amazing ocean views, and sunsets ( Penthouse #2) - Condominiums for Rent in Tamarindo, Guanacaste, Costa Rica

My family and I stayed here for a little over a week, and it exceeded every expectation we had. The second we walked into the penthouse, I knew we picked the right place. The views are incredible, and the outdoor setup is absolute perfection. Lucio was beyond kind and set a whole new standard for Airbnb hosts. He helped us buy fresh fish straight from a local contact and even gave us rides around since we didn't rent a car. He really went out of his way to make our stay special, and he is easily the most gracious host I've ever met.

I will be back!  Fabulous view, helpful considerate host, super clean and well maintained.

Wonderful location and gorgeous views! Lucio was so helpful with anything we needed throughout the trip.

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Lucio's place. The place was spotless, very clean, and exactly as shown in the photos. Everything is exactly as advertised, or even better in real life! The location is ideal, and the sea view is simply extraordinary. It was a real joy to be able to enjoy it every day. Communication with Lucio was exceptional from start to finish. He was attentive, available, and truly a great host. We would definitely recommend this place and would be happy to come back!

Nous avons passé un séjour absolument merveilleux chez Lucio. Le logement était impeccable, très propre et parfaitement conforme aux photos, tout est exactement comme annoncé, voire encore mieux en vrai ! L’emplacement est idéal, et la vue sur la mer est tout simplement extraordinaire. C’était un vrai bonheur de pouvoir en profiter chaque jour. La communication avec Lucio a été exceptionnelle du début à la fin. Il a été attentionné, disponible et vraiment formidable comme hôte. Nous recommandons cet endroit sans hésitation et y reviendrions avec grand plaisir !

Lucio was the best host I’ve ever had on Airbnb. Additionally the view is nothing short of spectacular. If this place is available for the dates you desire, look no more ! BOOK HERE!! The Airbnb was clean and well stocked with every kitchen utensil you could need. The air conditioning worked very well throughout the entire place. Lucio was extremely responsive and helpful.

Lucio was an exceptional host: always available to respond quickly to our questions and super attentive throughout the stay. The house is beautiful, even more beautiful than in the pictures, and perfectly located, very close to Tamarindo. We had an amazing 35 days here and are really happy with our experience. I would recommend this place to anyone without hesitation!

Lucio a été un hôte exceptionnel : toujours présent pour répondre rapidement à nos questions et super attentionné tout au long du séjour. La maison est magnifique, encore plus belle que sur les photos, et parfaitement située, tout près de Tamarindo. Nous avons passé 35 jours incroyables ici et nous sommes vraiment satisfaits de notre expérience. Je recommande cet endroit à tout le monde sans hésitation !

Lucio was an exceptional host! He was very helpful when we arrived and suggested several activities and restaurants to discover nearby. The condo was impeccable and the view was breathtaking! We would highly recommend it!

Lucio a été un hôte exceptionnel! Il a été très aidant lors de notre arrivée et il nous a suggéré plusieurs activités et restaurants à découvrir à proximité. Le condo était impeccable et la vue était à couper le souffle! Nous recommandons fortement!

I have to say that hands-down, this was the best vacation my family and I have experienced. Lucio and his staff were extremely responsive, attentive, and went above and beyond to make our stay particularly comfortable. We were warmly welcomed and our questions answered promptly with everything needed for our stay provided. I would HIGHLY recommend this beautiful accommodation and if I could give SIX stars would definitely do so! Blessings to you, Lucio and your amazing staff! Thanks again!

Lucio was an awesome host.  Very nice place to stay and was close to the beach.  Would like to return and stay again.

Beautiful view. Will see monkeys, humming birds and parakeets. Nice apartment. Easy walk to beach and restaurants. Surfing 🏄‍♂️ is great fun 🤩.

My partner and I spent a lovely, restful week at Lucio’s place.   I chose it mainly for the balcony and view as I wanted to have coffee and read while being able to take in the ocean and treetops.  We loved watching the hummingbirds and spotting monkeys and different birds.  The sunsets were also spectacular!  The unit was spacious and clean and had all the necessary kitchen items.  Lucio was a great host and took us for groceries when we arrived (as well as a little tour of the area).  We had transportation with Ronnie to and from airport, which was seamless.     Take note that there is a bit of a walk to the city and beach.  I’d say about 15 minutes?  We didn’t mind it but if it’s pouring rain you’ll need an Uber (2.000 colonnes) or if you’re super hot from the beach…it’s a quiet building  with some faded charm.  The actual apartment is modern and new.  You’ll likely have the whole pool to yourself too!

Fantastic Airbnb & super gracious host. Beautiful place, tons of extra amenities and well thought out provisions. Kitchen is excellent, vaulted ceilings make the unit feel very spacious. Balcony is just lovely, with great views of Tamarindo bay and sunsets in June and better than any photo could portray. Lucio goes above and beyond as a host. Highly recommend the unit and will be back.

Amazing spot to stay. Lucio made the week with my cousin special. Super easy check in great recs. Would stay at his properties again. Thank you!!

