AMAZING rental
The house was absolute perfection with views that simply cannot be topped! The pictures on the listing do not even capture how beautful! The travel coordinator, Cris, was so helpful in booking activities and answering any and all of our questions along the way. Wendy kept the house in pristine condition while we were out enjoying beaches and activities. Cannot say enough good things!

AMAZING 100%
This house was 100% accurate in the description, but it was even better than we imagined. The view was so much better than having a beach front property. Wendy (housekeeper) was the best she cooked us breakfast every day and cleaned up and made sure when we came home after being out every single thing was in order. Laundry was done even though we told her not to worry about it. Location was perfect for us as we rented a van for our week long stay it was just 3 minute drive to grocery stores or restaurants and bars and beach. Out of 20+ vacation rentals over the past few years this was by far the best house we have ever rented for our group of 8 (4 couples)

OMG! Tamarindo Perfection!!
This property is even better than anticipated. It was a beautiful, high end villa with the most incredible views you have ever seen. The community was gated so you felt super safe and extremely close to beaches, shopping, great restaurants, etc. The concierge service was so helpful - very responsive, had great recommendations, helped us set up excursions, etc. The home also had daily housekeeping included and she would help prepare breakfast, snacks, do some laundry, etc. I cannot say enough good things about this home and our experience there. Honestly one of our best VRBO experiences EVER and we cannot wait to go back. This home was absolute PERFECTION!

Awesome View
The house was modern and clean and looked as in the pics. The kitchen and living room opening to the pool area was a great feature and provided unbelievable views and lots of fun at the pool area. We did have a large number of ants invade the master bedroom on the second floor due to the rain, but we used the extra bedroom available to our group. The gated community offered a feeling of security where it is a only a 5 minute drive into the bars, beach and grocery in Tamarindo. It is a very steep road to the house and walking to the beach/Tamarindo would be difficult. The breakfasts made by our housekeeper were delish, and the concierge service was best in class! (Thank you Cristina). We had a great time and would stay here again.

Unforgettable experience!
The house was incredible. Picture perfect sunsets and sunrises each day. The home was in immaculate condition. Wendy, our housekeeper, made the place look better than the Four Seasons every day, and was a great breakfast chef. Cris, our concierge, was excellent in communication and made sure all of our transportation and events were on point. Pool and backyard are great too. Would 1000% stay here again. Thank you!

Magnificent
Eventually, with everyone singing “heck no we won’t go” I managed to convince my family that we needed to check-out. The hardest thing to do - because we had a truly magnificent time. The house is perfect - great space great location. The town is friendly and real. The team at Vrbo superb, especially our concierge Cris who was ever helpful and always available. Just a special special stay.

Great Tamarindo house with amazing views
Wonderful home with sweeping views across Playa Grande and the Tamarindo River and surrounding mountains. Great for our family of 4 because the house isn't huge but comfortable. Super convenient to town although you need your own car to go up a steep hill. Property Manager was responsive when we had an AC problem. Exceeded our expectations. The house was the highlight of the stay in the area.
