The Best Vacation Rental in Playa Flamingo

Updated October 2026

We use affiliate links to support our travels. We also run Colibri Hospitality, a small rental and tours company in Playa Flamingo, so some recommendations are our own. How we recommend things

Welcome 👋

We’re so excited to share our two vacation rentals in Playa Flamingo. We call them Flamingo Dream and Ballena Vida, and they are what started our Costa Rica travel blog. I began writing guides for our renters about the best restaurants, day trips, and our complete packing list. Then, people started asking me to give advice on their entire itineraries. Now here we are with Ultimate Pura Vida.

We’ve taken our hospitality experience from owning and operating one of the most loved places in California (actually #1 in California according to TripAdvisor), and created the perfect home-away-from-home for our guests in Costa Rica. As Superhosts on Airbnb with over 2000 5-star reviews, we strive to ensure every stay is nothing short of exceptional. Below are some details about the most fun vacation rentals in Playa Flamingo. Let’s go!

The space

Both units are a 2-bedroom, 3-full-bathroom condo that comfortably sleeps up to 4 guests. The rental location is ideal at just a short two-minute walk from one of the most picturesque stretches of beach in the country. With its pristine waters and soft, golden sands, you’ll quickly understand why this beach has earned a spot on most visitors’ bucket lists.

Inside the condos, you’ll be greeted by a thoughtfully designed living space, complete with modern amenities and stylish furnishings. Our goal is to create a welcoming atmosphere where you can unwind after a day of exploring the wonders of Playa Flamingo and the surrounding area.

Convenience is key when it comes to a relaxing vacation, which is why our rentals are stocked with a variety of beach equipment. You’ll find our favorite towels, Yeti coolers, speakers, and umbrellas available. Really, everything you’ll need for the perfect beach day without the hassle of bringing your own or renting. Don’t forget to pack some reef-safe sunscreen like this because some items can be much more expensive there.
