Can’t beat the view but……

The view was hands down amazing however the property needs some love. The pool had a serious leak and was dirty. The kitchen was very dated with appliances like dishwasher looked like it was just shoved into a spot and didn’t fit. No garage door opener and when we asked about that manager was like oh yeah we knew about that. Would have been nice to know prior to arrival. We arrived on Sunday and tried to reach out to property manager with every number given and were unable to reach anybody. The road to house is very rough and a tad terrifying, Not a bad place but for the price could do a lot better

What a view! The home was perfect for my family. The road is steep to get to so I suggest a suv but other than that we had a blast staying at Casa Xanadu

Tamarindo rental

Very disappointed in the rental starting with a harrowing 1 km drive up a steep and narrow unpaved road with large potholes. Furnishing we’re old and two bedrooms didn’t have closets and no place to hang clothing. Bathrooms had one or two hooks for towels but the masterbath towel hooks were not usable. We were told we could use the dryer. Bedrooms were very small and one of the beds had a very uncomfortable mattress.

CASA XANADU

Overall a nice stay. The house definitely needs to be repaired (plumbing, air conditioners (master bedroom never worked)/ kitchen (needs exterminating) and needs a daily pool maintenance. In any event we all enjoyed.

Million Dollar View

As soon as you walk through the door you are greeted with the best view in Tamarindo. You probably will spend 99% of your time out by the pool but if you don’t like breathe taking views you’ll find a very clean and spacious house. Each bedroom has its own AC unit and the kitchen is more than big enough to cook large family meals. Do not expect to traverse the hill everyday into the city as it has a pretty steep incline, highly recommend having a car or using Uber. Utilize the concierge as much as possible, Cris was amazing and our trip would not have been as fun without her help. Pura Vida!

Better than we imagined!

Words can not describe how beautiful this villa is. The infinity pool, the view from the master suite is breathtaking. 7 women ages 30+ stayed here for my bachelorette and had the time of our life. We rented two cars to get around Tamarindo and highly recommend this to anyone, driving was easy and it was nice having a car to go up and down the hill to the villa. Kris the host was amazing from check in, to helping arrange a chef, to excursions, to stocking our villa before arrival; you couldn’t ask for a better host. Normally I like to change where I stay when I come back and visit but I will be back to this Villa!

Great Views of Sunset!

Overall we really enjoyed the view! Kitchen isn't the biggest/nicest but the pool and view more than make up for it. It's a steep hill to drive up so not as easy to walk into town but very short drive to park at the beach.

Beautiful View!

We had 4 adults and 6 children. Overall communication prior to our stay was good and check-in was clear and easy. The house was nice and the view was spectacular. We spent most of our time on the back patio and in the pool. It was a wonderful space for dining and spending time together. The sunsets were incredible! The bedrooms all had AC, the washer and dryer worked well and the garage was nice for keeping the car cool and safe. The cleaning lady came once during our stay and the pool guy was there every other day. We felt safe and liked being a short drive to town - about 5 mins. We visited several local restaurants. Our favorites were Green Papaya (enchiladas), Dragonfly (beef filet), Pangus (Fish), Fish & Cheese (Pizza) and the amazingly good/cheap Mandarina Tropical Juice Bar (tacos, breakfast and smoothies). Our favorite grocery store was Vindi - its clean, well stocked and is fairly inexpensive. They take cc or cash, including US dollars. We also shopped at Auto Mercado but was it was much more expensive. Bring small bills for tips and beer/water on beach. ATMs were everywhere. A few suggestions for the home: -More pillows would have been great (there are only 8 total in the house) -Show pictures of the road! It is a very steep incline with many potholes and loose gravel. You get used to it but the first couple of times feels very scary! I rented a Corolla and in low gear it made it up (slowly!) but had I known about the road, I would have rented a car that sat higher up. -The master bathroom has 3 steps to get in and out of a deep tub. The tile gets very slick so it's quite dangerous. Be prepared if you have this room - I slid and fell hard. I think some extra bath mats would help. Or get ride of that tub! Overall, a nice stay and the view made everything worth it.

Although I didn’t receive check in directions the property manager was easy to track down and arrange. The property sits near the top of a hill which provides amazing views and sunsets. A cleaning service was provided half way through which was a welcome surprise. Staff was kind and accommodating with our minimal needs. There are 4 beds and according to the staff you can get a store away of some sort if needed. ACs work well in the rooms but common areas remain warm but this wasn’t much of an issue. Just a heads up if you plan on sleeping in the common areas. Overall, I would recommend and of course stay again.
