2BR Bungalow in Tamarindo

We absolutely loved our stay! The villa was beautiful and so were the surroundings. It was quiet and peaceful. Easy to get to lots of restaurants and the beach by golf cart. We thoroughly enjoyed the pool and it was never crowded. All of our questions were answered in a timely manner and very helpful. We would not hesitate to book here again!!

Excellent stay. The accommodation was very clean, tidy and exactly as shown in the photos. The location is very good and convenient for getting around. Michelle was very friendly and helpful throughout the stay, always willing to help. I really enjoyed my stay and would definitely recommend.

Michelle's place was absolutely amazing! We stayed here for almost 2-weeks and the place is right on the outskirts of the center of town so we walked to everything (restaurants, ocean, gym, coffee shops, groceries) but in the evenings we would escape to the beautiful back patio and enjoy the scenery and the sunsets privately. The unit is beautifully furnished and has the bed is the best we have ever slept on (at any airbnb or hotel). Everything was so comfortable and clean. Michelle is a very responsive host; she provided clear check-in instructions. and insights into things to do and places to see. Tamarindo is a very popular spot and can get very busy but this unit takes you just outside the hustle and also offers a private pool to cool off and a private balcony so we feel incredibly lucky to have been able to stay here. Thank you Michelle and team for a wonderful stay!

This Airbnb is so adorable. We had a girls trip with four women. This has two full baths and a half bath, which was so very convenient. The inside is so cute. The pool was always clean the people there that managed the place are extremely helpful. Michelle answered all of our questions. She gave us recommendations. The scenery inside of the gated community was beautiful and lush. This place is extremely worth the money. Michelle is extremely wonderful. The grounds people were extremely wonderful. I cannot give this place a higher rating. Everything was a 10+.

We loved our stay at Michelle’s Airbnb! It was very clean, I never saw a single bug inside, the pool was always quiet and peaceful and we enjoyed all the wildlife in the area. We appreciated that there was already bug spray, lots of pool towels and the closet was stocked with extra blankets. The AC units in each room worked well! Would definitely stay again!

Host Response

Thank you for your kind review!

Our family of 5 had a fantastic stay. It was very hard to leave! Michelle was a very attentive host and responded to messages very quickly. The villa was very clean and we enjoyed sitting out on the front porch listening to the birds and reading. Everything we needed was within walking distance. Also a big shout out to the folks who kept the grounds beautiful and provided suggestions and help as we needed during our stay. We will be back! Thank you again Michelle!

Love Michelle’s place in Tamarindo! It was a perfect size for our family of four and was so close to the beach, to numerous restaurants and cafes, stores, pretty much everything we needed. Michelle was an amazing host and even helped us when we had an unexpected situation pop up! We enjoyed getting to know others at the condo as well, especially the friendly security guard. Overall wonderful stay and fantastic neighborhood if you’re traveling to Tamarindo.

This is the place to stay in Tamarindo, no doubt. I'm one of those types that tries to research every possible option on Airbnb before booking lol - with a strong preference on location, especially when I'm staying for weeks rather than days like this visit. It came down to this place and one other place and I'm glad to say I definitely made the right decision. Literally next door to El Mercadito with tons of food and drink options, and one block more to the beach, a good part of the beach where we could set up and play with our 6 year old. Michelle responded super quickly every time we reached out, had lots of helpful local recommendations, and was just pleasant to work with. Thanks so much for a perfect stay!

So nice, I stayed here twice

We had a wonderful stay in Michelle's home and it was just as lovely as the pictures. We stayed in 5 different airbnbs while in Costa Rica and my husband and I both agreed that Michelle's home had the most comfortable bed by far. We rented a golf cart to do some exploring, but you are honestly close enough to walk to the restaurants and Beach if you wanted. Great location with a beautiful pool surrounded by so many trees and greenery that you feel like you're in the jungle. We had a great stay.

So glad you enjoyed your vacation! Safe travels home or to your next destination and we look forward to hosting you again at one of our properties.

Amazing home in a beautiful garden styled community with amazing amenities, pool, bbq etc. Our host reached out daily to see how things were going and was super responsive. It’s super close to the beach, amazing restaurants etc. this was by far the best trip I’ve ever been on and the Airbnb experience was a part of that. Thank you so much to our host and I would absolutely recommend this to anyone looking to come to Costa Rica…

Host Response

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! Your family was an absolute pleasure to host. We would love to welcome you back anytime. Pura Vida!

