Casa Oasis is close to Playa Tamarindo, the beach, restaurants and dining, nightlife, and family-friendly activities. You’ll love my place because of the location, the ambiance, the outdoor space, the privacy, and the people. My place is good for couples, families (with kids), and big groups. Although not beachfront, the house is on the second block as it's a very close walk to the beach. The space There are 4 bedrooms with beds that include a king, a queen, a full size, and 2 singles. There are 3 full bathrooms. One of the 4 bedrooms is a guest house with full bath. The yard includes a beautiful garden with dip in pool. And the backyard includes a BBQ with patio area that is perfect for gatherings. The living room is wide open that communicates with the kitchen with islands that are great for inside gatherings with wine fridge. Guest access The entire house is accessible for use. Other things to note The house is rented as a cozy home that is essentially complete. We do not offer toiletries other than hand washing and dishwashing soap. There is no hair dryer. What we've found is that this stuff disappears and can be difficult to replace. For years we've rented the house without renovation to renters who understand the nature of a trip to Costa Rica and received an average of almost 5 stars. And now after $80K in renovations in 2023, we've seen a few guests who have been critical of the house. ??? Some of the issues include mild wear with loose door handles or cabinet knobs, something that's tough to correct in between renters. There is no hotel concierge as its privately owned house used by the owner's family a few times per year the exact same way renters use it. I don't charge a security deposit as I just ask that you are respectful to the property/home. So I believe the take home message here is that if you are the type to begin a detailed house inspection upon arrival to nitpick everything wrong, this house will not be for you. I had a recent complaint about the lack of shower head on the outdoor shower. We had one on there but I took it off because the stream was too weak to get sand off my feet and to rinse my surfboard. So hopefully this does not discourage rentals. I believe that some feel like they want maybe more modern upgrades, as it's just not that type of property. It's beautiful as is. I want to make sure that there is satisfaction during a guests's stay, but I think expectations from a few are far too high for the deal you get for this house. Thanks!

## Overview

Casa Oasis is conveniently located near Playa Tamarindo, offering easy access to the beach, restaurants, nightlife, and family-friendly activities. The property is ideal for couples, families with children, and larger groups. While not directly on the beachfront, the house is just two blocks away, making the beach a short and pleasant walk.

The home features four bedrooms with a variety of bed sizes:

- One king bed

- One full-size bed  
- Two single beds  

There are three full bathrooms, including one in the guest house, which is a separate bedroom with its own bath.

## Guest Access

Guests have full access to the entire house and its amenities.

## Additional Information

The house is rented as a comfortable, fully equipped home. However, toiletries are not provided except for hand soap and dishwashing liquid. There is no hairdryer available, as these items tend to go missing and are difficult to replace.

After $80,000 in renovations in 2023, the property remains a private home used occasionally by the owner’s family, similar to how renters use it. Some minor wear and tear, such as loose door handles or cabinet knobs, may be present due to frequent use and quick turnovers between guests.

There is no hotel concierge service. The owner does not require a security deposit but asks guests to treat the property with respect.

Please note, this home may not suit guests who expect a detailed inspection or want a fully modernized property. For example, the outdoor shower does not have a showerhead, as the previous one was removed due to weak water pressure that made rinsing off sand and surfboards ineffective.

Overall, Casa Oasis offers a beautiful and comfortable stay, though it may not meet expectations for those seeking extensive modern upgrades. The owner aims to ensure guest satisfaction and appreciates understanding guests who value the unique charm and value of this home.

Casa Oasis - Lobster Paradise - Houses for Rent in Playa Langosta, Provincia de Guanacaste, Costa Rica

Casa Oasis was a great sport for our group of 6. Traveling with our older children and some of their friends mostly in their 20s. It offered plenty of space for everyone to spread out. The outside patio area was a great place to spot some wildlife. Easy to walk down to the Langosta beach, which is very private like and awesome for sunsets. There are a few restaurants in walking distance that are great and a cute little mini market at the end of the block for most items. We had a great time and would stay here again! Thanks Peter.

Absolutely beautiful house with amazing outdoor and indoor space! 5min walk to the beach with grocery store and restaurants even closer. The overview of the house is correct, it’s not the most up to date modern place around, but that is not something my family requires. It was large enough for us and accommodated our family which consisted of 6 months to 70 years of age. Pool was kept clean and nice to have to stay cool. We usually stay in Tamarindo but needed a larger place for our family trip. This house is a 10 min walk pushing a stroller on the beach to our favourite place on the beach in Tama, Noguis. Great location, very peaceful and super relaxing. Definitely recommend to others and I would stay here again in the future

Peter 's place was fantastic! Very clean, private, and in a perfect location! Also close from several beaches, restaurants and markets. We would definitely come back!

Good value for money. We really enjoyed being able to walk to Tamarindo, the beach and the restaurant.

Bon rapport qualité-prix. Nous avons beaucoup apprécié pouvoir nous rendre à pied à Tamarindo, à la plage et au restaurant.

The house was a solid landing spot for our family as we explored the beaches around Tamarindo (we had a car). The description is very accurate. The house is spacious, with big rooms and vaulted ceilings. We did not need to use the additional one bedroom guest house for our family of 5. The house has everything you need for a week at the beach. We really appreciated having the large washer and dryer, and there was enough laundry detergent for several loads, if needed. The home is a little older, but taken care of, and it was very clean (I’m picky about this). We used the kitchen every morning to cook breakfast and it had what we needed. The outdoor area is very private, shaded and spacious, although we did not spend very much time there because we were too busy exploring the beaches. The pool was deep and nice for a quick dip after being at the hot beach. I appreciate that Peter sent a list of restaurant recommendations, as well as a detailed guide to many local surf beaches.

