Casa Navidad

This is a fantastic house on all fronts....a gem in a crown of jewels as the surrounding gated community area is beautiful and safe. Minutes from watching the sunset on the beach after playing pickleball and taking a dip in the pool, this house provides a wonderful relaxing vacation experience. The house is clean and spacious with modern decor which creates an open good feeling from the moment you enter.

Casa Navidad was excellent for our three families! We loved the location in Hacienda Pinilla. A short golf cart ride to the Beach Club. The house itself is stocked with everything you need, from coffee grinder to a pickleball court and paddles. Having Diana and Raquel was incredible. They made sure we had everything we needed. Diana came through for us in the clutch on more than one location when we needed something in a pinch. We would 100% recommend Casa Navidad.

Our group of 8 (family of 6 plus grandparents) had an amazing week at Casa Navidad! We chose it over other similarly priced villas because we all love playing pickleball and it was our chance to have a court to ourselves for the week- but beyond that, it was just a beautiful home with everything we could possibly need. There was never a shortage of towels, linens, etc. The kitchen and dining areas plus the indoor and outdoor spaces are so luxurious and well thought-out. The kids loved playing billiards on the beautiful table. We had so much space to feel comfortable and at home. The villa owner, Jeff, sent us lots of organized information ahead of time and was easily reached when needed. The concierge, Diana, was always eager to help with reservations and information. She shopped for us before we arrived, and booked us surfing lessons, and always asked how else she could help. We also enjoyed the Hacienda Pinilla beach club a couple of days. All in all, it was an awesome week and I highly recommend staying there if you can!

This house is fantastic. We had 4 adult couples staying during our trip and this house was perfect. House/Layout The house is set up for entertainment. The bedrooms are all along one wing of the house with two upstairs and two downstairs. The kitchen, dining room & kitchen are all one open space. This space then has glass doors that open to the patio & pool which help bring the light and outdoor beauty inside. The game room with pool table, bar & large tv is opposite the bedrooms so that those who may want to party a little longer can do so without disturbing those that turn in a little early. Outdoor entertainment The pool is well thought out & had multiple levels. The pickleball court is top notch and the lighting allowed for late night games. Besides the billiard room, there was a great ping pong table in the garage. Large gas grill under the covered patio for cooking out. Beach & Resort One beach is about a 4 minute walk from the house. This beach (Playa Goldinas) is a bit rocky, but great for cooling off, seeing wildlife & catching a beautiful sunset. Saw a few people fishing off shore at this location. Another beach (Playa Longosta) is about a 5 minute drive but was worth the short trip. Traditional sand beach with lounge chairs & a bathroom with shower. The beach club at the JW Marriot resort was also great. The real attraction here is the beachside pool, bar and restaurant for those days when you want someone else to make the drinks/lunch. Appliances/Electronics Didn’t’ come to CR to stay indoors, but sometimes we all need a break from the activities. All the appliances and electronics were premium brands. We are not ‘techies’ but had music playing in all desired locations of the house and had no problems with any of the TVs. The televisions were huge and easy to use. Staff Diana our concierge was wonderful. Gave us a quick tour when we arrived and helped set up sightseeing and transportation. She also had groceries waiting for us when we arrived. Diana also helped arrange two chef prepared dinners, which were fantastic. Additionally, she was quick to respond when we had quick questions about the house, resorts & traveling in Costa Rica. We will definitely come back to Casa Navidad in the future. A great, relaxing experience.

We had an amazing stay in paradise! We would recommend this rental home to anyone. It was beautiful, comfortable for our large group and the amenities were top notch. We’ll be back!

Casa Navidad cannot be fully described with a few brief words. The home and its many amenities make it difficult tk leave. The close proximity to the JW Marriot, the beautiful beach club are just two of the amazing amenities which make the stay so amazing. We enjoyed hours of pickle-ball followed by refreshing dips in the adjacent swimming pool. The media/ game room afforded hours and hours of family fun around the pool table. We took family photos on the beach just a short walk from the house. Diana’s assistance with coordinating everything from excursions to grocery shopping was invaluable and truly made our stay seamless. Thank you for sharing your amazing home with us. We’ve made the most amazing family memories ever. Jon & Heather

We absolutely loved our vacation at Casa Navidad. So many perks! The homeowner was very responsive and helpful. He answered every question so we felt prepared and comfortable before we even arrived. The house manager, Diana, was beyond amazing. She helped plan our excursions and made awesome dinner reservations for us. Diana was very knowledgeable and extremely professional. Then there was the housekeeper Raquel. She made delicious breakfast every morning and tidied up the house each day. So nice to relax on vacation without the hassle of making breakfast and cleaning. The pickleball court and pool table is what sold us on this particular house. My family enjoyed those amenities daily. The decor was beautiful and house extremely clean. We would definitely go back!!

We had an incredible time at Casa Navidad! The home was amazing, the people were incredibly nice and so pleasant to be around, and the beach was so beautiful! Cannot wait to come back again!

We stayed at this beautiful home to celebrate my 40th birthday with friends. Between both families we had 4 adults and 5 kids and the home was more than spacious for our group. When we arrived we were met with the house manager who walked us through the property and was available to us for any help or questions we had throughout our stay. The home is absolutely BEAUTIFUL and a very short walk to the beach. We enjoyed sunsets at the beach every night and spent our days at the club only a mile away. With 5 kids it was so nice to have a pickle ball court, basketball and swimming pool to keep the kids entertained outside. We are going back next year with our extended family and can't wait for them to experience it!

Our family truly enjoyed our stay in this tropical paradise! The home is so well done and maintained. The house had everything we could need and every room was amazing, We enjoyed the spaces and the pool and pickle ball court, The supporting team of Diana and Rafa made it easy for us to order food, find restaurants and arrange activities, Rafa hooked us up with surf lessons, guachapelin tours and a sunset cruise. We even played golf at the local club. Raquel was also so great with morning meals and cleaning up for us. Everything was outstanding! Can’t wait to bring my family back!

Even though I know my review will not do this gorgeous home justice, I will try. The house is absolutely stunning - from the beautiful design to the thoughtful layout to the amenities - it is just perfection. The pool table, private pool and pickle ball court were used everyday, along with our daily sunset walks on the beach right from the backyard! The staff was incredible with homemade salsa and guac upon arrival, amazing breakfasts and making sure our rooms were immaculate each day. Nestled in a cute neighborhood, you have everything you need. The beach club offers a great lunch and bar scene, with access to a nicely equipped gym and meeting space, there is even a local market if you run out of wine! The club offers a gorgeous pool and private beach, with surf rentals and an easy walk to Lolas restaurant. We had the absolute best vacation and hope to return back soon. Thank you for such an amazing stay!! Pura Vida!
