Clean modern lines and tropically inspired indoor-outdoor spaces have created a private oasis with the cooling pool the centerpiece of this experience.

*** Please note that we want all of our guests to enjoy their stay at Casa KOA. This home is located in a private, gated community with mainly full-time residents and families. There is a VERY STRICT no-noise policy outside between 10p-6a. This is not the house to host a party or event. This home is great for groups of adults and families who respect the neighbors and rules of the community. If you plan to bring a big group to have a party, or large event, or make excessive noise, please reserve another property as the noise will not be tolerated and you will be asked to leave without a refund.***

HACIENDA PINILLA BEACH CLUB The Hacienda Pinilla Beach Club sits right on the shores of Playa Avellanas, With an infinity-edge pool looking over the famous surf break of Little Hawaii. The Beach Club has something for everyone whether it's cocktails and or fruit smoothies from the poolside Tiki Bar, kicking back in the poolside sunbeds, surfing one of the world-class breaks of Playa Avellanas, working out in ocean view fitness center or relaxing with a massage in the wellness center, its the ultimate beach day!
As our guest, entry into the beach club is $10 per person which is then used as credit at the beach club bar and restaurant (only paid once per day and for ages 12+)

Please note that The Beach Club is closed for yearly maintenance during the month of October.
BEACHES With 3 miles of coastline within the 4500-acre ranch, there is always a corner, tidepool, or world-class wave to be found.

Playa Bonita home of the JW Marriott is a great area to comb the beach for washed ashore treasures and explore tide pools at the low tide.

To the north, Playa Langosta is a world-class surfing, beach, and river fishing.

We believe Langosta to be the hidden gem of Hacienda Pinilla, the shaded palapas are a great spot for a secluded beach day!

Playa Avellanas, home to the Hacienda Pinilla Beach club and 6 World-class surf breaks including private access to famous Little Hawaii as well as the Estero, dead tree, and Lolas. This stretch has great surf year-round!

JW MARRIOTT HOTEL Hacienda Pinilla is home to the JW Marriott hotel, as a guest of the Ficus villas you have access to the numerous restaurants on offer. You can also purchase a day pass for use of the hotel's pool which is the largest throughout Central America. The day pass gives you access to all of the hotel grounds and amenities.

GOLF COURSE 18 hole par 72 beachfront golf course ( the beachfront hole has an awesome sunset view on a secluded beach if you have a golf cart this is a must-see)

TENNIS COURTS 3 hard court tennis courts with an onsite instructor. private, semi-private, and or group lessons are available. Kids camps and pickleball events are regular activities.

HORSE STABLES The best way to explore the 4500 ranch is by horseback. Tours are available at any time and can be customized to fit your group's needs, with rides from 30 mins to 2 hrs take you through the forest and out along the secluded beaches all here within the ranch.

MOUNTAIN BIKE TRAILS With over 45 kilometers of trails throughout the ranch, forest, and coastline, Hacienda Pinilla is a great location for mountain biking. With natural scenic routes and rigorous trails for every type of bike rider, Hacienda Pinilla offers up adventure, challenge, and enjoyment for families, first-timers, experts, and everyone in between.

SURFING Hacienda Pinilla has to be one of the best locations in Costa Rica to base your surf trip. With 6 waves just on Playa Avellanas and private access to the beach breaks of Playa Langosta, you don't even need to leave the ranch, but if you looking to explore the area, the famous Playa Negra reef breaks are just 10 minutes south and the river mouth and beach breaks of Tamarindo just 10 minutes to the north.
Situated within a 4500-acre private reserve on the ' gold coast ' of Guanacaste, adventure and relaxation are at your doorstep.
A world-class beach club, spa, and wellness center overlook the white sand and world-class surf breaks of Playa Avellanas.
20 miles of trails run through the ranch and along ridgelines of empty beaches, and an 18 hole golf course with memorable oceanfront 15th hole is right here within the property.
What better way to experience Costa Rica than this, enjoying luxurious amenities, surfing, exploring and adventuring the natural landscape then retreating to a state of the art modern beach house!
Clean modern lines and tropically inspired indoor-outdoor spaces have created a private oasis with the cooling pool the centerpiece of this experience.

Absolutely amazing. Very clean, modern and private. Plenty of room for our party of 8 (we didn’t even use one room!). Very responsive to any questions and gave great recommendations. Housekeeping was amazing and breakfast was great. Only downfall is distance! Which is the theme in tamarindo- it takes about 15 minutes to get out of the neighborhood alone. Definitely get a car. We didn’t really use the golf cart as everything was too far so would skip that. Beach club was closed and Marriot charges $150/pp so just used the beach there for free instead. Would definitely stay here again! Tropical getaway!

Perfect in every way!
Casa Koa was absolutely amazing! Our family of 9 (6 adults and 3 children) had an incredible time at the property. This house has all the amenities you could ever need and from the moment you walk in you are in awe as it is just absolutely breathtaking. The management company was extremely helpful with recommendations and easy to communicate with. We ended up having Chef Garrett cook a meal at the house one night and that was so worth it. We did the horseback riding tour around parts of the Hacienda Pinilla property and that was really cool going to a more isolated beach which we later accessed in our car. Some of our family also did mountain biking around the property and they really enjoyed that as well. I recommend renting a car to get around the large property as well as to go out. I would definitely recommend this property if staying in the Guanacaste area!

Hacienda Pinilla Perfect
The house was beautiful. Having the housekeeper there for four hours each day made for a very relaxing time for me. Who usually has to do everything for everyone lol the beach was convenient On the premises. Getting into Tamarindo takes about 25 minutes and The roads have big potholes. We did rent a large van and did purchase the roadside assistance with it and we did need it because we did get a flat tire which was fixed within hours so just some good advice. We would go back in a heartbeat. Our house were very accessible and did everything to make our stay as pleasant as possible.

Best experience EVER!
We have stayed in numerous STR's around the World. This one is the BEST we have EVER experienced, by far! Home exceeded our expectations set by online listing. Yuli, our personal Housekeeper, was fantastic. Very Friendly. She cooked our Family an amazing breakfast every morning and then immediately thoroughly clean the home. Property contacts, Mergie and Joel, were readily available for any questions we had. Communicated well and prompt on every question. We really enjoyed all the amenities offered in the community (Hacienda Pinilla), especially the Beach Club and beaches. Very convenient easy to experience many of the activities in Guanacaste region. We highly recommend Casa KOA to anyone desiring an incredible vacation. We hope to visit again soon and will definitely share with Friends.

Couples Group Trip
Casa Koa exceeded our expectations. The pictures don't do it justice. The property is well maintained. The breakfast was tasty. The communication with the host was great. We were a group of 10 and had more than enough space for everyone. The suggestions the host provided were excellent, especially the private caterer. We had Chef Gaston cook for us 2 nights, 1 seafood night and 1 Argentinean BBQ night, both were great! We highly recommend! Looking forward to our next visit.

The Sanctuary was a beautiful home and a perfect set up for our family. Each of the kids had their own space and enjoyed all the wonderful amenities.

Gorgeous home! Housekeeper and Joel the manager were great!
We had a wonderful time and would return. The location, layout, overall accommodations were great and we would definitely return! Since this is a brand new property - a few minor suggestions. Either open the owners closet or add a dresser to the other primary bedroom. Also, a couple extra lawn chairs on property and a few beach chairs and umbrellas on hand for use would have been great!