We had a wonderful stay here in Tamarindo! Lucio was an amazing and friendly host, greeting us at the apartment and taking time to show us around, provide helpful restaurant recommendations, offer beach supplies, etc. The apartment was clean and very accessible to the beach and downtown shopping / restaurants. We loved spending time on the large balcony with ocean views and watching the hummingbirds visit the feeder. Thanks for a great stay, Lucio!

Incredible place in an awesome location. The terrace and view were priceless which we got to enjoy daily for meals and conversations with our kids. It was so peaceful that it was hard to leave every day. We saw some beautiful wildlife daily from the terrace. Lucio is kind, always available and quick to respond which made our stay in Tamarindo much more memorable. Apartment is very comfortable, spacious bathrooms and kitchen and overall great condition. Highly recommend it!!!!

Absolutely amazing! Incredible host with an awesome home. I’d definitely recommend this place and I hope to be back. Thank you so much for sharing your home with us. Pure Vida Lucio.

Lucio was the best Airbnb host I have had to date. He was always responsive, extremely friendly, and made sure our group was set up to have a great trip. The view on the back patio is so incredible it makes you never want to leave the condo. This place is even better than it looks in photos, which is hard to believe. My friends and I all agreed we would stay with Lucio again and staying at his Airbnb made our trip.

Wonderful time in Tamarindo! My brother and I spent a month in one of the penthouse units and it was really an experience. The view was fantastic: during the day the ocean and forested surroundings were beautiful and at night the twinkling lights below and ocean sounds made a great background to the food that we grilled on the terrace. Lucio was a wonderful host and was always available and super responsive. He helped us get set up with our Simm cards and drove us around to get our first groceries and sundry items. He arranged for his friend Ronney to pick us up and drive us back to Liberia airport. This made both arrival and departure planning very easy. Can’t say enough about the great time we had. We also had a great time talking to Lucio’s family Flor and Lucy. Thanks for all the beautiful food that you cooked for us on those 2 beautiful nights. Highly recommended!

Beautiful place with amazing view, easy walk to the town and beach, great beach for surf lessons for kids and all beginners, close to many restaurants, easy walk/drive to coffee shop in morning, loved hearing birds and monkeys in the mornings from the balcony, and watching the storms and sunsets from the balcony. The pool was very nice after the walk back from the beach! Lucio is super kind, very warm and has great recommendations, the kind of guy who you know would do anything to help you! We were sad to leave! Would definitely stay here again.

Lucio is a cut above when it comes to Airbnb host.  Not only was he responsive to our inquiries before and during our stay, but he gave us a ride to get groceries upon arrival, recommended a top-notch surf instructor & great local restaurants, and arranged for our transportation to the airport at the close of our trip.  The condo is immaculate, comfortable, beautifully decorated and has the most spectacular view that you will never tire of.  My family had an amazing time and would stay here again in a heartbeat.

We had an amazing time staying here: the sunset views are spectacular, as well as the opportunities for some bird and money watching.  The location can be walkable, but we found it easier to either drive to town or park at the end of the road and walk from there. Lucio met us at check in/check out and was great with providing local recommendations.  Chairs for the beach and beach towels are also provided.  Would not hesitate to recommend to anyone staying in Tamarindo.

I’m not sure I can find the right words to describe the experience that my family and I had with this property. The property and Lucio exceeded all expectations, not by a little, but way over the top. It started with Lucio being the kindest, most courteous, responsive host I have experienced in all of my Airbnb stays. (And that’s saying something because the #1 attribute I look for in a property is the quality of the host). Lucio coordinated airport transfers for us, made sure we made it to the property, even drove us to dinner the first night and showed us around town pointing out the best restaurants and attractions. He even came back on day 2 to drive us to the Market for provisions. He was available when you needed him and left you alone when you wanted to just enjoy your surroundings. The property was breathtaking. I can’t imagine a better location or a more well designed concept. The view over the pacific was stunning. The kitchen was well stocked. It was amazing.

Lucio was a great host. Help us with recommendations and any question we had. The place is very comfortable and has everything you need. Would definitely recommend.

Loved the home and view. Lucio was amazing!

We loved having Lucio as a host! He was very accommodating and kind. If you come in late, make sure you have snacks with you. We came in at 10pm and nothing nearby was open; we were starving. Helpful hint: We bought insulated cups while we were there because the heat and humidity melts ice quickly. Food around town is spendy. The location was beautiful, driver was kind and helpful. Definitely get the golf cart!!! Overall 10/10!!!

We're frequent Airbnb users and have been fortunate to have great hosts, but Lucio set an entirely new standard. Besides the usual accolades (responsive, the unit matching the description, etc.), he offered services that I would never ask for (or expect). Such as driving us to the AutoMercado on our first night after a long day of travel, and offering a connection to a local merchant for fresh seafood. His restaurant, hiking, etc. recommendations were spot-on, and of course the unit was wonderful - super-comfy beds, a well-equipped kitchen, and the patio! Beautiful views and perfect for morning coffee or evening sunset drinks - if we were not out exploring Costa Rica, you'd probably find us there. I cannot recommend Lucio highly enough and if our Costa Rica travels take us back to Tamarindo, we would return to his place in a heartbeat.

