Home in Tamarindo

All we can say is wow! The house is amazing and the pictures do not do it justice. The place was Immaculate and cleaned every day. It was literally a 3 minute drive from downtown.  Wonderful place, wonderful management, wonderful views and vibe. We were very very sad to leave.

we would recommend this home to anyone! it's beautiful, clean and perfect for a relaxing vacation.

My friends and I had the best time at this place! We arrived to a stunning sunset, which we got to enjoy from the open air living room. The home is just like the photos - modern, interesting architecture, comfortable furniture and beds, and spacious. The air conditioned bedrooms made sleeping very comfortable, and the way they are connected made for easy communication and hanging out. The kitchen is the best outfitted kitchen I've ever stayed at! The amount of dishes, utensils, pots and pans, Tupperware, glasses and coffee cups; you name it, they have it. The pool was relaxing to chill in and watch the birds in the trees. Watch the steps though! The large, main area is actually a nice sunning ledge, and not a traditional set of stairs. The loungers were comfortable and shaded with umbrellas. Everything was top notch and pampering. A maid comes daily to clean and replenish linens. A landscaper and pool guy come a couple times a week, and are there for a short amount of time.

This house is exactly as described and photographed. The views from the house and the pool area, especially around sunset, are stunning. The house was clean, and the furnishings and decorations are clearly high end. The communication with property management exceeded my expectations. Whenever I had a question, even months before the stay, I would receive a very quick and accurate response. If I were to offer one comment to future renters, being someone from a cooler climate, if you visit Tamarindo during a particularly warm stretch of weather, the indoor-outdoor concept of the home means that the living areas of the house could be warm and humid. BUT, you the good news is that you can always retreat to the amazing pool and the air conditioned bedrooms. Plus there is also plenty of shade and as a bonus, the pool area contains an ice machine for your refreshing drinks. Thank you for an amazing stay! We loved our time in Tamarindo!

Hard to explain how gorgeous of a property this is. Pics don’t do it justice. As soon as you enter, you’re greeted with the ocean horizon and an of immediate sense of calm. Design throughout the house is 10/10 - our group felt right at ease and loved every second. Perfect proximity to town. Just close enough to be near the action, but somewhat removed - a true sanctuary. Hosts were also so communicative and kind. Can’t wait to return. Pura vida !

An incredible luxury retreat in Tamarindo! The home is spacious, impeccably clean, and has the most gorgeous ocean views. The layout was perfect for our group, and we spent so much time enjoying the beautiful pool. It’s located in a peaceful, secure gated community but is super close to everything you need. Kristel was a fantastic, communicative host. 5 stars all around

Absolutely stunning home. The views are impeccable and the location is perfect for tamarindo. Highly highly recommend if you’re going to be staying in the area.

This home was incredible, even better than the photos. It truly made our trip even better. The AC in the rooms was perfect, and everyone felt like they have enough space. Having cleaners come daily was such an added bonus as bugs did accumulate overnight, which was to be expected in an open air home. The views were absolutely stunning - we even saw monkeys the first morning playing in the trees. The pool temperature was perfect, and there were enough towels for everyone. If I go back to Tamarindo, I would have to stay here again and recommend it to any group going! The house guide had excellent recommendations for golf carts, airport transportation and restaurants and everything went seamlessly!!

We had the most amazing stay!!! The house is even more beautiful in person! Truly one of the best Airbnbs. 10/10. Here's what we loved the most: -Stunning views (can't see neighboring houses) -Bedrooms are air conditioned, clean, and comfortable -Kitchen had everything you'd need for cooking -Pool is clean and relaxing -Private community with security -The daily cleaning service and fresh towels were a huge plus -Great for a large group -Kristel was super responsive and gave us amazing recommendations for transportation, chefs, grocery stocking, and activities Things to flag, but these were NOT issues at all: -The driveway is on a very steep hill -Technically can walk to town, but you have to walk on the side of a busy road without a sidewalk. We just ubered. -Common areas are all outdoors (but covered overhead) -To get to two of the bedrooms on the downstairs level, you need to walk about 15 ft without cover overhead. Just notable if it's raining. Couldn't recommend more highly!

