☀ Oceanview and Private Pool ⛱ 8 mins to Downtown

Nestled in the tropical dry forest, completely surrounded by nature and peace; this is the perfect place to disconnect and relax. Enjoy your private pool, yoga deck, wonderful gardens, and take a nap in a hammock or enjoy a walk through the beautiful custom designed labyrinth. Located 8 minutes from downtown Tamarindo in the quiet hills.

Our concierge team is available through messaging apps, email, or phone to assist you with every aspect of your trip.

Tamarindo Beach is a beautiful beach with amazing waves, sunsets and so much more. Tamarindo is a great town full of things to do, great restaurants, shops, and nightlife. People from all over the world call Tamarindo "home" making it a melting pot of experiences, food, and activities. Tamarindo has something for everyone...from family-friendly restaurants and activities, surf lessons, kayaking, boogie boarding, etc. to great restaurants, bars, and nightlife. There are amazing boutiques, souvenir shopping and great grocery stores, and farmers and night markets. Tamarindo is a great place to take a surf lesson or to hop on a boat for a day of fishing or a sunset Catamaran tour. We even have a skate park and basketball court for those who want something to do in addition to the beach. The Tamarindo Bay offers surf breaks for multiple levels of surfers and calm waters for those who just want to swim and float. The Tamarindo beach is a beautiful beach for walking, playing volleyball, or just sitting and watching the sunset. Just outside of Tamarindo, there are amazing bike trails for mountain bikers, and it's an easy drive to many other amazing beaches. Tamarindo has lodging for everyone's budget - from budget-friendly small units in town to multi-million dollar houses up on the hill with amazing views.

You will have access to the entire property.

Tamarindo is 1 hour away from the Liberia Airport, you can arrange shuttles or car rentals through us with special prices and discounts.

Once in Tamarindo you can rely on the informal taxi service or rent an ATV to move around and discover some amazing beaches 30 minutes away from us.

DISCLOSURE: This is a remote house that is fully fenced and about an 8-10 minute drive from Tamarindo. Due to the remote location of the house, response times will be longer. This is a great property for those who want to be away from it all and enjoy Costa Rica's nature and views. This is NOT a great property for those who want quick/smooth access to the town of Tamarindo or to be close to others.

Casa Ylang Ylang is a privacy paradise

With very few other houses around, trees and birds will be your neighbors and companions as you enjoy the large wooden deck, private pool, yoga deck, fruit bearing trees, labyrinth, birds and butterflies with the Pacific ocean in the background.

This 2 floor wooden house has 3 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms and is fully equipped to ensure that you will have a quiet vacation.
The first floor has an open floor plan and lots of windows for natural light and breezes. To the right you have a dinner table for 6 and to the left the stairs to the second floor and access to the in house laundry room on the left. You move on to the fully equipped kitchen with a U shaped quartz counter, stove, oven, fridge, dishwasher, rice maker, and all utensils.
Past the kitchen we have a sitting and TV area that leads to the refresing pool and the large deck with hammocks, lounge chairs, and the gas BBQ. This floor also has AC so you can stay cool throughout the entire home.

On the second floor, the master bedroom with views to the Pacific has lots of closet space with a personal safe that can be locked off for extra security. The in-suite bathroom has a large shower with a secondary detachable showerhead and sandblasted windows that can be open to appreciate nature as you bathe.
The second bedroom has a king bed, plenty of storage space and a full bathroom next door.
Both bedrooms share the front top terrace with a shaded sitting area where you can do Yoga or enjoy the sunsets and an open area to tan and feel the sun.
The third bedroom is on the opposite side of the house and has two twin beds.

Outside you will have a gated parking area for 2 vehicles with an outdoor shower to rinse off the sand from the beach. The large lot has many fruit-bearing trees like Mangoes, Papayas, and Cashews. Additionally, there is a yoga/sunset deck and a beautiful labyrinth to walk around and enjoy.

To access the house you will need to drive around 10 minutes from Tamarindo towards Los Jobos on a dirt road. A higher 4x4 vehicle or a UTV are the recommended transports and our team can help you arrange these as well as taxis as you will need transportation to come and go to town and the beach.

Fabulous place

Casa Ylang Ylang was the perfect place for our family of four plus one. We loved the design and layout, pool, and amenities. With it's perch on the hilltop it feels a bit like the coolest treehouse you've ever stayed in

This trip was great! The house is close enough to town that it is easy to hop into town, but far enough away to be quiet and relaxing! The property management was great and their communication was excellent! This house was exactly what we needed!

Gorgeous Property

We had a wonderful stay. We were greeted with a bottle of wine and sweet bread + jam. The property is gorgeous and has an ocean view and a lovely patio for watching the sunset. We loved listening to the howler monkeys in the canopy. The property was as described and just right for our family. AC in the bedrooms worked great and kept us comfortable. No AC in the common areas. Plenty windows and fans, but it did get warm. The kitchen was excellent, and the house was furnished comfortably and with little extras like books and games to play. Lots of beautiful outdoor space so everyone could have their own little area for downtime. Communication with the property manager was excellent. He was on top of things and always responded promptly. Prior reviews about the bumpy road or no joke. It was rough and tumble with our four-wheel-drive. Not a bad drive, but definitely dusty and BUMPY. A short 8 to 10 minute drive gets you into town and a market is one of the closest things as you come and go from town, which is very convenient. Be aware that Tamarindo is experiencing a water crisis right now. We were told at check-in that water pressure might be low. The shower in the primary bathroom worked fine, but the secondary bathroom was a trickle. Definitely out of the property manager’s hands, but maybe something to be aware of. Overall would for sure recommend, especially if you’re looking for a quiet out-of-the-way place away from the fray of downtown.

Beautiful and close to town

We enjoyed our stay here so much. The pool was wonderful and it was nice to get away from Tamarindo heat spring the daytime. The host even had a sweet surprise of fresh rolls, jam and wine waiting for us upon arrival. The property management group was fantastic and quick to respond to questions. The road will require a 4x4 but wasn’t nearly as treacherous as some of the other CR roads we have encountered on our trip. Highly recommend this place if you want to be close to town but get away and enjoy your own privacy. Howler monkeys woke us up every morning!

Beautiful House

Perfect place. Except for the fact that RPM (the actual rental organisation) did not inform us about the building activities right next door. And did not reply on my emails regarding this. Not only the noise was sometimes annoying, but also the fact that the workers could look right on the terrace/pool area when they were working on the roof.

Relaxing and Quiet

The stay was pretty relaxing and quiet. There is a lot of large glass windows but the area is fairly private. Be sure to confirm the cleaning and landscaping schedule with the office for your visit. There were two scorpions that made their way inside the home. The kitchen and pool are lovely. The view is pretty peaceful and really gives the tropical paradise feel. Enjoyable villa for couples or small groups and families.

Family vacation!

Our family of 4 just stayed here, June 13-21st. It was absolutely amazing! The house is just as pictured, extremely clean, yard well taken care of and an amazing pool! They supplied plenty of towels for the pool and all the bathrooms. They even supplied enough toilet and paper towels for us! There is nothing bad about this house or location and 100% recommended for any family.

Super vacances familiales

Super belle maison. Beaucoup d’espace pour toute notre famille de 5. La maison n’est pas en ville mais pas si loin. La route pour s’y rendre est un peu bumpy mais on se sent tout de même bien en sécurité. Nous avons vu des singes notre premier matin. C’était très impressionnant. La piscine est parfaite avec son côté creux et son côté patogeoir. Tamarindo est une très belle destination.
