Casa Leona: The Perfect 10 Guest Colonial Villa - Houses for Rent in Tamarindo, Provincia de Guanacaste, Costa Rica

Casa Leona was a great place to stay during our time in Tamarindo.  Our group loved gathering around the private pool at night to wind down after the hustle and bustle of the town.

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed your stay at Casa Leona and especially the private pool a perfect place to relax and unwind after exploring Tamarindo. It was a pleasure hosting your group, and we hope to welcome you back again soon! Warm regards from Casa Leona 🌿

Casa Leona was an amazing place to stay. My family and I had a private place to gather and enjoy the pool while having our own individual rooms and bathrooms to retreat to when needed. Within walking distance to the beach and shopping. Friendly staff and amazing place.

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We are delighted to hear that you and your family had such a great stay at Casa Leona. It is lovely to know that you enjoyed having a private space to gather, relax by the pool, and still have the comfort and privacy of your own rooms and bathrooms.

Our team truly appreciates your kind words, and we hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you and your family back for another memorable stay in the future. Warm regards, Casa Leona

Everything was great. Perhaps a small issue was that we were without water for hours in the morning, which made it difficult for us to cook, bathe, and so on, but other than that, it was the perfect place to spend time with friends, and the rooms and the space were very nice.

Todo muy bien. Quizás un pequeño detalle fue que estuvimos sin agua por horas de la mañana y nos complico el asunto de cocinar, bañarnos y demás, pero fuera de eso el lugar perfecto para pasar con amigos y muy lindo los cuartos y el espacio

This was a well distribute beautiful house and the staff was excellent.

We loved everything about this home! We were a family of 8 and everyone had their private bedrooms and bathrooms. The kitchen is very well equipped, the bedrooms were all very comfortable. The place was very clean and we really enjoyed the private pool in the middle. Danielle is a great host and very responsive. We loved everything about it and can’t wait to come back! Thank you again

Thank you so much for taking the time to share such a wonderful review! It was truly a pleasure hosting you and your family. We’re delighted to hear that the home provided everyone with the comfort and privacy they needed, and that you enjoyed the well-equipped kitchen, comfortable bedrooms, cleanliness, and private pool. We also truly appreciate your kind words about our communication and service. Making sure our guests feel comfortable and well taken care of throughout their stay is very important to us. Thank you again for choosing our home for your family vacation. We would be absolutely delighted to welcome you all back for another memorable stay in the future!

Incredible private space in a colonial style home as part of a larger gated complex - we felt very safe and set back. Incredible location right next to everything in downtown Tamarindo, near where the Thursday night market takes place. Our host was spectacular, super responsive, kind, helpful! The staff were AMAZING. I cannot speak more highly of them. As other reviews have mentioned, it's good to know that only one of the bathrooms has hot water!

Johan was a wonderful guest. He was respectful, easy to communicate with, and took great care of the space during his stay. Everything was left in excellent condition. We truly enjoyed hosting him and would gladly welcome him back anytime. Highly recommended to any host!

It's an amazing place, the location is the best, and the staff is super attentive. 100% recommended

Es un lugar increíble, la ubicación es de lo mejor, su personal es super atento.  100% recomendado

Hi Carlos, thank you so much for your review! We are very happy to hear that you enjoyed your stay, the location, and the service from the staff. We look forward to having the opportunity to host you again in the future.

Excellent host. It was amazing and we enjoyed Tamarindo to the fullest. Thank you very much, and we plan to stay again at some other time!

Excelente anfitrión. Se pasó increíble y disfrutamos tamarindo al máximo. Muchas gracias y planeamos alojarnos nuevamente en algún otro momento!

What I loved most about our stay, is the unique architecture and layout of the house. We wanted to go to Costa Rica and stay in a place that felt local. It didn’t feel like resort. I feel like we got a taste of Costa Rica. I also felt very safe, and the place was very clean, and the staff was attentive on a daily basis. I would definitely stay there again! Thank you all.

Casa Leona is an excellent place to stay, fully equipped and full of thoughtful touches.

Casa Leona es un excelente alojamiento, completamente equipado y lleno de detalles

A fantastic place, within walking distance of the beach, restaurants, and shops! Highly recommended!

Et fantastisk sted, med gangavstand til strand, restauranter og butikker! Anbefales på det sterkeste!

Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re really happy to hear you enjoyed the location and found everything within easy walking distance. That’s exactly the experience we hope to offer. It was a pleasure hosting you, and you’re always welcome back anytime!

Great host, amazing location and place to stay

Casa Leona was beautiful! great location for a group of friends and the staff were incredibly kind and helpful. Close to all the downtown spots and beach.  Would highly recommend

Thank you for your wonderful review! We're so happy to hear that you enjoyed your stay, the staff’s attention and location. It was a pleasure hosting you, and we truly appreciate your recommendation. We would love to welcome you back to Casa Leona anytime!

