2BR Treehouse in Tamarindo

Edward

Excellent, 7 days ago

Really extraordinary

This property is a few minutes’ drive from Tamarindo. The architecture is beautiful, with many glass walls, nice furnishings, and comfy beds. You are surrounded on all sides by treetops, which is peaceful . They have grown since the listing pictures and there is no longer a valley view. The biggest thing to know is that the home is designed so that the entire middle area of the home is outside, including the bathrooms and single shower. You are in the jungle, so this means encountering flying beetles, mosquitos, spiders, and geckos, especially using the bathroom after dark. It gave the experience a luxury camping feel. This design also affects the feeling of security. You go in through a locked gate, up stairs, and you are in the middle of the house. There is no true ‘front door’. The kitchen and each bedroom have separate locks. It felt less secure than a traditional house. It wasn’t the right fit. After initially refusing, the owner processed a partial refund. I appreciated that

Already dreaming about the next time I can come back to this slice of heaven. We felt fully immersed in this treehouse. Not for you if you don’t enjoy living amongst lizards, monkeys, bugs, birds, etc. Easy to get into town for groceries. We didn’t rent a car and Ubers were easy to come by despite the rocky road. All the essentials were there. The design was tasteful. The pool was the perfect temperature. Keep in mind the trees are less lush this time of year so don’t expect as much green as the photos. Overall an ideal spot to unwind and enjoy the simple things. Gladys was an excellent host and gave great recs for masseuses, surf lessons, restaurants, and beaches. My only regret is not staying longer.
