3BR villa in Tamarindo

Casa La Reina, Private Jungle Villa - Villas for Rent in Tamarindo, Provincia de Guanacaste, Costa Rica

We had an absolutely incredible stay. The home is beautifully designed, peaceful, and feels like a private luxury retreat. Every detail is thoughtfully done, creating a perfect balance of comfort and style. Larry and Reina are exceptional hosts, warm, responsive, and genuinely caring. They made sure everything was seamless from the moment we arrived. A special highlight was chef Eli, she was truly amazing. Super professional, incredibly talented, and the food she prepared was outstanding. She elevated the entire experience to another level. The location is ideal and offers complete privacy. It’s the kind of place you don’t want to leave. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a high-end, unforgettable stay. We will definitely be back.

Thank you so much for sharing your experience, Tomoko. We’re happy to know our villa’s design, privacy and chef Eli’s creations made your stay memorable. We look forward to welcoming you back for another relaxing retreat.

Amazing Home! Over all experience was 10/10 ! If you want a perfect get away with friends and family casa la Reina is the place for you ! The view was breathtaking! The monkeys were the best part of the stay!!! I felt at peace and at home ! I was very sad to go! I definitely will be back !

Staycy, thank you for the kind words — I’m glad our villa and the views helped you unwind and enjoy the monkeys. We’d love to host you again; if there’s anything we can improve for your next stay, please let us know and we’ll take care of it.

The photos don’t do this place justice. Beautiful views , peaceful and serene. The housekeeping and cooking services put this place above all others. Not having to worry about cooking,  shopping or cleaning made this such a relaxing vacation.

Thank you for your great review, and we look forward to your return!

It’s a lovely apartment, it looks better than the pictures.

Our stay at Casa La Reina was exceptional! The responsive concierge team arranged everything from surfing lessons to stocking groceries, and even provided cold medicine for our daughter. The cooking and housekeeping services surpassed expectations, and staff checked in regularly without being intrusive. The property features stunning views, a beautiful pool, and a safe location just 10 minutes from Tamarindo - perfect for exploring while maintaining privacy. Pro Tip: When using the house provisioning service, set a budget. Our 3-night stay provisions cost $500 USD with leftovers. Be mindful of high-cost items. Overall, Casa La Reina delivered an incredible experience with no surprises - just relaxation in a beautiful setting with world-class service. We’ll definitely return! Doc and Fam

Thanks, Doc — we truly appreciate the thoughtful review and are glad the villa, team, and services helped you relax and enjoy Tamarindo. We’ll take your provisioning note to heart and will make our budgeting guidance clearer for future guests.

Stay of a lifetime for our family milestone event. Lovely home in a peaceful environment. Exquisite dining. Exemplary service. The home was impeccably beautiful and felt like the lap of luxury. Having a chef included was a real treat for us and exceeded our expectations. Concierge service was very helpful to our every need. Highly recommend! Thank you all, thank you Larry & Reina!

Than you so much for your kind words and we will absolutely share them with the entire team! Thank you again for selecting Casa la Reina for your Tamarindo vacation and look forward to your return when you come back to Costa Rica! Reina, Larry and the Casa la Reina team.

Was a great jungle retreat and our family really enjoyed the pool and wild life. It was nice to have the prepared meals at the house because it was a bit off the beaten path which we expected and wanted. We did not anticipate the road conditions being so rough however (made getting to town a bit longer than expected). We loved our adventure and staying at Casa de la Rena was a big part of it. If you’re planning on staying here bring lots of cash because the food costs and tip expectations were substantial. Something you need to plan for.

We miss it already! It is such a beautiful property. Picture perfect. It’s fun, relaxing, and unique. We loved every inch of it from the hummingbirds in the back to the monkeys in the front. It was great for bird watching. We traveled with our 3 children and they had a blast. Xiomara was special! My kids ate everything she prepared which is saying a lot. She was attentive and had wonderful. Melissa was very easy to reach and she went above and beyond for us, even returning left behind items since we were near by at a new location. It was truly hard to say goodbye. You will not regret staying here.

