Tamarindo, Guanacaste
Stay at our cozy beachfront apartment, located on Tamarindo’s main road, at 50 meters walking distance from the beach (right where the best surf is!) and next to the Marine National Park “Las Baulas”.
Right next to the apartment is Soul & Wine Bar and Tapas where you can enjoy a variety of wines from all over the world, eat delicious tapas and chill out to the sound of soul music! The closest supermarket is a 5 minutes’ walk away.
Within 10 minutes you are in the center of Tamarindo, where you will find a great selection of restaurants, shops, bars, etc.
HOSTS WERE GREAT, HAD A SLIGHT AC PROBLEM WAS FIXED AND BACK TO NORMAL WHEN I GOT BACK. IF YOU WANT QUITE SOLITUDE, NO. THERE'S 1 MAIN ROAD AND YOUR ON IT SO YOU WILL HERE ALL MANNERS OF TRAFFIC. ALSO, THE BEST WESTERN ACROSS THE STREET HOSTS A FRIDAY NIGHT FREE DRINKS FROM 9 TO 11 (LOUD MUSIC AND PARTYING). IF YOUR A, LIKE TO SLEEP IN THE DARK PERSON LIKE MYSELF, NO. JUST BAMBOO TYPE BLINDS ON THE 2 LARGE WINDOWS. NO CURTAINS TO BLOCK OUT THE LIGHT. A MICROWAVE WOULD HAVE BEEN HANDY TO WARM UP LEFTOVERS INSTEAD OF A PAN ON THE STOVE. AND A COFFEE MAKER. ITS LOCATION WAS GREAT THOUGH. EVERYTHING WAS WITHIN WALKING DISTANCE AND THERE WERE PLENTY OF EATING, DRINKING AND SHOPPING ESTABLISHMENTS ON BOTH SIDES OF THE STREET. WALKING CAN BE A LITTLE SKETCHY AS THERE ARE NOT SIDEWALKS EVERY WHERE. YOU'LL FIND YOUSELF WALKING IN THE STREET AT TIMES. BUT ALL THE DRIVERS ARE VERY COURTEOUS. WE GOT A GOLF CART ONE DAY AND HAD A BLAST! THE PROPERTY IS PRETTY DATED BUT HAS A COZY COMFORTABLE VIBE. IF YOU WERE A SURFER DUDE BACK IN THE 60's YOU WOULD BE IN HEAVEN.
Close to everything, unique room, looks like it was converted from a retail space, but it worked. With all the vegetation there is no ocean view, but it's right there. 2 minute walk. Not the place if you want to cook, as it has a portable gas stove and a glorified toaster oven I couldn't figure out. Short uber to everything, i would stay there again, just be prepared, absolutely nothing fancy.
We greatly enjoyed our stay! The apartment was nice and had everything we needed. The hosts are great! They were very friendly and helpful throughout our entire stay. We went on a boat snorkeling tour with them and had a wonderful time. The location is great too. The Chinese restaurant downstairs was the best Chinese food I’ve ever had, haha.
Laura was a great host, the place was as advertised. It’s as if your living like a local and gives you that experience. No butlers or fancy amenities, but that’s what I was looking for. The only problem I had was, like someone else said, the dogs barking. They could bark for hours and not stop some days. At night, early morning, so expect that. Also a little noisy from traffic on main road but not that bad. It’s an amazing location, 2 min walk to the beach and food, and like a 5-10 min walk to Centro where all the clubs/nightlife were. I walked home pretty late and never really felt unsafe but I don’t recommend that for everyone. Overall if it wasn’t for the dogs, I would have gave 5 stars instead of 3.
Was not happy with place. Not very clean. We moved out on January 22 to another place. So we had to pay for both
Small apartment, basically one room, but everything we needed to self-cater. Close to the surf beach and a reasonable walk to the supermarket and restaurants. Lots of wildlife seen from the rear balcony-large iguanas, a monkey and hummingbirds! No kettle but a great Italian coffee pot! No complaints!
Excellent location for everything in tamarindo 3 min walk to the beach, local food all around,
This property is cute and simple with more of an authentic aspect compared to a villa, condo or hotel. It is very close to Playa Tamarindo and several restaurants and shops and a short walk to the center of Tamarindo. You can easily stay here without a vehicle as everything is a short walking distance. The owners are extremely friendly and helpful! :)
Close to the beach, close to town, walkable everywhere!
The fridge went out which was not their fault but it was slightly inconvenient. Nothing moves fast in Costa Rica. Pura vida.
We really enjoyed our time here. The apartment was as advertised and in a great location. Davide and Marie were lovely and helpful.
