Family-friendly vacation rentals in Las Catalinas

This is such an amazing house in the Potrero area. Just a quick drive up the hill from downtown, easy access to restaurants in the beach. The caretakers went above and beyond to make our stay special, and the hosts were really responsive when needed. As other reviewers have said the pictures don’t nearly capture how wonderful the view is from the property. We were surprised by the overall size in space in the house, it was much larger than we anticipated but very nice to have all of the room. I would recommend this property for an upscale getaway to anyone.

This place exceeded my expectations. Pictures don’t do justice. The restaurant at the top is AMAZING. Lizette, the person who received us, is a beautiful person and very knowledgeable. Don’t think twice to book this!!!!

Great location, our only wish is that the property would have an elevator. Everything about this condo was exactly as listed, great private beach to anyone that finds this place.

Super nice stay with amazing amenities available! Great food and coffee options really close by and the town and beach was only about a 15 minute walk down the main road. We also utilized the concierge services for all of our transportation and tourist activities which was super easy and helpful! Would definitely stay again!

Excellent place, quiet, everything is very nice. The hostess is friendly and attentive. A very family friendly place.

Great condo, plenty of space and easy access to the beach via shuttle! Comfy beds and all amenities you need ! I would love to stay again!

Wonderful home with an amazing view. The Garrett Group is more than accommodating and professional!

Spacious and well equipped, the villa is located close to the beach and grocery stores. It was perfect for our family of four for a spring break vacation. Highly recommend!

The villa is beautiful and cozy, it has everything you need for a family stay. The kids loved the place and the pool. It is very quiet and safe, highly recommended. We read reviews from people who said what the place doesn't have, but there are supermarkets around to make up for anything missing.

We loved Drew’s place, everyone was so friendly and helpful, perfect place to bird watch and relax.

Amazing place super close to the beach and great restaurants! It has everything you'll need for a vacation time in Langosta/Tamarindo area.

Great location for a family trip. We loved it, thanks so much!

What a spot for a vacation! The location was prime and the room itself was well suited for everything you need. This is a hidden gem in the area. Things I appreciated the most: The ocean was steps away for a swim at anytime. The shop keepers and restaurant owners downstairs are great people and pleasant to talk to during your stay. Waffle monkey (breakfast) and Portofino are the best spots for breakfast, fresh seafood, low cost happy hours, and fire show at night during sunset. You can literally walk anywhere in minutes. There is 3 separate door with locks to get to your top floor rental so this spot is very safe! If you are lucky, you'll notice a 5 foot iguana that rests in the trees to your right off the porch, spending days in the trees. Alvaro is the mgmt person who helps you. He speaks great English and responds rapidly to questions. Can't wait to return and bring family. The two units next to each other would be an ideal joint rental for a group of 5-7 people. Highly recommend!!!

Nice comfortable and clean place, right in the center of Playa Grande. There's everything in the house for a short and long stay. We recommand.

Awesome place to stay! Beautiful view! A short walk to the beach and some local shops - it is a steep hill, but there are stairs. Staff and other guests were extremely helpful and friendly. There was more than enough room for our family of four. When we needed assistance with an air conditioner, Floribeth was quick to respond, and had a repair person there in no time - problem fixed immediately. We were not planning on returning to Costa Rica, but after our stay, we fell in love with the area and people, and can't wait to return. Floribeth gave us precise directions, found it right away. You will not want to leave here. Thank you Floribeth!!

The condo is exactly as advertised in the pictures and description! You are literally minutes from dozens of restaurants, shopping, and of course the beach/ocean! The owner and local host (Christina) were both extremely responsive and gave great recommendations for everything Tamarindo and other local areas. It was also very nice having a place that was somehow quiet/peaceful at night, yet so close to everything!

This was a fantastic spot! Very spacious, clean and had a lovely pool. A short walk to the beach and a quick walk or drive to excellent restaurants. It was so nice to wake up and listen to the beautiful birds singing. Joshua was an excellent host, very helpful and responsive! Thanks again for a beautiful stay!

Brandon’s place was exceptionally beautiful. Our family really enjoyed our stay. The pool table got a lot of use! The views from the balcony were stunning. I would argue that these were the best sunset views in the entire town! The front balcony offered sunrise views as well! We spent most of our time on the rear balcony, enjoying those views. It was clean, easy self check in and the property manager Allen was very responsive and helpful in setting up excursions! We wished we could have stayed another week! Thank you, Brandon, for sharing your home with us!

The condo is very nice and would recommend staying here. Very close to really nice beach clean and safe. Held seven of us comfortably. Having a kitchen and washer dryer was added bonus.

Beautiful bungalow with a super cool vibe. Location is great (easy walk to the Thursday night market). The pool was refreshing and the hammock relaxing, but our favorite part was our daily visit from Luna, their chocolate lab. We wanted to bring her home with us! One note, if you’re a light sleeper bring ear buds just in case the animals (rooster/monkeys) are active in the am. I will say, the howler monkeys are pretty awesome to watch 😎!

We had a wonderful stay with 8 guests. The house is exactly as it appears in the photos, organized with 3 primary bedrooms around the central pool area. There is a fourth bedroom with 4 bunk beds. All of the bedrooms have their own bath/shower areas. The large living area has a big glass door that slides open to create an indoor/outdoor experience. We loved having breakfast prepared each day. We thought it might not be needed every day. However, after the first day, we decided it was too good to pass up, allowing us to relax every morning around the pool, drinking delicious coffee until the food was prepared. We would also highly recommend having a golf cart. It was delivered prior to our arrival and made trips in and out of town super easy. The location of the house is great. You can access either Playa Longosta or Playa Tamarindo through gates that are short walk from the house. The folks at the front gate to the neighborhood can give you the code. Overall, this is a great house!

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!

Great Airbnb experience, all around. Alvin is a fantastic host -- almost like a concierge. He's super responsive and set us up with great ground transportation -- which took us to some beautiful waterfalls on the way from Arenal and also took us grocery shopping. The property is beautiful and quiet. Quite good snorkeling. Highly recommended.

Absolutely loved our stay at this beautiful home in Tamarindo, Costa Rica! From the moment we arrived, the hospitality was top-notch. Adrianna was incredibly helpful and responsive and always available to answer questions and offer great local recommendations. Hilary, the housekeeper, went above and beyond during our stay. She kept the house spotless and prepared some of the most delicious meals we had on our trip, truly a treat! The house itself was peaceful, well-maintained, and perfectly situated for exploring Tamarindo. We felt relaxed and taken care of throughout our entire stay. Highly recommend this place.
