3BR luxury villa in Playa Langosta

Family friendly Luxury Villa in Playa Langosta - Villas for Rent in Playa Langosta, Provincia de Guanacaste, Costa Rica

The location is genuinely special. Playa Langosta right across the street, quiet and uncrowded, while Tamarindo’s restaurants and nightlife are a short drive away or even walk. The house is charming with real character, and could easily be a premium experience. The gap between potential and reality is noticeable though. The house is lived in by the owners and it shows. Cluttered, surfaces not properly cleaned, greasy kitchen, persistent sewage odor in the second floor bathroom from day one, and a clogged shower drain that was never resolved despite reporting it. AC units are old and noisy. A curtain rod fell off the wall when simply opened. Maria Paula is responsive on messaging but does not resolve much at distance. Plus relies exclusively on what her maid unilaterally says Listing photos don’t reflect current condition. The property has real potential but needs a serious deep clean and maintenance attention that matches its price point. Other reviews say the same. We echo them

This is our home and for this reason guests get access to things that are not normally available in vacation rentals. We advertise it as a family friendly home- we offer guests toys, children’s books, pool toys, bike, scooter, craft stuff, board games, gates for stairs, high chair, crib… things that if you have children you will appreciate. Now, all this is stored throughout the house where things live (in drawers, baskets, cabinets, etc). We don’t leave clutter on the surfaces and we also remove all our personal stuff like clothes, bathroom things, nightstands, groceries, etc. Because we live here, in the kitchen you will find all kinds of cooking utensils and a drawer with spices, unlike some vacation rentals that have the absolute basic things. When we arrived home after this booking we also noticed the smell these guests mention, it was coming from the water in the shower. This is not something that had ever happened before. A plumber came to check and he said this was not a situation of just this house but because it was super high season (easter) and there was water shortage in the area, the water that was coming from the water company was from the bottom of the tanks and was coming in smelly. After a few days the water returned to normal. In other high seasons this has not happened so I’m unsure what this was about. In the kitchen we have reverse osmosis filters for cooking and drinking so it was upstairs that the water was smelly. Since the time the photos were taken we have done work to the house so I agree that the photos don’t show everything accurately. For example, we worked on the bathrooms and now they are way more modern and nice. The AC units are not old, they have all been replaced within the last 4 years and depending on the setting you have them on and the fan intensity they will be louder or quieter. The curtain rod had been fine for 5 years and the fact that it fell for them is unfortunate but it’s not because of bad quality or lack of maintenance, random things like this can happen in any house. We feel disappointed that these guests found our home didn’t meet their standards. We live in a beautiful part of the world and when we travel we choose to share it with other families. We proud ourselves for having a nice home and we do our best to keep it in good shape, clean and welcoming for our guests. We have a 4.82 star rating on Airbnb (even after their bad review) and we appear as a “guest favorite” so for these guests to say that with this review they are echoing what other guests have said is simply unfair and untrue. We encourage potential guests to actually read through all our other glowing reviews before making up their minds.

Stayed with my family (including 2 children )- great location, across the street from beach and walking distance to many restaurants. We felt very safe and had a fantastic time.

Amazing villa and perfect for families. Great location close to playa langosta and short walk to the quiet side of playa Tamarindo. The home was very clean, well equipped, and comfortable. The Private Pool was the perfect size for our family. (with our children being 11, 7, 5 and 3 years old) Pool had lots of kids toys and was a great way to cool down. BBQ offered a quick way to cook up some food in between activities and during down time. Overall we had an incredible time and created great memories here. We visit Costa Rica annually and will definitely see if Marias Villa is available next year. Highly recommend this place.

Location is great for peaceful mind and access to a beautiful beaches. Nice neighborhood.

This villa was absolutely stunning and truly the highlight of our trip. Having a beautiful beach right next door at Playa Langosta was such a bonus, and we spent so much time enjoying the pool as well. The villa is about a 20-minute walk into Tamarindo for dinner and drinks, which we found really convenient. We also loved that the property is gated and felt very safe throughout our stay. Overall, a 10/10 experience and we would highly recommend staying here.

We had a great time staying here in Playa Langosta. Maria Paula was a great host and easy to communicate with, and she helped us with anything we needed during our stay. The house was exactly as described—comfortable, clean, and perfect for our stay. We would definitely recommend this place and would be happy to stay again.

The place has a very unique and beautiful look to it. The gated area getting to the house is also very beautiful and quite secure. The house itself seems to be quite old now and many things inside(floors, appliances, sinks, etc) are weathered and a little dirty. The photos on the listing don’t match the home because they were taken when the place was built at the beginning. Besides that the home is very comfortable and relaxing to be in. There are 4 heat pumps in the house allowing guests to cool down the rooms(otherwise it’s humid and hot). The pool in the backyard was the highlight for our group. Coming back to the Airbnb after a day at the beach and in the sun, and then getting into the wonderfully cooled pool in our backyard was quite the relief. The showers and bathrooms worked well with hot water but were weathered. Maria Paula is a great host and responds very quickly and accommodated our group well whenever we needed something. Overall I’d rate the place a 4/5 stars.

