About this property

Casa Timlin - Solar Hot Tub, Concierge, Daily Housekeeping

Welcome to Casa Timlin, where contemporary elegance meets the soul of Costa Rica. Perched above the Pacific with panoramic ocean views, this private retreat offers an intimate, fully serviced escape designed for discerning travelers who value privacy, comfort, quality, and authentic experience.

Awaken to the sounds of monkeys and soft ocean breezes. Spend your days drifting between the ocean view hammock, the solar heated hot tub, and the infinity of the Pacific Ocean. Sip cocktails as the sky ignites at sunset or linger over dinner on the terrace as the evening air turns warm and golden.

Casa Timlin was created for slowing down, reconnecting, and immersing yourself in the very best of Costa Rica’s beauty and culture.

Hosted With Expertise and Care
With over 20 years in the luxury vacation market, we operate Casa Timlin with the same precision and hospitality as a boutique hotel yet with the warmth of a private home. Our commitment to exceptional service has inspired nearly one in three guests to return, a rare testament to the comfort, privacy, and care they find here.

We host only a select number of guests each year, ensuring the home, and every stay receives the highest level of personal attention and service.

Daily Housekeeping and Personalized Dining
Your dedicated caretaker Reyna ensures the villa is kept immaculate each day excluding Sundays. Crisp linens, perfectly made beds, and spotless living spaces mean you can sit back and relax.

Reyna can also prepare authentic Costa Rican breakfasts, light lunches, or afternoon snacks with groceries provided by guests. For a small additional fee, she can prepare the catch of the day or a local dinner served for those who want to dine in the comfort of their home.

Design and Atmosphere
Casa Timlin’s architecture embraces an indoor outdoor flow, soaring 15 foot ceilings, and private bedroom wings for complete privacy. Custom furnishings crafted from locally sourced hardwoods add a touch of Costa Rican artistry to the contemporary aesthetic.

Sustainable Luxury
Powered in part by solar energy and featuring a solar heated hot tub, Casa Timlin combines eco conscious living with uncompromising comfort.

Location and Lifestyle
Just 800 meters from Coco Beach and less than a minute’s drive from the area’s top restaurants including Mar Azul, Pacifico Beach Club, and Café de Playa, Casa Timlin is close enough for convenience yet secluded enough for serenity.

Our dedicated concierge Ian is available daily to arrange dinner reservations, in home spa treatments, guided wildlife excursions, and bespoke adventure tours.

Amenities That Elevate Your Stay
-Starlink high speed internet
-Multi room Sonos audio system
-Premium linens and blackout curtains
-TVs with US channels and sports in each bedroom

Casa Timlin is not simply a place to stay, it is a sanctuary for travelers who appreciate comfort, authenticity, and attentive quality and service. We look forward to welcoming you to your home in Costa Rica.

The Casa Timlin Team

Amazing views, wonderful house, great location

We'd stay here again for sure. The house is great. New, modern, spacious. The pool and hot tub were very nice with breathtaking views from them and the entire front of the house. Short walk downhill to the beach, although parking at the beach was also very easy.

What an amazing place to stay on the Playa Del Coco coast!! We enjoyed Tim's home so much we never wanted to leave! Everything about the home is 5-star - from the comfortable beds, bathroom amenities, fully-stocked kitchen, infinity pool, deck furniture, etc., etc. We just wished we had stayed longer. Tim has thought of everything and is so kind. He has great people working for him to help with concierge services, housekeeping and meal preparation. He has such nice touches, including beautiful flowers to enjoy during your stay. We are looking for a reason to return to Costa Rica just to stay at Tim's place again!

BEYOND WORDS! Our stay was absolutely amazing. From the minute we checked in, we knew we had made the right choice of where to stay. The house had everything we needed (and then some), the pool and hot tub were incredible, Tim (the host) was attentive and helpful, and Reyna (the housekeeper) absolutely made our stay - she cooked us a couple of dinners (a must-do if you book your trip here). The location was easy to get to a lot of different areas/beaches, but coming back to the house was always something we looked forward to - just wait until you see the sunsets. We can't say enough about this home ... other than book it!! You will not be disappointed!

