Villa, Ocean View, Private pool - Villas for Rent in Tamarindo, Provincia de Guanacaste, Costa Rica

This is beautiful place very close to town center. Steve and Claire live right next door to the house. They are wonderful people and enjoyed talking to them. Even though they live next door in separate entrance living space you will feel as they are not there (if that is your concern). We felt better knowing they are right next door incase we needed some help. Last kilometers is literally 45 degrees incline so make sure you get the 4x4. The house is new built within last year or two and built to impress. The sunset views from pool is outstanding. Highly recommended place.

If my friend and I could give this place more than 5 stars, we absolutely would! It was an absolute 10 out of 10 stay in Tamarindo. The space was spotlessly clean upon arrival, and we loved that they provided thorough cleaning every 3 days. The view from the property was truly exceptional and a highlight of our trip. The location was unbeatable, and the space felt like a comfortable home away from home. To top it all off, the hosts, Steve and Claire, were incredibly pleasant, making check-in a breeze and communication seamless. Their thoughtful hospitality made us feel so welcome. We would love to stay here again and cannot recommend them highly enough!

We had a wonderful stay at Villa Chiric. The villa is modern, new, very tastefully decorated and really fully equipped. Everything is well thought out, functional and exactly as you would want it for a relaxing family vacation. The pool with the magnificent view was an absolute highlight. This will certainly stay with my three children and me for a long time. Steve and Claire were extremely personable, attentive and proactive hosts. Communication was always straightforward, prompt, and friendly. We felt very comfortable from the first moment and would book the villa again anytime. Clear recommendation!

Wir hatten einen wunderbaren Aufenthalt in der Villa Chiric. Die Villa ist modern, neu, sehr geschmackvoll eingerichtet und wirklich vollständig ausgestattet. Alles ist durchdacht, funktional und genau so, wie man es sich für entspannte Familienferien wünscht. Ein absolutes Highlight war der Pool mit der herrlichen Aussicht. Dieser wird meinen drei Kindern und mir bestimmt noch lange in Erinnerung bleiben. Steve und Claire waren äusserst sympathische, aufmerksame und proaktive Gastgeber. Die Kommunikation war jederzeit unkompliziert, schnell und herzlich. Wir haben uns vom ersten Moment an sehr wohlgefühlt und würden die Villa jederzeit wieder buchen. Klare Empfehlung!

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We are truly delighted that you enjoyed the villa and that it was the perfect setting for such a special trip. It was a real pleasure hosting you both, and we sincerely hope to welcome you back to Villa CHIRIC in the future. Wishing you both a lifetime of happiness together. Pura Vida!

Had a great time at Steve and Claire’s place. The space was exactly as described and close to downtown Tamarindo, if you are debating whether you should book this place just do it! Treat yourself to a luxurious vacation in the heart of it all. Pool was amazing, beds and linen were super comfortable and felt like a high-quality hotel and was a welcome relief after leaving La Fortuna to have that kind of luxury. Would stay again if in Tamarindo.

Steve’s place was amazing! We even got to see some monkeys off in the distance on the first day. The place was immaculate and very accommodating. Everybody has a view from a balcony off the rooms which is a nice touch. A couple of bugs, but we are in the jungle after all. Looking to come back in the future.

10/10 stay. The property is absolutely stunning—beautiful architecture that blends perfectly with the surrounding jungle. Everything was thoughtfully designed and put together, creating a unique and relaxing experience. The only thing worth mentioning is that the road getting to the property can be a little challenging to navigate. A 2WD vehicle is completely fine, but a 4WD would make the drive even easier. We rented a small Honda Civic-type car and had no issues at all—we were cruising. Overall, an incredible place to stay. The setting, design, and overall experience exceeded our expectations. We’d absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a beautiful jungle getaway.

Villa Chiric was a dream come true. It is set high on a hill with a majestic view of the ocean. When you lounge poolside you will be surrounded by birds and butterflies and the distant (and sometimes close) howls of the monkeys. Steve and Claire have a beautiful home and they are the kindest people. We had many questions and they were so helpful and so very patient. They were so welcoming and the space was pure peace. Leaving felt like leaving home.

Villa Chric is an amazing place to stay. It’s perched up high on top of a hill/mountain with views of the ocean and valley below. The place is easy to find. It’s even marked on Google Maps. We were able to find it in the dark without issue. The beach is only a few minutes away and plenty of places to eat nearby. Steve was quick to respond with any questions, including local restaurant recommendations. He was very friendly when I got the chance to meet him as we were loading up the car and checking out. The house is very spacious with a full kitchen, living room with huge TV, nice sized pool with views and plenty of seating on the deck, a nice sunning deck with turf and plenty of lounge chairs, and 4 suites each complete with its own full bathroom. I would recommend this place to anyone interested in the Tamarindo area.

