Stayed Jan 24, 2026If we could, we would give this home, property and owners a TWENTY STAR!!! Immaculate and perfect location to the estuary and ocean. One could not ask for more. The rooms each had their own bathroom which allowed for privacy for our family of 11. The outdoor kitchen and eating area with pergola was a perfect gathering place for our shared meals. We had three young children, and they were welcomed! The pool was perfect and very clean. At night being able to have a place for a cozy fire and conversation made it all more special. There were several restaurants within walking distance, but you are not in the crazy downtown area, which was perfect! We rented a golf cart, which would be all you would ever need in Tamarindo. The outdoor shower was so helpful. Toni answered every question immediately! The owner, Miguel (spelling?) lives nearby and was the most welcoming host we have ever had in over 20 years of using rentals. My family thanks you!!!

Stayed Nov 22, 2025Difficult to find off of the main road, but once we found it it was a great location for us. We walked 8 minutes down the beach every morning and evening to play volleyball at the courts. This was super special for our group. The house is Next door to Pengas beach club, the best restaurant in town!!!! Nearly every morning the howler Monkeys made their way through our back yard around 630 am !!! That was the coolest experience. The only complaints we have are the smells of the kitchen, which is veryyyyy small and was not ideal to be in. The water pressure is very low, and the close proximity to the main road can keep you up at night because of how loud it is when trucks drive by. Overall it’s a fair price and great location in tamarindo.

Stayed Jul 7, 2025The views and gardens of the property were amazing, the access to the beach and the river were great and we have so much fun in a quiet spaces sharing with nature. If somebody like Thai cooking there is a tree of kefir lime on the property. They took care of us getting kayaks ready, fire pit and wood ready and we enjoy all this property has to offer, we are planning on making this a regular stop on our future visits

Stayed Mar 6, 2025We made plans to come down for a long weekend with friends and Tamarindo did not disappoint. The only set plans we made was the Vrbo reservation and a fishing charter for one day. Toni met us at the house and showed us around. The views are incredible from the backyard. On the first day we took an estuary charter with some of the locals that are around the corner. Everything you need is right there. We chose to walk everywhere but you could very easily rent a golf cart or car. We will definitely be coming back!

Stayed Jan 4, 2025Loved it! If you are looking for something the opposite of a resort, this is it. The backyard garden is amazing. Views up the river and of the rivermouth and ocean. Lots of trees and a well maintained garden. We had monkeys in the yard most days, as well as iguana, parakeets, green parrots and other birds. Sitting in the yard in the morning was my favorite part of the stay. It is an easy walk along the beach to all the great restaurants. Host was responsive. Housekeeping twice during week.What you need to know before you rent this place:- There is only AC in the bedrooms, not in the common areas/kitchen.- The kitchen is small, ceiling is low, had to duck under beams in the kitchen. No AC in kitchen, foods on counter spoil fast. If you are a group that likes to cook meals where you stay, this may not be the place.-The house sits just off the main road coming into Tama and the truck noise in the morning is very loud. Some rooms were worse than others.- One room had a family of small land crabs living in a bathroom. They don't bother you, but can surprise you when you enter.- Wildlife in the backyard means wildlife excrement. Monkeys in trees above you may deficate or urinate. We had monkey crap on our car several days and almost got bombed a couple of times sitting around the firepit.- The family that owns the house lives on the adjacent property and they use the driveway/gate. They were nice, no issues.I will return. The Costa Rica experience I wanted!

Stayed Dec 27, 2024This was the perfect place for 6 days with family of all ages. The house, the grounds, the beach, the town, the estuary were both relaxing and fun.

Stayed Dec 20, 2024This is an amazing property in the perfect location. The garden that surrounds the house is so beautiful and you are literally right on the beach within walking distance of dozens of restaurants and shops. We saw (and heard) howler monkeys right in the backyard. If you’re staying over a Saturday there is a charming open market in town. We can’t recommend this property enough. I will say we have three older kids - there is no indoor common area - which was fine for us as we spent all of our time outdoors. But each room is an individual room with a separate locked door - which might be a challenge for families with younger children. That being said we would stay at this property anytime we returned to Tamarindo. Toni was amazing to work with and helped us book activities. The horseback riding she booked for us arrived with the horses on the beach outside the gate to the property. Pretty magical experience. We are so thankful! Pura Vida.

Stayed Jan 15, 2024We were struck by the beauty of the outdoor spaces at La Choza del Estero. All of the seating areas were very welcoming - all 10 members of my family loved congregating under the pagoda or on the adirondack chairs that surround the fire pit. We were able to watch the howler monkeys and the iguanas climb the trees in the garden - it was so relaxing and entertaining! The bedrooms were very comfortable. We all slept very well and enjoyed the coolness that the AC provided when a short reprieve from the midday heat was in order. The housekeeper was available nearly every day with clean towels, trash removal and laundry services if desired. We took advantage of that service on two different days. The hosts were also exceedingly responsive to our suggestions. We suggested the addition of some kitchen items and, to our surprise, the host acquired many of those items the next day. It is easy to walk to everything that Tamarindo has to offer from this house. We had initially considered renting a golf cart but it really wasn't necessary and I'm glad we didn't. There are plenty of small shops and cafes to see and stop in if you're on foot. Conversely, walking on the beach is always an amazing option.... Thank you Mary and Miguel!

Stayed Jan 6, 2024Our group of 11 had a wonderful stay. Mary and her family were excellent hosts responding quickly to every request. The house has beautiful grounds and a quiet beach out front near the estuary that includes a beautiful spot to watch the sunset. You are also just a few minutes walk from all the action on the beach along with local bars and restaurants. We would definitely stay here on our next trip to Costa Rica!

Stayed Jan 3, 2024The property was wonderful and Mary and her family were very accommodating. The house was perfect for my family. All five of us had our own room and bathroom. The property was a large beautiful property next to the beach. You can walk down the beach to the town and all of the activities in Tamarindo. We were visited by about a dozen howler monkeys one day. Absolutely loved our stay here.
