Casa Blanca

Beautiful house with plenty of room and nice pool and hottub. Newer community so not so many restaurants nearby except at Marriott (which were just ok) but peaceful location and having a housemom to do breakfast was such a treat! Beach club was nice with the kids and Collin was super responsive and helped get us a driver into town one night on super short notice.

Thank you for the nice comments! We're really happy to hear that you had a great time in Hacienda Pinilla and enjoyed the home. It's true, the community could use some more restaurants other than the Beach Club and the Marriott's options. The best places to eat outside of Hacienda Pinilla are the restaurants in the beach town of Avellanas, about 10-15 minutes away. I hope we can host you again in the future! Thanks again for the visit and for the feedback. ??

My family loved stay at Casa Blanca. The manager and staff were amazing. The house was very clean. The only very small issue was getting the hot tub to stay hot. But overall, we loved the property. We will definitely return!

The stay in Panilla was amazing.
We did have some rainy weather but the house, house staff, and property amenities made up for the weather and our group had an amazing time.
Collin and Karla made the stay so great, always responsive, always helpful, and very kind throughout the stay.
Collin, the house manager went above and beyond with his communication and assistance throughout the stay. From helping us find restaurants when we were lost, to being responsive for all transportation help, he assisted with everything we needed and we could not ask for more.
The property is beautiful, the rooms were amazing, and the beds were the comftiest. Our group had an amazing stay. Thank you all!

I hosted a wellness retreat at Casa Blanca House, and the house, staff, and experience were amazing! Our concierge Collin was extremely helpful in giving us local recommendations, booking transportation, helping us book excursions, and day-to-day requests! Our house mom Karla was a sweetheart, made breakfast and snacks, and cleaned for us daily. The neighbourhood was so safe and secure, perfect for a big group of girls! The only complaint would be the slow wifi, but other than that, the house is amazing!

This property was the perfect place for our group of 13 people to stay. The house was stunning and comfortable. Each person was able to have their own space to relax and sleep well to recharge for playing at the pool and trips to the ocean. The house mom was so wonderful in preparing meals, and keeping the house spotless . While staying at the house, Diego was very responsive to any questions that we had and was able to organize excursions for all of us to attend. The house pool area and cabana made the perfect place for our kids and family to have drinks, cook on the patio and play at the pool. There is a lot of construction in the area so at times it could be a bit noisy with the vehicles passing by. We were also a bit sad to see that the club house/restaurant was being remodeled. However, we were able to go over the to Marriott to have dinner, thanks to Diego! The grocery was a bit far from the house, about 30 minutes, but we were able to navigate to get there easily in our rental cars. Transportation to and from the airport was arranged and was extremely easy and coordinated very well. We also were able to reserve rental cars that arrived at our house and were necessary for us to get around to all the local beach areas. There was a little bit of a hiccup with the rental cars, but it was fixed very quickly and cars arrived so that we could leave the next morning to go to the market and get food. All in all, the transportation was great! It was a great trip!

Lovely house!

Me and my family enjoyed our stay! Everything was up to our expectations. The house keeper came in every day to refresh the towels and clean around the house. The house had plenty of space and more for my group of 14. Booking activities through the host was super easy. We also booked a private chef through the host and loved it! 10/10 stay.

Dina - Posted: 7/14/2024

Beautiful home with lots of amenities. We had a group of 14 and there was plenty of elbow room for everyone.
We are already planning a return trip for next year!

I book through airbnb for most trips and this rental falls into the ‘even better than the photos’ category. I love these hidden gems! The home itself was lovely on the inside with plenty of bedrooms and baths. The guesthouse was on par with the mainhouse. The star of the show is the backyard with perfect sized pool (with basketball hoop), heated jacuzzi, covered and uncovered lounge areas and turf areas for playing bags and other outdoor games. We absolutely loved our stay and would recommend to anyone looking to enjoy an upscale experience while exploring the many wonderful things Costa Rica has to offer.

My Godtwins loved their Sweet Sixteen trip to Costa Rica. Thanks for everything

This house was absolutely beautiful. A nice pool and outdoor area. The hosts were friendly and helpful. I would absolutely stay here again.

Casa Blanca is a beautiful home. The photos accurately depict how beautiful the home is. The daily housekeeper was so nice to have. We had a party of 18 and it fit us comfortably. The concierge helped us plan a trip that we will never forget. The beach club is very nice and we found that beach to be the favorite we visited.

