The Space
Historical Background
Casa Amarilla, also known as Yellow House, was designed and built by its owners and local workers in 1962. This distinctive wooden home stands directly across from the sea at Playa Tamarindo.
All the wood used in its construction is native to the area, specifically from Hacienda Pinilla. At the time, the materials were transported by ox-drawn carts across the Playa Langosta estuary to Playa Tamarindo.
The house has two floors and includes five bedrooms:
- Bedrooms 1 and 2: One queen-size bed in each room
- Bedroom 3: Two twin beds
- Bedroom 4: One twin bed and one king-size bed
- Bedroom 5: Two queen-size beds
The downstairs kitchen is fully equipped.
With restaurants and shops just steps away, the property offers a convenient and memorable Tamarindo experience.

Part of me doesn’t want the word to get out how amazing this home is so that it’s not fully booked and we can’t come back. Location is perfect! On the beach so we enjoyed our morning coffee watching the early surfing. Evenings we got free fire dancers who were entertaining next door. The restaurant next door also brought over menus and would make food and bring it to the home! Plenty of rooms for 3 families. AC in each bedroom so people could sleep comfortably. The cleaner came every morning and made it look brand new. When we arrived after a week in La Fortuna we needed laundry so we asked where we could take it. Well they came and swooped up our laundry and brought it back folded and ready. If you are traveling with kids this home really allows you to step back and slow down. The only thing that threw me, but ended up loving was the outdoor living. Bedrooms are indoors while dining and living are outdoors. There is also a porch upstairs to enjoy the view. We will be back!

Second time staying here and will continue to come back and stay here!! This is the best spot in Tamarindo, you wake up on the beach and can walk to anything while still having privacy and security.

This property offers one of the best locations in Tamarindo. It is right on the beach and directly on the main strip, giving you the best of both worlds. We could walk out the front and be steps from restaurants, shopping, and nightlife, or walk out the back and be on the sand within seconds. The location made our stay incredibly easy. We walked everywhere. Each morning we enjoyed coffee at beachfront cafes, and each evening we explored local restaurants and shops. Despite being in the center of everything, the property felt private, secure, and comfortable. We felt safe throughout our stay. The daily housekeeping service was excellent and kept everything spotless. Ivan, the on-site property manager, was fantastic, responsive, helpful, and genuinely invested in making sure we had a great experience. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Tamarindo.

A perfect location in the heart of Tamarindo. It was so amazing to be right on the beach in a private house right in the middle of town, so close to everything. The house was great, comfortable, with great bedrooms!!

It’s hard to summarize what a gem this place is. Casa Amarilla will hold a special place in our heart. It’s absolutely beautiful and the only property like it in the area. This home has been recently renovated, a perfect place to roll on and off the beach all day long. Lots of restaurants on the beach, so you don’t need a car or anything to enjoy endless beach time. The hosts were gracious, responsive and worked together when anything came up. There is security on property who do patrols, and cleaning during the day. Fresh linens are stocked, lots of beds.

You can’t find a better location in town. Right on the beach, in the heart of the downtown core. You can walk to all the shops and restaurants, rent surf boards steps away from the house. It is tucked away down an alley off the main intersection in town. Absolutely the best location, people would walk by on the beach and stare at the property thinking of how great it would be to be able to rent this location.