We had a wonderful stay at this Airbnb! The hosts were incredibly responsive, friendly, and helpful throughout our entire trip. Anytime we had a question or needed anything, they replied quickly and made sure we were taken care of. The home itself is absolutely beautiful and exactly as described. It was exceptionally clean, well-maintained, and provided everything we needed for a comfortable stay. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area. A couple of recommendations for future guests: we strongly suggest renting an SUV, as the road leading to the house is very steep and rocky. An SUV makes getting up and down the hill much easier and more comfortable. We would also recommend being aware of your surroundings in the downtown area. There are individuals who may approach you while you’re parking and tell you they are “watching” your vehicle and ask for money. Just be aware that the public parking areas are free, and you are not required to.

Thank you so much, Brionna, for your wonderful review. We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed your stay and that you appreciated the villa, its cleanliness, and our support throughout your trip. It was truly a pleasure hosting you and your friends. Thank you as well for sharing your recommendations with future guests. We also generally recommend renting an SUV or a vehicle with higher ground clearance. While standard vehicles can reach the villa, the final section of the road is steep and uneven, and an SUV provides a much more comfortable and stress-free experience. Guests who plan to explore the region often find that an SUV is the most suitable option for local road conditions. As for parking in Tamarindo, your advice is very helpful. Visitors should indeed be aware that public parking areas are generally free, and while some individuals may offer to "watch" vehicles, this is entirely optional. Thank you again for choosing Villa CHIRIC. We would be delighted to welcome you back anytime. Warm regards, Villa CHIRIC Tamarindo – Claire & Steve

The place really is better than the photos.  The beds are very comfortable and everything is made for a perfect stay.  Most days we found ourselves just wanting to spend the majority of the time at the villa.  It is worth noting, the apartment the owners mention in the listing is attached to the villa and the owners appear to stay on the property. That being said, it still felt private and very comfortable.  Would definitely stay again

The villa itself is beautiful and the views are incredible. We truly enjoyed our stay overall and the hosts were kind and responsive throughout the trip, so thank you again for having us. One thing I do think could be communicated more clearly in the listing is that there is an adjoining apartment connected to the villa that appears to be occupied during stays by the owners. While still a wonderful property, it felt a little less private than expected at times due to occasional noise/activity from the connected garage, terrace, and shared walls. I would also personally recommend a 4x4 or higher-clearance vehicle for this location. While the listing mentions it is no longer necessary, we found it made navigating the steep roads and surrounding areas much easier and more comfortable. Overall, we had a great stay and think these details may simply be helpful for future guests when booking.

Our stay at this villa was absolutely wonderful from start to finish. The space was even more beautiful in person—clean, thoughtfully designed, and had such a relaxing, peaceful atmosphere that made it easy to unwind right away. The location was perfect, close to everything yet still felt private and tucked away. We especially loved spending time enjoying the villa itself—it truly felt like a little oasis. The host was amazing as well—very responsive, accommodating, and made sure everything went smoothly for us. This was the perfect place to start our trip, and I would 100% recommend it to anyone visiting the area. We would definitely stay here again 💛

Beautiful property even better sunset view. Pristine and super clean.

It is clear Steve and Claire take great pride in this house and keep it in perfect condition. The place was spotless all week and the design of the home is great! We have never had a host clean throughout our stay and it was much appreciated. They take great care of the property and are very responsive and helpful. We even had some issues with our golf cart one day that got resolved by the golf rental place but the host helped driving our group up the hill which was way above and beyond. Hopefully will be returning to this property very soon. Thank you for you for sharing your property with us!

Thank you so much, Tyler, for your wonderful review. We truly appreciate your kind words and are very happy to hear that you enjoyed the villa, the design of the home, and the care we put into maintaining it. It was a real pleasure hosting you and your group, and we’re glad we could help when the golf cart situation came up. Thank you as well for being such great guests and for taking good care of the property during your stay. We would be absolutely delighted to welcome you back anytime and hope to see you again soon in Tamarindo. Warm regards, Villa CHIRIC Tamarindo – Claire & Steve

Both the house and the view are Stunning! Really lovely house with a great layout. Every bedroom/suite feels private and all have amazing views out to the ocean. Everything was very clean, and anything we needed was there. 
Loved how private this place felt, and still less than 5 minutes to Tamarindo restaurants and shopping. Best of both worlds!

Thank you very much, Adriano! We are really happy to hear that you enjoyed the villa and felt comfortable during your stay. It was a pleasure hosting you, and we truly appreciate your kind words. You are always welcome back. Warm regards, Villa CHIRIC Tamarindo – Claire & Steve

Wow is the first word that comes to mind when you walk through the front door of Steve and Claire’s villa. Pictures can’t do the view justice. The private pool allows for maximum relaxation while enjoying the site of the gorgeous coastline. Steve was also very responsive, kind, and helpful. We would LOVE to come back!

