Pura Vida Retreat - Apartments for Rent in Tamarindo, Provincia de Guanacaste, Costa Rica

Very good place to stay. Tim answered all my questions very quickly, and it is very clean. It is located in a great area. The only problem is the street to get to the condominium. It is not in the best condition. Everything else is excellent.

Muy buen alojamiento, Tim respondio todas mis dudas muy rapido y esta muy limpio, se ubica en una gran zona, el unico problema es la calle para llegar al condominio, no esta en las mejores condiciones, todo lo demas excelente.

Overall the place was clean, the area was decent, it was not easily accessible due to the proper manager locking the gate to let cars in and out.

We thoroughly enjoyed our trip and our stay at Paradise Tamarindo Pura Vida. However, a few points need to be improved. There was practically no hot water for the shower and very little for the kitchen, contrary to the listing. The bathroom faucet had a very low flow, forcing us to use the kitchen sink. The shower wall didn't close completely, which allowed a lot of water to run onto the floor. In the kitchen, the advertised basic products (oil, salt, pepper) were missing, and the oven wasn't working. We notified Tim as soon as we arrived, but he only responded the day before our departure. There was also confusion regarding parking, which was promised to be inside the complex, without any solution being offered to us. Finally, the boogie board was broken and blankets were missing. Also, the wall-mounted air conditioning leaked twice = water on the floor. The place is beautiful, as are the pool and terrace.

Nous avons beaucoup apprécié notre voyage et notre séjour au Paradise Tamarindo Pura Vida. Cependant, quelques points méritent d'être améliorés. Il n'y avait pratiquement pas d'eau chaude pour la douche et très peu pour la cuisine, contrairement à l'annonce. Le robinet de la salle de bain avait un très faible débit, nous obligeant à utiliser l'évier de la cuisine. La paroi de la douche ne fermait pas complètement, ce qui laissait beaucoup d'eau s'écouler sur le plancher. En cuisine, il manquait des produits de base annoncés (huile, sel, poivre) et le four ne fonctionnait pas. Nous avons avisé Tim dès notre arrivée, mais il n'a répondu que la veille de notre départ. Il y a aussi eu une confusion concernant le stationnement, promis à l'intérieur du complexe, sans qu'une solution nous soit proposée. Enfin, le boogie board était brisé et il manquait des couvertures. Aussi, l'air climatisé mural a coulé 2x = eau au plancher. Le lieu est magnifique ainsi que la piscine et terasse.

Nice place, easy walk to all of Tamarindo and the beach.

The AC stopped working, there was no hot water, and the boogie board provided was broken when we arrived. We stay in Airbnbs & camp often, so we’re pretty easygoing, but this experience was a bit frustrating and didn't match reviews. Host offered to send someone for the AC the next afternoon, but was our last day and I didn’t want to wait around for maintenance, I mentioned I don’t speak Spanish, and no alternative help was offered, so we just put up with it. I asked twice about hot water and never got a response. I confirmed before booking that boogie boards and sand toys were included, but the board was broken and said they get one for us the next day, but didn't happen. Asked again and got one on last day after we had already left for the beach. Rented each day and cost $$. Scorpion in bedroom on our last day, its CR, wildlife expected, host said place scheduled to be sprayed next week. The place was clean and the pool was nice, hopefully these issues were just a one-time fluke.

Stacy, thank you for staying with us and for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re truly sorry parts of your stay did not meet expectations. We always want our guests to feel comfortable and well cared for, so we regret the frustration surrounding the A/C, hot water communication, and beach equipment. During your stay, we did work to coordinate maintenance and replace the boogie board as quickly as possible, though we understand the timing was not ideal and impacted your experience. As a family-owned Airbnb, we take great pride in our condo and guest experience. The home was fully renovated recently, professionally cleaned before arrival, and we routinely maintain the property and amenities. We were also happy to accommodate an early check-in to help make your arrival easier. Regarding the scorpion, while wildlife can occasionally appear in Costa Rica’s tropical environment, the property is on a regular pest-control schedule and we addressed the matter immediately. We appreciate you acknowledging the cleanliness and pool, and we’re sorry your stay fell short overall. Feedback like this helps us continue improving for future guests.

