You deserve a break, so kick back and sip a cold drink in style in the salty air here in Flamingo Beach! As soon as you step foot in this home away, you will immediately be greeted by the eclectic tropical decor, stylish furnishings, and open layout of the dining area, kitchen, and living room. The sand is mere steps away, so there will be no delay in getting those sandy toes and sun-kissed skin. When you return to home base, head into the fully equipped kitchen complete with all modern appliances, beautiful stone countertops/backsplash, and breakfast bar seating to whip up tasty recipes with ease as you reminisce with loved ones. Plus, everyone can stay connected with stable WiFi and the TV in the living area will come in handy for movie nights as everyone kicks back on the plush sofa or comfy recliner.
Though you will have everything you need right at your fingertips, there is a commercial center (Flamingo) less than a mile away with a small grocery store, a restaurant, and a car rental. The beach at Flamingo is a beautiful white sandy beach mere minutes away as well. It is recommended that you rent a car to be able to move around and discover other beaches in the area like Playa Conchal, Brasilito, Playa Grande, and Tamarindo. For nightlife and more shops and restaurants, visit Tamarindo, which is about 25 kilometers south.

We love the area, and the private beach is so nice. The marina has really helped the neighborhood flourish!

Great view and well appointed kitchen .. very clean … parking directions not clear .. google led us to parking lot on another street … need to make it clear parking is on end of street where marina is located …. Suggest providing beach chairs … water clear and warm …

Pro:
Nice, safe development with semi-private beach
Beach is relatively calm - generally no big waves
Spacious unit with nice view of trees and bay
Great balcony space
BBQ on balcony
Con:
There was a red ant problem when we were there in dec 2023 - outside on entry deck and inside the unit
As noted in other reviews, bit of a struggle to carry cases across grassed area and up one flight of stairs to unit
Unit is not very well maintained - guest sink plug sticks and you can't undo it, rubber edging coming off shower door, toilet in guest bath running
5.0 / 5.0
While the location of the condo/ocean view was great, communication with Vacasa staff was poor. One of the toilets wasn’t working and it took them 4 days to repair.