We arrived at Michelle’s Villa in Tamarindo late December and stayed about a month. WOW, it was absolutely perfect! The villa was spacious, beautifully designed, and well-maintained, with all the comforts of home. The air conditioning was a lifesaver, and the pool area was stunning—a tranquil spot with a waterfall and barbecues where we could grill our fresh catch. The location was unbeatable, within walking distance to all the fun and activities Tamarindo has to offer—shops, restaurants, and the beach were all so close. Jorge was incredibly responsive and ensured we had everything we needed throughout our stay. Sonia was amazing and made our stay effortless by arranging shuttles to and from wherever we wanted to visit. This was truly a dream vacation spot, and we can’t recommend it enough. Whether you’re staying for a short trip or a longer getaway like ours, this place is a gem!

Casa del Sol was the perfect place for our family of four to enjoy our Costa Rica vacation. The place was exactly as described, great amenities, ample space, and centrally located to shops, restaurants, and the beach. Aside from the days we did excursions to snorkeling, wetlands, or waterfall hikes we walked everywhere. Communication with Michelle was prompt and friendly. We also communicated with Sonya, to help set up activities and transportation, and she was beyond helpful. A+ for service, attention, and hospitality!!

This condo was perfect for an enjoyable and active vacation. It is beautiful, spacious, great deck, comfortable beds and truly 1 block from the beach and only blocks to great restaurant options. Michelle and the local property manager Sonja were very responsive and gave excellent recommendations for restaurants and activities. We would definitely love to stay again.

I would definitely stay at this property again - Very convenient and all tasteful.

It was our first time traveling to Costa Rica and Michelle‘s place was an absolute gem!!! Loved that you could walk into town but yet it was so quiet where she was located and the pool was a big bonus!!! She was unbelievably responsive and so extremely helpful!!!! We traveled with our two teenage daughters, and they loved it! Felt so comfortable and safe at all times !!! Sitting out on the balcony at her home, was our favorite way to relax and have our coffee and we fell in love with one of the local feral cats that we named Charlie ! I’m assuming it was a feral cat -so sweet and friendly!

Amazing place to stay at. Gorgeous & comfortable home at a great price. The outside area & the pool are beautiful. Convenient location, it’s at a walking distance from the downtown so you can easily find many things to do. The hosts were very friendly, responsive & accommodating. I’d 100% stay here again

Host Response

Thank you so much for your kind review! We loved hosting you and would welcome you back in the future anytime!

My family and I just returned from Tamarindo and a 5 night stay. The condo was in a great location. Off the main road, which is key in Tamarindo IMHO, but just steps away from everything. You could slip away from crowds, easily, but within 2 mins, be in it if you wanted to be. The beach was just steps away. The markets and all the restaurants were just an easy stroll away as well. The condo, itself, was clean, up to date and very well kept. Check in was easy. Sonia and Michelle were very responsive. There was one small issue with the shower head in the 2nd bathroom which I messaged Michelle about on the second morning we were there. By the time my family and I returned from our excursion, that same day, a brand new shower head had been installed. Great service!! I would definitely stay here if I am in Tamarindo again!

First vacation to Costa Rica and we had a great time! The house was beautiful, walking distance to everything and the on-site staff was so helpful. Sonia the on-site manager helped us book 3 of our excursions. Michelle was very helpful and responsive—gave us lots of tips and recommendations for the area. Highly recommend to anyone who wants to experience all Tamarindo has to offer. Very clean, safe, we loved the community pool which was quiet and a great place to come back to relax at the end of a fun filled day. Thank you Michelle we will definitely be back!

The condo was 10/10 and made our family trip to Tamarindo amazing! The condo was exactly as described, a 2 minute walk to the Main Street (all restaurants and shopping) and a few feet more to the beach! Michelle and Sonia were super responsive and really made us feel at home! Cannot recommend this place enough and we will definitely be back!

