Casa Tranquila- spacious and quiet 3 bedroom villa with pool

This is a special place. It is nestled in a very quiet, private area. There were howler monkeys in the trees in the backyard. The pool is beautiful and we loved starting and ending our days with a cool swim. The house is quite spacious and comfortable. There were 6 of us, and there was plenty of comfortable space for everyone. We cooked most of our meals in the fully equipped kitchen (grocery shopped in Tamarindo).We spent 2 weeks here, most of our days on the beach at Playa Marbella, about a 20 minute drive south. A beautiful, mellow beach with places to park in the shade. There's a great little bar/restaurant just off the beach (Tiki Hut). In under an hour to the north you have Tamarindo (busy and touristy ... but there is a fantastic local market every Saturday)....and to the south there is Nosara and Samara which are more mellow and charming.The staff at Amapola Vacation Rentals were quick to respond to messages. Good communication. Check in was easy.If you're looking for a quiet, private space surrounded by wildlife and tranquility ... yet easy access to beaches and surrounding amenities, this is the place.

This was our second stay at Casa Tranquila and we’ve loved it each time. The home is well suited for our family of five. The pool was fantastic and made for hours of enjoyment. The property is beautiful and makes it very easy to enjoy time away from the hustle and bustle. Would recommend to anyone who wants to be a little further from the typical touristy locations but still minutes from great beaches and great restaurants.

This was our second stay at this property and again it delivered! We love this house, its location away from the hustle and bustle of more touristy locations, and especially loved the pool. For a quiet family getaway, Casa Tranquilla can’t be beat. We will definitely consider staying here again for our next trip to Costa Rica!

Wonderful spacious home. Beautiful backyard. Monkeys joined us daily. We had a wonderful stay.

Completely what I wanted. Not looking for the next cabo... this place was practically perfect.Fully equipped ( I suggested to manager to get a stick vacuum and microwave) and ready to go.Super happy they had games available like Catan for the evenings.Ac was fine (upgrade ceiling fans would cut down on AC costs) ... very comfortable.Pool is salt water - excellentEven had a collection of DVDs and player for my kid!!Absolutely ZERO complaints... I can always recommend improvements but I was VERY happy with my stay!I would DEFINATELY stay again.Suggestion - need a car and I recommend an SUV. Ask georgina (prop mgr) or go directly to Luis Badilla (georgina recommended him)at economy - he was great... not cheap (insurance in CR is )... but luis made life easier for me.Kudos to prop mgr Georgina, Paulo (grounds keeper) and the cleaning ladies (reasonable price and good work)

The pool was a quiet and joyful sanctuary that seemed to float in the middle of the forest. The house was spacious, the windows large enough to allow massive amounts of welcome sunlight. Can't recommend it enough.

Overall the property was great to stay at. The house was exactly as advertised and was perfect for our needs. The pool was amazing and we used it every chance we could during our week long stay. My only complaints: the air conditioning units in the bedrooms work, but could probably use some maintenance or a replacement. Second, all the markings on the stove were worn off so it was a guessing game on what knob did what. Overall, we would definitely stay at this home again next time we visit Costa Rica.

The house was very spacious and clean with comfortable furniture and everything needed for a fun comfortable stay. The kitchen was fully equipped with plenty of dishes and appliances including a vitamix for tropical daiquiris. There were lots of nice towels, bedding and extra blankets and even a fun floatie for the beautiful pool. There were soaps, coffee and some basic condiments to get us started and we were so grateful we tried to replenish everything we used. There is a lounge area at the end of the pool with two comfy hammocks and the BBQ area had an outdoor sink to clean up as well. Ther grounds are well maintained with a variety of flowering trees and bushes which was food for a local howler monkey family and beautiful hummingbirds. I love this vacation home and would stay here again if we get to come back to Costa Rica without hesitation.

Beautiful property in the dry forest and a 20 minute walk down to a lightly-trafficked beach with a very local feel. The house is not near the hustle and bustle of major beaches. It is very private and has a nice pool for cooling off and relaxing.

This place was perfect for our group of 7. We used Google Maps and it took us right to the property. The property manager was very responsive and friendly and the house was clean and ready for our visit. It's in a very quiet area with an easy walk to an awesome beach, good for sunsets. We hope to return!
