We absolutely loved our stay at Hacienda Pinilla!
Nice to be close to Tamarindo, yet removed from the busyness if it. We were 12 min from amazing restaurants such as El Rustico, and Soul Shine as well as the beach.. playa Avellana. Which is amazing for surf lessons. Elsa was incredibly helpful in making sure we had the things I requested ahead of time and responsive while we were there. One of our favorite airbnbs we’ve rented, hope to come back soon!

I recently stayed at this place with my friends and family. The pictures don’t do enough justice, the house was beautiful. In terms of transportation, the host Elsa responds very quickly and was able to help us a ride from the airport to the house and back. I do have to say, the community is very private and when ordering Ubers to get around, you had to inform the security about anyone coming in. In that sense, it’s a really safe place to stay at. I would recommend this place!

Family Gathering
This property was perfect for a family of 12. Everyone had private space and the indoor and outdoor gathering spaces were excellent. The location in Hacienda Pinilla surrounded by interesting wildlife and a five minute walk to a ptivate beautiful beach was ideal. We had stayed in a house in Tamarindo on the beach in the past. This location In Hacienda Pinilla was much preferable. The best part of this property was that it was managed by Stay in Tamarindo. The Concierge, Elsa, was friendly anwas always helpful with our questions and requests. She was committed to making our stay as pleasant as possible

Beautiful house, tons of space, great outdoor area with pool and huge grill, small beach at a 5 minutes walking distance. Some construction noise from the property next door during daytime some of the day, but not a big deal.

Family Gathering in Costa Rica
This was a great house for 12 family members, 7 adults , 3 preteens and two teenagers. It allowed for private space for everyone as well as great indoor and outdoor gathering spaces and a good sized kitchen. The best part was that it was managed by Stay in Tamarindo. The concierge, Elsa, was friendly, helpful and immediately responsive to all of our questions, and requests. She clearly wanted her guests to have the best possible experience. We have stayed previously in a house on the beach in Tamarindo. We preferred this quieter location with interesting wildlife about and a five minute walk to a beautiful private beach.

Fabulous home for family get a way
Our family stayed in Casa Orchidea for 1 week and would highly recommend it. We were in town for a wedding and our family and friends all stayed in Hacienda Pinilla. Our house, Casa Orchidea, was beautiful clean and luxurious. Each family member had space for themselves and adequate privacy. The home is decorated beautifully. Our House managers, Elsa and Mariam were responsive, helpful and very efficient. We felt safe in the neighborhood and had everything we needed for the week! Can't wait to return ! Pura Vida!

The photos do not adequately show off this lovely villa. Spacious, beautifully decorated and stocked with everything you'll need. And I can't begin to express my appreciation and gratitude for the concierge services. They expertly recommended or arranged the best services including in-house yoga, massages, and private chef. Transportation to town or for day trips were only an email away. Thank you Elsa Verges for making my 65th truly amazing.

Thank you for your review, Gilbert! It was a pleasure to host you and we are glad to hear you had a great time here at Casa Orchidea and your Anniversary celebration was memorable! We are sorry you experience some inconvenience with the internet and an AC unit. Our team did all that was in their hands to help with the internet, however, the problem was with the provider and they are external to our company so we did as much as we can. Regarding the AC, fortunately, we were able to fix the unit soon enough to make sure it wasn't an inconvenience during your stay. We hope to see you soon and thank you for staying with us, Pura Vida!

Made us want to move here
We have been to Costa Rica many times, but this is the first time we rented a house vs. stayed at a resort. This property is wonderful! The home is very large with 2 very large masters (1 upstairs and one downstairs). The highlight- besides the large pool is the upstairs living room and huge balcony overlooking the pool. Location is among the best- walkable to beach to view the sunset and hunt the tide pools with the kids, and a very short drive or golf cart away from the beach club and JW. Elsa who manages the property is the best! If you have questions, need to book excursions or anything— just ask. Her service level is what truly makes this a 5 star home. We had zero issues with the property! Last thing I’ll mention is that I was able to get good internet in the main parts of the home and worked full days on non stop zoom calls with no problems for several days of our trip. The internet is a little spotty in the corners of the house, but if you stay in the main areas, it’s solid and there’s plenty of space to set up a work station.