Danielle was an amazing and such a responsive host! Always answering our questions and being so flexible with us! She helped up plan our transportation and was on top of everything. Her place is gorgeous, so clean, super safe and staff is incredible. Would totally stay here again, my friends and I loved it!

We had a great time at Casa Leona! My group loved the indoor pool and sitting space, and the location is perfect as it's quiet but walkable to everything. We also loved that the property was private and had security guards. The downtown area had tons of restaurants and things to do and it was a quick walk to the beach. Would recommend!

Thank you for your wonderful review! We're so happy to hear that you enjoyed the pool, the peaceful location, and the privacy of the property. It was a pleasure hosting you, and we truly appreciate the recommendation. We’d love to welcome you back to Casa Leona anytime! 🌴

Great Stay in Tamarindo as we simply loved our time here. The place was clean, comfortable, and perfectly located, very close to the beach, restaurants, and everything in town. The host was friendly and responsive, and all the little touches made the stay easy and relaxing. Would definitely stay again on our next trip to Tamarindo.

Thank you so much for your lovely review! We’re thrilled to hear you loved your stay and enjoyed the location, comfort, and little details. It was a pleasure hosting you, and we’d be happy to welcome you back on your next trip to Tamarindo!

Great place with unique character and privacy, this is not just an ordinary hotel or home.  Twice we literally were watching monkeys in the trees next to the home while standing by our pool.  You are off the main road yet you can easily walk to the main road which has great restaurants and other businesses and it is safe neighborhood.  The on grounds staff was also very helpful.

Thank you for your lovely review! We’re so happy you enjoyed the unique character, privacy, and the wildlife around the property — watching monkeys is always special! It was a pleasure hosting you, and we’d love to welcome you back again.

Our group of 9 had an amazing time at Casa Leona. The location is great, about a 10 min walk to the beach, and you pass bars, restaurants, and boutiques along the way. The property itself was clean, safe, and beautiful. We loved having a bathroom in each bedroom, enjoyed the outdoor kitchen and living space, and the private pool. It was also amazing to have housekeeping to tidy the space while we were out, and a security guard at night. Even though there was security, we never felt unsafe in tamarindo. The concierge, Isabella, was super responsive to email and helped us coordinate rides to and from the Libera airport, and also booked an ATV tour for us which was a highlight. We hope to be back at Casa Leona one day!

Thank you so much, Lauren, for your wonderful review! We’re thrilled to hear your group had such a great time at Casa Leona and enjoyed the location, the layout of the home, and the outdoor spaces, including the pool. We’re especially happy to know our housekeeping, night security, and Isabella’s concierge support helped make your stay smooth and memorable. It was a pleasure hosting you, and we truly hope to welcome you back one day

This home in Tamarindo was perfect—very comfortable, homey, and welcoming. One of the highlights was the concierge, who was amazing and able to help us with anything we needed throughout our stay.

The location couldn’t be better: just a 5-minute walk to the beach, with shops and restaurants all around. Everything is truly within walking distance, which made the stay incredibly convenient.

The only thing to be aware of when booking is to come prepared for mosquitos, which is pretty typical for the area. Overall, we had a great experience and would absolutely stay here again.

Wow! Stunning stay. The space itself I beautiful and perfect for groups. Being able to hang out in the open air around the pool was a huge plus. The space was well equipped, and the host communication was great. Having the daily cleaning service was also a huge perk. Location was also great- felt private but also short walk from the beach / all of the action. Highly recommend.

Thank you so much for your kind words, Benjamin! We’re so happy to hear you enjoyed the space, the pool area, and how well equipped everything was. It’s great to know the location felt both private and conveniently close to the beach and town. We truly appreciated hosting your group and thank you for the recommendation. We hope to welcome you back in the future!

The home was beautiful and perfectly suited to enjoy the town of Tamarindo and the nearby attractions.

excellent value.  the property easily accommodates a large family or group of guests.  easy walk to town and beaches.  we will definitely come back and recommend to friends and family.  some people noted only one shower had hot water, but that was not a problem or issue at all!  all the showers were comfortable.  one shower was "hot" but nobody in our family used it!

Thank you so much, Thomas! We’re glad the house was comfortable for your family and that you enjoyed the convenient location. It was a pleasure hosting you and you’re welcome back anytime!

What a fantastic place to stay! It was truly unique, conveniently located, secure, and beautifully maintained. The kitchen was fully equipped with everything we needed, and the outdoor kitchen added an authentic Costa Rican touch. The private pool was a highlight—perfect for cooling off in the heat.  We’re already planning our return trip.   Thank you to all the wonderful staff at Casa Leona!

Thank you, Carla, for your kind words. We’re so happy to hear that you and your family enjoyed your stay at Casa Leona. We look forward to welcoming you back in the future. You're always welcome here!

