Luxury Private BEACHFRONT Home- BEST Location in Tamarindo!
CASA NEPTUNO is both Luxury and Casual Elegance! Located within the guard gated community of Hacienda Pinilla, you will find the most charming, nature oriented resort location in Costa Rica. This luxurious 7,000sf oceanfront home with pool, offers both privacy and one of the best beach locations. It is one of a few oceanfront homes for rent within the unique community of Hacienda Pinilla.
CASA NEPTUNO is a Spanish Colonial design which offers direct beach access just steps away, making this house a priceless jewel. The warm waters of the Pacific Ocean and the tranquility of the beach can occasionally offer surprise visits from sea turtles coming ashore to lay their eggs or dolphins jumping in the surf. Families of monkeys are also frequent visitors in the trees surrounding the property. During low tide, you can explore the reef and snorkel right in front of the house.
This two-story home offers many comfortable living areas. The home accommodates up to 14 guests with five master bedrooms, bathrooms en-suite, and walk in closets. The bonus room has a king and two twin size beds. There are half baths on both upper and lower levels.
An impressive wrought iron gate frames a stately driveway guarded by immense Royal Palms which lead you to the main entrance. When you enter, you will immediately be mesmerized by the striking views from the spacious foyer through the accordion doors leading to the pool area just steps from the beach. Two palapas offer shade to both a covered barbeque area with outdoor dining table, and a cozy sitting area with padded benches to socialize or take a nap in the warm breezes.
Four master bedrooms are accessible on the ground floor, each of them with ample windows facing the ocean or the front garden. Furniture is tastefully chosen with a casual beach style and cozy atmosphere, while showcasing original works of local wood craftsman and artists. Newly remodeled on-suite bathrooms are appointed with the latest amenities and feel light and bright.
A stone and iron staircase resembling Old World Spanish style leads to the main floor where sunlight floods the space through wall to wall windows and a giant skylight. Panorama windows allow 180° views of the blue Pacific Ocean and lush treetop foliage, with astonishing sunset views from every area on this floor. Here is also the fifth bedroom with full bath, bonus room, and half bath. Continue with a large open kitchen with dining table and two bar top counters with plenty of seating. The spacious sitting areas and roofed terraces with round loungers make this whole upper floor a social gathering spot to share breakfasts or late evenings and host plenty of room for big groups and families.
Main amenities include pool, bbq grill, air conditioning, cable tv, wifi, Play Station, and indoor laundry room. Board games, dvd's and a book library offer other activities for both couples and families. Twice weekly cleaning service, as well as pool and garden maintenance are included. Golf carts and other rentals can be arranged upon request.
Facilities in the Hacienda Pinilla resort community include a Mike Young designed 18-Hole Golf Course, the exclusive Hacienda Pinilla Beach Club and several restaurants within the 5-star JW Marriott Hotel. Enjoy 3 miles of pristine beaches, horseback riding, a beachfront spa and fitness center, tennis and pickleball, surfing, hiking, bike trails, and wading in the tide pools. Guests have the opportunity to experience a unique and tropical lifestyle, sharing and creating memories with family and friends in an eco-wonderland. We can also recommend some of the best guides to guests interested in offshore fishing or scuba diving charters, boat cruises, and surf or golf lessons. Day trips to Rincon de la Vieja National Park and other excursions can be arranged. Supermarkets, boutiques, restaurants, and nightlife, are just a short 15-20 minute drive to the beach town of Tamarindo.
As our guest you will have the benefit of our on-site property manager and concierge. We can arrange airport transfers, rental cars, tours and activities, restaurant recommendations and reservations, grocery shopping, or anything else to make your trip the most relaxing and memorable. We are only a phone call and short drive away if you need anything during your stay. We hope you have a chance to enjoy CASA NEPTUNO, where your playground is a tropical jungle on the ocean!

Peden family vacation
Overall, we would rate our stay as 4 out of 5 stars. Casa Neptune is a lovely spot and our family particularly enjoyed the setting, the pool, and the open floor plan with generous gathering areas, as we were a family of 13 with seven adults. Rob Macdonald was a gracious host and extended himself for us in several respects. That said, we noticed that maintenance of the house and grounds was lacking in several particulars and needs to be updated and assured for guests who are paying a premium price for this property.

