The place was beautiful and the location a little away from the city center, which allowed for quieter evenings. The host was very warm and quick to respond to our requests regarding the pool and BBQ. The only negative point is the neighborhood, with very noisy dogs that bark early in the morning.

L’endroit était magnifique et l’emplacement un peu reculé du centre ville, ce qui permettait des soirées plus tranquilles. L’hôte a été très chaleureux et rapide à répondre à nos demandes par rapport à la piscine et au BBQ. Le seul point négatif est le voisinage, des chiens très bruyants qui aboient tôt le matin.

An amazing place, with a fantastic house. Everything was impeccable, clean, and tidy. Communication was always prompt and to the point whenever we had any questions.

Un lugar increíble, con una casa fenomenal, todo estaba impecable, limpio ordenado, la comunicación siempre fue atendida de forma rápida y concisa ante cualquier duda.

Great hosts! We really appreciated how efficiently they handled the unexpected power outage caused by a bird getting caught in the electric fence—things like that happen, and they stayed on top of it right away. The house itself was exactly as described, with plenty of blankets and towels provided. They were also very helpful in arranging and guiding us through all of our excursions, which made the stay even smoother. The location is close to a local community, which is great for convenience and experiencing the area, but there isn’t much to see just outside the gate yet, and no real views at this time. It does seem like it will be beautiful once ongoing work is completed. Overall, a solid 4-star stay and very close to a 5. The only small things were wishing there was a bit more to see nearby and that the balconies had been cleaned prior to arrival.

Some hiccups along the way, but they responded quickly to help!

Excellent place, the house is perfect, but some maintenance issues need to be addressed.

Excelente lugar, la casa perfecta, es necesario atender temas de mantenimiento del inmueble

Had a great stay! Super responsive hosts, outdoor area was very nice. Fit our big group perfectly. Loved being so close to Playa Langosta

We had a lovely time. The location is ideal. The bedrooms are beautiful.

Nous avons passé un beau séjour. L’emplacement est idéal. Les chambres sont magnifiques.

Casa Esplanade was exactly as described. We had 3 couples and 3 young children including an infant. Plenty of room. Outdoor pool was used every day sometimes twice as well as daily beach trips. Mosquitoes a small issue outside but not inside. Security was excellent zero concerns on that. Hot water was a bit dicey and the kitchen was serviceable but small. Outdoor grill worked fine but showing its age. Price was high but what’s not these days. All in all our party was very satisfied and would rent again

We had an amazing stay here and couldn’t have asked for a better place to experience Costa Rica. The property was beautiful, clean, and well cared for, and it truly felt like a place to relax and unwind. The location was perfect, the atmosphere was peaceful, and everything we needed was easily accessible. The staff/hosts were welcoming, helpful, and genuinely made us feel at home. This stay exceeded our expectations and was a big part of what made our trip so special. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Costa Rica.

Beautiful place, close to the beach. Truly a jewel for its price. I would totally stay there again

Exactly what we wanted and thought we were getting! Our family of 10 (6 adults and 4 kids ages 10-12) all loved it. Beautiful, cozy and not too pretentious. The kids loved all sleeping in the same room. We were worried that their room was by the living room, but it was no problem! We spent every night outside, either at the swim-up bar or at the gazebo. There were a few mosquitos, but bug spray kept them away. The place hadn’t been rented out in 2 months because they repainted and redid the electrical. I appreciate the regular maintenance, but it meant a few things weren’t quite right when we checked in. They were incredibly attentive to our feedback and went above and beyond to remedy everything faster than we could have expected! Almost everything should be perfect when you arrive. Playa Langosta is awesome for the sunset (by the canal). 10 min walk to S. Tamarindo provided shade, some waves, lots of sand and fewer crowds than the heart of the beach 10 min walk further.

Beautiful, very functional house. All the necessary amenities included and a super responsive host.

Splendida casa molto funzionale. tutti i servizi necessari inclusi e host super reattivo.

Had a great stay in Costa Rica! Very responsive hosts. Place actually looked a bit nicer than the photos. There was some construction across the street, but wasn't super disruptive. Worth noting nonetheless. Very nice pool. A lot of space for 7 people. No dishwasher, but again not a huge deal. Other than dw, the kitchen was very well stocked for cooking at home. Including the grill, which worked great. House is close to Playa Langosta which is a very nice beach but if you're surfing it's on the more intermediate/advanced side relative to Tamarindo which is great for beginners (Tamarindo beach 20-30min walk or ~5 min drive).