Wow! I don't even know how to begin. Everything about our stay was perfect. Melissa was the ultimate host....I asked her so many questions and she was nothing but kind and patient. Xiomara took care of the cooking and cleaning, she felt like family by the end of the week. I only wish my spanish were better so I could tell her that! And Luis was always kind and attentive while taking care of the outside. The location, ambiance....all of it! Don't hesitate on this place!

My family had a wonderful time at Casa la Reina. It was so peaceful to watch the butterflies and birds while relaxing in the pool or doing Pilates on the deck. The cook and housekeeping was a nice treat for the end of our trip to Costa Rica. We Zip-lined and did an ATV tour at the Black Stallion Ranch just down the street. Melissa the property manager was very helpful and friendly. We saw monkeys in the trees outside the morning before we left which was the highlight. Highly recommended this property!

Sarah, thank you for your kind words ...and I will certainly pass them in to the entire team!

Beautiful home outside of Tamarindo.  Very private, modern, and clean, it looks just like the pictures.  The house is about 15 min outside Tamarindo.   This is a bit more remote and there is nothing in walking distance if that is what you are looking for.  But for our family the privacy was just what we wanted.   Grocery about 5 min away, but you don't really need it.  The staff can get you anything you need with enough notice.   Melissa the manager was super welcoming and offered lots of help for local activities.  Xiomara cooked amazing meals for us and kept the place spotless.  We would usually go out on a day excursion or tour and come home to a clean house and wonderful meal.  She really made the trip special.  Would definitely stay there again.

Overall, this was a great house. Communication with the host and house managers prior to arrival was great. The house is very nice and as described. It's in a peaceful setting about 15 minutes from town. Lots of nature (howler monkeys, birds, iguanas, frogs, etc.). The house manager arranged excursions for us (whitewater rafting, zip-line, and surfing). Having breakfast every morning was great. We did experience some miscommunication on meals early on and there were a few minor maintenance issues, but those did not affect our stay (I am not sure the host was even aware but a house manager was informed). If you take advantage of the meal service and/or the concierge service to book excursions, I would confirm everything with the host upon arrival.  Overall, great stay and I would stay again!

We really enjoyed our 6 day stay at Casa La Reina! The hosts were extremely friendly and easy to communicate with throughout the booking process and our entire stay. They helped us arrange an excursion, groceries, and meals for the week. When we arrived, we were greeted by the hosts who helped show us the property and all the features. At this time we also paid for all of our groceries for the week, which were stocked in the fridge/pantry. They even had welcome snacks and drinks prepared for us when we arrived! The house is about 15 minutes from downtown Tamarindo on a gravel road. The road is fairly easy to navigate, the last part being a steep hill up to the house. We had a small SUV (Rav4) and had no issues traversing the roads. The house felt very secluded, safe and private. The house was also very well kept and had an amazing view from the deck/pool area! We had a total of 4 people (2 couples) and felt we had plenty of space and privacy while here. We would highly recommend!

My recent stay was truly exceptional! We are a family for 4 with 2 young boys, 5yo and 2yo. From the moment I booked, the communication was prompt, clear, and incredibly helpful. Any questions I had were answered quickly and thoroughly, making the pre-trip planning a breeze. Upon arrival, I was greeted by the wonderful staff who were consistently friendly, attentive, and went above and beyond to ensure I had a comfortable and enjoyable stay. Their dedication to service truly stood out and made me feel so welcome. The property itself was excellent – clean, well-maintained, and exactly as described. It provided the perfect base for exploring the beauty of Costa Rica. I wholeheartedly recommend this Airbnb to anyone looking for a fantastic experience in Costa Rica. The combination of great service, excellent communication, and a truly wonderful staff makes it a top-notch choice. I can't wait to return!

Thank you so much for your kind words. the team at Casa la Reina works very hard to make your visit truly a special one with homecooking, daily housekeeping and s concierge to help make activity suggestions and arrangements. The staff enjoyed everyone, especially the little ones and we look forward to your return. Reina & Larry

The house is nice; the surroundings of the house are very ugly👎.  The hosts are very attentive and make things very easy. "One of the best I've known as hosts" in the house I killed scorpions 🦂 and had some cleanliness problems when I received the house and they told me it was because I checked in early "which they authorized me to do." Another day the digital key door was blocked and I was locked out of the house when I returned at night for 30 or 50 minutes. If you want privacy between rooms in the house, you will NOT have it; because you can hear everything between the rooms, you can talk from room to room. That's not compatible if you want privacy. Outside, everything is fine.

