Where you’ll be

Tamarindo, Guanacaste, Costa Rica

Tamarindo is a fun surfer town with lots of restaurants and nightlife to choose from. Our beach is one of the longest, most beautiful beaches in Costa Rica and is perfect for beach walks. It is also located near many other surf breaks which makes it a great hub if you are on a surf vacation. Tamarindo has a little something for everyone so it the ideal choice for your Costa Rican adventure.
Casa de Arroz is located 150 meters (1.5 blocks) from the center of town but on a dead end street up a small hill. The house itself is surrounded by tropical jungle, which creates a quiet and relaxing atmosphere.

My work: Casa de Arroz Property Management & HandleBar Tamarindo
Speaks English and Spanish
We met in Tamarindo in 2012, Katie having been in Costa Rica since 2003, and Happy since 2010. In 2015 we bought and renovated Casa de Arroz. We have been building our property management company and hosting on Airbnb since then! In 2020 we decided to open the “HandleBar” located in down town Tamarindo. Specializing in bicycles, craft beer and wine, we dedicated to helping tourists and locals use bicycles as their primary transportation! Because there’s no better way to see the local community than on a bike!
