About this property

Welcome to Playa Tamarindo, one of Costa Rica’s most breathtaking surfing and fishing hotspots! Just 45 minutes from Liberia Airport, this vibrant, Spanish-style retreat offers the perfect mix of comfort, charm, and adventure.

Picture yourself in a colorful two-story condo with Mediterranean exteriors and traditional terracotta roofs, where iguanas often sunbathe and nature is right at your doorstep. The lush courtyard is your own private paradise, complete with a sparkling pool, lounging areas, and a thatched cabana with Wi-Fi for staying connected. And don’t be surprised if you spot playful howler monkeys swinging by—just grab your camera and enjoy the show!

When it’s time to explore, you’re just a short walk from some of the best dining and shopping in town. Whether you crave local flavors, fresh seafood, or international cuisine, Playa Tamarindo has it all. And for adventure lovers, the list of activities is endless—surfing, boating, fishing, horseback riding, windsurfing, ATV tours, and more.

But the real magic happens at sunset. Every evening, the sky puts on a spectacular show, whether you’re strolling along the beach, cruising on the water, or chilling with a cocktail at a beachfront bar. Don’t forget to capture that perfect sunset shot!

As the sun sets, the town comes alive with nightlife, or you can enjoy a cozy meal at home with fresh produce from the local farmers' market. And if you’re in the mood to dance, there’s always a lively dance floor waiting for you.

Learn a few local phrases like ‘tranquilo,’ ‘Pura Vida,’ and ‘con mucho gusto,’ and you’ll feel like a true local in no time. Your tropical adventure in Playa Tamarindo awaits!

Disliked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, listing accuracy

It is all about the communication.

Paper work said check in is 2pm and out at 11am. PM said that is incorrect check in is at 3pm and out is at 10am. Fans on main floor did not work well. Ants on wall in second bedroom. Batteries were dead in the remotes. One had corrosion on it already. Remote for the fan on main floor was already broken and fixed and PM said that maintenance crew stated it was all working fine. Not if you can not sleep in one bedroom due to the ants and the main floor has not A/C and the fans barely work and it is a choice of on with a light or not on at all. Took two of the four day stay to get this cleared up by installing a portable A/C unit on main floor. This wifi would cut out all the time. We were in CR for 15 days and stayed at 5 different places. Some were more expensive and some less. One was in the jungle with no A/C and windows stayed open at night. Never had ants anywhere else. I do not like to be the person that complains but the PM company was not communicating well at all. Was considering purchasing property in CR but would not leave an investment of that type with this PM company to manage. My apologizes to the owner but we reached out to you once, stated that we hoped your PM was keeping you up to date on the issues. Never heard back from you either. It is all about communication, keep me up to date on the issue and what you are doing to resolve them and then follow through. Yes the PM stated that it is difficult to find things in CR. Funny while I was on the beach I looked on Amazon and found a new remote. With Prime I could have had it delivered the next day. Not that hard if you try. The complex was nice and the pool was clean it was quite inside the gated community and the security was there at night. Pura Vida this incident did not define our trip but it did leave a bad taste.

Lovely Townhome

The place was clean and conveniently located, close to the restaurant and a short walk from the beach. One things that needs an update is some of the appliances like the coffee maker and new towels. The towels were very old, it would be nice if they can provide beach and house towels. Other than that love the townhome, sometime I read by the swimming pool and was lovely. Also I like the fact that there is security all the time, no that there is danger but it is nice that they are there, and they let you know they go around the complex.

Spanish flair mixed with an intoxicating feeling of romanticism. An oasis of monkeys and trees.

Be ready to be woken up by the monkeys and end your day by swimming on the exquisite little pool before going to watch the sunset on the beach a few blocks away. Don't forget to grab a cold Imperial from the local spot.

About the host

Hosted by Courtney Sloane

I am a native of the greater New York metropolitan area. I visited Costa Rica 20 years ago and had the pleasure of being introduced to the country by a native family. I was so moved by its beauty and the warmth of the 'Tico' peoples, I promised myself I would return often and later live in this wonderful place.
Tamarindo was one of the first places I visited on that trip and it left an indelible mark because I found myself crying as I boarded the plane back to my beloved New York. My love of nature and beaches, yoga, paddle boarding, jogging, biking, and tennis--all sports in abundance in the area are what drew me to Tamarindo.
As an interior designer for the last 20 years, I've completed projects all around the world. Design, food, art, and travel are my sweet spots. I am currently learning Spanish and Salsa dancing, working in the US, and manufacturing products using local skilled craftspeople in several Central American countries.

Why they chose this property

We wanted to be sure to to stay connected to Costa Rica and maintain the ability to visit whenever time allowed, so finding the right spot was very important. After looking at many condo, we were charmed and fell in love with the authenticity of the architecture and the easy care simplicity of both the interior. The exterior from the cacti bollard, to the mission style entry gate to the lush vegetation of the courtyard made Pueblo del Mar a perfect match.
The pueblo on a quiet street is conveniently (3 city blocks) located near the center of town where the beach, restaurants , nightclubs, and adventure tours await you. We often have friends or family visit with us and--several have also bought property there--and like many others before and since, our wedding was celebrated there in 2007.

What makes this property unique

We are awakened each morning, no matter the season, to the sound of the holla monkeys and countless bird songs. Each Mediterranean colored, two-story villa is topped with authentic terracotta tiles where you can often see iquana sunning in the early morning. Look up in the mornings and evenings and there is the holla monkey family. Be respectful of their space and you will be able to take lots of picturesque photos.
Eat in or out as we have a full kitchen in which to prepare your own meals. You can take a dip in the organic shaped pool to cool off after relaxing in the lounge chairs, meet other friendly neighbors or catch up on emails in the shade of the WiFi-connected cabana. Daily maid service is available should you require.
