Modern Home 3BR and private pool - Houses for Rent in Tamarindo, Guanacaste Province, Costa Rica

Beautiful, well-located place, not too far from restaurants and the beach on foot! Very functional kitchen!

Bel endroit bien situé pas trop loin des restos et de la plage à pied ! Cuisine très fonctionnelle !

Casa Barcelona was our home away from home. Spacious home that accommodated 8 people easily. Master bedroom was larger than expected with a private space to suntan right off the room. 2 smaller bedroom rooms accommodated 3 people per room without any issue and had bathrooms within the each room. Kitchen was well equipped and a large island was helpful during meal prep. What drew us to Casa Barcelona was the beautiful pool in the well kept backyard. The photo didn’t disappoint and the backyard became the centrepiece of our stay. It was well used daily and nightly by everyone. During our stay, the pool light popped out. We called Yira right away and within 24 hours the light was fixed.

Yira was a great host and very kind! She arranged transportation for us to and from the airport and the house was great as well. Walkable to the beach and in a quiet neighborhood. Would definitely recommend booking this place! :)

We had a great stay at Casa Barcelona. Had 3 adults and 3 - 16 year old boys. Great location for walking to the beaches, restaurants and bars. The pool was amazing. Place looked just like the pictures and really was a great find.

This house is awesome! Great for my girls trip! Yira was an excellent host and fantastic communicator. House was very clean and well kept. We would definitely recommend this location!!

Great place. Great for a family of five or 6 :)

Yira's AirBnB is 100% as awesome as the listing presents. Fantastic home, very private with downtown Tamarindo a few minutes walk away. The pool is perfect, the AC works well, feels secure and private. We look forward to coming back.

Home was spacious with 3 bedrooms (with ensuite’s) . kitchen was well equipped and home was about 15 min walking distance to the beach and many good restaurants. Pool and outdoor space were amazing. Rooms were clean and on site laundry was nice. Patio furniture in the living room was adequate but not that comfortable for seating. Some maintenance is needed for water leaking issues but they were addressed with the host and compensation was provided for any inconvenience . Ants also appeared to be a problem in the kitchen and bathrooms . we advised the host and suggested traps for any further problems. Great , quiet location is only 5 min walk to a grocery store and other amenities. Due to Costa Rica’s heat - highly recommend renting a golf cart to get around. Host was very responsive to any questions or concerns . Wonderful vacation location.

We had a fabulous stay at this lovely home in tamarindo! Thank you!

Yira responded to all messages very quickly. The house was perfect for 3 couples as we all had our own bedroom and bathroom. It was great having a pool as the weather in Tamarindo was very hot. There were some issues with the pool filtration initially, but Yira organized a pool maintenance person to come by quickly. Lots of linens and towels and a washer and dryer available for guest use. Kitchen is well equipped. I might suggest a kettle be added to the amenity list. Property is quite lovely, with a few small quick fixes (burnt out bulbs and some small water leaks) that were communicated to the host on departure. Overall a great stay and would recommend!

Yira, Thank you, for our lovely stay in Casa Barcelona. The location is close and within an easy five minute walk into Tamarindo. Next time, we’ll take a taxi or shuttle into Tamarindo rather than renting a vehicle as there is so much to do all within walking distance, (and if one wanted to explore more of Costa Rica, there are car rentals in Tamarindo. We have stayed in many ABNB homes, and yours ranks right up w/the best of them. It was nicely stocked with ample toilet paper, laundry detergent, and soaps. The kitchen had all we needed: a sharp knife set, pots & pans, serving bowls, storage containers & baskets for tidy storage of dried goods & fruit. Everything was clean, and inviting, and your communication was excellent. Bonus items: washer & dryer, the two boogie boards, ample beach towels, and bbq. I do recommend giving written directions to CB as without gps, it’s a bit tricky to find for the first time. Thanks again for the amazing accommodations. Susan

Yira, very available host. The house is well located and plenty of space for 6 people. The only negative comment, the living room furniture is not comfortable.

Yira, hôte très disponible. La maison elle est bien située et amplement de place pour 6 personnes. Le seul commentaire négatif, le mobilier du salon n’est pas confortable.

