Home in Tamarindo

This home was perfect in a perfect location. I traveled with 3 kids (4,6,8) and grand parents. Grand parents were in their own guest house/suite where they could relax. The home was walkable to restaurants and the beach though we drove because of the grand parents. I would stay here again when I return to tamarindo!

We loved this property so much on our first visit to Tamarindo six years ago that we have returned again and again. The location truly could not be better. We have stayed in places with more impressive views and even directly on the beach, but nothing compares to the convenience of walking out of the front door and being right in town, while still feeling completely safe and peaceful. The wildlife makes the experience even more special. Iguanas were often waiting in the garden when we came home, and in the mornings we could hear the gentle tapping of little feet on the roof as monkeys moved between the trees. We stayed here as a family, and this home has given us memories that will last a lifetime. I rarely write reviews, but this place is genuinely special, and I felt I had to share how much it has meant to us.

Que lindas palabras Rayan. We are very excited. Casa Chavela has been our home for more than 10 years.  We are very happy that you have that feeling too. Thank you 🙏

The house is a dream, with great decor. Coming back from the outings and diving into the pool was a pleasure.

A casa é um sonho, com ótima decoração, chegar dos passeios e mergulhar na piscina era um prazer

Katia and her family were excellent guests. I hope we see each other again in the future. Highly recommended.

Beautiful stay in a good location, we had access to downtown Tamarindo, where the home is tucked away and in a safe area.

Sherilyn and her family were amazing guests. Very friendly and respectful. We loved having you at home. Goodbye.

I cannot say enough about Laura & Martin’s home. It’s absolutely gorgeous! Every inch of their home and property is beautifully maintained and decorated. It was such an oasis that our whole family felt comfortable just relaxing together at home when we needed rest days, without feeling couped up or like we were wasting precious vacation time. Everything was perfect and if I could live in their home, I absolutely would! Laura & Martin were so friendly and responsive and checked in on us throughout our stay. They were even on site when we first arrived to greet us and show us around. The best hosts! Thank you both for such a wonderful stay. This was a trip of a lifetime for our whole family ❤️

It was a pleasure for us to meet you and host you at home. We are really very happy that you enjoyed the town and your stay at Casa Chavela. See you soon.

Great house with good vibes. Good location close to town. AC works well in the rooms. Kitchen is well stocked with pots and pans. Pool is very warm though.

Loved the place! Tastefully designed and decorated. Thoroughly enjoyed the pool and outdoor area! Also loved that there wasn't a long list of things to do on checkout:) Would recommend to anyone.

Our experience was excellent from start to finish. The house was so much more than we expected: comfortable, beautiful, and everything was impeccable. It was really a pleasure to stay there. Everything was perfectly maintained, and we didn't lack a thing. Without a doubt, this is a place we recommend 100%. We would be delighted to come back!

Nuestra experiencia fue excelente de principio a fin. La casa era muchísimo más de lo que esperábamos: cómoda, hermosa y con todo impecable. Realmente fue un placer hospedarnos allí. Todo estaba perfectamente cuidado y no nos faltó absolutamente nada. Sin dudas, es un hospedaje que recomendamos 100%. ¡Volveríamos encantados!

Thank you! What kind words!! It was a pleasure for us too

Wow!! This place was fantastic. We have stayed at a lot of Airbnbs and this one really stood out! It was super clean and wonderfully furnished. We really appreciated the included cleaning of house and pool during our stay there. The home is a quick walk to the beach, coffee shops, and restaurants. It is also a short walk to the local market that happens on Wed and Saturday, which has excellent smoothies and produce and we would recommend going to if you are there on those days! It is surprisingly quiet, despite being close to the main downtown strip. The hosts were super responsive and helpful during our stay. They were kind to include a high chair, baby gate, and pack and play in the place which was so helpful for our toddler. We absolutely loved the outdoor space for running around playing soccer, relaxing, and for nap times. We enjoyed the pool during the hot days there. We also loved being able to eat al fresco! We would love to come back and stay next time we are in Costa Rica!

Caitlin and her family were amazing guests. We always had very friendly communication with her; she gave us very helpful feedback to improve each experience. It was truly a pleasure to have you at the house, and I hope our paths cross again in the future. Thank you for everything, Caitlin and family.

This place is absolutely stunning! One of the best airbnbs I have ever stayed in. It’s very tastefully built and decorated. Everything was clean, comfortable and functional. The area felt very safe and a perfect location close to everything but still private. We will definitely be staying here again.

Our stay at Laura and Martin's place was wonderful. I was traveling with my husband and 2 children (ages 8 and 12) in late March. Location: Perfect. Walking distance to shops/restaurants/grocery. Still got a golf cart because of the heat - glad we did. Safe, quiet neighborhood just east of town. Interior: So grateful for AC in living spaces and bedrooms - very helpful for sleep and taking breaks from the heat. Super clean, beautiful, and bright home - cleaning person came twice during our stay. The home's architecture and style helped put me in vacay mode. Kitchen had all the dishes and cooking tools we needed as well as a water filtration system for safe drinking water. Exterior: Tall walls surround the property with a gate for exit/entry. Feels very private (in a wonderful way). The tropically landscaped yard, pool, and covered porch sitting areas were perfect. Pool was clean and refreshing - I think it was heated, but probably didn't need to be that time of year.

