Bert was a great host! The house was great, as was the neighborhood. Bert was extremely responsive and made the entire stay enjoyable and convenient. Thank you for everything Bert!

No notes! Amazing home, amazing host, amazing location, amazing vacation. Can’t wait to come back ❤️

We had a wonderful time at Bert’s place! The location was perfect, close to town and easy to walk to the beach! We spent lots of time in the pool and were able to really relax and enjoy our time! Bert was super responsive and helpful! Thanks again Bert and Olga!

Our family stay at Bert's Casa in Tamarindo was fabulous! The accommodation was perfect and the kids loved having the pool. Just a short walk to the beach, we enjoyed all the Tamarindo had to offer. The communication was excellent, and Josue and Juanita kept the house running smoothly for our whole visit. Would definitely go back again.

Absolutely loved our stay! The house is gorgeous, the beds are incredibly comfortable, and the pool is perfect for relaxing. Fantastic location just steps from the sea, and the host was wonderfully responsive. Couldn’t have asked for more!

Really remarkably wonderful service. Not only gave great recommendations but they actually would call and book activities for us. Anything we needed was expertly and promptly handled.

Thank you so much for this very kind review guys 🙏🙏🙏

We have stayed many times in the area. We enjoyed the location, however the home was not as we expected. The outdoor fan blades were missing, the pool deck was in disrepair with holes, the casita toilet had a smell and the linens and towels need a refresh as they’re very worn and old. The host did provide a temporary fix to the pool deck and sent over dish detergent in a reasonable amount of time. I would stay in the area again but not at this location. The security was nice, quick walk to the very rocky beach and the pool functioned well. The property does not allow you to use the laundry, but they do provide the service if that works for your family. Also, the primary  shower is outside only, which was quite a surprise.

This rental did not go as smooth as I wanted it to be. The family mentioned quite some issues around the house : a piece of wood broken here, a piece of plastic loose there, a toilet that did not flush well enough, an insect appearing inside of the house, etc etc Every day seemed to bring another tiny issue. This family just seemed very high maintenance and difficult to please. Even our restaurant recommendations in the area were a topic of disagreement 💁‍♂️ Rentals at our home the week before them and the week after them went flawless and everybody seemed very excited to be staying at the villa, so either it was pure bad luck or our home wasn’t a very good fit ! I would not rent again to this family ☹️👎 I do regret that they were not very excited about their stay but I know our team put in maximum effort ?

What an absolutely amazing experience at Villa Ethir in Tamarindo! I booked the villa for Katrina, Tobyn, and their kids, and from the start, the communication with Bert (the owner) was outstanding. He went above and beyond to make sure everything was smooth—from helping me book a rental car to providing fantastic local recommendations for restaurants and activities. When he realized there might be some nearby construction noise, he immediately arranged guest passes for a nearby resort as a thoughtful gesture. His attention to detail and genuine care made planning this trip so much easier. From Katrina and the family’s perspective, the stay itself was just as wonderful. The location is unbeatable—just steps from a picturesque beach—and the villa is exactly as pictured, if not better. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything they needed, and Josué, the on-site contact, was always available, kind, and incredibly helpful. Both Bert and Josué made the whole experience seamless.

Place was beautiful. Phenomenal location. Bert was incredibly responsive and helpful in planning our stay.

I’ve rented from several Airbnb hosts before, but I’ve never experienced such a wonderful, hands-on owner as Bert. He truly goes above and beyond to ensure his guests feel welcomed and cared for. Bert is an amazing individual who takes the time to make sure everything in his power is perfect. The home itself is in a fantastic location, just steps away from the beach, and Tamarindo is a wonderful area to explore.

We had a fantastic stay! Bert and Josue were very responsive and helped us with everything we needed. The house was great, very walkable to the beach and downtown. We will definitely be back in Tamarindo and would love to stay here again!

