3BR Villa in Playa Langosta

Excellent, 1 week ago

Bert was a great host! The house was great, as was the neighborhood. Bert was extremely responsive and made the entire stay enjoyable and convenient. Thank you for everything Bert!

Really remarkably wonderful service. Not only gave great recommendations but they actually would call and book activities for us. Anything we needed was expertly and promptly handled.

Host Response

Thank you so much for this very kind review guys 🙏🙏🙏

We have stayed many times in the area. We enjoyed the location, however the home was not as we expected. The outdoor fan blades were missing, the pool deck was in disrepair with holes, the casita toilet had a smell and the linens and towels need a refresh as they’re very worn and old. The host did provide a temporary fix to the pool deck and sent over dish detergent in a reasonable amount of time. I would stay in the area again but not at this location. The security was nice, quick walk to the very rocky beach and the pool functioned well. The property does not allow you to use the laundry, but they do provide the service if that works for your family. Also, the primary shower is outside only, which was quite a surprise.

Host Response

This rental did not go as smooth as I wanted it to be. The family mentioned quite some issues around the house : a piece of wood broken here, a piece of plastic loose there, a toilet that did not flush well enough, an insect appearing inside of the house, etc etc Every day seemed to bring another tiny issue. This family just seemed very high maintenance and difficult to please. Even our restaurant recommendations in the area were a topic of disagreement 💁‍♂️ Rentals at our home the week before them and the week after them went flawless and everybody seemed very excited to be staying at the villa, so either it was pure bad luck or our home wasn’t a very good fit ! I would not rent again to this family ☹️👎 I do regret that they were not very excited about their stay but I know our team put in maximum effort ?

What an absolutely amazing experience at Villa Ethir in Tamarindo! I booked the villa for Katrina, Tobyn, and their kids, and from the start, the communication with Bert (the owner) was outstanding. He went above and beyond to make sure everything was smooth—from helping me book a rental car to providing fantastic local recommendations for restaurants and activities. When he realized there might be some nearby construction noise, he immediately arranged guest passes for a nearby resort as a thoughtful gesture. His attention to detail and genuine care made planning this trip so much easier. From Katrina and the family’s perspective, the stay itself was just as wonderful. The location is unbeatable—just steps from a picturesque beach—and the villa is exactly as pictured, if not better. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything they needed, and Josué, the on-site contact, was always available, kind, and incredibly helpful. Both Bert and Josué made the whole experience seamless.