Amazing stay! Convenient location and great home. Had a lot of beds and was comfortable for my group of 7.

We had a wonderful stay at this property. Yira was very attentive and helpful. We enjoyed the pool and the lush backyard. The beach, many restaurants, grocery stores and other shops were within easy walking distance and we always felt safe walking around the property. Overall was a great value.

Beautiful house, very functional, very large bedrooms, very comfortable beds. Very well equipped kitchen, outdoor patio table perfect for outdoor dining. My spouse loved the propane BBQ. Very nice outdoor layout. We walked (5 minutes from the accommodation) to the Thursday night market, it's worth a visit. Yira responds to questions quickly, she is very proactive. Well-located house, 5 minutes by car from the beach. We absolutely loved our stay .

Superbe maison , très fonctionnelle , très grandes chambres , lits très confortables . Cuisine très bien équipé, table patio extérieur parfait pour manger à l’extérieur. Mon conjoint a adoré le BBQ au propane . Très belle aménagement extérieur . Nous avons été à pied (5 minutes du logement ) au night-market du jeudi , ça vaut le détour . Yira répond rapidement aux questions elle est très proactive. Maison bien situé, à 5 minutes en auto de la plage . Nous avons adoré notre séjour .

Yira is an excellent host and very responsive, thorough and kind.  She even checked on our shuttle.  The house is very clean and lots of supplies available such as detergent and cleaning supplies.  The pool was great!

Lovely home! Perfect distance from town to be quiet but still close. Yira is very responsive!

Don’t pay attention to any negative reviews — this place is wonderful. The location is quiet yet very close to town, and it’s only a short walk to the beach and restaurants. The house looks exactly like the photos. While a few minor updates could be made, nothing affects the stay or the overall experience. The pool is perfect for morning swims, and the house has everything a family needs. We were a group of 7 (including 3 kids), and everyone slept comfortably. It also felt very safe. Yira was incredibly responsive and quick to answer any questions we had. Highly recommend!

The house is very spacious, there were 8 of us and it accommodated us super well! Everything is very clean, very beautiful, new, working perfectly! Super well equipped, we made barbecue, hamburger! Close to downtown, we walked there every day to eat. I highly recommend it!

A casa é bem espaçosa, estávamos em 8 e comportou super bem! Tudo muito limpo, muito bonito, novo, funcionando perfeitamente! Super bem equipada, fizemos churrasco, hambúrguer! Perto do centrinho, fomos a pé todos os dias até lá para comer. Super indico!

We enjoyed our stay at Yira’s place for our girls trip to Tamarindo.  It was walkable to everything and so convenient.

Yira’s place looked just like the pictures and everything was as described. Yira was very nice and helpful. We stayed here for my bachelorette. My bridesmaids contacted her and she helped them get in contact with a local business decorator and local driver. Everything turned out great and I had an amazing time staying here!

Group of 7 women on a girls trip to Costa. We had a great time, Yira our host was wonderful and the town is easy to get around in rented golf carts or Ubers. The house was big enough for us and had a great outdoor patio with pool. We even saw a troop of monkeys from the patio and heard them howling at sun rise. Great place!

Casa Barcelona was a great place to stay on a friends reunion trip! Great pool and common spaces and comfortable sleeping arrangements for 5-7 people. Solid location, about a 10 minute walk from central tamarindo/beach.

Everything was good, the house was very nice

This house and host were amazing. Traveling abroad can sometimes be stressful but the host had everything we needed and helped us with local suggestions and connections. Having a private pool and a space big enough for everyone to have fun and feel at home was the cherry on top. I would recommend highly to anyone traveling to Tamarindo.

Great location. Was walkable to everywhere but also just far enough to be quieter. Yard is beautiful and the perfect little oasis with the pool. Perfect place for families and felt like our home right away. Thanks Yira for being a great host and for sharing your piece of paradise with us.

Thank you Yira! Your home is awesome! As advertised and you can beat the location. Great experience! Get it if it’s available. You won’t be disappointed!!

