The Vacation MVP We Can’t Live Without!

Lu Dawson is the property manager you didn’t know you needed but absolutely can’t live without. This is our second year staying at this amazing property; Villa Buen Trueno in Costa Rica.

Need a question answered? Lu’s on it faster than you can say “Pura Vida.” Something needs fixing? She’s got it handled before you even realize there’s an issue. Not to mention, she’s so friendly and welcoming that you might just want to invite her to dinner—if she weren’t so busy making sure everything is perfect for your stay.

Her attention to detail is next-level, and she makes you feel like you’re her only guest, even though we’re pretty sure she’s juggling a million things at once. Thanks to her, our vacation was smooth sailing and everything we hoped it would be and more!

We’re already counting down to next year’s stay—because with Lu in charge, it’s not just a vacation; it’s an experience. If she’s managing your rental, congrats, you’ve hit the jackpot!

Very nice

Our vacation started here at San Buenas. It was most relaxing at the large Pool where on any given day at 4ish everyone there gathered for happy hour and discussed their adventures of the day. We were invited to cook outs, dinners out and even played cards a few nights with neighbors. The condo was spacious, fully stocked, clean, comfy, and the views outstanding. The condo came with golf included for free. We played golf almost daily. The course is only a nine hole course, but very challenging. Kenny the greenskeeper made a special deal with us on the cart fees because we stayed a month. The vibe here is totally relaxed and fun. The book provided to us upon check in gave us so much information about the area, where to shop, what adventures were available, phone numbers of places to eat, etc... Lu was great in setting up massages for us, making reservations to eat, and hooking us up with adventures. If you are looking for a place to relax and enjoy, this is it!

Great Location

Probably one of the BEST vacations our group has been on in our last 6 years travelling together. It was a very long travel day for everyone involved. Our group was happy and excited about the house when we checked in. The flowers, fruit, wine, and welcome we received from Lu and Donald made the long day seem to melt away. The house is amazing! Lots of room, great outdoor sitting, wonderful breezes and the pool and the views are stunning. The book at the house with all of the information about everything you could imagine was our nightly read to make plans for the next day. Lu made several of our excursion reservations and even met us one of the days because we got lost. We visited many of the beaches and ate fresh seafood and vegetables daily. Don't miss the Corcavado National Park excursion, you will LOVE IT. I’ll do it again without a doubt.

Safe, beautiful beach.

We had an amazing eight days at this property, and would definitely come back. The unit itself is lacking nothing, clean and very comfortable, beds and all. It was a great location to make day trips. I always felt safe, and the luxury was bonus. We met some great people in the other units and the staff were just lovely and attended to our every need. The coffee, milk, beer and flowers were a great touch! Lucretia communicated effectively and checked in with us while we were there. The food in the area restaurants were great, and the kitchen had everything we needed. We were able to pull ourselves away from the private blue flag beach and do a scuba tour on Cano Island and a jungle tour in Osa/Sierpe. Both amazing. We would definitely return and stay longer.
