2BR house in Playa Langosta

Villa Altamar 3  walking beach - Houses for Rent in Playa Langosta, Provincia de Guanacaste, Costa Rica

The Villa is amazing!  Great location to Tamarindo as well as the Playa Langosta beach and many others.  Its about a 45 mins drive to airport.  Its a 3-5 min scooter ride downtown Tamarindo.  2-3 min walk to beach.    The villa was perfect.  Small kitchen but everything you need to make a meal.  The beds were comfortable and the home was clean.  The private socking pool was perfect for a night cap.  Plenty of space for 2 couples even though it was just me and the wife.   There were howler monkeys in the trees next to the complex which was a delight to see.  We felt safe during the whole stay.

The location is really good, just outside Tamarindo. On the other hand, the villa lacks a little love. Cracked, stained walls... No decoration in the second bedroom.

L'emplacement est vraiment bien juste à l'extérieur de Tamarindo. Par contre, la villa manque un peu d'amour. Murs craqués, tachés... Aucune décoration dans la deuxième chambre.

We stayed at this place from May 10 to 24, 2026. It has many positive points and a few negative points. First of all, I loved that Claire spoke French. It made our conversations easier. Then the instructions were clear upon our arrival, and I appreciated the speed with which my questions were answered. We asked questions about the various activities in the area, and Claire was very proactive. Also, some kitchen utensils were broken, and everything was replaced within hours of our request. We needed an extension to plug in our golf cart, and it was provided quickly. The only negative points were regarding cleanliness. They came to maintain the pool several times a week and the water was very clear, but the walls were relatively dirty. Also, inside the accommodation, there were rings on the walls and stains on the curtains and a blanket (which I washed).

Nous sommes restés à ce logement du 10 au 24 mai 2026. Il a beaucoup de points positifs et quelques points négatifs. Tout d’abord, j’ai adoré que Claire parle français. Ça facilitait nos échanges. Ensuite, les instructions étaient clairs à notre arrivée et j’ai apprécié la rapidité avec laquelle on répondait à mes questions. Nous avons posé des questions quant aux différentes activités du coin et Claire étaient très proactive. Aussi, certains instruments de cuisines ce sont brisés et tout a été remplacé dans les heures suivant notre demande. Nous avions besoin d’une extension pour brancher notre voiturette de golf et ça nous a été fourni rapidement. Les seuls points négatifs étaient au niveau de la propreté. Ils venaient entretenir la piscine plusieurs fois par semaine et l’eau était très claire, mais les murs étaient relativement sales. Aussi, à l’intérieur du logement, il y avait des cernes sur les murs et des taches sur les rideaux et une couverture (que j’ai lavée).

The hosts were very responsive and attentive to our needs! We enjoyed our stay in Tamarindo, especially the Langosta area.

Great spot within walking distance of town and the beach. Quiet and safe

Nice little place in quit surroundings close to beach and lots to do 😃 highly recommended

Great stay in Playa Langosta. Location is perfectly situated between Tamarindo and Langosta, with great access to both areas. Hosts were responsive and helpful.

Great place to stay while im Tamarindo if you are looking for something just outside the business of town yet accessible

Very responsive and helpful hosts and the location was perfect - close enough to walk to town, far enough away that it was peaceful and quiet

Carla’s place was perfect in every way. The back patio was the perfect place to enjoy morning breakfast after a walk for coffee in town. Everything was as described and beautiful.

Carla’s place was amazing very spacious love the outdoor areas! Very safe and secure. Will definitely stay here again!

A beautiful property for my first stay in Costa Rica! I would definitely recommend this villa for anyone who’s wanting privacy but also likes going out into town. Tamarindo is only a 4-5 minute drive and they have plentyyy to see and do. pura vida❤️🫶🏼

We spent two weeks at five different locations in Costa Rica. Our stay in Langosta  topped the list. Great location just outside the busy center. Walk to beach close and easily accessible. Great waves for kids to surf every day. Clair and Steve were a great help from the beginning. From booking our vehicle at the airport to recommendations for restaurants, groceries, surf lessons, snorkelling…. Responding to all our questions and requests quickly. You made our trip the best it could be. Thank you again.

Great place to stay. Walking distance to both Playa Langosta and Tamarindo. Place was clean and easy to check into. Felt secure. No issues with noise or neighbors during the stay.

We loved our stay! Beautiful place in an excellent location. We appreciated being within walking distance to town but far enough away to be able to escape the hustle and noise of Tamarindo. Our end of the beach was nicer as well. Would highly recommend!

We had a great stay! The location of this villa was perfect. It was easy to walk to town and the beach. The villa was extremely clean. The only thing that interrupted our stay was the construction directly next door. Construction was constant every single day from 6AM to 6PM. Although we understood that it was unavoidable we did not realize how loud and close the construction would be. We were unable to use any of the outside amenities due to the volume and intensity of the construction. Overall, we had a great trip and will definitely be back to Costa Rica!

Carla Y Mariano were the greatest hosts! Their place was in the best location and was clean, safe and private! When we needed help they were immediately there to help! Appreciate them and would highly recommend their property!

We had an absolutely wonderful day! Will definitely be stopping here again awesome access to all of Tamarindo! And the hosts are amazing

Modern clean getaway outside the hustle and bustle of Tamarindo. Super close to very private beaches and good eats. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a place in Playa Langosta.

We had a fantastic stay, felt right at home. Slept well and great location with fantastic restaurants! Sunsets at playa Langosta were beautiful and the shopping was great in Tamarindo. Thank you for our stay ☺️

We loved our stay here! The Airbnb is perfectly located, and we felt extra fortunate to be next to Sofia restaurant which has incredible food. You are close to multiple beaches but far enough off the city center for some quiet. Highly recommend this Airbnb!

