INTIMATE VILLA WITH POOL MINUTES TO TAMARINDO AND 8 UNIQUELY AMAZING BEACHES

Welcome to our Costa Rican Villa retreat. We are located approximately 10 minutes North of Tamarindo which is a bustling surf town, where you and your family can enjoy many beachfront Restaurants, Shops, Spa's and a fun night life. We are a short easy drive or UBER to more than 8 of the best beaches along the "Gold Coast" of Guanacaste. Great for Surfing, Snorkeling, Kayaking, Paddle boarding or just relaxing. We had the fortunate option to purchase anywhere around Tamarindo and chose this area because we love the town of Tamarindo and all of the hustle and bustle but we didn't want to live in the middle of it. We preferred living in a quiet central location with a short and easy drive to all of the amazing beaches and activities. When you stay at our Villa, you will also get Dominic, he can be your personal concierge while in Costa Rica. Dominic speaks several languages and has extensive local contacts for rental cars, Volcano adventures, fishing & Sailing boats, surfing lessons and virtually anything else you need or might want to do. Dominic has saved our guest hundreds of dollars when booking excursions. Our goal is to make this trip as memorable and as safe possible. Perfect for couples, small families or a few close friends. Dipping pool with Ranchetta for additional space to chill. Public transportation directly in front of our villa including UBER now, available should you decide not to rent a vehicle. Proud to be a Premier Partner Host. Our home is strictly non-smoking non-vaping.

Wonderful Vacation !!

We cannot say enough about Casa Castaway!!Alfons was very helpful with his recommendations from grocery shopping to restaurants and all the beautiful beaches that are in the area . The villa is amazing, comfortable and very clean , everything you can think of is there at your disposal. A home away from home .We enjoyed our daily breakfasts on the patio , relaxing by the pool or under the cabana and barbecuing an occasional dinner. The villas location is great, not right in the heart of Tamarindo but close enough and the grocery stores are not far. Domenic is a treat . He has many stories and it was a pleasure to meet him and Maria. Very special people . Pantera visited daily and we looked forward to her welcoming us back each day. Do not hesitate to book Casa Castaway. Our two weeks flew by and we look forward to visiting again some day soon .Thank you for sharing your amazing home . :)

Great spot to stay in CR

Wow, we really felt like we were in the perfect spot—both isolated and connected! Just a quick 15-minute drive from the lively coast, our family had the chance to unwind and enjoy the sounds of monkeys nearby. The house was super cozy and had everything we could possibly need. We’d definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a great getaway!

Amazing stay near Tamarindo

Casa Castaway was a fantastic place to stay in Costa Rica. The pool and patio were inviting. The vibe of the house is a so cool between the surfboard decor and local art. The house is well appointed with everything we needed for our stay. The location is close to many awesome beaches. We’d love to come back again.

The Perfect Home Away From Home

We had a fantastic stay at this lovely property! The location is perfectly located and just a $10-$15 Uber ride to various towns and beautiful beaches. It’s also right next to Guanacaste Children's Community Center, which was a big plus for our young kids! The house itself was wonderful! We particularly enjoyed the outdoor shower and the nice lounge area by the pool, which was ideal for relaxing and catching up on naps. The daily pool service was a great touch, keeping everything clean and inviting. We were delighted by the abundance of wildlife around the property, which added a special charm to our stay. The fully stocked kitchen made it easy to cook meals at home. Multiple surfboards, snorkel sets, and beach necessities made our days at the beach feel like we were locals. The property literally comes with everything you could ever need for a home away from home. Dominic and Maria were such a delight and provided us with plenty of recommendations for local dining and activities. Their hospitality truly enhanced our experience. We felt well taken care of and would recommend this place to anyone looking for a unique, equipped, and convenient rental!

Best VRBO ever

We’ve stayed at a lot of VRBOs in a lot of locations, and Casa Castaway ranks right up there as one of the best! It was so thoughtfully appointed. Tons of towels, plenty of toilet paper and dish soap for the stay. The kitchen has everything you need. Bathrooms even had cotton balls and q-tips. It was like being at home. Board games and card games that they kids enjoyed. We even found some liquid band-aid that probably saved us a trip to the urgent care when a kid cut her foot on some rocks. I even noticed car seats/boosters for young kids. Loved that Dominic was close by for any questions. Panterra was always waiting for us in the evenings when we got home from an excursion. She was the kids’ favorite part of the house, second was the pool! We felt very safe here. Overall can’t say enough about this place. If you’re thinking about it, don’t hesitate, just book it!

