GCS Gold Coast Services
Your Dreams...Our Responsibility
Property Owners
“Laura and Tino are an unbeatable team. I have never heard the words "no" or "can't be done"
from them. They have cared for my properties conscientiously, professionally and in the most
personalized way.”
-- Steven Battle, San Diego, CA
“I've been associated with GCS since they managed the Bahia Pez Vela Resort. They are extremely
conscious and very caring about their guests. I have the highest confidence that they will look after
visitors to Costa Rica on any short or long term rentals.”
-- Alvin Johns, Canada
“I have been dealing with GCS since the company started. Laura and Tino are professionals and
most of all honest. You get what you pay for. My units are kept clean and in operating order. If any
repairs are needed you as the owner are informed and make the final decision. I have heard some
of the rental horror stories. You won't have any horror stories dealing with GCS.”
Respectfully,
-- Tom Palmisano, New Jersey, USA
"Tino and Laura are a pleasure to work with -- warm, prompt, and courteous. They are our eyes
and ears in Costa Rica, keeping us informed regularly through email and photographs. They
handle every aspect of property management and at very reasonable rates. Thank you Gold Coast
Services -- we don't know what we'd do without you!"
Sincerely,
-- Cynthia and David Cowan, USA
"I am very glad we met in March 2007, because since then I've been able to put my mind to rest, as
you have been my "eyes & legs" with regards to the myriad of renovations and guests checking in
and out. I think the true turning point was when you actually changed your holiday dates in order to
accommodate a guest checking into Habitat Magico. To me - that was TRUE dedication and I
sincerely thank you for that. Being a particular person, I feel that our house is well taken care of."
-- Leila Mustonen, Toronto, Canada
"This is a testimonial concerning Laura Oviedo. My name is John Burke and I am a missionary of
Jesus Christ to Coco, from Kyle Texas. There are many out there seeking your business in Coco,
but one stands out. Her name is Laura Oviedo. She has been a consistent and faithful help to me
and the small groups I bring on short term missionary trips. I feel that God is working through her. I
couldn't be happier for her, starting her own business and although there will always be
challenges along the way, her attitude of hard work , honesty and genuine kindness will see her
through. You may contact me at johnnieboy@centurytel.net. Yours in Christ, John"
-- John Burke, Texas
"Thank you so much for making my house look so lovely. I am very lucky that you put such caring
and effort into your work. Many thanks for your efforts - specially today when I truly needed the
help. I let out a cheer when I walked in the door. I can tell you worked very hard and it showed.
Many thanks again, from a very satisfied customer."
-- Sue Valenciano

Cleaning Service
"Thank you for taking so many great pictures of the indoors. Everything looked so sunny, bright
and sparkling. The floral centerpiece is wow! Now if the house will always look like this when
renters arrive (and when we arrive) - that will be awesome!!! Thank you again for indulging me.
Now I feel so wistful and wish it was me coming over sooner. I love the small touches that the maid
did with the towels, toilet paper and kleenex. Feels very hotel like. Please tell her great job."
-- Leila Mustonen, Toronto, Canada
