Vacation rentals in Guanacaste Province

As a group travelling to Tamarindo for the first time with small children, it was reassuring stay at a property that was private and had security. We have yet to feel unsafe in Costa Rica, but it was still a nice touch. If you've been to private communities in Florida, it had a similar feel. You can walk to the town or beach within ten minutes. It is unfinished roads etc so you may want to drive if it's more suitable for your party. The layout of the property is well thought out with almost all rooms leading to the backyard pool or patio. This property had one of the better pools during our trip - it's massive and clean. I would recommend this property to everyone visiting Tamarindo, but specially families.

This was a wonderful place to stay. It had all we needed and loved the pool and barbecue area as well. Jorge and his family made us feel welcome and even took us to the store when we got there. He surprised us with fresh watermelon, coconuts and honeycomb! There is much to do in the area such as swimming, hiking the volcano area, horseback riding, zip lining and resting in the natural hot springs. We had a wonderful time and plan to come back. Thank you.

We had a great time in Samara! The book of local recommendations was such a nice touch - we loved visiting several of the beaches, restaurants, and stores. It was also lovely having the pool at the house to help with the hot temperatures!

First of all, my family and I want to thank Don Santiago for his welcome and kindness. We also want to say that we loved the place, the rooms were super comfortable, the place was super quiet, the pool was clean and its location is great. Very happy and very grateful. Hope to comeback soon

We had an absolutely fantastic time at Arbel’s house in Tamarindo! The property was stunning—clean, spacious, and beautifully designed with all the amenities we needed for a perfect vacation. The pool was a highlight, and the location was ideal, just a quick drive to the beach, restaurants, and shops. Arbel was an exceptional host, going above and beyond to make our stay memorable. Communication was prompt and friendly, making us feel truly welcomed. We’d highly recommend Arbel’s place to anyone visiting Tamarindo and can’t wait to return

Jessica was super responsive! like 10m from the best beaches in the zone!

Our family of 6 (4 adults and 2 kids) really enjoyed our stay! The house itself was very nice (white noise might be needed because of the roosters). The easy accessibility to the beach when we wanted to go there while also having an amazing pool and covered patio to relax throughout the day was perfect for what we were looking for. We enjoyed the quiet and local feel of Brasilito Beach. The campground is right there, like others have mentioned, but it was never an issue at all. We walked to Playa Conchal (liked our beach better) and checked out Playa Flamingo for a sunset one night. Vidal lives on property and was always a friendly face. Overall, it was a wonderful stay!

This apartment is a slice of heaven, the view is spectacular, the kitchen has everything you need, it’s the perfect place to chill. Tanya and Rod are the best hosts, the amenities are great. The only thing is that you need a 4x4, the dirt roads are really in a bad shape and if you use them every day your car will suffer.

My family enjoyed 11 nights at John’s place. The house was more spacious than expected. All amenities needed were available. We felt safe at the house and surrounding area. The pool was wonderful and we enjoyed it daily. There is a grocery store and 5 restaurants very close by. Tamarindo is about a 15 min walk. We did not have a car. You can rent golf carts if needed. Beaches - Playa Langosta is a very short walk 5 min and you can walk to Tamarindo beach in about 15 min. Tamarindo is busier, it was nice to stay in a quieter area. Howler monkeys were seen morning and night right on the roof of the house and trees in the yard. We also saw iguanas and variegated squirrels in the yards along with a number of birds. Cleaning service was included in the stay the lovely lady came a number of times while we were there. John was easy to communicate with and responded quickly to my many questions prior and during our stay. We would stay again at John’s villa.

We loved staying in Casa Natural. it was quiet and biking distance to Playa Conchal which we loved as well. There are good restaurants nearby - Anders, New Shogun were both excellent. Also recommend El Castillo de Lilo in Potrero which has an amazing sunset dinner and experience.

Dean was very helpful in terms of check in and any needs we had during the stay. His place was beautiful in a very quiet, private community just a few steps to the beach. The view from the porch was amazing! Highly recommend Deans home.

Jake’s place was great ! Comfortable beds and beach was literally right outside the back slider. Location was close enough to Tamarindo yet far enough away to be peaceful away from the hustle.

We loved our stay at the Beach House! Absolutely amazing location at the beachfront, empty beach, nice garden area and cute house. Note regarding insects: We did get visited by a lot of bugs in the house (especially ants) but when we sealed the front door were to able to limit the number.

The perfect spot in Tamarindo. We absolutely loved the space! We cooked breakfast each morning and had fantastic sleeps with the quiet neighborhood, comfortable beds and AC. The pool is fantastic and we really appreciated the short walk to the beach and town area. Having a quiet oasis to escape to was perfect and we cannot recommend this place enough. We’d would absolutely stay here again!

Had a wonderful experience Staying at The Beach house. pretty much you have your own private beach!Sabine and Nico are great hosts. A true tropical Costa Rica experience.

The host were great. We were greated upon arrival for help with our luggage. Jorje helped us get events and travel arrangements set up. We were later treated by Dennis and looked forward to seeing him daily on his walks. The true GEM of the entire stay was Harold. He was so kind and willing to help with any and everything. We looked forward to seeing him daily and were sad to have to leave. The property was beautiful, the sunsets were amazing, and the company was a blessing.

An excellent place to enjoy Guanacaste, the apartment is super well equipped and located, comfortable bed, and air conditioning to rest. Alexandra is an excellent host! Nice to meet you

Beautiful spot close to the city!

This home is in a beautiful complex of villa types and hotel suites. The area provides access to pool areas, activities in the complex ad is very close to high quality restaurants and the beach. The house itself is designed and maintained beautifully, had all the appliances that we needed and enough space for a family with kids to stay out of each other's way, if needed :). The hosts had a lot of games and interesting books that we all enjoyed in the evenings. We received excellent recommendations and instructions from the host. This is a great place to have an airbnb with near-resort facilities.

This location has a private beach and is walking distance to restraunts, marina, and Playa Flamingo. We wish it had a pool. AC and WiFi were good.

This was a great place where we felt so lucky to have landed! The Villas are off the beaten path but still so close to everything in Samara town. We were thankful to be able to walk to and from the beach without having to spend much time on the busy town roads. The property is wonderfully maintained with beautiful landscaping. Our rental was furthest from the road and wonderfully private and quiet. We were delighted to be treated to so much space both inside and out. It included a large private covered patio with comfy furniture and a large dining table. Inside, the beds were all comfortable, the shower had plenty of pressure and warm water, the kitchen had everything we needed to prepare and clean up meals and there were 3 AC units that made our stay there totally comfortable.

Wonderful home, perfect location and great host! Thanks Nick for a fantastic stay. We will be back.

We had a fantastic stay! The house was very comfortable and spacious for our group of 11. The pool and outdoor lounge area were perfect for relaxing, and the location was great—close to restaurants, with one beach within walking distance and others just a short drive away. The gated property and alarm system made us feel very safe. Highly recommend for a fun and stress-free getaway!

Al's villa is one of the best places we've ever stayed as a family. You are just steps from a beautiful beach and can hear the waves throughout day and night, while being inside a very modern, clean, and functional space. A 1-2 minute stroll takes you to the BPV restaurant and pools, which our kids absolutely loved. Kitchen highly functional with all the Tupperware and dishes one could ever need, all rooms comfortable and have AC when needed, and the villa just has a wonderful feel that makes you not want to leave. Our daughter keeps saying she wants "to go back to #11"! (as do we)