Totally Spoiled!

First, the house was amazing!!! It sits up on a hill for amazing views/sunsets but is close enough to the beach and town to walk each day. Yes, there is a "slight hill" but it was great for walking off the food. Everything you can imagine is provided from soap, hair dryer, to pool toys and beach chairs. We watched the sunset in the evening and listened to howler monkeys in the morning. Reyna made sure everything was immaculate and each day we returned from our activities, the house was freshly cleaned (We felt guilty). Ian put up with our procrastination and set up our tours after we arrived and managed to book us on everything we wanted. Can't imagine staying anywhere else after this house. Thank you so much for everything!

Lifetime of memories at Timlin

We spent a week with our two adult children in Playa de Coco (April 24) and had one of our best vacations at Timlin. Tim and his staff were attentive to every need and detail from time of booking through our departure. Not only was the villa one of the beast we've ever stayed, but their concierge services allowed us to travel throughout the area without any concerns. Highly recommend and will be back.

Magical property and amazing views

We had an incredible week stay at Tim's house. It was a great base to explore the beaches on the north western coast and was a five minute drive to markets for anything you need in Coco, restaurants and the beach. It is stocked with all the supplies you would require for cooking and grilling, which we did every day. It was nice so exceptional that we decided it was better just to hang out, cook, enjoy the sunsets, and swim again and again. You won't want to leave these magical views and gorgeous house!

Wonderful! Amazing home and location

Casa Timlin exceeded our expectations! Beautiful home and setting with gorgeous sunsets. Local restaurants were great but we enjoyed eating dinner at the home as much. Reyna is a wonderful cook and was so relaxing to enjoy the pool, views and veranda in the evening. Tim was great with the preparation and check-in process, making travel so easy and enjoyable. Our kids, aged 11-17, loved the house and area as well. We highly recommend!Lots to do in this area. We enjoyed Playa de Coco as well as Playa Hermosa, only a 10 minute drive. Both had great ocean waves and boogie boarding for hours! Diamonte adventure park was really fun as well as sailboat/snorkel/island bbq excursion through Don Bosco tours.We enjoyed surfing, rainforest, volcano, hanging bridges prior to staying at Casa Timlin, and would be worth looking into day trips and/or combining with another overnight, as all were really fun.

About the host

Hosted by Tim

Host profile image
Originally from the Washington, D.C. area, I resigned from Bayer Healthcare and set out on a life-changing journey to Costa Rica over 20 years ago. Playas del Coco became home, and over the years, I not only designed and built this dream property, but also founded and operated one of the largest luxury property management and vacation rental companies in the Guanacaste region. What you'll experience at Casa Timlin is the culmination of 18 years of delivering high-end vacation rentals with a focus on service, comfort, and authenticity.

In 2024, I sold my company and traded the flip-flops and beach lifestyle for the tranquility of the mountains. I now live about 90 minutes away near the stunning Río Celeste waterfall, where I develop real estate, operate a sustainable farm, and personally manage guest stays at Casa Timlin. The home is listed exclusively on VRBO and is offered to select guests during specific times of the year.

In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my 2 boys, riding Enduro motorcycles, dancing (Salsa, Merengue, Bachata), traveling, and building custom exotic wood furniture using prestigious local hardwoods many of which you’ll see throughout Casa Timlin.

This isn’t just another rental it’s a home. Professionally maintained, supported by a seasoned team, and backed by a deep foundation in hospitality and knowledge. Every detail reflects the care, comfort, and quality every guest deserves.

It will be my honor to host you and your family at Casa Timlin. I look forward to personally welcoming you at check-in and sharing this little piece of paradise with you.

Pura Vida,
Tim