The house is perfect! We were eight people from the same family: three children, three adults, and two grandparents. It was a great place. Close to everything, but quiet. The rooms are comfortable, the pool is beautiful, everything is there to make the most of it. The house is a 10 minute walk from Tamarindo's action, next to a grocery store and services. We drove to the beach to help my parents, but it can be done on foot for those who are not afraid of the sun. Yira is an exceptional host, she answered any questions we had, she made sure the house was still in good condition. On the evening of our arrival, she made sure we had everything we needed. She even opened the lights to make us feel welcome. This is a place you won't regret renting!

La maison est parfaite ! Nous étions huit personnes d’une même famille: trois enfants, trois adultes et deux grands-parents. C’était un endroit idéal. Près de tout, mais calme. Les chambres sont confortables, la piscine est magnifique, tout est là pour qu’on profite au maximum. La maison est à 10 minutes de marche de l’action de Tamarindo, à côté d’une épicerie et des services. On s’est déplacé à la plage en voiture pour aider mes parents, mais c’est faisable à pieds pour ceux qui ne craignent pas le soleil. Yira est une hôte exceptionnelle, elle a répondu à toutes nos questions, elle s’est assuré que la maison soit toujours en état. Le soir de notre arrivée elle s’est assuré qu’on avait tout ce dont on avait besoin. Elle a même ouvert les lumières pour qu’on se sentent accueillis. C’est un endroit que vous ne regretterez pas de louer !

Great stay! Everything was beautiful and awesome.

Great stay and convenient location! The house was comfortable and had everything we needed. Pool was amazing and the house is walking distance to the town with tons of restaurants and the beach.

We had a great stay at Yira’s house. She was very responsive and attentive to our needs. We had two minor maintainence issues and she responded right away and sent her crew as soon as possible. We found the garden doors to the pool from the living room difficult to open and close, but the grounds and pool were beautiful, and quiet. The walk to town is 5-10 minutes. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay with 3 couples. We enjoyed the pool each day and everything the town had to offer!

Our group of 7 had a great time! Loved the outdoor space and location to downtown!

The house is stuning, more spacious than on the photos.  The pool is amazing. Plenty of towels, which is really appreciated.  Would stay again.

Yira was an outstanding host. She helped us every step we f the way. From figuring out transfers to and from the airport to dining recommendations and more. Her home is just as the photos show. Warm open lots of light and great gathering areas. We loved the kitchen and all the amenities. The outside pool area and a spectacular. It’s like a private oasis. She has plenty of beach towels and all other things you need. The location is great. Several coffee shops close by with lots of restaurants with easy beach access. If we ever decide to return to Tamarindo we will book Yaris place again. Definite 5 stars.

Beautiful spacious home close to all the action!  This home was perfect for our family of five, well-stocked with everything we needed and Yira is a very responsive host.  We really enjoyed the pool area and easy walk to restaurants and the beach.  We would highly recommend this home.

This was a perfect spot for us! It was very walkable to the beach and so many restaurants. Yira was an incredible host and we’d absolutely love to be back some day!!

An exceptional stay! The accommodation was even better than in the photos: impeccably clean, tastefully decorated and incredibly comfortable. The host was remarkably kind and available, always ready to meet my needs. The location is perfect, quiet while being close to everything you need. It was a real favorite, and I can only recommend this place 100%. Can't wait to come back!

Un séjour exceptionnel ! Le logement était encore mieux que sur les photos : impeccablement propre, décoré avec goût et incroyablement confortable. L’hôte a été d’une gentillesse et d’une disponibilité remarquables, toujours prêt à répondre à mes besoins. L’emplacement est parfait, calme tout en étant proche de tout ce qu’il faut. C’était un vrai coup de cœur, et je ne peux que recommander cette adresse à 100 %. J’ai hâte d’y revenir !