This home is breathtaking ! It is very well stocked and extremely clean . It felt like we were the first ones to ever stay in the home !  Kristel was extremely responsive ! We lived that we had a pamphlet in the home outlining all activities , restaurants  etc. this made choosing places to go super simple with our group of 7. Was definitely the nicest place with the most beautiful view that our family has ever stayed ! We would love to return

Incredibly beautiful place. Clean, luxurious, spacious and comfortable. Exceeds expectations, if that’s even possible. It’s every bit as beautiful as in the pictures and more. The host is super friendly, responsive, proactive and very accommodating.

Was so honored to be able to stay at this place with friends. Alejandra was so sweet and accommodating and made additional accommodations to my group as well. The place was magical, the location was incredible and the people were so very nice! 10/10 recommend!!

We had an amazing stay at this home in Tamarindo. The house has a beautiful open-concept layout, an incredible infinity pool, and absolutely stunning views—especially at sunset. It felt private and peaceful, but still close enough to town to easily get to restaurants, shops, and the beach. We also had some up-close wildlife sightings during our stay, which made it feel even more special. Overall, it was a beautiful home in a great location and a perfect spot for a Costa Rica getaway.

This home is beyond stunning, host is responsive, great Location.

Casa quetzal was truly breathtaking. We planned the trip for my 30th birthday & from the house to the host our experience was incredible. The home truly could be featured in architectural digest. I cannot recommend more booking with Kristel and planning a trip to her beautiful home, and explore Tamarindo.

Place was lovely, host was very responsive and helpful. Parking in the drive was a bit tricky but there was an option for our oversized vehicle. It was a really great experience with a wonderful host, clean, well maintained beautiful home, amazing sunsets. Would visit again.

The house somehow looks better than the photos. Incredible house with a great setup. Close enough to town but also feels private in a nice neighborhood. I would stay at this place again in a heart beat!

Beautiful place. Even better than the pictures. Will come back to this one!

This was a great experience! Our family said it was our favorite vacation yet! The cleaning people were great and we used the recommended chef services to provide breakfast and dinner most days.  We rented two gas powered golf carts to get around Tamarindo. I would highly recommend that as the house is on a pretty steep hill making the sunset views incredible every evening! We had a hard time leaving.

We had a great stay at Casa Quetzal! The house is stunning and clean, the staff are friendly and helpful, and Kristel and Alejandra were responsive and thoughtful hosts. Would highly recommend a stay here, and hope to return!

We came to Tamarindo for my bachelorette and truly could not have had a better trip. The Airbnb was amazing and even better in person. The rooms were generous sizes and comfortable. Air conditioning in the rooms was perfect. I was also surprised by the fact that for an indoor/ outdoor place, you barely experienced any bugs. Truly could not say more positive things about the property or the stunning community it is located in. We hope to come back one day :)

This place was simply amazing ♥️ From the host, to the location, amenities, beautiful rooms, and so much attention to detail it was a true oasis. My friends and I have been trying to plan a trip forever and this was truly a lifetime trip we will never forget. I would highly recommend this property to absolutely everyone! I hope to be back again!

Such a great house to entertain friends while in Tamarindo!

Great location and host, would recommend to anyone visiting Tamarindo and the surrounding area. Hope to return again next year.

Amazing visit! Beautiful view and accommodations. We loved the vacation hats!

What an amazing house, the sunsets were out of this world, location is great very private and a great gated community. Would reccomend having a car rental. House was spotless clean and very well stocked!

Gorgeous place - perfect for our two families looking for togetherness and also separate space. Thank you for an amazing experience!

We had a great time at this rental. Everything was more than perfect for our family! The Casa and the view were wow! Thanks to the hosts for their excellent communication, house guide and service recommendations. We would highly recommend this Airbnb.

