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!

Nice and relaxing
We stayed at Villa Victoria from the 16th to the 30th of January 2019. The road (about 3 km) to get there is rather unpleasant. By cons, on arrival a jewelry awaits you! The house, in addition to being beautiful, is very well equipped and very comfortable. Located on the heights, it offers a real intimacy and a beautiful view of the environment: mountains, ocean, vegetation. The pool is most enjoyable. Lucretia has always responded very quickly to our requests. We would be happy to return anytime.

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!!!!

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.