Danielle’s place was amazing and beautiful just as in the photos. Very comfortable for our big group of family and friends and conveniently located to the beach, shops and restaurants! Only regret is that we stayed for just one night. Highly recommend for the location, access and great communication!

Thank you for sharing your experience. We're glad to hear that you enjoyed your stay! We hope to host you again in the future. Thanks for choosing us!

A great stay, walkable to the city but far enough to be secluded, great house, clean property, great kitchen, responsive host

Thank you for sharing your experience. We're glad to hear that you enjoyed your stay!  We hope to host you again in the future. Thanks for choosing us!

Such an amazing spot! The front desk staff (Daniella) were super friendly and they were so helpful with local recommendations. The house was beautiful and the rooms were in amazing condition. Maids came daily, and a guard was posted from 6pm-6am so it was completely safe. The pool was amazing and they even gave us complimentary eggs and beer!

Thank you for sharing your experience. We're glad to hear that you enjoyed the location, our staff, and the amenities, and that you felt safe during your stay. It's great to know that you appreciated the recommendations and the little extras like the eggs and beer. We hope to host you again in the future. Thanks for choosing us!

We came here for our family vacation and had the best time. Check in was easy, and a few people in our party arrived early but Daniela kindly allowed them to leave their bags in the office so they could wander around before check in. The property is in a great location, walkable to places in town, but also quiet and peaceful when you are hanging around the house. The layout of the house is awesome, and everyone having their own bathroom was a huge perk for us. Howler monkeys are in the trees above the house, and to watch them while floating in the pool is so entertaining and relaxing. The house was well equipped with the basics, it was nice to not have to anything outside of food. The staff were always very kind and responsive. You have the option of getting the main area and rooms cleaned every day or as often as you need. We really loved our stay and would stay again here!

Thank you, Cristina, for your kind words. We’re so happy to hear that you and your family enjoyed your stay at Casa Leona. We look forward to welcoming you back in the future. You're always welcome here!

We are glad you enjoyed your stay. I hope to host you again in the future! Thank you for choosing Casa Leona!

Casa Leona was nothing short of PERFECT! I’ve been to Tama multiple times and never once have I had an experience as good as this. Honestly - this is the best stay I’ve had on AirBNB ever. The on-site management was absolutely amazing and very responsive to all of our needs. We are a bunch of messy college kids and every single day the house was spotless when we returned home. I would recommend this to absolutely anyone. Thanks for making our trip amazing!

Thank you Spencer for your kind words. We hope to host you again in the future!

Casa Leona is amazing! The open layout with the pool in the center makes the whole house feel connected while still giving each room its own space and character. It was the perfect setup. whether we were hanging out by the pool or relaxing in our rooms, everything felt seamless. You can tell a lot of thought went into the design because it’s both stylish and super comfortable. Definitely one of the best stays we’ve had, and we’d come back in a heartbeat!

We are glad you enjoyed your stay. I hope to host you again in the future! Thank you for choosing Casa Leona!

This house was in the perfect location. Close enough to town to walk, but we loved having a golf cart to explore more easily. Everything was exactly as described, clean, and well-maintained, with daily maid service that kept the place spotless. It had all the essentials for a comfortable stay, but the only thing I’d add would be some lounge chairs to relax in the sun during the day. Other than that, it was a fantastic stay, and I’d definitely come back!

Thank you Zach, we truly appreciate your feedback and are glad you enjoyed your stay!

Thank you Dominique, we truly appreciate your feedback!

Very charming place, walking distance to bars restaurants and  the beach.

Thank you Kiril, we truly appreciate your feedback. Thank you for choosing Casa Leona!

The villa is amazing. Danial was very responsive and communication was easy. Cleaners come every day and the villa is always clean.  The location is great. Beach and restaurants are only a 10-15 min walk. The stay was completely worth the price and I would highly recommend it. The only thing for us was that there was no hot water in any of the bathrooms attached to the rooms. When I reached out to Danial he mentioned it was in the description which is true, however I thought it wasn’t very clear. The one bathroom outside with hot water had almost no pressure, water was dripping so it was impossible to shower there. Otherwise everything was great and I would highly recommend the villa and the host.

Thank you Hasti, we truly appreciate your feedback. Thank you for choosing Casa Leona!

House has walking accessibility to many restaurants, shopping and beach. Rooms are very private, with locks and mini splits in each. Common area good as long as weather is nice.  Christmas thru New years very pricey, probably would not spend as much in hindsight. The showers and bathrooms are very nice in each bedroom just know its cold water only. There is a shower off pool that has hot water, it's just a walk thru common area and not as convenient.  Would suggest car rental, golf carts could feel less safe in such busy traffic. Overall, such a good country and thankful to have been able to visit!

Thank you Leslie, we truly appreciate your feedback and are glad you enjoyed your stay!