This home has all the necessities for a great vacation. Yes, it is dated and the road leading to the house needs to be paved badly… however! The home has great vibes and character and the pool was clutch! My 8 year old son loved jumping in daily/nightly, the diff trees shading the pool were beautiful and when it rained it was so refreshing. Bathrooms and kitchen are dated but clean. Vaulted ceilings were great. Washer/dryer was awesome! There’s a mini poker set, pool tubes/noodles, corn hole, and working tv in living room. We enjoyed our stay, hosts were responsive, area was safe and close to tamarindo. They do say it’s not for “picky” renters and I get it. But there’s no denying the beauty of Costa Rica and this home has it all at an affordable price. Pura Vida!

Excellent stay. I really have no complaints, honestly I thought it was very cheap for the characteristics of the place

excelente estadía. realmente no tengo quejas, honestamente me pareció muy barato para las características del lugar

The host describes this accommodation very accurately, but in my case it exceeded expectations. Spacious, fresh house with many common areas to rest. The pool wasn't that nice, but it turned out to be functional! The area and location are spectacular!!

El anfitrión describe este alojamiento muy acertadamente ,pero en mi caso superó las expectativas . Casa amplia,fresca y con muchas áreas comunes para descansar . La piscina no era tan bonita ,pero resultó funcional ! La zona y la ubicación es espectacular !!

Our family of six (4 kids ages 6-13) had an amazing time at Casa Oasis. Our rambunctious kids had more than enough room indoors to run and play, plenty of things to see (birds, iguanas, geckos, butterflies) and area to roam outside. Our kids never tired of the pool. It may be a plunge pool but our four kids were thrilled with it. We rented two golf carts and found it very easy to get into Tamarindo from the house. There are beach access points that are easily walkable from the house. The host and house manager were exceptionally responsive and helpful. The only thing I wish is that there was better lighting. Playing games or reading was very difficult during the evenings.

We had a great time, overall good place and would come back.

La pasamos muy bien, en general buen lugar y volvería.

We saw a lot of animals in the garden. The house was what we expected. However, you have to take the car to be able to go to the center of Tamarindo

Nous avons vu beaucoup d’animaux dans le jardin . La maison correspondait aux attentes. Il faut cependant prendre la voiture pour pouvoir aller dans le centre de Tamarindo

The place is very nice and has an excellent location!

El lugar muy bonito y tiene una excelente ubicación!

Casa Oasis was perfect! The location is super close to practically a private beach and a supermarket was right down the road. Downtown was a short Uber away and was super fun. The house was spacious and the pool area was amazing. Highly recommend!

Nice big space. Responsive manager(Maria). Wonderful location. Pool refreshing.  Outdoor grill needs some TLC. A/C works great!

I cannot say enough about how lovely this home is! Worth every cent location is perfect, always felt safe. The house has so much charm we moved in, settled quickly! The water taste delicious, & ice maker was great! We were so happy, the wildlife…amazing! Monos aka monkeys visited us almost daily, lizards, & crabs too! What a beautiful home! I could live there full time! Maria was quick to respond to any questions we had. Beach has many access just three short blocks away, location location location & price point, I cannot say enough! The restaurants are walking distance, the food & service, are on point. You will be trilled to choose this home, seriously!

Was a very lovely home, and quiet and private.  Easy walk to the beaches and a couple of excellent restaurants. Pool and grounds could use a little TLC, but they were fine.  Monkeys gave us quite a wake up one morning.

5 stars, very equipped and excellent location

5 estrellas, muy equipado y Excelente ubicación

Nice location away from the noise of Tamarindo and close to the beach. Looks a little different than the picture (no deck around the pool)but still a great place with plenty of space and tribes of howler monkeys. We enjoyed our stay. Just know that the community has a water shortage so be considerate and don’t waste water (it was not a problem for us, just FYI)

The house itself is located fairly close enough to everything.  It is a gorgeous home.  Our only complaint (which is a HUGE complaint) is that we ran out of water after only a day and a half.  The water tank was not refilled until the night before we left.  If you have 8 people, who like to shower I would not recommend this house.  We were in town for a wedding and had several events to attend.  It was extremely hot, so we showered a good bit the 2nd day we were there.  I would not stay here again.

There is a water shortage in Langosta as it's been off and on for years.  The issue now seems to be more severe as we are finding out.  There is NOTHING homeowners can do in the neighborhood about it other than refill reservoir tanks when the houses run out of water.  We do have 2 extremely large tanks that help out but they do run out if water is excessively used by guests.  That said, it's a shame that these people commented about how gorgeous the house is and then left a really poor 2 star review.  Especially when it's something we cannot control.  What we do is refill the tanks when they run out, but there are lots of homes also in need, so the water truck takes hours to refill the tanks.  I just feel it's unfair for guests to leave a review about an issue that is more of a Costa Rica issue than homeowner issue.  We as homeowners have no ability to get through to the AYA water company and get anywhere.  So much being built in the area and infrastructure not able to catch up to it is the entire issue with water availability.  So if water is an issue during a stay, we just recommend patience as the water truck will be by to fill it up most likely that same day.  We had renters experience this problem in the past and they made the most of it full well knowing that it was a community issue, not an issue with the homeowner.

