Large Central Condo-walk to Beach and Restaurants - Condominiums for Rent in Tamarindo, Provincia de Guanacaste, Costa Rica

Very receptive hosts and the place had pool and beach amenities. Would definitely recommend to others looking for an affordable place in Tamarindo.

Thank you Paul!! We hope you will return soon!! Tammy and Scott

Amazing property and very well maintained, very clean! Pool is amazing too. Gated community felt very safe, walking distance to the beach and stores and restaurants. Thank you!

Clean, comfortable, well-equipped, quiet, close to the city center and the large swimming pool. We recommend this accommodation 100%. We felt right at home.

propre ,confortable, bien équipé,  tranquille , proche du centre-ville et la grande piscine. nous recommandons ce logement a 100% on si est senti comme chez nous .

The place was spotless and very well equipped! Everything worked perfectly. There were even items to take to the beach. Everything was excellent! I traveled alone and Tammy was very attentive to me and made sure everything was fine.

El alojamiento estaba impecable, y muy bien equipado! Todo funcionaba perfectamente, hasta había elementos para llevar a la playa. Excelente todo! Viaje sola y Tammy fue muy atenta conmigo y que todo estuviera bien.

Very nice apartment with all the amenities, excellent communication with the host, safe and quiet area, and within walking distance of downtown. We had a great few days.

Muy bello apartamento con todas las comodidades, excelente comunicación con el anfitrión, zona segura y tranquila y muy cerca del centro caminando. pasamos unos días geniales.

Tammy and Scott's place met our needs perfectly. The place is quiet while still being close to the action of the city and the beach. Everything was very clean, and the tips/recommendations really helped us enjoy our stay. Thank you for everything!

Le logement de Tammy et Scott répondait exactement à nos besoins. L'endroit est tranquille tout en étant près de l'action de la ville et de la plage. Tout était très propre et les conseils/recommandations nous ont bien aidé à profiter du séjour. Merci pour tout!

We had an amazing stay at this condo in Tamarindo, Costa Rica. The location was ideal—about a 7-minute walk to the beach and most of the restaurants, so everything was close and convenient without being right in the middle of the noise. The gated complex made us feel very safe, and the pool area was a huge bonus—perfect for cooling off after a day in the sun or just relaxing in the evenings. The condo itself was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed for our stay. Everything matched the listing, and it was clear the place is well taken care of. One of the absolute highlights was seeing howler monkeys right on the grounds on most days—such a unique and unforgettable experience that really made the trip feel like Costa Rica. Overall, we couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay. Great location, great amenities, and a really cool atmosphere. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Tamarindo.

Thank you Ron!! We hope you will return soon!

Had a great stay every thing is walkable distance would definitely stay again

We loved the condo which was very spacious for two people. The private patio was awesome; the other patios faced the pool. Wannabe Surfers were the perfect hosts. Tammy responded within seconds/minutes to my multiple inquiries. Google Maps brought us to the pedestrian back gate and it took a few minutes for us to figure out how to get to the main car entrance (use EF Language School), which required going through the town center. The pedestrian back gate, which was a 5-minute walk down to the town center with the restaurants, grocery stores, ATMs and beach access, makes this condo a prime location for anyone wanting to visit Tamarindo.

We spent 9 days at the Wannabe Surfers condo #12 and were very happy with the unit and location. It really checked all the boxes for us - a smaller condo complex in a great location with a fantastic pool. The unit itself was well laid out, spacious, spotless and the bed was very comfortable. Having a full kitchen was helpful (especially for breakfast) in cutting down the cost of a somewhat pricey town. The main thing for us was the location. It was walkable to everything in Tamarindo. We were under 10 minutes to the shops, beach and restaurants and even walked to the beach at Langosta. The hosts, Tammy and Scott were very responsive and helpful. We contacted them many times before the trip and a few times during and never had to wait very long for a helpful reply to our inquiries. Almost all of the other occupants in the complex were also holiday travelers which created a fun and friendly atmosphere during our time around the pool. I would 100% recommend, 5 Stars from us!