WOW! What an extremely beautiful, peaceful and friendly place to spend the month of January. Casa Del Sol was everything I thought it would be. Michelle, you are spot on with how you have described this piece of paradise. The location and security features were most important to me because of the fact that I spent several days alone. I can not say enough about the fantastic support staff that manage Pueblo Colonial. Jorge and Sonia were truly amazing. They were both helpful and responsive. Always helping me plan various excursions as well as making suggestions for places to eat and places to shop in Tamarindo. Mornings were especially nice. Sitting on the porch drinking that wonderful Costa Rican coffee looking at all the tropical plants and listening to birds was a real treat. Afternoons spent relaxing in the pool while socializing with family and friends was so much fun. This condo was a great place to vacation. Definitely would love to return there sometime in the near future.

Michelle’s place was undoubtedly the best home we could hope for in busy Tamarindo. Once inside the secure gate, we felt right at home, surrounded by lush gardens. The landscape is absolutely stunning. We loved having our coffee on the sunny terrace in the morning surrounded by friendly cats :) The house itself is beautiful, comfortable, clean and very well appointed. The pool area is amazingly beautiful, clean and quiet as well. We often had it all to ourselves. Everything is at walking distance. We particularly enjoyed having a great gym one block away. Grocery, pharmacy, restaurants and the beach are also very close by. All in all, our stay wouldn’t have been as memorable without Jorge and Sonia, who took great care of us on a daily basis. They are two of the nicest people we have ever met and we feel blessed for having met them. Our host Michelle was also very sweet and responsive. Nice people make all the difference! We would definitely stay here again. We highly recommend!

5 stars all the way! This airbnb photographs well, but it's even more beautiful in person. Michelle has gone above and beyond to ensure that her beautiful property is truly her guests home away from home. Amenities galore and truly a lovely and relaxing experience. There's no need to scroll further. Just book it!

If we ever go back to the area again, we would stay again. The host was excellent and helped with any questions of concerns. She gave recommendation of places to eat. The weather was super nice. There was a lot of people in the city that weekend. The beach close is nice but people are out trying to sell stuff. We did enjoy a massage on the beach and enjoyed the water. The villa was clean and well stocked with everything. Had a washer and dryer which was nice. The dryer wasn't working properly.

Casa Del Sol is a great place to stay in Tamarindo. It’s clean, comfortable, and well air-conditioned (if you need that). Both she and the local caretaker were easy to reach with questions and responded quickly. It was so nice that she had beach chairs and pool and beach towels. An extra convenience that went above and beyond. It’s a great location in Tamarindo, quiet and conveniently located. I highly recommend it for any trip to Tamarindo.

The house was easy to find immaculately kept and filled will all the amenities one could need while staying in a beach town. Everything is within walking distance, from the beach, to the grocery store, to the pharmacy. The super who lives in the gated community was very helpful in helping us navigate our stay and even gave us a wonderful recommendation for Buena Vista Lodge at Rincon de la Vieja volcano national park which ended up being the highlight of our trip. Michelle’s home was perfect with a private pool and beautiful balcony overlooking a gorgeous tropical garden that provided privacy from the surrounding villas. 10/10 we will definitely be back! Thank you Michelle 💕

Really enjoyed our stay here. It was my husband, my 15 year old and my 10 year old. The place was very clean and bright with the most friendly on-site staff. The pool was great too. Walking distance to shops and beach. There is a great outdoor space with two chairs and a little table and my husband and I loved waking before the kids were up and having morning coffee together there. The gated community was very tropical and beautiful. Quiet neighbors and overall so lovely. Michelle was always quick to respond to any questions we had. Really appreciate it! Highly recommend. =)

We had a wonderful stay at Michelle's home in Tamarindo! The house is beautiful and bright and airy, it's quiet and peaceful! The kitchen is well stocked with everything you need to do some cooking and if cooking isn't your thing, there are amazing restaurant choices all within walking distance! The pool in the community is perfect for an afternoon nap. We did a really great sunset cruise with Marlin Ray, yoga on the beach, surf lessons with Iguana and everything is walking distance! We highly recommend this property!

Beautiful villa! Safe and gated, clean, walking distance to the beach, really nicely decorated, friendly helpful staff on site, and they gave us a cute little gift bag. Great place to wind down our Costa Rica adventures! I would highly recommend! 😀
