California Beach Style Bungalow - Houses for Rent in Tamarindo, Provincia de Guanacaste, Costa Rica

John’s home in playa langosta was perfect for our little family. It had all of the amenities we needed and was clean, comfortable and quiet. We enjoyed the private pool each day and the AC and washer/dryer were much appreciated. It was nice having restaurants within walking distance, away from the hustle and bustle of tamarindo. The well-equipped kitchen was great for making breakfast (and other meals) before venturing out for the day. This trip allowed us to relax and slow down a bit — something we definitely needed! Thanks again for sharing your lovely home.

John has a beautiful home that has been newly renovated since the photos have been taken. He was a responsive and helpful host. The area surrounding his home is in the Cala Luna property and so this allowed us to have some hotel perks as well. The pool was beautiful and very welcomed with the heat. There was a full kitchen, JBL speaker, and lots of towels as some highlights we enjoyed. Tamarindo is a 20 minute walk to town which is a great distance because it allowed for some peace and quiet from the busier town area. I would recommend this place to anyone and I will stay here again if coming back to Tamarindo.

This home is pure bliss - we absolutely loved everything about it. It's more beautiful than the photos show, and the private pool is such a wonderful perk in the heat! John is a rare find in a host - he's responsive, and shares the best local recommendations. Our whole family is grateful to have stayed in this beautiful place and would love to return! The ambiance, functionality, location and host cannot be complimented highly enough. Thank you so much for a great four nights in your amazing vacation home, John!

My family had an incredible time at John’s Villa. The photos honestly don’t do it justice—the atmosphere and vibe of the place are something you have to experience in person. The location is perfect: just a quick golf cart ride to all the action, yet far enough away to feel private and peaceful. It was the ideal balance for a relaxing and memorable stay.

We had a great few days at John’s place! I would highly recommend this rental to families with little ones. The location was perfect for exploring the beach and tide pools, just steps from the restaurant at the Cala Luna hotel, and a short drive into Tamarindo (it could be walkable but we drove due to the heat). Our three year old has been crying to go back since we left! Thanks John!

Absolutely gorgeous property with excellent service and the best host! John was so accommodating and kind. He was very responsive and overall just such a wonderful host. Highly recommend!!

John’s place was even more lovely than the pictures and his responsiveness was top tier. Our 3 kids really enjoyed the pool and seeing the monkeys in the trees right in the backyard. The location right on the Cala Luna Hotel property made breakfast and the beach an easy walk and the walk to the food truck park was only 12 minutes. We left a load of laundry in the dryer during one of our outings and returned to them all folded neatly which was a nice surprise. We actually liked that there was no tv to help reduce distractions.  A very wonderful stay!

John has a great spot that is in a prime location. It’s quiet at night and a short walk to the beach, and roughly 15 minutes to walk into town. The pool was a great place to hang out in the morning and evening. I’ll definitely book here again if I stay in Tamarindo.

We stayed at John’s place for a week in Playa Langosta and were overall pleased with the stay. The villa is as described and in photos. We loved having the pool there and all of the wildlife that still roam the area. John was very helpful and responsive during our stay!

One of the best airbnb’s we’ve stayed at!! Great location, secure and cute neighborhood, clean, stylish, and nice to have the two bedrooms on opposite ends of the house + each with doors to the backyard. The pictures on the listing are outdated - they’ve done some beautiful upgrades! Big floor to ceiling windows and glass doors open up to the backyard.

We had a wonderful stay at John’s place. The location was peaceful and relaxing, yet still within easy walking distance to Tamarindo town and the beach. One of our favorite things was being able to quickly walk to Punta San Francisco for sunset, which is easily one of the best sunset spots in Tamarindo. A special bonus was seeing monkeys in the trees on the property after a great beach day. Lastly, John was extremely helpful and responsive, offering great restaurant recommendations both near his place and in town. Highly recommend for anyone visiting Tamarindo!

We had a wonderful time at the villa. Larger inside than the pictures show and was full of everything we needed. The cleaner was a huge plus since we rented it for 2 weeks. One of my fav parts was having the kitchen stocked with a few niceties like avocado oil, salt, pepper and plastic containers. It had all the towels we needed and the pool was amazing. It’s a great place with kids! It’s a 18 mins walk to Tamarindo and the hotel complex it’s in is very very nice. Definitely recommend his place!

My family enjoyed 11 nights at John’s place.  The house was more spacious than expected.  All amenities needed were available.  We felt safe at the house and surrounding area.  The pool was wonderful and we enjoyed it daily.  There is a grocery store and 5 restaurants very close by.  Tamarindo is about a 15 min walk.  We did not have a car.  You can rent golf carts if needed.   Beaches - Playa Langosta is a very short walk 5 min and you can walk to Tamarindo beach in about 15 min.   Tamarindo is busier, it was nice to stay in a quieter area.   Howler monkeys were seen morning and night right on the roof of the house and trees in the yard.  We also saw iguanas and variegated  squirrels  in the yards along with a number of birds.  Cleaning service was included in the stay the lovely lady came a number of times while we were  there.  John was easy to communicate with and responded quickly to my many questions prior and during our stay.   We would stay again at John’s villa.

