This is what life should be all about ... Getting a family of 5 teens plus parents to agree on anything is just about impossible! However, we all came to the same conclusion after spending our vacation at Villas Casa Loma. The solution to our vacation dilemma was to rent a 3 bedroom, 3 1/2 bath villa in Flamingo Beach overlooking the marina area. The villa was just about perfectly suited for our needs. The massive upper level - with huge kitchen, living/dining room, master bedroom and very spacious covered L-shaped and open terraces opening off of the bedroom and living room were just the ticket for family meals and get-togethers. The well appointed terrace became our preferred 'family room' overlooking the marina area! Downstairs, there were two separate bedrooms with walk-in closets, private bathrooms and lovely views of the gardens, ocean and swimming pool. One of the bedrooms also had a well-equipped kitchen with pass-through to a poolside breakfast bar - very convenient. Proximity to Flamingo, Brasilito, Tamarindo, Surfside, etc. is a big plus. There are such a wide variety of restaurants featuring foods from just about everywhere in the world, making the location perfect for a hungry family of 7. A supermarket is just around the corner. As well, there are quite a few medical clinics, pharmacies and dental clinics in the area. Our needs were well served. Close to the Villas are a variety of fishing charters, surfing shops, dive shops, three world class golf courses, tennis courts and excellent tour companies.Never a dull moment for us! Thanks to our hosts Tom and Igor for the many excellent suggestions and for providing us with a perfect set-up for a memorable vacation. Anna Maria

This is my second stay at Villas Casa Loma. Although there are plenty of options for accommodations around beautiful Flamingo Beach, I wouldn't consider staying anywhere else. The property is beautiful and the owners are on site and always willing to help with whatever you need. From the private front porch of my Villa, I was able to enjoy gorgeous sunsets into the Pacific Ocean every night. The pool is beautiful, quiet, and relaxing. If your interested in venturing off to the many outstanding sights in the area, the owners have all the answers. They will help with scheduling any of your activities. Villas Casa Loma is my favorite place to unwind and I will be back as soon as I can get there.

My Mom, Sister and I were beyond fortunate to stay at Tom and Igor's remarkable property and our trip could not have been more perfect. Villas Casa Loma was hands down one of the best places we have stayed and believe me I have rented many properties thru VRBO and I do not hand out 5 star reviews lightly. From the moment we set foot on the grounds we knew we had found our home away from home. This was before we even entered our private villa. The villa itself was beautiful and comfortable and the views were spectacular from every door and every window. Views of the lush landscapes of the grounds, to the jungle behind and below the villa, and the ocean, marina and bay to the west. We lived on our villa's remarkable covered terrace! I have never seen more diverse flora and fauna anywhere than on their property. Lovely pathways link all the villas and pools together, yet they are all well placed to give each villa nice privacy and views. The most memorable gifts this property offered had to have been the sounds of the jungle each morning and evening. The birds, howler monkeys and tree frogs make the greatest music! Stunning to see and even more amazing to hear. The location was exceptional, just far enough away from the main part of town but not so far that you could not get anywhere you needed to go in a matter of minutes. We rented a car which made life so easy during our stay as well as enjoyed some greats tours with EcoTrans. Tom was an absolute pleasure to work with before and during our stay and hands down one of the nicest people we have ever met. You can tell he and Igor have put their heart and souls into their property and it shows everywhere. His entire staff were wonderful especially Willy who always greeted us each day with a big smile and kept the pools sparkling. We miss our little feline friend Cali. August is an incredible time to visit Costa Rica, the afternoon storms were breathtaking. Some of the most amazing thunder and lightening shows we have ever witnessed. Wow, did they generate some stunning sunsets! This was an incredible adventure and a place we will never forget. We cannot thank you enough for such a magical stay.
