3BR Villa in Playa Tamarindo

Mavaton

Good, 4 weeks ago

The location is nice but we felt very alone at the end of the street. They do have security that checks the road, but it is the beach side that is open. We had no problems but again it was pretty desolate. I’m sure when the other houses around this one are occupied, it may feel less ‘alone.’

Host Response

Thank you for your feedback! We're glad you enjoyed the location. Playa Junquillal is known for its peaceful and quiet atmosphere, which many guests love. This time of year is especially calm, so you often have the beach almost entirely to yourself. During the high season, many more homes are occupied, and the area feels much livelier. We're happy to hear you felt safe during your stay, and we hope to welcome you back again!

September visit: Location was VERY peaceful. Only saw one other person on the beach. The beach was really picturesque & walkable, but not at all inviting (or perceptibly safe) to swim (steep beach, deep water, heavy beach break, strong rips - & I’m a surfer). Mosquito (rainy) season was in force, thus pool & bbq area were inhospitable. Top floor w hot tub was great as long as the wind kept mosquitoes at bay. Rainy season cloud cover kept the top floor cool (there’s no shade). I suspect the pool would be very enjoyable during the dry season whereas the top floor would be an oven. The master bed & bath were comfortable. The kitchen was well equipped & capable. The little dining area was nice with a good table & views. But the adjoining living room area desperately needs a furniture facelift. Neither the couch nor 2 chairs were comfortable to hang out in. Also, I suspect the living room space would be very crowded with more than 2 adults hanging about. Overall good experience

Thank you for your detailed feedback! We're glad you enjoyed the peaceful location and the comfort of the master bed and kitchen. We appreciate your thoughts on the pool, top floor, and living room, and we'll definitely take those into consideration for future improvements. Hope to host you again during the dry season!

we enjoyed our time here, the house is in a great location for privacy and is pretty remote. the views from the roof top were amazing. loved all the greenery on the property, like living in a jungle, but be warned the mosquitos were really bad. the beach was nice to walk and the estuary down the road made for some good exploring. be sure to check out the turtle hatchery. the rental company was wonderful to deal with and very attentive. a welcome basket with treats and coffee were a nice touch. would love to return some day.

Thank you so much for your kind words! We're glad you enjoyed the privacy, nature, and rooftop views. It was a pleasure hosting you, and we'd love to welcome you back anytime!

Absolutely gorgeous, extremely comfortable and clean. Very receptive to questions. LOVED the lightening storms from the roof each night and waking up to the ocean waves. The crabs were amazing. Bummed we didn't get to see the monkeys; maybe next time. The road is definitely full of potholes the last 2 miles so glad we had a4 wheel drive, but going slow any car likely would have worked. Definitely stock up on groceries before coming into town but there are little stores if you forget something. Could easily have stayed at the house the entire time without going out to see other things, but we enjoyed the zipline and night market. A few earlier reviews had me mildly worried about safety, but use common sense and all the security measures they provide and we felt 100% safe. Would definitely stay here again :-)

I stayed at Casa Alegre with my husband and our two young daughters. The beach was amazing, and the view was spectacular! The home was very clean and peaceful, and we loved taking walks along the beach. We felt very safe at the property while still enjoying a wonderful sense of remoteness. Although we didn’t use the pool, we did enjoy the rooftop tub during the day—it was fantastic! We also appreciated how quiet the area was, with a great restaurant (Bernardo’s) just down the road, a great local grocery store and many other things to do less than an hour away. The only challenge for us was the layout of the home. The downstairs bedrooms have exterior entries, which made it difficult for our kids to have their own rooms inside the main house. We were able to make it work, but for families with very young children (a toddler and an infant), this layout might not be ideal. That said, we still very much enjoyed our stay. Chiara was an amazing host! She was responsive and very helpful!!

Thank you for the lovely review! We're so glad you and your family enjoyed the peaceful vibe, beach walks, and rooftop tub at Casa Alegre. We appreciate your note about the layout—it’s helpful for future guests.

Casa Alegre was the perfect spot for our family vacation. It was exactly as described; great house that allows for privacy from each other when needed, a private location and yet and not too far from grocery and restaurants. Chiara was a wonderful host and gave excellent instructions and advice. We can’t wait to come back!

We are still on cloud nine after an absolutely SUBLIME stay at Casa Alegre! Chiara was incredibly helpful and responsive throughout our entire stay, and the house and surroundings were exactly as magical as described. We chose to rent a car at the airport as we planned to do a lot of exploration during our stay, and getting around was not a problem at all as long as you plan for slower traffic pretty much everywhere. If we ever plan another trip to this part of Costa Rica, we would stay here again without a second thought.

Thank you for your amazing review! We're so happy to hear you had a sublime stay at Casa Alegre. We'd love to host you again whenever you're back in Costa Rica!

Beautiful retreat for relaxation. The roof top space was our favorite spot to take in the sunrise at the beach and hot tub by moonlight. It was private and fairly secluded. I would recommend a rental vehicle as the road is long and winding. We felt very secure with the gated driveway and other security features. We would absolutely stay here again!

Host Response

Thank you for your kind words! We're so glad you enjoyed the rooftop space, sunrises, and the hot tub. We appreciate your recommendation and look forward to welcoming you back!

A charming house at the beach with all the facilities you can ask for. First class host service from Chiara with a lot of good help and info throughout the entire stay. The house is situated right at the beach, waking up to the waves rolling up the beach was amazing with a fresh pacific breeze. We enjoyed the lush green garden and the bbq by the pool. The roof top offers a scenic sunset view and a great hideaway from the moscitos. We enjoyed our stay to its fullest with long strolls at the beach and cold drinks on the roof top.

My stay at Georgina's Airbnb was an absolute delight! If you're looking for a place to experience the beach while enjoying breathtaking views and unique local attractions, this is the perfect spot. The location is ideal – away from the hustle and bustle of touristy areas, yet close enough to experience the charm of Tamarindo. The beach is just a stone's throw away, providing a serene backdrop for relaxation. What I loved most was the abundance of small corner stores and sodas within a 15-minute drive. It made exploring the local flavors and grabbing essentials a breeze. Georgina's recommendations were spot-on, and the convenience added to the overall enjoyment of my stay. The Airbnb itself is a gem, offering a comfortable retreat with all the necessary amenities. Clean, well-maintained, and with a touch of local charm, it truly felt like a home away from home. The attention to detail in the decor and the thoughtful touches by Georgina added a personalized touch to the experience.
