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.

Great stay

We spent our 2 week Costa Rican vacation here, and loved every minute of it. The place is well located, just a short drive to many beaches, and is very comfortable with a full kitchen, and even a washer/dryer! Pretty much whatever you need to feel like you are at home. Beautiful views, comfortable furnishings, a wonderful balcony, and plenty of space. The owner is very accommodating, quick to respond, and sounds like a nice , and caring person. Thanks Mark, you are a great host. If we are in this area of Costa Rica, we knew where to stay! Diana/Michael

Construction was in progress the entire 3 and 1/2 weeks we were there.

Construction was in progress the entire 3 and 1/2 weeks we were there. The unit next to us was completed replaced from floor to ceiling - the noise was awful. To rent this villa out was disgraceful. The owner had an agent on the property, Jolly Harbour. When we moved in we were not told that the unit adjacent was under construction. We were reassured by the owner and the agent that the remainder of the work would be completed within a few days. 24 days later it is nosier than it was when we moved in. The marble tile cutting, electric sawing was done mostly on the deck that was separated from our unit by a short 5 foot wall that only extended out a few feet. I could go on and on about the lack of privacy and the debris from the work on our deck etc. I only wish that I had a recorder that could be used by the owner when he takes his wife on a special vacation.

Our stay was perfect!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The condo is very roomy and well laid out. We loved the large balcony and really liked having a telescope to view the lovely and lively natural surroundings along with the gorgeous yaught anchored in the bay. The pool has a beautiful view and we ate at the restaurant on location almost every day. There are two of the most beautiful uncrowded beaches I have ever seen a short drive down the road. Mark was very helpful and gave us lots of great information that helped to make our stay special. He was also kind enough to offer an extra days accommodation when we thought me might have to stay longer. Lisa H. - Ridgefield, WA

Can't wait to return!

We absolutely loved staying here for a week. The condo, lodge, pool, and restaurant were so nice to return "home" to after a great day at a local beach or other adventure. Plus, the view, the staff, and the closeness to real Costa Rica were outstanding. This is a great place to stay if you really want to experience Guanacaste beaches, food, culture, and nature.

Could be better

We stayed on Conchal in 2015, and were excited to return to the area. The Condor Lodge condo location is perfect, and Mark helped us discover another quiet, beautiful beach. The condo is well situated with the unquestionably the best view in the area. We enjoyed many mornings and late afternoons on the balcony. The restaurant is good, and convenient at times as alternatives all require a gravel road or 4WD adventure. The condo has all the basics, but lacks in three key areas. The first is cleanliness. The second is the condition of the towels. The third is a finicky hot water system with uneven pressure. All in all, we had a good stay, but it could have been a great stay with more attention to detail including new linens, and a thorough, professional cleaning.

The condo at condor Hights had great views.

First let me start by saying Ruth and I are owners of 7 vacation homes, and pride ourselfs of offering our guest good clean homes and make our check in easy. We arrivals right at 2 PM the time we were emailed that we could check in. When we check in at Condor Heights the man at the reception office had our reservation but didn't know we had paid already and which home we were renting. I had to show him that our payment was made thru VRBO and he was still confused. We knew it was a third floor unit but he told us that all the units on the third floor were rented. So he put us on the second floor in the building next to the office/restaurants That unit was spotless well equipped and clean. We move in with all our belongings and went to lunch. At lunch I sent an email to the owner that we had made the reservation with on VRBO and told him we are not in his Unit and which unit we were in, and then went to the beach for the afternoon. When we returned at 7 PM there was a card in the door and what unit we were to move to and that the owner was waiting for us. When I went there He told me he was there all day waiting for us and that he had sent me the Unit number in an email. I showed him all the mails from VRBO and there was no email telling us where to go when we get to Condor Heights. He was also drinking beer all day as well as when I was talking with hm he left 3 empty beer bottles in the kitchen and towels in the dryer. He told me he live in the unit and when he rents it he moves in with his girlfriend. The condo was not clean as would be typical of the homes in Costa Rica. Also one night doing dishes the water heater pressure relief vale under the counter opened when we informed the owner he said it had happened before didn't seem to care. We have rented In Condor Heights before so we will not be going back to this unit.

Great condo with a wonderful view

We loved Mark's condo. It's outfitted perfectly, it matches the description very well, and the hotel condor that it's a part of is wonderful. We had a great view out to Flamingo bay and Playa Conchal from the balcony. The telescope is a great addition. The condo is very comfortable, and we were able to easily cook meals, relax, and work over the internet there. The hotel restaurant is very good and the staff are very friendly. The wood fired pizza oven is great, the pool is beautiful. The dirts roads into the hotel are typical Costa Rica bumpy but make sure you keep your eyes open for monkeys in the trees, we saw a lot of them. It's a short walk to one beach, on the same bay as Conchal. There is a nice local restaurant there on the beach (cash only) where typical Costa Rica food is served along with smoothies and a bar. Several other excellent beaches are a short drive from the hotel, and then of course you can drive just a bit farther to Playa Flamingo or Playa Tamarindo. It's a great area and we would definitely like to return in the future!
