Incredible Beachfront at The Palms—Beachside Couples Massage Included!

Hi, we're Mike and Julia, and we're ready to welcome you to The Palms Villa 29. Your stay includes a relaxing couples massage on the beach as our welcome gift! The privately owned and operated villa is meticulously cleaned and sanitized ahead of your arrival, and includes daily cleaning service during your stay. Please check out our reviews for the real scoop on our beautiful home in paradise!
Instead of using a property management company, we rent the villa directly and independently, and do everything from maintenance, deep cleans and even buy the soaps and consumables ourselves. We take immense pride in our home and are proud to offer you incredibly fast replies, helpful advice, and a 5-star experience that never cuts corners. Thanks for your interest and we look forward to answering any questions you may have about our home and your trip to Costa Rica!

The home is two stories with two bedrooms and three full baths, and finished with fine modern furnishings providing luxury and comfort in every room. The villa contains floor to ceiling double panel bi-fold doors which maximize your view of the amazing sunsets from both floors. There is also a quiet second storey balcony at the front of the home. It has two full dining areas, one indoor and one outdoor. Go out the back doors and you are less than fifty steps to the white sandy beach!

Beds & Bedrooms:
Master Suite: 1x King Bed
Guest Suite: Either 2x Twin or 1x King, plus a loft with 1x double.
We also have a brand new Queen sofa bed in the living room with black-out blinds, and a full bath on the main floor.
Due to local bylaws, the unit can sleep up to a maximum of 6 people.
Kids: The Villa offers a pack and play crib with mattress, baby blanket, baby pillows, changing pad and a baby monitor (which reaches the poolside!) We also offer several toys and board games.

The Palms has 24/7 guards, gated privacy and two pools with attractive tropical landscaping throughout the complex. The main 100ft infinity pool is great for little ones, too! There is a fully equipped gym with a beautiful ocean view. The resort offers non-motorized water sports equipment (boogie boards, masks, flippers), and the staff are glad to facilitate anything from catamaran tours to wave runners, babysitting, and more. Hot lunches and dinners is delivered by nearby Coco Loco, with breakfast offered on weekends; and there is an on-site bar serving tropical cocktails in the afternoon and at sunset. Our concierge team can even organize private sunset dinners on the beach!

If you love to cook, you'll enjoy the fully stocked kitchen, Viking appliances, and a common barbecue area that boasts brand new Weber grills with motorized rotisseries!

The villa includes fast 100 mbps wifi, Smart TVs with cable and built-in Netflix, and a free Vonage home phone line. The fees payable via VRBO cover daily cleaning and disinfection, paper products (toilet paper, paper towel and facial tissue) and bath soap/shampoo/conditioner - a true hotel-like experience!

This luxurious beach front Villa is located on the South end of the exclusive Playa Flamingo, and is THE ONLY beach front private villa complex on the gorgeous white sands of Flamingo Beach, Costa Rica's premier beach. Located on Costa Rica's northwest Pacific coast, this villa is just a fifty-five minute drive from Liberia airport, and twenty-five minutes from Tamarindo's airport. The Palms is nestled among multi-million dollar private estates near the end of a secluded cove and is renowned for its soft white sand, and clear warm ocean water. Flamingo is also home to world class sports fishing. Located just offshore, the Catalina Islands offer outstanding scuba diving. Nearby Playa Grande offers some of Costa Rica's best surfing. Beautiful golf courses, a marina, and gourmet restaurants are all conveniently located nearby.

HOT TIPS: Bakery truck comes to The Palms every Tuesday and Friday. Try the banana cake—it's amazing! As for dinner, CocoLoco is 1 min away on the beach and is a MUST. We recommend the sizzling lava rock steak. Mmmmm.

Perfect Beach Getaway

This villa was perfect for two couples. It had everything we needed and the concierge team of The Palms was excellent. They made several reservations for us and checked in to see if we needed anything. All the staff was very attentive. The pool and beach were only steps from the back glass doors. Would definitely rent this villa again if we make it back to Playa Flamingo or the area.

Family Trip

We had a wonderful experience with The Palms. Michael was quick to respond whenever I had a question, and the Welcome Guide that he shared after we booked was extremely helpful. When we arrived, the staff at The Palms welcomed us, gave a brief introduction to the property, answered questions and made us feel welcome. We had ordered some groceries through the concierge ahead of our visit and everything was there for us when we arrived. The unit and the property were both better than the pictures showed. We are a family of four, with 2 adult children and we had plenty of space. The beach was beautiful and though public, never very busy by the property. We also enjoyed relaxing by the pool and drinks from the pool side bar. We were able to walk to a small grocery store and to restaurants with no problem. We would highly recommend staying here and hope to return someday!

The most amazing place!

The Palms is our absolute favorite place to visit in Costa Rica, and Villa 29 is one of the best positioned villas to beach. Mike and Julia were very accommodating and added to our experience. Good luck finding a better beach with the view and privacy of Flamingo.

Loved Playa Flamingo!

First time staying in Playa Flamingo and we truly enjoyed our stay. Walking out on grass right to the beach was great. Having a VRBO house feel but having all the amenities of the pool, water toys, guard, and local restaurant being able to deliver to the villa was a big plus. Great for families and even though you are sharing the grounds it was never crowded.

