Bella Vista – Casa Q • 2 BR Penthouse Retreat • Rooftop Terrace & Ocean Views • 5 Guests

We had a wonderful stay at this VRBO rental in Costa Rica. The property was exactly as represented, with comfortable accommodations including a cozy master bedroom and living room area. The kitchen and bathrooms were very well-stocked, though visitors from the U.S. may notice the toilets are not quite as robust as back home. The kitchen had everything we needed to prepare our home cooked meals.Our favorite part of the stay was definitely the incredible view. We enjoyed daily walks to the nearby beach and picked up groceries easily at the mini super. It's worth noting that the terrain is quite hilly and lacks paved shoulders or sidewalks, making walks adventurous and requiring some caution but doable.The neighborhood was quiet and felt very safe, with a security guard present from 5pm to 5am. Amenities like the washer, dryer, dishwasher, pool, and balcony were fantastic and added greatly to our comfort.The host was responsive and helpful, offering clear instructions and great local recommendations. A few minor repairs are needed on the property, but none of these impacted the quality of our stay.We highly recommend this rental for its stunning views, ideal location, and overall comfort. Just be prepared for steep hills when heading out on foot!

This condo is situated on the 5th floor and has an amazing view and an exceptional rooftop terrace. It is well-equipped although there are a few minor items needing maintenance. Use of the rooftop terrace requires ascending a long flight of stairs, somewhat problematic for elderly tenants. The location is convenient to Playa Hermosa and Playas del Coco by car. We had one significant problem, which was not the fault of the owner or the rental agent: The elevator was out of service for 5 of the 7 days we were there.

Beautiful views of Pacific Ocean. Loved the private patio. Staff was frienldy and helpful. Overall great experience.

This is a lovely property that we plan to book again. We had a couple glitches that were resolved immediately and as well as possible. The unit has all the kitchen basics to cook, but if you are accustomed to high end cookware, you won’t find here. There is plenty of space in common area for a family of 6 and the view from dining area made this condo a very special place. The top floor private deck is also a lovely setting for watching the sunsets. There are a couple minor repairs that should be done, but overall the condo furniture etc is very adequate with comfy enough beds. The location is very close to several beautiful beaches both quiet and more lively. You definitely need a car to get around. We spent half our time on the beach and the other half doing the volcano and jungle activities. The concierge Paula is very knowledgeable and her recommendations were well received. The condo provides beach towels and chairs that came in handy. Our big disappointment is that there was no pool deck furniture whatsoever. So if you want to hang out by the pool, you would need to bring chairs down numerous floors. Perhaps since it was end of slow season the furniture had not been put out. We never asked. Fortunately there is plenty to do aside from lounging by the pool. Hermosa and Ocatol beaches were our favorites. The staff was extremely responsive to all our needs and suggestions. Couldn’t ask for better property managers. The convenience of Liberia airport made the entire trip less stressful. Easy in and easy out. Costa Rica is not an economical vacation. We found the restaurants etc on the same price level as in the US. As an example, without air fare, but including car rental, lodging, dining out most nights but eating in for breakfast, tours, the vacation for four people ran us over $10,000.

This property is amazing! Perfect ocean view in the morning and at sunset! Quite and relaxing. Zinndas can make anything happen for you

This penthouse condo is perfection. The view is spectacular! We appreciated the rooftop area with outdoor kitchen for stunning sunsets and cocktails.

Had a great time in Costa Rica! The condo was very nice and we had a great view of Playa Hermosa. Pura vida!

The view is magnificent. Our stay was peaceful. The penthouse with rooftop patio had everything we personally needed to make our stay very comfortable. We love Playa Hermosa and Costa Rica. Our house manager, Edgar, ensured we had everything we needed, etc. and even loaned us his binoculars as we fogot ours. We will return to Playa Hermosa as we have fallen in love with the location and people. Thank you Edgar for taking amazing care of us during our stay!

The penthouse condo was absolutely amazing and the private, rooftop terrace was spectacular. Beautiful ocean views by day and wonderful starry skies at night! I would highly recommend this place and hope to stay here again. Edgar, the house manager, was extremely helpful and responsive! Thanks Edgar!!

This place was awesome! Views are even better than in the pictures. The only sad part was leaving. Would highly recommend this home.
