Hola Daniel, Thank you for taking the time to write a review. We are thrilled you enjoyed the house and your stay in Tamarindo. Hope to host you again soon. Pura Vida

Place was very comfortable. Very close to beach and shops. Pool was too chilly to enjoy as it is in the shade and there are no comfy chairs to sit in outside. But that didn’t deter from a wonderful stay.

Was a great location close to everything super helpful hosts totally recommend

OUR EXPERIENCE WAS IMPECCABLE! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A beautiful house, it was a very nice stay. The host is friendly and we really loved our experience. The place is perfect, it's close to everything on foot (didn't even need bikes!), while having a nice privacy. The house is clean and all amenities are appreciated! Refreshing pool, beach chairs, umbrellas, cooking accessories, beach towels, Roku TV, wifi that works well, everything is well thought out to have a great stay! Thank you for everything, we will definitely recommend this home to our loved ones. ☺️🌴🏠🏖🦜🐒🧡

NOTRE EXPÉRIENCE ÉTAIT IMPECCABLE! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Une belle maison, c'était un très beau séjour. L'hôte est avenante et nous avons vraiment adoré notre expérience. Le lieu est parfait, c'est proche de tout à pied (même pas eu besoin des vélos!), tout en ayant une belle intimité. La maison est propre et toutes les commodités sont appréciées! Piscine rafraîchissante, chaises de plage, parapluies, accessoires pour cuisiner, serviettes de plage, Roku TV, wifi qui fonctionne bien, tout est bien pensé pour avoir un séjour formidable! Merci pour tout, nous allons certainement recommander cette habitation à nos proches. ☺️🌴🏠🏖🦜🐒🧡

Casa Mariposa was gorgeous for our green season holiday to Tamarindo. The house was lovely, everything we needed was there and it was spotless. We adored being in the pool and taking advantage of the walkability, plus it was right down the road from the diving centre so easy to get there for early morning dives. Hosts were personable and easy to get a hold of for any questions. It was great to be able to enjoy some private time alongside seeing the sights!

Hola Penny, Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback on this great property. Happy you enjoyed your stay! Hope to host you again soon 😊

So glad I was able to make it back here again, beautiful home and always a good time in Tamarindo.

Hola Joseph, It was a pleasure hosting you and thank you for taking the time to write a review. We greatly appreciate all feedback! Pura Vida Susan

This place was magnificent. The location is perfectly situated just far enough away from the downtown bar areas to avoid the music, but close enough to easily walk to the town center and the beach. The other rentals around the area were quiet, and we had no problems with loud music or other annoyances from the area. The home itself was exceedingly clean and inviting, and we had plenty of room for just the two of us. I would feel comfortable here with four people total. The pool and outdoor area provided a private place for discussion, drinks, and dinner. We felt welcomed here by our excellent host, and I would hiughly recommend this place to anyone visiting Tamarindo.

I absolutely loved staying at Casa Mariposa! The place was very inviting and well kept. I never had a problem contacting the hosts as they were always responsive. 10/10!

Alejandra! Thank you for taking the time to leave a review And thank you for the kind words. We are thrilled that you enjoyed your stay 😊

We had a GRAND time! Great host, great property! Would stay again for sure!

Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. Happy to hear you had a great time and enjoyed this property . We hope to host you again soon. 😊

My family and I had a wonderful stay here!  We loved the location.  Just a few minutes walk to the main street and the south end of the beach.  The house had everything we needed, the Internet was great, and the beds allowed for a great nights sleep.  Thank you!

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We are happy you enjoyed the property. Happy New Year to you as well! Susan

Working with Susan was a true pleasure. The property had a unique blend of modern amenities and some elements that felt a bit dated. For instance, using a physical key to access the gates was a bit inconvenient, especially since you had to remember to keep it with you when closing the gate to avoid getting locked out. Additionally, the lockbox that held the keys wasn't very secure, as the keys tended to shift inside, making it difficult to open at times. On the positive side, the pool was the perfect size—small but incredibly refreshing. The provided bicycles, unfortunately, were not usable due to flat tires. However, the air conditioning worked wonderfully, and the bathrooms were spacious and a real pleasure to use.Susan was also incredibly helpful with some real estate questions I had and offered great recommendations for things to do in the area. If the property could upgrade to an electronic entry/exit system, I would definitely consider returning to this property in the future.