Casa Barcelona offers good value with a clean, secure environment. Each bedroom comes with its own bath and shower, and the air conditioning is both quiet and individually controlled, ensuring a comfortable stay. While the property generally matches the photos, there is some wear not immediately apparent. It's a short 10-minute walk to the town and beach, but the lack of sidewalks makes the walk feel a bit unsafe at times. The internet connection was spotty, which was inconvenient. Additionally, the toilets sometimes had trouble refilling after flushing, requiring manual intervention. While the host was helpful, responses were slow at times, taking several hours. The kitchen is well-stocked, and pool towels were provided, but there were no couch blankets for extra comfort. Some board games or cards would have been a nice addition. Overall, Casa Barcelona is a solid choice for its value, but there are a few areas that could be improved for a truly 5-star experience.

Yira gave us a great welcome. Lots of functionality and very clean place. Safe neighborhood 10 min walk to the beach. We were 2 families with 5 children in total so we greatly appreciated the 3 full bathrooms and the privacy from the top for a family.

Yira nous a  fait un superbe accueil. Beaucoup de fonctionnalité et endroit très propre. Quartier sécuritaire à 10 min à pied la plage. Nous étions 2 familles avec 5 enfants au total alors nous avons grandement apprécié les 3 salles de bains complètes et l'intimité du haut pour un famille.

Yiri was a great host. The home was amazing and comfortably suited all of us that gave us plenty of space that is close in a walking/driving distance to tamarindo. Great place, great host, and overall great experience!!!

Yira’s place was our favourite on our trip (two other similar places).  It was quaint but very functional.  Two of us enjoyed our morning coffee/swim in the lovely pool.  A evening swim or two happened under the stars.  Highly recommended!!

Yira’s home was impeccable! Much larger and nicer than the photos. We (2 adults, 3 teenagers) loved the privacy of the pool, yard and master bedroom balcony. Easy walking distance to shops, restaurants and the beach. Super close to the Thursday Night Market and highly recommend El Moro down the road for dinner. Incredible, comfortable bedrooms—all with en suite bathrooms & an additional half bath. We would definitely stay here again when visiting Tamarindo, a gorgeous property.

Casa Barcelona is a good value. Each bedroom has it's own bath and shower, the air conditioning in each room is quiet and individually controlled,. The home is well stocked with towels, kitchenware, etc. The rooms are as pictured and spacious, though there is some wear not evident in the pictures.  It's just a 10 min walk to town/beach, but there are no sidewalks, which makes the walk either somewhat challenging as you find a path just off the road or dangerous if you choose the road. We were there at the beginning of the rainy season and the street outside the home became a river of mud when it poured. The dryer broke the day before our stay and this was not communicated to us, however Yira arranged to have it picked up and done for us. The coffee maker was also broken. Yira had a new one delivered the next day. We were told the pool would be cleaned of leaves the first morning of our stay, but it didn't happen over the 4 days of our stay.  Overall, good value, but not a five star.

Our stay was wonderful! It's nice to have AC and a pool when staying in Costa Rica. Our host was very responsive and kind while introducing us to the space. I would recommend this place to anyone. It's a bit off the beaten path from Tamarindo proper, so definitely plan on having good transport from this place, whether by rental car or motorcycle rental.

Beautiful house, even better than the photos. We stayed here as a group of 7 and had a great time using the pool, kitchen and washing machines. The house was spotless and we had a great check in experience with Yira being there in person. Location was good, we walked to the beach and restaurants every day, it’s also near grocery stores and souvenir stores.

We had a great time staying at Yira’s beautiful home in Tamarindo. It was a great location in walkable distance to the downtown area and beach, the pool was in great condition, and inside was clean with wonderful AC. Yira was very responsive and clear with all check in and out instructions. I would recommend to stay here while in Tamarindo!

Great stay in a great villa, wonderful time and the pool is bigger than it seems in pictures.

House was exactly as pictured, the pool was lovely. Everything was comfortable and we enjoyed our stay. Thank you Yira, it was nice to meet you.

Yira's place was perfect. It had this great mix of privacy but near to everything. We felt secluded in our little Oasis but were close enough to walk to restaurants, beaches, groceries, stores,etc. There was plenty of room for our family of five. The kitchen had what we needed. Plenty of linen, including beach towels. The pool was always warm. We ate all our meals outside. The AC was at a perfect temperature. Beautiful decor. Yira was the most responsive host we've had yet. She would respond within 15min if not within 5min after sending her a message. I'd 100% stay here again.

