I could not be happier with my stay at Galenas, she was attentive, and very accommodating taking care of all my needs and giving great tips of places to shop and eat. The home is so beautiful, breezy and clean, the pool is super nice and the beds are very comfortable! I love the open kitchen concept where my family and I can all be together while also still having a lot of space and privacy of our own if needed. The location is perfect for our needs as we prefer to not be right in the thick of a party scene but still minutes away from Tamarindo, shops restaurants and beaches and. This was our second time staying here, the first having been rescued from a nightmare AirBnb of which Galena saved us from at short notice and was an incredible host. We will definitely be coming back to stay here again in the future! Highly recommend!

Galena’s place is perfect for those who wanna stay close to Taramindo without being in the heart of the city. The pool is a great addition to the listing, and all basic needs were available. Our first night, however, we had an issue with the lock on the gate. We lost about 1 hour trying to fix it and ended up not having a lock for the rest of our stay (main gate). Regardless of that outcome, Galena was super responsive to try to find a solution. Another issue we had was that the wifi stopped working for our last two nights. Overall 4/5

El lugar es muy bonito, realmente acorde a las fotos que se publican, únicamente tuvimos inconvenientes con la limpieza de la piscina, ya que estaba sucia y no llegaron a limpiarla a pesar de haberlo reportado. Todo lo demás estuvo espectacular.

A perfect little private paradise close to all the spots we love to go surf and only a few minutes to grab lunch or a coffee. This location was perfect for us. The pool was amazing and very peaceful. There were yellow butterflies all around the hibiscus trees and sounds of birds. The house had everything from a beautiful French press, to coffee maker and beautiful coffee mugs. I love my coffee! All 4 rooms had AC which is a must. Gated and covered garage for parking and is in a really safe area. Galena was a wonderful host and recommended amazing restaurants, tours, the best surfing and was there for anything we needed. We will definitely be back! 🤍
