This is such a great house. We spent 6 days in Tamarindo and had a blast. Andrea is a sensational host and the home is exactly as pictured. Looking back at the photos now makes my heart ache, I miss being there already. I highly recommend you stay here!
Andrea was a great host and we loved the property. It is perfect for couples traveling together. The house is modern and well kept, sits far enough from town that it’s quiet but still close enough to be convenient. You could walk to town (dirt road so it’s dusty) but it’s best if you have transportation. The pool is great for a late night or early morning swim and if you’re lucky the monkeys will be in the trees surrounding it!
Loved it. The house was perfect for us, with an amazing lounge area and pool. Was literally only a 5 minute drive to town. We saw some exotic birds and a chill iguana. Had no problems at all... would book again. 👏👏👌👌

Liked: Check-in
Disliked: Location, listing accuracy
It was ok… too far from town, uncomfortable loung spaces, not private as the listing suggested.
I didn’t receive the pin until after I arrived in Costa Rica, while it was easy to find the roads were extremely rough and the cab driver told me I was in a bad area.
The house was nice, but the surroundings were constant construction (6am-9pm), dogs barking and a pool/maitnanceman that visited everyday for 1+ hours that I was unaware of.
The cupboards did not stay open from the hinge and I had to message about turning the gas on so I could use the stove, and all the pool floaters had holes in them.
While I enjoyed my time in Costa Rice, I was not impressed with the cost of this rental with what it offered.
Sorry Andrea, but I do not recommend this rental.

Thank you for your feedback Sabina. The pool guy goes to make sure pool stays clean as it is very windy this time of the year. If you didn’t like having him you could have said something.
In the listing we tell our clients about this being an upcoming area with construction around. Although inside the house you don’t get disturbed at all.
The floats are from people who leave them. I’ll make sure they are gone for next guests.
I am sorry you did not enjoy your stay! Wish you would have told us during your time here to make it better. I was in communication with you and never told me anything
From start to finish this was an incredible stay. Andrea answered all of our questions prior to arriving and was nice enough to even meet us in town and drive us to the property. The home itself was absolutely spotless and more than comfortable for my husband and I. I took the closet in the second bedroom and used the desk as a vanity and it was just a perfect situation. The area surrounding the home is jungle and we found all sorts of amazing wildlife but not in a weird way. There were monkeys swinging in the trees, howling And we loved every minute of that. The birds, a few Crawley critters, but nothing terrifying, and nothing in the house. The pool is lovely and someone was sent by every day to clean it, which we really appreciated. It is not walkable to town unless you really enjoy a good long, dusty walk, but it is absolutely convenient by car and far enough away from the crowds of Tamarindo to really feel like you’re out in nature but five minutes by car and you’re in the center of everything. The house was fully equipped with everything you might need including beach chairs to take with us when we went to other towns. I can’t say enough about our stay. We really really enjoyed it. if I had one suggestion for the homeowner it would be better lighting for the bathrooms , but that would honestly be it. Thank you so much for making it an amazing experience!! We would highly recommend!
Our group of four stayed at this property for three nights. The house was clean, modern and had a well equipped kitchen. The yard and pool were perfect for spending the afternoon in.
The walk into Tamarindo from the house takes about 30 minutes, it's doable but best if you have a vehicle or golf cart. We thought it would great if the house had a couple bikes for guests to use.
Nuestra experiencia fue muy buena. La casa estuvo muy bien instalada y perfecta para descansar. Cerca de Tamarindo y de otras playas. El servicio y la rapidez de respuesta de Andrea Ochoa y su grupo fue excelente.
We absolutely loved staying here for our honeymoon! The home is clean and modern with a beautiful outdoor space. There is so much space, and we felt very comfortable.
The property was gated and provided secure parking which was fantastic. We enjoyed the private pool, which was clean and well-maintained. It was fantastic to wake up to that view outside the main bedroom!
Keep in mind a 4x4 vehicle is necessary to get to and from the house. We liked how quiet it was and the privacy was fantastic!
Andrea was a dream to work with. She met as at the property to make sure we knew our way around. She provided fantastic recommendations for local restaurants and attractions, including a private fishing charter! She was always quick to respond and went above and beyond to be a phenomenal host. We were so appreciative of her help during our entire trip!
We would absolutely stay here again, it was beautiful!
La casa está impecable, tiene todas las comodidades y todo lo que se ocupe para estar ahí sin necesidad de salir. Está a unos 8-10 minutos del centro de Tama en carro. Hay mucha privacidad ya que no hay muchas casas o propiedades construidas alrededor.
