Our stay was absolutely amazing! Cris was an incredible host and concierge, with fantastic recommendations that made our trip unforgettable. Nicol, our wonderful house mom, spoiled us every morning with delicious breakfasts, kept the margaritas flowing, and took such great care of us throughout our stay. Their warmth, hospitality, and attention to detail made this vacation truly special. We can't wait to come back!

Overall positive experience. Cristina was helpful before our trip as we made plans by connecting us with vendors. She was also on site to greet us and show us the ropes when we arrived. The house is walking distance to town so that was convenient. The house mom during our stay was excellent. She did an amazing job cooking and cleaning each day. She was super friendly and helpful. We did lose power for a few hours one of the nights which is something they could have better prepared for. Outside of that, it was a nice property to host my birthday trip.

I’ve stayed in Tamarindo many many times and this is by far the best place I’ve stayed to date. Easy to find. Responsive host made sure we had everything we needed. The place was clean and fully equipped. Great layout and location close to everything. The pool is amazing, the staff is friendly. But the best thing for my group by far was our house mom Keylin. She was amazing and took great care of us. This is an A+ listing from top to bottom

What a house, what a location! We were 5 couples +1, and we never felt even a lilttle bit crowded. The house was spotless, comfortable, and tons of fun. Location is just perfect and close to town (although I highly recommend getting golf carts) but honestly you could spend all your time at the house and be perfectly content. We did have am issue with the water heater one day, but Cris and team had it fixed that day. Speaking pf which, Cris is amazing. So responsive and helpful, lean om her for local advice for sure! And Ani the housekeeper was incredible. I highly recommend having her whip up a traditional Costa Rican breakfast for your group, it's off the charts good. Can't speal highly enough of our stay and the great team that made it happen.

What a great find. After much research and internet searching, I decided on a place in Tamarindo for a month-long vacation. Cabana de Playa did not disappoint. Loved the house. Great layout. Beautiful property. Concierge Cris was fantastic. Very attentive and communicative. Great suggestions for where to go and what to do, including 2 different in-home chefs. House “mom” Ani was amazing. Kind and never without a smile on her face. Just pure sunshine. Resident outside cat Suki was entertaining. It was a great month with so many wonderful memories.

I had an absolutely amazing time at this property! From start to finish, everything exceeded expectations. Cris was incredibly helpful—not just before our arrival but even after our stay, which made everything seamless and stress-free. Ani, our house mom, was truly a bundle of joy. Her warm presence and the way she kept the house in order made us feel cared for and comfortable every single day. Waking up to a delicious breakfast each morning was such a thoughtful and memorable touch. The location of the house is unbeatable—secluded enough to feel completely private and peaceful, yet just an 8-minute walk down the hill puts you right in the heart of town. It was the perfect balance. This trip wasn’t just a celebration for me—it became a core memory for all of us. I’m so grateful for the experience and everything this stay provided. Thank you for creating a space that we’ll remember and cherish for the rest of our lives. I absolutely recommend this stay.

We LOVED our stay at this amazing property!! There was plenty of room inside for our group of 12, but we spent basically all of our time outside enjoying the beautiful pool and terrace. The property was very clean, felt very safe, and was absolutely gorgeous, nestled up in the trees!! Cris was incredibly helpful and helped us schedule all sorts of things that made our stay feel extra special - a house mom who would make breakfast in the mornings, drinks and snacks in the afternoon and then clean up as well. Plus Cris helped us rent golf carts (it's a 10-15 minute walk into town and to the beach but the golf carts were just so fun!), as well as an Estuary Tour, Catamaran Sunset Cruise, chefs, and a family photographer to commemorate the grandparents' 50th anniversary celebration. We went all out for our special family celebration and it did not disappoint. I hope we can come back someday, we loved it all so much!

The place was very spacious and beautiful. 6 bedrooms all with a private bathroom, 2 kitchens each fully stocked and with half bathroom attached to each. Pool area was lovely and the pool was kept clean, upstairs patio was great as well although we did not use it much. Host takes security very seriously and we felt safe the entire time, when we accidentally triggered alarm system security was there to check on us within minutes. Chris was responsive and accommodating, she helped resolve any maintenance concerns swiftly. Annie was absolutely lovely and took amazing care of the house, kept it very clean for us and prepared delicious smoothies and snacks. I would say the only inconvenience was having limited access to laundry, only between 8-4 when Annie was around. Our stay was peaceful and relaxing, construction noise was minimal and did not disturb us much. Location is convenient and within walking distance to shopping, restaurants and beach. Amazing space for a big group.