Casa Leona was an absolutely wonderful place!! Danielle was incredibly responsive and helpful.  She answered all our questions in a very timely manner and took care of SO many arrangements for us (booking a golf cart, reservations for dinner, recommendations, etc.) Geovanni and Alejandra and their "crew" were excellent - friendly, helpful, efficient and welcoming.   The house itself is beautiful.  The perfect atmosphere for gathering with family and relaxing.  The private pool inside the house was so nice to have and the outdoor shared pool was lovely.  The location of the house was perfect - just up the hill from downtown Tamarindo.  An easy walk - or, better yet - golf cart ride - to and from the house to restaurants, beaches, shops, etc.   What was so fantastic was that once back at the house, it was quiet and private although just a quick trip from town.  Would definitely return here!

Thank you Marjorie for your kind words. We hope to host you again in the future!

Our stay at this property was nothing short of amazing! It’s the perfect retreat for a large group, with a thoughtful layout that balances privacy and togetherness beautifully. Each guest can enjoy their own private quarters while the common areas are ideal for shared moments, laughter, and connection. My family and I had an unforgettable time here. The maid’s kindness and attention to detail made the space feel impeccably fresh and welcoming throughout our stay. The host was outstanding—communicative, attentive, and genuinely invested in making sure all our needs were met. We couldn’t have asked for a more incredible experience and are already looking forward to our next visit!

Thank you Phillip for your kind words. We hope to host you again in the future!

Beautiful house with very comfortable rooms and bathrooms, kitchen had everything you need, the host was very responsive and helpful with any queries, and location was great, very quiet, close to restaurants, supermarket and the beach!

We are glad you enjoyed your stay. Thank you for choosing Casa Leona!

Very cool spot. Private but easily walkable to downtown. Great pool. I’m not sure if it was mentioned in the description but only one bathroom had hot water. In the shower. It made it a little challenging since we were sharing the house with 3 other people. Otherwise we had a great time!

Thank you Hanna, we truly appreciate your feedback. Thank you for choosing Casa Leona.

Amazing place easy to get to everything. Very private for our group we stayed up playing music and bothered no one. She had beers for us, eggs, fruit. The security guard at the gate was great.

Very good place to stay, everything was impeccable!

Gracias Franco Enrique por tu comentario. Nos alegra que les haya gustado su estadía!

We had a great stay at Daniel’s place. Very clean, staff locally were super friendly and helpful. So nice having the private pool in the center of the home. Would definitely recommend this home!

Everyone from Daniels, door guy to the ladies that clean and make breakfast were so nice and helpful. Daniels had great recommendations that fit our needs, helped with transportation, she really went up and beyond.  They offer breakfast which was nice to have they even delivered it to Casa Leona I recommend La Tica(yum). Our first night there we had Sharon the chef come in and do a taco buffet it was close to $600 for 7 people. It was not worth the price for the cold beans with tostitos chips and fritos cheese dip app (I'm serious that's what we were served). There are so many restaurants close by you can grab great food for a third of the price. Walking distance to everything bank, grocery store, bars, restaurants, town.

We stayed at Danielle's place for a couple of nights with a group of 9 adults. It was the perfect set up with each room having its own bathroom and large bed. Everything was VERY clean, with plenty of toiletries and towels. Beds were comfortable for most of our group and the AC in each room worked very well. The cleaning staff and security guard at the entrance were very nice and helpful too! The kitchen was also well stocked and I think they even had drinks for us in the fridge when we arrived. The only "downside" to casa leona is the lack of hot water in the showers. Thankfully there is an extra shower with hot water by the pool, so we made it work  :) Would stay again!

This place was so cool. It’s a little compound and Danielle was so accommodating and helpful when things arose. She was very good at helping with booking putting etc. I would stay here every time I’m in Tamarindo.

Great place! I would definitely recommend!

We stayed for a bachelorette party. There were 7 of us and we had plenty of room inside the house. The pool is definitely the greatest part. Its private and right in the center of the house. The house itself sits inside a small community that is quiet and safe. We had the absolute best time and Daniels helped us with shuttles and a golfcart to get around town. Honestly you could walk to half the things you will need though. Great restaurants and night markets all around. 100 percent would recommend this place and would stay again !

Fantastic host! The area is wonderful as well…just like the description

This was by far the BEST Airbnb we have ever stayed in. The location, the vibe, everything was just perfect.

Great visit to Tamarindo! We dubbed Casa Leona the Melrose Place of Tamarindo since everyone in our traveling party had their own private space complete with bathroom on top of the shared living space. Evelyn was there to meet us and provided all the info we needed including that Tamarindo was having water supply issues - though that didn’t directly impact our stay at Leona. Terrific visit!

