Great location to Langosta Beach and a short drive to the hustle and bustle of Tamarindo. The villa was super clean and had everything we needed. One suggestion is to have beach umbrellas for each of the villas to use. We enjoyed our stay. Thank you so much for having us.

Good location just ten minutes away from the busy area of tamarindo. A mini supermarket made it convenient to get water in case you don't want to drink tap water. Gabriel was really nice. He kept the pool clean and was friendly but stayed out of the way. This villa makes it possible for you to cook your own food instead of eating out constantly. Having two bathrooms was great for our family. Tara kept in contact by using the VRBO messaging and gave us all the details we needed pre and post stay. Overall, I felt safe in the villa. We had the whole pool to ourselves but keep in mind there are other villas that could be occupied if you book at a different time. We booked in the rainy season of August.

Perfect location!

We recently stayed at this VRBO rental and had a fantastic experience, thanks to its unbeatable location and cozy charm. While there were a few minor drawbacks, the overall experience was highly enjoyable.Location:The location is truly exceptional! Situated within walking distance of local shops, restaurants, and the beach, this house made it incredibly easy to explore the area. Whether we wanted to stroll to the beach or grab a acai bowl at a nearby café, everything was just a stone's throw away.Accommodations:The house itself is beautifully designed, with stylish decor and plenty of natural light. It’s clear that a lot of care went into creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. Kitchen:The kitchen was functional but a bit small for our needs. While it had all the basics, the limited counter space made it challenging to cook more elaborate meals. For anyone planning to prepare quick breakfasts or simple dinners, it’s perfect, but foodies or families who enjoy cooking may find it a bit cramped.Pool: The pool area is stunning and Surrounded by lush greenery. The only downside is that the pool area is shared among three rentals on the property, which can accommodate up to 5 guests each. If the other rentals are fully occupied and guests take up all the pool seating, it can be challenging to find a spot to relax. While it wasn’t a major issue for us, it’s something to keep in mind if you’re planning a stay during peak times.We would ABSOLUTELY stay again! Thanks!

Perfect getaway spot

Can’t say enough good things about this place as well the Owner Tara and property manager Gabriel. The place is even nicer than the pictures, pool is fantastic place to stretch and unwind after the beach. It isn’t heat , but I found the temp a perfect brake from the heat. The pool area and outside area the perfect amount of vegetation to give you privacy but not in a claustrophobic way. Also it’s only a short walk to downtown Tamarindo. My 12 year old son and I could do it in 15 mins.There is a great restaurant just 2 blocks away called surf Club also great food and great people. I will definitely be back.

Rainy, but worth the trip!

Fantastic property. A little oasis in Playa Langosta, and would be great to share with another family! No one else staying on the property with us, so we had the place (and pool!) to ourselves. Tara provided some great suggestions for restaurants and day trips. Handyman was there daily to attend to our needs if there were any, otherwise he was mostly out of the way. Highly suggest a golf cart at a minimum if planning to stay here as town is a decent hike.

First visit but not the last!

This was our first time in Costa Rica so obviously first time in Tamarindo. The villa was just lovely. Perfect for us. Exactly as described, perfect location and everything was awesome. Tara is an amazing host and helped us navigate arriving with such patience. The area is not like in the US with street names and numbers so the first time was confusing! But she was excellent and helping us arrive. Great suggestions and guidance on where to go and what to see. We loved every minute and are already planning for next years trip when we will return with our adult kids! Thank you for the wonderful hospitality!!

Sanctuary!

What a wonderful gem in close proximity to the action but far enough away for solitude. The home is well appointed, Tara provides 2 bath towels per room plus beach towels. The beds are super comfortable and the place was immaculate! My kids enjoyed the private pool. Tara is a terrific host who is available anytime. Highly recommend this property.

The review I wish I’d seen before booking

First of all, the property is quite nice. The pool is beautiful and the villa itself is nice. The issues we had were more aimed toward the presence of the owner during our stay than anything else. The check-in process was messy and could have been done with simple and clear directions on where the villa is, where to enter, etc. Instead, the owner insisted on meeting us to check us in. I’ve never had this at any other VRBO/vacation rental so I found it odd. Getting to the property was difficult as the GPS coordinates take you to a different address. We used google earth to find the property using satellite photos of the property when we were unsuccessful reaching the host due to bad weather. It was during check-in that we were informed about the “big fine” for leaving on the AC while away from the condo, but there was a bit of confusion regarding this because we thought she meant when we checked out at the end of our stay, not every time we left the property. This caught us by surprise as it was not highlighted in the listing, which I scoured to find if I had missed that detail when booking. I see it has now been added to the listing information since our stay. There was also an issue of being unable to enter the property because the host had her dog loose in the yard and the dog would not allow us in the gate. Overall we had a nice stay but we wished we would have known how present the owner would be on the property during our stay. It didn’t feel “private” as stated.

Tara’s little oasis is/was amazing. Just what we needed for our 10 day get away. Place was clean, the AC was amazing, walking distance to beach. We rented a golf cart from Pacific Coast rentals and it was the best money we ever spent. I would 100% tell anybody to come stay here. Tara always responded super fast. Will 100% be coming back

Loved Our Stay!

Tara's little compound is beautiful. Two of us stayed in a 2 bedroom as we liked the look of it and were not disappointed. The grounds are nice and each of the 3 units brand new and in beautiful shape. The unit was well appointed with nicer bedding and great bathrooms. The bedroom are nice. The common area was serviceable for sitting or a meal but not sufficiently comfortable for four to enjoy the day at home. The common pool area is very nice and key to cooling off after a morning at the beach. We loved the developing Playa Langosta neighborhood immensely. It's quiet and a nice walk or short drive to town with easy beach access. We felt very safe and we would return again.
