You are not permitted to access the owner lock-up in the unit. Owner has a surfboard and kayak in the unit that is not to be removed or used by guests. Other things to note THINK GREEN! To encourage responsible usage of the air conditioners, discounted stays 4+ weeks will include a maximum of 700kwH (roughly US$150) of electricity in the price. Overages to be paid by guests. This is plenty for respectful usage of the air conditioners and dryer. Do not flush the toilet paper! Yes, you read correctly. Due to the lack of sewage systems in most parts of Costa Rica, almost everyone is on septic. You cannot put toilet paper in the toilets, it must go in the garbage. Guanacaste Province experiences droughts from December through April. It is not unusual for the water company to have rolling shut offs to help conserve and replenish the water tables. This property does have a dedicated backup holding tank for these times, but we ask that everyone protect the environment and do not overuse this precious resource. Turn off faucets when brushing your teeth or cleaning dishes, reuse your towels, do not use the washing machine unnecessarily or to wash a single item, and let us know right away if there is a leak or running toilet! It is not unusual for the power or internet to go out on occasion. Please be patient as it will come back on. Insects & Wildlife This is a tropical country, so you can expect to see a couple of ants here and there, even inside. If you notice many inside, please let us know and we will put out ant-traps. Ants outdoors do a ton for the environment, so please leave them to their busy work! Yes, there are bugs in Costa Rica. Seeing a bug indoors does not mean the place is dirty. They will enter if they have been disturbed by construction or spraying (which is done 3 or 4 times a year). If it is a cockroach, please know that they are not like North American cockroaches and seeing one does not mean an infestation. They are not social and don’t live in groups (called an intrusion). There is cockroach spray in the property or feel free to step on it. Please do not leave food or garbage outside. We do have racoons and skunks in Costa Rica that will tear apart the trash. All garbage must be bagged, tied, and put in the garbage house located near unit #17. Please close the door to keep out racoons.

## Important Notes

### Energy and Water Conservation

To promote responsible air conditioner use, discounted rates for stays longer than four weeks include up to 700 kWh of electricity (approximately US$150). Any usage beyond this will be charged to guests. This allowance supports reasonable use of air conditioning and the dryer.

Due to local septic systems, toilet paper must not be flushed. Instead, dispose of it in the trash.

Guanacaste Province experiences droughts from December to April, often resulting in rolling water shutoffs. The property has a backup water tank, but guests are asked to conserve water by:

- Turning off faucets when brushing teeth or washing dishes  
- Reusing towels  
- Avoiding unnecessary laundry loads  
- Reporting leaks or running toilets immediately  

Power and internet outages may occasionally occur; your patience is appreciated during these times.

### Insects and Wildlife

As a tropical location, occasional insects such as ants may be present indoors. If you notice a significant number, please inform us so we can address it. Outdoor ants play an important role in the environment, so it’s best to leave them undisturbed.

Bugs inside do not indicate poor cleanliness. Cockroaches here differ from those in North America; they are solitary and do not form infestations. Cockroach spray is available on the property if needed.

Please do not leave food or garbage outside, as raccoons and skunks may tear through trash. All garbage must be securely bagged, tied, and placed in the designated garbage house near unit #17. Ensure the door is closed to keep wildlife out.

Surf's Up! - 2 Bedroom 5 Minutes to the Beach! - Apartments for Rent in Tamarindo, Guanacaste Province, Costa Rica

Phenomenal place! It was very clean, safe, comfortable, and in a great location! Liane was great with communication and made sure our stay was perfect. Highly recommend!

Very nice condo, about a 10 Minute walk to the beach

Excellent, the location is perfect, close to the beach and downtown but at the same time a very quiet place

Excelente, la ubicación es perfecta, cerca de la playa y del centro pero a la vez un lugar muy tranquilo

Great location, wonderful host and great place to stay. Liane was amazing to deal with.  Would stay again for sure.

Thank you, Stacey.  It was lovely to meet you and your family.

Nice place and Liann was a great host! Lovely person!

