Luxury Oceanfront Offering In Gated Community

The house was stunning. The property manager, Mauricio, was super attentive and invested in our experience. He handled all of the logistics when it came to booking experiences and our chefs. The chefs! I seriously contemplated putting one of them on payroll and bringing them home with me. Food was phenomenal. Our family will be doing this again. Thanks Casa Islita crew!

We had a great time at Casa Islita. It was a second time there and we hope we will return. Everything was great.

Our family of 11 was so comfortable in the spacious Casa Islita. We never tired of the view of the bay. We enjoyed the easy walk to the amazing beach and took advantage of the services at Langosta Beach Club. Our daily breakfast was prepared by an incredible staff. We appreciated their warmth and friendliness. The beauty, safety, and all conveniences created a wonderful week in lovely Costa Rica!!

This home was wonderful! Beautifully appointed, meticulously clean, wonderful location and an amazing view of the bay dotted with boats. The house staff made scrumptious breakfasts and made sure we had what ever we needed. A short walk down the beach was Langosta Beach Club which was an additional feature we really enjoyed-especially the groups of monkeys that seemed to pass through during lunch time. We hated to leave this little slice of paradise!!

This home has got to be the coolest place I have ever stayed at. The large open layout of the home with walkout directly to an amazing patio and pool is one of a kind. The meals were amazing and a great way to start the morning. Highly recommend the pancakes and french toast. It was phenomenal. Our concierge Mauricio was fast and efficient at scheduling and getting everything set up in a very timely fashion. (We requested mopeds for 7 the day after we arrived and they were delivered within an hour.) All in all, this place is a must for anyone who wants to really enjoy their stay in Tamarindo.

Out of this world

We stayed at Casa Islita for two weeks. The house was beautiful, clean and comfortable. It is every bit as nice as the photos show. We traveled with 6 couples and the layout of the house was just right for our group. The left and right side of the house are mirror layouts in terms of the bedrooms. There was no bad bedroom. Mary Luz and Heiner (house staff) were fantastic. They had coffee for us in the morning and kept everything so clean. Breakfasts were delicious and varied each day of the week. The house had everything we needed for our large group including a huge refrigerator and two washer/dryers. We cooked a few night and the kitchen supplies were great. A bit about the rainy season: We looked at the weather before the trip and every day called for rain. We didn't know what to expect, but as it turns out we would not hesitate to travel in late June/July again. Most days there was a shower at some point, but it didn't disrupt any of our planned excursions. We had one big thunderstorm on a Friday night which caused us to cancel dinner reservations, and that was it. We brought towels with us on outings in the golf carts to dry off the seats in case it rained at all. The rain was a relief from the heat. Just be sure to use bug spray at night! Lastly, our concierge Mauricio made sure everything went smoothly. We set up several excursions and reservations in advance (and we highly recommend getting golf carts) but had to make some changes throughout our stay. Mauricio always responded immediately to our requests and it made scheduling so much easier. As far as excursions we did catamaran tour, fishing both deep and shallow, signature adventure waterfall/tubing, estuary tour, ziplining, ATV and Jetski. There was definitely something for everyone. Lastly, we felt very safe during our stay as security was present and visible and the house has a gate and alarm.

As many have mentioned, this home is ideal for multiple families or multi-generational family stays. We were 6 couples and this home was ideal for our group as well. Each couple having their own on-suite provided both privacy and comfort, and the “great room” and outdoor living areas provided the communal areas to enjoy with each other. Morning coffee in the Adirondack chairs out on the bluff overlooking the Tamarindo Bay was a favorite pass time. We scheduled several in-home services - three dinners (one on arrival which I would highly recommend), yoga, and jewelry making. All exceptional. Mary Luz and Heiner are wonderful care takers - breakfast every morning, cleaning up after us, and even doing our laundry. We had one wheelchair bound guest in our group and the home was well suited being one level and with a few small changes would be perfect. Our concierge was changed mid-stream from Andrea to Mauricio, and he did an excellent job. He provided excellent recommendations for activities, probably the best being the day the gentlemen went sport fishing and the ladies went to the Altos de Eros Spa - both we would highly recommend.

6 couples stayed very comfortably at Casa Islita, the staff was top notch, views were amazing, proximity was perfect!

We had two families together for spring break that totaled 13 people. The house had plenty of rooms/beds for everyone. Casa Islita is a beautiful home in a well located, gated community. We always felt safe, secluded from the craziness but also close to everything. Sandra (house manager) and Andrea (concierge) were SO helpful; we got so many recommendations and reservations through their network, our weekly itinerary was perfection. We had local chefs prepare dinner a few of the nights and it was outstanding. The staff at the house, Mary Lou and Heiner, were just wonderful. The house was always immaculate and they made the most amazing breakfast every morning. Sandra, Andrea, Mary Lou & Heiner...THANK YOU! Pura Vida!