Lynnea and her family were extraordinary guests. Really nice to have you at home. Their feedback was very important for improving the experience. I hope our future guests are as friendly and respectful as they were. You'll always be welcome. Goodbye.

Laura’s home is beautiful! Our stay was easy, relaxing and fun. Laura was very responsive, flexible and wonderful to work with! A great experience from start to finish!

We had the most amazing stay at Laura’s beautiful home! The house is truly amazing. The interior is beautifully decorated, the outdoor pool area is awesome, and the location was perfect. We rented a golf cart for our stay, but the home is very a quick and easy walk to restaurants, shops, and the beach. We were traveling with two small children and Laura was super helpful in providing a crib, high chair, stroller, safety gate, baby toys, etc. She also had a housekeeper come to the house several times while we were there who was SO sweet and so helpful. We didn’t even realize the housekeeper was included with our stay, so it was a very pleasant surprise!  I would recommend this house to anyone looking for a great place to stay in Tamarindo. It’s the kind of place I would visit again and again in the future. Thank you Laura!!!

Laura and Martin are amazing hosts. If you get the opportunity to stay with them I would highly recommend. Communication  was amazing, we had some bumps along the way and they we're so amazing in helping us organize solutions and give so much support. The location of their home is absolutely perfect, no need for a car and the home is beautiful. Would stay here again and again in a heart beat.

Laura's place is beautiful and is like staying in your own little oasis. Lots of wildlife and beautiful outdoor space to hangout and relax by the pool. Would definitely stay here again and Laura was a great host.

Great fun place. Shows beautifully. Laura is a wonderful host.

"Your dream house in Tamarindo's heart" was truly a dream vacation. The home is beautiful with everything that you'll need. The location couldn't be more perfect, tucked away from the crowds but still within walking distance to the activities. The pool, basketball hoop and howler monkeys in the trees kept us entertained. The house was clean and well organized. We had a wonderful time and will definitely stay there again! The host was very accommodating to our requests and responsive to all of our questions. We left a few things and the hosts even dropped them off at a nearby restaurant for my friend to bring back. If you are looking for a comfortable home away from home... I highly recommend, "Your dream house in Tamarindo's heart!"

Amazing oasis with a great central location! I cannot say enough great things about this property. It was extremely clean and well decorated. We travelled with two small children. The host provided a pack n play, high chair and stroller. They also had a baby gate for the stairs, if needed. My son loved swimming in the pool and jumping on the trampoline. It’s completely secluded, but only a few minutes walk to many restaurants and the beach. We loved the two outdoor showers. The home has a great indoor/outdoor living areas. The Smart Tv was easy to use. Air conditioning worked well. Great for couples or families! Host was quick to respond to questions. We already miss this home!

We had a wonderful stay at Laura’house. The place is really beautiful and very well decorated  and in the heart of Tamarindo. Easy to walk to everything. The house is large enough for a family with 2/3 kids. The pool is perfect in the beautiful garden. We will definitely come back as we felt at “Home” .

We had the most incredible vacation to Costa Rica last week and it was largely, in part, due to this lovely home. The location was perfect; a short walking distance to a lovely Italian restaurant (La Baula… the BEST pizza and a fun playground for the kids), cocktails, entertainment, golf cart access, and the beach! We traveled with a 3 year old, a 6 year old, and 7 year old. The kids enjoyed our walks into town, seeing monkeys swinging from the trees just outside of the house! Laura and Martin were easily accessible through WhatsApp. Laura was able to book a housekeeper that came daily, in the mornings, and cooked us breakfast (for an additional fee). That was the best decision we could’ve ever made! No better feeling than waking up to the delicious smell of fresh Costa Rican coffee brewing and pancakes cooking. The housekeeper, Gladys, was an absolute joy and her breakfasts were outstanding! We loved her. The wifi worked well. The kids enjoyed the Netflix service on the tv in the living room and the board games and puzzles in the kids’ room. The pool was perfect for the kids as it wasn’t deep. The basketball net was a fun touch, as well! If you’re traveling with kids, this is the PERFECT home for a memorable time in Costa Rica! A couple of things to note… this is a 3 bedroom home and only the master bedroom has a big enough bed for more than 1 person. The other two rooms have very small twin-size beds. Also, we arrived in the evening and, since it gets dark pretty quickly, we had the most difficult time finding the house upon arrival to the town. The directions should probably note that, “after Dragonfly, stay left at the 1st fork in the road, and then stay right at the 2nd fork in the road.” We spent about 20-30 minutes with our driver going up and down a very bumpy road, looking for the home, until finally, one of the neighbors on a different street was able to help us out. We couldn’t get in touch with Laura and Martin during that time because they were traveling outside of the country and were in a different time zone. Outside of that, our stay in this home was PERFECT. Our photos look gorgeous with the beautiful landscaping around the pool area. Wonderful, wonderful memories! Thank you, Laura & Martin and, of course, Gladys!