We were not easy guests as we were  traveling with infants and toddlers and our flights didn't align with check in/check out BUT Peter + Maria were extremely responsive and flexible with our needs. They made it work and it was fantastic!! The house was spacious and the pool was great. The back room was also great to get away/nap time. Its a quiet location, near the beach but not super close to restaurants.  We got a golf cart (that the kids loved!) and took a 5 minute trip to Tamarindo. And from the pool, we got to see lots of animals including beautiful monkeys and birds!

Our families stay at Peter's place was fantastic. The location is so convenient - excellent restaurants, a small grocery store, the beach, ice cream shop, tour booking and surf board rental is all within a 10 minute WALK within Playa Longosta. Truly don't even have to go to Tamarindo for anything. The house was clean and cute. The house manager, Maria, was communicative and friendly. The house was easy to find and checking in and out was a breeze. We had a small hiccup at the house and it was dealt with promptly and to our satisfaction. Beds are comfortable and the Master even has hot water shower... which seems to be rare in Costa Rica. A perk for us was the 4th bedroom being in the guest house! It was amazing to have a separated space for our infant daughter away from the rest of the family so we didn't have to worry about her waking everyone. Overall, I would recommend the space especially for the price compared with other homes in Tamarindo/Playa Longosta. It is well worth it

Peters place was great for a family. Good amount of space. We ended up not using the guest house and all 6 of us fit comfortably in the house. Pool was a nice perk. Recommend some additional basic amenities to make this place 5 stars - coffee, shampoo/conditioner/soap, paper towels, extra key set. Overall good stay. Thanks for hosting us!

I've never offered shampoo or conditioner as I've been renting the house for almost 15 years now.  The last couple of guests have asked for it though and remarked in their reviews that they'd like it.  Also, I don't offer a hair dryer anymore because it tended to disappear.  So it is something to consider changing but I've been reluctant because we are not a hotel concierge and not sure how to get the small shampoo and conditioner bottles for the rentals.  And lastly, a hair dryer could be obtained if needed but we won't leave it at the property full time.

Playa Langosta is a fantastic location. Separated from the hustle of Tama, yet close enough for shopping, yoga, etc. To be honest, the house needs some love. If you don't mind missing door knobs and shower heads and shades that won't open, it should be fine. It is spacious, the gardens are beautiful and it is very private. The power went out just as we were about to leave, which of course isn't the owner's fault. We couldn't open the electric gates to get our car out to drive to the airport. Maria was unavailable to help, which gave us a rather panicky morning. But we figured it out and have an interesting travel story. There is a little grocery store at the end of the street, and fantastic restaurants within walking distance. The pizza place has great food and service. Best of all-the beach is very short walking distance and is one of the most beautiful I've ever seen.

After reading the review, it's something where I'm trying not to get offended, but I'm not sure why there are things brought up that she claimed I could not prevent, including the electricity going out.   I offer a very nice house that is rented as is.  It has been 80% rennovated from a year ago and what I've found is that some of the improvements like new kitchen cabinets have been scratched or damaged by renters.  The comment about the outdoor shower is something that I removed because the head was annoying to and lacking power to get sand off my feet after surfing.  That said, the house was a 4.8 star rental 10 years ago when it was not rennovated and cozy, but not as nice as it is now.  What I've found is that there are certain renters that have popped up over the past few years that expect perfection in every rental.  So the cleaning part is something that usually does not happen as most renters have not complained about the cleaning.  And that can be remedied by a call to the property manager to clean a toilet that wasn't looking clean enough.  But regarding some mild wear or lack of shower head on the outdoor shower, it's a bit much.  The perfect house guest for this house includes a party that has an appreciation of a beautiful Tico style house with vaulted would ceilings and plenty of space to enjoy it with a large group.  And at a great price.  What the house is not for is the group that will inspect every inch of it and find things to complain about.  Every friend I've had that's stayed at Casa Oasis even well before the remodel has told me to NOT change a thing.  I stand by that as I use the house as is and love it.  So I'm hoping future renters read this response to this review and understand we offer a very reasonable house at a very reasonable price with good communication.  We don't supply hair dryers and other amentities because they tend to disappear.

Amazing house just steps from the best beach in the area.  The neighborhood is walking distance to the bird whistles, excursions, and sports bars of Tamarindo, but we preferred hitting the local bodega and sitting on Playa Langosta.  An added bonus was the restaurants close to the house.  Don't skip out on Fish n Cheese...

Langosta has really become a great spot to just hang out only at this beach. Great restaurants around the vicinity.  Much less crowded than Tamarindo.  No traffic as everything is walking distance.  Food choices include a local market for supplies, the Bistro for Mediterranean food, Sports Bar with chef Matty running it, Sappo pizza, Walter’s for Italian, and even Indian food.  And you’ll probably never see the Tama crowds because of how small Langosta is with no extensive parking.  So when I’m down there during the busiest times of year, I hardly notice it if I stay in Langosta, unless I drive to Tama.  The perfect place to stay when visiting the area.

Peter's house was exactly as he describe in the AirBnB page and in his email. The place has everything you need for a family, is well located and even when we had an issue with something inside the house they react faster to fix it. I communicate with the person who manage the property by phone with fast answer and Peter was avaibale using the AirBnB page without problem. The zone around the house is really private with walking distance access to the beach.

Casa Oasis is a beautiful house located in the heart of Playa Lobster Its very comfortable, spacious facilities, meters from the beach, beautiful sunsets and very close to the center of Tamarindo. Quick and effective communication with Maria. I 100% recommend it

Casa Oasis es una hermosa casa situada en el corazón de Playa Langosta. Sus instalaciones muy cómodas, amplias, a metros de la playa, hermosos atardeceres y muy cerca del centro de Tamarindo. Comunicación rápida y efectiva con María. La recomiendo al 100%

A lovely house in a quiet location close to the beach. Good restaurants close by and a supermarket close by.