Thank you! We hope you will return again soon!

Very nice accommodation within walking distance to go everywhere, while being just far enough away to be quieter and safer. Several useful accessories inside that can be borrowed during the stay. Very accessible and helpful hosts if needed. We loved it!

Très beau logement accessible à pieds pour aller partout, tout en étant juste assez reculé pour être plus calme et sécuritaire. Plusieurs accessoires utiles à l’intérieur qu’on peut emprunter durant le séjour. Hôtes très accessibles et aidants en cas de besoin. Nous avons adoré !

What a gem! Scott and Tammy are extremely responsive and went above and beyond to provide local information, setting us up with a transport contact and surf lessons. The location is incredibly walkable to all of downtown Tamarindo. Check in/out was smooth. My husband wants me to include that there is also plenty of ice, which he appreciated!

we loved our stay at Tammy and Scott's place. The condo was centrally located which allowed us to walk to all Tamarindo has to offer including the beach,  grocery stores, surf rentals and lots of great restaurants. The unit was clean and spacious and the beds were comfortable. The kitchen has all the basic cookware/dishes to cook meals.   The condo complex has a great pool and gorgeous surroundings. We even had howler monkeys visit one morning! the condo complex is well maintained with people onsite most days doing maintenance/ cleaning etc. beach chairs, towels and boogie boards were a great bonus. would 100% stay again. Tammy and Scott were wonderful hosts and helped us connect to a concierge company for airport transfers which was super helpful as first timers to the area

This is one of or possibly the best AirBnb experiences we have had. The host are amazing and so pro active. Provide everything needed. This place is a gem. Beautiful clean place with everything you need. Private feeling for a condo. Great pool. Kitchen has about everything one would need. Nice having beach chairs and plenty of towels. The property has two separate accesses which made it convenient as each way got us to different locations quicker. Very safe feeling.

It was an amazing experience, enjoyed all 3 nights of my stay and it was very peaceful! Couldn’t be any more grateful and happy about the place!

Wow! We love this host and stay. This is our second time and we stayed for another month 😊 we saw monkies on the roof this time. We can’t get enough of the location, homey vibe, and the amazing HOST!! Thanks Tammy ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Thank you! You 2 were wonderful guests! We’re glad you had fun and hope you return! We love the monkeys as well!

Our little Gem of a place! We stayed one month here and it was SO livable, but it still felt like a vacation everyday. We love the Tamarindo Paradise condos and we had the best unit 12! You will love your stay, and want to stay longer —- I would book it!

Thank you so much!! We're so happy you enjoyed our little piece of paradise! It's nice to have the perfect guests. We hope you will return!

My daughter and I felt right at home, Tammy always attended to us in this way. The place is beautiful and safe! We highly recommend it!!!

Mi hija y yo nos sentimos como en casa, en todo momento Tammy nos atendió por esta vía. El lugar es bonito y seguro! Lo recomendamos ampliamente!!!

Great location and the unit is much bigger in person!  Easy walk to downtown, beaches, restaurant, coffee shops. The pool is huge and the condo is completely gated and secure.  Blackout drapes, cold AC, 2 TV’s, and comfortable bed made me feel completely at home.  The unit provides everything you need for a fun beach day (chairs, boogie boards, towels, cooler).  The hosts were responsive and helpful.  Thanks so much!

We loved the apartment, it's close to downtown but not within the noise of bars, super safe because it's inside a small condominium, super clean and equipped with everything, even beach chairs and booguies and ice maker. The bathroom is impeccable, the shower is great, the bed and bedding are like a 5-star hotel.  It's a wonderful place to spend a few days by the sea in Tamarindo.