Thank you so much for your wonderful review. We are truly delighted that the first impression of the villa made you say “wow” and that the view exceeded what photos can capture. It makes us very happy to know that you were able to fully relax and enjoy the private pool and the peaceful atmosphere of the property. It was a real pleasure hosting you, and we would be very happy to welcome you back anytime for another unforgettable stay in Tamarindo. Warm regards, Claire and Steve

A serene, private and luxurious oasis with an incredible view! An amazing place to spend a few days or a few weeks! Would definitely recommend and hope to return!

Thank you so much, Brian and Lindsay! We’re truly happy to hear that you enjoyed the serenity, privacy, and the views, it means a lot to us. You were wonderful guests, and we would be absolutely delighted to welcome you back anytime, whether for a few days or a longer stay. Thank you again for choosing Villa CHIRIC Tamarindo! Warm regards, Claire & Steve

This was by far one of our favorite spots we have encountered! Villa Chiric is definitely a place to stay while visiting the beautiful country of Costa Rica! Steve and Claire were great hosts who went above and beyond during our stay. They were super attentive and kept great communication with us through out our time there. The Villa is absolutely beautiful super comfortable and private and very clean with gorgeous views of the beach. We had such a wonderful time and can’t wait to go back! Thank you Steve and Claire!

Amazing stay!! Beautiful views and the home is more than we could ask for. Perfect and spotless. The home is beautifully built and designed. We truly loved the whole place. Hosts  are super kind, friendly, helpful and responsive. Highly highly recommended!

Can't beat the price for such a nice home. Steve was super helpful, and he and Claire have clearly put in a lot of effort to make sure each guest has a fantastic stay. The artwork in this home is next level. The drive up to the house is somewhat difficult, so would strongly recommend a 4x4 to make it up the hill. The WOW factor when you finally arrive and see the view for the first time cannot even be described. Thank you for the awesome stay, Steve!

Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re thrilled to hear you enjoyed the villa, the artwork, and especially the view – it truly is something special when you first arrive. Regarding the road, since it has recently been improved, all cars can now make it up without a problem, although it’s definitely more comfortable with a 4x4 or an SUV. It means a lot to us that you recognized the effort we put in to make every stay memorable. We’d be delighted to welcome you back anytime! Claire & Steve – Villa CHIRIC Tamarindo

This villa was the perfect mix of seclusion and convenience. It felt private, peaceful, and surrounded by nature, yet it was only a short drive to restaurants, beaches, and activities. The paved road made getting there simple and stress free. The hosts were kind, welcoming, and attentive, and they made sure every detail was perfect. The massages they offered were incredible and so relaxing, and the pool and views were absolutely stunning. The villa itself was spacious, spotless, and well maintained. I especially loved that they provided a mid-stay cleaning, which made the stay even more comfortable. They also washed and folded our clothes, which added such a thoughtful and luxurious touch. Every part of the experience exceeded my expectations, and I left feeling refreshed, cared for, and already planning to come back. Overall, this villa is exceptional, and I would absolutely stay here again.

Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re so glad you enjoyed the peaceful setting, the little touches, and the overall experience. It was a real pleasure hosting you, and we’d love to welcome you back anytime! Warmly, Claire & Steve

The place has a spectacular view of the sea, the truth is everything is very beautiful, Steve was extremely attentive and kind, I would love to go back. thanks Steve

This place IS a paradise. The view cannot be captured in photos. It is stunning. You have a front seat to the biodiversity of Costa Rica at this place, tucked away in a private corner, high in the hills of Tamarindo. It is right off the main strip, but high enough to be exclusive.

Thank you so much, Bryan, for this beautiful message! You’ve described exactly what we love about this place, the stunning view, the privacy, and the full immersion in Costa Rica’s biodiversity. We’re so glad you got to experience it, even for a short stay. You’re always welcome back at Villa CHIRIC! Claire & Steve – Villa CHIRIC Tamarindo

Steve and Claire were great hosts, they were super responsive, very helpful and accommodating. Check in was simple and easy with very clear instructions and the villa was beautiful, clean and private but close enough to the beach and Tamarindo (by car) at the same time... all in all Steve and Claire made my stay very enjoyable and were amazing from the moment I booked the trip to the moment I checked out

Thank you so much for your kind words! It was a real pleasure hosting you, and we’re so glad to hear that you enjoyed your stay at the villa. We always try to make everything as smooth and comfortable as possible, from booking to check out, and it's wonderful to know it made a difference 😊 You’re welcome back anytime! Claire & Steve Villa CHIRIC Tamarindo

Thank you so much! We’re really happy you enjoyed your stay. Claire & Steve Villa CHIRIC Tamarindo

To end our 3-week journey, we put our suitcases in this extraordinary place! What a show when you arrive!! We didn't expect such a nice house.

