VM1: Beachside Cottage Steps from the Shore - Houses for Rent in Tamarindo, Provincia de Guanacaste, Costa Rica

Nice house near downtown Tamarindo with a nice swimming pool. It was great!

Mooi huis vlakbij het centrum van Tamarindo met een lekker zwembad erbij. Was top!

Thank you so much for choosing to stay at an ORP property and we look forward to your return.

Very nice place to stay. Unfortunately, a little far from the beach.

Sehr schöne Unterkunft. Leider ein wenig weit vom Strand entfernt.

Extremely clean, beds were comfortable, kitchen had everything we needed.  Loved the washer and dryer.  Squeaky clean.  Close to everything.

This condo is beautiful. It has a beautiful pool and a very nice outdoor space. It is super comfortable and has everything you need to stay for several days. It's a few blocks from the beach, market, and restaurants.

Este condo es hermoso. Tiene una hermosa piscina y un muy lindo espacio para estar afuera. Es super cómodo y tiene todo lo necesario para estar varios dias. Está a pocas cuadras de la playa, mercado y restaurantes.

I had a great stay! The host was amazing and responded in less than 5 minutes every time I had a question. They were very communicative throughout the entire stay, which made everything so easy. The house was easy to find, and the check-in instructions were clear and simple to follow. Everything went smoothly from start to finish. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Costa Rica!

The photos matched the place. Everything was clean and the location was good, close to everything and about 5 minutes from the beach.

Las fotos coincidieron con el lugar. Estaba todo limpio y la ubicacion fue buena, cerca de todo a unos 5 min de la playa.

Villa Mariposa was perfect for me and my daughter. It was clean and right across the street from the Moonlight Market on Thursday. The pool was refreshing and clean. I would definitely book here again. We had a great stay.

Very nice house; everything was thought of. It was clean and tidy. The location is perfect; you can walk straight to restaurants or to the beach. But otherwise, it's wonderfully quiet in the house.

Heel fijn huis, aan alles was gedacht. Het was schoon en netjes. De locatie is perfect, je kan zo naar restaurantjes lopen of naar het strand. Maar verder is het in het huis heerlijk rustig.

Great small home for 2-4 people. Private. Perfect location away but very close to downtown.

Great location, comfortable beds and space along with a great host easy to communicate with! Nice pool to use as well.

Place was a dream !! Very peaceful . Will return for sure .

The villa was wonderful, as advertised and had everything we wanted. It was within walking distance to the beach and restaurant/ entertainment districy. We thouroughly enjoyed our stay.

We had such a wonderful stay here in Tamarindo. The home was beautiful, comfortable, and had everything we needed to make our time relaxing and easy. We especially loved all the great amenities and the welcoming feel of the place. The location couldn’t have been better. It was an easy walk to groceries, shops, restaurants, and the beach, which made it so convenient to enjoy everything Tamarindo has to offer. After a day in the sun and ocean, it was the perfect place to come back to and unwind. Cliff & Felicia Clif Cliff & Felicia Cliff We truly enjoyed our time here and would happily stay again. Highly recommend this home to anyone visiting Tamarindo!

Great place and was fully equipped with all we needed!  Many walkable restaurants and the pool was perfect for our family.  Rented a golf cart which was a great addition especially with young kids.  Would absolutely stay here again!

This chalet is welcoming and warm. The terrace is really nice to eat on. We were very comfortable for four adults. A seven-minute walk from downtown and the beach. Everything is easily and quickly accessible. There are several restaurants a two-minute walk from the house.

Ce chalet est accueillant et chaleureux. La terrasse est vraiment agréable pour y manger. Nous avons été très confortable pour quatre adultes. À sept minutes de marche, du centre-ville et de la plage. Tout est accessible facilement et rapidement. Il y a plusieurs restos à deux minutes à pied de la maison.

I LOVED this place. Very walkable to restaurants, the beach and the little town. The location is next to the Thursday street market which is a must!!! I noticed many similar locations were condos and I loved that this was an actual house with my own cute backyard. I will definitely book again

We stayed here at the start of high season, when most nearby places were very expensive, and this home ended up being an excellent value by comparison. The amenities were fantastic, especially the bathrooms and kitchen, which were modern, clean, and well equipped. The private backyard was a real highlight, with plenty of space to relax and a shared pool. The location couldn’t have been better: an easy walk to both the beach and town, with lots of shops and restaurants along the way. During our stay there were also several temporary markets set up right across the street, which was a fun and convenient bonus. We felt very safe throughout our stay, both around the house at night and walking around town in general. The property felt secure and well maintained. Transportation was also seamless. The host’s recommended transport companies made it easy to get to and from the airport and even to a jungle adventure. Overall, this was a comfortable, well-located, and great-value stay.

The interior of the property is well maintained, and has a good cook’s kitchen — well-equipped, and easy to work in. I left a few extra items behind to add for future guests. Staff was very friendly. A few maintenance issues that impacted my stay. Both shower heads are so clogged and water pressure so weak that one can’t rinse shampoo out of your hair. It was very frustrating. The backyard could use better furniture for the price point. Mostly, as a woman traveling alone, the location felt too isolated. It isn’t realistically walkable at night — the road is very dark, and you’re very much on your own. My biggest concern was security. Every window has bars, yet the only lock on the front door is a keypad that multiple people have the code for (maintenance and cleaners + more). There’s no deadbolt or slide lock, which means you can’t actually secure the door from the inside at night. I felt unsafe and checked out early. Pool is too shallow for laps which was a major disappointment.