Nos encantó el apartamento, está cerca del centro pero no dentro del ruido de bares, súper seguro por estar dentro de un condominio pequeño, super limpio y equipado con todo hasta sillas de playa y booguies y hielerita. El baño impecable, la ducha riquísima, la cama y ropa de cama como hotel 5 estrellas.  Es un lugar maravilloso para pasar unos días cerca del mar en Tamarindo.

Very well located accommodation within walking distance of everything. We left the car parked during our stay. The accommodation was nice and with the pool it was perfect. The monkeys were picking mangos from the tree in the morning, it was nice and quiet, a nice place to relax and be close to everything.

Logement tres bien situé à distance de marche de tout. Nous avons laissé la voiture garée durant nôtre séjour. Le logement était agréable et avec la piscine c’était parfait. Les singes se chicanaient les mangues de l’arbre au matin, c’était bien tranquille, belle place pour relaxer et être proche de tout.

Excellent place for the location and price in such a central area.

Excelente lugar por la ubicación y precio en una zona de tan céntrica.

Absolutely wonderful stay, nice place, beautiful pool, very short walk to town. Will certainly be looking to travel here again soon!

Thank you very much! We look forward to your return!

Absolutely loved our stay at Tammy's condo! The location was amazing—walking distance to everything. The common area with the pool was super cute and a great place to relax. It was the perfect spot for my friend and me—comfortable, convenient, and full of charm. Would definitely stay here again!

Thank you! We hope to see you again soon!

Tammy is a more than excellent host, always pleasant and precise. The house is super well-equipped, located, with all the necessary amenities to spend several days and more! Excellent cleanliness, inside a very comfortable condo with a beautiful pool. Thank you Tammy!

Tammy una mas que excelente anfitriona, siempre agradable y precisa. La casa super bien equipada, ubicada, con todas las comodidades necesarias para pasar varios días y mas! Execlente la limpieza, dentro de un condo muy comodo con hermosa piscina. Gracias Tammy!

The condo was really nice. The apartment was clean and uncluttered. The shower was just okay. With regard to the location, walking was unpleasant since the streets around the condo lack infrastructure (one street had a bad smell). On the plus side, the condo has a very nice pool that was clean, and the water temperature was always perfect.

Thank you for your feedback! I would like to let others know before they book an AIRBNB in Costa Rica and Central America that it is very different than Canada and the United States. There are many conveniences in Tamarindo. It’s is a nice little beach town where you’ll find nature, monkeys, iguanas, coatiis, parrots, waves, sunsets, large beach, catamaran tours and estuary tours. You will also find many restaurants, grocery stores, beach bars with live music and pharmacies. Our complex is very clean and does not smell because it’s well maintained. Any smells in town are beyond our control. You may also find dirt roads covered in molasses, which keeps the dust down and is good for the environment. Personally, I don’t want to see Tamarindo become like a typical North America town.

We loved this condo and the pool! :-) Owners are great and have made the unit super homey! We especially loved all the windows and light in the living room but really everything was perfect! The location is also really good. Short walk to Vindi supermarket (which you end up walking by every time to/from the beach) making it super convenient. Very near Dragonfly restaurant which was one of our favorites. The pool was very warm and cleaned very often by the on-site staff. The grounds were always perfect. Tammy was a great communicator and incredible resource in terms of Tamarindo activities and restaurants/live music. We would love to stay here again on our next visit! Thanks so much!!

Great apartment. Has everything that is required for a comfortable stay on the beach. The complex in which it is located has two entrances: one of them, gives a place very close to the center of Tamarindo (about 6 minutes walk) where one has easy access to a supermarket (Vindi), bars and a rich and cheap pizzeria. The other faces a further street, where you can leave the carts quietly.

Gran apartamento. Tiene todo lo que se requiere para una cómoda estadïa en la playa. El complejo en el que se encuentra tiene dos entradas: una de ellas, da a un lugar muy cerca del centro de Tamarindo (a unos 6 minutos caminando) donde uno tiene acceso fácil a un supermercado (Vindi), bares y una pizzería rica y barata. La otra da a una calle más alejada, donde se pueden dejar los carros con tranquilidad.