La casa es linda; el entorno de la casa es muy feo 👎.  Los anfitriones son  demasiado atentos y facilitan muchísimo las cosas “de los mejores que e conocido como anfitriones” en la casa maté alacranes 🦂 y tenía algunos problemas de limpieza al recibir la casa y me dijeron que fue porque hice un check in temprano “cosa que ellos me autorizaron”. Otro día la puerta de llavín digital se bloqueó y me quedé fuera de la casa al regresar en la noche por 30 o 50 minutos. La casa si quieres privacidad entre cuartos NO la vas a tener; porque se escucha todo entre las habitaciones, puedes hablar de cuarto a cuarto. Eso no es compatible si quieres privacidad. De ahí en fuera todo bien.

We are shocked at some of Jorge's comments. Costa Rica is a jungle and natural so it is not ugly as he describes. If he wanted to be in the city, our 5-star property is not where he should have come. The guest arrived at the door, 2 hours early, without our knowledge, with a guest having been there the previous night. They knew check-in was not until 3pm. They also showed up with a dog, as we are a no pet property insisting we rearrange furniture and rugs to accommodate the animal. They had no dog crate to contain the animal when the guest left the property. The smart lock challenge was due to a internet outage we explained to the guest occurs in Costa Rica. Hosts should beware and be warned if you host this guest of issues we had.

Incredible and unique experience. The view is amazing. Howler monkeys right outside the villa playing in the trees. Cook was the sweetest. Cried when leaving from the overwhelming beauty of the view.

Thank you for your kind words, Cindy. I’m so glad you both enjoyed the stunning views and that our villa's unique charm, from the playful howler monkeys to our attentive cook, made your stay memorable. We’d love to welcome you back anytime!

When it comes to an airbnb, you don't always know what you will get when you arrive. At Larry & Reina's, you can expect it to be exactly like the photos. The house was beautifully decorated, furniture was clean, and it was the perfect spot for our family for the week. The house staff (Mely as the property liason & Xiomara as cook) were friendly and quick to respond. We had a little hiccup on our arrival with the lock, but Mely arrived shortly and helped us in and gave us a quick tour of the facilities. We loved the monkey visits in the early morning. Don't miss the local acitivites- Black Stallion Eco Ranch has an awesome zipline tour and we loved the "Chocolate Experience" tour at Reina's Chocolate. The evenings were peaceful around the pool and Xiomara made it a true vacation by handling dinner each evening. (Her ceviche was delicious!) Overall, we had a wonderful stay. Thank you Larry, Reina and all the staff at Casa La Reina!

This place was amazing. We used Lazarus place to relax before a conference. The pool and layout of the house was perfect for two couples. The house had everything we could need and the pool and lounge patio is where we spent most of our time outside. The hosts were very helpful in getting our groceries and the staff made us great food despite the fact that we gave them little direction.

Brandy, thank you very much for the generous review. The team works hard for our guests to ensure an unforgettable vacation that brings guests back time and again. Reina and Larry

Casa Lareina did not disappoint! We stayed for 5 days with our three adult sons and a daughter-in-law. It’s the perfect house for a time of relaxation in Costa Rica. It is about a 15 minute drive to Tamarindo if you’d like to eat out, surf, kayak, take a catamaran trip, etc. Our family of 6 enjoyed the quiet of our location and we spent a lot of time at the house. There are lots of birds, iguanas and monkeys howling! Every morning an iguana would join us at breakfast and eat a little fruit we gave him. We loved the concierge service that came with the house… Mely and Guyao took care of our transportation, car rental, excursions and groceries. Xiomara was our cook each day. We chose breakfast and dinner. We paid for the groceries and she did the cooking and clean up! Such a treat! Sitting outside by the pool is all you need.. weather was great. Tamarindo in January is beautiful and the ocean water is the perfect temperature. We highly recommend Casa Lareina!

