David Etheridge
I've called Playas del Coco home for over 22 years. This place isn't just where I work, it's where I live, raised my roots, and got to know the market the way only a local can.
I bring that ground-level knowledge to every conversation.

What Our Clients Say!
A very quiet and beautiful place… my family and I had a great time, we are very happy, without words. Lin is an excellent person and very kind and respectful, no complaints, he was always attentive to us and resolved things for us immediately. We can truly say that Lin is the best host we've had on all our trips. So LIN, you really are the best, and we sincerely mean it. Thank you very much for your attention. God bless you always, we will definitely go back to that place.

10/10 Experience!
¡10/10 Experience! Everything was perfect since our arrival. The condo is brand new, modern, spotlessly clean, and very comfortable.
We especially want to highlight Lin's service, which was outstanding at all times. She was always available, very friendly, attentive, and made sure our stay was as comfortable as possible.
We will definitely come back soon.

Amazing Hosts!
Lin is an amazing host. We have been to many Airbnbs, and she is by far the best host we've had. We own some rental properties, and we are picky.
Lin helped us find a golf cart, go to great restaurants, and plan day tours. She also was willing to help communicate with service providers who didn't speak English (which is way beyond my expectations). Truthfully, she exceeded all of my expectations. We planned our trip at the last minute, and all of the golf cart rental places were booked.
The property itself was clean, spacious and the pictures are accurate. The view was amazing. If you are a deep sleeper you might miss the 5:30 a.m. call of the howling monkeys (it isn't that loud, but very cool).