Liane was a wonderful host and quick to respond to messages. In person meet up with a map of the neighbourhood was the best way to start our Tamarindo visit. Our family of 4 stayed at her unit and felt spoiled being able to spread out after weeks of traveling in hotels. Easy to walk to restaurants and grocery stores from her place. We were happy to return home after long beach days and barbeque dinner. Located at the south end of Tamarindo was perfect for us. The beach was a bit quieter at this end compared to the crowds we found when we walked up the beach. We used the pools daily. Thank you for the the local recommendations. We had a great surf lesson with your friend and also enjoyed a dinner out at Tamaonda with fire show.

I am really happy to hear that you and your family had a good time

Liane is an amazing host, excellent instructions and extra information. The unit is fully furnished, clean and has very important extras as beach accessories. The place is very close ( 10 minutes walking) to the beach and downtown area with lots of dining options as well as groceries, pharmacies, etc. The place has no private parking, but you can park outside the building on the street with no issues. It was a very nice experience and definitely will recommend this apartment and praise liane’s treatment !!!!

You and your family were great.  It was a pleasure to meet you all.

Clean, fresh, really close to beach and downtown! I recommend it to everyone!

Limpo, fresco, muito perto da praia e do centro! Recomendo a todos!

Leane was a excelente host, very friendly and carefully. The apartament is exactly what we needed , confortable and equipped. Place to recommend close to the beach and everything you need.

Excellent place. Clean, quiet, conveniently located. Liane is very friendly and strives to give top recommendations.

Excelente lugar. Limpio, tranquilo, bien ubicado. Liane es muy amable y se esfuerza por dar las mejores recomendaciones.

We booked the day before we arrived and Liane was super accommodating. The rental was stocked with everything that you need for a beach vacation, which was a huge bonus. We had a great stay. Thanks!

Thank you for staying with us!  We usually avoid last minute bookings, but you made it a breeze!

Liane was a wonderful host. There was an issue with the blinds one day, and she ensured it was fixed right away. I had a great stay! Tamarindo is beautiful.

Thank you for staying with us.  I'm happy that you're happy!

Liane and Jeff were amazing hosts. Booked us our tranfers from the airport to the condo. She was always available to answer questions and so friendly. Lots of attention to the small details which was so appreciated. The condo is comfortable and clean. Has a well stocked kitchen and barbecue on the balcony which was used often. Beds were very comfortable with lots of extra linen. Great to have beach chairs and umbrellas for the beach. Beach was a 5 minute walk and all restaurants and bars in close proximity. Fantastic host and great condo to rent. Highly recommend.

Thank you, Shelley.  I'm glad we were able to accommodate your change in plans.  Next time we will have dinner!

As a host, Liane was awesome! She was answering questions and looking into things before we even arrived. She lives in the complex and we saw her daily, always nice to talk to. The unit was exactly how it was pictured and described. A quick 5 minute walk to the beach. We had our nearly 2 yr old Son with us and tried to use a stroller to get around then switched to a carrier as the roads aren't super stroller friendly. We stayed for 2 weeks and after the 1st week a housekeeper came and washed linens and did a general tidy which was really nice. There is an AC unit in each bedroom and the main living area, they work very well and very fast which is nice when it's so hot outside. Liane arranged a private ride to and from the airport at our request which included a stop at a larger grocery store. We had a lovely time and enjoyed our stay, we hope to return.

Thank you, Jaym.  You guys were great and we loved chatting with you as well!  The neighbour granny misses your boy!

When I was late to catch my bus, Liane sprung into action and drove me on her ATV, blocking the bus as it tried to pull away.  If you have an issue, this host will take extraordinary measures to help.

Thank you, Michael.  We try to do what we can for guests!

Great location and great and very helpful host.  Clean place and very well equipped kitchen.  5 min walk to the beach.

Thank you for your nice review.  You and your family were lovely and I hope you come back again soon!