Nous avons passé un excellent séjour à cette location. Tout était plus que parfait pour notre famille! La Casa et la vue était wow! Merci aux hôtes pour leur excellente communication, guide de la maison et recommandations de services. Nous recommandons fortement ce Airbnb.

We spent our honeymoon here and it was absolutely stunning! This was the nicest home we have ever stayed in. host was responsive and the home was very clean!

Casa Quetzal was absolutely stunning! We traveled to Tamarindo to celebrate my 30th birthday with 7 girlfriends and we truly had the best stay. The home was spacious, comfortable and clean. The views and surroundings were so peaceful. We came in the wet season and everything was so green. The property felt very private as there was no other visible houses in front and you could see the view of the ocean from the top floor. There are neighbors to the left but he was friendly. The neighborhood is gated and very secure. I'd highly recommend renting a gas powered golf cart or something more powerful because the hills to get to the house are steep, but so fun! Kristel and Alejandra were great hosts - super responsive and helpful. The cleaning crew did an amazing job and it was so nice coming home to a clean house every afternoon. Would highly recommend and we will be staying again in the future! Thank you for such a magical trip

The villa was prettier in person than the photos. Everything was amazing. Host was responsive the entire trip and accommodating. We had a group of 8 girls for a bachelorette and it was perfect! Gorgeous vibes and close to everything we needed. We didn’t want to leave!

beutiful home, safe area, breathtaking views

This house is beautiful and was perfect for our family of 7. Everyone was able to have their secluded space though the gathering spaces are what we loved the most. The view at sunset was stunning! It is easily accessible to town, especially with the golf cart rentals. The management team was quick to respond to questions and gave amazing recommendations for private chefs and local restaurants. We will definitely book again if ever in the area and highly recommend for others looking for a peaceful retreat close to all that Tamarindo has to offer!

One of the most beautiful AirBnbs  I’ve ever had the pleasure of staying at!!!! My friends and I had such a great time and made great use of the space. Perfect for large groups. We saw magical sunsets and lightning storms from our outdoor area. Hosts were super responsive to all our needs. The House Guide they provide was also very helpful when planning our trip. I hope to find myself back to Casa Quetzal in the future!!

We had such a fun time at this beautiful property. I would definitely recommend this location and host to others. The service was unmatched.

We had an awesome stay and the place was exactly as describe. 10/10 trip and would come back in a heartbeat

Breathtaking house and surrounding area. Could have stayed forever

We loved the house and it made for a perfect family vacation.

What a beautiful home! It was perfect for our group of 9 for a bachelorette party, and matched the pictures. The open space was ideal for eating dinner together and watching TV. The pool area was great for relaxing, especially when it was extremely hot during the day, and it was also beautiful to relax at night and gaze at the stars. The views from the home were incredible and each room had a beautiful view of the ocean and greenery. The gated community was very safe and the supermarket at the bottom of the hill was very convenient. Kristel and Alejandra were very responsive and provided a very detailed PDF with recommendations and house rules. I highly recommend this home for your Tamarindo vacation!

Amazing place!! Definitely recommend for a large group! It fit everyone comfortably and the view was incredible. The house cleaners were thorough and came daily. The host was friendly and replied immediately for the couple things that we needed help with. I recommend renting golf carts to get around town. Would love to stay again!! Just left and already miss it!

Absolutely loved our stay at this incredible place - Casa Quetzal! It exceeded our expectations in every way. The home was spotlessly clean and had everything we needed for a perfect getaway. The kitchen was fully equipped with top-notch appliances, making cooking a breeze. The AC in the bedrooms was a game-changer—everyone slept comfortably, and we really enjoyed all the outdoor living spaces and pool. The location was fantastic, with easy access to everything we wanted to do. The house guidebook was packed with helpful recommendations, from private chefs to golf cart rentals and amazing excursions. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend!