Paula was amazing and she truly went above and beyond to accommodate!

Paula was an amazing host who helped us a lot during our wonderful two month stay. The house was full of toys and the neighborhood very friendly.

We had a great stay at Villa Tranquila. The home looked exactly like the pictures and was a comfortable place. We loved having our own pool. The house is right across the street from the beach, just walk across the road and down a very short path. Each room had their own AC unit and some worked better than others, but all worked well enough. We didn't cook much, but the kitchen seemed well equipped. The washer and dryer worked. The complex was gated and secure. Paula is a fantastic host and she was very responsive to us both before we arrived and during our stay. She provided many recommendations for activities, etc. The wifi was out when we arrived and she was helpful in trying to resolve it. It turned out to be a problem with the service provider, so we didn't have wifi for 3 days, which I think is unusual for this house. If you rent golf carts during your stay, MAKE SURE THEY ARE GAS. We ended up with electric and it was nearly impossible to charge them at the house.

The villa was one of the places we were most looking forward to staying at, and it was in a great, safe location and was very aesthetically nice. It is right across from one of the access points for Playa Langosta and walking distance to restaurants. The only issue we had was with the AC unfortunately every day we were here (3 nights). Though the host was responsive and did replace the unit for the last night, for the high amount we paid, not having a working AC in the top master bedroom and then having all of the ACs shut off in the middle of our last night without any possibility to fix in 80-88 degree weather, made sleeping well difficult. Also take note the fourth bed is a sofa bed near clear glass French doors visible to the master bedroom. Additionally, the parking is in the rear and was difficult for our driver to access. Overall, the host was responsive and tried her best to clear up the issue.

Everything was managed and Paula’s response was immediate. Outdoor shower was an added luxury! Furniture and beds comfortable. She even had a little Christmas tree for us to enjoy. Good air conditioning. Well appointed kitchen. Bathrooms excellent. I would stay there again!

This was the first time to be in the Tamarindo area and Paula’s property made the time there very comfortable.  It is spacious, clean, comfortable, and quiet.  The pool was a great place to finish the day.  Paula was very resonsive to questions.  Her list of places and recommendations in the house was very helpful.  I would highly recommend staying here.

An incredible oasis across the street from the beach! Highly recommend Paula’s place. Gated and quiet community, walkable to restaurants and bars, and about a 15 minute walk into Tamarindo. Tandoor Indian, Langosta Bistro, and the Surf bar were all within a 2-3 minute walk with great food! We will be coming back!

We had a great time at Paula's place! Wonderfully private, with lovely pool, the house is tastefully decorated and very comfortable, has a great homey and lovely and such a luxury to be so close to the beach and a little "off the more busy Tamarindo" which one can anyways reach by foot in 20 minutes. Paula always responded immediately and was helpful with recommendation and helping us along. We much preffered the Langosta location to Tamarindo, which is more touristy. Highly recommended!

Paula’s place is fantastic. Paula is fantastic. Like any place there were small issues but Paula was always super responsive and helpful in each and every way.  She was practically our concierge making reservations for rides to and from the airport, making helpful suggestions for places to visit, restaurants and so much more! The internet is fiber and fast. Each bedroom was air conditioned, had a ceiling fan, had its own full bathroom (with its own ceiling fan) and was large enough to have a work station in addition to the bed plus ample storage and it’s own smart tv. The pool area is lovely, the kitchen is well stocked, the outdoor grill is great. The villa is located in a courtyard of ten similar villas. They each have their own parking spot that are deep enough for two cars. Through the locked front gate and across the street is an “Alimeda” pathway down to a lovely beach where the neighborhood gathers each evening to watch the sunset or swim. Highly recommend!!!

We stayed at Paula’s place for 4 nights.  It was really nice and clean with a well appointed kitchen.  We we able to cook up our fresh caught Mahi Mahi on the grill.  The pool was clean and the perfect temperature to be refreshing but not cold.  A bigger couch would have been nice and the beds were much harder than we are used to. Paula gave great directions and recommendations for restaurants and other activities in the area.  The beach across the street is not really swimmable unless you walk down by the Occidental and swim near that river.  We walked into Tamarindo and it was quite a hike with littles in the heat.  Tamarindo beach was great for swimming and there were lots of great restaurants and bars right on the beach or strip.  If you are looking to get a golf cart make sure to do that well in advance.  We weren’t able to rent one as every place was sold out.  Overall, we enjoyed our stay. Paula is a wonderful, responsive host.

We had a wonderful time at Paula’s place!