Elyse - Posted: 1/6/2024

10/10 recommend. Karla our housekeeper was amazing and super sweet . Dani was very responsive and helpful with any questions I had , as well as sending my group and I activities to do around the area. Gate security was also on point we felt super safe during our stay . I would definitely come back to stay at this property , exactly as described in the listing but better !

The property was beautiful and well equipped. All excursions were booked through Stay Tamarind as well as daily housekeeping. They made the trip completely worry free

Pam - Posted: 12/10/2023

Our family of nine spent a week in Stay Tamarindo's property Casa Blanca in Hacienda Pinella, Tamarindo. Everything about our trip was wonderful. The house met our needs perfectly. Our house mom Karla was there daily to clean and prepare breakfast. She was delightful. Dani and Elsa Vergas, our concierges helped us to plan different experiences and even stepped in to assist us with a couple of unexpected needs. They were efficient, responsive and easy to contact. The excursions they booked for us were top notch. The Hacienda Pinellas community had plenty for us to do. I would highly recommend this property

Pam - Posted: 11/27/2023

Our stay at Casa Blanca was beautiful. From booking our reservations through Jon at stay in Tamarindo to our wonderful concierge Daniel who made reservations for us and suggested terrific places to visit and eat. We had a maid who cooked breakfast for us all week that was included in our stay, and Karla was so nice and a fantastic cook. The house is in a great location and has access to the beach club, which is less than a mile away. The house is beautiful and probably has the most expensive furniture I've ever seen in a vacation rental. This place does not disappoint. There are really excellent restaurants that are a 10-minute drive away. Casa Blanca is a dream home that is high-end and comfortable at the same time. We will be staying her again in the future!

Tom - Posted: 11/13/2023

First off let me say this was one of my
Most amazing trips yet. Daniel our host was very communicative and responsive. The first day we arrived he and the maid meet with us explained everything and he helped set up all our excursions and adventures which made it a lot easier. Daniel recommended a chef his name was chef Luis I HIGHLY recommend him. Not only was his food very delicious he had such an amazing vibe as well. 10/10 experience. If your hesitant to book don’t! You won’t regret it!

Casa espectacular, con todas las comodidades necesarias para pasarla bien en familia. De igual manera el servicio de todo el equipo anfitrión.

We had a phenomenal time at Casa Blanca! We were a party of 11. The grandparents stayed in the guest house which has two bedrooms/one bathroom, small kitchen and living area, so they had complete privacy. Two families stayed in the main house - 2 rooms with cool bunk beds to accommodate 8 kids (we had 5 in total so plenty of room) and 2 bedrooms with king beds. All 4 bedrooms have their own bathroom. The housekeeper came daily from 8am to 4pm; she was very pleasant and helpful. Hacienda Pinilla had activities for everyone, from playing tennis to renting bikes and rising horses, to spending time at the beach Club. There are several restaurant options at night, though we mostly used the BBQ at the house. Special thanks to Mariam @StayInTamarindo for organizing everything for us (we did water rafting, zip lining, took surf lessons, among other activities) and taking care of any needs in the house very promptly (e.g fixing the internet connection in the guest house). Highly recommend this house! Will come back for sure!

Our group of 11 thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Casa Blanca. We took advantage of nearby activities (an 18-hole golf course, a 5-minute walk to the beach, a short drive to the Beach Club or the beach/bars/restaurants of Avellana) and of the easy access to Tamarindo for shopping and even more water-based fun. Our wonderful housekeeper and cook, Alejandra, took excellent care of us during our stay. We were the first renters in this home, so there were a few kinks to work out, but the management team was extremely responsive, easy to work and communicate with and very helpful. They also coordinated excursions, airport transportation and easy delivery/pickup of our rental cars. The kitchen had everything we needed for the dinners we cooked and ate at home. The home comfortably slept all 11 of us; for group dining, we couldn't all sit together at one table, but there was ample seating for dining between seats around the island plus 6 seats around the outside table. The casita is charming and comfortable. It is fully independent with a kitchen, sitting area and laundry. The pool and outside area has a nice variety of seating for sun-lovers and shade-dwellers. 22 thumbs up for our stay at Casa Blanca!