We had a fantastic stay. Carla quite literally couldn't have been more responsive. The unit is a free standing building - one of four - set back from the street. It is positioned nicely right between Tamarindo Beach and Langosta Beach, and it is an easy walk to either. The two beaches are quite different. Tamarindo is much more touristy and the sand is soft - it is perfect for surfing (and there are lots of places to rent boards for the day or a few hours); we always just rented them on the spot for two hours. Langosta is quite private, but the shells and rocks aren't good for surfing (or long walks). The facility included shared foldable beach chairs and umbrellas, which were nice to have. The only downside was that the lot right next door is under construction (which is clear in the property's description). While there was some banging in the morning (7:30am-ish), the noise was limited throughout the day. Overall, I'd highly recommend this property - we really enjoyed it!

Great little gem! Close to beaches (5min walk) and Tamarindo but quiet and peaceful. We had a great time.

Carla’s home was wonderful for our family of 4. We rented a car and there were restaurants and shops within 5mins of driving (10-20 mins of walking). It was a little south of Tamarindo making it a lot quieter and private. We walked to Langosta beach access across from the Indian restaurant (amazing btw) and it was a lot less crowded than Tamarindo beach. Pool was a definite plus for the kids and after a long day and the beach. Wonderful memories. Thank you!

One of the best airbnbs I’ve ever stayed in! Kind host, pristine & modern property, steps away from the stunning beaches of playa langosta and tamarindo. 5-10 minute walk from tons of delicious cafes and restaurants. We especially loved the iced lattes at nearby Pandeli cafe every morning!! Fast WiFi so no issues in working remotely. Host was incredibly responsive and even met us in her car within minutes to help us check in when we couldn’t find the airbnb. As two girls traveling alone and new to the area, we felt safe and secure - property is gated and there are curtains throughout. I also have severe allergies to dust, feathers, pets, mold, etc, and had no issues as the airbnb was pristine. Had everything we could have needed, including cooking supplies, ice maker, hair dryer, abundance of beach towels, extra blankets. Served as the perfect home base for our vacation of beach, relaxation, and adventure. Would highly recommend - So grateful :)

What a beautiful place right outside of Tamarindo town (about a 10 minute walk)! And a 5 minute walk to the beach, to eithher Tamarindo Beach or Langosta Beach (which we loved and is more private). Carla was extremely responsive throughout our stay and gave us really great recommendations for surf lessons, restaurants, waterfalls, etc. The place felt a bit smaller than the photos but was perfect for what we needed. Thank you for the wonderful stay!

Accommodation in very good condition, comfortable and well equipped. Everything like in the description. Very friendly and attentive reception, with very quick responses

Alojamiento en muy buenas condiciones, cómodo y bien equipado. Todo como en la descripción. Recepción muy amable y atenta, con respuestas muy rápidas

Our stay at a hotel was unpleasant and we found this listing instead. Carla and her husband happened to have availability for the dates we needed and accommodated a very last minute booking. It was a wonderful stay! We had the complex to ourselves, it was peaceful, quiet, and clean. We loved the plunge pool and felt that it was very walkable to two beaches. Our favorite was Playa Langosta. They also were able to provide us with an extension cord to charge our rented golf cart which was super helpful (this avoided the hassle of dropping off the golf cart every couple of days and arranging other transportation to further sides of town). They were very responsive. I would stay here again!

Carla  was  a great host - excellent communicator, kind and very responsive. The condo is good for a couple of days. It's a small space with basic amenities. Photos are accurate - the kitchenette is small. Plunge pool was quite refreshing in the very warm weather.

We loved it here. It’s away from the bustle and bustle of downtown tamarindo so it’s quiet… except for the howler monkeys that woke us up each morning swinging from the trees… (our kids loved this!) my boys loved the pool. Access to the beach is literally a 5min or less walk away right next to The Coast hotel. Carla was so helpful and provided tips for traveling to the rainforest and restaurants. She answered our questions right away. We had neighbors across from us in the condos Carla doesn’t manage. They decided to party till 3am one Friday night and Carla had already asked security to talk to them and even answered my message to her about it at 3:30 am! She went out of her way to help us feel welcome and comfortable while we were there. If we return we will definitely consider staying here again. Thanks Carla!

Our stay at Carlas place was great! She was able to host us at the last minute.  We were in town when another Airbnb fell through, and Carla was able to get us into her space in under an hour.  She was friendly, kind, and very responsive when things came up.  The place is as advertised and is a perfect spot to be close to the beach, but quiet enough to relax at the end of the day.

This place is amazing. Beautiful high ceilings, nice pool, good outdoor space, two TVs, AC in every room, parking, 14 minute walk to all the restaurants, bars, and clubs. Looks like the photos and would absolutely recommend for anyone who wants a nice place a bit further from all the action but still within short walk to beaches and restaurants. Carla and Steve were helpful and kind hosts :)

Carla's place is an outstanding location, between Playa Tamarindo and Playa Langosta. We walked about 10 minutes to Playa Tamarindo if we wanted to enjoy activities (surf lessons, boat excursions, etc) or rent chairs and it was about the same distance to Playa Langosta where it is much quieter and more peaceful. We would cross to Playa Pacifica and be one of the ~10 people on the beach enjoying the waves and watching the surfers. The unit is brand new and has everything for a family of four. It was spotless and everything worked great. Carla was responsive when we had a request and check-in instructions were sent before we landed. The area right around the condo is pretty quiet, although a festival took over Tamarindo the weekend we arrived.

Really clean space, quiet area. Secure too. Also very convenient location to the town and beach. And the hosts were quick to respond and helpful.
