Fonda del Mar is a luxury beach front property in Tamarindo. Fonda is located in a gated enclave of four other luxury homes, walking distance to everything. It is not necessary to rent a car for your stay. You can enjoy watching the boats come and go while on the beach or relax by the pool with coffee in the mornings. Nature is right at your doorstep as the howler monkeys occasionally stop by and you can share your fruit with Julio, the resident iguana.

Fonda del Mar offers two accommodations: The immaculate Guest Suite which is on the second floor with a private entrance and the level entry ground floor Studio apartment. The Guest Suite has a large kitchen and dining area with a table that seats 4. There is a full size refrigerator, cook top with 4 burners and a counter oven. The living area is large and is combined with the sleeping area. There is a king bed and the living room has two comfortable chairs, cocktail table with a flat screen TV in the armoire. Perfect for couples that enjoy cooking in.

The Studio apartment has a efficiency kitchen with mini fridge, microwave and cook plate. There is a queen bed and a bistro table for two and a small flatscreen TV. The Studio apartment is perfect for those who want the luxury of being on the beach at an economical price and don't care to cook on their vacation! Both the Suite and the Studio have bathrooms with showers, AC and internet. You can rent both accommodations for two couples or a family with older children.

The pool and BBQ area are for the enjoyment of the guest of Fonda del Mar only.

If you are looking for a private, romantic stay on the beach in Tamarindo, Fonda del Mar is the place for you! This is a private home that needs to be respected so those travelers wishing to be out all partying all night, please seek accommodations elsewhere.

    We had a lovely stay at Fonda Del Mar. the grounds were beautiful, the unit was clean and everything was as described. A bonus was the beautiful pool we had all to ourselves and watching the Monkeys swing through the trees while we swam! The only negative was the construction going on next door. Fortunately we are early risers and it did not disturb us but was definitely a little annoying.

    This space was amazing lots of secured gates and so forth but that’s what made it feel safe . Host was very much involved with communication and keeping us informed. The villa and all its surroundings made this a great place to relax and enjoy. The highlights for me was the pool and right on the beach. All the decor and outside made it feel very welcoming. Definitely will be going back again . Thanks Maria !

    Unfortunately, this property is not as listed on VRBO. Some of the pictures of the outside of this property are of and from the main home, not the suite. The listing indicates beach front, however, the main home is beach front and the suite is behind the main home. In my mind, beachfront is on the beach, not behind a home on the beach. The picture on the website from the beach is of the main home, which is not where you will be staying, you will be behind that home. The picture from the side patio is also from the main home, not the suite. The view from the side patio of the suite is of an open area filled with weeds and you can see a sliver of the beach through a fence covered with tarps. My husband and I only stayed one night of our six night stay. We were so disappointed that our view was of the back of the main home, not the beach and would not have chosen to stay here had we known that. The grounds themselves are very nice and seem to be well secured. My only request of the owners, please show honest pictures of the suite(where it's situated on the property), the view from the suite and advise in the description this isn't beach front it's behind the main home, so people can make an informed decision when they are choosing where to stay on their vacation.

    We had the best vacation! The property, location and beach were fantastic. The apartment and property were very clean. Karen and Otonio maintain the property and kept everything beautiful. María was fantastic to communicate with. You can’t find a better location. Close enough to town but far enough away for quiet time. We will most definitely return

    Such a beautiful place to stay - our own little paradise! Maria was very helpful with check-in and setting up surf lessons for us right outside the house on the beach. We planned on seeing so much more of Costa Rica but this property was just too beautiful and we didn't want to leave. Karen the housekeeper was also very friendly and helpful. Everything was as described and we can't wait to return! Pura Vida!

    This is a perfect location. It's quiet in the yard with your own private pool and outside eating area, and yet it's walkable to town and all the action at the restaurants/bars. We loved our vacation and this place! Great communication with the property manager Maria. She arranged our transportation to/from the airport. Loved Costa Rica!!! We felt safe and enjoyed our vacation and will definitely return.