Bert’s place was very convenient to all of the activities we wanted to do and far enough away from town to be peaceful.  Bert’s suggestions for restaurants and activities were perfect. A few maintenance issues during our stay but Jose was on it right away.  We enjoyed our stay.  Thank you!

It is a beautiful casa in a secure community. The house is tastefully decorated and has everything needed for cooking. The property manager is very helpful and responds quickly when needed. Our family had a wonderful vacation.

What an incredible stay! Location and home are amazing and the host as well as staff on the ground were fantastic.  All went above and beyond to make our stay memorable for all the right reasons.  Highly recommend staying here.

Beautiful home located very close to restaurants, shops and the beach. We liked that the neighborhood was gated and monitored by security. The beds were very comfortable and everything was extremely clean and tidy. The pool was great and the and decor, lighting etc. all well done. Also hosts were extremely kind, helpful and responsive.

The place was AMAZING and great location. My boys loved the pool, we had a small problem with the pool due to the rain and Bert made sure it was taken care of asap. We loved how easy it was to walk on the beach to town.

The location is fantastic and gives effortless access to both Tamarindo and Langosta beaches. Honestly, I think Bert is really the best thing about Villa Ethir. It was extremely hot while we were there and as a family, not everyone was on the same page of what to do all the time. So there was lots of walking back and forth to town, which typically would have been no big deal if it was over 100 degrees with insane humidity. We decided to get a golf cart to help, but everyone was sold out. Bert came to our rescue, called around, and had a gold cart delivered to us in 2 hours. All of his dining recommendations were excellent and he was responsive within minutes whenever we had a question. Lovely human & excellent host.

Bert and team were very attentive.  Good location.

Our stay was wonderful. The house is in a great location. Easy to walk to a mellow beach or the more lively Tamarindo beach.

Thanks Mercedes. Glad you enjoyed our home for your Christmas location

Amazing 🤩! If your even considering this place BOOK IT! Bert is the most responsive, helpful, and nicest host we’ve ever had and his place is magical! Private yet close to everything via golf cart, safe & secure, and the coolest vibe ever! We spent 6 glorious days here and made memories forever. Highly recommend and cannot say enough good things about Villa Ethir!

Peace personified. Bert and his house manager, Josue were outstanding, kind, gracious hosts. Deeply committed to providing resources, booking activities/dinners/house keeping/massages/making recommendations brought a sense of ease and care to my stay. The home itself is a dream. Incredibly clean, comfortable, uniquely lovely. Truly the most attentive stay and host I’ve encountered to date.

Playa Tamarindo  is one of the best beaches in Costa Rica. Bert's home is a great location to experience it.  His place is located about a 3 minute walk to the beach. Private access (with the other residents of the community).  However,  unable to see or hear the ocean from the home. There is a house directly in front of Bert's home.  In addition, we were hoping for more privacy. Unannounced, Bert's cleaning crew entered the home  3 times during our stay. There is also a security camera overlooking the pool that was not disclosed. Overall,  nice place, great location but not worth the money.

Wow, Nathaniel ... this is very unexpected. Especially seeing we were in contact during your entire stay. Couple of responses : - end to our garden to the beach is about 20 meter/65 ft ... takes me less than a minute ? - there is ocean view from the terrace ; I hear, see and smell the ocean when I am on the terrace ??? there is no house in front of my house, Nathaniel ... why would you say that ? It's obvious in the pictures that there is ocean view from terrace and a beach trail in front of my home - privacy : when our property manager checked you in, you could have easily said no to our Juanita's services (our cleaning lady) ; especially seeing it was all included in your price. I truly don't mind if you wish more privacy but instead of that you wrote me that you were very grateful she washed and folded your laundry ... I don't understand your comment ??? You were told which mornings Juanita was going to visit. It was very easy to just say no. - security cameras are mentioned here and are pointed at entrances (front porch ; back garden and front garden) ... not at the pool ? I truly have better things to do than to watch at clients in the pool. Security cameras are there for you and your belongings safety. - not worth the money : sorry you feel that way ; considering you had a 40% discount it's probably safe to say we were both expecting different things