The host canceled this reservation 170 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

This is the house to stay at....Location, Location, Location! There were 5 ladies and we had plenty of space. You can pretty much walk anywhere in Tamarindo. There are great restaurants just down the hill, market is close, and beach is 5 min away. Would definitely stay here again!

It was a pleasure for us to host you and your friends at home. Thanks a lot for taking care of the house and We would love to host you again in the future. Just a perfect experience. Always welcome !

Incredible experience. Loved their house and dog. Would stay here again.

Contemporary Sydney, Australia meets Bali. There isn't anything I would change about this property and one of the nicest I have ever stayed in. Open, spacious, well-planned and very relaxing with some wonderful touches - so much so that we had to force ourselves to venture out. Situated close enough to the town that each morning around 6.30, my husband would go for a run and I would wander down and meet him for a coffee on the beach and we would saunter back for breakfast. There were two restaurants nearby, Dragonfly serving fabulous food and the pizza house next door and plenty more eateries in the short distance to the centre of Tamarindo. The property came with a dog which I wasn't entirely sure about but what a lovely chap Lucas turned out to be and just added another dimension. We all looked forward to seeing him on our return and loved the monkey's and wildlife. The pool, the facilities, the decor - all of excellent quality and for all we were within minutes of the centre of Tamarindo there was the sense of being cocooned in your own little world. Loved it! What a fabulous place you have and what a wonderful time we had.

Laura's house is absolutely perfect. It was like our own little sanctuary in the middle of Tamarindo, very clean, calm and very well located (walking distance to everything in Tamarindo). Lucas was the most amazing and friendliest dog as well! Everything about our stay was perfect, I would highly recommend this house!

Laura and Martin’s home was truly a dream house in the heart of Tamarindo. This beautifully designed and decorated house truly captures the magical essence of Costa Rica. With a private pool, open spaces, and their dog Lucas to keep us company. The home is located perfectly down the road from a local super market and the main road of Tamarindo. It is all walking distance, but far enough from the hustle of the main area in a quite area of town.   We loved everything about our stay here and Laura and Martin were very easy to work with the entire time leading up to and during our stay. We can’t recommend this home more and look forward to another stay soon.

Laura and Martin's home in Tamarindo could not have been any better! Myself and three close friends were traveling to Costa Rica for the first time and were hoping to make the most of the experience, and wanted something close by town with plenty of amenities. Laura's home blew away our expectations! The home is a marvel in itself - beautifully designed and very unique so you get a resort like feel in a private home. The house is incredibly spacious, with plenty of room for myself and three friends. Some highlights would have to be the amazing pool and backyard, the ability to open the living area up to the outside, and of course Lucas! We were amazed at what a friendly and independent dog Lucas was and spent most of our down time playing fetch. The location was as good as it gets - just a quick 5-10 minute walk to all of the great local shops, restaurants, bars and the beach, but the block itself is residential and quiet! We certainly hope to return to Tamarindo soon after such a great experience!

This house is wonderful.  We stayed with our 3 teens.  Everyone had space yet we still had great family meals outside by the pool.  We loved the proximity to town, walkable, yet nice and quiet. We hope to be able to come back soon!

This house was a dream come true for our Family. Some Serious Pros: Safe Clean Private Great Communication with the Owners before and during our stay Easy walk to everything Some Extra Pros: Amazing pool - always the perfect temperature Workable, Central Kitchen AC was only needed at night, cool breezes & lots of shade Comfy, everything was comfortable to sit or lie on! Lucas (the house Dog) was a great and easy going companion (for dog lovers) House was beautifully decorated - we appreciated all the touches.. We feel so lucky to stay at this house, we just loved it. Thank you Laura and Martin, Pura Vida...

A beautiful, modern home in Tamarindo. Laura was there to greet us when we arrived and showed us all the ins and outs of the house. We thoroughly enjoyed the pool and were even able to watch the monkeys in the trees surrounding the house while relaxing in the afternoons! Being able to completely open up the first level was a huge plus and made for an easy stay. We loved having their dog Lucas with us as well. If you are coming during rainy season, consider a car that sits higher up off the ground as the roads to the house can get very muddy and rocky, but we had no trouble with our compact SUV. And, the location is perfect for privacy and a quiet night. We had a wonderful, relaxing time at Laura's home.

Absolutely fabulous house with an amazing pool and big garden which the kids loved especially. The house had everything we needed and was kept nice and clean. Our hosts were very easy to communicate with. Check-in/out was super easy. Walkable distance to restaurants, shops and beach but it was still peaceful in the evenings. I would highly recommend Tamarindo and Laura's place :)