Lucio’s condo was just as depicted.  It was perfectly appointed and spotless.  The view from the patio was incredible.  The condo was walkable to everything we needed.  One of the main reasons we selected this property was the rave reviews about the host, Lucio.  He met us with a bright smile and great recommendations.  Like other reviewers mentioned, he took us to the grocery store to get our favorite food and drink so we would feel right at home.  Lucio and his condo are gems!  You will not be disappointed!

If waking to a breathtaking view and ending your day watching a sunset that makes your heart skip a beat is your vibe, look no further. Lucio’s place boasts a fabulous chefs kitchen as well. Everything was neat, clean and beautiful. The entire place is lovely. The icing on the cake was Lucio and Flora being kind, wonderful hosts. I would suggest renting transportation of some sort. (We were satisfied with a golf cart) This Airbnb was a great beginning to many more visits to Costa Rica.

Lucio went above and beyond. We went down to Tamarindo to scout for real estate opportunities. In addition to being extremely responsive on any of our airbnb or tourist needs, Lucio also guided us on where to look at real estate up the coast. The location is excellent to access the beaches and restaurants in Tamarindo. Place was super clean. We will be back.

We rented this spot based on previous recommendations / reviews and everything matched up. Lucio is a great host and was extremely responsive to any question we had leading up to our trip and during.  The property is about a 5-7min walk to the beach and the view from the balcony is fantastic.  The space has everything you would need for your stay.  Highly recommend!

When you talk about hosts, Lucio sets the bar extremely high. He communicates extremely well and is very attentive to all your needs and questions. Lucio goes above and beyond to make you feel at home and comfortable. He responds within minutes when reached out to. I have rented vacation stays for quite sometime, but I never realized what GOOD (Great) looked liked in a host until our experience with Lucio. The last thing anyone needs on a vacation stay is a host that is unresponsive. I've had a couple, and it can ruin your stay. You will not experience anything but joy with Lucio.  I am not one to usually give high praise, as one can always be better, but in Lucio's case, he deserves all the accolades!

We recently spent a happy month at Lucio's wonderful spot overlooking Playa Tamarindo. He was a 5-star host, in every way. From helping us to get groceries and fresh fish to enhancing our stay with solid suggestions, Lucio has a  deep knowledge of the area. He was quick to respond to any and all questions we had. The condo was immaculate, spacious, in excellent condition. and comfortable. The location is walkable to the beach, bars, restaurants, the gym, or morning yoga.  Couldn't recommend staying here enough. Pure vida!

Lucio was very helpful and very kind/friendly. Always offering help with everything. He made sure we were always comfortable. The only downfall was that the walk was a little bit tiring after a long day, just because there was no shortcut to the main road. However, the location was still amazing.

Lucio's place was fantastic. The bedrooms and the main area all have their own separately-controlled mini-split air conditioners, great if you have folks who like to sleep at different temperatures. The porch is to die for...it's even bigger than it appears in the pics and a great spot to chill out. Great breezes and shade with a beautiful elevated view. We're not big on cooking on vacation, but the kitchen is well stocked if need be. Lucio himself couldn't have been any nicer or more helpful. He met us at checkin and walked us through the place...then took me and the family in his own car over to a nice grocery store so we could stock up. He's helpful with recommendations for restaurants and activities and even brought a couple of boogie boards by for the kids to use after one of them asked if there was a place we could rent some. 10/10

Lucio was a wonderful host. He was incredibly responsive before and during our stay. He took us to the grocery store upon arrival and drove us around town which was very helpful. The condo had incredible views including a clear view of howler monkeys in the trees, many birds and beautiful sunsets. The walk to town downhill wasn’t bad but we found it to be a little much on the way back after a long day in the heat. If you are used to humidity you should be just fine. But we usually took Uber which was quick and only $5 from town. We also rented a SSV for 24 hrs which was a great way to get around. Thanks to Lucio’s kindness, patience and assistance we had a very relaxing trip! Pura Vida😁

I really enjoyed my stay - everything you need inside and very peaceful balcony with that great view.  Lucio was one of the best hosts and just a down to earth nice guy.  I would recommend!

Lucio is a wonderful host. Met us on arrival. Place was clean. Beds were comfortable. Air conditioning was perfect. Views from balcony were outstanding. Complex pool was nice to use.  Lucio was always ready to provide recommendations and help us in any way possible. We would stay there again!!

There are only a few places in Tamarindo with this incredible view.  Lucio was an amazing host that provided excellent recommendations from the moment I booked and even spent a couple of hours showing me around the neighborhoods.   He made everything easy.  One of the best AirBnB experiences I’ve had.  No problem recommending the location. Be aware that there are 3 flights of stairs to walk up.

Our trip was perfect! Our second visit to Tamarindo, third in Costa Rica. Lucio has, in large part, allowed our week to go super well. He went beyond just a host, he helped us with our commissions and transportation. What you see in the photos is what you'll get. A penthouse with a breathtaking view. Given the elevated view, the condo is 10-15 min from the beach. For those who are less mobile, it would be better with a car or golf cart! In short, we will definitely recommend this penthouse and are already looking forward to returning. Once again, thank you for everything Lucio!

