We loved staying here. It was perfect for the four of us. Everything was great! There was a planned power outage while we were there but it was a blessing in disguise as it brought a bunch of monkeys to our backyard. The pool was an added benefit as it was great for cooling off. If we come to CR again we’d definitely pick this place.

Fantastic location that was easily walkable to the beach and town. The pool was delightful and never really very busy. Enjoyed the iguanas and monkeys in the surrounding pool area. Beds were comfortable though they could use some pillows that are flatter. Kitchen was well stocked. We donated our boogie boards to the place so that others can enjoy the fantastic waves at the beach. It would be really nice if they added beach chairs at the place to have for when you walk over. We enjoyed eating out on the decks. Overall, had a wonderful time while there.

The location is very good, the building is very safe, and everything is very close on foot. The beach is a 5-minute walk away. I would definitely stay at this place again!

We had a fantastic time at this Airbnb! Location is excellent - away from the hustle and bustle of Tamarindo but still close enough (recommend a golf cart to help with the transport), and easy access to the beach. The hosts and concierge were very communicative and helpful - thank you!! Seeing howler monkeys right outside the window was awesome. One downside is not having a clear address we can easily share with airport transport or other transport services. Overall though we highly enjoyed staying here.

I had a disappointing experience with this stay due to a lack of communication from the host. I requested an early check-out about 48 hours in advance, but never received any response not even to let me know whether it was approved or not. My message was simply ignored. There are multiple co-hosts listed for this property, yet none of them responded to my inquiries. I also never received any check-out instructions or general communication during my stay, which made the experience frustrating and unclear. Additionally, the overall maintenance of the building could use improvement. The pool was not very inviting and appeared to need some work. The street leading to the property is in poor condition, and the building itself would benefit from some upkeep. The apartment itself was okay, but the surrounding conditions impacted the overall experience. I hope the hosts can improve their responsiveness, communication, and property maintenance for future guests.

"A fantastic stay. The host perfectly met all our expectations, in accordance with his listing: impeccable rooms, very comfortable beds and exceptional service, with a great disposition and immediate response to requests and needs. The facilities are very well maintained and the location is unbeatable. Definitely a "Highly recommended!" place. Great layout of the facilities, clean, and first-class service. The condominium security allows you to feel at ease. As an extra highlight, the pool allows you to relax in a fantastic experience under the warmth of an authentic tropical environment. The laundry space was quite functional when it was needed. It certainly met all our family expectations for comfort, rest, and service. It's a safe bet for accommodation. "Excellent option that delivers 100% what it promises.

Perfect condo for our family of two parents and 4 young adult children. Had all of the amenities and space we needed. Gorgeous complex with awesome pool! Excellent location within all of the hustle and bustle of Tamarindo—could walk right out the gate to many, many restaurants and stores, and of course the beach across the street. Very secure and safe complex also. Thank you for sharing your space with us and being helpful and accommodating with our move from our first condo to this one. We hope to return!

Awesome location and a great place. It was easy to find, parking was great, check in was super simple, and the host responsive and proactive. The condo was really nice, updated, and clean. We were grateful for the many fans and AC in the unit and the book with local suggestions on where to go and what to do in Tamarindo. The neighbors were also very friendly and nice. Everything is just a few steps away - the beach, coffee shops, restaurants, groceries, activities, etc. We really enjoyed our stay.

The experience was great from start to finish. Communication with the manager was outstanding. He was always attentive, answering questions and responding very quickly. The place is very nice. Everything was clean, tidy and well maintained. Equipped kitchen. The location is ideal: everything is close by, the beach, supermarkets, and shops. It's also a quiet area where you can walk safely. The property is very comfortable; the pool, the kitchen and the three bedrooms make it perfect. I would definitely come back and I highly recommend it.

Our family (two adults, two teen boys) had a great time at Richard's place. The place might be the nicest AirBnB we've stayed in. Check-in and check-out were super easy. The beds were comfortable and the rooms were quiet (other than a few howler monkeys one but that was short-lived and also great). The place was very clean and the kitchen was very well-equipped. The AC worked great which was very welcome given how hot it was when we were there. The en suite bathrooms were great, especially the exterior showers. What a great touch. We were very happy to have the outdoor pool too. Having access to the Langosta Beach Club was also a huge bonus. Highly recommended!!

this was wonderful, a five minute walk to the beach, air-conditioned, and clean. The only complaint is the person who had to sleep under the air conditioner in the bunk room, found it hard to sleep. Other than that, the place is charming! cute trees behind a gate s felt safe! enjoy jumping in the pool. The property manager is responsive as well, to answer any questions we had. Check in and check out was easy, highly recommended!!!