Beautiful house, great location- very walkable to the beach. The team was amazing - very responsive and friendly. The price was incredible for the house and great service. I highly recommend!

Casa Esplendida was a perfect place for our friend getaway. We spent most of the day by the pool utilizing the outdoor kitchen. There was plenty of space for gathering in the shade or lounging in the sun and the backyard is stunning.The house is even better than the photos inside and out!  We utilized every room and everyone slept great and commented on the comfort of their beds… only to be woken by the monkeys passing through in the mornings.  We also loved walking to the beach nightly for sunset and having the grocery store less than a block away. Highly recommend.

We had a wonderful stay at this Costa Rica home! The location was perfect—just a short walk to beautiful beaches and a small grocery store, which made everything super convenient. Tamarindo was just a quick drive away. We rented a golf cart from the company next door. The house was clean and comfortable, with everything we needed. The real highlight was the pool—spacious, well-maintained, and perfect for cooling off after a beach day. We loved starting and ending our days poolside. Highly recommend this spot if you’re looking for a quiet, well-located getaway that still gives you easy access to everything Tamarindo has to offer!

Hi Elissa, we are very happy to know you enjoyed your stay and the area. It was great to host for you and your group. We appreciate you choosing our property for your vacations in Costa Rica.  Pura Vida!

We walked in, and I immediately froze and fainted like myotonic goat!  It’s so beautiful!  My legs locked up and I fell into the incredible pool!  It’s the exact vibe you’re looking for when visiting Costa Rica!  The monkeys would come visit in a near by tree on the daily, it felt like a National Geographic episode.  Walk to the local store (just down the street ) for cold beers and fresh fruit!  We felt completely safe and secure at this location!  The owners and staff were incredible.  If you’re going to book, this is the spot!  Don’t forget to hit White Lotus for yoga during the day, and some dancing at night!  Plus you can rent a golf cart next door for easy travel around town!

We enjoyed our stay at Casa Esplandida—the home is spacious and the shared areas were great. Unfortunately, the master bedroom had serious issues: bugs in the bed two nights in a row and a door that wouldn’t stay closed, making it hard to keep the room cool. Water pressure in all showers was poor, and we had to use the cold outdoor shower instead. The biggest issue was with the concierge. We booked a \$1,400 excursion that included two waterfall hikes and tubing. Despite confirming the schedule, the concierge forgot to book it, causing a 2-hour delay. As a result, we missed a major part of the experience. We spent 7+ hours in transit and only 1.5 hours exploring. The third waterfall also required an extra hour’s drive, which was never mentioned. We reached out for partial compensation and were ignored. The tour guide and private chefs were amazing, but the lack of communication and accountability from the concierge was very disappointing.

Hi Samantha I am sorry to hear until NOW that you where having problems with the shower pressure. We have maintenance staff on call that could have helped you with this asap. To make your showers more comfortable. Also with the door. It would have been easy fix. I have them now working ON this issues. As we where never told. Until I read this review I am being aware. Regarding the tour I was able to look into the confirmation booking email of our concierge. He indeed book the tour for you. Unfortunately the tour operator didn’t not book on his end causing the misunderstanding. It is also brought to my attention that your group cancelled ATV and yoga classes last minute causing trouble to the providers that already had confirmed.

Accommodated 12 of us nicely! Host was very kind and helpful during our stay.

It’s a gorgeous place! We saw tons of beautiful birds, monkeys in the trees, dragonflies! The pool was spectacular! We had a toddler with us and she loved it so much! Kitchen was well stocked and the house was spacious and comfortable. We did have a few maintenance issues but they were dealt with very promptly. All in all it was perfect for our family get-together!

The place looks a lot nicer in the pictures and was not very clean. The floors were visibly dirty and the kitchen had ants. The upstairs bathroom hot water did not work and many of the bathrooms were missing certain toiletries like hand soap, conditioner, etc. The outoor seating and pool area were nice, and the house is located very close to the beach.

Overall enjoyed our stay and the proximity to the ocean. The gardens and landscaping is beautiful. Really enjoyed having a pool as well. You’ll feel very safe with the gate and fence. The host was very responsive. Unfortunately there is construction at the end of the street which was not the best. And one of the mattresses on the bottom floors legit felt like an air mattress, it was awful and doesn’t make sense for the price you’re paying to stay here. Also unfortunately only one of the showers had any water pressure - not great after a day at the beach. If you are okay with these in mind then I would recommend this place.