Girls Trip-Chapter 65
Our group of eight celebrated 50+ years of friendship and our 65th birthdays. This trip exceeded our expectations. Not only was the villa as lovely as the website pictures but the concierge services were outstanding. Our coordinator, Elsa, arranged for airport transportation, groceries upon arrival, excursions, spa treatments, private chef, etc. We had issues with the pool and was unable to use for a few days. However, someone came several times a day to monitor. The entire trip was smooth and amazing. I highly recommend this villa and would definitely return.

Spacious! Perfect for multiple families.
We had a great time at Casa Orchidea. Our trip went by way too fast. There were 11 of us and we had plenty of space. The house is in a quiet guarded neighborhood and we felt safe the entire time. Elsa and Mariam helped us arrange a last minute tour for our group which was super helpful especially because it was over the weekend. The house has a Britt coffee maker which we loved. The beach is just a short 5 minute walk away. We mostly hung out at the beach club which is a 5 minute drive from the house and has a better beach for surfing and swimming. Pay $10 to use it but they credit it to towards drinks or food. We will be returning next year!

We heard the property recently sold to new owners- and if they don’t keep Elsa, they are insane. Her service level is what truly makes this a 5 star home. We had zero issues with the property- that said, there are a number of small things like a loose wire in master bath and loose door on oven… that show the homes wear and tear a bit. As a renter, these didn’t bother us in the least- they were more the type of thing that if you were buying the home, you’d be counting up as little things that need update/repair- but again, as a renter, I can’t imagine they’d impact anyones stay as overall the house is gorgeous! Last thing I’ll mention is that I was able to get good internet in the main parts of the home and worked full days on non stop zoom calls with no problems for several days of our trip.

My family and I stayed at Casa Orchidea in February. The house is large with 6 bedrooms. However, the house is split into two living quarters. Each floor (first and second) have three large bedrooms, three full baths, a kitchen and a living area. While the first floor has direct access to the patio/pool area, the second floor has a large balcony with a hammock. The house is beautiful and is walking distance to a beach and short golf cart ride to Playa Lagosta, Playa Mansita (at the J.W) or Playa Avellana (at the Beach Club). If you are a large family and need space, I highly recommend Casa Orchidea. It is clean, the community is safe, well kept and close to amenities. During our stay we used Chef Ineth Delgado to prepare lunches/dinners for our family. We had a choice of various cuisines, ranging from local Central American, South American and North American food. The food was amazing and the chefs were so kind to our children. If you are looking for a chef to cook meals please use Chef Ineth! We spent most of our time on the property and visiting the Beach Club; however, the house is close to Tamarindo. Only about a 15-20 min drive. Finally, and most important, Elsa Verges. Elsa was our property manager who we would contact to assist with anything and everything we needed. Elsa always responded quickly and gave us the assistance we needed. However, Elsa was very personable and she never made us feel like we were bothering her (we had a lot of requests). She is personable and just an overall lovely person. Our stay would not have been as amazing and memorable without Elsa. If you choose to stay in Hacienda Pinella I hope Elsa is the person assigned to you. If not, ask for her. She is the BEST!

We enjoyed our visit to Costa Rica and the villa we stayed in at Hacienda Panilla. The villa was large enough to accommodate our large family and very clean. We especially loved the Beach Club and the pool by the ocean. Hope others will like it too!

Earlier this year, we started searching for the perfect place to hang out with the family after four years without visiting Costa Rica fue to COVID. If you are looking for a place to have some amazing holidays with your family, then Casa Orquidea at Hacienda Pinilla is your spot. The house is absolutely gorgeous, huge, well equipped and decorated. Elsa will help you making your stay more enjoyable since she is super resourceful, friendly, and responsive.