Our family had a beautiful and relaxing stay! Daniela was extremely helpful and communicative. Though located away from the bustle of Tamarindo, It was an easy and safe 5 minute walk to restaurants and shops. Our four kids (11-14) loved hanging out in the pool and the beautiful decor. Thank you!

Evelyn was great, helped us book a few tours before we arrived and saved us a little money! She was super helpful and the place looks just like the pictures.

Beautiful property. Was the perfect place for 5 couples - the pool was beautiful and we had great space for hanging out. Easy walk to the beach, grocery, restaurants and bars. Evelyn and Danielle were great - they set up excursions, airport transfers, and even a personal chef for dinner one night which was so nice. My only concern was the lack of hot water in the bathrooms attached to the bedrooms, but it’s so hot in Tamarindo that a cool shower felt good. The huge shared shower was great to use for shaving your legs and we didn’t have any issues with running out of hot water. Would love to stay here again in the future!

The Casa was perfect for us, 7 adults and 5 rooms with showers and air-conditioning. The kitchen is well-equipped with full-size stove and refrigerator.  The accommodation is self-contained with covered verandah surrounding the open-air pool, perfect for cooling off at the end of the day. Maid service was provided regularly. Overall we were very satisfied and any concerns were dealt with promptly.  We will recommend Casa Leona to others.  We had a very happy stay.

This place is straight out of a story tale. We loved our stay and would return to this home in a heartbeat. Everything about it is beautiful. We felt very safe. Evelyn and all the staff were very helpful.

Thank you Amy, we appreciate your review!

Beautiful home! Nice walk into town, plenty of bedrooms, gorgeous private pool in living space, air conditioned bedrooms, kind staff and very responsive host. Worth the splurge.

For a family with 8 adults and 2 small children the house worked out really well. When it was rainy we could stay dry and watch the weather from the living space. When it was hot we enjoyed the pool to cool off. The walk  to town and beach was short and everything we needed was nearby. Overall a great spot!

Casa Leona is beautiful!! I still can’t believe I was able to stay there. Giovani, Alejandra and Maricruz- the staff- were so helpful and kind! We walked to and from the Main Street and beach everyday- multiple times a day! Thank you Evelyn + staff for letting us stay and your beautiful house!

Thank you Victoria, you were a lovely guest!

Johani, the concierge and security guard was the best. Very helpful and friendly. He greeted us when we arrived and helped us get in, sort us out with bikes etc. We were great-full for his help. Nice place, quiet location, a short drive from the beach.

We had a marvelous stay! There were 10 of us and every couple had their own bedroom with a private bathroom with shower. The design of the house is awesome because everyone can hangout in the center of the house where the swimming pool is located. The kitchen is perfectly furnished with pots, pans, stove, and even a coffee maker and blender. We will definitely be back. Thank you Evelyn!

Thank you Delfino, we appreciate your review.

Casa Leona is so beautiful. I wish I could pick up the house and bring it back with me :). When we arrived, everything was very clean and had everything we needed. We were three families in total with 5 children. Every room has a private bathroom and shower which was wonderful, plus a shower in the courtyard area.  The courtyard and rustic style decor was my favorite. The location is a very easy walk from the beach and downtown. My six year old was able to do the walk easy. The road is quiet and residential. Just down the street, we were able to see howler monkeys in the trees! Another plus is the friendly security guard and cleaning staff. Overall, we had a wonderful stay and I would definitely recommend Casa Leona.

Thank you Monica, we appreciate your review.

Great place in an excellent location! I'd recommend getting golf carts, the walk to the beach and town center is doable, but in the heat it gets really exhausting. The golf carts make getting around Tamarindo so much quicker (and parking them is easier). All 5 bedrooms have AC which is really nice and attached bathrooms, however one bedroom has a bit of a weird bathroom setup with a closet door instead of a normal door that never fully closes. Only one bathroom has hot water, which is fine considering how hot it is in Tamarindo the cold showers are really refreshing. All the common spaces (living room, kitchen) are open air so its easy for bugs to get in - keeping the kitchen clean is key! Cleaning service comes in every other day, and the street is safe with plenty of other residences/airbnbs on the street. There's also a gate, and a watchmen so nobody in my group ever felt unsafe day or night.

Casa Leona was as beautiful and spacious as advertised.  Evelyn was always quick to respond and her staff were super pleasant and always helpful!  Walking distance to the beach, restaurants, shops and a grocery store 5 minute walk away!

Thank you for your review, we appreciate it!

Our stay was perfect, the rooms were bigger than expected and very comfy beds. The private pool was great too. The concierge service was incredible everyone was so helpful and made are stay very easy, Joseph and Danielle were more than happy to book multiple taxes for us with quick response and very polite. Highly recommend!

