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!

Outstanding!
We had an outstanding vacation! The road in is a little scary your first trip up and a 4x4 IS A MUST. The house is very private, well stocked, clean, and very comfortable. The pool and views are just the added bonus needed for vacation. We walked through the neighborhood almost daily and we met such nice people. Lu and Donald were available to us throughout our stay and made some great recommendations as to where to eat, where to grocery shop and even scheduled several of our adventures for us. We will be back for sure.

Perfect Start!
My husband and I stayed at this beautiful condo twice during our move to the Southern Zone of Costa Rica. Both times we found the place in perfect condition. Clean and inviting. Always a special touch from Lu ( the property manager). Checking in and out was easy and efficient. The Condo is located on the only golf course in this area. We are not golfers, yet enjoyed walking the grounds. Lots of wildlife, birds and fruit trees. The best part of staying here was the neighbors. The community pool is wonderful and often the gathering spot on warm afternoons. We were invited to join people for dinners ( both in the community and at lots of different restaurants in the area). This location is close to lots of beaches, water activities, waterfalls and best of all the great restaurants. This Condo was a perfect place to start our life in Costa Rica. Thanks Lu for making our transition so easy!

Killer Sunsets!
I had the pleasure of staying at San Buenas for nearly 6 months and I was introduced to Lucretia (Lu) Dawson. Let me first explain that Lu is what I refer to as my "go-to" person. She steered me in the right direction for everything I needed. And, introduced me to as many people as she could. Because, when you stay at San Buenas you are not just another vacationer, you become part of a very friendly gathering of people that I like to refer to as my vacation family. I was new to Costa Rica and by myself. But, not for long because as I just mentioned I was introduced to everyone. You can take Aqua Fit classes twice a week, join a weekly game night, and take part in a beach get-together. Lu made sure I was always included in any upcoming dinners or events. Just ask and she will know where and who to go to. The condos are very clean, comfortable, and beautiful with modern decor, ocean view, and killer sunsets. You are not very far from beaches and local shopping but far enough for that serenity. This will forever be my yearly home away from home. Thank you Lu!!!!