I'll let you have the pleasure of discovering it 💚🤟🍀 Thank you very much to Steve and Claire for their kindness and thoughtfulness.

Awesome place to stay. Everything exceeded our expectations we had so much fun here. Steve was awesome at communicating and the house was perfect.

Thank you so much Liam! We're so glad the villa exceeded your expectations. It was a pleasure to welcome you!

The home is pristine. Many have noted it’s difficult to find but if you do a little research prior to getting there on Google maps, you can see the turn off (right by a red sign that says Claro. It’s a dirt road that is steep and has a few rough spots. Worth the views. The home is spotless. Beautiful , has everything you need to be comfortable. I have zero complaints and fully recommend a stay here.

Thank you so much for your feedback and for your kind words about the house — it truly means a lot to us! To make arrival easier, we always provide GPS links for Waze, Google Maps, and Apple Maps so our guests can find us easily. And great news: the steepest and most challenging part of the road has recently been fully paved. This means that any type of vehicle can now drive up to the villa, even during the rainy season. A 4x4 or SUV is no longer necessary to fully enjoy your stay at Villa CHIRIC. Thanks again for staying with us and for your lovely recommendation!

The place looks better in person than the pictures. We didn’t want to leave at all! The place was 100% spotless and the views are spectacular! Would rate 100/100 if possible!

Thank you so much, Terry, for your wonderful feedback! 🥰 We're delighted that you found the villa even more beautiful in person and that you enjoyed the view and peaceful atmosphere. It was truly a pleasure hosting you — you're welcome back anytime, our doors are always open for you! 🌴✨ Claire & Steve

Claire and Steve are fantastic hosts! Very communicative and kind, always available. The Airbnb looked even better than the pictures. Definitely recommend the 4wd vehicle as it is a steep hill, but all worth the views you get. Super clean and private. Thank you both for making our stay wonderful and being so accommodating, especially with our engagement photos! We’re already making plans to come stay again. Pura Vida!

Thank you so much Justine and Ness for your lovely message! It was truly a pleasure to host you for such a special occasion — you were kind, respectful, and full of joy. We’re so happy to hear the villa exceeded your expectations and made the perfect setting for your beautiful engagement photos. We would love to welcome you back anytime for another romantic escape — or even something more 💍😉 Pura Vida, Claire & Steve Villa CHIRIC

I don’t even know how to best describe our incredible experience. Steve and Claire were beyond cordial and accommodating, to the point where Steve was going to get his car and meet us where we got lost (our fault). Their recommendations for food, shopping and gas were spot on. They helped us find beaches as well. They respond to questions within minutes. Now let’s talk about the villa. We walked in and felt like we were staying at a five-star resort. Everything was impeccably decorated and very well fought out. It’s the little details that matter, such as light switches by the bed to spacious en suite in each room. The outside space was spectacular, and we lived out there most of the time, even swimming in the rain. It was so fun having iguanas and geckos joining us. We took advantage of some of the services Steve and Claire offered and had a private chef prepared dinner, which was definitely one of the highlights. Thank you, Steven and Claire, for an unforgettable experience!

Thank you so much for your wonderful words! It was a real pleasure to host you. We're thrilled that you enjoyed both the villa and the experience — and especially that the little details made a difference. Come back anytime 😊🌴

The place was amazing !! Best Airbnb ever , it was beautiful , amazing view , amazing terrace overlooking the terrace with an amazing swimming pool. The house was immaculate had everything you would need . The place far exceeded y expectations. I will be returning there again with rest of my family . The hosts were amazing super attentive . Anybody that sees the place and walks in will be in love with their home .

Wow, thank you so much Ryan for your amazing words! We’re truly touched and so happy the villa exceeded your expectations. It was a pleasure hosting you, and we’d be absolutely delighted to welcome you and your family again soon. The sunsets and pool will be waiting for you 😉

Steve's house is the best we have ever stayed in on a trip, and from the moment we entered the house, we felt the hospitality the owner gave us, welcome fruits and drinks, and the invincible pool, you can enjoy dinner with your family watching the sunset by the pool, especially thanks for the enthusiasm Steve, he responded promptly to the information, we all had a problem solving it, we will stay here again next time we will stay with Steve's, and I would also recommend it to my friends!

Steve的房子是我们在旅行中住过最好的，从进入房子内的那刻，我们就感受到了主人对我们的热情款待，欢迎水果和饮料，还有无敌的泳池，你可以和家人在泳池边看着日落享受晚餐，特别感谢热情Steve,他回复信息及时，我们有问题都一一帮我们解决，下次来这里我们还会再住Steve家，我还要推荐给我的朋友们！

It was a real pleasure having you at Villa CHIRIC, and we’d be absolutely delighted to welcome you again on your next visit.