Property was perfect for our captain and crew to stay at for the tournament at Marina Flamingo
5.0 / 5.0
My husband and I really enjoyed our stay at this property. The condo had everything we needed. Beach chairs, beach towels, coffee, iron, shampoo, hair conditioner and other miscellaneous items. The balcony looking over the beach was perfect. The views were stunning. Very quiet area as well. The location was also perfect. We did not have a car rental and cancelled our a golf cart reservation because we felt that a lot of places were walking distance. Playa Flamingo is right around the corner and so is the new Marina Flamingo. There is a really good coffee and bakery shop at the marina. Great restaurants nearby and on Monday nights from 6:00PM - 9:00PM there is Monday Moonlight Market. Also a short walk from the unit. The unit was very easy to get to from the Flamingo Marina Cove parking lot where our private driver dropped us off. It took us 1 minute and 30 seconds to get to the unit with our carry on cases and personal bags. We were very happy with our stay.
3.0 / 5.0
Pros: Incredible beach to swim at every day. No crowds.
Cool birds, and iguanas in the "backyard". You can hear the ocean from the condo, and the view out the back to the bay is simply stunning.
Close to some fantastic restaurants (highly recommend Amigo's Tacos Y Beer, La Cazuela Del Marisco, & Banana Wind at Margaritaville) and Playa Flamingo Beach if you like more waves and people watching.
Internet and Netflix both worked for us although we had to reset WiFi on our laptops every day.
Cons: Getting to the condo upon arrival was a fiasco. I had reached out over a week prior to the trip for assistance with airport transfer. Gustavo was so nice telling me he would help me, but didn't, and when we arrived we were on our own. We ended up getting a cab (it's about US$100 to get to Playa Flamingo from the Liberia airport) but it is not easy to find and if it weren't for accidentally running into the housekeeper at the top of the "resort" I would not have found it at all. I hadn't even known the resort I found her at was the one we were in; I was just trying to find WiFi in order to contact Gustavo. Fortunately she thought to ask me if I was in 413 and even though there was a language barrier, she was persistent and got us into our condo. Meantime (while I did not have access to internet in the cab) I had received a What's App and video from a different contact than Gustavo, (adding to the confusion) bringing me into the condo from a completely different entry point which of course I had no idea about at that time. So for future reference, have your driver take you to "Flamingo Marina Cove", and you can get to the condo from the bottom of the hill easier, (Vacasa will send you a video) but you still have to walk through an adjacent resort and the backyard lawn and it's convoluted finding it for the first time.
The condo is attached to a hotel/resort that even though is listed on Google Maps as a 4* Waterfront Hotel with Outdoor Dining, it is quite abandoned. There is a pool and hot tub that are still in working order with a fantastic view of Potrero Bay, but do not expect this to be a working resort. The tennis court was in bad shape, often with sitting water on it, the playground was overgrown and in disrepair, and there is no restaurant.
This condo sits on a steep hill and without access to parking, that means you have to walk up and down whenever you go to eat or shop. For us this was not a problem, we like the activity, but it is a hard walk.
The day we arrived there was loud banging in an adjacent condo, it sounded like there was construction going on. That came and went throughout our stay.
Two times we lost running water, once over 15 hours overnight. Little things like flooding from draining water from the kitchen sink, the ice maker not working, the guest bath toilet having to be flushed from inside the tank, a leak in the guest bath shower, and no knob on the clothes dryer were mostly just inconveniences. The A/C unit in the bedroom leaked onto the bed one day completely soaking the pillows on my side and I had to move to the guest room for two nights while it all dried out. (Maintenance the next day was great, and they attended to the other plumbing issues as well). The A/C in the living room would periodically go into E1 mode and stop working, then turn itself back on eventually.
Sadly, it was very difficult to sit on the back deck and enjoy being outside because of the mosquitos and other biting insects. We bought some Off but even using that, the buggers would find the spots we missed, so we couldn't spend much time on the incredible back deck enjoying the outdoors without getting bitten.
All that said, we absolutely loved our time in Costa Rica. We love the food, the people, the climate, the beauty, the wildlife. It's not uncommon to lose power, and getting places is much slower than many of us are used to because the infras...

Nos gustó mucho. Lo único negativo es la entrada con valijas. Pero sacando eso todo impecable. Tuvimo un par de temas y los solucionaron a la brevedad.

Very comfortable place to stay, everything you need. We loved sitting out on the porch overlooking the beach. The property was a little aged and there are many stairs to get to the room, but overall we very much enjoyed it here.
5.0 / 5.0
The semi-private beach in such a popular, developed location is rare. To be able to hear the ocean all night w/o the hubbub of many popular locations is great, and yet you can still drive a few mins, or walk 15, to wide open Flamingo beach. Hosts were available and friendly at all times. Once you arrive, getting your luggage to the unit is a little inconvenient, especially if you have large suitcases, but worth it, as you can then walk 100 paces down to the small private beach. Unit is well maintained, AC and WiFi worked great.

The condo met all our needs for a beach vacation. Kids enjoyed the private beach, and the property was very well kept. The condo had everything we needed, and we were very comfortable. Would recommend for couples and families.

We loved the view and privacy with beach and ocean access. It was dreamy and so convenient to have our own beach. Two porches was awesome!
4.0 / 5.0
Great view of beach and access to and from unit. Good selection of utensils, beach accessories, and deck/patio furniture. Not enough explanation of how to get to unit or what’s included with this unit in other amenities. A few other details that could use improvement includes: a/c units were intermittent on their operation, no light in stairwell, no explanation on use of safe box, no explanation of what services and restaurants were in the area. Lack of parking, had to walk on the grass to get from parking area to unit which is a little difficult when you have large luggage

Awesome place and fantastic beach!
The place is amazing. Great views and close walk to the beach. The beach is beautiful and nearly private. The unit is clean and well supplied. Parking is a bit of a walk to and from the unit. Gustavo was wonderful and quick to respond and very helpful.

Property was exactly as described, never got tired of the views. There was construction going on at the Marina which created noise and dust.