The host was absolutely amazing. Very communicative and helpful. Costa Rica is expensive and the standard is less than the rest of North America. The walk to the beach was at least 10 minutes down. a busy dusty road with no sidewalk. The condo complex was run down and offered no privacy, and inadequate pools. Overall, the quality of the unit would be rated as a 1.5 star based on North American standards.

I truly hope that anyone considering this property take the time to read this response as well as look at the other reviews that have been given for this unit which claim nothing less than 5 stars for well over a year. I asked that AirBnB take down this review for its untruths and inaccuracies, but unfortunately, your review does not directly contradict their review policy. I would like to take this opportunity to respond to your “concerns”, the first being your expectation that Costa Rica should be judged by North American standards. People do not come here to be in North America. This is a tropical second world country and Tamarindo is a busy tourist town, especially in the high season months. You stayed during one of the busiest weeks of the year – Christmas/New Year’s - and your expectations that the town would be quiet and secluded were unreasonable. You claimed that the beach is “at least a 10-minute walk down a dusty road with no sidewalk”. Again – beach town, dirt roads, dry season……There are dirt roads and it will be dusty when there is no rain for 3+ months. Second, the beach is 500 meters from the complex. Even google maps shows it as a 7-minute walk. You claim that the property offers “no privacy” and “inadequate pools”. I have never had anyone say that the two pools on the property were inadequate and I am sorry that you thought coming to a condominium complex during one of the busiest weeks of the year did not provide you the privacy that you wanted in the common areas. For your specifics, you gave cleanliness 3 stars and claimed, “excessive clutter”. I can only assume that you were referring to the closet which contains beach chairs, umbrellas, yoga mats, and extra towels for our guests to use. Either that or the kitchen, which is well stocked (in the cupboards) with dishes, pots and pans, utensils, drinkware, small appliances like a rice cooker, coffee press, kettle, magic bullet, blender, and even spices, oils, coffee, and sugar. Under accuracy you gave 2 stars claiming “inaccurate location”, “needs maintenance”, and “didn’t match photos”. I have already addressed the location and there is a map in the photos that shows exactly where the complex is located. As for the maintenance – there was a light out in the kitchen that you asked not be replaced until you left. Almost all of the photos in the listing are less than 5 months old when the master bathroom was renovated and the spare bedroom was changed from bunkbeds to a queen bed, freshly painted, and decorated. They could not be more accurate. When you arrived, on Christmas Eve, you asked if we had “something nicer” and when I asked what your concern was, you responded that you were hoping for “something newer”. Everything in this unit was new in December 2018/January 2019 and some items even more recent than that. I even suggested that you contact AirBnB and ask that they help you find a place more suited to your tastes and you chose not to do so. Max, I feel that the "difficulties" that you encountered, including not being prepared for how you would travel around this beautiful country, was due to a lack of research on your part. In future, you may be better suited to find yourself an all-inclusive resort if you plan to travel outside of North America.

Liane's place was really good, I hope to be back one day. She was a very helpful and welcoming host, and her place is great. Very well located within walking distance of the city center and the beaches, and its very well stocked with all the amenities. Definitely recommended!

Thank you, Pepe.  I'm glad that you guys enjoyed yourselves.  You are welcome back anytime!

Great location! Liane went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. Highly recommend!

Thank YOU again for being so understanding and working with us to move you away from that unplanned construction noise! Hope to see you again sometime.

Very clean place in an amazing location  the host communicates quickly and is super helpful!

It's a very clean place. The bedrooms are on the second floor and the kitchen is on the first floor. It's very well divided. The condo is located close to everything. The only unfavorable point is part of the street to get to the beach or to the ash town is rock and there is good rock. You have to pay attention or walk. Apart from that, we had a lovely stay. Liane offers very good service and she is very helpful. Thanks  for everything.

C'est un endroit très propre. Les chambres sont au deuxième étage et la cuisine est au premier étage. C'est très bien divisé. Le condo est situé à proximité de tout. Le seul point défavorable est une partie de la rue pour se rendre à la plage ou au cendre ville est en roche et il y a de bonne roche. Il faut faire attention ou l'on marche. Outre ce point, nous avons passé un très beau séjour. Liane offre un très bon service et elle est très serviable. Merci  pour tout.