Notre voyage était parfait! Notre deuxième visite à Tamarindo, troisième au Costa Rica. Lucio a, en grande partie, permit que notre semaine se passe super bien. Il est allé au-delà d’un simple hôte, il nous a aider avec nos commissions et transports. Ce que vous voyez sur les photos est ce que vous aurez. Un penthouse avec une vue à couper le souffle. Compte tenu de la vue en hauteur, le condo est à 10-15 min de la plage. Pour ceux et celles qui sont moins mobile, ça serait mieux avec une voiture ou cart de golf! Bref, nous recommanderons sans fin ce penthouse et avons déjà hâte d’y retourner. Merci encore pour tout Lucio!

Lucio was a fabulous host and always available.  The views were incredible and the house was super clean and nice.  Great time.

Absolutely phenomenal place, one of the best views I've seen. Lucio is a great host, very responsive, and always ready to help. He also gave us some amazing recommendations for food and things to do. It was such a pleasure to stay here, I really hope we can come back soon!

Lucio’s place was amazing! The picture does not do it justice. The views are amazing. The home was immaculately clean. The hummingbirds on the balcony were amazing every morning. We felt at home. Lucio gave us amazing recommendations for fresh meat and fish and activities to do around Tamarindo. He also connected us with economy rentals with Daniel which made renting a car so simple. This was an amazing family birthday trip and we are greatly appreciative to Lucio and his beautiful home and hospitality.

Lucio is hands down the best host we have ever had. We have used numerous AirB&B and VRBO places and Lucio was above and beyond helpful. We did not get our golf cart rental until the third day of our stay, so Lucio gave us a ride to the local grocery store. He helped carry luggage when we arrived and left. The views from the balcony are breathtaking. We truly enjoyed drinking coffee, watching the hummingbirds, parakeets, howler monkeys and even watched parrots eat mangos from the tree. It was a very relaxing week for our family. Pura Vida! ❤️

Lucio was such a great host and his place was amazing! He is so friendly and helpful. The condo was so stunning with the high wooden ceiling and gorgeous view! We had such a wonderful experience!

What a beautiful place this is to stay in Costa rica. You walk in to a elegant BnB; stylish and comfortable. everything is where it needs to be - perfect! THE BALCONY - most of the balconies I see in town are puny compared to this one; paired with a huge table made to sit at least 6 comfortably, a gas grill, all things you want for the beach and the absolute best view of TAMA. *Bonus, there a humming bird feeder.* KITCHEN - equipped with everything you need to cook with if you are into that, nice island with a wine fridge. there's also a refrigerator full sized. THE ROOMS - all rooms are comfortable and have lots of storage. One of the rooms has a washer dryer which came in clutch! Bathrooms are the perfect size, and the living room is big. the whole place is rigged with colorful art and plants and is perfect for those IG shots(we live in that aged🤷🏽‍♂️) btw ... huge pool!!!! Walking down to the town is about a good ten min FYI bit rocky but so is everywhere in CR🤣

Lucio’s place was amazing - pics don’t do it justice! Views are amazing from the beautiful patio! Apartment was super spacious and comfortable and hands down best Airbnb host we have yet! Book your stay - you won’t regret it!

Lucio is simply the best! Extremely responsive, friendly, knowledgeable of the local area and very accommodating. My family and I stayed in his Penthouse at La Colina for a month and we had the most wonderful time. The rental was in a beautiful location with full views of the ocean, beach, and surrounding trees with lots of wildlife! We had hummingbirds every day and howler monkeys in the trees nearby. Lucio offered to take us around town, to the local markets when needed, and he and his girlfriend even offered to watch our daughter one night so my husband and I could have a date night (she had a wonderful time as did we!). The apartment is on the 4th floor (no elevator access) so be prepared for a bit of a hike when returning to the apartment. The pool was large and clean. The apartment was fully stocked. Everything was just as the pictures show. I could write a novel on how amazing of a host Lucio is. PURA VIDA. We’ll be back!

This was our first time in Costa Rica. Girls trip. Lucio made pick up arrangements for us from Liberia....Ronny was fabulous (even stopping at the grocery store) and we used his service for other transportation during the week.  Arriving at Lucio's place is like arriving at a friend's place for a visit, with a hug and a big smile! It was clear from the start that he just wanted us to have a great time and offered any advice and/or assistance right off the bat. And wow what a fabulous time we had!! View is perfection from that amazing balcony and we spent so much time there. For for us the monkeys and other wildlife we saw regularly from the balcony (great especially if you are an early riser) were the highlight of our days. I cannot think of a better place or host in Tamarindo and would highly recommend. Thank you LUCIO! ❤️  We hope to see you again.

