House vacation rentals in Gulf of Papagayo

Such an amazing spot. The pool was fantastic and the location was so accessible as many of the reviews have stated. We could walk right into town, to the beach and still get back to a quiet location after a full day. The kids had a blast and we would definitely come back.

This was a wonderful place to stay. It had all we needed and loved the pool and barbecue area as well. Jorge and his family made us feel welcome and even took us to the store when we got there. He surprised us with fresh watermelon, coconuts and honeycomb! There is much to do in the area such as swimming, hiking the volcano area, horseback riding, zip lining and resting in the natural hot springs. We had a wonderful time and plan to come back. Thank you.

The house is beautiful, as seen in the photos, it is a quiet area, the attention from the hosts was excellent, we always got a quick response to our questions, everything very clean, the instructions for access very clear, everything worked perfectly, I recommend it 100%, we had a great time!

What a peaceful and relaxing few days away from the city. I had my mum and aunt visiting me in Costa Rica so we rented this beautiful house for 5 nights. It's always such a nice surprise to rent a home that is so well maintained and equipped. We had everything we needed to make meals, to lounge around the pool and to have restful nights sleep. The beds were extremely comfortable, the pool was amazing and the location can't be beat. The best part for me was that this beautiful home was pet-friendly. The neighbourhood was perfect and safe for walking my god boy Gordie. Another perk is that Gracia Mar Vista, an excellent restaurant with an amazing view, is just a short distance away. I would stay here again in a heartbeat and wouldn't change a thing. I highly recommend Alejandro's place.

We were 3 couples, 2 rooms had their own bathroom which was wonderful. It is a condominium of separate houses (it is not a tower building), the pool and BBQ area is shared, very quiet. The property is gated, so entry and exit is very safe. It's a perfect location to avoid the hustle and bustle of the city centers, and even the route to get there is quite quiet.

The common areas are quite large, and the rooms are also super spacious. Overall everything was good, the recommendations of local restaurants with delivery helped us a lot.

The absolute perfect stay for Costa Rica. It’s about a 7-10 minute walk to all the restaurants and shops you could want, there’s a gym right around the corner for a week or day pass, and a super market and multiple coffee shops within 5 minutes. The pool and house were phenomenal!

Excellent location and Esteban is friendly, the place is the same as the photos. I would definitely stay at the place again.

The house is very nice, the location is excellent.

Our group loved the place! All the bedrooms being en-suites was a BIG plus for us. Loved the view & the pool! Gated community was peaceful and very centric.

We had an amazing stay at Casa Redonda! This place is truly a gem, its located right in town but behind the entry gates you have your own private oasis separated from all the craziness. It really made our experience in Tamarindo unforgettable. Everything looks recently renovated, the AC keeps the place super cool, and we had more than enough space for our group of 8 guys. The manager Ale was wonderful and helped us out with anything we needed. Would definitely recommend for anyone looking for premium accommodations for a large group.

This location is IDEAL for multiple families (parties of 6-11ish). We were only 4 folks, and this was FAR more than necessary, but what we were hoping for. Andres and his staff are absolutely fantastic, very responsive, and super friendly.

We really enjoyed our stay @ Arlene & Ken's! Santa Cruz is a cute town, kind of away from the hustle & bustle, but close enough to drive to a closeby town. Christian was helpful in getting a pool cleaner over & making the pool pristine! We appreciated the beach chairs, beach towels and boogie boards. We'll be back, Santa Cruz, Pura Vida!

We had a fantastic stay! The house was very comfortable and spacious for our group of 11. The pool and outdoor lounge area were perfect for relaxing, and the location was great—close to restaurants, with one beach within walking distance and others just a short drive away. The gated property and alarm system made us feel very safe. Highly recommend for a fun and stress-free getaway!

We loved our time at Casa Lonestar! The management team was very responsive. We had some issues with water, both pressure and availability, but when we reached out to management, they sent someone quickly who offered support. The location is incredible, and there are excellent restaurants and beaches in easy walking distance. It also offers privacy and seclusion. The pool was incredible and it’s shaded in the afternoon which is really nice when it’s super hot on the beach! We highly recommend breakfast at Pots and Bowls and dinner at both Rip Jack Inn and Surf Dog. Make sure to pack your own shampoo and conditioner, and do some research on grocery stores if you plan on cooking in the house. Finding groceries was really challenging. Also, if you work with the fish guy, Frank, do it ahead of time not for the day you need the fish! Overall, we loved the place! Cheers and Pura Vida!

Great spot right in the middle of marbella easy walk to the store. the beach is a little further but still walkable. Red has e-bikes for rent that make everything a-lot more accessible. The pool and half pipe are awesome additions! Red was a great host can help you with anything you need. Already planning our next trip here! Cant wait to come back to this amazing place.

The perfect spot in Tamarindo. We absolutely loved the space! We cooked breakfast each morning and had fantastic sleeps with the quiet neighborhood, comfortable beds and AC. The pool is fantastic and we really appreciated the short walk to the beach and town area. Having a quiet oasis to escape to was perfect and we cannot recommend this place enough. We’d would absolutely stay here again!

Great place to spend a relaxing vacation. Douglas was very responsive and the property was in a beautiful location. If you arent familiar with Costa Rica, be prepared the roads and long travel times. The location is in a beautiful location, but doesnt have alot of locations near the property. We were looking for that so it was perfect. Douglas' instructions and recommendations were very helpful and we really enjoyed the pool on property. We also had private chefs and massages on site which were great.

We had an absolutely fantastic time at Arbel’s house in Tamarindo! The property was stunning—clean, spacious, and beautifully designed with all the amenities we needed for a perfect vacation. The pool was a highlight, and the location was ideal, just a quick drive to the beach, restaurants, and shops. Arbel was an exceptional host, going above and beyond to make our stay memorable. Communication was prompt and friendly, making us feel truly welcomed. We’d highly recommend Arbel’s place to anyone visiting Tamarindo and can’t wait to return

A Peaceful Getaway Near the Beach It was a beautiful house close to the beach, and it was the perfect mix of tranquility and convenience. Surrounded by nature, the property offered a private and peaceful retreat, ideal for relaxation. Despite the secluded feel, it was just a short distance from town, making it easy to access restaurants and any essentials. For us was perfect because we were looking for a quiet escape or a balance between nature and accessibility, this place offers the best of both worlds! Looking forward to visit again.

We stayed at Johan's place from Feb 1st-8th. Their place is exactly like the pictures. They have it fully equipped which is great when you're "away from home but it feels like home!" It's in a gated community so you feel safe and close to everything. We really enjoyed the terrace and the pool! Thanks so much for having us!!

The first thing I thought when walking in was that everything looks exactly like the pictures. The place was spotless and the neighborhood is perfectly private and quiet. Security was attentive and friendly. You will definitely need a car to get around because the property is about 5-10 minutes from Tamarindo beach. It's a great location for a quiet relaxing getaway with a short drive to shopping, dining, and night life. We stayed for a week and would definitely come back next time we visit Costa Rica. We even saw a few howler monkeys in the nearby trees! Also, the water pressure and temperature were fantastic. No complaints at all.

We looked for a nice place away from the city and we found this nice villa like inside the jungle quite and pastoral , my partner loved it so much we will visit there for sure at the near future,

Our crew had a great 5 days at this property. The salt water pool was lovely and the kitchen was well stocked with everything you need. It’s easy to find, and since we cooked most meals at home, the grocery store at the end of the street was helpful. Remember, beach parking is free in Costa Rica.
