Our group consisting of two parents, two children (7 and 4), and their grandmother stayed for two weeks in April 2023. This villa is in a walled compound with 4 other rental homes.
First, the property is stunning with meticulously curated gardens, eating areas and a spacious pool with a deep end for diving and a shallower end for families. At the deeper end of the pool sit a lovely covered seating area and bathroom. The property’s private location is ideal, moments from the beach and a short stroll from great amenities: restaurants, coffee shops, beach clubs, food trucks, and groceries.
We did not have a car rental for the majority of our stay and were able to walk to all the nearby amenities.
The owners and their property managers were friendly, communicative and went well out of their way to ensure that our stay was exceptional. The property managers offered to obtain groceries for us in advance, for a small fee, which was very thoughtful. We had questions for the property managers occasionally during our stay and they were very responsive and helpful.
Inside the home, there are two adjoining bedrooms with an ensuite bathroom, which was nice for our small children. A separate bedroom is located off of the kitchen with a full bathroom adjacent. The home is nicely renovated and the open kitchen, breakfast nook, dining area and living room are spacious and well laid out. The kitchen itself is spacious and great for cooking with modern appliances and a full range of utensils. A large wrap around deck, accessible both via the front door and a side door off the living room, has great views and a clean and new propane BBQ.
Each room has independently-controlled air conditioning and fans which made for a very comfortable stay. The in-suite laundry came in handy many times to launder towels and personal clothing items.
Given the compound includes 4 other rental homes, our family met a range of families and enjoyed time in the common spaces around the pool with them, which was an unexpected bonus.
Playa Tamarindo is a unique soft sand beach with very little elevation change. This makes for dramatic tidal changes and waves ideal for beginner surfers or moderately adventurous boogie boarders. A lockable closet on the wrap-around patio contains a variety of useful beach items. A dedicated parking space with easy automatic gate access is near to the home.
We would not hesitate to stay in this accommodation again.