Amazing Vacation - Casa Orchidea
When we first booked our accommodations at Casa Orchidea we weren't sure how nice it would be by just looking at the photos. We were pleasantly surprised once we got there. It is such a beautiful house and you would never know it was a rental. Everything was in great shape and it was very clean. Plenty of room for all of us and the upstairs living area was a plus too. It was great after a day of surfing to come back to the house and jump in the pool and relax. Elsa Verges was always available to assist us with anything we needed. She was amazing! She suggested a few caterers for us and we went with Ineth Delgado and Flamingo Foods. Ineth and her staff were excellent and all the food was fantastic! Also, I have to mention that Casa Orchidea is in Hacienda Pinilla a wonderful & beautiful nature preserve. Casa Orchidea is part of a gated community so we always felt very safe. The Beach Club was fun and beautiful as well. What a great trip! Can't wait to do it again.

Our family had an amazing stay at Casa Orchidea. The home was plenty big for our family of ten. We loved the covered outside patio and veranda, and the pool was great to cool off in. Elsa and Mariam at StayTamarindo took wonderful care of us and helped us schedule a perfect week of activities.

Casa Orchidea- paradise at its finest!
Casa Orchidea in the Hacienda Pinilla is one of the most elegant and peaceful places I have ever stayed. Two stories of pure class and comfort that can house 5 families or 5 people in total comfort. The staff waits on you hand and foot and makes you feel like there is no one else at the resort. One phone call, text message or email and I had everything from White water river rafting, top notch chef service or just a ride to the pharmacy. When not if I go back to Costa Rica I would not stay anywhere else. I would like to personally thank Elsa Verges for taking care of me and my guest. She is a class act and a solution maker. I couldn't of been happier having her as my contact while on vacation.

Se encuentra localizada en Hacienda Pinilla, por lo que disfrutamos mucho del lugar, corrimos, hicimos bicicleta, fuimos al club de playa Pinilla, al JW Marriott y playa Avellanas. La cercanía de esta casa nos facilitó ir a la playa caminando y ver atardeceres espectaculares. La limpieza de la casa y las amenizadas están muy bien.

Wonderful Vacation!
We had a beyond wonderful stay at Casa Orchidea! The pool and backyard patio and grill area were perfect for our group of 7. We truly relaxed there. The spacious home had great spaces for everyone and the beds were so comfortable. We could have spent our entire time enjoying the house, especially the outdoor area. Hacienda Pinilla Beach Club was fabulous, with a breathtaking beach that goes on and on, a great restaurant and beach/pool bar, and a very nice workout facility. 6 of us took surfing lessons there. The instructors were so knowledgeable and attentive—perfect for us beginners. Mariam was beyond helpful and did a tremendous job coordinating our late arrival, car rental, excursions, and even groceries for us. She was so responsive to every question or concern we had. She had great suggestions for restaurants and where to get groceries, too. Her coworkers were wonderfully helpful, as well. Delma had a pleasant smile for us every day and helped make some of our group breakfasts, as well as assisted with clean up. The sunset Catamaran excursion that Mariam arranged was perfect and one of our favorite days. It was worth every penny—the snorkeling, paddle boarding, kayaks, drinks, food, and especially the guides were incredible. We loved exploring Tamarindo and especially loved Witch’s Rock where we enjoyed sitting at the outdoor bar, their craft beer, and watching the surfers. We loved and highly recommend Cactus Restaurant (whose owner and staff could not have been more welcoming to us, even calling us family, telling us family history, and accommodating all food allergies and preferences) and Il Rustico (which had equally welcoming and accommodating staff). Both served delicious food and drinks in unique, rustic, beautiful settings. We saw plenty of wildlife, including monkeys, birds, cows, deer, and iguanas, breathtaking sunsets, and gorgeous beaches. Everywhere we went, the people of Costa Rica were kind, friendly, and welcoming. This was our first trip to Costa Rica and each one of us hopes to return!