Een heerlijk huis op een rustige locatie vlak bij het strand. Goede restaurants in de buurt en een supermarkt vlakbij.

This home was very conveniently located. Easy to access and space for two vehicles and safe to park rental bikes and boards. House could use some uodates but it is clean and comfortable.

Peter and Maria (Care taker) have been amazing. They shared detailed instructions before, during and after our stay for us to enjoy the property. The home is situated very close to Tamarindo beach but in a secluded section of Playa Langosta (as advertised). We had an amazing time throughout our stay and highly recommend Casa Oasis (We never saw the cat :-(   )

This place was amazing. We spent 10 days here with friends and kids. It was perfect for both kids and adults. Within amazing distance to food and little market. You can easily walk to the beach and even to down town area. But would recommend good walking shoes if walking to down town. Sandals and the salt made the kids a little grumpy. The place was clean. We did have some crabs, geckos, monkeys and iguanas visit most mornings. Haha. The pool crew comes in a few times a week and they are the sweetest and kindest humans. As far as the peter went. I didn’t receive the message with the house instructions or the recommendations. So when I tried to communicate with him, he seemed very irritated that I was asking him anything. Although, I did get a hold of Maria finally (who’s the property manager) she was the most sweetest thing. She checked in with us almost daily making sure there was nothing that we needed. Other than that little mishap we had the best time and will be back again.

The accommodation is very spacious (bigger than the photos show). The courtyard is beautiful and intimate, it really feels like a vacation.  We had an incident with unwanted insects in the house, but the host was extremely quick to fix the problem, which was greatly appreciated on our end. With our kids we could walk to the majority of downtown attractions in less than 15 minutes. Thank you for the lovely stay!

Le logement est très spacieux (plus grand que ce que les photos laissent paraître). La cour est belle et intime, on se sent vraiment en vacances.  Nous avons eu un incident avec des insectes indésirables dans la maison, mais l’hôte a été extrêmement rapide pour régler le problème, ce qui a été grandement apprécié de notre côté. Avec nos enfants, nous pouvions marcher jusqu’à la majorité des attractions au centre-ville en moins de 15 minutes. Merci pour le beau séjour!

It is a nice place in a good location.  I never write bad reviews but there were a few unfortunate moments.  First, admittedly, we waited till day of to arrange the handover, and that’s on us.  Still, the property manager (not Peter), was not friendly to my wife who was just trying to figure out where it was.   We could have done better to get the info in advance but there was no need to be impatient with my wife.   Also the little casita is very musty and apparently not a very comfortable bed.   We did like the layout and location.   We surf and it’s a few minutes walk from playa Langosta with an excellent break.  The thing that made me negative was that during our stay, a few times people came into the house without knocking.  Finally on the last day I confirmed that we would be out by 10 am but the cleaners can in and started cleaning at 8:45am.   Not cool.  Hopefully the owners read this and make some corrections.

This group was pretty mellow during the stay as we were under the impression that everything was fine.  So I was a bit taken aback by the review.  I sent all the information to Cory about the house and directions, something he ignored even the day before the rental.  He never signed the rental agreement and just arrived impromptu to the country with no idea how to start looking for it.  So he called my property manager who could have pinged him on what's app and he gets directions easily to the house.  So with the confusion, it took my property manager an hour to direct them to the house.  She is very direct and has never really had a complaint that I can recollect.  I also have written directions to the house which they did not download even after reminding them to do so the day before.  Regarding the maid coming to the house to clean mid stay, is it me or do hotels not have maids knock on the door and even open the room if there's no response to come in and clean?  We told them that the maid comes mid stay to clean.  If there was an issue, I'm not sure why they didn't just tell Maria to not have a maid visit during their stay.  It's a nice service to offer guests as nobody has ever complained about the antics of the maid coming to clean.  And regarding coming in early to clean upon their departure, a simple discussion telling them to come back in an hour would have sufficed.  Some people leave really early and we had a new group coming in that same day.  No problem to tell them to come back.  And lastly, the group lost 4 towels and 2 were damaged with bleach.  They are expensive down there plus require an hour drive to replace them going to Liberia.

Our group of 6 had a fantastic time staying at Casa Oasis. It was nice having multiple covered patios and the pool was perfect for relaxing. The location is peaceful and walkable to Langosta beach and a few good restaurants in the area. We also had meals catered by Sunset Catering, which were fantastic and gave us more of a "Pura Vida" vibe, as we barely had to cook.

Place and price are affordable very close to beach and amenities

great place to stay! love this house, the town and the beach!

This was a nice place and easy to get to things with a little walking or rent a golf cart which is fun. There's a great restaurant right around the corner and Waterman's which is a spot you can reserve almost anything you need.

Stayed here for a month. A fantastic house. Photos are bit outdated but met and exceeded expectations. 3 minute walk to the beach. Short walk from a grocery store. AC and wifi both work extremely well. A bit far of a walk to downtown Tamarindo (but doable). Would definitely advise renting a car. Very clean. Outdoor shower is a nice perk. Lighting inside is a bit dim but otherwise not a problem. Pool/patio area is very comfortable. There is a propane grille

The first thing to note is that Maria and Peter were always attentive, concerned and resolved all our problems very quickly, that is appreciated to them. Regarding the house, the photos published must be from 15-20 years ago, neither the furniture nor the garden nor the lighting is the same as the photos . The house is very dark, no light comes in, no matter how much you take all the lights, open all the curtains, it's still dark. Needs urgent remodeling and maintenance. The first day we sat in a bed, it broke and fell, they sent a teacher and in 30 minutes it was already fixed. Opening the curtains of a living room window, we dropped the curtained rail several times and all. The grill was rusty and they bought us a new one. The door to one of the bathrooms is a curtain. There are 2 TVs, one in the master bedroom that should be from the '80s, and another in the living room that is not smart, and the deco doesn't work, so you can't see anything. There's a music team, but it doesn't work either.