This house was the perfect spot for our group and had everything we needed — plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms, beautiful pool and courtyard area and equipped kitchen. Everything was comfortable and clean and we felt right at home. Very walkable to beach and town, or easy to order an uber if needed. They were responsive with questions and very helpful arranging shuttles to and from the airport for individuals in the group, making logistics easy and seamless. Our only issue was confusion about the additional house on the property we thought was part of the listing, and multiple gates/entrances at check-in, but this was resolved quickly.

We loved staying here.  Perfect amount of space for the 9 of us.  Could comfortably fit 5 couples or 12 people who can share bedrooms.  Pool and outdoor space was fabulous.  Thank you for having us.  Pura Vida!

All I can say is this lives up to everything we hoped for! The house was incredible especially the outdoor space. Our kids and family were thrilled from start to finish! Beautiful, safe area close to the beach and a little over a mile from downtown Tamarindo Beach! Amazing place and we would definitely come back! Pura Vida!

Just far enough from the center of activities but just close enough to enjoy it to the fullest. A perfect location in Tamarindo

Juste assez loin du centre des activités mais juste assez proche pour en profiter pleinement. Un emplacement idéal à Tamarindo

We had a wonderful vacation and very much enjoyed this home.  The host, Justinne, was incredibly responsive and helpful both before and after our arrival.  We highly recommend this home.

Great property in a great location, would stay again!

'Splendid' house for a family summer vacation!  We are 3 generations, 8 adults and 4 children that just finished 2 weeks in Casa Esplendida --- and we loved it.  We've never been to the area before but were interested in surfing, fishing, beaching, and relaxing.  Giannina and her team ensured everything went totally smoothly.   We wound up liking being just a few minutes S of the bustle of Tamarindo in Playa Langoste.  Tamarindo was quickly accessible in our golf cart.  The house was great and perfect for our family.  Rooms nice, beds comfortable, bathrooms spacious, kitchen well stocked, BBQ handy,  internet effective --- but, what set it above was the outdoor pavilion and private pool.  Essentially, when we were not at the beach or on an excursion, we were in the pool.  Thanks to Joustinne for checking in frequently and to Olga for arranging our complex transfers to/from airport and our car/golf cart (highly recommended to have both for excursions).   Highly recommend!

This was our 3rd time back in Playa Langosta. We had a group of 11 of us to stay in Gianna's place. We arrived after sundown and unfortunately the check in instructions went to my spam folder so we had a little confusion getting in, but was resolved very quickly. The house was clean and beautiful. All the amenities we needed . One thing I noticed was missing from the description was you do have to access a bedroom through a bathroom that is shared upstairs with another bedroom. So that was a little different for those guests. The master bed was very comfortable, however the other guests did say their beds were not so much. The outdoor space was the best part. We did have trouble with the pool lights not working the first night, seems the timer was backwards since they were on during the day but they sent someone out to get it fixed. We spent most of our time hanging out swimming and it was wonderful. Got to see the Howler Monkeys as well! Overall, great stay! Thank you!!

The hospitality exceeded my expectations. The host went above and beyond, offering amenities typically found only in hotels or resorts. Upon arrival, we were warmly greeted by a representative who walked us through a few key features of the house, instantly making us feel at home. During our stay, we encountered an issue with the water pressure in the sink. I reached out to the host, who promptly sent someone to fix it, ensuring our stay remained comfortable and hassle-free. This quick and attentive response was much appreciated. Overall, the experience was outstanding, thanks to the host's dedication to providing a welcoming and well-maintained environment. I highly recommend this Airbnb to anyone looking for a stay with exceptional service and comfort.

Loved this place! So many fun places to gather. So gorgeous. we really enjoyed spotting animals, birds, butterflies etc. from the balcony. We saw more there than at some of our excursions! Bring binoculars, you're in for a treat! The pool, the swim up bar, the gazebo.. absolutely a haven to enjoy. The only thing missing was an outdoor sound system. We wished several times that we had brought a speaker for a little music while we swam. Lots of fun memories made. Thank you!

The stay was beautiful and exactly how pictured. The house was very clean and all the amenities were nice. The host was very welcoming and helped a ton when it came to recommendations!