This apartment was exactly as described.  It was perfect for me. It was nice to have so many conveniences (equipped kitchen and bathroom). The walk to town is much shorter than it may appear on the map--there is a pedestrian entry/exit from the property that's not far from Dragonfly restaurant and you're down at the center of town in probably 6 - 8 minutes by foot.  I'd definitely stay there again.

We had an amazing time. Loved being right at a pool, chilling in the hammock and a short walk to the beach. Everyone is so friendly here. Great for adults and kiddos alike! Highly recommend

Beautiful place; the back entrance is very convenient for getting to the village.

Belle endroit, l’accès arrière est un très pratique pour aller au village

Excellent place to stay!!! Great pool right in front of the terrace. Beautiful surroundings and within a few minutes walk of the centre (using the rear gate). We found the place had no unwelcome noise, the place was lovely and quiet. Everyone was very friendly and the other owners who were there were very welcoming. We had a great time!!!

The condo worked great for myself and my two teens. The location was super convenient- less than 10 min walk to the beach. Really convenient walk to grocery store, Green Papaya, Little Lucha (taco Tuesday!), Dragonfly, the night market (Thursday) and the day market (Wed and Sat). The condo had good ac and fans, nice blackout shades, beach towels, chairs and some toys. You’ll need to bring your own soap, shampoo and conditioner though. I also recommend ear plugs if you’re a light sleeper- the walls are pretty thin. The complex is gated and felt extremely secure as did the neighborhood in general. Tim was an incredible host. He was proactive in providing all information and local suggestions. He checked in throughout the week too. Great stay!

Tim’s place was perfect for us! He let us in early and had everything we needed.  Our daughter loved the pool and the hammock and the condo had beach chairs, beach towels, beach toys and boogie boards.  It was super close to the restaurants and beach, yet so peaceful and quiet.  Great location! Thanks again

Great spot close to all the restaurants and the beach! We also loved using the pool, great stay overall!

Tim’s place is perfect to enjoy Tamarindo and surrounding areas! The balcony with hammock and chairs is nice for shade and right in front of the pool. The location is ideal to walk to the beach and restaurants. Highly recommend!

Location was perfect. A 5 minute walk to downtown Tamarindo. We loved the beach chairs and towels too. The apartment was clean and the A/C was great. The building was hard to find and not well marked. The lock to get into the apartment is not user-friendly. The woman in the apartment next to us (who has been there for 2+ months) said that everyone has had great difficulty getting inside.

Great location,  easy walk to cary of restaurants and shops. Only 7 min stroll to the beach and beach front restaurants. Many other amenities close by

Everything at this unit was as described! Everything was clean and we had all the basics for cooking, making coffee, and fridge/freezer for storing food. The ACs in both rooms worked very well and kept cool. The small patio right outside was perfect for dining and the pool was clean and beautiful. Restaurants and beach are well within walking distance. Although we did not use them as we had brought our own, this unit did have some beach accessories to take with you like folding chairs and small paddle boards. We enjoyed our stay so much that we booked an additional night and appreciate Tim for accommodating us. I would definitely bring more family back here!! Pura Vida!

we ended up booking for an additional night since our stay was so great. very peaceful location with great pool and the place has everything you need. we loved that it was so walkable.

Tim's place was great for my first trip to Costa Rica. Tamarindo is a great little beach town. Tim's condo complex felt extremely safe and the property manager lives in the complex. Full of guests from all over and family-friendly. Quiet, except for the early-rising howler monkeys, which we were able to watch in the trees one morning! Having a golf cart was essential since it is off the main road, but the other walking enterance/exit was flatter, it just took us a day to figure out it existed! Everything you need is on the main road. We really enjoyed our time in Tamarindo and will be back! Thanks for your help Tim (and team)!

Thanks for an easy and comfortable stay at Tamarindo Paradise. My family and I enjoyed Tim's place.

