Spacious Villa w/ Pool & Beach Club Access - Houses for Rent in Tamarindo, Provincia de Guanacaste, Costa Rica

The house has an open concept which is beautiful. Everything went smoothly with no problems at all. Thank you to the management

Thank you so much for your wonderful review, Scot! It was a pleasure hosting you and your group, and we would love to welcome you back to Casa Kenkai anytime. Pura Vida! 😊

Excellent place and very nice, super recommended

Excelente lugar y muy bonito, súper recomendado

We absolutely loved our stay and we’re so grateful to Elsa and the team at Casa Kenkai! And we’re so grateful for Elsa and the team at Stay In tamarindo. Everyone was extremely responsive, quick to answer any questions and help solve problems and a valuable resource during our trip. The house is beautiful, very comfortable, large and great for a group or several families. The view from the pool overlooking the golf course with nothing but the sound of cicadas, the wind blowing in the trees and howler monkeys is absolutely beautiful. Access to the beach club for a small fee is an excellent perk of the house and we used it every day and loved it. Great food, there beautiful surf and a lovely pool and gym. Hacienda Pinilla is a great find with some really great restaurants nearby, including Lola‘s, and the new Mercado, I’ll rustico, and a great pizza place. We will definitely be back!

First off the property is absolutely stunning! The pictures don’t do it justice! And it is very secure. Negatives… We arrived at the property somewhat late in the evening. There was no hot water and two of the bathrooms had no water in the sinks. We immediately notified Elsa. She informed us that someone would be out the following morning. (Which was fine, seeing that it was already late in the evening). Even after workers came out, water was not repaired. I sent Elsa 4 messages. Dead silence… finally after four days I called and sent an email. Samantha was very apologetic and explained that Elsa was on vacation. Sure would’ve been nice to know that. Samantha dispatched someone the very next morning and we had hot water the remainder of our stay. There are also several leaks. Another issue we had was no communication on cleaning day, and pool cleaners came several hours later than we were told. Just as we entered pool. Home is amazing, but just wanted to provide an honest review.

Thank you for your notes, Natasha. We normally prefer to do personal check ins and accommodate the guests' ETA with the Guest Manager agenda, so we can meet you at the house for a proper welcome. Unfortunately, in this case your arrival got postponed and we offer remote assistance. Regarding the maintenance reports, the team arrived the next day in the morning and the hot water was working perfectly, so we showed the group how to use the handle properly for the hot water to run, and we also worked on the one sink with no water. About the leaks, we had one leak that we fixed in the previous reservation, as during the peak of the rainy season this inconvenience can happen. It was fixed right before your arrival, so it was only some final painting details that had to be done. We are sorry for this, we have gladly finished with the work. In regards to the communication, we always provide a phone number to call, as well as an email and the Airbnb chat, to communicate, so the guests are always covered. The House Manager, Elsa, responded to all your messages in a timely manner and sadly we were experiencing some difficulties accessing the Airbnb chat during your reservation, which the team explained on the call. We are very sorry this had happened, we wish we would have received the call on the first day but we addressed the reports as soon as we received them. About the cleaning day and pool maintenance, the information is provided with the guidebook of the property (sent with the Check in Information), and we encourage our guests to read it to make sure all the information is successfully provided. We hope you can come back soon so you can experience a 5 star stay.

Loved this location and loved working with Stay In Tamarindo! We did have some minor issues but Elsa’s speedy responses and resolutions were greatly appreciated! The house was amazing, the location was nice and private. I will forever recommended Stay In Tamarindo, Elsa and the entire team!

Great location, very nice house with 4 bedrooms.  Nice kitchen setting and appliances. Clothes washer and dryer were very useful.  Needs some painting / repairs on the ceiling, but nothing to make our stay uncomfortable.  The hosts Samantha and Elsa, very responsive, friendly and helpful.  The house is very comfortable, and nice to stay.