Kirsten, thank you so very much for your kind comments. The team at Casa la Reina works very hard to make sure our guests not only enjoy themselves but can relax and make it an actual vacation without worrying about cooking, shopping, and arranging activities. Please consider Casa la Reina your Tamarindo home away from home when you return to Costa Rica. Should you travel to one of our other locations, such as Taormina, Sicily, Puerto Vallarta, MX, or Miami, you will welcome you to stay one of our properties in these locations. Thank you again, Larry, Reina, and the whole Casa la Reina team!

Lawrence‘s place was by far the best Airbnb I have stayed to date. The place is in the middle of the jungle with wildlife all around, completely serene and just heaven on earth. We were able to see howler monkeys, frogs and a ton of birds & butterflies right from the Airbnb, which is wall to wall glass. At night and you see a sky full of stars because there is no light pollution. What made the trip even more phenomenal was the concierge service and the meals included. To be honest it’s better than some of the resources I’ve stayed at. Melissa, Guayo and Xiomara were phenomenal. They were constantly checking in and made sure we had everything we needed. Had groceries at the place before we had gotten there and even with tons of our last-minute requests they were able to book excursions that were just out of this world. if I had to do it all over again I would’ve stayed the entire time at this Airbnb instead of anywhere else. If you are thinking about this location just book it!

Anas, thank you so much for you generous review! We definitely pass this on to the team... and they enjoyed having you and your guests as much, thank you again!!! Larry & Reina

Our last minute trip felt like a vacation months in the making thanks to the host and his team of professionals. From arranging airport transportation, private yoga and massage sessions, to excursions, meal planning and preparation, we felt like VIPs at an ultra-exclusive resort! The villa is the perfect place to relax, unwind and restore yourself while being close to great shopping, dining and activities. Can’t wait to return!

Thank you so much for your generous words and we will definitely pass them in to the team.  We are very fortunate to have a strong and qualified team!!!

Our family (wife & I + 2yo & 5yo) had a wonderful time! House and property are absolutely stunning and pristine. Melissa was super helpful, stocking groceries before we arrived, and was very responsive answering questions and recommending things to do with the kids. Dana was amazing, keeping the house tidy, preparing delicious meals, and was awesome interacting with the kids who loved watching her cook. Even in the “rainy season”, there was plenty of sunshine during our visit, and when it did rain, it was beautiful/relaxing watching the showers from the house. Kids loved playing in the pool and discovering wildlife around the property, including iguanas, butterflies, and even saw howler monkeys our last day! Location feels very remote, although still easy/convenient to get into town. We rented a car with 4wd and were glad we did because the final stretch up to the house is pretty steep and bumpy, but that just adds to the adventure! Overall, had amazing stay and hope to return soon!

We had a wonderful time at the property.  It worked wonderful for my family, and we had a great time.  It is every bit as nice as the pictures.  Melissa and Dana were wonderful hosts on site and made our stay easy.  I would not hesitate to go back.

Thank you, Mike! I'm thrilled you and your family enjoyed our villa. I'll make sure Melissa and Dana hear your kind words—they’ll be so happy! We look forward to welcoming you all back anytime.

Family of 4 who needed a peaceful retreat. We put our kids in a Spanish immersion summer camp during the day while mom and dad enjoyed the serenity of the villa. The house exceeded expectations and I’m a picky person. Would highly recommend to anyone visiting the area. Dana took care of my children by lovingly feeding them everyday. Melissa was responsive and friendly. Everyone I interacted with from the house was lovely. We truly enjoyed our stay! 5 stars all the way. It was amazing!

We had a truly magical experience at Casa la Reina! This home is the most beautiful place we have ever stayed, the house is gorgeous and the views are breathtaking! The home itself is spacious with gorgeous large windows throughout. The beds were very comfortable and the a/c was excellent. We loved the pool and all of the outdoor seating to enjoy the views and watch all of the incredible wildlife. So much attention to detail in this home, we loved the fresh flowers, the filtered water throughout the house, an incredible icemaker, ceiling fans and yoga mats. The entire staff at Casa la Reina were welcoming and good to us! Jimmy was helpful with check-in and answering our questions. We LOVE Dana, she made us the most delicious meals and took amazing care of the home and even laundered our clothing for us! Melissa went above and beyond to help us. We HIGHLY recommend this home and experience, it was a dream vacation and we will absolutely be back!!

