Beachfront vacation rentals in Tamarindo

This was by far one of the most beautiful AirBnB's we've every stayed at. It really felt like a mini resort. We had two families, and everyone was able to have their own room and space. Most of our time was spent in the gorgeous pool or in the outdoor kitchen. The pictures are accurate, but everything is more wonderful than the pictures. There is wildlife everywhere - gorgeous birds, geckos, howler monkeys down the street. The pantry off the kitchen protects your food, and we had no problems with bugs (we were told it was the time of year). We did have a couple of friendly birds that begged for food, but they were amusing to watch. The location, though remote, is in a gated community and was very safe. It was only a 10 minute walk to a beach that seemd almost private...not more than a few dozen people at a time on a beach that had to stretch for a mile. Do not hesitate to rent this place!!!

Great location, comfortable layout and very well stocked with all the household necessities.

We stayed here for a group birthday party of 12 adults and it fit our needs perfectly for our mix of couples and singles.
The area of Potrero was exactly what we wanted, not too busy, but with some good restaurants and a close by market for essentials. The house itself is at the end of a quiet street and very peaceful. The elevated pool is a really unique feature and we made good use of it to watch sunsets and generally relax. Marvin the caretaker kept the house very clean, and Alexa our host helped us arrange several excursions, as well as a private chef who cooked the birthday dinner, highly recommend! We did the following excursions: Rio Celeste tour, which included a trip to see sloths in a wildlife preserve; ziplines; a private yoga session on the patio overlooking the ocean; and a tour of a coffee roaster. All were excellent, with great tour guides / hosts, and the whole group loved them. Thank you so much for a great experience

Spring break 2025 at Casa Olivia was absolutely perfect for our family!! It was a treat to stay at an amazing house in the relaxed and friendly beach town. Walking the beach, surfing and swimming in the ocean with so many quirky, delicious small bars and restaurants was the definition of a laid back beach vacay. We elected to have breakfasts and most dinners prepared by the house manager and her team, and it was an amazing option. Delicious fresh fruit every morning, local dishes all homemade. All nine of us loved the meals. Morena - the ‘house dog’ became a member of our family taking long walks on the beach with us, and kept us company with her happy disposition. Located in the national park, the.beach was pristine, vast and so much wildlife. We even saw a giant green turtle lay her eggs. The host and staff were responsive, friendly, helpful and made our relaxing beach vacation … easy and relaxing. Thank you!!!

This house is situated on a fantastic, uncrowded beach. It stretches on for long beach walks, the sand is soft, the waves are perfect for boogie boarding, and the water temperature is warm. Each day of our stay we boogied boarded for hours with maybe 15 other people in sight. In the evening there are beautiful sunsets. The outdoor space of the house is great for cooling off in the small pool or relaxing in the hammock. The house is located in a gated community inhabited by tourists, so in order to experience authentic Costa Rican restaurants or culture one must drive to a neighboring town about 15 minutes away. The house itself is as described but be aware no amenities (shampoo) are provided with the exception of small soap discs. The beach itself made our stay wonderful.

Our stay at Jarrod’s place was incredible! Best vacation house you could ask for. Perfect location right on the beach but still super private. Having a swimming pool right on the ocean is about as good as it gets, we usually spend most of our vacation time at the beach but this house was so great we wound up spending more time by the pool. Also the house is stocked very well, everything an Airbnb/rental house should have this house has. Jarrod was very accommodating and helped us with transportation and Covid testing at the house. I highly recommend this to anyone visiting the Playa Negra area! We will definitely be coming back!

We had a wonderful stay! The layout was perfect for us with a fantastic view of the ocean. The kitchen was well appointed as we had inhouse chef for three of our nights. We would stay here again. The condo had all the qualities we were looking for.

Our stay was absolutely perfect! The location couldn’t be better, just steps from the beautiful beach. We were warmly greeted upon arrival with a tour of the home, which was spotless and perfectly set up for our family. Everything we needed for the beach, towels, chairs, and more was provided. Any questions we had about the area were answered quickly and helpfully. This place is now incredibly special to our family as our daughter got engaged here during our stay! We would stay here again and again — highly recommend!

5 Stars – Unforgettable Beachside Retreat! We had an absolutely fantastic stay at this beautiful home in Palm Beach Estates! Dirk was an exceptional host—always quick to respond and incredibly helpful throughout our visit. The house is just steps from the beach, making it easy to enjoy the ocean anytime. We especially loved the outdoor grill area—it was perfect for cooking up the fresh red snapper we got from the local fish truck. So delicious! The pool was a major highlight for our family. The colorful lights at night made it feel magical, and we spent many evenings playing Marco Polo with our girls—such great memories. The property was clean, comfortable, and well-equipped with everything we needed. The neighborhood felt safe and peaceful, with great access to local spots and the beach just around the corner. We can’t wait to come back and highly recommend this gem to anyone looking for a memorable beach getaway!