Lo primero a destacar, es que María y Peter siempre estuvieron atentos, preocupados y resolvieron todos nuestros problemas muy rápidamente, eso se les agradece. Respecto a la casa, las fotos publicadas deben ser de hace 15-20 años, ni los muebles ni el jardín ni la iluminación son iguales que en las fotos . La casa es muy oscura, no le entra luz, por más que uno prenda todas las luces, abra todas las cortinas, igual es oscura. Necesita una remodelación y mantención urgente. El primer día al sentarnos en una cama, se rompió y se cayó, enviaron un maestro y en 30 minutos ya estaba arreglada. Al abrir las cortinas de una ventana del living, se nos cayó varias veces el riel con cortinas y todo. La parrilla estaba toda oxidada y nos compraron una nueva. La puerta de uno de los baños es una cortina. Hay 2 tv, uno en el dorm principal que debe ser de los 80, y otro en el living que no es smart, y el deco no funciona, así que no puedes ver nada. Hay un equipo de música pero tampoco funciona.

Awesome space. In the fancier part of town and more private than downtown tamarindo. Perfect for a slightly older group of friends. Only con is how far away it is from more affordable dining locations and activities.

great location. Maria was very helpful and responsive. very nice place.

We loved staying at Peter’s property. Would definitely stay here again!

Excellent place to vacation near the beach in a quiet and safe area. Peter and Maria were always attentive

Excelente lugar para vacacionar cerca de la playa en una zona tranquila y segura. Peter y Maria estuvieron siempre atentos

Thanks for all your assistance and hospitality Peter and Maria! Amazing place you have, thank you very much for everything!

Located in a quiet neighborhood with easy access to stores and restaurants, Casa Oasis was the perfect place for our family of eight. The house was clean, communication was good and house manual provided great insight in preparation for the trip. Bathroom on the back bedroom is on the small side (shower in particular is narrow) but the two adults staying there overcame the challenge by using the shower in the main house. Overall, highly recommended and unbeatable price.

Really nice house! We loved the pool, too. The master bedroom is fantastic. Location of house was close to the beach. Great list of recommendations was provided for restaurants,  places to hang out at, beaches, surf spots... We LOVED being there. Unfortunately the neighbour's were doing construction work - very noisy during the day.

Great stay, not the best wifi at all but in a beautiful area like that there’s no need for it, has everything ya need at home!

Everything was perfect for our visit to Tamarindo

Tout était parfait pour notre passage à Tamarindo

We enjoyed us very much at Peter’s place. Beautiful house with a perfect location just 15/20 minutes walking from Tamarindo. The house had everything you could want and the pool and everything was very comfortable. Would recommend!

This house is a gem- everything from the location to the layout and amenities. There is so much space, and the high ceilings even accentuate that feeling. It worked so well for our family of 5. The beautiful beach is literally 3 mn down a little path. Oh and you have 2 wonderful restaurants 2 mn away, El Sapo and Langosta Bistro. Can’t wait to come back!

Casa Oasis is well described in the listing. We were looking for a family friendly spot to base our Tamarindo experience and this was perfect. It was a 2 minute walk to an empty beach. We could easily walk 10 min to town as well. We have 3 kids and had plenty of room. Clean, comfortable house, felt safe and secure, friendly property manager and quick communication from the owner.

Great place for a family vacation! We had a great time and the location of the house is really convenient. The only thing I would note is that the host Maria is a bit hostile, came off very aggressive via text. Other than that, we had a great time.

Expect to be surprised. Really great place for a family!

Basic things  were not available such as shampoo & bath soap. Salt and cooking oli were not available, we purchased our own. No issues

We had a wonderful stay at Peter's  house. Had some issues with the key's locking the door to the house so just left it unlocked but it also could have been user error. The house cat Prince was the sweetest, we even went out and bought him wet food for our entire stay. Should we return to Tamarindo, we would certainly book with Peter again! Thank you so much!

Great house and great location!  Just a short walk to the beach, convenience store close by and close to town.  House was comfortable for my family, all enjoyed the pool.  Of course the highlight was having Prince the cat as our host during our stay.  Sweet Prince joined us for meals and sleep overs!  Loved Tamarindo!

Excellent place close to the beach. Lovely pool area, lots of space inside for our family of 5. Lots of towels, comfortable beds. It was great!

Our stay was perfect! Just outside of Tamarindo a 10 minute walk or 2 minute drive your in the quiet community of langosta beach. The house is great with a private pool plenty of shade and great outdoor furniture. In the back is a covered patio with a BBQ grill. There's a mini mart and great sports bar and restaurant one minute walk. Also you can walk to the beach in 5 minutes. I will stay at Peter's place again.

Amazing property in a very nice neighborhood- easy walk to the beach- overall a really terrific stay - great stack of  amenities and really comfortable home ! Safe and secure -Also a really cool cat visits and loves to chill - 5 stars !

Enjoyed our stay. Kids loved the pool and easy walk to the beach. Peter was up front that it is a work in progress and as others have said, it does need some updating. All the air conditioning units worked well and a brand new washing machine was added the day we arrived.

