There're really 2 items to review when you book this house and that's the house itself and also the service provided by Five Star. On the house, as the title mentions, no corners cut, and no expense spared. The design is beautiful. The appliances are high-end. It's spacious. It's safe behind a guarded entrance. It's protected behind a robust alarm system and a heavy steel gate into the compound. It's comfortable with mini-split AC units in every space. And the view is the best in Tamarindo. If you desire to entertain and impress guests, this house will do it. As it relates to the team that looks after the house, Five Star, they were fantastic. Our concierge took care of everything for us. Coordinated all activities, coordinated our house staff getting us setup at the beach with chairs, coolers, tents, etc, and coordinated anything else on the fly. The house comes with 7-3 house staff that cook you breakfast and clean the house daily. Our staff Ule and Daysi were phenomenal. Ule incorporated cheese from his own dairy farm into our meals! This house and Five Star helped us make a lot of great memories and we absolutely would not hesitate to book a house managed by Five Star in the future. In fact, when we head back to Costa Rica, I'll go to them first and ask for a list of properties they manage to ensure we're in a house serviced by their people.

Everything about this property is first class including the property management and staff. We cannot thank them enough. The house is absolutely beautiful with high end amenities and comes stocked with all the necessities, and much more. We have rent homes all over and Casa Aurora may be the best of them all. We had a great time and hated to leave. Casa Aurora is PuraVida! Thank you for having us.

The staff keeps the house spotless the entire time and we’re just wonderful! This was our second time staying with Five Star and of course we’ll be back!

Stunning! The house and views were incredible. The staff were wonderful, kind and helpful. Couldn't ask for a better place to spend a holiday!

I have never wanted to come back and stay in the same location more. This experience exceed all expectations. The private staff and the concierge were over the top helpful. The quality of every little detail was fantastic. It was safe with round the clock guards at the entrance. Every part of the experience felt like luxury. The pool and back deck were an absolute favorite of the group. Every time we left for an activity the group just wanted to go back and spend more time at the house. I cannot recommend this location enough. I have no doubt Ill be back.

We had a wonderful time. The house was all we hoped it would be. We enjoyed that it was out of town a bit and yet so easy to walk to by beach or road. The staff were wonderful. We loved all the experiences five star helped us arrange including catered meals, surfing lessons, catamaran trip, etc. Great for all ages.

It was an incredible experience and we highly recommend this vacation rental property and the home staff that supported our stay! We travel a lot and tend to stay at very nice places but this property is probably the nicest - it is brand new and located very conveniently to both the beach and town. It is large and very comfortable.