Very good, friendly communication before arrival. At arrival we were received in a very friendly manner. The house is beautifully located in a very nice well-kept complex. The house is well maintained and equipped. Every day, the house and garden are kept discreetly by house staff coming for 1 hour and kept clean. We felt very comfortable and safe and enjoyed our stay.

Sehr gute, freundliche Kommunikation vor der Anreise. Bei der Ankunft wurden wir sehr freundlich empfangen. Das Haus liegt wunderschön gelegen in einer sehr schönen gepflegten Anlage. Das Haus ist super gepflegt und ausgestattet. Täglich wird Haus und Garten diskret von Hauspersonal, die für 1 Stunde kommen, gepflegt und sauber gehalten. Wir haben uns sehr wohl und sicher gefühlt und unseren Aufenthalt sehr genossen.

Fantastic location with a stunning view. Unbelievable stay, has to be the best spot to stay in Tamarindo!

We really enjoyed our stay at this home. It is continently located near town with beautiful views of the ocean and sunsets. Our hostesses were very responsive and the photos are all spot on. The home is immaculate and we felt right at home. There were two families (4 per family) and this setup was perfect for us. The pool was great for lounging as well.

The house is spectacular. It was perfect for a family of 9– grandparents, two children and their spouses and three grandchildren, ranging in age from 15 to 6 months. There are two large outdoor living spaces, which meant we could enjoy the beautiful warm weather, but had air conditioned bedrooms for sleeping. A high chair and pack and play were arranged which made it easy with the baby. We would definitely stay there again.

Our family of 7 had a wonderful stay. The pool was amazing and the house was so well stocked. We loved being able to eat breakfast and lunch at the house and go out for dinners. Having a kids room connected to ours for our 5 and 9 year old was perfect. The Automercado is right at the entrance to community and was really convenient to keep house well stocked with food and drinks. As described in the listing, there is a very steep hill you go up and down to reach the house. Even gas powered golf carts didn’t make the hill well and required us to get off and walk. Keep in mind most of the house is open air meaning bugs will be everywhere. We had frogs, grasshoppers and little bugs in living room and kitchen. The house was extremely well cleaned daily so bugs didn’t cause an issue but worth knowing in case someone in your crew won’t enjoy that much nature! Bedrooms stayed cool and bug free.

Wonderful experience, the home is absolutely beautiful. Both hostesses were very responsive and helpful! Would definitely return.

Incredible layout and beautiful home. Host is very responsive and professional. Howler Monkeys got close to the property, it was an amazing experience. 10/10.

We had an amazing stay! The place was beautiful, clean, cozy, and exactly as described. The design of the space is impeccable. We were very impressed by the kitchen and how functional it was. One of the best Airbnbs I’ve ever had. The host was incredibly responsive and helpful, making sure everything was perfect. The location was convenient, and we felt right at home. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to others!

Best Airbnb ever! So beautiful, safe and so much fun! You don’t need to think about anything once you’re there. She has everything you need. Place is super clean and organized. Host was amazing and super responsive. I hope to go again next year! Great location. Great recommendations. Couldn’t recommend this more. Gates community and super safe.

Kristel and Alejandra were very responsive and helpful. The property is even more beautiful in person. The view of the ocean and forest is breathtaking. We had plenty of room for 9 people and the living rooms were perfect for our group. I would gladly stay here again.

We loved it here. Great location in a very high end community. The house and hosts are perfect.

We stayed as a family of 8 for a week and Casa Quetzal was amazing.   This was a rare occasion where something exceeds your expectations.   Casa Quetzal was better than the photos.  The moment you walk in you are steeped with luxury, amazing views, what seems like every detail thought of.  Alejandra was very helpful with the check in process and providing instructions   The house instructions provided great recommendations for local activities.   The house is secluded enough to be peaceful and at the same time just a short golf cart ride to the market or Tamarindo and all the beaches.   We hope we get the chance to come back very soon!

The home is outstanding and the view is incredible. Everything was perfect and we will absolutely stay here again the next time we’re in Tamarindo!