This home has amazing potential but things like broken lamps that are melted to the light bulb, broken A/C and wires sticking out of all the broken outdoor lighting should really be addressed and repaired. It’s a lovely home and good location but also really needs some love. We never expected anything fancy. We have travelled extensively in Costa Rica and have lived here. But kitchen cabinets are literally falling off. I hope that some maintenance is done soon.

We are in the process of renovating the house as some things have started to wear more lately.  The issue is finding time to renovate the house because of the demand for rentals is so high even this low season.  We've never been this busy, so the wear is tough to address all at once.  That said, the house has been painted and wood stained throughout.  The garden has been remodeled and white rocks spread throughout the grounds.  A new refrigerator with ice maker was purchased.  Step by step we are making changes as I just cannot cancel rentals and ruin vacations.  That said, there are 6 ACs in the house and the broken one was in the kitchen, right next to the other one in the living room, so it's really not all that necessary.  It just broke so we are replacing it.  That said, it usually only takes 2 ACs to cool the entire house.  Some of the wires showing outside were from the recent paint job and reapplying the covers.  They should have been replaced.  So anything that's not up to par, we have a property manager that will respond to fixing these needs.  But again, the house is being renovated in waves in between rentals as of now.  We just ask a bit of patience as the pool deck is next as well as other items like the kitchen cabinets, but for the bigger jobs it will take closing off rentals for a month or 2 to get the jobs done.  But the house is beyond livable now and really a great deal for bigger groups.  I'm going down next month for a week and  have no problem with the current conditions as the house is in very good shape.

Very good value, lots of space, beautiful master suite. Some of the appliances were dated, the dishwasher didn’t seem to work well. Prince the cat was lovely. A sweet and gentle cat, great with kids too.

Nice stay, my friends and I love it. Nice house and excellent location.

This place has everything you need. It's only a block away from Langosta beach, and a 2 min drive to Tamarindo beach. Couldn't have asked for anything else.

Great location!  Great stay.  If you are looking for a quieter location, a large accommodation, but still want quick access to Tamarindo beach area, this is a really good option.

The Airbnb is perfectly located, close to the beach and to the city center. You will find everything inside of it and especially things to clean and dry your clothes. The swimming pool is a bit old but you can spend good time on it. Special thank to the lovelly cat that staid with us during the stay :)

great place, close to everything, and excellent communication by the owner. We loved the cat that came with the house too!

un lugar muy bonito para compartir en familia!

Loved the place and the location so much.

Grate location, everythingis very close and the roads are in great condition. The house is beautifulbut needs an upgrade and maintenance. The edge of the pool is off and sharp, my kid cut his foot pretty bad. Make sure you use sandals around. Not a lot of natural light over the pool. Overall the house is nice and Peter was a great host, very informative.

Really close to the beach and spacious house. This place needs to be renovated, pictures in the profile are really far from how the house really shape is.

It is interesting to read responses I get from various renters regarding the integrity of this house.  I bought it when it required a lot of work as the roof leaked water and decks were wood and rotted.  I did fix it up to make it cozy, but as I've stated online, it's not meant to be a 5 star resort.  So I'll get the overwhelming majority telling me that it's fine as is, as it's a cozy house, spacious house that exceeds expectations.  But for some reason, there are a few guests that claim that it needs to be renovated.  So when I go back down to use the house myself, I find that it's still cozy and still my favorite get away.  As an example, the reclining chair does not recline anymore, but it is the most comfortable chair I've even sat and relaxed in.  So I won't replace it.  And based on a lot of reviews on here, the price is beyond a great value, so these are all factors in seeing if the house if for you.  If you expect the Taj Mahal, it is not close.  But if you want a comfortable house to enjoy a vacation on the beach at a nice rate, this is the place.  I just don't think that some people really evaluate the deal that they are actually getting as this house is still a big time bargain as stated in the bulk of the reviews below.

Great location & beautiful home. We felt very safe, and was a quick walk to the beautiful and private-ish beach! The private pool was great for a reprieve from the ocean. The home was spacious and great for us. We fell in love with the cat on the property & already miss the space! Highly recommend!

This a great spot private and close to town.  excellent host would definitely recommend.  I will be back!

Excellent place, private, impeccable cleanliness, close to the beach, the house is well equipped and spacious, the place is safe, communication with Maria (the host) is excellent! For my part, I recommend it to anyone who wants to enjoy a well-deserved vacation!

Excelente lugar, privado, la limpieza impecable, cerca de la playa, la casa bien equipada y amplia, el lugar seguro, la comunicación con María (la anfitriona) excelente! De mi parte lo recomiendo a quién desee disfrutar de unas merecidas vacaciones!

The house is very nice but unfortunately it does need a lot of repairs. There's a falling ceiling in the back, the armchairs are pretty old and have very bad lighting inside, and the pool is quite stained and cracked on the edges. I think with some repairs it could be very nice again. (I understand it will be remodeled soon)

La casa es muy linda pero lastimosamente sí necesita muchas reparaciones. Hay un techo caído en la parte de atrás, los sillones están bastante viejos y tiene muy mala iluminación adentro, además la piscina está bastante manchada y agrietada en los bordes. Creo que con algunas reparaciones podría ser muy bonita de nuevo. (entiendo que próximamente será remodelada)

A house with all the comforts for a long stay. Prime location on foot to Playa Langosta and 3 minutes from Tamarindo by car. The kitten they have is a love, quiet and respectful, a valuable decoration on the property. The pool is a bonus and can be used, but it needs some repairs to make it more attractive. Impeccable cleanliness and the house is really comfortable and with spacious social areas. Communication was always attentive and fast. Highly recommended!