We had a lovely stay in Tamarindo! Would highly recommend Yira's place and would rebook!

The house was very nice and the location is amazing. We did pay for a house with a pool and it was unusable the entire stay.  It  had been windy and we could have dealt with the debris  the issue was the water was so dirty, cloudy and green that it seemed unsafe to use. The pool person didn’t come until a couple days into our stay and it didn’t make a difference. We contacted Yira and she said she would get the pool person again but we never seen him and never heard from her before we left - a little disappointing as it was a big reason for booking the house. Aside from the pool the house is very nice, clean and would have been a five star stay.

Our stay at Casa Barcelona was exceptional.  We loved having the pool to relax in after a day out. We had plenty of room for a group of six( 3 couples) and loved having both an indoor and outdoor dining table.  The beds were comfortable and it was great to have laundry on site.  Yira was lovely and accommodated us at every turn.  Thank you!

The place was beautiful with everything we needed.  Close to restaurants and the beach. We rented golf carts but definitely walkable.  Would stay there again if we end up back in Tamarindo.  Yira was there to greet us when we arrived and answered all texts immediately if we had questions.

Loved the house for our three small families. Clean, beautiful, great pool. Yira was very responsive and helpful. As others recommended, a gold cart was good to have to transport the children and older folks to and from the beach. We are returning!

House was as expected, clean and helpful check in by the host. We timed our visit with a festival and was extremely noisy overnight  - a shame and perhaps unfortunate timing - something to look out for if guests are planning to stay here.

Great house! We enjoyed the pool area a lot and the house is very conveniently located to the shops, restaurants and beaches. Highly recommend!

Casa Barcelona was wonderful! The house was gorgeous, outdoor space was perfect for our family, and it’s walkable (at least in the evening when the sun isn’t beating on you!). Yira was responsive and so friendly.

Within walking distance to all the action you need!

À quelques minutes à pied de toute l’action qu’il vous faudra!

Let me start by saying Yira was amazing - she was super responsive and helpful with anything we needed. The house itself is very nice, but the outside is in need of cleaning and maintenance. The pictures of the inside are spot on - but not the outside. Two of the three private balconies attached to the rooms were unusable, overgrown with vegetation and overall dirty. That was one of the things we were looking forward to the most - having our own private spaces since there were three couples that went on our trip and some space and privacy would have been great. We did not know the spaces were unusable (actually the sliding doors were padlocked so we couldn't even get outside though them) until we arrived. The vegetation around the pool is beautiful but needs cleaned up as we were constantly cleaning the pool of debris. The pool is AWESOME! Great way to cool off in the Costa Rican heat. Overall I would recommend this property as it is nice, but maintenance does need to occur.

Yira was very welcoming. Great location, easily walkable to beach and downtown Tamarindo. Very comfortable and clean bedrooms and bathrooms. We loved it!

We stay about seven days.  my girls love the pool.  it’s quiet,  is peaceful it’s private, clean, nice and comfortable . close enough but far away from the Tamarindo noises. I had a great experience. The host was very responsive and we’re very happy with our stay.

Yira, was such a hospitable host! She met us at the house when we arrived, told us everything we needed to know about the house and even gave us great recommendations for things to do and places to eat downtown. The house was in immaculate condition. It was pure luxury! The garden and the pool were beautiful and well maintained. Downtown was very walkable and full of fun shops and restaurants. We felt very safe and happy at this beautiful house and will probably be back next time we’re in Costa Rica!

Yira was great. She met us at the place and showed us around the house. She made sure we didn’t need anything else before leaving. She gave us suggestions for restaurants and was very responsive when I sent her messages. I liked that the location was close enough to walk to the beach. It’s a nice place to stay if you don’t have a car

The pictures don’t do it justice! Perfect for our girls trip 💗

The house was beautiful, we enjoyed our stay. House was literally 10 minutes from down town. I recommend renting the golf card to drive around and try the chiliguaro at the bars… go visit Carlos at Portofino, he is amazing!  Drive to Langosta beach right next to tamarindo beach. Overall we enjoyed our week!