We had a wonderful stay at Casa Quetzel, the pool was amazing and the space in itself was gorgeous. The hosts were extremely accommodating and communicative I appreciated that so much. Gave great recommendations and gave a lot of information. The cleaning staff was impeccable they came every day for the pool and the kitchen and bedrooms. We had fresh towels daily and felt very taken care of. Things I wish I knew prior to going would be that the only part of the house that is air conditioned is the bedrooms, the entire house is covered outdoor living even the showers. So when cooking etc it’s the temperature of the outside and there aren’t too many fans in the living spaces. Other then that it was a perfect space for many guests and we can’t wait to come back to Costa Rica!

This place is amazing! Even though there was some rain we fully were able to enjoy our stay to the fullest. The indoor outdoor vibe is amazing! Would definitely stay here again!

Looked just like the photos ! Host was very responsive ! Would recommend

had the best time staying here! There were nine of us for my bachelorette trip, and we absolutely loved it. I would highly recommend this place—it was beautiful, peaceful, and private. The host greeted us upon arrival, even though our flight was delayed by three hours. She was incredibly flexible, showed us around, and was so kind and welcoming. I will definitely be booking again in the near future! Additionally, it's about a 15-minute walk to both the town and the beach, which was super convenient. There are also Ubers available if you prefer not to walk. We truly enjoyed our stay here!

Absolutely FABULOUS stay, beyond five stars!! Alejandra and housekeeping took such good care of us! The home, the view, the vibe….no words to describe it! Don’t hesitate, book this place!

Truly cannot say enough wonderful things about this house and the area. It’s so close to town and yet feels incredibly serene and secluded. The house is beautifully decorated and well equipped. Upstairs is all open air which was lovely and made us feel at home with nature. We came at the end of dry season so did not have to worry about mosquitoes at all. Bedrooms had AC and were very comfortable. We stayed with two families and the setup was perfect to share the house. Sunsets by the pool and overlooking the ocean will be a lifelong memory!! Thank you, Kristal and Alejandra for a wonderful stay!!!

The place was amazing! Such a relaxing vibe. Views were spectacular. Location was close to Tamarindo but not too close as Tamarindo can get very busy. The house had a great layout. There is a grocery store at the gate entrance that was very convenient. Everything is open air except for the bedrooms. The kitchen and the pool bar need to be kept clean of food or drink to keep the ants and geckos away.  We had a great stay and would highly recommend.

The neighborhood is still being developed. The next door neighbor who made it apparent he’s an owner now a renter is extremely aggressive and had music blaring at midnight on a Wednesday night. The recommendations for restaurants and tour companies was great. The woman who bought the groceries over charged in a HUGE way.

We stayed here with 6 adults and 2 kids and had a wonderful time. The place appears practically brand new and just like the photos, and is a 5 minute drive to Tamarindo Beach and numerous restaurants etc. I would note that the curtains in the bedrooms do not actually block much light, so if you are someone who is sensitive to that I would recommend a sleep mask. We also used chef services from Aurore’s Kitchen and would highly recommend them. Overall a beautiful home great experience.

It is rare that we can say that a property is even more beautiful in real life than in the photos. That's the case for this one! Beautiful decor and splendid views of the landscape. The space is friendly and convenient. We were there with our two kids and another family of three. There's nothing missing at all levels. The host is very attentive to our questions and gives us all the necessary information very quickly. The house is pristine, the cleaning service is impeccable. Recommended for a dream stay!

Il est rare que l’on peut dire qu’une propriété est encore plus belle en vrai que sur les photos. C’est bien le cas pour celle-ci! Magnifique décor et vue splendide sur le paysage. L’espace est convivial et pratique. Nous y étions avec nos deux enfants et une autre famille de trois personnes. Il ne manque de rien à tout niveau. L’hôte est très à l’écoute de nos questions et nous donne tous les informations nécessaires très rapidement. La maison est immaculée, le service de ménage est impeccable. Je recommande pour un séjour de rêve!

