5BR villa in Tamarindo

Sunset House - Oceanview, steps to beach - Villas for Rent in Tamarindo, Guanacaste, Costa Rica

This place made the trip. We went on my bachelor party with the intention of having activities (surfing, ATVs, catamaran, swimming, etc), along with enough of a town to have great dinners and some fun nightlife options nearby. It had everything and more, we had the best weekend I could have imagined. Highly highly recommend setting up golf carts for the time there, was a huge help for quickly buzzing around town. Way more to do around there than anticipated!  Ten stars.

Thank you Taylor! You guys were great.  Glad you had a nice time and hope to have you back soon.

Karina is an amazing host. She went above and beyond to take care of us. She accommodated our last minute requests. Will definitely be back soon

Thank you so much Ahsan for the kind words.  We loved hosting you and your beautiful family!

We had a fantastic stay at the Sunset House in Tamarindo with our family of 11. The location was wonderful, offering beautiful views and easy access to the town and beach. The house itself was spacious, well-equipped, and perfect for a multi-generational family gathering. The only small downside was the steep driveway, which was a bit challenging for our older family members, and even that was easily overcome with a golf cart. Overall, though, it was a memorable vacation spot and we’d happily return!

Had a great stay at sunset casa, everything was pristine, better than the photos !

Karina and the entire staff were amazing. Extremely helpful, attentive, proactive and kind. Karina was a pleasure to work with and the communication was stellar. The house itself is breathtaking and the pictures don’t do it justice. It’s a wonderful place for a large group to relax, cook, have fun, and use as a centralized point for getting out to do a ton of excursions and in town exploring. Highly, highly recommend!

Pictures definitely do not do this beautiful house justice.  Amazing trip with friends and family. There was a total of 9 people with our two families, and the house had plenty of room for everyone.  The staff was absoloutley wonderful! Karina went above and beyond to make sure we were taken care of, from the time we checked in to the time we checked out. Karina’s recommendation to hire Chef Fabien for some private meals was excellent! Geovanna’s breakfast preparation, laundry services and cleaning were top tier.   We were definitely spoiled for our 5 day stay and wanted to take her home with us.   Mario was there for any services needed.  Celia walking and securing the grounds each night gave me piece of mind with our kids in different rooms and gave us the relaxation needed.  This experience and home went above and beyond my expectations.  I wouldnt have changed one thing about our stay.  It was a perfect location and home.  We will definitely be back on our next trip to Costa Rica.

Incredible stay at a magical house that worked perfectly for two families with five children. Well stocked and staffed and Karina was incredibly helpful finding local tour guides and chefs to cook elegant private dinners. Five stars - will visit again

We had an incredible stay at Sunset House. Top notch location, service and space and the views cannot be beat! We would highly recommend for families or a group of couples who want a quiet getaway to relax and enjoy Costa Rica.

Karina and the entire staff were incredible from start to finish. Everything was taken care of and every detail covered. Breakfast each morning was delicious! We couldn’t have asked for a better trip. The best memories and best time was had by all thanks to Karina and the entire staff at the Sunset House.

Wow! My stay at this Airbnb was absolutely phenomenal—the best place I’ve ever stayed…ever. The pictures just don’t do it justice; the villa is beyond stunning in person. The views from the villa were nothing short of spectacular, making every moment magical. Karina and Darius were exceptional hosts, remembering every little detail and going above and beyond to ensure our stay was perfect. They even surprised me with a birthday gift from the villa, making my birthday trip with friends incredibly special. The villa offered fantastic amenities, including laundry service, and they arranged events and massages for us at the villa upon request. It was an unbelievably special stay, and I can’t recommend this place enough. Thank you, Karina and Darius, for making this trip unforgettable!

We had been planning (for almost a year) a vacation for our family- including 4 children (all in their 20's) and their significant others. We had a party of 9. With the help of Karina and her prompt responses, our vacation was seamless. For starters, the house was simply amazing. The pictures are accurate, everyone had their own space when they wanted, and the nightly sunsets were incredible. The pics don't do it justice. The staff- including Geovanna, Mario and the night guard Celia made our stay even nicer. All very respectful of our presence in the house. We were served breakfast every day- family style- with plenty of fresh fruits and Costa Rican dishes. A few tips: A vehicle is not necessary! We rented (2) 4 seater golf carts to get around town and beach jaunts. Karina supplied us with a list of chefs. We chose Chef Fabien to cook for our party of 9 for 3 nights. Every meal was different and delicious- highly recommend. Thank you Karina!! We will return to CR for sure!

The house was beautiful and well maintained.  Host was very responsive and staff were amazing.