We had a lovely stay here. We had five adults and we were able to spread out and have our own room during our stay. The common areas were perfect for hanging out and cooking together in. The pool was nice to dip in after walking back from the beach or town. Most of us used the extra shower room with hot/warm water to shower, but the few that used their in room showers didn’t mind the cool water. The upstairs room got tons of sun in the morning, so put your early riser up there. We stayed in most nights because they place was a perfect escape.

Great stay. The house was very nice and a quick walk to the beach.

Very nice house, good location, delicious breakfast and the service girls are very nice.

Casa muy linda, bien ubicada, desayuno rico y las niñas del servicio muy agradables.

Amazing place! Joseph the host is amazing and very helpful!

The area is a perfect place to stay at. The community area is outside with a pool in the middle combined with covered areas (living area, eating area, and kitchen). Even though you're outside, you don't feel that way. Rooms are spread around the outside of the common area. The house is part of a larger compound with 2 (I think) other houses. It's just beautiful to stay on. The compound has 4 parking spots and a gated area. Always felt safe. It's walking distance to the village area and beach. Depending on where you want to go, the walk can range from 5-10 minutes. You can reach the beach within 5 minutes though. There's a grocery store & liqueur store nearby too. This AirBnb is ran by a crew of people. Joseph was the main person we worked with and he was beyond helpful. He was always quick to respond through the AirBnB messenger. They booked a restaurant reservation for us, and even grocery shopped for us before we got there. The crew will also clean your place if you put up a sign.

Fantastic home and location. Great for large groups. Everyone can have privacy and a great shared location around the pool.

Hello Aaron, thank you for the review. We appreciate it!

Beautiful place, clean and location was quiet. A 10-minute walk to the beach. PROS: private pool was a hit with the kids, there is a bathroom attached to each bedroom, great communication and cleaning staff CONS: No hot water except for the pool shower (which we got used to), no outdoor space or access to a grill - although the house is open air on the inside.

Hello Helen, Thank you for taking the time to right us a review. Access to grill is usually available upon request but unfortunately during your stay there was a reservation exclusively for that area. We hope you enjoyed your stay! Thank you.

We had a wonderful stay at Casa Leona. the space is beautiful, the art is a wonderful surprise, all of the rooms are wonderful with bathrooms (where do you get that?) I was a little worried about the only hot water in one bathroom but that was not a problem at all. We were able to walk all around Tamarindo from the house and Evelyn was very helpful with shuttles to airport, food at the house, excursions during the day and a breakfast cooked for us. I am a super host in Portland, OR and this place was perfect. Thank you!!

Hello Steph, Thank you for taking the time to right us a review. We are glad you enjoyed your stay! Thank you.

The airbnb was beautiful and exactly what my family and I needed - a getaway in Tamarindo close to shops and restaurants but far enough away to avoid traffic and noise. It was easily walkable for my siblings and I (we're all in our 30's & 40's) but it was a tad bit far for my dad to walk (early 70's). Joseph was helpful in booking our golf cart rental, the La Leona Waterfall Hike tour as well as the Paolo Verde river safari. I would highly recommend staying here! There were previous reviews of the showers not having hot water but there was one non-ensuite bathroom that did have hot water. We went grocery shopping and used the kitchen for coffee & breakfast but we ate the rest of our meals in town. There's a ton of great restaurants - L'estanco (The Hidden Garden) had the BEST ceviche and I know it doesn't seem like it but Chiquitas had great late night food. Everyone was patient, kind and accommodating!

Hello Christina, Thank you for taking the time to right us a review. We are glad you enjoyed your stay! Thank you.

Very beautiful and unique place. Great for big groups and great deal for the price. The location is really convenient for going into town and walking around. The staff and hosts were kind and welcoming. There are a few quirks - i.e. only one hot shower and the living area is all open air/open space around the pool but that gives it a bit of a unique charm as well.

Evelyn’s place was amazing. The rooms were perfect for our big group. We were greeted when we arrived and the staff was available anytime we needed them or had any questions. Amazing location!

This place is beautiful, very accurate to the pictures. It’s very close to the town center and beach, an easy walk or short drive. We split time between hanging out in the beautiful pool and also exploring Tamarindo. I was an extremely late booking and Evelyn was very accommodating of me and my group. There were some issues with a leak in the main house and she offered some alternate and additional rooms within the same property. I felt she went above and beyond to help answer questions and help best accommodate the big group size I had (11 adults + a baby). The property and additional properties are in their own “complex” that is gated so you feel very safe and have the benefit of some staff on site who were wonderful as well, Giovanni was especially helpful and was on hand for any questions or help. I will definitely plan to stay again and can’t recommend enough.

The home is beautiful! This was perfect for our group of all couples. The rooms are spacious and was great that each had its own bathroom. The staff on site were friendly and helpful. Everything was in walking distance, which was perfect. We would return!

