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.

Nice and Relaxing

This House is must! We stayed here for 3 weeks and enjoyed every minute of it. Lu and Donald were great in getting us anything and everything we asked for. The house is fully equipped, nicely furnished and very comfortable. The pool is nice on those very hot days. The view is stunning and the house is very private. We loved that we had a gate at the entrance of the driveway and always felt safe. We were close to all of the conveniences in Ojochal. Great restaurants, small sodas, and the walks were amazing and filled with wild life. People here are so nice and genuine. We would so do this again, highly recommended!

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!
