What a great time!
The amazing parts of this experience far outweigh the negatives. We were met by a host to walk us through the property and rules. Every time we had a question, we received a great answer or recommendation. The house was beautiful, and my crew was very comfortable. We wish all the jets in the jacuzzi were working, or that someone would have come to fix it while we were there, but the team overseeing the property more than made up for that slight detail. I would revisit in a heartbeat!

Great House, Great Time
My Family and I had a great time in Playa Hermosa. The house was amazing. The Zindis crew Bryan and Milena were very helpful in lining up activities for us and helping with the property. If you are staying with a small child they charge extra money for a pack and play, and high chair. We've rented many larger VRBO properties, and these items are typically included, so for a luxury rental like this, i feel those items should be included at no charge. Other than this though, the property and experience were amazing!

Muy Bonita!
We had a group of 3 couples for this trip and loved the location: it's about a 10min walk to Playa Hermosa. I will say that the uphill you'll encounter coming back to this property might not be pleasant for all involved, however. They provided beach towels, snorkeling gear, and all the usual accessories and dishes for the kitchen. The AC's worked really well, and the gated community has a movie theater and mini golf! The view is simply amazing from the patio, can't beat it. There are a few negatives that I hope are addressed. The plumbing is a bit funny, some of the showers ended up with standing water while you're using them, one doesn't get warm at all (one of the master bedrooms near the driveway), the kitchen flooded mildly one morning but there's a drain in the floor so no sweat there..? The pool was a little green when we arrived but continued to get more green and cloudy throughout our visit. Maybe this is a certain style of pool maintenance that doesn't require chemicals, but it was less than desirable to get into once it started getting cloudy. The raccoons aren't anything to joke about; they will attack your trash if you leave it outside. It would've been nice to have one of those trash cages that a lot of other properties have. We ended up pulling the trash cans in the house at night to prevent it. All in all, a wonderful trip!!!

Taking care of business
This is a wonderful house that is comforable, efficient, and it has amazing views. We loved using the pool and deck area all day long. We did have a minor problem that came up that needed to be dealt with to help our group. The management company did an amazing job of responding to our need. It is in the beautiful Hermosa Heights community. We were close to beaches, restaurants, and able to take advantage of excursions as well. Worth checking out and you can feel confident they will take care of you. Melena was a great host throughout our stay!

Great house and view
Very easy arrival and departure process. The viesmw from the house is better than the pictures. Any issues were handled quickly and did not impact the stay. As we dis not rent a car for our group of 8 adults, the Zindis group helped arrange transport service, taxi service, coordinated an in-house chef experience and even did a bank errand for us! Many thanks to Emanuel for his amazing service.

Great View. Everything as advertised.
I loved staying here for 1 week from late December through early January. The view of Playa Hermosa is outstanding. I was a bit surprised that the water temperature of the pool is a bit on the cold side. I own a beach house a few hours to the south and stepping into my pool at 8pm is like a warm bath. This pool was a bit chilly even during the warmest part of the day. After some reading, I think it is the color of the tile. The builder used a brown tile to match the color of the house. I have a dark blue tile in my pool. I've read that tile color can affect pool temperature by as much as 5 degrees Celsius. Darker colors absorb more heat. Anyway I adapted to the pool temperature quickly. The management agency was very professional. We arrived an hour early and they allowed us to check in since the unit was ready. The local wildlife is notable. Parakeets and humming birds are common sights. We had a humming bird that seemed to make an afternoon visit at the same time every day. One night a racoon walked along the edge of the pool as I was enjoying a scotch. Be aware of the racoons. The trash can has latches to lock the lid on. I did not properly use the latches the first night we had trash and had to clean up the next morning. Even after putting on the latches, the racoons would still try to get in at night. Lovely creatures. I think they enjoyed my cooking. Near the end of our stay we took a morning sailing excursion with Sea Bird Sailing. I can recommend them for a nice time. I might try the afternoon tour the next time for the sunset. It was a wonderful stay and I would definitely rent again. Thank you Zindi for making our holiday memorable.

Perfect house in perfect location
This was our first trip to Costa Rica, and we could not have picked a better property in a better town. The pictures of the property from the listing are absolutely accurate but they still don’t do justice to the view. What caught us by surprise was how much we loved Playa Hermosa. It is the perfect sized town. In a week, we tried 4 restaurants in town and fell in love with 3 (AquaSport, Roberto’s and Foodnication). All were recommended by the great Zindis staff (especially Paula). Paula also helped us set up a couple of tours and massages. We did have a couple of very minor mechanical and process issues, but the staff worked quickly to help us resolve them. The response was quick and on point every time.

Wonderful property with an amazing view!
My family of five greatly enjoyed the property and our time in Costa Rica! Property was clean and well equipped. The extra towels for the pool/beach were greatly appreciated. You can’t beat the view, the wonderful coffee shop at the bottom of the hill, the close proximity to Liberia and beaches, and the amazing locals. Check in was smooth and Zindis group was available to assist with any requests if needed. Only recommendation I’d have would be the addition of a couple blankets for use. Also, make certain you properly secure the trash...the raccoons are sneaky and will visit nightly! Would not hesitate renting here again!

Costa Rica has been on our bucket list for a while. I was so impressed with this particular property when I saw it online and was anxious to see if it was a true reflection of the photos. It most certainly is. The house is lovely, very well equipped and so comfortable for our family of 5. The pool/outdoor space is beautiful and so private and the view is amazing.
