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!

The host and house mom staff were fabulous. Highly recommend the facility

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.

Thank you for the wonderful comments, Addie! We're so glad to hear that Cristina was helpful and that you enjoyed both the home and the housemom's services. The power outage that evening was certainly unfortunate. We do provide flashlights in the home for situations like these, but we truly appreciate the feedback and are always looking for ways to improve the guest experience. We hope to welcome you back to Costa Rica again soon!

We stayed for a weekend, walking distance from tamarindo night life, great service really appreciated Nicole's help keeping everything clean and serving us breakfast.

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.

We booked this home on a whim after our original resort fell short—and it turned out to be the best decision we made. The house is stunning, spacious, and perfect for a large group, but what truly made the experience unforgettable was the incredible team. Cris, the concierge, went above and beyond—helping us with transfers, private chefs, golf cart rentals, local restaurant recs, and more. She personally welcomed us, walked us through the property, and made every detail effortless. Ani, the house mom, was just as amazing—cooking delicious breakfasts, doing laundry, keeping everything spotless, and bringing such warmth and joy to each day. Thanks to them, what started as a stressful situation turned into the perfect celebration for my parents’ 50th anniversary. We felt so cared for, and every detail was handled with love. The property is amazing, but the people are what put it over the top. If you're visiting Tamarindo, this is the place. Don’t hesitate—you’ll be so glad you booked it!

An amazing place to stay in Tamarindo! The pool area is beautiful and a perfect place to spend the afternoon. We watched sunset from the roof top deck most nights and loved it. The service was beyond wonderful, Ani made us delicious breakfast and cocktails every day! She truly made the trip so special. It is perfect walking distance to Tamarindo and the beach! There is construction next door, it didn’t bother us but if you are a light sleeper just be aware of it. We would 100% stay here again and recommend it!

That you so much for your awesome review! We thrive to make sure our4 guests have an amazing time and unforgettable memories throughout their stay. Cris and Ani send a big hug to you and your friends. The sunset on the roof top are the BEST!!!

The positive: the house itself is fantastic and has so much room, having two kitchens was a game changer, and the pool is incredible and the pool area very spacious. But the absolute best part about was the house keeper. She made the best food and was so kind and helpful and just the loveliest. The negative: the house was broken into while we were sleeping and we were robbed. The robber(s) came into 4 of the 6 bedrooms while we were sleeping and stole our electronics and some cash. No one was injured. We locked all of the door and gates before going to bed but did not turn the alarm on (for various reasons). We never thought anyone would come in while 11 people were inside and sleeping. The concierge team was apologetic but only changed 1 of the 4 security codes and added bars to the sliding doors but did not change any of the locks. And we still have not been told what they learned from the security camera tapes. Bottom line: stay here for the space but be very careful

We’re truly sorry this happened during your stay and grateful no one was physically harmed. Guest safety is our top priority, and we take this matter very seriously. That said, we must clarify several important points for the sake of accuracy and future travelers. Our property is equipped with multiple layers of security: a monitored alarm system with door and motion sensors, safes in every bedroom, smart locks with unique access codes, and interior locks. These systems are thoroughly explained both in our digital guidebook and again in person at check-in, where the entire group was shown exactly how to use them and advised to keep the alarm armed at all times — especially since the home is not located within a gated community. Unfortunately, during this stay, the guests chose not to activate the alarm system and left key doors unlocked. There was no evidence of forced entry, and this has been confirmed by security and maintenance professionals. After the incident, our team responded immediately — changing access codes, adding extra interior locks, and staying in close communication with the guests. We worked in good faith to support them during a difficult time. It’s important to note that we also received messages implying that the tone and content of their review would depend on whether we provided a full refund, which is against Airbnb’s policy. We care deeply about the experience of every guest and are constantly improving our standards. This property remains a safe, high-quality space for guests who follow the simple and clearly outlined safety steps. We remain committed to delivering secure, memorable vacations for all who stay with us.

