Great place to relax
They stay was as expected, nice, clean, great location. The beach club just changed their policy to 5 entry for adults (and it doesn't count towards food). The pool needs a little bit of freshening up and tile repair but is in pretty goood shape regardless. The hot tub needs to be fixed as well (currently it doesn't get hot but stays pool temp) but it's still a nice place to sit and relax in warm water.

We loved staying at Casa Sundog!
This house looks exactly like the pictures - such a great vacation home, especially with the indoor-outdoor open-plan space. Leandra the housekeeper was wonderful. She also doubled as a breakfast chef, which was amazing. Tati, Joel, and Mergie, were all very responsive to our inquires and questions. We definitely would recommend renting a car if you want to explore the area in and around Tamarindo though, as transport can be quite expensive and also challenging on short notice. Highly recommend the private chefs, but especially Garrett. We were so impressed with every single thing we ate (which ended up being three dinners.) Also recommend dinner at Lola's for a sunset, such a cool spot. Can't go wrong with Casa Sundog - top notch and very secure and safe.

Great House for Large Groups
We loved everything about this house! The kitchen was fully stocked for cooking and making large dinners, the game room perfect, and the pool was hit with the kiddos- it was raining the entire time we were there so I didn’t spend much time in the pool but it was gorgeous. The hot tub was cool but when I reached out to the management team they had someone there in a matter of minutes to fix it. The management team was amazing and we absolutely love Leandra!!! We will definitely be coming back to this house in the next year or two!

Perfect family vacation!
Casa Sundog Villa is a perfect home for a family gathering. It offers several places to gather as a group or escape for some down time. Our house keeper Leandra was a delight! She came every morning and was available to cook breakfast and kept the place immaculate. We enjoyed time by the pool, visiting the Beach Club and exploring the three beaches within Hacienda Pinilla. Our favorite beach was the very private Playa Langosta! Staying within Hacienda Pinilla offers something for all members of your party including golf, horseback riding, mountain biking, tennis and pickleball. We hope to visit again!

Excellent Vacation Rental
Casa Sundog was a great place to spend a week celebrating a birthday with extended family.
The house was just as shown in the photos and the outdoor living was really enjoyable. The daily housekeeper, Layandra, was amazing and a magician in the kitchen. She turned out a wonderful breakfast with very few groceries each day as we struggled with what to buy! One thing to note is that it took approximately 30 minutes to get into Tamarindo by car. I didn’t realize it was so far when booking. If being where eve action is located, you might look for another property. This development is beautiful with nice amenities but a distance from restaurants, shopping, and grocery stores.

Awesome and relaxing Xmas
We had a great stay at Casa Sundog, with 13 people for part of our stay (three families of four and one grandparent), and then 9 people through the remainder of the stay. The house is spacious and everyone enjoyed the pool and jacuzzi, and the fact that kids and/or sports fans can head into the game room area for TV viewing and ping pong leaving the main area for relaxation and discussion.
Hacienda Pinilla is well-located near some nice beaches, a number of nearby restaurants outside the gated Hacienda Pinilla property, and the Marriott Beach club is also great. Try Lola's, Taco Taco, and Il Rustico for some nearby restaurants, and plan for a chill day beachside or relaxing under the palms at Lola's.
The Vida Pinilla team (property manager) do a great job and they are very responsive to questions and requests. We had a few minor issues/questions related to the house, and they sent people over immediately to check/fix things.
Heading into the vacation, we really didn't think we needed the housekeeper each morning (she comes from 8-12), but in fact it was great having her to cook breakfast, prepare coffee, do dishes, help with laundry etc. We were totally spoiled by her.
The kitchen and dining area are spacious and the kitchen is well-equipped. We prepared several meals and all the cooks in the family were happy with the wide variety of kitchenware, etc.
You can't go wrong with Casa Sundog and the Vida Pinilla team. Pura Vida!

Casa Sundog for the win!
We rented for a week with four couples for our first visit to Costa Rica. Hacienda Pinilla property with amenities was perfect for everything we wanted during the week. House was perfect and the housekeeper who was there daily was so great to us! Beach club, golf, horseback riding and mountain bikes were right there and Longcosta beach was beautiful for relaxing. We rented a car from the location at the Marriott right down the road which was really convenient also. Quick 20 minutes into Tamrindo and approximately 90 mins to/from Liberia airport so everything was very close. Will definitely book again!

Casa Sundog is the best
Our group of 4 families loved Casa Sundog inside and out. The rooms had comfortable beds and good air conditioning. The bedding and towels were clean and of high quality. There were ample pool towels for everyday swimming. The washer and dryer were in good working order. The kitchen, living room, play room and pool deck provided plenty of space for all of us to hang out, play cards, and dine.
The house manager was in the house everyday 8 am to noon to clean and keep everything in order. The property managers were very responsive. We communicated via the message board on the VRBO app and email before arriving and WhatsApp during our stay. All the recommendations by the property manager worked out perfectly - car rental, chef, and yoga instructor.
Thank you Casa Sundog for helping make our vacation the perfect vacation!

Peaceful Paradise - Perfect for all ages
Our stay at Casa Sundog was more perfect than we could have anticipated. Upon arrival, we were all shocked by how beautiful the home and property was. The pictures online do not do it justice. There was plenty of space for our group of 12 to spread out and have privacy, along with the common areas to relax, eat and enjoy. The bunk room and rec room were perfect for the four kids staying - ages 3, 7, 10 and 11. I will point out there there are only showers in this house, no bathtub. It wasn't a problem for us at all, but I could see how this might be helpful if you have younger kids. The rest of the rooms were wonderful too. Beds were a little hard, especially in the room closest to the bunk room, but thankfully we all crashed hard at the end of the day where nobody had trouble sleeping.
The only hiccup we had the entire time was communication with management for transportation. They were super attentive and nice, but communication was regularly crossed between dealing with two different people, texting, and using WhatsApp. It got confusing at times. You can't just order an Uber last minute to go shopping, etc. so research what you want to do and plan ahead if possible. And absolutely get a golf cart for your stay to explore and get to the beach club.
Overall, everyone left saying it was "the best vacation ever". We'd happily stay here again. Management, housekeeping, and the people of Costa Rica were all incredible. Pura Vida. We can't wait to come back.

Awesome Experience in Costa Rica
We loved staying at the house. Joel and Mergie helped us arrange all our food , transportation, and activities during the stay. The woman - I believe leandra - they have that comes to the house to clean and cook breakfast was amazing. We used Pura Vida catering for 2 dinners and we loved it! Awesome meals. We used ITACA for breakfast - would use Leandra instead or Pura Vida again. We used Manta Ray sailing and did the sunset cruise - had fun snorkeling and paddle boarding. Enjoyed Hacienda Pinilla beach club. Had great massages at the house two days. We went to Lolas - next time we will skip that as it is far on the golf carts and very bumpy. Renting golf carts is a must - we loved driving around and looking at wildlife. We just wished there was one more full length mirror in the upstairs bathroom or one of the bedrooms as we had 5 girls getting ready that wanted to look at outfits. Definitely will rebook and comeback. This place was incredible. Also, we went to Patagonia for dinner - Mergie and Joel arranged our taxi - and the food was so good then we we went to Chiquita cocktail bar after. BEST VRBO we have ever rented and in an awesome area. Thank you for an amazing stay!