Playa Flamingo - A Fantastic Family Getaway

My family and I enjoyed a beautiful week-long stay at the Palms Villa 29. The welcoming atmosphere and incredible views were second to none. From waking up to gentle ocean sounds and fresh Costa Rican coffee, to returning each day to a peaceful, climate controlled home, the villa met our needs and surpassed our expectations at every turn. Our time at Playa Flamingo was greatly enhanced by the exceptional staff; each member courteous and collected, while ready at a moment’s notice to improve our stay in any way possible. We’ll certainly be coming here in the near future.

Could not be better

This is the place to stay in Flamingo. Everything is perfect from location to amenities. The property itself is gorgeous and ocean front with a pool and private bar. There is a full kitchen, smart TV, excellent wifi, and helpful concierge. There is daily housekeeping as well. We booked everything through the concierge who is available 24/7 and it could not have been simpler. Whether you're traveling as a couple or a family, this is definitely the spot.

An amazing vacation!

It was even better than the pictures! The place was immaculate and the kitchen was stocked with everything you need. There was four of us and we had plenty of room. The decor is great and modern and the beds were very comfortable. The pool was amazing and the beach was steps away. We got to watch amazing sunsets from the backyard. The gym made you want to workout with the spectacular view. The condo provided kayaks and other water activities, which my son enjoyed. We can’t wait to return.

Wonderful time in Playa Flamingo

We stayed at Palms 29 for 4 days in June. The place is immaculate and had everything we needed. Playa Flamingo is perfect as it has just the right amount of people, restaurants and surf. The walk on the beach is just right and the little grocery store down at the end has everything you might need for a short stay. Charter boats are just down the road in Potrero (we caught Mahi and Snapper and had the concierge send a chef over to prepare everything for us!) and a day trip to Tamarindo is super easy. Hosts are wonderful and we will for sure be back! Pura Vida!

Sunset paradise in Costa Rica

From the moment of booking, throughout our entire stay, communication with Mike and Julia was excellent. Once we arrived at the Palms Villa 29 everything was perfect. We were met by the staff who greeted us and provided 5 star service throughout our stay, with daily housekeeping, concierge service, towel service and grounds keeping. The villa itself was comfortable and beautifully furnished, with everything one could possibly need for an extended stay. The online pictures do not do the villa or the views proper justice. Our party of four absolutely loved our stay and will definitely be back.

Fabulous beachfront luxury villa and property!

We spent 2 weeks in Costa Rica and ended with a full week at The Palms Villa #29. We couldn't have asked for a better place to relax at the beach. The villa itself is so well stocked and comfortably decorated - from the beds to the linens to throw blankets, to fully stocked kitchen. The property staff is top notch. Falling asleep and waking up to the sound of crashing waves was amazing. Mike and Julia are superb with communication and providing tips and details for the perfect stay. Wish we could have stayed longer. Thank you! Karen T

Amazing

Have to start off with the communication prior to the stay - Mike and Julia and then the concierge team at the palms were amazing to deal with. Our first time in Costa Rica so we had lots of questions and they were a pleasure to deal with - super attentive and offered lots of great suggestions on things to do etc. The location, we travel quite a bit and the beach here is one of the best we have ever been on. We swam and lounged every day to what was 10 days of perfect weather. The excursions booked by the concierge team did not disappoint - horseback riding on the beach, deep sea fishing and zip lines - the entire family had an amazing time. The villa was the best part of the trip - steps to the beach - fully appointed with gorgeous views. We wished we could have stayed even one more day Cannot wait to return if we are lucky enough.

Outstanding Beachfront Condo

We planned our first trip to Costa Rica with another couple. Staying at the Palms 29 really made the trip. We stayed a few days on either side of our 6 night stay elsewhere and wish we had been at the Palms 29 the whole time. The view of the beach is even better than the photos. The condo is stocked with all you need, beds are comfortable, furniture beautiful and comfortable, and outdoor area very well maintained. The staff couldn’t be more gracious and accommodating. Owners were gracious and patient with our questions and offered great suggestions. If you want to do excursions book through the concierge they did a great job. We will definitely be back as it was too enjoyable to only do once!

Great Place - Right on the Beach

First family trip to Costa Rica and we wanted to stay at a "nice place on the beach". I did a lot of research and can tell you this is it. This place is literally a 50 foot walk out the patio door to a fabulous very large beach area. Also has a private pool right beside it as well. The best part it wasn't crowded - it felt like you had the place to like to your own with just a few others. The condo itself is very nice and clean and has everything you would want for amenities. It is in a gated community with a large amount of staff, cleaning, and a 24 concierge and you simply message with anything you want--recommendations or restaurant reservations. Staff was great - pastry/bread truck came in one morning! It's part of a larger condo complex and there were many other US/CAD families there vacationing with kids as well. We enjoyed meeting and talking with them. We have traveled a lot as family and we would definitely book this again.

Paradise On the Beachfront

Owners were absolutely outstanding, staff at the Condo were unbelievable and immediate responses to any questions or concerns, concierge assures all details for dinners or transportation are accurate. The condo was impeccable, with thought to every detail, including added amenities and products not listed on the rental agreement. The grounds and beach are the best in Costa Rica boasting clean white sand, lovely lounging chairs with umbrellas, flowers, palm trees, very safe for walking, running, swimming and close to grocery, restaurants, liquor, snacks, marina and activities. Finish the day with outstanding sunsets right from your balcony. There is no question this is a property to return to in the future. Thank you to the owners and staff, sincerely appreciated our perfect vacation. Dr Mark and Karen
