Villas Flamingo

Directions
Our condo is Villas Flamingo #14. You can search for ‘Villas Flamingo Costa Rica’ on Waze or Google Maps, and that should get you to the front of our building (most of Costa Rica does not use street addresses). We are directly across from ‘The Palms Private Residences.’

Parking
Park on the street near the stairs in front of Villas Flamingo, across from ‘The Palms Residences’. It’s very safe and easy to come and go with your vehicle.

The condo cools down quickly, so we kindly ask that you help us use the AC thoughtfully. There are three AC units: one downstairs and one in each bedroom. Each unit has its own remote for adjusting the mode and temperature.

A setting around 75°F / 24°C is usually a comfortable cooler temperature, but feel free to adjust as needed while you are home. When you are out, please set the AC to a higher temperature or turn it off.

The mode button toggles the snowflake cooling icon, and the auto fan setting usually works best. Please do not run the AC for long periods with doors or windows open. This makes the units less effective and can cause water to drip from condensation. It also lets mosquitoes inside!

Beautiful Playa Flamingo is about a two-minute walk from the condo. You may see beach vendors offering canopy and chair rentals, but we’ve stocked the condo with plenty of beach gear for you to enjoy.

• Beach gear includes:
• Sand-free microfiber beach towels
• Foldable beach chairs
• Neso sun shade
• Insulated cooler
• Yeti can koozies
• JBL Bluetooth speakers
• Masks and snorkels
• Board games and other extras

Please do not bring bath towels to the beach. They hold a lot of sand and take much longer to dry. The sand-free beach towels are made for beach days and dry much faster.

Return all beach gear in good condition so future guests can enjoy it too. Bonus good travel karma for sand-free returns.

TV STREAMING
There is one TV in the downstairs living room and one TV in each upstairs bedroom. Each TV has an Amazon Fire TV Stick with access to our guest Netflix account.

The Amazon remote controls the main TV functions. You are also welcome to sign in to your own streaming services during your stay, but please remember to sign out before checkout.

MUSIC
There is a Sonos speaker in the living room connected to our Spotify account and controlled through the Sonos app.

We also provide a JBL Bluetooth speaker in the beach gear basket. If you prefer something simple, this can pair directly with your phone and is great for beach days, cooking, or relaxing at the condo.

LAUNDRY
The washer and dryer are located outside the back kitchen door. They operate like most standard machines, but the controls are in Spanish.

Google Translate has a helpful live translate feature if needed. We provide detergent pods for a few loads of laundry, and more can be purchased at the nearby local market.

TRASH & RECYCLE
Trash and recycling bins are located in the back parking area of the complex. From the condo, exit the back door, turn right, and walk down to the staircase that leads to the parking area. The trash and recycling bins are located at the top of the stairs.

Please make sure kitchen trash is taken out before checkout to help prevent pests.

PRE-DEPARTURE
All we ask is that the home is left in a respectful condition. Before heading out, please clean up any food or cooking mess, place all trash in the appropriate bins, and take the kitchen trash to the bins in the back parking area. This helps prevent pests and allows our cleaning team to reset our home properly. If there are any accidental damages or maintenance issues during your stay, please let us know prior to departure so we can address them promptly.

ENTRY KEY
Please return the key to the lockbox when you check out so you can re-enter easily if you forget something. If there’s any issue with the lockbox, you may leave the key on the counter and send us a quick message to let us know. We also appreciate a short message once you’ve departed the unit.

GIVING BACK
We’ll be planting a tree for each night of your stay through our partnership with the non-profit, One Tree Planted. A small act, but it’s just one of the ways we give back to the place we love.

APPRECIATION
Our cleaners work hard to keep the home in great shape. If you have a few colones left when you depart, a small tip is always appreciated.

Our main local market in Playa Flamingo. It has everything you’ll need, including many American food brands.