Una casa con todas las comodidades para una estancia larga. Ubicación de primera a pie hacia Playa Langosta y a 3 minutos de Tamarindo en auto. La gatita que tienen es un amor, tranquila y respetuosa, un adorno valioso en la propiedad. La piscina es un plus y se puede usar, pero necesita algunas reparaciones para que sea más atractiva. La limpieza impecable y la casa realmente cómoda y con áreas sociales amplias. La comunicación fue siempre atenta y rápida. Muy recomendado!

I highly recommend this property for a large group. We had 7 guests and were very comfortable. Pool and outdoor area very inviting. We were just a few minutes to the beach walking on a path, encountering monkeys our first day.

A real find!! Close to the beach and a nice walk into town. The house is roomy with the most comfortable chair i've ever sat in. The pool was refreshing and the grounds were kept up and beautiful. I also enjoyed the room out back with it's own shower and bathroom.  Ì will definitely return.

Great place to stay with a big group. Short walk to the beach! Simple but has everything you need. we would stay again!!

This place was an amazing value. The pictures really don’t do it justice. Like Peter mentioned everything is not fully up to date, but the pool is awesome, the living room is great, the master bedroom is amazing, and the other bedrooms are more than adequate. The cat really doesn’t bother you and likes to sleep all day.

Casa Oasis is wonderful! You will not be disappointed. The gardens around the pool area are so peaceful and beautiful and a nice retreat after a long day at the beach. The house and casita are large enough for a group of 7 to stay very comfortably. Casa Oasis is also close to everything but secluded enough that you get the best of both worlds. I highly recommend this beautiful Oasis.

Very close to the beach, a 5-minute walk, super quiet, the cat is good company, very clean, the house is spacious, full air conditioning

Muy cerca de la playa 5 minutos caminando, super tranquilo, el gato es buena compañía, muy limpio, la casa es amplia, full aire acondicionado

Really nice place not too far from the beach. The house was nicer than we were expecting for the price and the pool was awesome. I would recommend staying here.

Comfortable and in a good location. General maintenance should be done!

Cómoda y en buena ubicación. Se debería hacer mantenimiento en general!

very nice house and more than all the location. The neighborhood is very quiet and the beds are super comfortable. The cat is the nicest!Super recommended. I would definitely come back

muy linda la casa y mas que todo la ubicación.  el barrio muy tranquilo y las camas super comodas. el gato es lo mas lindo!super recomendado definitivamente volvería

Thank you for such a great place to stay. I loved the location. It was very clean and suitable for our needs. Beds were very comfortable. If you get there right after it has been cleaned be patient with the hot water in the showers. We waited a bit and it was super hot than. Hot water heater just need a bit to catch up. Just a short walk from a very quiet beautiful beach and a short drive to Tamarindo beach which had lots of great restaurants, places to shop and things to do. We went on a Friday night to the Volcano Brewery to watch the sunset. What a great time. They had a live band and a great mix of vacationers and locals, dancing and enjoying the sunset. A lot of surfers lined up in the water too see it as well. On Tuesday and Thursdays nights a place called Longboard has live music. We saw an incredible duo there on a Thursday night. Their food was delicious. We loved the food at a place called NOI Bistro. I had the seared asian tuna dish there two different times because it was so fresh and delicious. Monkey Waffles was so good too. Great coffee drinks and amazing waffles all while seated on the beach. There is a great website to learn everything you need to know about Costa Rica.Its called MyTanFeet. Even had GREAT information for rental cars. We rented with Adobe rental car. No over charging great customer service. We found them through this website. I absolutley adored Prince the house cat. What a great addition he was. So friendly and mellow. If I ever return to Costa Rica I will rent here again. Thanks Peter!! Just a note there are NO spices for cooking not even salt. So if you stop by the store on your way in grab your favorites if your going to cook. We stopped at the main store coming into town. Its called Auto (parking is underneath the store). They had everything we needed. There was a great activity organizer named Diego. He is on the Tamarindo beach. He took great care of us. We booked several excursions with him and had such a fun time on them all. Very reliable.

This was a beautiful relaxing private space that was nicely close to beach access but also in a quiet side street. Tamarindo is very quiet and navigable, it is nice to park easily inside the gate also with the gate opener. Thanks so much!

We spent a wonderful week as a family, the house is very comfortable and everything works well in general, there are aesthetic issues that could be renewed, but they are not essential to enjoy the stay. Very close to the beach and the pool for the kids was ideal. The cat is part of the property but it is not uncomfortable at all, my children put Lulu on it. When we required assistance Peter and Maria, they were quick to respond. I would like to come back and would also recommend to others to stay at Casa Oasis. Thank you for everything!

Pasamos una semana en familia maravillosa, la casa es muy cómoda y todo funciona bien en general, sí hay temas estéticos que podrían renovarse, pero no son fundamentales para disfrutar de la estadía. Muy cerca de la playa y la piscina para los niños fue ideal. El gato es parte de la propiedad pero no incomoda para nada, mis hijos le pusieron Lulú. Cuando requerimos asistencia Peter y María respondieron rápidamente. Me gustaría volver y también recomendaría a otros hospedarse en Casa Oasis. Gracias por todo!

Wonderful, private property that is the perfect balance of bening close to, yet far away from, the hustle and bustle of Tamarindo proper. 30 minute walk and you're in the mix that is Tamarido. Super comfortable and when inside, you have a comfortable place with wonderful landscaping and a delightful pool. We stayed three weeks and found it super livable. A new fridge, high-speed WiFi and a great value. Overall, it was a near perfect place for our group of 6.