Amazing Villa across from the beach. The kids loved the pool

Paula's place was great! As advertised. Playa Langosta is very nice, and much quieter than Tamarindo. Very happy we chose this location which is still walking distance to Tamarindo. Some great restaurants (El Sapo, Langosta Bistro, Fish & Cheese) in Langosta and a small grocery store that is a 2 minute walk. The beach across the road is great. There is an awesome river that goes into the ocean... cross the river and you're basically on an excluded beach. My boys took surfing lessons in Tamarindo and we rented boards for the week. What a blast. Rented a golf cart and that came in handy so highly recommended. Note - make sure you get a gas cart (vs electric), we learned the hard way. We did a week in Playa Del Coco and a week in Playa Langosta and although we enjoyed both, we did prefer Langosta and Paula's house. All in all, highly recommended!

Thanks Sean, we appreciate your review and your comments. We’ll check the wine glasses and get a second gas bottle so guests don’t ran out of gas again. Apologies for that. Hope your family comes to stay at our place again.

We had a wonderful stay in Paula’s beautiful home. The location is fantastic and very quiet and peaceful, but close to the hustle and bustle of Tamarindo. Beach access is directly across street and the pool area is beautiful. Paula was extremely helpful and provided lots of tips and guidance. This is an excellent stay for a family!

Amazing place in an amazing location. We are so happy that we picked this spot and will definitely be back. Super spacious, clean and private. Could have stayed in the villa the whole trip. Thank you!!!

La casa esta bien cuidada, esta limpia y muy cómoda. La comunicación con la anfitriona fue fácil, y tuvimos un imprevisto que pudo solucionar rápidamente. Muy recomendada.

Amazing place and super responsive and helpful host.  The location is great with easy access to downtown Tamarindo and Playa Langosta! Would definitely stay again!!!

Great location and great house! Fully stocked with towels and plates/cups etc. Nice pool, close walk to beaches. No complaints at all, the host was great, she was always available by text and even got us a kettle the next day...

La casa es muy linda y cómoda tiene todo lo que uno necesita y está super cerca de la playa lo que la hace super conveniente. La piscina es ideal para refrescarse y descansar. El condominio y la zona son muy seguras. Nos encantó sin duda volveríamos.

Our stay in Playa Langosta was fabulous and this villa was the perfect location.  The home was extremely comfortable and plenty of room for our family of 6.  We were traveling with our four kids with a variety of ages (18, 16, 12 and 7) and the villa was perfect. The beds were extremely comfortable and every bathroom and shower was great.  The pool was beautiful and the four kids had a ton of fun swimming before and after our days adventures.   Paula was a fabulous host and extremely responsive throughout our trip and quickly problem solved any hiccups we had along the way.  The employees on the grounds were also very friendly.  Paula was also  really wonderful at guiding us towards  activities and amenities (restaurants, markets etc).   The beach is a two minute walk away across the street and it was gorgeous for morning walks and sunset.   This location was so close to Tamarindo but really wonderful because it is not crowded like Tamarindo can get.  We were a 20 minute walk to Tamarindo (we walked mostly along the road but at low tide you can walk along the beach, although that is a bit longer).   We also often took the car to Tamarindo and that was a quick five minute drive.  We spent time at many different beaches and our favorite was  a recommendation that came from Paula.  We experienced a fabulous waterfall hike (about two hours away) and Zip lining experience (about 1 hour away).  Our four wheel drive car came in handy for that.   We would 100% recommend a stay here and we are so appreciative for all of Paula's assistance and quick responses throughout our travel planning stage and during our stay.

We were looking for a nice private villa to spend some quality family time while having a relaxing time - and that's exactly what we got. Amazing house with a private pool and all the amenities you need for a relaxing getaway. Conveniently located within a 5min walk to the beach and right next to Tamarindo... but not that close to being in the middle of the craziness of Tamarindo town. The best host and super responsive to any question we had. All in all - ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.

Paula was a great host and very easy to communicate with.

Todo estaba perfecto y limpio, el lugar es super lindo y la ubicación es excelente. Paula se porto super bien, muy atenta y servicial.

Amazing place and amazing location! The Villa is clean, spacious, the backyard is amazing, and the WiFi is great. It’s also outside of Tamarindo, which is an awesome escape from how loud and messy it gets in town. It’s across the street from a beautiful beach, which we visited during the day and at night. We’ll stay here again on the next trip.

Maravilloso lugar! Una casa maravillosa, con una excelente distribución! Ubicación perfecta! A menos de 100 metros de la playa! Cerca de excelentes restaurantes, tiendas de conveniencia y más, pero con privacidad. Un lugar muy seguro. Lo repetiría sin pensarlo dos veces. Wonderful place! A wonderful house, with an excellent layout! Perfect location! Less than 100 meters from the beach! Close to great restaurants, convenience stores, and more, but with privacy. A very safe place. I would repeat it without thinking twice.

The place was really fun. We loved the pool and all the amenities in the property was new and the in great condition. The only problem was the sofa bed. It wasn’t comfortable and two of us sleeping there just didn’t really enjoy it. Other than that it’s a great place, located fairly close to town so you get to be near the happenings but also far enough for a quiet night. Neighbors were respectful and seemed like most of the units around were also rentals.