Lucio’s Airbnb is honestly the best experience I have had yet with Airbnb!! The penthouse itself is beautiful- the photos don’t do it justice. And the balcony is INCREDIBLE!! The sunset views are amazing. Also as a bonus- he has TWO penthouses here, so we rented out both and had all our friends conveniently in one place!! Lucio as a host also goes above and beyond- he helped coordinate airport pickup/drop off, and took us food shopping (grocery store, fruit market, AND butcher!) Lucio is extremely polite and kind, cannot recommend enough.

We loved our stay at Lucio’s penthouse. The views are beautiful and the place is even better than what you see in the photos and very clean. Lucio was a great host, very friendly and personable and gave us great recommendations on restaurants, and things to do in the area. He went above and beyond for us and we felt right at home during our stay. HIGHLY recommended!!

Lucio was a wonderful host. The view from the balcony was amazing. Thank you for sharing your beautiful place with us, Lucio. You made our first trip to Costa Rica an amazing one!

Lucio truly is a SUPER host! From the moment we booked our stay in his penthouse, he was incredibly helpful from before our trip to the very end. He made all kinds of recs (tours, restaurants, etc) that we booked in advance of our trip and resulted in excellent experiences. Upon arrival he met us to let us in, show us around. The unit has everything we would need & more. The view is nothing short of breathtaking. The sunsets are magnificent. Lucio stops by each morning (to the balcony only: it is not at all intrusive) to water the plants, mop the balcony floor, and fill the hummingbird feeders (those little guys are hungry and they got fussy one morning without their breakfast & fun to watch!). It’s a welcome visit because we can chat with him about our experience and he continues to make recs. He also has a fresh fish guy if you want to cook and knows a great butcher. Our entire experience with Lucio & his penthouse was top-notch and we’d highly recommend to anyone. Thanks, Lucio!

We could not be happier to have found this beautiful place to stay while in Tamarindo. Pictures don’t do it justice. The unit is comfortable, modern, beautifully decorated and the view is breathtaking. We guarantee the enormous varanda will elevate your morning coffee experience as you watch daybreak and hummingbirds, or your evenings with the amazing sunsets!! We were only there for 7 nights, but it has everything you’d ever need for an extended stay. Lucio is an incredible host and a wealth of wonderful recommendations for where to go, things to do and places to eat. The location is great, easy walk to anywhere in town or the beach. We would/will definitely stay here again and highly recommend to anyone looking for a home away from home spot to be when in Tamarindo. Obrigada Lucio! Até a próxima vez 😊

Lucio is an excellent and accommodating host! The unit is as pictured and the view is stunning. It was well stocked with kitchen supplies and Lucio was a great source for where to shop for food and had a connection for fresh seafood, which was delicious. We would stay again!

La Colina was fantastic place with stunning views from the suite and very well equipped. Lucio was so nice and generous, one of the best hosts we’ve ever had!  We highly recommend this AirBNB, and would be happy to return again!

We just returned from a five-week stay and couldn't be happier with the decision to book Lucio's penthouse. Lucio certainly lived up to his reputation!  He was more than accommodating and helpful with any questions  or needs that we had. His condo was very roomy, comfortable and had a view that could not be beat, and the location was perfect. We would love to return again in the future. Thank you, Lucio, for a wonderful stay!

Our week at Lucio’s airbnb was extraordinary. Lucio took care of literally every detail for us. He is a dream-come-true host. From stocking our fridge with food essentials so we didn’t have to shop immediately upon landing to helping us find a personal cook to prepare our dinners, it all was seamless. Lucio communicates quickly and is always willing to help. We are so grateful to have had such an incredible vacation thanks to him. The location of the airbnb is incredible. You can easily walk to the beach or rent a golf cart to explore further. We watched the sunset from the balcony, which was breathtaking. The beds are the most comfortable, the showers are very luxurious and the space was immaculate. Smart tv’s in every room - and the air conditioners and fans made the space even more comfortable. Lucio has really thought of every detail to make his guests feel welcome and relaxed.

The location was great and the view was amazing! We spent most of our time on the balcony. Lucio was very accommodating. We had a baby and he provided a crib and a high chair. The beds were extremely comfortable. Lucio had lots of recommendations and made sure we had all we needed. We wanted to play cards at night after the baby was sleeping but forgot to bring them and couldn’t find any in the shops. Lucio found some for us! The location is walkable to the town and the beach, but the road is a bit rough. We had rented a car so we drove each time because of the baby. We highly recommend!

Fantastic place. Beautiful views just like the pictures. Can’t recommend enough Lucio was a great host as well. Avellanas and Les Catalina’s were 2 of our favorite day trips while staying there. 10/10 overall highly recommend

Everything about the rental exceeded our expectations. The apartment was very clean, well-appointed and had very comfortable beds. This location provides an easy walk to beaches, restaurants, shops and market. The outdoor balcony is gorgeous & comfortable with spectacular views. This was our go-to-spot for socializing, meals, watching hummingbirds, and most mornings Howler monkeys too! On our first day, Lucio gave us a tour of Tamarindo, pointing out interesting spots to eat, rent surfboards and took us grocery shopping. As we did not have a rental car for a portion our stay, Lucio took us to a beach away from Tamarindo where the surfing was spectacular and the beach was fun to explore. When we got a car, he suggested several off the beaten path adventures: hiking in a rainforest, swimming in a pond/waterfall and watching Ridley Turtles nest. Lucio made our family’s holiday more fun and memorable than we could have imagined! Pura Vida.