Quiet Hide away
This condo is tucked away in a decent spot near Playa Flamingo. The decorations in our unit showed that the owners love their Costa Rica condo. Access to the condo is a short, dusty road. Just a reality for Costa Rica. Pura Vida.
Nearby is a fantastic taco restaurant and grocery mart. Also close is the famous bar 5 o’clock somewhere. Great drink specials and bring your camera for stunning sunset photos.
4.0 / 5.0
perfect location if you want a quite place
The location is great but difficult to find. Hopefully you have a car with GPS telling you where exactly to turn because it does not appear to be a road. The privacy is great along with the short walk to water.
We walked everywhere and the restaurants (Marie's (breakfast) and Camparino (Pasta)are fantastic.
Hopefully you rent a car from and honest company and not AVIS at the airport. Our prepaid reservation was given away to a walk-in customer for 3 times what we paid. Avis corporate was notified and brushed it off as a Rentalcare.com problem.

Great stay
We loved the condo itself - see our pros/cons below. Would definitely stay here again! Mucho gracias Gustavo.
Pros:
Great view
Easy check in & Gustavo was quick to respond.
Beach access is 50 steps away
Private
Great neighbors
Condo is well stocked with appliances - coffee pour over, coffee pot, blender, juicer, filtered water and ice, and many pots/pans. Great for cooking.
Great communication from the property manager - he even sent us a video of where to walk to access our suite.
There’s a small convenience store on the way to flamingo beach - has all necessities.
Cons:
Not actually on Flamingo beach - about a 10min walk away. This isn’t a con if you want a more secluded beach - the one in front of the condo is great!
-No parking due to the construction. We parked where the manager told us to, then had to move as they were trenching some services in for the marina construction. Will be great not to be in the construction zone.
The condo is a little dark but we didn’t spend much time inside so didn’t bother us.
The sodas are the best places to eat in Costa Rica - hands down. The closest soda is about a 30min walk along the bay where the boats are moored but so worth it.

Exactly as advertised
The condo was clean and king size bed was comfortable. For the most part, the water pressure issues were fixed (there was one day that they had to do some work on it). Views, semi-private beach, and proximity to restaurants and other beaches was perfect. Construction on the marina made for some parking adventures but noise was minimal. Do be prepared to hike with luggage and groceries because the parking lot is far. Gustavo was great and helped with with all of our questions (even helped get our COVID test lined up prior to heading home). Do plan on using WhatsApp as that's the preferred communication method there.

This condo is gorgeous and has a stunning view. We enjoyed the spacious kitchen and deck areas as well as the proximity to the beach… literally steps from its own private beach. The grounds are beautifully maintained and the property management company was easy to work with.
We loved our stay in condo 413 of the Flamingo Marina Condos and were wishing we had booked a few more days! Thank you!

Excellent getaway!
I stayed in Flamingo Beach for 3 nights. We were located on a private beach that was to die for.
You could hear the ocean from the bedroom. The condo has a great view and was very clean and comfortable!
Gustavo was always on top of everything and very helpful with everything we needed and asked about.
I would definitely recommend it.

I didn’t want to leave!!
Located on a fabulous secluded beach; We loved relaxing on the patio for coffee in the morning and drinks in the evening…then listening to the surf all night! This condo is very well appointed, comfortable and clean. The showers are challenging with very low water pressure, but that is the only thing I thought could use some improvement. We loved the Flamingo Beach area and will definitely return!

Beautiful beachfront condo
This Flamingo condo is easy to get to & very spacious once inside! Due to our flight being delayed we arrived after dark. Gustavo had already sent my directions, lockbox code & a video of how to enter. This was extremely helpful as we arrived in the dark. It is several sets of stairs involved but we enjoyed the exercise.
AC works great & bathrooms are very accommodating. We will definitely stay here again. :)

Beautiful Condo
This place was amazing to stay at. The unit itself was very clean and updated. I loved the double slider doors that opened to the ocean. The only thing I didn’t love was how far of a walk it was from the car to the unit. We had a bit of luggage with us and had to haul it up and down quite a few stairs to get to where we needed to go. Otherwise this place is within walking distance of several restaurants and beaches. Would definitely stay here again!
