An amazing property in a great location. Our group stayed for 2 weeks and the house and had everything we needed to make ourselves at home. It's a short walk or a fast golf cart ride away to everything Tamarindo has to offer. I would definitely come back!

Five Stars! This place was perfect for our group of 10. Clean, comfy and the backyard pool was an amazing place to hang out. I personally loved that the house was equipped with enough basics to get us through the week, so we didn’t have to run out immediately and buy a bunch of stuff that just ends up getting thrown out. The house manager Nathalie was our rockstar, helping us with recommendations and getting us a last minute ride to the airport when our confirmed driver Jonathon J failed to show up. We also rented golf carts and had a great time exploring Tamarindo. One thing to note, the room with the extra bed is the pool house. Not a deal breaker, it just meant that our teenagers got the extra private accommodations.

We loved our stay at Caiel and Maru's place! They went above and beyond to make our stay in Costa Rica awesome, offering suggestions for things to do and local golf cart rentals/grocers etc. They had a house manager - Nathalie that brought us extra water and showed us around the place when we arrived. They were also very responsive when I had an issue with the safe on the first night. They responded right away and helped me get it set up. Nathalie dropped us treats for our checkout/travel day! Way above and beyond! Although the entire house was very nice, the outdoor space was our favorite! They had EVERYTHING! The house was fully stocked in the kitchen - and there were pool and beach accessories to use as well. We grilled our fresh catch lunch one day as well! Our only (slight) negative was that it was just off a busy street and behind a grocer and got a little loud at certain times during the day - nothing too bad! We would definitely suggest staying here! Great hosts!!

The house was well laid out and very clean. The pool and garden was lovely, however the lounge chairs were hard and could do with cushions. There is ongoing construction across the street. While it was convenient to have a supermarket right next door there was noise from delivery trucks and power washing every day. It was approximately 45 minutes to walk to downtown Tamarindo and the beach along a busy road. We rented a golf cart which worked very well for getting about. There is a lovely local restaurant Rural a block away which we highly recommend. The BBQ at the house is very good for dining in.

Thank you so much for staying at our home and for taking the time to leave such a detailed review. We’re very happy to hear you found the house well laid out and very clean, and that you enjoyed the pool, garden, and BBQ for dining in. We appreciate your feedback about the lounge chairs. Many guests find that laying down a towel makes them comfortable, but we completely understand your point and we’ll look into adding a more comfortable option that’s also water-resistant, since we do receive heavy rains in this area. We also want to mention that our location and distance are clearly noted in the listing description (about 1 mile from the beach). Everyone walks at a different pace, but it’s typically around a 15–20 minute walk, and with a car or golf cart you can be at the beach or downtown in just a few minutes. That’s why we recommend renting one to make getting around even easier—so we’re glad the golf cart worked well for you. We also do our best to provide everything guests might need during their stay so you don’t have to pack extra items from home, including boogie boards, beach chairs, beach towels, and other beach essentials. Thank you again, and we’d love to host you again in the future!

The home was spotless and had so much amenities that me and my family enjoy. Like the surround sound speakers, grill and pool. The space was big enough for all 10 of us without feeling crowded. Loved that lots of things were included, like spices for cooking, detergent for laundry and lots of towels for the beach and pool. The backyard was were we spent most of our time when we weren’t exploring Tamarindo and it was perfect, pool, loud music on the speaker. It was simple and amazing house!

Caiel & Maru’s home is very nice with a lovely pool and outdoor space with speakers to enjoy music by the pool as well as all the amenities including comfortable beds, laundry and tools needed to cook meals at home if you wish. It is right next to a small grocery store which is convenient but also a bit noisy in the morning with unloading of trucks etc. It is an easy drive (we rented a golf cart) or Uber ride into town and the beach. We had an issue with the air conditioner in one room due to a power surge late one night and Caiel was very responsive and had the repair person in to fix it first thing the next morning. Nathalie who is the property manager that met us on the first day, was lovely and helped us with lots of information about the area as well. Thank-you for hosting us we really enjoyed ourselves!

Host Response

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed the home, the pool area, and all the amenities. It’s great to know the space was comfortable and well-equipped for your stay. We also appreciate your understanding regarding the power surge, and we’re glad we could get the air conditioner repaired quickly so everything was back to normal. Nathalie and our team were very happy to assist and share local recommendations. It was truly a pleasure hosting you. We’re thrilled you had a great time and would love to welcome you back on your next visit. Thank you again for staying with us!

We had an absolutely fantastic stay at caiel's place! The house was impeccably clean, beautifully decorated, and perfectly located for exploring the city. Caiel’s was incredibly responsive and accommodating, providing excellent local recommendations and going above and beyond to ensure our comfort
