Modern Loft w/ private pool in Tamarindo #3
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The neighborhood was quiet and peaceful. It is a hike if you’re walking so be sure to bring comfortable shoes.

Tiny Home in Tamarindo Center
What a AMAZING stay!!! The place was perfect, modern, very clean and we loved the standing desk, the bathroom & how comfortable the bed was!! Such a perfect little space for 1 or two people wanting to be just a 10 minute walk into town. Such a great place for the price & excited to come back one day!

Luxury villa few minutes away from Tamarindo
We had an unforgettable stay at this stunning Airbnb in Tamarindo! From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by how beautiful and well-kept the space was. The home was not only spotless and comfortable, but thoughtfully designed with a warm, welcoming vibe that made it feel like a true tropical escape. Every detail — from the cozy furnishings to the serene outdoor area — was exactly as pictured, if not better. What really set this place apart, though, was the host’s exceptional responsiveness. Anytime we had a question or request, they replied almost instantly and went above and beyond to make sure we were taken care of. Their attentiveness made everything so smooth and hassle-free, which allowed us to just relax and enjoy our time. Whether you’re looking for a peaceful getaway or a base to explore Tamarindo, this Airbnb is a perfect choice. We’ll absolutely be booking again — and we couldn’t recommend it more!

Spectacular Ocean View Nest in Tamarindo
If you are looking for a unique and memorable place to stay in Tamarindo, this is it. The place was as beautiful as the photos show and we were smitten by Lola the parrot at our door each morning. We really appreciated having cleaners come to tidy up while we left each day - not something you typically get with an Airbnb rental. The beds were very comfortable and everything we needed was provided. We would definitely stay here again if we make it back to this part of Costa Rica in the future.

Open-air living @ Treehouse Hideaway Tamarindo
This place was beautiful. Semi private there is two homes right next to it. You could hear people’s conversation how ever the back yard is private. The location is one mile from tamarindo which we loved the town is pretty and lots of food options. The pool was amazing . One thing that made us nervous was the main bedroom has windows that are up above the bed and in the bathroom they are up by the ceiling. You can see in these windows from the driveway and there is no way to cover them . The neighbor was walking around the driveway while I was in the shower and my husband did not like that. We had no issues but definitely took from our experience. The sheets had a few stains and so did the towels. I felt that the bathrooms could have been cleaned a bit better considering the high price tag. Over all we enjoyed our stay.

Casa Vista Mar
We can’t say enough wonderful things about the house and our stay! The house itself is identical to the photos— the view even more spectacular. It’s very well equipped, clean, and comfortable. Both the freezer and the AC were extremely efficient, the beds are firm and comfortable, and having a washer and dryer (and outdoor shower!) came in very handy. Francisco was helpful and responsive when we had questions and we would absolutely stay here again. Not having a 4X4 vehicle is not an option and will make your Costa Rica stay better across the board. Can’t wait to return!

Just Classy Beach Condo "Casa Gecko"
Great location, responsive hosts and perfect home away from home. Easy to explore the local area, while still be close by.

5 min walk to the beach ~ Bo Jungle Tamarindo #3
Beautiful, clean and safe place to stay. There is a cleaning service coming into the apartment during the stay. The apartment is spacious with beautiful furniture. Spotless kitchen with everything you need to cook your own meals. Cozy bedroom and nice bathroom and shower. The balcony was a big plus, with nice views. The pool is beautiful and gets cleaned daily! The area is quiet and there is a bit of a walk into town and all the restaurants (15-20 minutes). There are also a lot of electric scooters around, by scooter it’s only 5 min into town. There is a beach nearby but we preferred the beach closer to Tamarindo (beach access across the street from Pandeli Tamarindo, which is also a great place for breakfast!). We loved our stay and would come back!