Beautiful, clean, spacious and modern home close to downtown Tamarindo. I would highly recommend "elite package" allows breakfast prepared each AM, along w/ a golf cart rental to get to/from beach (10 min walk) & grocery store/shops (5-10 min walk) because the house is located up a hill. Definitely walkable, but cart makes the walk up a lot more manageable esp when lugging a groceries or bunch of beach gear. House felt very safe. It is gated with cameras, and house has alarm system that you can turn on during night ("stay" mode) and when you leave ("away" mode). Cristina was very helpful to provide recommendations and easily accessible. I would HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend an excursion to Parque Nacional Rincon de la Vieja, which includes zip lining, water slide through the tropical forest, horse back riding, mud bath and hot springs bath. Cristina can help set this up. Also, look into getting a week-long pass to Langosta Beach Club, its a member's only pool and beach club.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ My friends and I had an unforgettable experience during our first trip to Costa Rica, and a huge part of that was thanks to our amazing stay at this villa! From the moment we booked in February, Cris was incredibly communicative and supportive, even while she was on vacation herself. Her dedication to ensuring that guests are a top priority truly stood out. Cris provided us with spot-on recommendations for activities and took care of everything for us, from booking a private chef and planning an ATV adventure to arranging a tequila tasting and getting us a golf cart. She made the trip planning process a breeze, allowing us to focus on enjoying our time. Sharon, our housekeeper, was also a delight. She was so sweet and prepared the best American breakfasts we could ask for, which was a perfect start to our days filled with adventure. Thank you, Stay in Tamarindo team, for making our time in Costa Rica nothing short of amazing. PURA VIDA

Our stay was great. The manager made sure things ran smoothly. We only had 2 issues one was a complete miscommunication between myself and manager about a pick up but it was resolved quickly. The other was the 2 day of house mom service we got another house mom who was covering for the original she had no idea what all she was supposed to do, we commend her for trying to jump in but wish someone would have let us known bc we had to eat breakfast later than we would like, it gave us a late start of the day. She also didn’t know how to make a lot of the things listed for us to have during our stay, like drinks and snack options which we purchased the food for. But all in all she was great and completed her other jobs and did the best she could as a fill in. I would recommend this property a thousand times. It’s worth every penny spent.

Absolutely fabulous! Hostess was so great! Walkable! Fun area!

This place was everything and MORE! Cris and Vivian were amazing and made our first trip to Costa Rica easy and unforgettable for my wife’s 50th. A beautiful luxurious house within walking distance to everything! I highly recommend!

Ms. Cristina was a great host and always responsive to any questions that was asked! Beautiful home, great location, walking distance to a lot of stores, restaurants, bars….. My crew and I had a great time❤️

Cris and Vivi were the perfect team and welcomed us immediately during our stay! Having an onsite house keeper was a game changer and she was so kind! As far as the communication, Cris was EXCEPTIONAL! We started communicating months before our stay and she was so flexible with our changes and added trips that were required! I truly would love to stay at one of her properties again! The house was perfectly located and near the city with a quick Golf cart ride. ( highly recommended). Also with updated amenities and decor and a lovely pool to relax in, but all in all we enjoyed our stay in cabana de playa and can’t wait to make another trip back to Tamarindo! Thank you Cris and VIVI so much!!! You ladies were amazing ❤️

Thank you so much for staying with us! We truly loved having you and your group, and we're glad you chose our place for your getaway. We hope you all had a wonderful time, and we'd love to welcome you back in the future! Feel free to reach out if you ever plan another trip!

Cristina was an AWESOME host for our stay. The home was exactly what we needed for our 7 guests. Coordination of transportation to and from golf courses was greatly appreciated and flexible. I highly recommend this property in Tamarindo. Thanks for the memories!

We had a wonderful stay at Cabana de Playa and would return for sure. The home had everything we needed and the staff and concierge were great and responsive. Anytime we had an issue, they addressed it quickly. Overall, a wonderful time.

Abbie, thank you for staying with us, your family was truly delightful.  We were absolutely thrilled to have you as our guest. Hope to see you again!

We loved our stay! Christine was so helpful! We had booked a fishing trip and they canceled on us the night before because of electrical issues. Christine had an amazing fishing trip booked on a beautiful boat within minutes! She also hooked us up with a fantastic chef Juan Carlos. His food was superb! Perfect place to stay and perfect host! Pura Vida!

It was an absolute thrill having you visit our place! Your presence brought us immense happiness, and we are grateful for choosing to stay with us. Your enthusiasm for the tours was truly amazing, and we deeply appreciate your kind words. We eagerly look forward to the opportunity of welcoming you back in the future!

Outstanding location. Highly recommend this house. We stayed with two families, and it was perfect for kids. The pool was excellent, and breakfast in the morning was an amazing bonus as well as laundry each day with kids was also a nice treat. We saw a lot of wildlife, including birds and, one day, howler monkeys. The setup is perfect for multiple families or groups. Would 100% stay here again.