Leah...thank you so very much for your kind comments. We work hard as a team to help ensure our guests have a vacation where you simply relax, no cooking, no making beds, and enjoy all Costa Rica has to offer. Again, please consider Casa la Reina your Costa Rica home away from home and we look forward to your return! Larry & Reina

This places exceeded our expectations we came here for our honeymoon! Shoutout Jimmy and Dana for giving us the best experience and accommodating to us!

First, congratulations again on your wedding from the entire team and thank you for sharing this special event with the staff of Casa la Reina.  We hope you will return anytime you wish to revisit your special honeymoon destination.     Larry, Reina and the staff !

This house is so beautiful!!! I loved my stay here. It’s very clean and the views are so pretty! The best part is you’ll see cute little monkeys in the trees early in the morning. Cris is very helpful. Eli, our chef, is so sweet and her food is delicious! Definitely recommend this place!

Alyssa...thank you so very much for your kind words. I will be sure to pass this great review on to the entire staff. .and tha k you again for selecting Casa la Reina. Larry & Reina

Me and my family (wife + 2 daughters) spent 3 nights at Casa la Reina. It was an amazing experience and everything about it was perfect. The house itself is fabulous and looks exactly the way suggested in the photos. What I want to highlght explicitly is the staff, that was taking care of us. That level of service orientation is very unique. The communication started about 10 days in advance led by Cris, who did an amazing job of introducing the concept, gathering information about our preferences and transforming them into a perfect setting for the entire time of our stay. During our stay, it was Melissa who was there for us literally day & night in the most dedicated way, gave great recommendations and did the grocery shopping according to our briefing. And finally Doña Eli, who cooks the most amazing food and takes care of the cleaning, both subtle and of the highest standard. With just a few characters left, I'll sum it up by encouraging to book! 100% satisfaction guaranteed :)

Daniel...thank you so very much for your great review. I pass all reviews on to the staff, but on behalf of them all THANK YOU. They enjoyed your visit and hope to see you all again. Larry & Reina

What can I say? This place is absolutely stunning. The casa itself is pristine, clean, and not lacking a thing! Eli took incredible care of us, fixing amazing food and keeping the space clean and picked up. Don’t miss out on her sushi! And if you’re looking for a private oasis - you’ve found it! The only thing I’d recommend is getting a car with 4 wheel drive. The last push to get into the driveway is on an incline that is hard with 2 wheel. Otherwise amazing place, owners and staff! Pura vida!

Beautiful house with an absolutely stunning view! It was hard not to spend our entire trip at the house enjoying the pool and the view! The host and property manger were very responsive and helpful with any questions we had before or during our stay. Highly recommend to anyone traveling to this area.

Definitely coming back. Doña Eli and Doña Yesenia were the sweetest and cooked delicious. Eileen was also super helpful with everything.

Thank you so very much for the review Sahury.  The entire team works very hard to help make your stay a true vacation.  You can be assured we do pass on to the staff your kind words and we do hope you return and consider Casa la Reina your home away from home.

We were happy at Casa la Reina. It is just what we wanted to spend a few days with the family. The house was always impeccable, it smelled very good, and perfect for my family of 5, although 6 people fit Perfect. The lady who helped around the house, Eli, was super nice and willing to help. We rented a car so we could move around. Perfect to go to the beach or to get to know without problem. The house is super quiet and is surrounded by trees and a very beautiful jungle! It is newly remodeled and everything is new which makes you feel very comfortable. There are food stores very close to buy what is necessary to cook. The beds are very comfortable and the kitchen is super equipped. We were very happy and felt at home from the moment we arrived! We will be back very soon! great place!

Maria, thank you so very much for your kind review and we look forward to hosting you again in the future! Larry & Reina