Mariam was awesome. She did a great job helping us prepare for our stay. Met us the first day and then helped us arrange excursions through out the week. Delma was amazing both in her cooking skills preparing breakfast every morning and her housekeeping. The house was well equipped and large enough for two families totaling 10 people. I would recommend a rental car and golf carts while there. Mariam arranged all that so it was at the house when we arrived. She also arranged transportation from the airport. Make sure you go into Tamirindo and walk around.

What an amazing home! This was our second time to rent this house. The first time was a group of adults and this time was multiple families. The house worked wonderfully for both.
Beautiful house inside and out...easy walk to the beach for sunset or a 5 minute drive to Playa Avellana.
The housekeeper was superb and made excellent breakfast for us every morning. Her homemade tortillas were to die for.
I don't find this to be a negative, but the community is pretty remote...a good 15-20 minute drive to Tamarindo, restaurants, grocery, etc so keep that in mind if you're wanting to be close to more tourism/nightlife.

With three toddlers and three teenagers to please, we found lots of options for relaxation and activity, and we had great spaces in the house to hang out together. The pool was lovely, and so was the beach club at Hacienda Pinilla. Those of us who too day trips, found the travel time a bit too long, however. We especially enjoyed the lovely breakfasts cooked by our wonderful housekeeper Delma, and the dinners cooked for us by the catering company recommended by the management company.

I stayed here during my wedding with my bridesmaids and it was perfect! The house itself is just like the pictures and so beautiful. We had 13 people in the house and everyone was perfectly comfortable with plenty of space. The bedding is actually much better than the pictures show! the bedspreads are updated and very chic. It was great being able to stay in this huge house but also have maid service every day (other airbnbs I’ve stayed at don’t have this).
The location of the house is great (in case you aren’t familiar with the area). It’s walking distance to beach access and a short drive away from the JW Marriott and beach club (highly recommend going)
The house had everything we needed and the check in/ checkout process was a breeze! The managers of the house were so nice and provided a lot of great information about the house & town. They also were so accommodating to every request we had.
I didn’t know about it until a few days before but they also offer breakfast service where you provide the ingredients and the staff cooks. This was SO AMAZING to have during our stay with our 13 people - so much easier to not think about breakfast. Not to mention the breakfast was delicious (the fried plantains & queso fresco are so good!!)! They are very flexible and will cook whatever you want/ provide ingredients for.
In conclusion I can’t recommend the house enough for your large group of guests! It was the perfect choice for hosting our large group for my wedding

We loved Hacienda Pinilla and we loved Casa Orchidea. Totally recommend. It’s a great house with an awesome layout. The best thing was waking up early in the morning and having coffee on that gorgeous patio by the pool while the cook made our breakfast. We loved the grill and the pool and we loved being there in Las Golondrinas because it was easy to get to the beach without having to drive very far. We stay in a lot of vacation rentals but we especially like this one because it’s not so sterile as some of them are. It has this antique hacienda mansion feel that we really loved. We will be back!

Really neat house with pool and pavilion and even some visitation from some monkeys!The house has a nice bar and TV area upstairs and we enjoyed most of our dinners outside near the grilling area.Everyone we met was super nice and we had a lovely lady provide breakfast each day.Our concierge, Mariam, was most helpful and provided excellent advice. This is definitely the place for families or small groups for an outstanding vacation- John Halper"

I can’t even begin to describe what an incredible experience we had. The house was perfect. Right next to the beach, in a beautiful neighbourhood. The house has 2 living rooms which was great for the kids and adults! The backyard and pool area is huge and private so we could BBQ and hang out as if we were in our own private tropical resort. I would recommend checking out the Beach Club, we really enjoyed it! There is so much to do and Mariam set us up on some
Awesome trips, we loved the all day adventure. Mariam also pre-stalked the house with food and our amazing housekeeper prepared breakfast for us! The location is great and Casa Orchidea was everything we were looking for!