The property was beautiful with native trees/bushes and homey-feeling furniture. It was a comfortable space and served our purposes. The pool was our favorite part. :)

My favourite Airbnb so far. We like cozy and comfortable places. Tamarindo can get very busy, but this place is very quiet, if you need to get away of the craziness, this place is perfect for you. Beautiful place, close to everything. Kitchen has everything you need.  If you like to cook there is a grocery store down the road. You can find peace at the pool or walk downtown (3 minutes) or to the beach (8 minutes). Perfect for a family of 4. Enjoy

I would highly recommend Tim's place. Very responsive host to communications. Choice location to be quickly in the center of Tamarindo and the beach, but without being too much in the action. We were several families traveling together and we loved having our own accommodation with the shared pool.

Je recommande fortement le logement de Tim. Hôte très réactif aux communications. Emplacement de choix pour être rapidement au centre de Tamarindo et à la plage, mais sans être trop dans l’action. Nous étions plusieurs familles à voyager ensemble et nous avons adoré avoir chacun notre logement avec la piscine commune.

The place was great for us with our 4 month old and Tim was very responsive. One of the condo caretakers, Isobel, watched our son a couple of times and she was amazing with him - 10/10. The only thing we didn't like is the high pitch background noise of a generator that's going constantly.

We enjoyed staying at this condo. Other residents were friendly and helpful. It’s off the main road but very easy to get to all the action. I couple of very nice restaurants are only a few minutes away walking. A grocery store was also very close. We’ll definitely consider staying here again if we visit Tamarindo.

Amazing stay! Looking forward to returning- thank you!

Great place to stay, we had a great time. Quiet, close to the town, private, just great experience and a wonderful price.

We had a fantastic stay at this cozy apartment in Tamarindo! The location was perfect—close to plenty of restaurants, shops, and just a short walk to the beach. We also felt very safe in the gated community, which gave us peace of mind during our trip. The two-bedroom layout was just right for our family, giving everyone enough space and privacy. The pool was an awesome bonus, especially on rainy days when we didn’t feel like walking to the beach. We also loved spending time outside on the little patio—it was such a relaxing spot. Overall, this place truly felt like home during our time in Tamarindo. Highly recommend for anyone looking for comfort, convenience, and a great family-friendly stay!

Small apartment, perfect for our needs. Very responsive host. Great value. Definitely recommend! Thanks!

Petit appartement parfait pour nos besoins. Hôte très réactif. Excellente valeur qualité-prix. Nous recommandons définitivement! Merci!

The airbnb is a nice location close to the beach and restaurants and shops. Everything is walkable which is very convenient. The condos are great and the security features provide peace of mind to families with kids. Kids had a lot of fun at the beach and the pool. Nice place to unwind and relax after a nice long day outside. Would recommend for all families.

Great location. Tim’s place was perfect for our needs of our small family of 4. It worked well for the short time period we were there. it was nice to have the pool there as kids were able to play. Living room space was small but for the short period we were there, it was fine! Kitchen had everything that we needed in order to cook a couple meals. Overall, I would recommend it.

The accommodations where great. A little difficult to find and the road isn’t in the greatest condition. Luckily we had an suv with awd. Woke up the one night to the howler monkeys and saw cappuchin monkeys in the tree above the pool. Super close to the town with tons of options. Amazing beaches. Would definitely recommend. Only downside was we only got cold water on the last day after a long day at the beach.

great place! my family and I had a wonderful time!

Excellent place, fully equipped, close to the beach and with extra amenities such as beach chairs

Excelente lugar , full equipado , cerca de la playa  y con comodidades extras como sillas para playa

My group absolutely loved our stay! Tim provided recommendations around town for us to try and all of the ones we tried were amazing! The kitchen was stocked with everything we needed and it came in handy. The property is far enough tucked away where it's quiet at night but close enough to where it is a quick walk to town! I would absolutely recommend this listing for anyone wanting to spend some time in Tamarindo, thank you Tim!

Tims place was wonderful to stay at. He was an incredible host as well.

This place is a peace of heaven.  It's well situated, close to town and markets but far enough from the noise.  We enjoyed the 'extra' comforts of extra seating on the deck, flutter board for the pool and the beach chairs!  Overall great experience!!