We loved the location. It was in a gated community and had walking paths to both Playa Tamarindo and Playa Longosta. The house configuration is really interesting with 2 bedrooms detached from the main house. The "close but not together" was ideal for our teenager. We loved sitting outside in the evenings. We saw lots of wildlife passing through the yard! There were also 2 neighborhood kitties that napped around the pool. The kitchen was very basic and lighting not ideal for cooking at night(after 6pm). This may not be an issue if you are not planning on cooking much, but for us, we cooked most meals at home. We were very thankful to be in such a nice place just beyond all of the noise and activity of Tamarindo.

My family stayed at Bert's home and had a fabulous time. The location is ideal - walking distance to everything. We loved our 10 minute commute walk along the beach to get into Tammarindo each day. Loved that we didn't need to rent a car and the walk got us on the beach every day. The home is located in a private gated community with guards 24/7 so felt safe at night and appreciated the consistency of the guards checking everyone who came in. The private pool was a huge plus for the kids and the outdoor space was ideal for family gatherings, dinners and drinks. When we were at the house most of our time was spent in the outdoor space. There is a table for dining, chairs for lounging and just a quiet private space we could all enjoy. Bert and his team are amazing. I had a few questions here and there and Bert was always quick to respond and help. We worked with Susi and Josue, both were so helpful and their recommendations definitely helped us have an amazing vacation!!

Great house to go and relax and spend time with just my son and I. Very close to two beaches steps away. Bert was great. Perfect place to learn how to surf ! Best place to just chill and relax in the evening while doing adventures during the day. Bert was a fantastic host and helped us book everything

Bert was a perfect host, booking activities, restaurants, etc. at our request. Extremely responsive with requests and provided home cooked breakfasts, upon request, with his wonderful staff. Bert provided recommendations for all things we wanted to do, eat and explore. The location is perfect, especially for families who may want to walk to town but not be in town. We had a great experience staying there and wouldn't hesitate to do so again.

Thank you Bert’s for letting us stay at your beautiful place and the best location and cross the street is the best Italian restaurant Pura vida Thank you

Truly beautiful home in fantastic location. HIGHLY recommend it and will come back.

This house and its location are awesome! My family of four, wife and two late teen kids, spent a week here and we couldn't have been more pleased. Located in a private gated community, right next to the beach, with an amazing swimming pool, we found it difficult to ever leave the place and go explore. Our boys each had their own room away from the main house, which they LOVED, and the wife and I had the house to ourselves. Bert the owner was so gracious in pre travel planning, he was there to meet us upon arrival, and was always quick to respond to any questions while we were there. Top notch for sure. If we go back this is where we will stay again. If in Tamarindo, and looking for a no doubter place to stay, this is a brilliant option. Pura Vita!

Our family of 5 stayed here for 8 days in May. Bert (and Carolina when Bert was out of town) was very helpful, she is a wonderful host. The main house with a master bedroom, en suite bathroom, family room, kitchen and half bath for guests is on one side of the pool, and the two smaller bedrooms (each with an en suite bathroom) are on the other side. The main house is wonderful, decorated tastefully and very comfortable, we loved the outdoor shower. The two smaller bedrooms are simpler but functional. The pool is very nice, the pool guy/gardener came by a few times to clean it, as did Juanita the cleaning lady for the house, who is very nice. The kitchen is well-stock and we enjoyed the Espresso machine. We also liked the fact that it was a gated community, the whole Tamarindo area felt pretty safe anyway, but this certainly added to the feeling of safety. You can get to either Langosta beach or Tamarindo beach with a 5 minute walk, we spent most of our time on Tamarindo beach, we found it nicer for both walking and getting in the water. Most of the restaurants in Tamarindo town are about a 20 minute walk, some in Langosta are closer, within a 5-10 minute walk, we had a car so that made things a little easier. All in all, Bert’s place is a wonderful place to stay in, and we will be staying here again the next time we are in Tamarindo.