Great Family Vacation!!!
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our family of 13 went to Costa Rica to celebrate my in-law's 50th wedding anniversary. The house was spacious and perfect for our family to enjoy and we had plenty of room for everyone. Maura the housekeeper was wonderful and attentive. The entire staff at Stay in Tamarindo were fabulous to work with and helped to make our vacation unforgettable. We enjoyed several activities - ATV tour, Canopy tour, Private Catamaran and Safari tour and we enjoyed them all! We also enjoyed relaxing by the pool at the house and at the Beach Club. We had the catering company prepare dinner one night at the house and also ate at the Beach Club, JW Marriott and at Patagonia in Tamarindo. We felt very safe in the gated community of Hacienda Panilla and appreciated the warm welcome that the people of Costa Rica gave us. It was a wonderful week and we would love to return!!

Best home around
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: What a great place. The home is beautiful and Hacienda Pinilla is an amazing community. We loved the great room upstairs and the kids had all the space the needed. The home is a 3 minute walk to the beach where at low tide you find the biggest tidepool ever. You can snorkel in it. Maura who cares for the house is very sweet and attentive. Having someone to clean up and help made the vacation so much better. Nearby we loved dining at the JW. Marriott, 2 min away, Our favorite Restaurants were Tamarinds at the JW and Pangas in Tamarindo. The Stay in Tamarindo folks were great as well. They helped us with every question or concern we had. I would use this company again for sure. We did a few tours with Edwin and went fishing on Pargo ***** with Captain Charlie. I highly recommend both. Fresh wahoo for Dinner. The beach club at Hacienda Pinilla is a great place for the family to hang out as well. It is about 5 minutes from the home. Really good surf there. Then the other direction is a beach called langosta about 5 minutes in the other direction. Super private and beautiful. If you hunt around inside Pinilla you can find several empty beaches. This place is very private and we saw tons of wildlife. Little central american deer run through the communities and the monkeys seem to be everywhere. I love this place.

One of our best experiences in Costa Rica!
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We love Costa Rica! We have been visiting for the past 5 years and have stayed all over the place, from Dominical all the way to Arenal. This time we decided to go to Tamarindo! The community where the house is located has access to a beautiful Beach Club at just a few minutes from the house. We were also lucky enough to be able to visit the JW Marriott during one of our days and enjoy their amenities next to the beach. There's a beautiful beach called Playa Mansita, close to the Marriott with access to anyone staying inside Hacienda Pinilla, we loved it down there! Casa Orchidea was absolutely spotless. The bedrooms are very comfortable and large. King beds on every bedroom. A large balcony overlooking the backyard and the pool. And the lounge area at the pool was fantastic! We enjoyed several nights of BBQ late at night. We will definitely stay again here in the future!

Best Location in Guanacaste
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We stayed at Casas Orchidea in March and found a beautiful Colonial home in a 5000 acre Hacienda. We were awakened by Howler Monkeys every morning and saw parrots, monkeys, deer, brahma cattle and even a coyote. Inside 2 guarded gates we always felt secure. The house is Amazing and actually looks like the photos. The attention to detail makes for a truly luxury experience. The Hacienda has every activity within its secure boundary as well as 6 restaurants for a variety of choices when you choose to not use the most complete kitchen we have found in a vacation rental. We really enjoyed the beautiful pool and terraces and hammock. The house has several large social areas for our group with A/C in every room. There are 2 large TV's in the living room and great room upstairs as well as speakers everywhere to hear you favorite playlist. There is an upstairs bar perfect for hosting your event. Located just 3 lots from the beach path you will find an uninhabited beach with lava pools for snorkeling at high tide. Or walk 3 minutes down the beach and you will find a nice seating area to watch the beautiful sunset with a glass of wine. Casa Orquidea is quite possibly the finest vacation rental we have found and the combination of Casa Orquidea's location, security, and proximity to activities and COSTA RICA will provide long lasting memories of an exceptional vacation.