John’s place was fantastic! The location was perfect, and having a pool was a huge plus for our kids. John was very responsive, and we really appreciated Reina coming by twice to clean during our stay. Everything was smooth and enjoyable—highly recommend! Thanks again, John!

Loved our stay! Clean, good location, lots of space. Our little family had a blast!

John's place is great for families, private outdoor space with pool is amazing for kids. The space itself is very well taken care of and much bigger than we expected. The multiple beaches within walking distance were fantastic and easy to get to. John was very helpful and quick to respond with any questions we had, great host. Would highly recommend this place.

We got to the California Beach Bungalow and it was absolutely gorgeous.   Open space with wooden vaulted ceilings, absolutely amazing. It was perfect for us including the surfboard racks front and center of the living space.  The pool was a blessing every day after the beach.  We also loved our location just outside of town in a beautiful safe neighborhood with a guard at the gate 24/7.  It was everything we could have wanted.

Great place! John is an excellent host - everything was perfect!  Looking forward to returning again! Thank you!!!

Excelente lugar!  John un excelente anfitrion - todo perfecto!  Con ganas de regresar nuevamente!  Gracias!!!

We loved this house and the location inside Cala Luna, and across from the beach! The house is gorgeous and the pool was perfect for our kids. We surfed with SALT (amazing!) all week and can’t wait to come back! John was responsive and helpful. We loved the smoothies across the street and the quiet side of Langosta. I was able to run the beach to Tamarindo every morning with ease - so beautiful. Don’t hesitate to book this place, particularly for a family.

Beautiful villa in a nice location. Beds very comfortable and use of laundry was really nice. John was very easy to communicate with.

The location was ideal. 15 minute walk to the busy Tamarindo beach and right across from the much quieter Langosta beach. Nearby are some cafes, restaurants and grocery shop and you are in the same compound as the Cala Luna hotel and their facilities. The villa was very spacious with a lovely outside space and a great pool. I would highly recommend John’s place.

Amazing host and amazing spot!  Would stay again.

Absolute wonderful stay. The villa is immaculate. The private pool and outdoor space is a dream. Could have stayed forever!

Good place to stay. Liked the privacy of the location and can walk to downtown Tamarindo if wanted. Shower pressure wasn’t great, but all in all a good stay.

We loved our stay! Amazing location - you cannot beat the proximity to the beach, the hotel amenities, or its walkability. We were within walking distance to some great restaurants too. The bungalow was quaint, quiet, and perfect for our family of 4.

Location was perfect! Loved being walking distance to the beach for a morning walk/coffee. Walk to Tamarindo was a bit far since we had kids but just drove and parked in town and walked from there and worked perfect for us. Loved having the pool, watching monkeys in the mango tree next door, and a large space for us to feel comfortable.

The villa was perfect for our needs!  Beautiful backyard with the pool to relax; close to the beach. We could easily walk into town for the action and to great restaurants. We went on fishing charters and caught tuna, mahi mahi, rooster fish and lots of others. Our son was sick (nothing to do with Costa Rica) and needed to see a doctor and the receptionist at the hotel organized a house call in 20 minutes!  Do not hesitate to rent John’s house!

Playa Langosta is just down the road from Tamarindo. John’s home was perfectly located for all the attractions, restaurants, and beach for our trip. Loved the prvt pool and patio area. The interior layout was great for the family with large open common spaces. We had an appliance failure and John replaced it for our use.  Very clean, inviting home.

A great place to stay, clean and comfortable. John was very responsive and helpful. Away from the hustle and bustle of Tamarindo but easily walkable. Some great restaurants close by and an easy walk to the beach

I had the best Airbnb experience ever at this location! The value was exceptional, with the property being even more stunning in person than the photos suggested. It was spacious, impeccably clean, and perfectly maintained. Though close to all the action, it was just the right distance away to offer a relaxing, private oasis vibe. Upon our arrival, we were greeted by howler monkeys, which was an awesome surprise that repeated itself on the morning we left. The pool was large and ideal for cooling off in the heat, and we felt completely secure thanks to the Cala Luna hotel grounds security. I highly recommend opting for the Cala Luna breakfast; it was easily the best omelette I've ever had. Conveniently, the villa is located just across the street from a wonderful stand offering acai bowls, smoothies, and excellent coffee. There are also two restaurants within a half-block's distance. The Cala Luna staff were incredible, and so was John, who helped us arrange golf carts and tours.

We had the best time staying at John's place - every morning I woke up to Howler monkeys on top of the house! Everything in the house was above and beyond our expectations. I cannot wait to start planning our next trip back, thanks again John!

