About this property

Casa de las Olas, a Private Oasis - 100 yards for your toes to hit the Sand !

Welcome to Casa de las Olas !! An incredible location just 100 yards to the beach!

Many more new photos of main house coming in May 2024!

For the first time ever, we are happy to off the entire property at Casa de las Olas for your family/group holiday and vacation destination. The combination of the main House and The Casita, allows for 6 guests, with a total of 3 queen bedrooms; 3 full baths; 2 fully appointed kitchens; 2 televisions; 4 air conditioners; 2 well appointed private outdoor showers (hot water); an outside Rancho which includes a bar-b-q and dining area; and a private outdoor bathroom near an AMAZING rear yard and pool.

In 2022 we undertook a major renovation project, which was building a backyard paradise that includes lush gardens, a pool, rancho/kitchenette, and private outdoor showers, and lounging spaces for all to enjoy.

So if you are looking for an Amazing, Beautiful, Fun, Private, well-appointed tropical getaway, we have exactly what you’re looking for. At Casa de las Olas, we believe that when you arrive you "Drop In To Life" !

Located midway between Tamarindo and Langosta, Casa de las Olas is tucked away from the bustle of town in a quiet, premier location that’s just 100 yards to the sand of the safest swimming beach in the area, and a short walk from a few of the finest restaurants in Tamarindo/Langosta. "Downtown" is a beautiful 10 minute walk down the beach, and Langosta's friendly restaurants & bars, and stunning sunsets and beaches are equally close.

We recognize that when you are looking for a vacation rental, you have many choices. In sharing our home with you, our goal is to provide you with a memorable tropical experience.

If you prefer a private setting, you can begin to understand why this property is one of the most sought after properties in the Tamarindo area. Whether it’s surfing, fishing, diving, sitting in the pool, snorkeling, exploring, reading, or just plain old relaxing in the hammock, let Casa de las Olas be your tropical oasis.

OUR TEAM STRIVES FOR EXCELLENCE

IMPORTANT NOTE REGARDING REVIEWS:
Casa de las Olas has been listed on VRBO since 2006. Even though VRBO has changed dramatically over the years obviously, we pay attention to our Guests throughout. As the Owners and the ones who are ultimately responsible for providing a property to you in a manner that is accurately represented on this site, we'd like to express the following - we cannot adequately share with you how very Honored and Grateful our entire Team is to have received so many wonderful and incredible Reviews. As a Guest, you may or may not know how difficult receiving top rated Reviews can be because, at times, it is so easy for certain types of individuals to find items or issues to fault (there's a lot of "moving parts" in attempting to maintain a House in the tropics). We realize that there might be some point in the future where we don't hit the mark with a particular Guest (hopefully, not) but, please know that our Team is extremely Grateful and Humbled for all of the past Reviews that have supported our efforts. Thank You so very much for believing in and supporting us! You have our commitment and our assurances to always strive for Excellence in all that we do.

PLEASE NOTE: This a very popular property historically - we are very blessed to have many returning Guests - Thank you !!!

COVID-19:
We have adopted, and the entire Staff at Casa de las Olas has been trained in, the "UltraClean" protocol which was originally developed in Australia and is now an international standard for cleaning holiday rental units. Should you wish to receive additional information regarding the "Ultra Clean" protocol, just reach out and we will share this with you. Additionally, should you wish to not have the cleaning service, which is normally included, please let us know ahead of time so that we can arrange that with our incredible Maid.

Perfect spot in Tamarindo!
We couldn’t have made a better selection for our vacation in Tamarindo, Costa Rica. The casita was lovely with everything we needed. The pool, gardens, and outdoor living area were ideal. The beach access was just across the street. The property is in the quieter area of Tamarindo which was nice. It’s an easy walk to restaurants. Rik and Susan were gracious hosts. It was just the property and vacation we were looking for!

Great host, great space, great time.
My wife and I had a glorious time staying at Rik and Susan's Casita. Every single part of the stay was perfect including the bed, outdoor living space and ease of walking to the beach or local markets/restaurants. Rik and Susan are great host and as enjoyable as the space. Looking forward to coming back in 2025!

The Casita at Casa de Las Olas
We had the best time in Tamarindo and especially at Rik and Susan’s home. Couldn’t have been more happy with the hospitality and the property itself. The pool and tropical backyard was the icing on the cake plus only a 3-5 min walk across the street to the breathtaking beach. We look forward to coming back ASAP!

Beautiful studio on quiet side of Tamarindo
Lovely studio that is very well appointed and has everything you need. Rik and Susan are easy to work with and have done a beautiful job taking care of the property. They have a wealth of information regarding Tamarindo and the surrounding area. The beach (Tamarindo) is very accessible and just a few steps away. We love that we are close to Tamarindo beach to hit the waves and Langosta beach (a short walk) to find seashells and the tide pools are fun to explore. We loved the restaurant next door. The pool area is very lush and beautiful. The pool was so nice to take a quick dip to cool off. It was a bit hot for us, but Rik and Susan can’t control the weather sadly (LOL). Also, the sun comes into the windows very early so bring an eye mask if you need it to be dark to sleep. We hope to return soon!

About the host

Hosted by R. C. Grencik

Host profile image
I'm an old "Surf Rat" who has spent a vast majority of my time traveling the globe looking for waves. In 2009 I retired from the Fire Service. Like everyone, I've had some challenges, but I keep a smile on my face most of the time and laugh at myself fairly often.

Why they chose this property

I purchased this property in 1987, which was long before Tamarindo was "discovered"- literally, there was nothing there. I built the home between 1992 and 2000. Since I was intimately involved in all phases of the construction, and Tamarindo was quite primitive at the time, I had to bring down most of the materials i.e., plumbing, electrical, etc. in Rubbermaid plastic bins. Even though I have been active in my life, the construction and logistics of building this home was one of the most challenging things I've ever done.

Since I've spent a fair bit of my time chasing waves in the backyards of the world, I knew that one day I wanted to retire in the Tropics and Tamarindo seemed to be a good place. Although it's changed dramatically over the years, Tamarindo is still a great place to kick back and enjoy life.

Along with my previous construction experience, Susan and I took on the grand project of remodeling the backyard into a real tropical paradise that includes a pool, tropical garden, large rancho, and lounging spaces. It turns out our timing was a bit off - the 2022 rainy season in Costa Rica was the heaviest it had been since 1948. It turned a 3 month project into a 6+ month project - that's the bad news. The good news is that it is now complete and ready for YOU !! We are looking forward to sharing the final product with you !!!

What makes this property unique

Overall, probably one of the best locations and places to stay in Tamarindo, especially when you consider all of the included essential and comfort amenities and very short walk to the a beautiful beach. Guests have the use of two surfboards, two boogie boards, two bicycles, a SUP, a pool, a private outdoor tropical shower, and all the modern indoor conveniences and comforts. So no matter what you prefer, whether it's surfing, lounging in the pool, or laying in the Hammock, this is the place people continue to return.