Thank you for your review Clif! We appreciate your feedback. Unfortunately I could not get one of the bikes fixed until this next week. Sorry for any inconvenience. The other bike is in good working order though. I will look at the lockbox as we haven’t had any issues with this yet. Thank you 😊

Susan was a fantastic and responsive host. If youre looking for a quiet place within a short walk of the downtown actions. This is exactly what youre looking for.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review! Hope the rest of your vacation was awesome !

The place was a wonderful oasis. The pool was so relaxing, and it was a quick and nice stroll from the house to the beach and all Tamarindo has to offer. I wish we could have stayed longer!

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review! We are thrilled you enjoyed this property and look forward to hosting you again soon! Pura Vida😊

Susan’s place was a great place for our family of 4. It was clean and quiet with a great little pool to relax in the evening. When we arrived, the pool seemed “dirty” but that was clearly due to the tree foliage and was cleaned early our first morning. We had an issue with ants due to our pizza box trash and Susan quickly came to remedy it. Restaurants and activities are definitely walkable but we recommend having a golf cart to use. There is a small grocery store right at the end of the street, perfect to just grab something if you need.

Thank you Sangita! It was a pleasure hosting you. We look forward to hosting you again soon.

Great house! Great location! The host, Susan, replied quickly to all of our questions and was very helpful and accommodating. Highly recommend!!

Thank you Tammy! It was a pleasure to just you and we look forward to hosting again soon.

Great location and would love to stay here again

SO NICE TO COME HOME TO! Tamarindo is busy/active with TONS of tourists. This place was outside of all of that, a private home, with *amazingly comfortable* linnens, large bathrooms, comfy beds. The pool needed some clearing of debre & Susan was speedy quick to help, sending pool servicers asap. We loved the high ceilings in the main room and were able to work from home w/ fast internet w/ no problem. We also were so happy to use the bikes provided and private pool. HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PLACE. It was our best stay (and we stayed in 3 other places). We slept so good and would love to come back again. Thank you for sharing such an amazing place!

Casa Mariposa was great. It was close to the beach and town. Had all the amenities required to have a good time when not out and about in town.

I really enjoyed the privacy and the quiet on the house, considering the noisy main street is only about a 5- 7 minute walk away. The house is also a direct route to the food trucks and ocean. With no light pollution you can see the stars, and you can hear the chirping geckos at night. The house cooled quickly with the AC units and ceiling fans. Water pressure was great for showering and flushing toilets.  I was pleasantly surprised at how comfortable the master bedroom mattress was, as some Costa Rican beds are like rocks! Because of how the house is situated and the shade of the mature trees, its easier to to sit outside during the day. Also the pool becomes shaded by about 1:30 and is great for cooling off. The only thing missing for me, was a clothing line to dry my laundry.  If I had any questions, Susan responded really quickly. As a solo traveler I felt very safe and would easily stay here again.

We had a great stay at Casa Mariposa! It's walking distance to the Tamarindo strip, but far enough to be away from all the noise. The pool was amazing during those hot days after the beach. The rooms were spacious , and the bathrooms were as well. The kitchen has everything you need if you decide to cook your meals at home. Susan was a very responsive host. Would stay here again in a heartbeat!

Great place up in Tamarindo, quiet and clean.  Book it and you won't be disappointed. Susan our host was great as well!

Great location near restaurants and the beach. It was the perfect place to stay for the second half of our honeymoon where we felt comfortable and safe during our stay! AC worked great and the pool was a great place to cool off. Susan was a very responsive host to any questions!

Our family had a wonderful time at Casa Mariposa! Susan, the host, was so helpful and responsive from the start.  The house is located close to town, but far enough away that you don't have all of the noise from the bars. There is plenty of privacy, and our kids really liked swimming in the pool. It was nice to have the option to cook our own meals in the kitchen, and the bikes and beach towels were great to have as well. We would definitely recommend this vacation rental!

