We had a wonderful stay! Genna was a responsive, friendly, and incredibly helpful host. The location was great, with an easy walk to the beach and the added bonus of being able to see monkeys every day. There’s also a great Italian restaurant right across the street, which was so convenient. We didn’t utilize the beach club a lot during our stay, but it was really nice to have the option available. Genna’s recommendations were excellent and made our stay even better. Genna also went above and beyond when my son wasn’t feeling well before our flight back to the US. She kindly gave us ibuprofen and Tylenol, which we really appreciated. If we return to the area, we would definitely stay here again. Highly recommend!

We had a wonderful stay in this spacious 3 bedroom, 3 1/2 bath home. The house was spotless and everything felt fresh and well maintained. The location is fantastic-just a short walk to the beach so we could easily head out for morning walks or evening sunsets. The owners were very friendly and helpful throughout the stay. They messaged us to tell us about the 12 howler monkeys that were right out the front door in the trees. We had a great experience at Genna's place. Overall, a comfortable, clean, and convenient place that we would happily return to. Thank you for helping our first visit to Costa Rica be so memorable!

Our stay at Sandpiper was absolutely perfect. This was our second stay at the property and we came back for a reason. The house is exceptionally well designed and taken care of. The hosts are truly lovely and create a wonderful atmosphere and have good recommendations. What more can I say, we will be back.

Genna and family were excellent host and the property was just as excellent and fantastic! They made us feel totally at home from the first day to our last day. The property was great for the 3 of us with plenty of space, the pool was terrific, kitchen and utensils had everything we needed, beds/linens/pillows very comfortable, cleaning service did a great job and very convenient to the beach and having the beach club access was incredible. When we schedule our return visit will be back at Sandpiper! Thanks again to our host!

What a lovely stay! The house was close enough to the hustle & bustle, but tucked away enough to feel like an escape. We had some storms one night, and Genna and Sean were both checking in and making sure we all felt comfortable. The pool was perfect for a late afternoon cooldown. We also enjoyed having access to the Langosta Beach Club, and enjoyed a day by the shore in their chairs. Beds and bathrooms were everything we could have asked for! Great water pressure and plenty of hot water. We would definitely stay again, and will recommend to our friends. Thank you for everything!

Sandpiper is so lovely we felt so lucky to stay here! Beautiful home in prime location close to multiple beaches with super easy access through the community. Beach club pass is a great amenity because you will basically be guaranteed a prime location on Tamarindo beach with tasty food and a super lux pool! The villa itself is fantastic fully equipped kitchen great high end beds and a superb private pool/ backyard. My husband loved the many monkeys and birds in the area. Lastly the hosts were amazing going above and beyond with coffee tips and a yoga mat!

Fantastic Home. Great set up, well appointed, pool is awesome. Close to everything you need. Hosts are incredible and very helpful. The monkey's are abundant around the property, so much fun to watch them in the morning and the evening. Hosts gave great suggestions for restaurants, beaches and excursions. You can not go wrong with this home.

We had a wonderful stay at Gennas home. Really good location - walking distance to the main restaurants. We also got access to the beach club with the house rental. The beach club access was really helpful for our family. Thank you!

Really great hosts! Proactive and available. Home was super comfortable, especially the beds. Fully equipped, didn’t wish for anything at all. All systems worked well, especially the AC which was crucial as it was HOT! Pool area is on a semi busy street with some noise, but didn’t bother us when sleeping. Great walk ability to Tamarindo. Access to the beach club was CLUTCH. Short walk and nice pool, restaurant and beach area. Splurge on the cabana! Overall great stay.

Genna and Sean were just awesome hosts. They were so responsive, answered every question we had and more we didn't know we had! The house was excellent -- three bedrooms, four bathrooms, stocked kitchen, everything was incredibly comfortable. The pool was awesome and everything was walkable -- five minutes to the beach for sunset, across the street to Cheese and Fishes to pick up pizza and bottle of wine or gelato. Just a perfect location and excellent hosts. 10 stars and fully recommend.

The host felt it wasn’t necessary to have the air conditioning turned on and the house at a comfortable temperature upon our arrival (even though we communicated our arrival time). Unable to use the master bedroom the first night due to the heat and were told by the host it’s not their problem but to keep the bathroom doors closed to manage the temperature in the home. Would not recommend this home to anyone who wants to have an enjoyable trip in Tamarindo, Costa Rica

We LOVED this house!! Genna was a fantastic host and the location was perfect for us. Just a short walk to the beach and to many restaurants. Also, having access to the beach club was a really nice perk! The AC worked great, perfect pool, equipped kitchen! Would definitely stay here again!

Genna and Sean are the friendliest most responsive hosts I have ever encountered on Airbnb. We really enjoyed having them next door and able to answer our questions so quickly. The villa is very clean, well equipped and has excellent air con. They provide replacement toilet paper, paper towels, dish washer pucks and laundry soap which makes life a lot easier. We made good use of the gas barbecue and the very well stocked kitchen with plenty of dishes, glassware and even olive oil, spices etc. The Beach club access is very handy and less than one kilometer away with a beautiful pool, restaurant and lovely seating. We used the concierge service to book all our tours. The location is excellent. Quiet and safe but close to the action and restaurants downtown and so close to the beach. We saw more monkeys in the trees around our yard than we saw on any of our tours. The pizza from El Sapo right down the street was excellent as was the beach restaurant Tabu. Book now!