Thank you for your review, Receba. We are happy to know you and your family had a nice stay and that the concierges were helpful. Regarding the works, right a couple of days before your arrival, a strong storm and rain hit the area, and the team had to intervene a leak. Because of the limited time on accomplishing our tasks, we were able to fix the main report but we were not able to finish with the aesthetics, but fortunately it's all fixed now. Thank you for the visit and we hope to host you soon.

Excellent stay! We had a great time! The property, the house and its surroundings are wonderful! Elsa was excellent! We maintained very good communication, she helped us with everything we needed! I hope to be back soon!

Excelente estadía! La pasamos muy bien! La propiedad, la casa y sus alrededores son maravillosos! Elsa fue excelente! mantuvimos una muy buena comunicación, nos ayudó con todo lo que necesitábamos! Espero volver pronto!

A number of things did not work in the house. We had to have someone come and turn on the hot water. Then just before we left I ran a load of wash not knowing the dryer did not work. Besides that the house was great. Good location within Hacienda Pinilla.

Thank you for your review, Patrice. We are happy to know you had a good time at Casa Kenkai, and we are sorry about the maintenance reports. Gladly, our maintenance team was able to assist you with the hot water in a timely manner, and we were able to find the piece for the dryer that needed replacement​.​ Currently it is working perfectly. We would love to host you back in the near future 😊 Pura Vida

Elsa was absolutely amazing! Anytime we had any issues she was very responsive and available. The property was beautiful and so private. The only challenges that I would say is be aware that it is further from downtown Tamarindo. Also, it is very difficult to get a Uber.

Thank you so much for this great review, Tiffany! We are very happy to hear Elsa helped you plan a wonderful vacation, and that you enjoyed Casa Kenkai. We totally agree, renting a car is a great recommendation to move around the area and go to Tamarindo town :)

Elsa was an amazing host, she helped with all of our arrangements before we arrived and while we were in CR. Her response time was very fast! I rented this house for my family vacation and it was perfect! It looks exactly like the photos, beautiful and very clean. We will definitely be back!

Thank you so much for your lovely review, Billie! We are very happy you had such a wonderful time with your family. We would love to host you very soon! Pura Vida :)

Amazing place and very comfortable, loved the stay and the attention given

We had a wonderful 3 week stay at Casa Kenkai in Hacienda Pinilla thanks to Stay in Tamarindo.  Elsa and Daniel were incredibly responsive, helpful, and available to help organize all our tours, car rental, booking a chef, and pretty much anything we had a question about.  It was a seamless planning process and they even worked with multiple people from our family, coming in at different dates.  We had meals prepared by two different chef services, both professional and with delicious meals.  My son said he felt like we were living in a castle!  The house is spacious, with lots of light coming in from the huge windows and accommodated our group very comfortably.  The resort property is lovely, private, safe, and has nice amenities (restaurant, pool, beach, gym) to add to the already wonderful comfortable house with a pool.  We hope to be back very very soon!!

Thank you for your wonderful review of Casa Kenkai in Hacienda Pinilla! We're thrilled to hear that you had a fantastic three-week stay and that Stay in Tamarindo provided excellent service. It's great to know that Dani and Elsa were responsive, helpful, and available to assist with organizing tours, car rentals, chef bookings, and any other questions you had. You were a fantastic group and We hope to welcome you back soon! Pura Vida!

We loved staying at Casa Kenkai! The whole Stay in Tamarindo team was amazing to work with. They helped us organize tour, transportations, and everything we might’ve needed. The location is a bit of a drive from the Tamarindo area but you have everything you need in Hacienda Pinilla. 100% recommend getting golf carts to be able to move around the area since the distances are pretty far to walk

Thank you so much for your lovely review, Paulina! So glad you enjoyed the house and area! We enjoyed having you as guests, hope you are able to come again!

The house is well located and is exactly as per the photos.  Elsa was an amazing host: incredibly helpful and has great recommendations.

Hi Elizabeth! We are very happy to hear you had a wonderful time at Casa Kenkai and that Elsa helped you have a better time during your vacations. We hope we get to see you around again in the near future!

