We traveled to Playa Flamingo with our extended family which included 5 children ages 15-8yo. Casa Pelicano was a perfect rental accommodation for our party of 10. You will feel blown away by this house! It was gorgeous, impeccable, spacious. But you will never get over the view! Then on top of it all it comes with the service of Maximiliano as the property manager, and Reynoldo as the (garage apt live-in) house manager.
Max helped us to rent golf carts which are needed to reach most restaurants, beaches, stores. He also provided vendor recommendations for our excursions. And we tried many of the restaurant recs from him as well.
Reynoldo is a hard working and calming presence as he maintains the property, most of the time without you realizing he’s been there. During his day off, we felt lost without him!
If you have never been to CR, then you should know how joyful the Costa Ricans are. What we liked about this area, Playa Flamingo, is that you are not on a resort, where you never see much of the country. Playa Flamingo is like a lazy surf town, that seems like a secret destination that most tourists aren’t aware of. And from there we were able to reach other areas- Playa Brasilito (Don’t miss Patagonia Del Mar), Potrero, etc.
We truly hope to return to CR, and specifically Casa Pelicano again soon. We are just getting to know the area, and there’s so much more to explore.