Liane & Jeff were amazing hosts. Their knowledge & willingness to help was so great. The unit was clean, very well stocked and even better than expected. Clearly there was a lot of attention to the small details and that was really appreciated. Location is great and only a few minutes walk to the beach and any and all amenities you could want.

Thank you, Seth.  It was wonderful chatting with you.

Great location. Great hospitality. Great time.

Thank you, Alex.  Hope you come back again!

My family and I stayed at Liam's condo and it was a wonderful experience, excellent communication, cleanliness, the condo is beautiful and great location. Super recommended

Mi familia y yo nos hospedamos en el condominio de Liam y fue una experiencia maravillosa, excelente comunicación, limpieza, el condo es precioso y Excelente ubicación. Súper recomendado

Thank you, Vanessa.  You and your family are lovely and we hope to see you return!

There was no complaints about the place that was provided but I have nothing good to say about the hosts. If you choose to stay here though, located close to beach and shops  ( no car necessary ). Washer/Dryer worked well. Cable and internet worked good downstairs may not reach upstairs without wifi adapter.

Hi Shaila. Thank you for your feedback. I am glad that you enjoyed the property and I am sorry that you felt that we were not social enough with you. During these times especially, we try to give our guests as much space as possible. There are still social distancing rules in place. I did see your husband quite often and communicated with him via WhatsApp and stayed in touch with you prior to your arrival and was available for any concerns that you had almost immediately. I do hope you will reconsider your rating for communication for these reasons. I am unsure of why you felt the value was only worth 3 stars as we have not received a low value rating for this unit previously. Owners are always looking for feedback on how to improve their units, so your input would be welcome.

The place was really nice and well equipped! And 10 min walking from the beach. Our stay was awesome , Liane has been really nice.

Thank you, Rachele.  I am glad that you and your friends enjoyed your stay.

Everyone should know that Liane’s place is clean convenient have WiFi cable and I recommend anyone a great experience at Liane’s place.

Thank you, Armando.  I hope that you come and stay with us again when we are able to share conversations!

Liane has proven to be a great, thoughtful host. We were not able to enjoy our time in Tamarindo due to family circumstances and she was comprehensive and supportive. My family will always thank you for that.

It is was espectacular the location of the department and it is a good staying for the purpose (the bpm festival)

Thank you for staying with us, Philipp. I hope that you enjoyed New Year's in Costa Rica!

We had a great time on this place. It was very private and close to Tamarindo's area. It is great for families with children. The appliances were very new and in well condition and that made our stay easier and enjoyable! I certainly recommend this place!

The apartment is very comfortable, clean, fresh  and very well equipped.  Very close to the beach. The rooms have super comfortable beds. Liane is also an incredible host who was always attentive to our stay and was always very quick to respond. Highly recommended.

El apartamento es muy cómodo, limpio, fresco  y muy bien equipado.  Muy cerca a la playa. Las habitaciones cuentan con camas súper cómodas. Liane además es una increíble anfitriona que siempre estuvo atenta a nuestra estadía y siempre fue muy rápida a la hora de responder. Recomendadísimo.

Thank you, Rafa.  You and your family were just lovely as well! :)

Great place! Perfect for a long stay as it had all amenities and fully stocked kitchen. Easy/quick walk to the beach and main strip. Would recommend!

Thank you, Leah. It was unfortunate that you had to depart earlier than your family! Next time...

Great modern appartment. Excellent location. Everything worked as expected. Liane was lovely.

Liane is an excellent host.  The place has new utensils and furniture.  Very pleasant stay and the location is perfect: close to downtown and the beach and at the same time private and quiet.

Liane es una excelente anfitriona.  El lugar cuenta con utensilios y muebles nuevos.  Muy placentera la estancia y la ubicación es perfecta: cercana al centro y a la playa y al mismo tiempo privado y silencioso.

Gracias, Mark. Por favor, vuelve cuando puedas.