Lucio was an amazing host, I recommend anyone visiting or traveling through Tamarindo to stay with Lucio! His apartment is great and has everything you will need. He went above and beyond as a host - taking us to the grocery store, butcher and surfing twice.  We’ll certainly be back!

Lucio is a gracious & accommodating host.  He pays attention to details and very responsive, helpful and familiar with local amenities, options and culture.  Very clean, beautifully decorated, and comfortable space.  I was in Tamarindo with friends and really hope to come back with my family soon!!

Lucio was extremely helpful and patient from the moment of booking till I walked out the door. Incredible views made this vacation stay worth every penny. Ps don’t shy away from rainy season.

A million dollar view. The sunsets from the balcony are stunning and peaceful. We enjoyed watching the hummingbirds daily. The pool was enjoyable to have, as was the option to grill on the balcony. There are many restaurants within walking distance and the beach for surfing is an easy walk. The place was tastefully renovated and the beds were comfortable. We appreciated the smart TVs. We were able to do multiple activities close by Luke deep sea fishing , horseback riding and hikes. A trip to montverde for zip lines was another highlight.

Lucio is super responsive, kind & helpful. The place was nice and perfect for visiting Tamarindo

What can I say that hasn’t been said by previous reviewers? The place is immaculate, the view is gorgeous, the location is perfect and we absolutely loved our stay! Lucio is a gracious host and took us to the grocery store the first night even though it was pouring rain.   He was also great about checking in and giving us dining and activity tips. Such a fantastic week - Pura Vida!

Fantastic location. Beautiful view and clean comfy condo. Easy walk up, Lucio is fantastic and helpful.

Lucio and Flor went above and beyond in their hospitality to my family and I. From picking us up at the local airport, to a grocery store and carneceria (meat market) run and even an above and beyond favor to tend to my mother's health. The humility and kindness made the stay even more special. The penthouse, while a ways up the stairs and, boasts beautiful views of Tamarindo including the sunrises and sunsets. From the balcony you can enjoy Costa's Rica's naturaleza including iguanas, hummingbirds, howler monkeys, toucans, frogs and more! The home is beautifully decorated and well taken care of. Comfortable beds, clean bedding, a spacious and equipped kitchen and clean and updated bathrooms. The ground and area is safe and extremely private. Depending on your comfort, whether your preference is open windows or cool air conditioning or fans, you'll find something that works for you. While we didn't take a dip in the pool our toes did and the waters seemed quite comfortable (not super cold). A note that the location itself is a ways up the hill so renting a little golf cart in town might be a good option for you or if you prefer brisk walks it's just 10-15 minutes into town depending on your pace. We can't wait to return - hopefully with more family this time. Pura vida!

Lucio the host was very responsive and met all requests that we had.  The condo was nice with comfortable beds and updated appliances and bathrooms.  The pool was big and we used it a few times but it could use a fresh coat of paint.  The views from the balcony were amazing.  Overall a great place and awesome host.

Lucio’s place was so great and relaxing! Very clean and organized, the kitchen stocked with everything you need. The view is spectacular. Lucio is a great host, always quick to help with anything needed and answering questions. As a group we had a great time enjoying the beach, food, pool, and atmosphere in the airbnb and in Tamarindo. Be aware, if you aren’t able to walk, it would be good to rent a car. The road to town is a short walk but it is hilly and dirt roads. We enjoyed the walk but it’s good to note. Thanks so much Lucio, we hope to return to Costa Rica very soon! Pura Vida!

Great giuests!! Unfortunately during Annal’s stay it rained hard for a while during 3 nights, much more than normal, creating some debris on the road after the rain, normally the road is very clean, the property is about 8 minutes walk to the beach, some stores, and restaurants

Look no further—-this place is amazing.  Lucio was always available to answer any question we had.  He arranged the ride from the airport to the Airbnb. The place was very clean and spacious. The air conditioner worked great.   It was nice to have a washer and dryer in the unit.  I thought the location was perfect as I enjoy to walk and see new things along the way.  It was approximately 1/2 a mile to the main road.  The only disappointment I had is I did not get to see the monkeys but I heard them every morning at 5 am.  I would definitely rent this Airbnb again !!!

Right off the bat, I must commend Lucio for being one of the most attentive and caring hosts we’ve come across in our traveling journeys. He was readily available for any question and helped us carry our bags and all. Regarding the space, there is no beating the view. The patio was our favorite part and we only wish we could be there now watching those immaculate Costa Rican sunsets. We can’t wait to be back in Lucio’s care and home! Attention for those with disabilities: there is no elevator to the unit and it’s the penthouse suite of a 4-story building, so just bear that in mind!