We enjoyed our time at Casa Kenkai. The house is clean and spacious and has everything you need. Elsa was a fantastic host.

Thank you so much for your visit and your lovely review, Annika! It was a pleasure to host you and we are glad to know you had a good time at Casa Kenkai celebrating your anniversary. We hope to see you soon, Pura Vida!

When I first booked it was great communication between the host and I. Before I traveled the host was able to provide everything I needed upon arrival. My friends and I enjoyed every part of the home. The home was clean, nice, spacious, and had everything we needed. I can’t thank the host enough for providing everything before and during our stay. When traveling internationally this makes everything so much BETTER. I would recommend to anyone and stay again in the future!!!

Thank you so much for your lovely review, Matthew! It was a pleasure to host you and your friends and we are glad to hear you had a wonderful time at the house, and that our guest managers and concierge helped you have a 5 star experience. Hope to see you soon, Pura Vida!

We love the time we spent in Hacienda Pinilla, Golf Reserve. The house is super well located and is according to the photos. It has a wonderful view of the golf course. The rooms are good, the space is comfortable. The outside area is also very nice. In the master suite we had trouble with the air-conditioning, but they resolved it. Cleanliness could be better in the bathrooms, moldy tiles. The communication could be improved, the only way to contact the management of the residence was via email, which I found quite boring as we didn't have direct communication. Anyway, I recommend this stay and would definitely go back there! Our vacation in Costa Rica was wonderful!! PURE LIFE!!!

Adoramos o período que passamos em Hacienda Pinilla, Reserva de Golf. A casa é super bem localizada e está de acordo com as fotos. Tem uma vista maravilhosa para o campo de golf. Os quartos são bons, o espaço é confortável. A área externa também é muito gostosa. Na suíte principal tivemos problema com o ar condicionado, mas resolveram. A limpeza poderia estar melhor nos banheiros, azulejos com mofo. A comunicação poderia ser melhorar, a única forma de entrar em contato com a administração da residência era via e-mail, o que achei bastante chato, pois não tínhamos uma comunicação direta. De qualquer forma, recomendo esta estadia e voltaria com certeza para lá! Nossas férias na Costa Rica foram maravilhosas!! PURA VIDA!!!

Thank you for your review Karen, we are happy to hear you loved the house and the views of the golf course! Also thank you for your notes, we already took care of the AC and the little spaces that needed a deeper cleaning in the bathrooms. Regarding the communication, unfortunately, our international line was not compatible with your Brazilian number but we are already working on that to get faster communication with our next Brazilian guests! :) Thank you again for choosing us and see you next time! Pura Vida!

Spectacular house and residential area. Great attention from the host . Recommended 100%

Casa y residencial espectacular. Excelente atención del anfitrión . Recomendado 100%

Our stay at Casa Kenkai was amazing. Elsa is a wonderful host. She stopped by to introduce herself and was always available to answer my many questions. The house was very clean and well equipped. The neighborhood is peaceful. I highly recommend staying here.

Thank you so much for your visit, Tia! It was such a pleasure to meet you and host you, and we are glad to know you had a wonderful time at Casa Kenkai. We hope to see you sometime soon!

Great property in the Pinilla development!  Communication was great, property is well appointed and taken care of.

Amazing house and host! Very confortable, everything you need is there! You will enjoy the quiet surroundings with the golf course right behind the house so no noisy neighbours! You can access Playa Avellanas directly form the compound with a short car ride following direction for Club the playa. A must!

Thank you Silvia for your kind note! Nothing makes us happier than happy guests! We are glad to know you enjoyed all the activities Hacienda Pinilla can offer. Hope to have you back soon in Costa Rica ☼

We enjoyed our stay so much! Elsa was amazing. We had a rough start to our trip and she was communicating with me very step of the way to make sure things went smoothly. The house is better than pictured. The pool feels great and the chef services was perfect.