Beautiful home & outdoor space, great location. There is construction in the neighborhood that can be heard on week days. Otherwise lovely stay!

Great spot!  Love the modern decor and how large and evenly spaced the bedrooms are.  Pool gets cleaned everyday and is perfect!  Kitchen also fully stocked. Had an awesome private chef experience one night.

This beach house was sublime. The pictures are beautiful, but it’s even better in person. The house is located in a private, gated community, and is a 3 minute walk to each of Tamarindo and Langosta beaches - there is a private entrance to each beach just for the community. Recommend walking down late afternoon with a book and a glass of wine to enjoy the sunset. Access leads down to the quiet ends of each beach - no noise or crowds. The house has everything you could possibly need, including a well-stocked kitchen that I very much enjoyed cooking in. We stayed for a month, and worked remote for most of it - wifi was perfect. I loved the soaking tub in the master bath, and the outdoor shower was amazing. Our 11 year old daughter loved staying in the casitas across the pool from us - everyone had their own space. Juanita the housekeeper is an absolute sweetheart, and kept the place sparkling! House is very close to Tamarindo - about 5 minute drive. Close to great restaurants, and nightlife if you’re looking for that sort of thing. Highly recommend Bert’s place - we will definitely be back!!

This is a beautiful modern home. The location couldn't be more perfect. Close walking distance to be main surf beaches and life of Tamarindo but also far enough to be quiet and secluded from it all. The manager was great. He was always ready to help with whatever we needed. Can't wait to be back.

This house delivered everything we needed and more.  Bert, the host, was very communicative and helpful.  The house staff keeps the house and grounds very clean. The location is awesome as you get access to both Tamarindo beach and Playa Langosta.    For the times you want just a little music and pool time you can just stay home.  There is easy access from this house to a public area to watch the sunset on top of the Rocky Point.  Next time we come back to Tamarindo with a group we will for sure look into renting this house again.

It was a great week, with some hosts very attentive to us and always giving us quick answers. The location of the house is great and the house is very beautiful and having the beach and the town of Tamarindo within walking distance makes everything easy. It is a great alternative to spend a few very good beach days.

Fue una estupenda semana, con unos anfritiones muy pendientes de nosotros y siempre dandonos respuestas rapidas. La ubicacion de la casa es estupenda y la casa muy bella y el tener la playa y el pueblo de Tamarindo a una distancia caminando facilita todo. Es una gran alternativa para pasar unos dias de playa muy buenos.

wow ! we loved this place. they did an incredible job on designing this house  everything was well thought out. super clean with a private pool , no close neighbors , 3 mins walk and you on the beach , super safe, the price definitely matches the value , great staff also

This is a brand new beautiful home in a very upscale part of Tamarindo. Easy access to two beaches. Very short drive (walkable) to town. The house is immaculate with super cool design. We loved lounging in the pool and outdoor space. The hosts were nothing but amazing - provide us with top notch service. They made all our dinner reservations weeks in advance and even booked our surf lessons. Anything we needed, they responded immediately. Thank you again for letting us stay at your beautiful home.

David, thanks so much for your kind words. We are really happy you and your family had a great experience. We hope to see you again. Take care

Clearly an amazing place. Photos do not do it justice. High-end linens. Beds were as good as Heavenly Beds at Westin. Kitchen has everything you need to make great meals. Bert and Joah are very kind and excited to help. Beaches were cool, and easy access as described. Kids were very unhappy to leave. I did tell them to make it clear that the 2 extra bedrooms are separate from the main home, so not ideal for a young family if you want to be under one roof. Beach chairs would be a nice touch. This is a no-brainer. You will love this place. We'd definitely go back. Consider eating at the oddly named Italian Restaurant across from the main entrance to the property (fish and cheese, or cheese and fish--either way, strange name for a pretty excellent Italian restaurant). Wow, writing this makes me want to go back so badly...