It’s very quiet and cosy place, only a few minutes walking from centre of Tamarindo. Management was very friendly and helpful. We had a great time there.

Brilliant stay at this property! Off the back of 3 crazy weeks in the USA so was nice to get down here and unwind! Place was immaculate and in a good location, days by the pool were bliss! Also if you fancy a top meal, the Indian down the road (ethnic naans and curries) was absolutely banging peeps! Stay healthy stay lucky, in a bit x

We had the best stay at this home!! It was quiet, and perfect walking distance into Tamarindo while being just outside of the hustle and bustle of downtown! Would definitely stay again!

We stayed here for 3 nights. The place was very nice and within walking sustance to amazing restaurants, shopping, and the beach. Will definitely stay here again.

We stayed for 11 nights.  As described except the only shared space is the pool area.  Backyard is private and bbq/eating area also private.  Close to everything.  Loved this place and would definitely return!

The properties we stayed at were clean, beautiful, and were at a great location. We had problems with the WiFi one of the days but the host worked with us and we moved to a different property which was so kind of them! Everything was great and we had a great experience!

Nice place to stay, very comfortable, friendly people.

We had a wonderful stay at this villa! As a group of four girls, we felt very safe the entire time the gated community added a great sense of security, and the villa itself was cozy, clean, and comfortable. There was plenty of space for all of us, with two lovely outdoor areas where we could relax, eat, and hang out. The shared pool was nice, and we rarely saw anyone else using it, so it felt almost private. The hosts were incredibly responsive and helpful. They made check-in easy, even accommodating our request for an early arrival, and were always easy to reach. They also helped us arrange transport from Tamarindo to La Fortuna, which made our trip even smoother. Overall, we’d definitely recommend staying here everything was convenient, relaxing, and safe!

Our stay was excellent, a very central area, El Vindi is 4min by car, access to the Villa very well, we were 4 girls and we felt quite safe in the place. The kitchen is quite equipped, the cleanliness of the Villa was very good, the beds are very comfortable, we hope to return when we are in Tamarindo again.

Nuestra estancia estuvo excelente, una zona muy céntrica, El Vindi está a 4min en carro, el acceso a la Villa muy bien, éramos 4 chicas y nos sentimos bastante seguras en el lugar. La cocina bastante equipada, la limpieza de la Villa estaba muy bien, las camas muy cómodas, esperamos volver cuando estemos en Tamarindo de nuevo.

Great location. Walkable to all the action of Tamarindo but a nice quiet place to come home to. The house was very clean, the grounds are well kept and the management was super helpful and quick to address any issues. We would definitely stay here again:)

This is a great place to stay if you are ever in Tamarindo! The house was so clean and had such a cozy vibe, especially the backyard at night! The pool was nice and this really was only a 5 minute walk to downtown, which made our whole trip way easier! If I ever came back to Tamarindo, this is definitely where I would stay:)

I couldn’t recommend this house enough! It is comfortable, spacious and in a great location!! It’s located at the end of the strip, so about a 10 minute walk from the beach, but it’s ideal because it is easy and safe to walk to and from the bars at night, but quiet enough you aren’t disturbed by the noise. It’s also in a gated community which gives an extra sense of security. The tamarindo night market on Thursday is also located right across the street which is fun (ends by 10!). It’s also really nice to have a full kitchen for preparing meals, and a pool to take a dip into whenever you don’t feel like walking down to the beach. The washer and dryer was also a huge plus! We also were able to see the family of neighborhood monkeys which was a fun addition. I will definitely stay here again!

Fantastic stay.  Comfortable. Great host.  Super responsive.  An air conditioning unit failed and they had someone out to fix it the same day I called.  Good location. A little 8-10 min walk to the beach and lots of restaurants even closer than that.  Grocery 5 min walk away.  Great stay in a great town.  Couldn’t have been more satisfied.

Enjoyed stay in Tamarindo. Condo was in a secure complex with friendly neighbors. Walking distance to beach, restaurants, and shops. Would recommend highly with ease and comfort or accommodations.

Outer Reefs description of the property was missing some details that other guests might appreciate. This doesn’t make it a bad location or property but sleeping is important to me. The 2nd bedrooms mattress was very uncomfortable and could have used some pillow options. If it’s not a big deal to you , grab the accent pillows off the couch . The kitchen is well supplied other than a kettle but apparently kettles are hard to find in CR. Lovely neighborhood and great pool! If you’re thinking the beach is steps away …. Here’s a peak into what steps actually mean : If you're walking at a brisk pace, you could reach around 1,800 steps, and if you're walking slowly, it might be closer to 1,200 steps. It’s approximately 15 minute walk with barely a sidewalk….but definitely worth the walk to town and the beach. Hope that helps.

Thank you so much for choosing to stay at an ORP property and we look forward to your return. We would have loved to have known more pillows were needed, we were not notified of this during your stay and would have been more than happy to have a guest coordinator bring some by. We hope that upon your next stay with us the improvements we have made will earn us the five star review we always strive for. Pura Vida!

Our stay at the villa was great. Upon arrival there was a nice welcome basket with fruit and snacks. The place was just as described, very clean and with everything necessary in it. Beds were comfy, location is quiet and away from the hussle and busssle, and yet only a 10 min walk down to the beach. Great stay. Thank you!

The place is very comfortable, nice, clean. The very good location.

El lugar muy cómodo, bonito, limpio. La ubicación muy buena.