Our stay at Casa Castaway was terrific! This house has everything you think you may have left at home and more. We used the kitchen and the grill and spent a lot of time in the pool.

I don’t think we’ve stayed in a property that was better stocked. You don’t need to bring a thing. There’s markets very nearby, and the location is central to almost everything.

This was our first time in Costa Rica, and I can’t say enough good things about this house! Extremely clean and very well-equipped and maintained. The house had everything we needed for our week’s stay with comfortable beds and sofas, the pool was perfect and a nice place to relax. The outside dining area was great, we ate breakfast out there each morning. Dominic was very friendly and was a great host. Pantera, the dog would visit us each morning and each evening to get pets. She also liked hanging out with me while I had my coffee by the pool each morning, The drive to town was not far, about 18 min. We had dinner at a few restaurants in Tamarindo watched the sunset and got to see a fire show We did a couple of excursions while in Costa Rica we did an ATV tour where we saw howler monkeys, we also drove the ATVs to a few other beaches, we made a pitstop at one beach and had the best mojito ever. We also did evening turtle nesting. It was a great experience and we saw quite a few turtles and even one laying her eggs. Overall, we had a great vacation Thank you Dominic and Pantera for making it great.

Wonderful stay

Thanks so much for sharing your lovely home with our group of 6, I felt like I had a true Costa Rican experience and made memories for a lifetime. Much appreciate you calling me personally and sharing all your tips and insight with me to make the most of our trip, that was invaluable. Some of the highlights: arenal Volcano hike, Hanging Bridges, zippling and Sloth Sanctuary in Monteverde, (need weatherproof and change of dry clothes in January, was very rainy) nightime turtle excursion. We were actually able to see a Mama dig a hole and lay eggs. Dinner at Nogui's watching the sunset was pretty spectacular. Would definately recommend a car to get around, driving there really is not as scary as I thought it would be. Biggest bonus to the house was Dominic and Pantera, the house dog , who visited us everyday. Peace, joy, and Pura Vida!-

Amazing experience in CR

Our family had a wonderful time spending a month in Tamarindo. This villa was quite charming and there was plenty of space for my family - it was actually very large! The little neighborhood was very cute and we liked the peace and quiet of the area. We had several questions ahead of our stay and Alfons was excellent and prompt about communication. We were disappointed that the pool was not finished in time for our stay, but we understand that building a pool can be a large undertaking. We did have some concerns about the cleanliness of the property, which we conveyed to the owner and manager. Dominic located a vacuum for us to use, though, so that was quite helpful. Seeing and Listening to all the wonderful birds and even monkeys around the property was very special. The drive to town was not far, but traffic was sometimes a bit crazy so we had to prep ourselves for that. Overall we made lasting memories and will be back to this beautiful country for sure!

Thoughtful hosts during our long stay

As many have already said, this property is special because of the people (and dog). Fonz was very responsive to any requests, and having Dominic onsite made everything easy. We moved to Costa Rica temporarily and stayed at Casa Castaway for 2.5 months so we got to know the house and area well. It's a good location, quiet and outside of Tamarindo, but be aware that you should rent a car to easily get around. The house is thoughtfully equipped and suitable for long-term stays. We will not forget it! (or Dominic, Maria and Panterra) Thank you!

We had an amazing time at Casa Castaway! The airlines lost our luggage so we arrived later than expected and Alfons texted to ensure we were ok. Upon arrival, we were greeted by Dominic and Panterra and quickly settled right in. The house has comfortable beds, AC units in each room, and is fully stocked with bath and beach. The kitchen has everything you need. Really enjoyed getting to see the monkeys each evening. 10/10 recommend if you are planning a trip to Tamarindo. Thanks Alfons for sharing your home.

Wonderful House

The property is as beautiful as the photos suggest. It frankly was much more accommodating than we were expecting. This is our first trip to Costa Rica and we were not sure what to expect. We had a wonderful trip filled with ziplining, scuba diving, snorkeling, and surfing! We found all of these activities were within minutes of Casa Castaway. Both Alfons and Dominic were excellent communicators and let us know exactly what to expect. They gave us great advice on finding the best places to go. We will definitely be back!