Great stay house was in a great location loved the pool! Saw monkeys frog and cat very happy

Great spot! The host was awesome too. If you want to get slightly outside the hustle of Tamarindo, but will close enough to pop over (it’s a 5 min golf cart ride). This is your place.

We were a group of 9 - this space was great for a group this size.  Pool was enjoyed by three kids under 10.  Air Conditioning was stellar in a very hot season.  All else was as advertised.

Pura vida! This house was fantastic for the 12 of us. For 3 families, we maximized every inch of it and spent most of our time in the pool and luscious outdoor spaces. The bedrooms were a great size with good storage areas , the baths and kitchen are updated and we loved the rustic, bohemian decor throughout. We felt very safe and enjoyed the local market and restaurants nearby and in town and the short walk or golf cart drive to the beach. Giannina and her team were super responsive and friendly but everything was so guest-friendly and easy that we only needed to contact them for minor things. I’d definitely consider reserving again and will certainly recommend to others!

Excellent service from the host, but from the cleaning staff we were not comfortable, they were in the house at arrival time and arrived before check out time without touching or warning to do as pressure for departure

Excelente servicio por parte de la anfitriona, pero por parte del personal de limpieza no estuvimos cómodos, se encontraban en la casa a la hora de llegada y llegaron antes de la hora de salida sin tocar ni avisar a hacer como presión para la salida

Hola Bryan Lamentablemente el día de tu llegada el agua en tamarindo tenía 24 horas de no llegar al pueblo. Por lo que atraso el proceso de lavado y limpieza. Y el día de tu salida teníamos otro ingreso y no podíamos atrasar este proceso de limpieza. Son situaciones que se salen de nuestro control.

Amazing stay! We made incredible memories and would highly recommend to anyone visiting the area. The pool and outdoor space was absolutely incredible. Walkable to the beach and markets, restaurants. Couldn’t ask for more!

This house was such an amazing place to stay at! It was plenty big and the outside amenities were just everything we needed for our 2 families! We are so glad that we found this lovely gem. Couldn’t be more happier. We Definitely will be returning back.

It was a sad day leaving Casa Esplandida. Highlights for this property are the outdoor living space, 5 sizeable bedrooms, super chill/quiet location close to Tamarindo, walking distance to beach/market/restaurants, and the support staff. We stayed at the house for a few weeks and Joustinne, Olga, the maintenance staff were always on point/quick to resolve issues. The house/hosts are terrific and we enjoyed every minute of our time here. On a side note...if you haven't traveled to CR or through Central America, check some of your expectations at your departure airport. Power is dependable but does go out occasionally for a few hours, wifi is good enough but isn't 1GB, shop at the Saturday morning market in Tamarindo or you'll pay US prices + markup at the grocery/convenience stores. We rented a golf cart for our time in Langosta/Tamarindo and it was 100% better than renting a car.

The villa was beautiful, the outdoor courtyard and the pool exceeded our attacks. Joustinne welcomed us and answered any questions we had. Despite some inconveniences on arrival (cleaning and bbq) Joustinne quickly took care of the situation. This is a perfect relaxing home just far enough from the center of Tamarindo (20 min) and well located to see the sunsets in Playa Langosta. Perfect for groups! Pura Vida ☀️

La villa était magnifique, la cours extérieur et la piscine depassaient nos attentente. Joustinne nous a accueilli et a répondu à tout nos questions. Malgré certains désagréments à notre arrivée (ménage et bbq) Joustinne a pris rapidement la situation en main. C’est une maison de détente parfaite juste assez loins du centre de Tamarindo (20 min) et bien situé pour aller voir les couchers de soleil à Playa Langosta. Parfait pour les groupes! Pura Vida ☀️

Casa Esplendida is a beautiful property. Our family of 10 spent a wonderful Christmas here and thoroughly enjoyed the home. We do feel the house is in need of a deep clean and there area some maintenance issues needing attention. The outdoor grill has to be manually lit. Many of the interior doors drag on the floor and are difficult to open/close. There were only 4 wine glasses and 4 coffee mugs. The remote for the ceiling fan in the Master bedroom was missing. We asked multiple times for a portable fan to be delivered, but we never received one. The listing does not state there's a hot tub, but the photos of the pool with the separate/raised are looks like one, so we were a little disappointed. Lastly, although the property is in walking distance, there is no dedicated walking path to the beach, just a gravel road you share with vehicles. We feel many of these items would be acceptable in a less expensive property, but we paid a premium for this property and therefore expect the best.