We had a wonderful time staying at Lucio's place for a week with my Dad. It's clean, cozy and of course, the beautiful views were so great. We grilled out and enjoyed coffee and wine each day! It was quiet because it's off the main street, but close enough to walk (about .4 miles to the main street) to all the main restaurants and to town which was great. Lucio is definitely an above and beyond host! He helped so much and was so friendly and warm. Really, one of the best! Two heads up: The patio is shared with the other penthouse with a partition in the middle - which makes it private from seeing others, however, there may be noise if the other place is booked re: conversations and music. We were with my Dad, who was late 70's and the condo was about 3-4 floors up stairs. He needed to take a couple breathers. Obvi, for us, no biggie. Also, the walk to the main street was down/up a mild hill, which again for us we liked the exercise, but for Dad was noticeable. Honestly, for the views and privacy that's what you're gonna get for Costa Rica (most of them have hills and it's mild) but just putting out there if you wanna rent a car and not walk for anyone who needs that. This is a really quality stay with a warm host :) Pura Vida!

We are on our way home. The views were spectacular from our private balcony. We enjoyed dinner and breakfast there every day.  The town was safe and the locals so accommodating.  Lucio is an incredible host. Thank you so much Lucio for all your recommendations. We surfed and had great sunsets. Hummingbirds all day on our balcony.  We could see and hear the monkeys. A beautiful pool.  We will return.   I would not rent a car but use the local private transportation.  Rent a golf cart if you prefer to not walk to the beach.   But truly Lucio is a five star host. Thank you.

This place exceeded every expectation we had. Clean, amazing view, great host, great proximity to town.

Breathtaking sunsets and spectacular ocean view.  La Colina is the perfect location with easy access to the beach, town and great restaurants.   The unit was neat, clean and stocked with all the necessities.  Lucio was the perfect host, very responsive and made great suggestions for experiencing Pura Vida.

Lucio was an amazing host, and the property was perfect! The condo was spacious, had a great kitchen and porch, and was very clean. Lucio was a very attentive host and went above and beyond our expectations!

Lucio was an amazing host! The place itself was well worth the cost, even prettier in person! On top of this, Lucio went above and beyond to connect with us, keep in touch and assist us during our stay! He set up travel to and from the airport, and met us for our arrival to give us a quick run down of the place and welcome:) He stops by in the mornings to water the plants and on our second day he graciously took an hour out of his day to drive us to the grocery store and butcher shop so that we could set ourselves up for the week. We were amazed with the experience and if/when we return we will definitely reach back out!

This place was fantastic Oceanview was insane! Entire place was clean

Lucio is a great host. He was in constant communication with us and let us check in earlier, big bonus! The place is great and has an amazing view, and the sunsets! There’s not enough I can say about our stay in the Penthouse. All our meals we ate outside on the big covered patio. We only stayed four nights here but we could have certainly made it a longer stay, the plenty has everything you need to make you feel at home. Cheers Lucio.

Fantastic unit and location.  Highly recommended!

Excellent host ! Always available for any questions we had , easy to communicate and super friendly ! Would recommend it to anyone and the views…  breathtaking

Lucio's condo is clean and spotless. The sea view is great! The balcony is huge with a beautiful large table, comfortable chairs and BBQ. Everything was perfect, comfortable bed, hot water no problem. Very convenient washer/dryer. Lucio was very accessible and present for all our requests. A very kind and attentive man. Thank you for everything. Happy COSTA Rica pura Vida

Le condo de Lucio est propre et impeccable. La vue sur la mer est super! Le balcon est immense avec une belle grosse table, chaises confortables et BBQ. Tout était parfait, lit confortable, eau chaude sans problème. Laveuse/sécheuse très pratique. Lucio a été très accessible et présent pour tout nos demandes. Un homme très gentil et à l’écoute. Merci pour tout. Vive le COSTA Rica pura Vida

Great place with a tremendous host that WANTS you to enjoy your stay.

Hola Lucia, Thank you for everything. From assisting with airport shuttles, to knowing everyone in the city for surfing, food, and adventures. You made my experience 10x better. Your penthouse has one of the best views on the Tamarindo sunset. Wonderful amenities and large bright space. 10/10.

Lucio's place is simply fantastic.  If you are looking for a place in Tamarindo I would definitely recommend Lucio's Airbnb.  The penthouse is spotless and stocked with everything you could need during your stay - towels, hair dryer, soap, all kitchen supplies, washer & dryer, parking space, etc.  There are large TVs in each of the bedrooms and in the living room with cable and streaming applications.  The balcony overlooks the pool and the ocean and has a large nice wooden table that was a great space to watch sunsets, share meals, relax outside and work remotely.  The beds are very comfortable and there is AC in every room which is such a luxury!  We really enjoyed having access to the pool as well.  It was a 10 minute walk to the beach and 12-15 minute walk to restaurants in town.  The apartment is located down a long dirt/asphalt road so recommend sneakers or shoes you don't mind getting dirty if you plan to walk everywhere like we did!  Lucio is the best.  He was away visiting family during my stay but I never felt out of touch.  Anything we needed, Lucio was super fast to respond.  Just an all-around nice human being that made us feel comfortable staying in his home and provided many good recommendations for us.  We also took surf lessons with Iguana Surf and tennis lessons at 15Love down the road from the apartment.  Amazing stay.  Hope to be back to visit again soon!