It is always a treat to find that your travel location is more beautiful than the photos! Casa Quetzal surprised and delighted me, my retreat guests, and our service providers! The hill to the house is really steep, so make sure to get a powerful gas-fueled golf cart or rental car. Also, there is no community space with a/c, but the evenings are pretty cool and the bedrooms are wonderfully chilled. The ocean views, bird sounds and sightings, the infinity pool, and privacy make for a magical space. Also, the team responded to my questions in real time. I look forward to hosting future retreats here!

This home was perfect for us! Exactly what was described and what we’d hoped for. We were there as a family of six, all adults, and it worked great for us. The open air concept is just amazing! We watched the sunset most nights from the pool area and we have stunning photos. We rented 2 golf carts and that worked perfect to go into town. The grocery store is so close and convenient. The entire staff was great and easy to communicate with and answered all our questions and concerns almost immediately. I would definitely recommend this home. Thank you for sharing it with us! :)￼

I cannot say enough good things about this place! I booked the house for a wellness-focused bachelorette and it easily accommodated the 8 of us. The house was immaculately cared for and provided all the necessities, including shampoo and conditioner, table settings for at least 10, and nearly any kitchen appliance you could need. The packet of information they sent out prior to our arrival contained any information we could possibly need, and any other questions we had were quickly answered. Things to note: - All living spaces and shower areas are open air, which we found to be incredibly inviting. We didn’t find there to be an overwhelming amount of bugs or critters, but we were careful to keep all food products in enclosed areas. - The hill to the house is a steep one! If you rent golf carts (highly recommend—downtown Tamarindo is a 5-10min drive), gas-powered are better at getting over the hill, though the electric ones can make it so long as they’re fully charged. 10/10!!

If you love great design, this house is a dream come true. It goes beyond the photos - every detail has been carefully planned with aesthetics and luxury in mind. It's not just a house - it's a masterpiece of design that feels both safe and incredibly inviting. For those who appreciate beauty in their surroundings, this place is paradise. Every corner is thoughtfully designed and features high-end finishes. It felt like a secure retreat, and honestly, I didn't want to leave. Having seen some of the most luxurious homes out there, I can say without a doubt that Kristel's home is the most beautiful I've ever stayed in. It's a must-visit for anyone with a keen eye for design and a love for luxury. We celebrated a birthday here with a group of six friends, and it was perfect for the occasion. The space comfortably accommodated us all, providing an ideal backdrop for creating unforgettable memories.

We stayed 6 days at Casa Quetzal.  The house was amazing.  It was like like having your own Costa Rican tree house along with ALL the high end amenities. It was plenty spacious for our family of 5.  Bedrooms were beautiful and comfortable. Main areas were open air.  We had a few geckos wandering around, but other than that, very few bugs.  If you love nature, this house is for you!  The views and the sunsets from the house were breathtaking.  We used Kristal's recommendations for restaurants, transportation, and services and everything was perfect.  Everything about this house is 5 star!

Amazing home to stay , gives you the Costa Rican experience ❤️

The house is stunning. It gives the feel of being in a private, luxury resort from the architectural details to being perched on the side of a hill with jungle and beach canopy views to the high-end aesthetic of indoor/outdoor living. The staff is incredible. Alejandra and her team were kind, responsive and an overall delight. The neighborhood is highly secure - so be sure the gate security have your itinerary and names of all guests, drivers, other amenities staffing you want to bring in. Verbal approval is required for entry. It was a perfect space for our two families totally nine people: one primary suite connected to a queen suite and another primary suite connecting to a bunk room suite. The open air community space is perfect for entertainment. Each bedroom has its own AC unit and fan. The upstairs living area gets very warm without a breeze and would be nice to have two large fans for additional circulation. We highly recommend Casa Quetzal as a magical home base.

Thank you so much Virginia, it was a pleasure hosting you and your family