We highly recommend John’s place. It’s close to the hustle & bustle of town yet far enough away to provide a serene/ quiet retreat. It’s walkable to a beautiful beach that provides THE BEST sunsets around. The house feels very private & secure. There is a security guard at the entrance from the road that monitors for villa guests & Cala Luna guests. The house has keyless entry which is so convenient. The photos don’t do it justice as it seems a lot bigger in person. The pool is nice and was cleaned every other day. There are great wooden lounges and a fun hammock chair that got a lot of use by our family. The beds are comfy and the bathrooms were large. Reyna was wonderful and cleaned every other day during our stay. We had a fridge issue and John took care of it immediately and replaced some items in the fridge. He was very communicative and made sure everything went smoothly. We had iguanas/ howlers every day that visited us in the backyard. We had a wonderful time. Thanks John!

We had a wonderful week long stay at John’s house. The house was exactly as pictured and was the perfect base to explore Playa Langosta and Tamarindo. The house was very spacious and we loved that each bedroom had its own bathroom. The pool area was perfect! The pool itself was even larger than the pictures suggest and our family of four spent hours on it! A bonus for us were the howler monkeys we heard and saw every day.  We made use of the walking path behind  the house to get to Cala Luna hotel and the beach, but we also made use of the many public beach access spots along the main road to get to Playa Langosta and Tamarindo Beach. We had delicious meals at Fish and Cheese ( we also had pizzas and sandwiches to go from here!), Tandoor, and the beachfront restaurant at Capitan Suizo hotel. Our family of four ended up walking everywhere for the week, but lots of people we saw had rented golf cart to easily zip around. We would happily return! A slice of paradise for sure!

Lovely place with amazing indoor and outdoor spaces. Well stocked kitchen: utensils, pots, pans, and appliances. Close enough to town to be convenient and far enough to be quiet.

we had an absolutely amazing time in lagosta.  the villa was clean, comfortable and very big.  it was peaceful and relaxing, far enough from Tamarindo to be quiet but close enough if you want to walk around.  the beach is right there, beautiful and very private. John was very helpful and responsive. I would definitely stay again.

Lush surroundings, beautiful peaceful  home, upscale resort feel inside out. Easy walk to beach and convenient store/restaurants and you may not want to leave this place to relax away from downtown Tamarindo.

Excellent house.  Bigger than we thought it was.  Quiet oasis but close to nice restaurants and shops.  Easy access to beaches.  John’s place is a great find.

This place and location was a dream!! I would totally stay here again and would highly recommend it to all my friends! Walking distance from Playa Langosta and a short drive from beautiful restaurants and cafes! A peaceful, quiet location just outside of all the hotspots. This house is so earthy and beautiful and was super clean! We enjoyed the howler monkeys that came by as well!

Great villa! Very clean, quiet and convenient to town and beach. John was very quick to respond to any questions. Everything was kept clean inside and out. Plenty of space, comfy beds, nice equipped kitchen. Would definitely stay there again! Had a great time!

Was nicely updated . Nice shade in back yard. Very clean . Pool was perfect temperature for swimming.

John's place was awesome. It was just steps from the beautiful Cala Luna Boutique Hotel and the beach. And a short walk (5-10 minutes) to downtown Tamarindo. The private pool was much larger than I was expecting. The bedrooms with private bathrooms were big as well. I appreciated that John kept the lighting and decor style in his villa that synced with the hotel. We saw 5 Howler monkeys on the roof one morning and each day we were visited by Iguana's at the pool. John responded quickly too. Quick tip: You can walk to the Cala Luna Boutique Hotel entrance either out the front door or take the walking path behind the pool.

Excellent vacation, very nice area of Lobster, Tamarindo and the house is very nice. Excellent pool. The perfect location.

Excelentes vacaciones, muy bonita la zona de Langosta, Tamarindo y la casa muy linda. La piscina excelente. La ubicación perfecta.

Amazing aesthetic, cozy yet modern, in the best location steps from the most beautiful beach and the most delicious restaurant at the Cala Luna hotel. We felt right at home and can’t wait to come back!

Even more beautiful than the photos, great location - would book again!

We have extended our stay an other week because we felt so good to be there , it was  a safe area, close to Cala Luna Boutique hotel ,  the house had a lot of space, was clean, and John the host was very gentle and available from the start, he made his best to make our stay comfortable. If we will come back to Tamarindo , we will chose California beach Bungalow again.Thank you

Location, location, location! This villa is located outside of now bustling Tamarindo, so it is close enough to walk to the center of town but a bit more peaceful. We ended up walking to Bistro Langosta and Fish and Cheeses right across the street which were both outstanding restaurants. There is also a small walkable grocery store which had everything we needed. The Cala Luna restaurant and bar is lovely. There is also very easy access to the beach. The private pool at the villa was very nice and private. It was very hot when we were there and the AC was efficient and cooled the home very well. This is a nice spacious villa for a small family or two couples with a well equipped kitchen. Just personal preference, we would have liked access to the laundry area (though John offered to have the maid do our laundry) and a television would be nice (we are news junkies!) as well as bath soap and shampoo as I often don’t pack them to save space.
