Elegant two-story villa, Casa Fandango, Playa Tamarindo and Play Langosta

Casa Fandango (CB3) is one of 5 units located inside the Casa Blanca Association. This quiet, secure home is only a short walk from Playas Tamarindo and Langosta. 1800 square feet of space includes 3 bedrooms, 2 1/2 baths, and a well appointed kitchen with gas stove. The charming decor features rustic spanish colonial furniture, Costa Rican artifacts, and original artwork.

Casa Fandango is the is the ideal location for the Tamarindo area, just across the street from a tree lined beach access walkway that can be a haven for Howler monkeys.

The Tamarindo Bay is one of the best in the Guanacaste area, safe for even the youngest swimmers and great for surfing at high tide. Shade trees are abundant and our end of the beach is quiet - tranquil! Take your pick for a short walk to happening Tamarindo for restaurants and shopping, or to Langosta for nature.

Our pool is deep, (8 ft), and therefore cooler water awaits you at all ties to bring relaxation and respite after a long walk on the beach or sunbathing. Note, our pool is shared with the other 4 units in our association, but the pool is centered in front of Fandango and the majority of the time is very quiet.

Enjoy hanging out with a cocktail at the pool cabana, or barbecuing dinner on the grill.

Great Option in Tamarindo/Playa Langosta

This is a very good location. it is directly across the street from an entrance to the quiet side of the tamarindo beach and is a short walk up the hill to get to playa langosta beach. There is a surf school that meets right at the tamarindo entrance. It's easy to walk to restaurants on the tamarindo strip or to Langosta for dinner. The condo is one of four free-standing units, each with gated parking. The complex has a shared pool that is large enough to actually use and enjoy The unit is large, has high ceilings in the living area, and has a lot of outdoor space. There are 2 bedrooms each with a full bath on the first floor and then there is a 3 bed loft with a half bath that is open to the living area. This worked well for us (3 kids). The living room and each bedroom, including the loft, had smart TVs with AppleTV. The condo i would guess is 20-15 years old and is well maintained and in great shape overall. The owner was super-responsive the only time we needed anything. Seems like a nice guy.

Perfect spot

Casa Blanca was the perfect cozy, tropical, inviting home! It was a perfect distance from the beach, but was secluded enough to still feel private. The garden and pool were excellent additions, and it was only a five minute walk from the supermarket and good food options. It’s in the perfect area of town and the beach— close enough to see the cute shops but just off the edge of the most of the hustle and bustle. One thing to be aware of if you stay here is that you should bring your own soap and shampoo, and be prepared to supply your own toilet paper. However, there are an abundance of beach towels.

Wonderful stay in Tamarindo

We loved this quiet Villa located just down the street from the busy part of Tamarindo. It was about a 10 min walk to the downtown area however as my Mother who is almost 80 years old was with us we rented a golf cart for the week. We loved having the beach across the road for early morning walks and to watch the gorgeous sunsets. The pool on site was refreshing and the pool side deck was nice for relaxing and meeting other Villa guests. Our host was super friendly and helpful on the few occasions we had to reach out to them for assistance. They always got right back to us and provided excellent recommendations for tours and for the golf cart rental. The Villa itself was so beautiful and had everything we needed to cook in if we chose to or for relaxing at night. The teens had their own loft bedroom which they liked and my Mother loved having her own tv in her room when she wanted some alone time. We would definitely stay here again.

The best part lace to stay for our family with six adults

This amazing villa is in the perfect location just a short walk to beach and town but far enough away to be quiet and serene. Villa was just the right size for hubby and me (fantastic master bedroom) and our two grown sons and their partners. Great for cooking and lounging. Pool was great. We would absolutely come again.

Ringing in the new year in Tamarindo

Our family of 4 - myself, a husband native to CR, and two children 12 & 10 - and our friends and another family of 4 - with 12-year old twins - stayed at Casa Fandango for New Years 2023-2024. The location is lovely, right across the road from the beach, close to Tamarindo center but not too close and near the lovely neighboring Playa Langosta. We used the shared pool daily, cooked and grilled some of our own meals, and rented two 4-person golf carts to get around. Two fit in the designated parking space just fine, just be sure to get a longer extension cord from your cart company to reach the outlet by the a/c unit if you have an electric (we might recommend gas for this reason). (Although carts probably aren't totally necessary, depending where you want to go!) Check-in was easy and Scott was friendly and accommodating, as were our neighbors in the other houses on the property. Also great were the 2.5 baths in the house ensuring each family had one pretty much to themselves and the kids their own half in the loft area. We are always so appreciative of our time in Costa Rica, it is a special place. Thank you for having us.

