About this property

Casa Malibu - Paradise on Earth with Ocean Views by Playa Conchal

Casa Malibu’s condo is situated on a hillside looking out over Flamingo Bay and Playa Conchal. This stunning top floor (3rd floor - end unlit) condo has breathtaking views from both large balconies (accessible from the master bedroom and living room). The ocean views and nature views surrounding the condo are fantastic.
The unit consists of 1200 Sq. feet with an open air modern feel.
2 bedroom, 2 bathroom with fully equipped kitchen with all the utensils, microwave, coffee maker, high powered blender, Whirlpool washer/dryer, Whirlpool dishwasher, central air conditioning, ceiling fans, wi-fi access, 2 large flat screen TV’s with multi channels, movie channels, books, games and DVD’s.
Sleeps up to 4 people.

You can relax on the full length balcony that includes 2 leather backed rocking chairs, hammock, outdoor recliner, french bistro table with 2 swivel chairs and a high powered telescope (view nature, the ocean and islands along with boats and ships from the Flamingo Marina up close).

*Very nice on-site restaurant and pool - only 60 yards away from the condo.
*Daily restaurant food and drink specials with happy hour 4:30 - 6:30 daily and also a game/ pool room. Occasionally you'll find some very good Saturday live entertainment there!

The location of this condo is perfect. There are many great beaches nearby to explore that are not crowded. The view from the condo is beautiful, and waking up to the birds and howler monkeys is amazing!

Located between the busy surf town of Tamarindo and the upcoming marina in Flamingo, the condo is located in one of the most beautiful areas of Costa Rica!

The unit is located just a short walk away from Playa Conchal (just voted the best beach in the world in July 2022 by Big 7 Travel in its annual publication of ’The 50 Best Beaches in the World’). And just a short drive away, you’ll find two other gems like Playa Minas and Bahia de los Piratas.

Also a covered outdoor BBQ area for your use between the 2 condo buildings.

Great vacation
Just spent 5 days at this condo and had a great stay. The rooms were well sized, great access to playa Conchal, Tamarindo and other great beaches. The restaurant at condor was not very good. Food was over-priced and didn’t compare to food in Tamarindo. Still had a terrific stay and would stay here again in a heartbeat. Pura Vida!

Centralized to beaches in the area.
We loved our stay here. Hopefully we are able to return there with my whole family. It was perfect weather at the end of August.

Good value, great beach access
Overall, very enjoyable visit, and would consider staying at Condor Lodge property again. Mark (owner) met with us during our first hours to welcome us to the property and offered advice on beach access and routes. Very pleasant and responsive to questions had prior to the visit. Here are pros and cons for future visitors to help make an informed decision: Pros: Unit as described; I felt beach access was terrific (either a ten minute walk down a "private" gravel road, or a two minute car drive (will need to pay $4 to park at the beach)); restaurant on-site was good and fairly priced; pool area was good (but I wasn't comfortable staying there as there was a significant bee hive in the ground of the pool peninsula...didn't get stung, but hundreds of bees flew past us while we were sitting there. If we had kids, we wouldn't have let them play anywhere close to that); unit/complex was quiet; good view of the ocean/hills (but if you want a sunset view, I don't think you'll get it (certainly not in April); Mark has items for your use (beach towels/chairs, snorkel gear, coolers, kayak, surf board)...those are all great touches; good wi-fi, but hopefully you're not using it much. Possible cons (not much for us, but for some I'm sure): Rough ride in on gravel road (about 10-12 minutes your first trip in, then we got it down to about six once we were comfortable with where we were going); unit is a little dated, but still in good condition; a $100 investment into new towels could go a long way; the bees at the pool as noted above; if you're in poor physical health, maybe not the best unit (3rd level) and beach access you'd need a car for sure; if you're expecting on-site security or gated access, don't expect it. We never saw a guard, and while there was a gate, it was always in the up positition. That being said, we always felt safe/secure. Overall, a very good experience. If you're looking for high-end, maybe not the unit for you. We're always grateful for our yearly visit to Costa Rica, and this experience/rental was supportive of that notion. Thank you Mark for allowing us to rent your condo and for being a responsive host.

Our first visit
Everything was great, landlord came over and welcomed us once we arrived. Went to Adventure Park for a day. zip line, rafting, horseback riding, and hot springs.Went to 4 different beaches. A bad 4 1/2 kilometer gravel and rocky road from main artery every day in and out. Restaurant and food was great. Had a flat tire and maintenance man changed tire for me. Made back to Alamo and they repaired tire.

About the host

Hosted by Mark Noel

Host profile image
We have spent a large amount of of my time in the last 15 years living in this part of Costa Rica and have decided to travel more so I have decided to rent my Costa Rica condo out again for longer term discounted rental rates of 14 days or more. Pura Vida!

Why they chose this property

We still find this part of Costa Rica to be our favorite. Close enough to the fun areas but far enough away to enjoy the quiet and gentle sounds of nature.
The unit is located just a short walk away from Puerto Viejo or also called South Playa Conchal (just voted the best beach in the world in July 2022 by Big 7 Travel in its annual publication of ’The 50 Best Beaches in the World’). And just a short drive away, you’ll find two other gems like Playa Minas and Bahia de los Piratas.
It is close to some great golf courses and close to some more of the best beaches in all of Costa Rica.
There are 9 National Parks just a 1 to 3 hour (scenic drive) away - including the famous Arenal volcano. Horse back riding, canopy tour and ATV tours.
