifetime for me and my family . My husband , and children ages 24, 22 and 19. The perfect adventure with the perfect mix of relaxation.

The property is great. The surroundings are beautiful. The best thing about the house is the owner, Patrick. He and his wife and staff made us feel like we were part of the family. Patrick took care of arranging excursions per our requests. The breakfasts were incredible and the two dinners we had at the house were fabulous also. I hop eto be able to return again in the future.

The Red Sunset is a great property for the family. Multiple rooms each with an en suite bathroom provided great space for the whole family. Daily breakfast was AMAZING and so filling before heading out for adventure nearby. Patrick was great setting us up with different experiences and working them into our timelines as well as providing recommendations for restaurants in the area. The view is amazing and it was so nice being able to enjoy the jacuzzi at the end of each day. Highly recommend!!

It's been 5 days since we left and we still haven't gotten over missing the homemade breakfasts! The property was a perfect match for our family's needs. Patrick made fabulous recommendations for our excursions and Miguel and his driving crew got us where we needed to be safely. It was truly a trip of a lifetime!

This was our first time in Costa Rica and Patrick and his team made it remarkable! The location was pretty central to all of the things we wanted to see and do, and our driver (Miguel) was a gem. They each made recommendations for us to maximize our time and enjoyment. Patrick booked all of our activities for us and now I don’t ever want to travel any other way! It really took all of the stress and worry about planning off my plate for the week. The breakfasts each morning were delicious! It was wonderful to be able to choose what time we wanted breakfast each day so we could either sleep in or get a jump on the day. Patrick cooked two meals for us and they were superb. The house was so spacious. Each room has its own bathroom. My kids loved that no one had to share bathrooms. We saw toucans every morning off the patio and other types of birds and hummingbirds. Patrick’s friendly dogs helped us feel right at home as well. I hope we can come back again and stay! It was wonderful!

This home offers old world beauty and charm with modern amenities (bathroom in every bedroom!) and absolutely breathtaking views of Lake Arenal and the volcano. Patrick ensured all of our needs and interests were taken care of, arranging multiple excursions....this allowed us to literally show up in Costa Rica without planning a thing, yet we zip-lined, ATV'd, went on a chocolate/coffee tour, and swam in a waterfall. Additionally the daily breakfasts were amazing...we felt truly spoiled. Patrick removes the "daunting" factor of visiting a foreign country. I highly recommend this property!

We had a great stay at the Red Sunset! Patrick was very kind and helpful. We had him fix one dinner while we were there, and it was delicious. We loved the complimentary breakfast each morning. Very good cooks. All of our activities ranged from 45- 60 minute drive. We loved being in the mountains and having the incredible view.