Beautiful home in the perfect location!
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Casa Orchidea was the perfect choice for our family! It is a very warm and inviting home in a charming and quiet neighborhood with lovely private landscaping for lounging around the pool area. Best of all it is only about a minutes walk to a private beach! The Stay in Tamarindo team were a pleasure to work with from making our reservation through to booking our activities & tours! We would definitely stay here again and recommend it highly to anyone looking for a home away from home! Other perks that we loved: the beach club is stunning, great 18 hole golf course and the Hacienda Pinilla neighborhood is close enough to Tamarindo for easy access to the shops and restaurants but far enough away to really feel like you are on vacation!

Great group getaway locale
Four couples,lifelong friends,had a great short week vacation at Casa Orquidea in the Hacienda Pinilla development in Guanacaste Costa Rica.Luxury describes everything from the stone landscaped driveway to entry to the house(mansion??).The house is beautifully decorated and constructed with gorgeous woodwork throughout.The second floor has a large screen media area,wine bar and a grand piano.There is an extensive sound system that lends itself to dancing!We were all impressed with our bedrooms and baths and loved the way the house opens to the deck and lovely pool.The evening star gazing from this area was only exceeded by the unbelievable sunsets we enjoyed at the ocean beach just a short few minutes walk from the house.Haciend Pinilla has a golf course,beach club(great for lunch and drinks) as well as a riding stable and a wonderful beachfront Marriot resort.There is much to do right at Pinilla and nearby town of Tamarindo but we found it difficult to leave the amenities of our rental house.The housekeeper Maura had coffee and breakfast available as wanted and kept our accommodation spotless.Property management answered all questions and was most helpful in suggesting restaurants and other things to do.As a group we agreed the beaches and other amenities at Hacienda Pinilla will bring us back but only if we stay at Casa Orquidea as it was that impessive.

Best Vacation Ever!!!!
Our family of 8 adults and 3 college age just had one of the best family reunion vacations ever at Casa Orquidea. We have rented big houses in other vacation destinations before but none of them came close to the beauty and comfort of Casa Orquidea. The pictures don't do justice to the feelings you get when you first walk in...everyone was " look at this..." about the many great features of the house from the beautifully decorated large comfortable living spaces and the large bedrooms and bathrooms. The highlite was looking through the beautiful wooden doors out to the large marble tiled deck and Infinity pool. The backyard is beautifully landscaped with rows of palm trees, native shrubbery and flowers for privacy. This was the gathering place most nights after dinner in the pool listening to music and awed by the bright stars and moon. We would start in the upstairs gorgeous entertainment room with high vaulted ceilings that has a wine bar and make our way out to the pool. The Housekeeper, Maura, made our stay even more enjoyable because she took care of cleaning up...no arguments over who would do dishes. Maura had coffee brewed when we got up and made breakfast while we talked about plans for the day...it doesn't get any better than this!!! A few of us would walk down to the beautiful secluded beach near the house and went snorkeling after breakfast.Then most days we would head down to the Beach Club ...a short ride in the golf cart provided with the house. The Beach Club was enjoyed by all because it had everything one would want.....a large pool right in front of the ocean where there was a surf break and surfers rode the waves. It is on one of two beautiful miles long beaches on the property..Avellanas and Langosta. In addition good food and drinks at reasonable prices.We had dinner there on Friday night with a violinist playing beautiful songs to a breathtaking sunset. There are many tours the Property Management team can set up for you. Our favorite was the sunset and snorkel cruise. Costa Rica is a beautiful country. I highly recommend Casa Orchidea...you will never forget your stay!!!