The home was absolutely beautiful! It was very clean, well stocked, and fairly close to the beach and town. We would definitely stay here again.

Muy lindo el departamento, muy cómodo para mi familia de 6. Las vistas del departamento son increíbles. El departamento muy bien decorado y todo funcionaba muy bien. Esta a 5 minutos de auto del centro de Tamarindo, en una área un poco mas tranquila. Excelente estadía.

Let me just start with THE PICTURES DOESN’T DO THIS PLACE JUSTICE! As soon as you walk in your met with a stunning oceanfront view! They provided welcome gifts, and everything was spotless! This is such a hidden gem!! Don’t hesitate BOOK!!

Un lugar muy acogedor fuimos con mi bebé y nos encantó el lugar. También el acceso a la casa club y la playa

Excellent property for our party of five. The property was clean and spacious and the views from the patio and balcony are outstanding. We had a few minor issues trying to work the TVs and the lighting in the master bedroom was slightly dim. Overall everything was great. Will book this property again in the future!

We stayed here with another family—10 of us total with kids ranging from 7 to 13—and absolutely loved it! The house was amazing. Everyone had plenty of space to spread out, but the real magic happened in the outdoor area where we all came together to eat, swim, and hang out. The kids would've spent all day in the pool and at the beach. We even got to watch March Madness, which was a huge bonus! The hosts were super communicative and helpful throughout our stay, and Jenny the housekeeper was wonderful—so sweet and welcoming. Her gallo pinto for breakfast was delicious and worth organizing. The only downside was the road leading off the highway into Hacienda Pinilla—definitely the roughest stretch we encountered during our trip across the country. It’s still accessible by 4x4 and even a car, just something to be aware of. Overall, we had an incredible stay and would absolutely come back. Highly recommend for families or groups traveling together!

We had an amazing stay at Jay’s place in Las Catalinas! From the moment we arrived, Jay was incredibly welcoming and helpful. He provided fantastic recommendations for things to do and see in the area, which made our trip even better. Additionally, he helped arrange for a shuttle service from airport. Everything was so easy. The place itself was just as described – if not even better! It was clean, comfortable, and exactly what we were hoping for. Jay was always super responsive, which made the whole experience smooth and stress-free. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Las Catalinas. Thanks, Jay, for such a wonderful stay!

Beautiful home! Beach is perfect to relax and get away from big crowds.

Beautiful cabin with an excellent location overlooking Playa Callejones! There is a nice lookout area and just a short walk down to the beach. The cabin was perfect for our group and is a great spot for a relaxing break. Beatrice was great and communicated all information clearly and responded quickly to help us sort out a small issue. Would definitely visit again!

Lauren's place is a true slice of paradise! It's perfectly sized for a couple in a nice secluded area tucked behind one of the most desolate, beautiful beaches we'd ever seen with our own private walkway to get there. The yard is huge and gorgeous! You can hear the ocean waves from the yard making it a super peaceful retreat. The kitchen was very well stocked for us to cook meals and even make fresh batidos every day! Junquillal is a beautiful beach and is a 45 minute drive (or less) to Tamarindo, but a significantly quieter area if that's what you're looking for. We'd highly recommend the place and would love to stay again!!

Excelente ubicación y fácil de llegar. Muy buena comunicación y flexibilidad de horario. La casa muy limpia y muy bien equipada

Centrally located and easy to get to the store, beach club and restaurants. It was clean and comfortable. Easy to work with Casey!

Great place, very clean and quiet. The pool area is lovely.

Superbe adresse, nous aurions voulu rester plus longtemps. L'endroit est parfaitement propre, fonctionnel et équipé: lit king size avec la clim qui ne souffle pas directement dans le visage, terrasse privée sans vis-à-vis, tout le nécessaire pour cuisiner, chiens et chat adorables... Notre meilleure location au Costa Rica 👌

Awesome place to stay! Beautiful view! A short walk to the beach and some local shops - it is a steep hill, but there are stairs. Staff and other guests were extremely helpful and friendly. There was more than enough room for our family of four. When we needed assistance with an air conditioner, Floribeth was quick to respond, and had a repair person there in no time - problem fixed immediately. We were not planning on returning to Costa Rica, but after our stay, we fell in love with the area and people, and can't wait to return. Floribeth gave us precise directions, found it right away. You will not want to leave here. Thank you Floribeth!!
