Solar Hot tub, Walk to Beach, Daily Housekeeping Included

Welcome to Casa Timlin — A Private Retreat in Playas del Coco

Discover a one-of-a-kind luxury escape that blends breathtaking ocean views, curated design, and warm Costa Rican hospitality. Casa Timlin isn’t just a vacation rental, it’s a sanctuary where style meets comfort and unforgettable memories are made.

The Experience
Wake up to the sounds of nature. Spend your days lounging in the ocean-view hammock, sipping cocktails in the solar-heated hot tub, or dining outdoors on the terrace as the sky fills with vibrant sunset colors. Casa Timlin was created for guests to slow down, reconnect, and experience the very best of Costa Rica.

Expertly Hosted
With over 18 years of experience in the Costa Rica luxury vacation market, Casa Timlin is owner-operated and maintained to the highest standards. From arrival to departure, every detail is designed with care, comfort, and elevated service in mind.

Daily Housekeeping and Local Cuisine
Your dedicated caretaker, Reyna, is a warm and essential part of the Casa Timlin experience. She ensures the home is consistently fresh and immaculate throughout your stay (excluding Sundays). Reyna tends to every room, making sure beds are perfectly made, linens are crisp, and common areas remain spotless so you can sit back, relax, and enjoy everything this amazing country has to offer.

She is also available to prepare delicious local-style breakfasts, lunches, and snacks upon request (with food provided by guests). For a small fee, Reyna can also prepare and serve a local dinner, best enjoyed on the patio overlooking the Pacific Ocean.

Architectural Elegance
The home features an open indoor-outdoor layout, soaring 15-foot ceilings, and private bedroom wings that offer both comfort and privacy. Much of the furniture is handcrafted from locally sourced exotic hardwoods, blending contemporary design with a distinct Costa Rican charm.

Eco-Conscious Living
Casa Timlin is partially powered by solar energy and includes a solar-heated hot tub, offering high-end comfort with thoughtful environmental consideration.

Prime Location
Just 800 meters from Coco Beach, the home is also just a short walk to some of the area’s best restaurants, including Mar Azul, Pacifico Beach Club, and Café de Playa. It’s close enough for convenience, yet private enough to relax in peaceful seclusion.

Concierge Services
Our concierge, Ian, is available seven days a week to help plan your perfect stay. Whether you’re looking for private chefs, in-home massages, adventure tours, wildlife excursions, or translation assistance, Ian brings years of local experience to make it happen seamlessly.

Entertainment and Comfort
Casa Timlin is equipped with Starlink internet, multi-room Sonos audio, blackout curtains, premium linens and bedding, and a full-service kitchen. Each bedroom includes TVs with US channels and sports. Pool and beach gear is also provided, including chairs, coolers, umbrellas, boogie boards, and floaties.

Real Photos, Real Experience
All photos (except three sunset shots) were taken in September 2023. Casa Timlin hosted its first guests in December 2023—what you see is exactly what you’ll get and more.

Casa Timlin is more than a place to stay, it’s a home away from home where lifelong memories are made and the Pura Vida lifestyle comes to life. We look forward to welcoming you.

Pura Vida,

Amazing views, wonderful house, great location

We'd stay here again for sure. The house is great. New, modern, spacious. The pool and hot tub were very nice with breathtaking views from them and the entire front of the house. Short walk downhill to the beach, although parking at the beach was also very easy.

Totally Spoiled!

First, the house was amazing!!! It sits up on a hill for amazing views/sunsets but is close enough to the beach and town to walk each day. Yes, there is a "slight hill" but it was great for walking off the food. Everything you can imagine is provided from soap, hair dryer, to pool toys and beach chairs. We watched the sunset in the evening and listened to howler monkeys in the morning. Reyna made sure everything was immaculate and each day we returned from our activities, the house was freshly cleaned (We felt guilty). Ian put up with our procrastination and set up our tours after we arrived and managed to book us on everything we wanted. Can't imagine staying anywhere else after this house. Thank you so much for everything!

Much better than described!