What an absolutely lovely time at Casa Barcelona! Yira was an amazing host who was always extremely responsive and helpful with any questions. The house is perfectly tucked away with close walking access to all Tamarindo has to offer. Would recommend staying here for any group trip! Thanks Yira

Wonderful house, very tidy and clean with nice pool. Safe by an extra gate that can be closed off. Walking distance to restaurants, supermarket etc in Tamarindo. Tamarindo is quite touristy but also offers a lot of options in terms of excursions. Beaches etc. are therefore busier. Excellent stay had.

Prachtig huis, zeer netjes en schoon met mooi zwembad. Veilig door extra poort die af te sluiten is. Op loopafstand van restaurants, supermarkt etc in Tamarindo. Tamarindo is behoorlijk toeristisch maar biedt daardoor ook veel mogelijkheden qua uitstapjes. Stranden etc zijn daardoor wel drukker. Prima verblijf gehad.

House was clean and organized. Great location, was a 10-15min walk to the beach. You can rent golf carts closer to the main area of the town for 60 dollars a day. House was spacious, each room has their own bathroom. The Airbnb comes very well equipped with kitchen supplies, beach towels, toilet paper and extra bath towels. Yira the host is incredibly responsive and provided us with a nice tour of the home when we arrived. She was super helpful with setting up last minute transportation from the airport for one of our guests. I highly recommend noguis for dinner on the beach. Volcano brewery also is a must with a nice selection of beers and beach views. Overall our group had a fantastic stay at Casa Barcelona.

Wonderful stay.  Beautiful home.  Quiet, private location.  We will be back.

beautiful home great location wonderful host

Yira’s place was perfect for our family of 4.  We have 2 young adult children and it was great for everyone to have their own room and bathroom.  We loved having the pool to cool off in the afternoons and escape the sun for a bit.  No fault of the owner but if you park a car in the garage, don’t forget to lock it.  We left one evening and forgot and someone climbed the glass lined wall and entered the garage and stole the potable GPS system out of the car.  Fortunately that’s all they took.  We didn’t think of it as it was inside the garage and security system set for the house.

We are a family of 6 and we had more than enough room… the house was beautiful and just like the pictures! Clean, comfortable and stocked with enough towels and kitchen amenities. No problems at all. Yira was very responsive and helpful in setting up a last minute shuttle to pick up some family from the airport and recommending things in the area. The house is in a great location not too far from the town but far enough not to be in the traffic and have the quietness in your own backyard while enjoying the pool. We hope to stay here again when back in Tamarindo.

Very Happy with everything . The house and  the area and all we need inside the house 5 stars place.

Highly recommend! Beautiful, peaceful, private home with a nice pool in the backyard. Yira is a great host & super responsive. Great option for anyone vacationing in Tamarindo.

Yira was an excellent host, very kind and nice. The house is excellent, very well located in a quiet neighborhood, close to everything and has all the comforts for a fantastic vacation. Highly recommended and hopefully we can come back in the future.

Yira fue una excelente anfitriona, muy amable y simpática. La casa está excelente, muy bien ubicada en un barrio tranquilo, cerca de todo y tiene todas las comodidades para unas vacaciones fantásticas. Muy recomendable y ojalá podamos volver en el futuro.

The house is very good despite some defects. We were 6 adults and a baby and the house had plenty of space for everyone. We very much appreciated the courtyard with the pool especially with a baby and the scorching heat that prevailed during our stay. The vegetation is beautiful. I don't give a 5-star rating because during our stay there was a stave from the toilet that stanked the downstairs rooms. It was very unpleasant. The septic tank was emptied a few days after our arrival but the problem persisted. Also, we had to wash our dishes by hand because the dishwasher does not wash very well and the plates are all too large, thus blocking the dishwasher mechanism. This house would be perfect with a little more cleaning. Yira was very helpful in agreeing to arrange transportation from the airport to the house as well as on the return.