Casa Leona was everything & more! Everything described was accurate. The location was far enough from crowds to have some privacy & still within walking distance to all the action. We basically lived in the awesome living room pool while at the house. The staff was super helpful. They even prepared a send off breakfast for our check out. I would definitely recommend staying here again, especially over a regular hotel. 5 out of 5 for adventurers Otra vez, gracias por todos!

The place is great.  It looks like the house from the movie Encanto.  Brad even helped with some car problems we had.  I would definitely stay there again.

Incredible. The house is about a half mile from the beach/town, which made it very private AND convenient. We went down to the beach twice a day and also swam in the two pools of the facility twice a day. The fully equipped kitchen and dining area meant we could cook whenever we wanted, and the convenience to so many good restaurants meant we could eat out whenever we wanted. Evenlyn and Brad are very knowledgable about opportunities in town and also the surrounding towns, and they also can arrange outings like hiking, scuba/snorkel, or fishing. The people working at the house are professional and also incredibly welcoming.

Excellent location and perfect for groups. We enjoyed our family vacation (10 people) with plenty of space for everyone. Short walk to town. The pool was an added bonus and really loved the open courtyard. We would stay here again eyes closed!

Evelyn’s place is exactly as described and pictured. Yes the place has cool running water, and two of us out of seven never quite got use to it, but do not let that discourage you in anyway from staying here or you will miss out. I would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend her place to anyone. From the moment I contacted Evelyn, her and her daughter Danielle were extremely helpful with booking the Airbnb, additional rooms for our party of 7 (who all wanted their own room), setting up transportation, planning excursions, private dinner, setting up our Covid test, etc. If you need more then the 5 bedrooms, ask Evelyn about additional options. There’s another house listed on Airbnb that is extremely nice and modern on the same grounds as Casa Leona. I recommend setting up most of your trip through Evelyn. I doubled checked on prices and almost every time it was cheaper to go through Evelyn. I recommend the private boat cruise through Evelyn, it was such a great experience and the host on the boat prepared a delicious meal on the cruise. We also had massages at the house which was very relaxing. If you have a long day of excursions planned, I recommend a private dinner set up by Evelyn. The food was delicious, it was my friend’s birthday and they surprised us with some extra stuff. Housekeepers were phenomenal. They went above and beyond. We appreciate everything they helped us out with. Our drivers they set us up with, especially Luis, were excellent. Recommendations when staying there. Bring plenty of mosquito spray, since it is Costa Rica and the majority of the house is outside. I also brought a citronella candle and an electric mosquito repeller. I did not get bit until my last day and half when I got lazy putting on mosquito repellent. Bring comfortable shoes that have a good grip. There are a lot of dirt roads with large pot holes, when it rains, the roads are muddy, and very slippery. I’d leave the heels, expensive shoes, uncomfortable shoes all at home. Not worth packing. My hiking style water shoes were the best for walking on those dirt/clay roads. I’d also recommend bringing a small flashlight when walking around the town. Some areas are poorly lit and you want to make sure you don’t step in a pot hole. The pool at the house is a plunge pool. After those steps, it’s deep. So if you don’t know how to swim stay out of it or wear a life jacket. My friends and I loved our stay at Casa Leona. Evelyn and her family went above and beyond and it was truly a great experience staying at their Airbnb.

Cute airbnb with a beautiful pool and common area. Facilities are just ok - had some issues with the toilet. The walk to the main street has a short dirt road.

Property was wonderful with minor issues that were fixed by the host however we had a horrible experience with the hosts. the actual property is gorgeous, each room has its own washroom and the outdoor courtyard living area and pool are wonderful. The minor issues we had were the ac of the master room was dripping a lot of water and we had to put a bucket under it. There was also no hot water for the showers and surprisingly none of the other reviews mentioned this. It was hot the days we stayed there so we didn't mind it. A few google reviews for Casa Leona did mention this so it was even more surprising that none of the reviews on Airbnb mentioned this. As said before the property was wonderful but the hosts themselves were a nightmare to deal with. We booked the property and told the host we had a dog to which they agreed. They mentioned the dog should not be allowed on the bed and couches to which we agreed. On the morning of our second day we get a visit from the owner Brad. He says that the maids told him the door in the master room was scratched and he was blaming our dog for it. He was very rude about it and said we would need to pay for the damages. We explained to him that the dog was never left in that room alone but he was not having it and started to raise his voice and use terms like "You People" . He did calm down and mentioned that we would not be charged as we explained to him that our dog is a therapy dog and very well trained. After this incident we took a look at the other doors of the house and 2 of the remaining 3 doors had scratches on them and our dog had never even been in these rooms. We tried to contact the owners to show them these scratches but they didn't really get back to us before we vacated the property. After checking out we get a 500$ charge for scratches on the door and cleaning the couch. We went back to talk to the owners. This time we dealt with Evenlyn and she insisted that it was our dog that scratched all 3 doors in the 1 day that we were there. We tried to explain to here that the dog was not even in 2 of the rooms but had no luck. She then mentioned that if the dog didn't do it then perhaps it was our 2 year old toddler that did it. We told her when we took possession of the property to that 2 small dogs were in the house. However she told us that those were her dogs and were very well behaved and would never do that. Also the couch they want the cleaning fee for was under the ac that was leaking. It got a little wet before we put a bucket under it. when we emptied the bucket the next day there was almost 1L of water in it. It's likely they want to replace the couch as it got damaged and are using the excuse of cleaning the couch to get some money from us. In summary, beautiful house and rooms however interacting with the owners was the worst experience we have had when using Airbnb. You can find much better rentals in Costa Rica. if you do decide to stay here make sure you check and document everything when taking possession of the house or you could possibly be blamed for damages you never caused.