Stayed here 4 nights with our family. All I can say is WOW. First the owner, Tim, welcomed us to the house. He spent about 20 minutes talking about some of the details and what to expect. Super nice guy and I wish all property managers / owners were like him. I messaged him a few times during our stay and he responded within seconds. Second, the house. It is the only one I have stayed at where the online pictures do not do it justice. This place has EVERYTHING you will need, and then some. The kitchen has all the spices, oils and whatever else that you will need. The furniture is extremely high end and fits the house perfectly. We had zero issues while we were there. The house comes with all of the beach accessories you will need. Third and most important, the crown jewel of this house is Reyna. She is the housekeeper and will cook for you if you want. She was there every morning with a smile on her face. Her English is not great, but we had no problems communicating through google translate. We asked her to cook dinner for us one evening and it was by far, the best meal we had in CR. She is what made our trip one of the best we have taken. The location of the house is great. It is on a steep hill so I would highly recommend a car. It is a one minute drive to the beach and 4-5 minutes to the main street where most of the restaurants, grocery stores and shops are located.

Wonderful! Amazing home and location

Casa Timlin exceeded our expectations! Beautiful home and setting with gorgeous sunsets. Local restaurants were great but we enjoyed eating dinner at the home as much. Reyna is a wonderful cook and was so relaxing to enjoy the pool, views and veranda in the evening. Tim was great with the preparation and check-in process, making travel so easy and enjoyable. Our kids, aged 11-17, loved the house and area as well. We highly recommend!Lots to do in this area. We enjoyed Playa de Coco as well as Playa Hermosa, only a 10 minute drive. Both had great ocean waves and boogie boarding for hours! Diamonte adventure park was really fun as well as sailboat/snorkel/island bbq excursion through Don Bosco tours.We enjoyed surfing, rainforest, volcano, hanging bridges prior to staying at Casa Timlin, and would be worth looking into day trips and/or combining with another overnight, as all were really fun.

Immaculate Stay with perfect views

This house is probably better than the pictures...at least in 2024. If you prefer ocean views over a beachfront stay, this is an exquisite property. I would give it a 6 star rating on property due to the attention to detail of every single little thing about the house. Everything is there...there's nothing that hasn't been thought of...and it is arranged as if it were the Four Seasons Resort. The beach is 1/2 mile walk down the hill...and it is brown sand...hence the name Cocoa Beach. The owner was very congenial, and his housekeeper was an amazing young lady with a huge smile and vibrant personality.

Wow!! 5 stars plus

I've been traveling with my family to Costa Rica for 14 years, staying mainly in the Playa del Coco, Ocotal and Hermosa Beach area. There have been some amazing homes but always something not quite perfect. Casa Timlin did not disappoint!! This house went above our expectations. The communications with Tim from pre-arrival to departure and during our stay, he was available. The house has every amenity you might need. A special treat is Reyna, she takes care of the house and the guests. My sister was in hospitality business for 35 years and has huge expectations especially for cleanliness, Reyna gets 5 stars. Her sweet plantains won the best in Coco award from all of us. We spent our days between the jacuzzi, pool and covered porch. Evenings watching movies on the large tv with great selections for all ages. We wish Tim a huge success with Casa Timlin, just hope he will have room for us when we return.

Magical property and amazing views

We had an incredible week stay at Tim's house. It was a great base to explore the beaches on the north western coast and was a five minute drive to markets for anything you need in Coco, restaurants and the beach. It is stocked with all the supplies you would require for cooking and grilling, which we did every day. It was nice so exceptional that we decided it was better just to hang out, cook, enjoy the sunsets, and swim again and again. You won't want to leave these magical views and gorgeous house!

One of our BEST experiences renting a home. Tim was great from our initial messages when booking to our final checkout. We felt very welcomed and appreciated all he did for our family. Arriving late he thought to buy us items for breakfast and some local CR coffee. Reyna welcomed us each day with a bright smile and kept everything spotless. The house is amazing! The view from the infinity pool and patio kept us occupied for hours. We enjoyed sunsets each night from the hot tub or hammock. We loved the Coco area. Great restaurants and welcoming people.