We had the most magical time at the sunset house. The staff, especially Karina, Katherine , josue, took great care of us. The communicated extensively from the get go. Geovanna made us breakfast everyday and kept the house and our clothes impeccable. She was such a sweet heart. Would highly recommend stocking the fridge for extra snacks. The breakfasts were amazing. We had delicious omelets, fresh fruits the best local coffee. The view, sound of the ocean. Monkeys that visited all of it. Just magical. Would highly recommend a golf cart it’s a bit of a hike up and down to the beach and stores etc. We had so much fun with the golf carts. We had one parked outside that we would just hop in. Huge plus, mosquitos not an issuer as they have a mist system. Awesome sparkling and  filtered water dispenser. The owner has done a nice job hiring people. Thank you again for the most memorable trip ever for my birthday with my family. Tip the staff generously, they go above and beyond.

This place was beyond our expectations and the entire staff was generous and helpful throughout. Karina and Katherine made sure we had everything we needed both prior to arriving and throughout our stay (helping with transport, tours, plans, etc.) Giovanna and Roberto ensured the place was super clean and prepared the perfect breakfasts every day (pancakes, French toast, fresh fruit, eggs, bacon, sausages). We'd love to come back and would recommend this space to anyone. It really is a gem.

Our stay at Sunset House was absolutely incredible! If you're going to Tamarindo I cannot recommend it more strongly! Karina and Katherine were super responsive both before and during our stay, helping us coordinate airport transit, understand all of the add-on services at the AirBnB, book excursions, and answer any questions we had. The other staff were also amazing. Geovanna, our housekeeper, prepared delicious breakfasts each morning, kept the villa impeccably clean, took care of our laundry, and in general was super friendly. We also had a night security guard on the property for added security, although we never felt unsafe in any way in Tamarindo. I would also HIGHLY recommend booking the chef services. Chef Hugo prepared us 3 absolutely delicious meals during our stay, and the price was super reasonable per person. The arroz con leche is a must! The villa itself was everything promised in the add and more. The pictures honestly don't do it justice... nothing could beat that view. And the pool is both bigger and deeper than it looks! There's nothing like showering in the outdoor shower in the primary master, in the open air with an ocean view, to make you want to stay forever. Tamarindo itself is a lovely little town, and we were there over Halloween weekend so there some nightlife and fun to be had. Plus. The beach is wonderful! Overall, Sunset House was by far the best AirBnB I've ever stayed in and I wouldn't hesitate to book it again!

Absolutely perfect stay!  Not only is the house one of the most beautiful houses (with the best view!) I have stayed in, the attentive and phenomenal staff made our stay that much better.  Would stay here again in a heartbeat, and will be recommending it to others.  Thank you!

On the first day, we learned why the name of the house as it is perfectly set in front of one of the most beautiful sunsets I have ever seen. It has a great location with stunning views with a friendly and attentive staff. The kitchen was well equipped. Karina is a fantastic hostess at all levels!!!

Great host and staff. Very responsive and accommodating to all request. Highly recommended!

Absolutely amazing! Very tough to leave! The home is gorgeous and the view is breathtaking. The staff attended to every need and were extremely helpful in assisting booking any tours, dinner experiences, etc. would highly recommend!

This villa is next level. The staff was behind phenomenal and the house was absolutely amazing. The views, the location, the breakfast. We don’t have one complaint at all. Get a couple golf carts to cruise Tamarindo and enjoy. That’s my advice. I’ll be back for sure. Gonna upgrade it to Alang Alang next tho.

Fantastic home!  Couldn’t have been better.  Staff was awesome.  Great location.

The Sunset House and all of its staff were the absolute best! We have never experienced a house and amenities like this before, and we are so grateful for the experience. Karina, Katherine, Hugo, Andrea, and Giovanna were the best—professional, kind, and so helpful! Hugo and Andrea prepared for hours making amazing meals for us each night (cooking the fish we caught deep sea fishing that day or anything we requested including dessert!) and we awoke every morning to Giovanna’s delicious breakfast (fresh squeezed juice, fruit, eggs, pancakes, and delicious Costa Rican coffee). They even coordinated a special cake for a birthday. The house was immaculately clean and Giovanna did our laundry each day. Even though we felt safe in Tamarindo, we also a night watch person on the property. The photos do not do justice to the house and its views—absolutely spectacular! Waking up every morning to the sounds of birds and howler monkeys in the distance and the sunsets at night were absolutely stunning! Sitting in the outdoor chairs is relaxation at its height. You could easily spend all day at the house, but it was also wonderful to leave for a few hours and then come back to jump in the pool, have a cocktail, and sit down to a homemade meal. We were all so grateful! We had three families and it was perfect. Adults had their own rooms and the kids shared the bunk room, which is really nice. The natural bug spray kept the bugs at bay, a huge undertaking in Costa Rica. The kids (and adults) loved the pool and we rented two golf carts to get around town. Karina connected us with Xplore to coordinate our excursions which included zip lining, ATV riding, surfing lessons, on-site massages, deep-sea fishing, and all of our transportation. It was all very reliable and of course fun! Our trip would have been one of the best of our lives except for a fall by our mother on the last day, which resulted in a broken hip. We couldn’t have navigated the Costa Rican medical system without the help of Karina and the staff. They went above and beyond to help us and for that we will be eternally grateful. On a side note, having travel insurance for unexpected occurrences is definitely recommended. She luckily had insurance and it helped tremendously. I won’t travel abroad again without it. Thanks again Sunset House and staff! We will definitely be visiting you again! Pure vida!