The house was beautiful and exactly like the pictures. What made our stay so wonderful was Cris, our concierge, and our housekeeping staff. Cris was extremely responsive, well before and throughout our stay. She was very helpful in booking excursions and helping us find whatever we needed. The housekeepers were very nice and accommodating. Them making breakfast was a real treat. We rented a golf cart which made it easy to get to the store and town, although it was also walkable.

I’m not sure where to start nor how to even end my review on this amazing place. My family and I had such a wonderful time here and we all felt right at home. Christina and Vivian were amazing, from the checking in, every morning breakfast, sense of urgency with responses, my surprise birthday dinner,  our excursions, car rides, everything was just so perfect. We even got to see the different type of monkeys in the trees, what a site to see. Every room had a bathroom which was a super plus for us, kitchen had all things needed even some seasonings. I can go on and on but I’ll end it with this…. If you’re looking for a comfortable place to stay pick this place we barely had to get a car rides to shop or party everything was walking distance or easy cab ride. I’m thankful for the pleasant stay and experience. Thanks so much Christina and Vivian for your amazing help and thanks to our chefs Dani, Mariam and GG. 10/10 Score!!!!

Thank you so much for staying with us Shaquell.  Your amazing review is why we love guests like you! I am extremely happy to know you ad a great time.

Our stay at this Airbnb was overall great once we got there. Location was perfect and close to everything. House is modern, spacious and had many common areas. We spent most of our time around the pool. Viviana was AMAZING and provided breakfast, snacks, and drinks which were so nice to not worry about. Two issues with our stay was the communication with our concierge and provisions ordered. Concierge was unresponsive after booking and only partially answered the emails. She forgot a lot of the info shared with her and it created a lot of unnecessary back and forth. Ex.: she told us no issue with the first group arriving earlier than check in time. Then on arrival date, she told us that it wasn’t possible. Second, we ordered from the menu and the provisioner overbought. I don’t think we would have been able to finish it if we stayed another week. Waste of food/money. There is active construction in the area and the view is not so great from house as pictured but not a big deal.

Hi Paroma, first of all, I'm glad to hear that you had a great stay. It's disappointing to learn about your experience, and I apologize for any inconvenience you encountered. However, I want to assure you that guest communication is of utmost importance to us, and we always strive to ensure a seamless and enjoyable experience for all our guests. Right from the beginning, we were in contact with your friend Brittany, as she had indicated she was leading the group. Regarding the issue with the early check-in, our records clearly show that the agreed-upon check-in time was 12 pm, not 11 am. We made every effort to accommodate this agreed-upon time. Additionally, our House Manager & Concierge went above and beyond by picking you up from the restaurant and transporting you to the property at no extra cost. They even made a special trip to the supermarket to get champagne for your group. As for the provision order, it's important to note that we don't have control over the quantities that guests order. The provision order is processed through a link where guests manually select the food and quantities they desire. Regarding the construction and view, we make sure to provide accurate descriptions of our properties in our listings, including any ongoing developments in the area. We apologize if this affected your overall experience in any way.

House is five minute golf cart ride to beaches. Golf cart was fun and helpful. House is very nice with fence and digital locks and gates. A lot to do in Tamarindo. Restaurants expensive. Grocery expensive. Overall very fun.

Cabana de Playa was a fantastic stay. The house is immaculate (6 beds with individual baths). Each room has its own A/C. The house is newer and very clean. There’s an amazing rooftop terrace (was great for dinners and hanging out playing games). The plunge pool was great (serviced twice during our week stay). Plenty of lounging furniture. Two kitchens with everything you could need. Location to downtown was great. We walked everywhere we needed/wanted to go. No need for the golf carts. Diego was our contact for our stay, he helped book transportation, excursions etc. Vivian is the house keeper. She is there Monday-Saturday (8a-4p), she makes breakfast for you, cleans, laundry. The days we had early excursions she came in early to make us breakfast. Our highlight of the stay was having the private chef experience. Diana and her husband were phenomenal. We had them come out 2x and it was by far the best meals we had. There company is grillmaster506.

Thanks Zach for your awesome review :) I hope to have you guys back in the near future! :)

Our family had an amazing stay at this Tamarindo property. The location offered both convenience and privacy with stunning views. The house was impeccably clean and spacious. The pool deck was a highlight, used multiple times a day. Diego, the host, was responsive and quickly resolved any issues. The diligent housekeepers were a bonus. We unanimously agreed that if we return to Tamarindo, this is where we'll stay. Highly recommended for a fantastic and comfortable experience.

Thanks Kathy for your awesome review :) Appreciated! Hope to have you back!