La maison est très bien malgré quelques défauts. Nous étions 6 adultes et un bébé et la maison offrait amplement d’espace pour tous. Nous avons beaucoup apprécié la cour avec la piscine surtout avec un bébé et la chaleur torride qui prévalait lors de notre séjour. La végétation y est magnifique. Je n’accorde pas un 5 étoiles car, lors de notre séjour, il y avait une puanteur qui se dégageait des toilettes et qui empestait les chambres du bas. C’était très désagréable. La fosse septique a été vidée quelques jours après notre arrivée mais le problème a persisté. Aussi, nous avons dû laver notre vaisselle à la main car le lave vaisselle ne lave pas très bien et les assiettes sont toutes trop grandes bloquant ainsi le mécanisme du lave vaisselle. Cette maison serait parfaite avec un peu plus d’entretien. Yira a été très serviable en acceptant de nous organiser le transport de l’aéroport à la maison ainsi qu’au retour.

Great location and beautiful home-even better than photos. Yira was super helpful and responsive!

The place was everything advertised and more.  The surroundings was so peaceful.  A very non threatening environment.  Easy to walk to the grocery store and restaurants.  Thanks Yira for the recommendation.

We had a fabulous stay at Yira's house! We were 2 families with 2 toddlers and we had lots of space and a beautiful pool to enjoy. We liked that the house was in a quieter neighbourhood, yet walkable to the main area of town within 15 minutes. Although it might not be the most baby proof house, everything was quite open so it made it easy for us to keep an eye on our little ones without stress. Not only was the home beautiful, but Yira was super responsive when we had some internet and water issues (due to construction near by), and was able to have someone in and have everything up and running again quickly. She was kind, communicative and flexible with our needs as well! And such a plus that we had the house cleaned mid way through our stay. We would definitely recommend Yira's home to others and visit again!

Had a girls trip to Costa Rica and Yira’s place was stunning, beautiful, and peaceful. Yira worked with us to be able to check in early, pay a head of time,  and even dropped off two bottles of wine when she found out this trip was to celebrate me graduating w/ my masters. Very understanding and amazing. Home was perfect and in a great area to visit different restaurants and places. Please check out La Bodega for breakfast/lunch and set up excursions w/ Rich. Tell him the spice girls sent you!!!!

Casa Barcelona was a truly perfect accommodation and one that enhanced our overall stay in CR! Firstly, the location itself is so ideal, five min walk to the grocery store, pharmacy, local delicious restaurants and maybe a 7-8min walk to the nearest beach. There are two additional stunning beaches about a twenty min drive from Yiras place - Playa Conchal and Avellana (recommend visiting both!). Secondly, the house is STUNNING! The pool outside the ultimate vacation vibe, and definitely a great backdrop for pics! Lastly, Yira is incredibly responsive, and gave us so many amazing local recommendations for food, activities, and entertainment. She made us feel so at home, we will definitely be coming back to CR and will book Casa Barcelona again. Thanks Yira!!!

Yira went above & beyond to make the stay wonderful. She welcomed us at check in & provided recommendations for local restaurants.  We had an issue with the AC and she immediately sent someone out to fix it. We will absolutely stay here again!

Yira and the cleaning staff were highly responsive. The walks out to the wildlife to see monkeys and for lunch at Vegan Hotel were special. I suggest beach in front of Cala Luna for beautiful wildlife, shade and exploring - not for swimming. Loved Dragonfly and Suiza Capitan on Langosta beach. Pool is nice for shade and quiet time. Wind blowing a lot of stuff in pool. Costa Rica Nature.

Very nice and spacious house: however, the pool was not very  clean because of the flora nearby: a shame!

Maison très agréable et spacieuse : cependant la piscine n’était pas très  propre à cause de la flore s’y trouvant à proximité : dommage !

We were a group of five ladies.  The house was perfect for us.  We walked to the beach most days.  We had a few great days by the pool also.  The backyard was stunning.  Yira was very helpful and responded quickly if we had questions.  She also helped us book a shuttle to and from the airport.  She is very friendly and helpful. The house was stunning and perfect for us.

The house is spacious and has everything you need. It's nice to be out of town. However, it is important to note a good 20 minutes walk to the beach. Yira is always available to answer our questions. We are very satisfied.

