About this property

Luxury Ocean View Above Coco Beach - Concierge + Hot Tub + Daily Housekeeping

Casa Timlin is perfect for romantic getaways, families, couples, and friends celebrating something special.

Perched above Playa del Coco, this modern home is built around sweeping Pacific views, beautiful sunsets, and the simple pleasure of being together. It was designed around one idea: a home where you can unwind and feel completely comfortable sharing time with the people you love.

You may come to Costa Rica to explore, but you may end up deciding you'd rather stay home. Swim, prepare the catch of the day, or get the hot tub ready for another spectacular sunset. Many of our guests tell us their favorite part of the day is simply settling into the pool or hammock and watching the sun disappear over the Pacific.

But the experience goes beyond the house. I personally welcome guests on arrival. Reyna, our dedicated housekeeper, keeps the home fresh every day, cleans all rooms and update linens, and helps with local breakfasts and lunches on request. After a day exploring, she can also prepare a home-cooked Costa Rican dinner so you can come home, relax, and enjoy the evening without going back out.

Our concierge, Ian, will help you build the trip around what you actually want to experience, from a private sunset cruise and dinner on a secluded beach to fishing, waterfalls, massages, or simply finding the right local restaurant. His local knowledge means you don't have to figure it out yourself.

Casa Timlin isn't your typical vacation rental. It's a home built on 20+ years of learning what guests actually want in a luxury retreat. Today, a small team helps me perfect that for every family we have the honor of hosting. We're not focused on maximizing rentals. Our goal is delivering a high-quality experience, and our exceptional reviews are the result.

Today 30% of our guests are return visitors. We hope you'll enjoy Casa Timlin enough to become one of them.

Book your stay. We'll take care of the rest.

Pura Vida!

The Casa Timlin Team

We had a fantastic experience at Casa Timlin! The owner met us at the house on check-in and helped us get acquainted with the home and various features. The location was perfect and views are incredible! Daily housekeeping and breakfast were part of the package, although we only utilized 2 days of the service. The pool was pristine and we really loved the solar hot tub, which was a first for us! Everything about our stay was top-notch and we would highly recommend Casa Timlin for anyone wanting a beautiful location, quick access to the surrounding beaches, and solitude.

I was very impressed by the overall condition of the house, the ease of check-in, and the availability of the host. Casa Timlin was exactly what we needed for our stay in Costa Rica. The house was very well stocked, even with items that you may not expect in a vacation rental such as spices, foil, and aluminum foil. We went out and explored most days, but always ended up back there to cook dinner and enjoy the beautiful pool and sunsets. Highly recommended.

The house is outfitted with tons of extras and it is obvious the host has put a lot of thought into what needs to be in the house to make sure guests have a wonderful experience. The housekeeping, cooking and support with booking activities were all above and beyond. We highly recommend this property.

We loved our stay. The house was beautiful, it was a perfect spot for us to relax, unwind and enjoy our vacation. In addition to the beautiful house, the people operating the residence were nothing but exceptional, friendly and respectful. Tim and Ian were always available when needed, and able to provide us with great insight and knowledge of the area. Last but not least, Reyna was an amazing house guest every morning to ensure the place was clean and tidy so we could enjoy the most of our vacation. In addition, we had the pleasure of having Reyna cook us an amazing dinner in our last night. We would definitely stay here again we really enjoyed our time here and would highly recommend it to others looking for a place to stay. Pura Vida

First time to Costa Rica. Casa Timlin was fantastic. Beautiful infinity pool looking onto ocean sunset. Well located, close to beaches, activities, restaurants and only 45 min drive from Liberia Airport. Host was communicative and welcomed us on site. Reyna (maid/cook) was wonderful (first rental I've been with a daily maid service). Ian (the concierge) was helpful in recommending different activities for during our trip. Casa Timlin had everything and can't beat coming back to a sunset view after a full day of exploring Costa Rica.

We spent a week at Casa Timlin and it was the best holiday rental we have ever stayed in. Tim was a great host! He met us at the house and walked us through everything and he was very quick to respond to any messages we sent to him before our trip and during our vacation. He gave us great recommendations for our excursions and set us up with the house concierge Ian. Ian booked everything for us and checked in afterwards to make sure everything went well. Reyna is the housekeeper and she truly helped to put this vacation over the top. Coming back to a clean house, empty dishwasher, made beds and clean towels was a dream! The house itself is amazing and has the absolute best view. We sat in the pool for hours looking at the ocean, and sat every night watching the sunset. The patio is where we had coffee in the morning listening to the howler monkeys and birds. Playa del Coco is just down the hill and we were able to get groceries. There is a delivery service as well and it was so great to have a stocked fridge at the beginning of the trip. The house was spacious and fit our family of 6 perfectly. We spent our nights watching movies and relaxing in the downstairs media room and the kids enjoyed the games too. Don't hesitate to rent this house. Thank you so much to Tim, Reyna and Ian for the trip of a lifetime. We hope we can return!!

About the host

Hosted by Tim

Host profile image

Originally from the Washington, D.C. area, I left a corporate career 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 didn't just design and build this property, I founded and operated one of the largest luxury property management and vacation rental companies in the Guanacaste region for 18 years. What you'll experience at Casa Timlin is the culmination of nearly two decades spent learning what makes a high-end vacation truly work: service, comfort, and consistency.

In 2024, I sold my company and traded my flip-flops and beach lifestyle for the tranquility of the rainforest. I now live about 90 minutes away near the Río Celeste waterfall, where I develop real estate and personally manage every guest stay at Casa Timlin.

In my free time I'm with my two boys, riding motorcycles, dancing salsa, merengue, and bachata, traveling, and building custom furniture from prestigious local hardwoods, many pieces of which you'll see and use throughout Casa Timlin. When you stay here, you're living with the things I've built by hand.

This isn't just another rental. It's a home, professionally maintained, supported by a seasoned local team, and backed by a deep foundation in hospitality. Every detail reflects the care, comfort, and quality every guest deserves, and about 30% of our guests care enough to come back.

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.

Tim Ellis

Why they chose this property

Playas del Coco drew me in over twenty years ago and never let go. It's one of the few places in Guanacaste with a real, living local town right alongside the beach. Casa Timlin sits in the hills just above yet you're only five minutes from the supermarket, pharmacy, bank, and a great mix of local sodas and beachfront restaurants.

What I love most is the balance: spend the morning on the water, then come home to total quiet and privacy above the bay. Everything close by, without ever losing the calm that makes Costa Rica feel like Costa Rica.