We loved our stay at wannabe surfers. It had everything we needed to feel right at home. The pool area is a massive bonus with a fabulous pool. A short walking distance from the centre of town and the beach. Would definitely stay here again if in the area.

Really enjoyed our stay, spacious end unit, easy access as it was on the main level, private and secure yard and premises, easy and walkable to restaurants and beach.

Thank you for your nice review! We're happy you enjoyed your stay and look forward to having you again!

Wannabe surfers was a perfect place to stay in Tamarindo. Quiet neighborhood a short walk from downtown. Close to the grocery store and the beach. The condo itself was clean, spacious and felt homey. Large bathroom and comfortable bed. Would stay here again!

One of the best AirBnB experiences we’ve had. My wife and I stayed for 2 months while I attended the Spanish-language school next door. Tammy is a very communicative host.

Thank you for booking with us this year! Happy to hear you enjoyed your stay. Hope you come back next year!

Super solid complex within walking distance of everything.  Really the perfect accommodation.  I booked during high rates week of Easter so the value for my stay was not as good as regular rates but I would stay here again for sure.  It really has everything I need and the community pool is a nice bonus.

Great location! Close to restaurants, bars, grocery stores and beach. Nice quiet condo that is well equipped with everything you need. Really appreciated the owners Tammy and Scott who were great from the very start. They were very responsive to any questions that we had. Thank you for a great stay!

A very nice place just a short walk to town and the beach. Very nice pool and a great unit.

superb location! A nice cozy place with a great pool for relaxing away from the hustle. Steps to everything. I highly recommend this place.

Excellent accommodation! We are 3 friends who wanted to visit tamarind for the new year and it was the best option to stay at wannabe surfers. From the comfortable Tammy and Scott were in contact and they were quick to respond to any issues. The apartment is very well equipped, including a book with tips that helps us a lot in our stay. In the story of the location, the apartment is very central. The condo was very familiar and has a very quiet atmosphere that we really liked. Thank you Tammy and Scott for making our experience in Tamarindo even better!

Excelente alojamiento! Somos 3 amigas que quisimos visitar tamarindo para año nuevo y fue la mejor opción hospedarnos en wannabe surfers. Desde el comiento Tammy y Scott estuvieron en contacto y ante cualquier problema respondían rapidamente. El departamento esta muy bien equipado, incluyendo un libro con tips que nos ayudo mucho en nuestra estadía. En cuento a la ubicación, el apartamento esta muy céntrico. El condominio fue muy familiar y con un ambiente muy tranquilo que nos gusto mucho. Gracias Tammy y Scott por hacer de nuestra experiencia en Tamarindo aún mejor!

Tammy and Scott were fantastic from the first point of contact! Extremely quick to respond. The condo was very clean, well equipped, very central. The pool and deck area were great. Very friendly guests and residents in the complex. Would certainly recommend a stay. Pura vida!!

My husband & I have stayed in many Airbnb's and this is one of the best!! 5/5. The location is great, off the main drag but still close to grocery stores, restaurants, coffee shops and the beach.  The apartment itself is bright, spacious and very well equipped. They really have thought of everything! Bed was extremely comfortable and the complex has a really nice inner courtyard with a great pool!  We also have to give a really big shout out to the owners, Tammy and Scott!!  Never have we had such attentive, responsive, informative and caring hosts. When we arrived, we had difficulties figuring out the sofa bed.  My husband reached out and they had someone there within 20 minutes.  As well, during our stay we lost water for a day.  To be clear, this was a town wide issue.  They kept us informed and subsequently refunded us for one nights stay for our troubles, even though we said it wasn't necessary. We would definitely stay here again and you should too!

Great place to stay, will absolutely be back.

Thank you Jordan! We hope to see you again!