Awesome place. Great location and the owners was very helpful. Awesome restaurant close to it with very friendly people.

Our stay at Casa Esplendida was great! We were a group of 7 adults and two babies (10 & 14 months). This was the perfect spot for our family vacation with our kids and grandbabies. The accomodations met our expectations. There was plenty of room for everyone to do their thing without being in each others way. The bedrooms and bathrooms were spacious and the beds were very comfortable.  We used the pool daily, especially with the babies as there was a raised area that the kids could touch bottom and play.  We loved the location, it was private but yet only a 5 minute walk to Langosta Beach, with a small supermarket on the way.  The walk to Tamarindo was approx. 10 min.  We enjoyed the walk and even with the babies it was completely manageable.  Having a concierge available to arrange airport transportation and excursions was a nice feature as well. They also provided play pens and high chairs for the little ones.  I highly recommend Casa Esplendida for a relaxing and beautiful vacation.

House was really pretty, everything was good, the pool clean, bedrooms bigger than expected, perfect location. We really enjoyed the stay.

Host was very responsive to any questions we had and helped us with anything we needed.

it's a beautiful place to stay,we loved the house,the garden and the swimming pool!I would stay again here if I visit tamarindo.amazing!!

We stayed here for a week with a large group, and everyone loved it! The backyard is huge, and there's lots of room to spread out. The pool looks bigger and better in person than in the photos, we were able to all play games inside it. The house does hold ten people, there are two bedrooms downstairs and 3 upstairs. Note that one of the upstairs bedrooms is connected to the house via the bathroom, so if the bathroom is occupied, you can get around via the back stairs. Beds are comfortable, and bathrooms are all well equipped. We did lose Wi-Fi for a bit due to a storm, but there is cell coverage around, but you should be able to enjoy the outdoors and relax anyway. We spent most of our time in the yard or the pool enjoying the sunshine. If you walk to town or the beach, note that the house is on a very short dirt road. It may be muddy/wet in the rainy season, so use caution, especially in the dark.

Our time at Casa Esplendida was wonderful - close and easy beach access away from the crowds of Tamarindo. Amazing critters near the property including a troop of howler monkeys right around the corner the morning we departed - babies too! Iguana, crab, beautiful birds and more. The pool and courtyard are so wonderful to spend time in. Private and quiet location.

The house is so pretty and spacious! We had so much fun and the host were incredible helpful and friendly with our asks

Amazing place are family love the place the place looks better the pictures thank you so much for having us

This house has everything you will need. Giannina was a great host and very responsive. Thanks!! we had an amazing time.

The house is fantastic, super comfortable, the grill is great, the pool was magnificent, we had an inconvenience with the alarm but it was quickly fixed, the beach is true that it is a few blocks away but without car access, to go by car access is about a kilometer away. The beach is very nice, we really enjoyed the house, a 10...

La casa fantástica, súper cómoda, la parrilla es estupenda, la piscina magnífica, tuvimos un inconveniente con la alarma pero rápidamente se nos solucionó, la playa es cierto que está a unas cuadras pero sin acceso en carro, para ir en carro el acceso está como a un kilómetro. La playa es muy bonita, la verdad disfrutamos mucho la casa, un 10...

Extremely incredible place, the house is somewhat mind-blowing, spacious, comfortable, totally recommended to have a good family atmosphere.

Lugar sumamente increíble, la casa es algo alucinante, espaciosa, cómoda, totalmente recomendaba para pasar un buen ambiente familiar.

Beautiful place! Private but close to activities, restaurants/bars, and beach. Our host was attentive and made this trip one to remember! Comfortable house with an incredible pool/yard area!

Great place for large groups! Beautiful and luxurious. Would only be more descriptive with checkin and checkout instructions.  Had to call to find keys.

this home is amazing,  5 full bedrooms for a nice group of people or a large family, I was here for a family trip and this home provided everything we needed, the pool will still the show for sure, it becomes part of the indoors but outdoors, the beach for those wanting to walk is only 4 blooks away, easy for anyone with a surfboard, I would love to stay here gain...

Great location!!!, very nice home. We encountered a couple of very minor issues that were resolved immediately by the host. Greay work guys!
