Dream Vacation

Hello Team Vida Pinilla, Thank you for making our stay easy and smooth. The house was amazing. Janet the housekeeper is such an asset to the home and really has such an eye for detail. The only thing that did not work in the home during our stay was the Hot Tub. As for things that could use improvement there was really only one thing, the pool deck (dangerously slippery) even for adults.

Everything about our stay at Casa Ola Aolha was outstanding!! The home was gorgeous, clean, and comfortable. The communication from Vida Pinilla made everything easy for our stay. We did the grocery pre-stock and breakfast service which was a great touch to maximize our stay. The Hacienda Pinilla Beach Club was easily accessible and we enjoyed the combination of beach and pool time. When looking for a place to visit we needed a safe property that runners could get their miles in and this was all of that with the many miles of trails and paths within secure gates. All of the recommendations from concierge for transportation, surf lessons, golf cart, etc were super easy. We can't wait to come back!! Pura Vida!

Incredible Stay at Casa Ola Aloha

My family and friends and I cannot say enough good things about our stay at Casa Ola Aloha. The home is beautiful (even better than shown in pictures) and had anything you could have ever wanted or needed (example, on the outside patio they had a whole separate silverware and pool cup selection, games and toys and books for kids, etc). The proximity to the beach, beach club, and JW was awesome and allowed us to split our time between the pool and other areas, and it was quiet and serene anywhere we went. 10/10 will stay out of here again.

Wonderful House

The house was wonderful and exactly as pictured. My kids loved to come back to the warm pool after a long day at the beach. We loved the shade in the back of the house in the afternoons to get a break from the sun but still enjoy the outdoors. The beach that's within walking distance to the house is great for walking on and exploring tide pools. We however spent most of our time at Playa Avellanas as it was better for swimming and surfing.

Exceptional Stay at Casa Ola Aloha

We had an exceptional stay at Casa Ola Aloha in Costa Rica. Our group of eight had more than enough space, and the home could easily accommodate an even larger group comfortably. The pool and hot tub were a standout—truly a highlight of the stay. The location was ideal, and the overall setting made it easy to fully relax and enjoy time together. Bonus: you are truly a two min walk to the beach. The housekeeper was incredibly kind and a wonderful cook taking care of breakfast every day, which added a special layer to the experience. The home felt clean, comfortable and well cared for. What really set this stay apart was the management through Vida Pinilla. Their responsiveness and attention to detail were extraordinary. We mentioned that the motion-activated lights were being triggered at night by nearby trees, and by the next morning, they had already sent someone out to fix it. It was clear that no detail was too small or too big. For any family or group looking for a relaxing, well-managed getaway, I would highly recommend Casa Ola Aloha and the Vida Pinilla team.

We have rented many homes over the years and this is definitely one of our favourites! Super well equipped kitchen, luxurious bedding & amenities, spotless & all around comfortable! Walking to sunsets on the beach is a wonderful perk! We hope to be back next year! Pura Vida!

Superb experience at Casa Ola Aloha!

We enjoyed everyday of our stay! Great house with most every amenity you could want for a family. The location is perfect… in a gated community with nice neighbors and proximity to a private beach. The house came with spices and seasonings, so don’t buy those at the store. The communication was up to par and their advice was always spot on. Know there is a garage that is full of the owner’s toys/gear, and is tight, so don’t plan on using the garage for your car. We weren’t too bothered by it, even though we used the garage for our main access to the house.

Best short term stay ever!

Casa Ola Aloha is absolutely phenomenal! The home is so beautiful and perfectly designed, it was ideal for our party of 3 couples and 2 kids. It was extremely well appointed, every single thing we looked for we were able to find! Jeanette our housekeeper was so kind and helpful and also provided some good advice and recommendations. The beach is a very short walk and at low tide forms small pools that were perfect for a quick dip. The pool was amazing and came with lots of fun toys for the kids. We did go to the beach club but almost immediately wished we were back at our private oasis. There were also many creatures, birds, monkeys, raccoons and crabs. There is also a stable and a private beach accessible which we really enjoyed. All in all this was an incredible vacation, made perfect by this amazing casa! Mucho gusto!