Fabulous Stay & Beautiful Home

We visited Casa Fandango for a week long stay over Christmas with our family (two couples and four children ages 8-16). We fell in love with the home right away, it’s nestled into an oasis which is quiet, private and beautifully landscaped. The pool was delightful. Everyone we met at the complex was friendly and kind. We all felt safe and welcome! The home has beautiful architecture and is cozy but room for 8+. It had everything we needed and some things we didn’t know we would need! The hosts were easily reachable if we had questions and very responsive. Tamerindo is just a short 5 minute walk, there are also frequently power scooters available to rent to zoom around (the kids loved those!). The beach is a less than 2 minute walk and stunning with surfing, boogie boarding and more. There’s a fabulous restaurant/bakery/coffee shop right next door if you don’t like venturing far. Overall, the location is ideal! So quiet you can hear the monkeys as they move through the trees and the birds chirping. We absolutely will be visiting Casa Fandango again! The kids area already asking to go next year. Highly recommend!

This property was fantastic! Very clean, well maintained, and close to everything you’ll need during your tropical vacation. It is within a short walking distance to restaurants beach, beach club, shopping, and food truck park. The villa is very spacious and a great multi-level layout for families. The kitchen is well equipped and there are plenty of towels for pool or beach.The shared pool was great and relaxing - it was a nice way to wind down after a long day of touring and exploring. The full size washer-dryer was a great feature for family of four.

Fit our needs

The property was perfect for two families with teens. Kitchen had everything we needed, and bed configuration was perfect for our group. The location was just a few blocks away from the busy town which made our end of the beach less crowded. We could walk right across the street to beach access. We spent a lot of evenings at the small pool. Beach chairs and boogie boards would have been a nice benefit. Would recommend for groups of our size.

Scott is super responsive and an incredibly helpful host - and quickly extended our stay when our flights home were delayed. The home was perfect for our stay. The shared pool is pristine and the villa was comfortably cooled. It's conveniently located across the street from the beach and within walking distance from all the best amenities: beach clubs, grocery stores, restaurants and bars. Our adult group had no problem without a car or golf carts walking into town, but I would recommend renting a cart if you have a group with children or older folks. Would stay here again!

Beautiful House

I’ve been to Costa Rica a few times and was bringing young adults and wanted them to be able to do things on their own. There was 6 of us and the house was perfect for us. Walking distance to the beach, restaurants, bars, stores and nightlife.. The house had a shared pool for us, who just wanted to hang out and relax. The house itself was lovely and relaxing. A few times we just stayed in to cook our own food, which was nice. We BBQ our own steak dinners and was a nice touch to eat outside.

Simply put…Outstanding. The owner is supremely responsive and goes above and beyond to ensure your stay is great. The set up is very convenient to the beach and the shops but tucked back from the hustle and bustle. The lot has 4 homes as part of a complex complete with large pool. Everything is beautifully landscaped and the touches are very authentically Tico. They’ve also done some great modernization with solid WiFi, tankless water heaters (hot water never ran out) and streaming services on all the TVs. Look no further, this is your spot.

Nice house, very comfortable for our needs

We enjoyed our stay at Casa Fandango. Property manager was extremely responsive to questions and helpful throughout. Proximity to a nice quiet part of the beach was great. Having a pool was excellent. A couple of small glitches were dealt with quickly. House is a little further from town than is really comfortable for daily walking if you decide to stay without a car. It doesn't seem that far but the lack of sidewalks makes it challenging, especially when walking at night and with kids. Internet was spotty with 4 simultaneous users but clearly we should have spent less time online during our vacation! Overall, a pleasant stay.

A great space in a great location

Fandango is a lovely property that has a real charm. You can tell the property is actively used by the owner as it has a real homely feel about it and is well equipped. Everything works and the property is clean, tidy, has a good amount of space and plenty of bathrooms. One thing to be aware of: the top room (the large one with three beds), is effectively a gallery room so can't be closed off from the rest of the property by a door. The room is great and really big - but note that the people staying up there really need to be the last to bed and first up as they will hear everything going on downstairs.