Great place for surfing both tamarindo and langosta. Close Mercado and bars, restaurants. The cat is super cool.

The place is overpriced for what you get. The person in charge of the house was very rude in times where communication was needed. Not very patient and that was not very nice. The house is in bad conditions and not very clean. We expected something completely different from what we payed for. On the first and last day, there where 2 cockroaches in the master bedroom BED and in the kitchen😰

What's been said above pretty much contradicts an overwhelming majority of what other guests have said.  This house does not come with shampoo and coffee as my property manager informed me that they wanted hotel amenities.  For 8 people, this group wanted a discount when they found out only 7, not 8 would be attending.  So this is how the rental went from before they even got there.  To be clear, the house is a great place to stay as I have friends, family, and myself going down all the time.  And I've found that the house is perfect for a beach house.  I'm not advertising a 5 star resort, as even after I've been to a 5 star resort in the area, I like my house much better.  So this group got half off the regular price and still complained.  And to top it off, they sent me a private message that there were too many trees around the pool  and not enough sun gets through.  Just completely the opposite of the last guests that stayed just a week prior.  Please scroll down and read that post.

A very spacious and private house, communication with the host was very good, unfortunately upon arrival they apparently had a pipe burst and we did not have drinking water throughout the stay so we had to spend on water bottles, the pool is nice and spacious,  the comfort of the house in general was excellent 👌

Una casa muy amplia y privada, la comunicación con la anfitriona fue muy buena, lastimosamente al llegar al parecer se les reventó una tubería y no tuvimos agua potable durante toda la estancia por lo que tuvimos que gastar en botellas de agua, la piscina es bonita y amplia,  la comodidad de la casa en general fue excelente 👌

Excellent location, the house is super spacious and with huge trees which make the place very cool. Walking 5 minutes to Playa Langosta. The place is very safe. Super recommended!

Excelente ubicación, la casa súper amplia y con enormes árboles los cuales hacen el lugar muy fresco. Caminando 5 minutos a Playa Langosta. El lugar muy seguro. Súper recomendado!

Everything was excellent, we were presented with a problem with the gate and the response and solution was immediate. Very kind Maria. 5 stars without any hesitation.

Todo excelente, se nos presentó un problema con el portón y la respuesta y solución fue inmediata. Muy amable Maria. 5 estrellas sin dudarlo.

The house is beautiful but is visibly neglected. The back room smells musty and the entrance, which is outside the main house, is affected by huge leaks that make the entrance to that room a whole river. There are burned out light bulbs, the coffee maker doesn't work well, the dishwasher doesn't work either. Some air controls work and some don't, and the same goes for the TV. The TV in the main room isn't working, and the shower is well neglected tb. There's a cat that's part of the property, and at least I had to feed it (even the cleaning girl told me the food was there), which I thought was bad taste, because for example, if I don't want to feed the cat because it's not my obligation... What happens to the poor cat? We were told the cat was going to be on the property but it gets into the house and cries the poor one if they don't leave it. I think this situation in its entirety should be informed to the guests and not just say "there's a cat out there" which was the info I received. The girl I coordinated with was super friendly and the cleaning girl tb. I hope they fix the house so that the charge that is made that is the same as the market is fair.

La casa es hermosa pero está visiblemente descuidada. El cuarto de atrás huele dem a humedad y la entrada, que está fuera de la casa principal, se ve afectada por goteras grandísimas que hacen que la entrada a ese cuarto sea todo un río. Hay bombillas quemadas, el coffee maker no funciona bien, la lavadora de platos tampoco. Los controles del aire algunos sirven y otros no, y lo mismo pasa con el tele. El tele del cuarto principal no sirve, y la ducha está bien descuidada tb. Hay un gato que es parte de la prooiedad, y al menos a mí me tocó alimentarlo (hasta la chica de limpieza me dijo dnd estaba la comida),cosa que me pareció de mal gusto, xq por ej si yo no quiero alimentar al gato xq no es mi obligación... Qué sucede con el pobre gato? Nos dijeron que el gato iba a estar en la propiedad, pero se mete a la casa y llora el pobre si no lo dejan. Creo que esta situación en su totalidad debe de ser informada a los husped y no solo decir "hay un gato por ahí" que fue la info que yo recibí. La chica con la que coordiné súper amable y la de limpieza tb. Ojalá arreglen la casa para que el cobro que se hace que es el mismo del mercado, sea justo.

The house is rented as is as it's well received by most.  There are a few things that might happen during covid and gaps in rentals like light bulbs burning out as all it takes is a phone call to fix these simple problems.  I've used the coffee maker and it's very functional.   Sometimes things disappear during a stay, so it's best to not place appliances that are first rate if they disappear.   But the ones there are beyond functional.  Lastly, the cat is fed daily by a pool guy, so there is no neglect here, only really poor assumptions from these past renters.   We offer guests to take part and feed the cat if they'd like but there is no obligation.  And the cat does cry a bit, but I usually pet it and feed it snacks appropriate for a cat.  The cat is advertised as part of the house and he won't leave the property, but that said,  I don't want him to.  He's lived there 12 years and we take good care of him, unlike what's been assessed above.  So sometimes people  are beyond picky as I cannot please everyone considering the last recent renters loved the place.  This is not a 5 star resort as it's a very cozy beach house that I used every few months as is and love it just as it stands.

The place was fully equipped, very clean and the house air conditioning was flawless! The house is bigger than what it seems in the picture. Perfect location!