The house a amazing....Exactly as described, the view is amazing and everything was clean and well run. Highly recommend.

Without a doubt one of our best vacation rentals. Lady made sure our rooms were cleaned as well as clean clothes everyday, which was so nice to come home with with suitcase full of clean clothes. She served up the most delicious breakfast and was a joy to have around. Francisco, is a true professional and was available at all hours. We cant thank him enough for all his assistance and care.

Sunset House was a perfect 10!  From the views to the most amazing breakfasts this vacation was top notch. The staff could not have been better.  They were knowledgeable, helpful, kind and always there if you needed them.  Sunset House is more amazing in person and a perfect get away.  We plan to return ASAP!

Photos truly can't capture how spectacular the views are from the house. Amazing. The bedrooms are incredibly beautiful and spacious. We were traveling with 4 couples and everyone was very pleased with their accommodations for the visit. The housekeeping staff is incredibly nice and do a great job keeping the house clean. Everyone in our group loved the laundry service. Our group spent hours lounging by the endless pool. Honestly, we preferred spending most of our vacation at the house. We highly recommend Chef Hugo for meals at the house. He is an amazing and talented chef who is also incredibly kind and fun to be around. We will definitely be back.

The house is great. Super views and well appointed. We did have a foul oder in bedroom 2 and 3. A plumber came on Monday and helped, but the smell never went away.

The Sunset House and its staff was probably one of the best experiences I have had on vacation. We walked into the home and was stunned by the beauty of the view of the the Pacific Ocean.  The ocean breezes, picturesque sunsets, and comfortable surroundings will always be a wonderful everlasting memory for me.  I felt like I was in a treehouse with the multiple levels and various views.  You were able to get away yet be with everyone if you wanted within the house.  We were greeted by Francisco who made us feel welcomed immediately and helped us with making spa appointments, restaurants, food delivery or anything we needed to have a fantastic time.  The staff who cleaned daily, and did laundry always went above and beyond.  My family will be talking about this vacation for some time.  We are looking at Luxury Rentals for our next adventure!

Our Sunset House experience was absolutely wonderful. Three generations of family ranging in age from 3 to 72 years all had a marvelous time together. The house comfortably accommodated the entire party of 14 (8 adults and 6 children) family members. Costa Rica was a joy. We ziplined, swam everyday, rode horses, walked the beaches, surfed, and ate, ate, and ate! Luxury Retreats did a superb job of arranging the vacation from start to finish. The onsite help was pleasant, professional, and highly competent. We couldn't be more pleased and would definitely consider another similar experience sometime in the future.

We just returned from an absolutely amazing trip to Costa Rica - thanks to Luxury Retreats!  We were a group of 4 couples (mid 40's) and this was our first Luxury Retreats experience.  From the moment I started looking at possible villa options 6 months ago to the moment we said our good-byes and left the villa this week - Luxury Retreats were at our service - there to help us decide which villa was right for us, to helping with activity planning (before and during our stay), to assisting with restaurant reservations...they were extremely professional and bent over backwards to make us feel pampered and at ease that everything was taken care of.  We truly can't say enough great things and I've already told 3 other couples they MUST use Luxury Retreats for their next vacation - I'm fairly certain I've not felt so positive about any experience. We can't wait to plan our next trip with them.  Thank you to everyone who make us feel so special!!!!!

The Sunset House was absolutely breathtaking! The house is exactly like the pictures. The house provides the perfect view for the beautiful sunrises and sunsets. The infinity pool is where we spent most of our time when we weren't on the beach. The house is very spacious and accommodated our group of 14 perfect. The daily laundry service, house cleaning, and chef services (highly recommended) made the vacation stay even better. The Sunset House is perfect for your dream vacation!