La maison est spacieuse et offre tout le nécessaire. Il est agréable de se retrouver en dehors de l'action de la ville. Cependant, il faut noter un bon 20 minutes de marche pour aller à la plage. Yira est toujours disponible pour répondre à nos questions. Nous sommes très satisfaits.

This house was perfect for our visit to Tamarindo. It's close enough to town to walk to restaurants, shops and the beach. The kids loved the pool.

Nice place that's great for couples or groups. Having access to a pool in CR is a must.

Great place for a small group. Close to town. 10 minute walk to beach Host is quick to respond. Available on what’s app.

This is a great, beautiful house to spend either just a few days or for a long stay in Tamarindo. The mood is perfect, the rooms  are very well arranged (we were 8) and the service areas are well equipped. It has all you need for your vacations.

Very nice house and relatively close to downtown Tamarindo (about 1km). One point to indicate is that the house only has a small parking lot; although you can also leave the cars on the street in front of the house. Very well equipped kitchen with basic condiments, terrace with charcoal grill. It also has a dishwasher and a clothes washer and dryer; as well as cleaning products. Bath towels as well as pool towels are available. Very good internet and excellent communication with the host, always accessible and very friendly.

Casa muy agradable y relativamente cerca del centro de Tamarindo (alrededor de 1km). Un punto a indicar es que la casa solo cuenta con un pequeño parqueo; aunque también se pueden dejar los carros en la calle frente a la casa. Cocina muy bien equipada y con condimentos básicos, terraza con parrilla de carbón. Tiene también una lavadora de platos y lavadora y secadora de ropa; así como productos de limpieza. A disposición toallas de baño así como de piscina. Muy buen internet y excelente comunicación con la anfitriona, siempre accesible y muy amable.

Oh my gosh, we had an absolute blast on this trip. This house was absolute stunning. Lots of kitchen equiment, even a bbq. Check in was a breeze. The AC worked so well we wanted extra blankets. The pool was spectacular. so much seating for a big faily or lots of friends. a quick walk to town but also a garage for a car. Yira is super awesome and communicated very well. Would love to stay here again!!!

House host was wonderful, the house itself was nice and equipped with everything we needed to make our stay great.

Place is perfect - pictures are super accurate, Yira is very accommodating, and location is perfect in Tamarindo. Would highly recommend!

Great service, communication, hosts, and home itself. Everything is amazing, you can't ask for more in a home.

Excelente servicio, la comunicación, los anfitriones y la casa en sí. Todo increíble, no se puede pedir más en un alojamiento.

If you’re looking for a clean, relaxing home, walking distance to downtown Tamarindo, this is it! Casa Barcelona is about a 10 minute walk to restaurants, bars, shopping and the beach. Keep in mind though, if your coming during the rainy season, you’ll get wet! Like super wet! Roads here aren’t paved so be prepared to get a little muddy walking to and from the house. Our host, Yira, is great! She’s super sweet and was very quick to respond when I texted her. Thank you! Pura Vida ✌🏻

Good location and clean place away from the noise but the road that leads to it is terrible. Bumpy, potholes made even walking into town an inconvenience especially after it rains like everyday. Yira was very helpful and I would recommend this place.

We had a great stay at Yira’s place. The home was as it’s described. The beds were very firm. Some of our family enjoyed that, some didn’t. I suggest that you buy groceries before heading into the town of Tamarindo. There is a grocery store nearby but it’s very expensive. The home had cooking utensils and dishware but if you need more things, (foil-Saran wrap, etc…) then you would need to buy that. Some reviews said there was no salt & pepper but during our stay it did. We haven’t been to Costa Rica since 2006. Lots has changed. It was very cheap back then in Tamarindo. Now it’s like you’re in the states. Everything is very pricey. All in all we still had a great time!

If you're staying in Tamarindo this house is in a great location. It's a 10-15 minute walk to great restaurants and stores. The house is great for a big group and has everything you'd need for a vacation stay. We loved using the pool and even heard some howler monkeys at night. Would definitely stay here again if I was in the area!
