Vacation rentals with a hot tub in Tamarindo

Wow!!!! Great stay at AirBnb in Octocal Beach. We visited Costa Rica for our daughter’s nuptials and indeed our stay at this AirBnb was an unforgettable experience. It was an upscale home away from home. The service was excellent! The atmosphere soothing yet vibrant, calm, and relaxing. The rooms were clean, spacious with stunning views. The amenities were top notch and every needed for a home away from home was readily available in the home. I highly recommend this AirBnb and my family I, look forward to the next opportunity to visit. Many thanks to our amazing host Alina.

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!

We just had an incredible week long stay at Casa Blanca for spring break. Three families with a total of 7 teenagers (13 people) stayed at this home and were more than comfortable. The outstanding service provided by our host, Collin made our time in Costa Rica even better. He gave us some top notch activity and tour suggestions, restaurant suggestions and even organized to meet us for a couple minutes to make sure we had everything we needed. It was so lovely having a house mom there and breakfast already cooking when we woke up for the day. Even better than that, we enjoyed getting back from our long day at an awesome excursion organized by Collin to a fridge full of cut up fruit, guacamole, salsa and a pitcher of mojitos. The house was spotless and well appointed. Tamarindo is a short drive away with plenty to do. I couldn’t recommend working with this host and enjoying this house more.

Great time for my family of five staying in both of the tiny houses on Diego's property. The howler monkeys visited us again and my kids enjoyed the hot tub. Playa Potrero is walkable to this private secure location and has everything we need for a simple beach vacation in a undiscovered beach in Costa Rica's dry forest. The location is great for Liberia airport and we were able to visit Tamarindo and Monteverde Cloud Forest in addition to enjoying the quiet Playa Potrero.

We had a great stay! The place was nice, clean, and just about 300 feet from the beach, with several other beaches nearby as well. The hosts were very friendly, responsive, and gave us a warm welcome. Highly recommend!

We really enjoyed our stay here! The villa was very spacious and comfortable, and had everything we needed. Would definitely book again.

Absolutely wonderful place to stay. Stephen was a most helpful host and assisted us in making all of our plans for a short but fantastic visit to Costa Rica. The house is just as advertised, clean and spacious. The views are out of this world and the access to amenities on the resort are perfect. Quick trip to local beaches and restaurants and we even had time to prepare a few meals in the kitchen. We followed all of Stephen’s advice including a half-day snorkeling trip with Juan Carlos which was a home run! I literally cannot say enough good things about the experience I had with Stephen and his beautiful home. I just followed the playbook he provided during our pre-visit telephone call and everything worked out beautifully. Playa Hermosa’s beach is breathtaking and Stephen made all the right restaurant recommendations! I was looking for a simple and fun trip for my family of five and thanks to Stephen my plan came to fruition. So relaxing!

The Enclave is the perfect little escape in Avellana. Steven, our host, was the best! The very first night he showed up and helped us set up a pack and play for our little one. He was helpful throughout the entire trip and a real highlight. My wife and I agreed the unit looked even better than the pictures. Great amenities, super safe, and the perfect spot if you’re traveling with the entire family. The pool is gorgeous and felt very safe with 24/7 security. You will definitely need to rent a car to get around the area and I don’t recommend driving much at night as the roads are filled with pot holes. Our 14-month had fun but I wouldn’t recommend traveling in this area with a younger child.

Cassie was hands down the best Airbnb host we've had! She was the most thoughtful and nicest host, sharing a wealth of information in the welcome letter prior to our arrival. In the letter, her and her husband thought of everything to include to make it such a welcome and comfortable stay! Their home is so beautiful and we are so thankful for them to share it with us. What stood out was Cassie's quick responses and going above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed for a perfect stay, even before we asked! For example, Cassie knew that we were traveling with our toddler and asked if there was anything else she could provide for our child. She arranged for a highchair to be delivered which was so helpful! She was so accommodating and the best host in the most beautiful home.

Pictures don’t do this place justice. It is so nice! Very secluded and peaceful yet only 5 minutes from town with the golf cart (big hills to get there so you need some type of transportation!). Communication with Marco and Todd was above and beyond, they made sure we had everything we needed. We hired the private chef for one night and it was amazing! Really loved our stay ♥️

Casa Serendipity was pure magic for our family. As a wellness practitioner and mama of two little ones, I’ve stayed in many places—but this was truly a sanctuary. Mariela is the most incredible host—like a 24/7 concierge angel. From airport pick-up, car rental, grocery tips, to curated local gems—she thought of everything. The home is stunning, spacious, and incredibly private, yet perfectly located to easily explore the best beaches, restaurants, and adventures. We woke to birdsong, made meals in the outdoor kitchen, lounged by the pool, and even picked fresh mangoes. It was peaceful, secure, and deeply nourishing. Every detail supported ease and connection. After full days exploring, it felt like coming home to serenity. I would stay here every time—we’re already dreaming of our return. Mariela, thank you for creating this heart-centered haven. Our whole family had the best vacation. You’ve set the bar for hospitality, and we are forever grateful. See you soon. Pura Vida!

Hotel Balu was so lovely. We wish we had more time there to enjoy the casita’s space. The coffee machine was amazing and so were the outdoor amenities. Absolutely recommend!

Fantastic beach compound. Christelle's house is the very northernmost on Brasilita where its quiet. House is directly across the road (as close as you can get) from the beach. This is a new house with all the conveniences you would expect on a higher end listing. The outdoor is exactly as pictured and makes it easy to eat outdoors and lounge at the pool. Good security with locking gates and an electrical fence on the wall and an alarm system for the house. Just a great spot if you want to get on and off the beach fast and not be surrounded by lots of people yet be very close to some of the best restaurants in Guanacaste.

The apartment looked better than the pictures. Everything worked great. The people that work at the resort are all very friendly and helpful. I would definitely stay again.

We really enjoyed our visit. The house was super clean, super well maintained. The hosts responded quickly to questions, even to give us suggestions for things to do or visit. The pool was superb, the area is very safe. Only positive things to say!

Johanna is an extraordinary host! She provided a guidebook which was very helpful for our first trip to Tamarindo! The house itself is a gem. Our favorite part was the pool! Highly recommend and I look forward to coming back to Coconut Cottage!

The place is very conveniently located, 12 minutes from Playa Avellanas and about 30 minutes from Tamarindo. The hosts are amazing and Gabriel, in particular, is super open to making sure the customer is comfortable…for example, after check-out we went to the beach. Since we got covered in sand, we asked him if he would allow us to use some showers that were in the Airbnb parking area. Gabriel very kindly allowed us to use it, and even let us use the bathrooms of the place before we left for San José again.

A nice house, big, fulll equipped. I recommend it Ac in all bedrooms

Great lodging here. The treehouse is charming and full of character. The surroundings are filled with nature and beautiful animals (including the separate and well-attended doggie rescue). This was a very pleasant retreat and I would return there if I was back in that side of Guanacaste. Also, the beaches are close from a driving perspective.
