A True Gem - Absolutely Stunning Viewa
We stayed as a family of 5. The place is immaculate, very clean, and huge. 10/10. Plenty of space to spread out. The view is absolutely stunning and the sunsets are breath taking. We loved eating meals on the large balcony. The place is fully equipped with everything you need. The beds are very comfortable. Easy communication with owner, and Justin, the local property manager, met us for checkin to show us everything and was available for questions and to help set up tours. The building is very secure and the security guards were all very friendly. Nice pool too. We would absolutely stay here again.

Keep looking
I have dreaded to write this review. I may not be of clear mind due to our visit to Tamarindo. This all started months ago when we booked the unit. The host provided tons of information about the unit and the local area. Could not have asked for more on the front end. The host was able to arrange for transportations to and from the airport, for groceries and drinks to be on hand for our arrival and a golf cart. I can not describe just how beautiful this place is and the pictures on line can not give you the sound of the waves and feel of the ocean breeze. If you are not happy with this unit you should probably not visit Tamarindo. We met with Justin on our arrival he showed us everything we needed to know about the unit and left us to enjoy the afternoon.The condo was stocked with everything we needed from laundry detergent to boogie boards to beach towels and chairs to cookware.We were able to arrange for two chef's to prepare meals for us at the unit and dined on the patio with the ocean view. No reservation, waiting or hurry. We did have two issues. First, being a group of six adults we used more ice than the ice maker could produce on a couple of occasions. A text to Justin and we had bags of ice with 15 minutes. Second, having to leave. No one wanted to leave. We all wanted to just stay. Since we could not stay we have already made plans for another visit to Crystal Sands.

Best Choice!
I researched many properties before deciding and it met all of our needs for a family of 4 and more! It's safe -- security upon entering and departing, it's quiet -- an easy, interesting 10-15 minute walk into town where all the action is, and the penthouse itself is far better than the pictures can communicate. Everything was very clean, well-appointed and comfortable. We were able to do our own laundry when needed and cook our own meals when we decided to eat in. (My husband and son went deep sea fishing one day and came back with 4 large tuna so it was great to be able to prepare the fresh fish.) My boys enjoyed surfing most days while my husband and I loved walking along the beach. The top floor view of the ocean from the hot tub is breathtaking, and the sunset and clouds painted a new picture each evening. I personally appreciated hearing the ocean through the night; I truly felt more relaxed than I have in a long time. All services we used were excellent -- the transportation arrived early for our airport pick up and return. Our 8 day stay was more of a luxurious treat than I ever expected.:)

Great property with fantastic views
Our stay at this fantastic penthouse exceeded all expectations. The location is unbeatable—just a short walk toTamarindo, allowing us easy access to all the shops, restaurants, and beaches while still enjoying the tranquility of the area.
The house itself is spacious and beautifully decorated, with all the modern amenities we needed for a comfortable stay. The highlight of our visit was the breathtaking ocean views. Every morning, we enjoyed our coffee on the balcony, taking in the stunning scenery and listening to the sound of the waves. We spent each evening doing the same. The sunsets were spectacular.
I highly recommend this rental.

Amazing Views & Perfect Location
This property is amazing! Very clean and well appointed furnishings. It was more than enough room for our family group of 7 adults and 1 teenager. The views are priceless and it was very close to amazing restaurants and shopping. Willy (the property manager helped us arrange all of our activities as well as transportation to and from the airport which made our stay wonderful. Willy also helped us rent golf carts to get around Tamarindo which were waiting for us when we arrived at the property. We would definitely stay here again.

Amazing penthouse condo on the water
This huge, 2 story condo is truly spectacular. Great, safe area yet we still had gated 24 hour security and they even patrol the rooftop in the evening. We felt totally safe at every turn on this trip. Definitely rent a golf cart as it's much easier to get around town. Garage parking with elevator. Awesome pool, close to everything with a 5 minute golf cart ride...yet far enough away from the action that it was quiet when we returned to the condo. I would rent this place again if we come back.

