Open air living at Treehouse Hideaway, Tamarindo
The Space
Treehouse Hideaway offers a unique Airbnb experience in Tamarindo. The home features an open-air living room and a rooftop deck with a pergola, ideal for enjoying beautiful sunsets and seasonal ocean views. In the evenings, guests can relax to the tranquil sounds of the jungle. During the rainy season from June to October, the sound of rain falling through the trees is captivating, and you might even spot monkeys swinging nearby.
All bedrooms and the kitchen can be enclosed and have air conditioning for comfort.
Located less than 2 kilometers (a 5-minute drive) from the beach and Tamarindo’s lively restaurant and shopping district, this distinctive home promises memorable moments, including frequent sightings of monkeys swinging in the trees behind the pool.
The property is well-hidden, nestled about 5 meters below the level of the private driveway, which ends at the house on the edge of the jungle. To enter, you descend 15 steps and open the front gate, leading directly into the open-air living room and kitchen.
The fully equipped kitchen includes new stainless steel appliances and can be enclosed with sliding glass doors to provide air conditioning. The master bedroom with an ensuite bathroom is located on this main level, just off the living area.
To access the other two bedrooms on the lower walkout level by the pool, you descend a spiral staircase. Each bedroom is furnished with high-quality bedding, deluxe king-sized mattresses, and custom-built Costa Rican furniture.
A highlight of the home is the spacious west-facing rooftop living area with a pergola. From the parking area, a set of four stairs leads up to the roof. Following the roof around a corner reveals the pergola and, during certain times of the year, partial ocean views.
This property offers a perfect balance of peaceful seclusion just minutes away from Tamarindo’s vibrant atmosphere.

This was the best place I have ever stayed. Perfectly described. Great amenities, pristine kitchen, beautiful location. The most unique aspect was the outdoor layout. Every morning we awoke to monkeys right outside! Highly recommend to anyone who is looking to stay in Tamarindo. Host is also a great help!

We had an amazing stay at the Treehouse Hideaway. The open air concept was truly an experience. We had the privilege of seeing different wildlife daily, from frogs to howler monkeys. The pool was a great place to relax after a day out. Rooms were spacious, had comfortable beds, and ac units that worked very well. Kitchen had everything we needed to make a couple meals in. If you enjoy nature and privacy, while having easy access to downtown by car, this is definitely the place to stay.

Honestly this Airbnb was one of the highlights of our trip! Loved the open layout, and also the wonderful refreshing AC units in all the bedrooms haha. A mix of comfort/ modern amenities with the natural private vibe we were seeking in Costa Rica. Also, one of the most responsive and helpful hosts we’ve had the pleasure of booking with. Great location, great host, an unforgettable stay! Would highly recommend.

The house is uniquely designed, with master bedroom on the main floor and 2 bedrooms downstairs, providing a togetherness during family time and privacy when needed. The open air living room concept is brilliant. The fans circulate and keep the living room comfortable without AC. Tomas and David were always responsive when I had questions about local recommendations. Overall, it is a magnificent house in a great location.

What a beautiful place to stay in Tamarindo! The home is located at the end of a quiet road, only a few minutes from the town center. You feel like you are totally in the jungle. We heard the howler monkeys every morning/evening. Home is well equipped with everything you would need. The host is accommodating and very responsive! Would stay again. Thank you

What a gorgeous place! So peaceful and beautifully designed. You feel like you are in a super private get away but at the same time are only a few minutes to town and beaches. The hosts were great and super responsive whenever we had questions. Highly recommend staying here!

Wir hatten einen wirklich tollen Aufenthalt! Die Unterkunft ist schön, gut ausgestattet und bietet alles, was man braucht. Einige Dinge sind zwar etwas in die Jahre gekommen, aber das hat uns überhaupt nicht gestört – im Gegenteil, es hatte sogar einen gewissen Charme. Die Lage ist perfekt: nahe genug an Tamarindo, um schnell im Stadtleben zu sein, aber weit genug weg vom Trubel, um Ruhe zu genießen. Die Umgebung wirkt fast schon dschungelartig – ideal für alle, die Entspannung und Natur schätzen, aber trotzdem nicht auf Restaurants, Aktivitäten und Strände verzichten möchten. Ein Hinweis: Obwohl die Entfernung zur Innenstadt relativ kurz ist, würden wir den Weg zu Fuß nicht empfehlen, da man nur direkt auf der Straße laufen kann. Als Autofahrer haben wir selbst gemerkt, wie schlecht man Fußgänger in den Kurven sieht. Wir würden jederzeit wiederkommen!