The location was very good, it is convenient to use the car to go to the beach and downtown, but it is just a few minutes away The house is well equipped The stay was very good

La ubicación estaba muy bien , conviene mover el coche para ir a la playa y centro pero está a pocos minutos La casa está bien equipada La estadía fue muy buena

This place was perfect for our family of 4, with 2 bedrooms and equipped kitchen. The pool and patio was fantastic, and it was a nice quiet compound above Tamarindo. Very close to restaurants, market and short walk to the beach. Pura vida!

Loved the ease of check in and value of the place. Howler monkeys in the trees above the property danw and dusk. Thanks Tim!

We LOVED staying at this airbnb. The location was perfect. It was walking distance to the beach (approx 8 minutes), had amazing restaurants nearby, yet was quiet and serene. We felt so safe staying here. It is a little gated community with security cameras and we loved meeting the neighbors who also were in the complex. The room had great A/C, was comfortable and very clean. The pool is also so nice, I recommend taking advantage of it! Overall such a relaxing and wonderful stay. We highly recommend and hope to be back soon!

We enjoyed our stay at Tim's place. The place was quiet and really close to restaurants and the beach. We appreciated the presence of the pool and the possibility of using a bodyboard for the children.

Nous avons beaucoup apprécié notre séjour chez Tim. L’endroit était calme et vraiment tout près des restaurants et de la plage. Nous avons apprécié la présence de la piscine et la possibilité d’utiliser un bodyboard pour les enfants.

Nice clean place, great pool. We would stay again!

We had the best time here! We ended our girls trip in Tamarindo and this was the perfect place. It was a 5 minute walk to so many restaurants, bars, cafes. beach clubs and the beach. It was the perfect location to walk around and check out the town. The pool was the perfect temperature and very quiet. Tim was very responsive when we needed something, we loved our time here and will definitely be back!!

The location is absolutely beautiful and the condo was clean, had all the amenities listed and was conveniently located. The pool was a definite highlight for our family. The wifi was very slow but it gave us an excuse to disconnect. :) We highly recommend this condo to anyone visiting Tamarindo.

We had a very nice stay. The place was conveniently located and had all we needed for our week long stay in Tamarindo.

Perfect little paradise within paradise. 5 minutes from downtown with a little oasis outside of your doorstep

Un lugar hermoso y tranquilo, nos encantó

Great spot in Tamarindo!  My brother and I stayed here for two weeks and really enjoyed ourselves. It's close to everything, comfortable, quite and the pool area is perfect. Thanks Tim and thanks to the property managers for keeping a wonderful spot to enjoy a vacation. We'd come back for sure!

Excellent service, impeccable cleanliness, excellent attention from the staff in charge of the facilities, an apartment with all the amenities

Excelente servicio, limpieza impecable, atención del personal encargado de las instalaciones excelente, un apartamento con todas las comodidades

I really liked the. Very quiet place , close to the beach and above all very clean , thank you very much I would stay there again 👌😁

Me gusto mucho el.lugar muy tranquilo , cerca de la playa y sobre todo muy limpio , muchas gracias me volvería a quedar ahi 👌😁

Great location, walking distance to beach, restaurants, grocery stores.

Emplacement idéal, à distance de marche de la plage, restos, épiceries.

Our family, 2 adults and two young children loves our stay. Certainly would stay again!

Tim was an excellent host. He very quickly answered any of the messages I sent him with questions. His place was lovely, just as it shows in the photos. Everything we needed was in his place. It made the holiday for myself and my grandchildren, age 6 and 14, wonderful!

Great Airbnb, WiFi was a bit slow. But, overall it was a great stay and I would stay here again. It’s a great location and short walking distance to the beach and town.

Perfect location. Pool area is amazing. Clean condo.

We felt immediately at home. Host was super responsive. Value for money was great! Place was extremely comfortable and easy to check in. Pool was perfect!

The condo is cozy, but you're staying here for the pool, the monkeys in the mango tree, and the walking distance to everything in Tamarindo, so you won't be inside much!

Great location about 5 minutes walk from central Tamarindo. The apartment is a bit worn and the bathroom really needs some sprucing up (grout in the shower was really nasty and toilet quite stained). However, the pool was great! Roofers were working while we were there, so the outside was quite dusty

Place is a perfect stay for a family or a few friends hitting Tamarindo! Super close to everything nice gated place felt super safe. The pool is the perfect spot to relax after a long hot beach day! Will stay here again next time I’m in town!