Gorgeous House on the Ocean
This house was amazing!! The view and pool were spectacular. The house had lots and lots of space for 3 family’s. Everyone had their own bathroom and the living space was super comfy for everyone. My kids loved swimming in the pool and exploring the ocean just steps away. We would definitely come back again:).

Incredible Once In A Lifetime Property
We came with our family (6 Adults) for a post holiday, New Years "relax-cation." The location is breathtaking. The double gated community is very safe and very high end with incredible properties surrounding. We were in the pool looking directly at the beach. We travel a ton and this might be the most relaxing place we've been. The house has everything and was much bigger that we expected. We hope to come back when we need a total shut down!

Christmas in Paradise
Spectacular home and spectacular host and concierge service! Jaime, Natalia and Rob made sure our stay was perfect. They went the extra mile to make sure our Christmas vacation was very special. They had food and restaurant recommendations, booked excursions and drivers for us and scheduled a dance lesson for our group! The home is located right on the beach with gorgeous views. Everyone had a fantastic time. Thanks again to the owner and concierge staff of this dream home.

Great Beach House
This was the perfect house for our large group and you can’t beat the location. The pool and hot tub are just steps to the beach and there is plenty of shade to get out of the sun.
The owner, Rob, lives next door and was really helpful. There are also a concierge and a property manager that handled everything we needed.
We will definitely be back to enjoy another great vacation.

Family vacation spring break
Fantastic location, plenty to keep the family entertained, amazing beach and activities. The house was clean and welcoming with spectacular views onto the beach and surrounding grounds of Hacienda Pinilla. The house spacious and well equipped. The TV area was very comfortable and the beds were too. One of the dishwashers did not work but we were informed of this. The other one seemed like it could do with being replaced. The toaster didn’t work. Overall, we would highly recommend this location and these comments are merely to enhance what is a great house with wonderful amenities.

3rd vacation in Costa Rica
We chose this house because of its location within Haciena Pinilla. Mostly because of the bike trails and access to the Bikecraft shop. Jonathon at Bikecraft did not disappoint. He had our 10 bikes ready for the week and we thoroughly enjoyed the bike trails and riding to the beach club, the Marriott and Lola's in Playa Avallenas! The house was most comfortable for 5 couples. Natalia was available to accommodate our requests at anytime. We really appreciate her service as well as Jaimes services. Thank you Mr. MacDonald for opening your beautiful home to us. We thoroughly enjoyed our 9 day stay! Our only disappointment was to learn that we needed to reserve golf carts at least one month in advance.

Wonderful stay
We had 2 families staying in the house and there was plenty of room. The house was clean and comfortable. Natalia and Elsa took care of every detail for us beforehand and during the stay. They had arranged for Henry to drive us to town/excursions and he was awesome and reliable. The sunsets from the beach are beautiful. We enjoyed seeing the monkeys in the trees at the house and on our golf cart rides inside Hacienda Pinella. We ate in town several times, but at the house we had some breakfasts prepared for us that were delicious. I wouldn't hesitate to let Natalia and Elsa take care of your trip!

Amazing
Our stay in Costa Rica was unforgettable! Our house was amazing and had everything we could possibly need. We were a party of 13 and fit perfectly. The location of the house was ideal. We were close to all the great surfing beaches and enjoyed the amazing sunsets on our beach nightly. Natalia was so helpful with getting us ready for our trip and answering any questions we had. Elsa was there for us when we arrived and quickly answered any texts about surf spots and amazing restaurant recommendations. We can’t wait to return to Costa Rica very soon!

Outstanding Property - Outstanding Management
Property presents accurately on-line and does not disappoint. Property owner and manager (Natalia and Elsa) went above and beyond to ensure that every facet of our visit was planned and executed with minimal effort and fantastic results. The property was maintained in excellent condition for the duration of our stay, inside and out (including the pool). There is no doubt we will be back again next year!