Richard & Rigo’s place was absolutely stunning. It had all the amenities we needed and was so clean and cool. Our kids loved the pool and the garrabo and iguana that live in the trees. We loved how close the Airbnb was to the beach and restaurants and coffee. It was tranquil but also very accessible to everything we needed. The beds were comfy, the showers were great, and this mom really loved using the washer and dryer in site. 10/10 would recommend staying at Richard & Rigo’s place. They were so friendly and kind!

Our family had a wonderful stay at this apartment for a week over March break. It was in the perfect location because it was right downtown, you could walk everywhere easily and once you closed the doors it became calm and quiet. We loved that it had a safe underground parking spot for our rental car. There were extra towels and beach towels for us to use, which was very convenient. It had everything we needed in the kitchen and we made use of the laundry facilities as well. The courtyard and pool were lovely and the neighbour's were so kind and welcoming. (The neighbour with the two small dogs really made the stay extra special. ) We highly recommend spending your time in Tamarindo here, we loved it! Thank you 🥰

We enjoyed our stay. It’s a great location to walk to everything in Town. It’s in a quieter part of town which is nice. Grocery store literally across the street. The complex feels safe and quiet. The place is actually even nicer than in the pictures. The kitchen is fully stocked unlike most places that only have the basics. We would stay here again when we come back. The concierge service that is advertised is available but we did find it cheaper to go directly to companies to book activities as well as easier to organize to get all the information for the booking.

Amazing location, amazing amenities. We’ve come back to matapalo year after year.

Thank you to Richard and his team, specifically Rigo for a very seamless stay and great correspondence. The three bedroom unit was exactly as described and very spacious for two families of four. The accommodations at the condo, including the pool were terrific. We enjoyed the proximity to everything in the city and walked everywhere. It was an incredible place to spend New Year’s Eve, and we would highly recommend it to anyone. Thank you!!

We had a wonderful family vacation in Costa Rica. This apartment is well equipped and very comfortable 2bedrooms, 2baths. It was on the first floor, which as a woman I try to avoid, but it is gated! - so felt safe. Close to all the attractions, great restaurants, stores, city market and the beach. I found very helpful and gracious of the host to offer last day easy free check out. We left it decent , but didn’t have to worry about a fridge and trash bins We had some extra time to enjoy - thank you.

We had been to Tamarindo before but had never seen Villa Verde complex. We took a chance based on the photos and listing and we could not have been happier. The complex is secure and private. The grounds crew cleans the pool and pool area every morning. The A/C is strong on all 3 levels. You can walk to all things Tamarindo safely and don't have to worry about anything. There is a small grocery close by that has everything you need. There are 3 food courts nearby as well as all the great restaurants that are in Tamarindo. I would definitely look up Richard's place again and stay without hesitation. To Richard and Crew......THANK YOU! It was a great 2 weeks and the condo is exactly what we were looking for.

Pros: • The house itself is spacious with plenty of room to relax and hang out. • Great location, close to everything we needed. But I would recommend a golf cart to guests who want to get the town. • Access to the beach club was a big plus. Cons: • Several maintenance issues: blinds didn’t work, the master closet light wouldn’t turn off, vents leaked from condensation and there were no blankets provided. • The door locks for the downstairs sliding doors could open for anyone, did not feel super safe. • We constantly worried about the bathroom doors being locked in the bedrooms since it was exposed to the open. • The pool boy showed up unannounced, which felt intrusive. • The biggest issue was the water pressure and outages during our stay, which lasted overnight. Overall, the space and location were great, but the maintenance problems and lack of communication made the stay disappointing. With better upkeep and clearer communication, this could be a great place.

We loved it here! The walk to town was a bit further than expected/advertised so we ended up using electric scooters for the last few days which were so much fun. The space was lovely, private, and relaxing. The howler monkeys in the trees surrounding the property brought us a lot of joy. The beach club access was everything for us! We went during rainy season so the bedroom became quite humid in the evenings despite efforts to reduce the wetness on the floor and bed. Host was responsive and supportive throughout our stay!