Stunning rental, unbelievable views! Five stars!
This condo is the best rental my family and I have ever stayed in - it exceeded all of our expectations! The pictures of the view don't give it justice. We travelled with two teenage boys (who are hard to impress) and their jaws dropped when we walked on the porch! The inside of the condo was equally amazing with tons of space, comfy beds, and huge bathrooms. The view from the master shower was worth the price of our stay alone! We could've cooked a whole Thanksgiving meal in the kitchen with all of the equipment. The beach access was unbeatable - at low tide all of the fish and creatures get stuck in the clear tidal pools and we saw so many things. Iguanas walked by us every day! At high tide we sat on the porch and watched the surfers. The property management team including Willy, Justin, and Luis with Tamarindo Sunrise answered all of our questions, booked excursions and handled safe transportation for the entire trip - they were all awesome! The condo was spotlessly clean, so shout out to that team as well. The Playa Langosta location was perfect. We loved being close to Tamarindo, but out of the hustle and bustle of town. We rented a golf cart and zipped around to the restaurants, shops, the grocery store and for people watching. On our rides we saw howler monkeys and birds. I could go on and on - don't hesitate to book a stay in this condo!

This is easily the nicest rental property we have ever stayed in. The place could not have been cleaner or more beautiful and the location is just ideal. The views are stunning. Willy the property manager was super helpful and made the whole trip so incredibly easy. The security and quality level of everything down to the elevator was five stars plus. We have never felt so safe. I never saw a single ant or bug while we were in the condo and if you have ever visited Costa Rica, you know how amazing that is! The place was incredibly well stocked and appointed with all of the basics you don't want to have to buy when on vacation. If I had one minor request it would be for an extra set of towels for the bedrooms. The fact that this is the ONLY suggestion tells you how great our experience was! Thank you for letting us share your beautiful home. It made for a wonderful vacation for our family and friends.

The location of this condo is absolutely ideal, super close to all the activity and buzz in downtown Tamarindo, but also just far enough away to be super quiet.
Communication before, and during the stay was quick and easy, the site concierge staff responded almost immediately to any inquiries.
The condo itself is immaculately clean and has everything you could possibly need.
If I could live my whole entire life with just one view, it would be the one off of this balcony!

This place is under the radar!! The location is suberb, the place is extremely clean and has everything you need (food, drinks, store in walking distance). The views are AMAZING. Quiet area with not a lot of traffic or tourists. If you are looking for the ideal place, look at the photoes and multiply by 10! Our family was in awe. Full time security at building, easy to get in and out and the property manager Willy was just a text message away. I wish I could give this place 6 stars.

Great Stay in Tamarindo
I travelled with 5 kids ages 14-20. We rented 2 golf carts and my 18 year old son drove one and I drove the other. Easy to get around town and made travelling convenient. They had a parking space underground for the carts but you need to get those that are short enough to fit in their covered parking. The condo also provided boogy boards, chairs, umbrellas, etc in a locker which was great. We were able to walk around the point to the main beach area even during high tide via a path on the hill that isn't too bad to see so we could have walked the entire thing each day but golf carts made it more convenient. We had some prearranged tours but cancelled all but one and rebooked from vendors on the beach who did a fairly good job. If you pay with cash there, you usually are able to save some money from taxes. Recommend Buena Vista jungle tour, ez golf cart rental, Ti Marouba catamaran was great. We did fishing w/ Tour Angelica but it was a tight fit for 7 on a 6 person boat so not sure I'd recommend.
Beyond that, condo was very well furnished. Everything we needed for cooking including their grill was there. We bought fresh fish off the beach and cooked it on the grill a couple of nights using their spices and it was a terrific evening of fun. Hot tub being in the main suite means our kids didn't use it much but outside of that, everything was perfect in this condo for a large family & highly recommend.
Concierge Willy and Justin were incredible and took very good care of us.

We had a wonderful stay at the condo. Beautiful views from the balconies. The condo was very spacious and had plenty of space for our families. Willy and Justin were very helpful and responsive to any questions I had. Willy even arranged shuttles to and from the airport and stocked some groceries that I asked for. I would only say if you’re going to have them get groceries know that groceries are expensive and most likely purchased from a small grocery store rather than one of the larger stores a little farther from the condo. For a large party the condo was a great place to enjoy family time with great views and everyone could sit on the balcony at the same time.

Amazing Condo - Inside and Out
Do not hesitate to book this lovely home. It is truly the nicest VRBO we have stayed in to date. The pictures are exactly what you get and the views never get old. When at the condo, we spent most of our time on the balcony. We rushed home most days to catch the sunset. The location was great - close enough to the busy town of Tamarindo (walking distance to everything), but far enough away to escape the crowds that spring break brings. We will definitely be back!