We just stayed 10 days at Casa Moth and had a great time. The house was perfect for My wife and I and our 8 year old son. WiFi was very strong and reliable. We had about an hour when the whole neighborhood lost service but other than that, it was excellent. Kitchen- Very well equipped as far as pots and pans and other cooking items. All appliances worked well. The pool was small but very refreshing after coming home from a long day in the sun and saltwater at the beach. AC- I have rented many places where the AC does not keep the house cool but that was not the case here. All three units worked well and cooled the house quickly. Finally, we did have a few small issues but hey were resolved quickly due to Susan's quick response. I don't think i ever had a reply from her that was more than 10 minutes after my message to her. Overall it was a great value and great experience. We would definitely stay here again when we return to Tamarindo in the future.

Excellent stay with a beautiful, safe, house that is perfect for starting or finishing the day/night like having a full home away from home. Would come back.

Price-performance ratio rather poor than right. CHF 3100.- / week (Easter but still...). Now understand why no images from the outside are shown on AirBNB. Communication was very good with Hostess. Chairs, tables and floor sticky (no cleaning).

Preis Leistung Verhältnis eher schlecht als recht. CHF 3100.- / Woche (Ostern aber trotzdem...). Verstehe nun warum keine Bilder von aussen gezeigt werden auf AirBNB. Kommunikation war sehr gut mit Gastgeberinn. Stühle, Tische und Boden klebrig (keine Reinigung).

We made a spontaneous trip to Costa Rica and we feel so fortunate that the team (Susan, Lisa, Enrique) was able to host us for the week. PROS: strong A/C; easy walk into town; straightforward laundry on-site; dipping pool is fantastic; Susan was very communicative through the Air BnB app to address any snafus we encountered. We even saw a whole family of howler monkeys gather in the tree nearby one afternoon. CONS: be aware that much of Tamarindo is under construction. We were up early, so the noise did not bother us, but sometimes the nearby jackhammers got started by 7:30am.

This house was perfect! Super close to town, but just far enough to be quiet and private. The space itself was simple but spacious for 2 adults and a child and functional. The pool and outdoor space was a wonderful bonus and the hosts were very communicative! Also having a washer dryer was a game changer as it allowed us to pack lightly. Will definitely be returning!

Awesome little spot in a great location! I would definitely recommend anyone stay here during a trip to Tamarindo. Our host was a delight and a quick and efficient communicator when we needed info or assistance.

We enjoyed every minute of our stay at Casa Mariposa! The house has everything you need and the location is superb! You can walk to beach with ease and all the shops and restaurants. The pool and the outdoor kitchen were awesome. Susan answered every question we had and even helped us with some transportation one day. We highly recommend Casa Mariposa!

The Airbnb was just as pictured in the listing, and we had a wonderful time. Lisa was very communicative, and even showed up to the house when there was a momentary outage in the area. We had a great time! It was also close to all the cafes and beach, but away from the busyness which I appreciated. However if you have small children or want to sleep in, I’d check in with the host on the neighboring construction. We had bad luck and there was construction starting in the early mornings almost every day.  I’m sure this isn’t a constant issue, so I’d just check in with the host.

Lisa was very communicative not only before my arrival but after.  Her home is very nice and private.  I felt safe.  The location is perfect to the beach, shops and restaurants.  I would rent her place again.

We absolutely loved our stay at Lisa’s place. Clean, great location, walkable to restaurants and grocery store. Would definitely stay here again!

Amazing villa on a great location! We had a fantastic stay there. Value for money 10/10

Lovely house in a quiet corner of Tamarindo, but just a short walk from the beach and loads of cafes and bars. Really spacious inside, two large double bedrooms and bathrooms and a nice big social space with well equipped kitchen. The outside area is perfect too - the hammocks and pool were especially great. Hosts were very responsive and helpful. Would definitely recommend. Thanks!