Hello Brendon, thank you for taking the time to write us a review.  Most reviews don't mention the house not having hot water, because usually on a listing with hot water it will say so, our listing does not show this amenities. (However it is available starting June).  We don't need to 'get money' from our clients. We, including our dogs, don't live at the property; we were there to check you in. The doors were scratched by a large dog, as the scratches went very high - doorknob level. The charges for the sofa were not because it was wet, it was to professionally clean the dog hair as we don't want to cause allergies on future clients. We had agreed on this last issue on person when your group came back to talk to us. We left Airbnb to determine the door issue.  Unfortunately the disrespectful text messages to my daughter weren't nice at all and left us vey disappointed as this is our second situation like this, and our first was managed very well.   Thank you for the review.

This is such an amazing space! The layout is perfect for a group of couples that are traveling together. The ample living room and kitchen area are adjacent to the pool and the entire flow is relaxing. The security of the property was great as was the staff we encountered. Geovanny was especially helpful and we all felt that our expectations were exceeded in every way

Beautiful place. Off the main drag about 8 minutes walk giving you a much more relaxed feel when returning which was welcome. Beautiful place, big rooms. I’d recommend to anyone

Everything at Casa Leona was fantastic! Just a short walk to town, the house itself is so peaceful and well-kept. The staff onsite was incredibly hospitable and we had everything we needed for an enjoyable stay.

The house was wonderfully appointed and had all that you needed. Loved the openness as with a larger group ( we were 8 adults) you never felt like you were crowded or on top of one another. Having the pool in the center of the house was great. Lots of evening swims! I would recommend this home for groups of 8-10. There are three huge bedrooms on the main level, a medium sized bedroom on the main level and then in the “princess” tower there is a modestly sized bedroom upstairs. The home is decorated to be comfortable and functional. Lots of seating throughout the home. It is especially nice with the layout as you can have people in various areas but still be together. Loved the beach. Is is about a 5-10 walk to the beach and restaurants. Bring comfortable walking shoes as they are dirt roads but this is very common in Costa Rica and to be honest better than being paved as it would make it that much hotter. The beaches there change from sun and surfing to happy hour and fire performers along the beach. Loved to watch the silhouettes of the surfers getting out of the ocean while the sun set. Would recommend Evelyn and their home and hope to come back for a family vacation with our daughters.

The house was fantastic. It was super cute, the pool was great to cool off in because of the heat. Super close to town.

100% recommended stay. The amenities and house configuration are ideal for big groups to enjoy max privacy and comfort. Will stay here again for sure!

Superb location and  Casa Leona’s host, Danielle and staff, made the difference for an awesome vacation.

Loved it! Great location and place. Highly recommend

Casa Leona was a great place to stay.   The location was perfect. The house was clean.  Not sure I ever got used to the cool showers but nevertheless it was a wonderful experience.  We had 9 adults and had plenty of room.  We took advantage of the bikes and surf boards.   And to top off the experience was working with Danielle.   She was an absolute pleasure to work with.   So helpful in planning our transportation an scheduling our Covid test for 9 people.  We will definitely be back.   Thank you for making our vacation one to remember.

Could not have asked for a better host and experience!  Costa Rica has amazing people, amazing atmosphere and Casa Leona gives you a great place to land after spending a day on the beach or on tour.  They made it all so easy to relax and really enjoy our time in Costa Rica and we will definitely go back.

House and location was amazing.  Was perfect for our group of 10.  Loved that we could walk to beach, restaurants, and shops.

Amazing stay! Great host and even better service! Free cleaning laundry and everything! Loved it! Would be happy to come back next time!

This place was awesome! Great location not too far from the beach, you just have to be okay with waking up hill a little bit. You can also rent golf carts too. The house was clean and they provided cleaning everyday if you wanted it. The only thing is there is no hot water which really sucked for us because we had someone get sick and all he wanted was a hot shower. We enjoyed the sunset boat tour the best. It’s a must. All around amazing place to spend time with your family or friends:) The host were also very friendly and made us feel welcomed.