Great place, great host. Lucio was exceptional.  We feel fortunate to consider him a friend after our time at his condo. Pictures don’t do the view justice, the view alone is well worth the rental. We would and will be back!!

Amazing place. Lucio is a great guy and the apartment is perfect for experiencing Costa Rica. We loved every minute.

Such a beautiful place, great view, great patio, great interior, great cookware, great bedding.  I could not have had a more pleasant and relaxing stay.  Lucio was a fantastic host.  I am looking forward to visiting again.

A scenic ocean view with incredible sights and sounds. Walk to town and beaches. Pool could use updating, but otherwise beautiful home in every way.

We enjoyed our stay a lot. The place looks even better in person than on the pictures. Unbeatable views, great flair, close to the beach, and is very well equipped as well. I would definitely want to come back here whenever I make it back here to tamarindo.

Lucio’s place is fantastic. It has an awesome ocean/sunset view and it’s extremely clean and comfortable! The location is very convenient. It’s a short walk to the beach and a few GREAT restaurants! We felt welcomed and I’d recommend Lucio’s place for anyone coming to Tamarindo!

Perfect vacation spot for easy access to great surfing. Lucio was the perfect host and the condo was great! it has everything you need. we'll be back for sure.

Lucio’s place is perfect. It’s half of the top floor with a huge covered balcony perfect for meals, and working.  The WiFi was super fast for two full time workers, both on zoom constantly.  Lucio was super chill and helpful.  He even brought us a few meals that he had cooked.  The balcony had a great breeze even on super hot days.  The pool is huge, and we basically had it to ourselves.  I would recommend this place to anyone.  The beach is a five minute walk.

First, Lucio is an amazing host! He is very quick to reply to messages on WhatsApp, and he comes by regularly to refill the feeder for the hummingbirds, so it is easy to discuss anything you need. Lucio really goes above and beyond: since we hadn't rented a car, he offered to take me to the grocery store, and helped me locate items in the store, too! Plus, he picked up fish for us from a local fisherman. Second, do not hesitate to work remotely from Lucio's place. Just note that to get the 200mbps internet speed, you have to connect to the 5Ghz wifi network (ASUS_D0...). The huge table on the balcony had enough room for four people to work at the same time, but I'd recommend a hat with a big brim (a baseball hat didn't cut it for me, and it got pretty sunny in the early afternoon). Also, there were occasional power outages (standard in Costa Rica), and they were generally brief (a few seconds to a few minutes) and relatively rare. Third, the apartment itself is very nice. The view is absolutely amazing and the pictures cannot do it justice. The main bedroom has a nice big bed, separate washing machine and dryer, and ensuite bathroom with a roomy shower. The kitchen has everything you need. Fourth, a thing to note about the location -- the building is essentially one big block back from the beach, but there is no straight line access. It's not a big deal, you walk down the street (~5 minutes), take a left, go one block, take another left, and in 2-3 minutes you're at the beach. All told, it's about 10 minutes. Also, we found a nice shortcut to get to many of the restaurants south of the apartment: take a left out of the apartment and follow that road to the end (Calle Gomez), to the right of The Lucky Monkey houses, there is a short dirt path (1 minute walk) through a wooded area to a cul de sac, and it cuts 10 minutes off the trip to Green Papaya or the farmer's market area. Overall, we had an amazing time in Tamarindo and at Lucio's place and would highly recommend it to anyone considering a trip to Tamarindo!

The apartment was absolutely fantastic. The modern appliances, high speed internet and thoughtful design touches really make for a great interior. The incredible sunsets from the beautiful roof deck are outstanding. The apartment is a 3 floor walk up, it is positioned on a hill that gives you sweeping vistas of the ocean.  Enjoyed spending time in the pool daily and there are fantastic tennis courts 3 mins walk away with an awesome coach. The parking space is perfect if you are renting a car. The best part of the apartment is having Lucio’s support. He is warm, inviting, supports you on any adventures you take and is always available for any recommendations. We were holding a virtual live event while at the apartment and her really went above and beyond to support us.

excellent stay a spectacular view, highly recommended thanks Lucio.

This place is a GEM!!!!! I know everyone says it- AND It's TRUE. THE VIEW IS THE BESTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT. Honestly- We looked in person at other places and this one by far has the best view. If you have the opportunity, you gotta book it. I will say that there are flights of stairs so be prepared for that. The beach is about 5-10 minute walk and the closest beach is my favorite in Tamarindo. We stayed here for a month with 2 kids and really appreciated the smart TV, updated bathrooms, and kitchen. The balcony has spaces between the columns so watch out for that if you have small kids. The guy downstairs can be annoying and the only table for eating is outside so make sure to bring bug spray with you. This was a GREAT decision on our end and for sure would love to come back. Trust me- you will be thinking about that view long after you leave...

The place is very comfortable, nice layout, spectacular views from the terrace.  The host is very attentive and responds immediately.  Would absolutely stay there again.