We had a great stay here! The best part was the pool area in the middle - relaxing and also a great place to hang out and meet some other guests. they have 3 parking spots inside the gated area, but also plenty of parking just outside the gate in a safe area. Location was great, you could walk out the door on the backside and get to main part of town in 4-5 min. Tim gave clear instructions for check-in, and Stephanie was there on-site to manage any questions we had during the stay. Will definitely come back, thanks Tim and Stephanie!

We loved our stay.  We will be back for sure!

Very nice location, clean. Tim responds quickly. But the bathroom and kitchen sink deserve work.

Très bel emplacement, propre. Tim répond rapidement. Mais la salle de bain et l’évier de la cuisine méritent des travaux.

Very nice stay. Easy communication, great location and very nice pool

Unit needs some updating. Especially sinks and shower. Bed was comfortable but only a double. The complex was very well maintained. Pool cleaned daily.

A little hard to find but the host was very responsive. Nice space close to everything.

My friend and I had a wonderful month long stay at Tim’s place. Tim is a responsive host and though I never met him personally he gave me all of the information I needed to have a seamless stay! The pool is exceptionally clean and the perfect place to relax after a morning excursion or a day at the beach. The apartment is comfortable with reliable air conditioning and seems much larger than it is due to the great outdoor space-which is where we ate breakfast daily and spent time most evenings after dinner. The howler monkey family that made several appearances in the trees around the property was a fantastic bonus! I definitely recommend staying here and would gladly stay here again.

Tim's place is great spot to visit Tamarindo. The apartment complex was well appointed and the residents friendly. I would/will stay here again when I come back to Costa Rica

The place was in a great location, Tim was a great host. Would definitely stay again. Pura vida

Tim’s place is great if you are looking for a quiet place walkable distance to everything! The condo is a short walk to the main roads, but far enough that you do not hear the traffic and people. The pool area is perfect for lounging and cooling down. The kitchen had everything we needed if we wanted to eat at home. Tim was very responsive and even shared a thorough list of restaurants to check out for breakfast, lunch and dinner! Will recommend to friends and family and for sure rent again next time we go to Tamarindo!

The location is great because it is a quiet area. The silence at night to sleep is priceless. The pool gives it that magical touch. And that proximity to everything makes the place a place to go back to. Tim was always on the lookout for messages and needs that one might have. Very courteous.

La ubicación es genial porque es una zona tranquila. El silencio por la noche para dormir no tiene precio. La piscina le da ese toque mágico. Y esa cercanía a todo hace que el lugar sea un lugar para volver. Tim siempre estuvo atento a los mensajes y necesidades que uno pudiese tener. Muy cortés.

Excellent location, it is very comfortable and has what is needed.

Excelente ubicación, es muy cómodo y tiene lo que se necesita.

Great location with nice amenities. Tim was also very helpful and responsive and provided great local recommendations.

Location, location, location. Walkable to the beach and many restaurant, bars and shops in Tamarindo. Condo is cozy and has basics for your stay. Host was super responsive!

It's a very quiet and safe place. With lots of amenities. Very clean and 5 minute walk to downtown tamarindo. I hope to return soon

Lugar muy tranquilo y seguro. Con muchas comodidades. Muy limpio y a 5 minutos caminando al centro de tamarindo. Espero volver pronto

My six weeks stay in the condo couldn’t have gone better. It’s in a great complex with a really nice pool. It’s perfectly located a quick three minute walk to town and five minutes to the beach but it’s far enough from the main part of town that it feels secluded and is completely quiet and peaceful. Tim and his brother are great hosts. Everything in the condo is brand new, drapes, silver ware, bedding, etc. Couldn’t have asked for a better Airbnb.  Will definitely be booking it on future Tamarindo trips.

The place is very comfortable, a comfortable location, close to the beach walking. Good air conditioning. Very nice pool with nice atmosphere. Very attentive hosts and good service. Would stay again

El lugar muy cómodo, una ubicación comoda, cercana a la playa caminando. Buen aire condicionado. Una piscina muy linda con un ambiente agradable. Los host muy atentos y buen servicio. Me hospedaría de nuevo
