Beachfront vacation rentals in Tamarindo

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

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!

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!

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!!

Not much to add beyond the countless rave reviews here. The restorative and serene view and location is obviously the best quality, but the condo itself is comfortable and offers all the comforts of home as well. We loved the empty beach, the sound of the surf, and the cackle of the tropical birds. If you want crowds and traffic jams, head to Tamarindo. If you yearn for quiet and a vintage Costan Rican experience, I recommend without hesitation.

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.

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 the best time staying in the house! It was perfect for our group, and love that everyone had their own separate spaces. Highly recommend!

Loved the house and location. Extremely well-equipped kitchen and some refreshments waiting for us in the fridge. RCV arranged a guided tour for us at Rincon de la Vieja National Park for one day (including lunch, zip-lining, and the hot springs & mud baths) that was a lot of fun. Had dinner the first night at Father Rooster's on Ocotal Beach just down the hill from the house. We did a little cooking and used the bbq grill for a couple meals. There were a couple small problems: water was not turned on for one of the showers downstairs, the gas was not turned on for the stove (just had to open the valve on the propane tank on the other side of the wall from the stove), the A/C would trip off in the second bedroom upstairs, and the dishwasher wouldn't operate. RCV sent people promptly to address the issues, but unfortunately the dishwasher needed a new control board and couldn't be fixed during our stay. We would definitely stay in this house again.

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!

Muy buen lugar y el departamento espectacular. Lo recomiendo 100%. Sin duda lo mejor que se puede encontrar en tamarindo. Como crítica constructiva, sería ideal la reposición de amenidades para el baño y la ducha.

PARADISE! This will by far be one of the most beautiful villas we have ever stayed in. Not only did it match the pictures perfectly but it exceeded our expectations in every way possible. The tide pools were the best we have ever seen- so many colorful fish and we even saw a little octopus! The kids loved swimming in the pool and in the ocean and we felt like kids again. Kim was a great host and greeted us upon arrival to show us the layout of everything and the security guard was so friendly and I felt really safe with my 11 year old and two children under 2 being there. FIVE star location. Close enough to Tamarindo to experience everything it has to offer, but far enough away to stay away from the crowds. We loved every minute of it and wish we could’ve stayed longer.

Magical Place Our week in Maria’s home was absolutely magical. Situated at the end of a sandy cove, we had excellent ocean access and amazing privacy. The home was so comfortable, with A/C in the bedrooms and breezy, beautiful living spaces in the rest of the house, deep decks with plenty of seating for meals, and tiny little spots under trees and bushes scattered throughout the ample yard. Our three generation gathering relished the pool, the beach, the yard games, and plenty of board games and art projects throughout the week. Maria’s recommendations for cooks and transportation were excellent. Maria was shockingly responsive…even sending someone over with two bags of ice when the ice-maker was a little slow for our needs. We were blessed with regular sightings of monkeys, lizards, birds, crabs, and dragonflies. We were so lucky to come upon this magical place that fully met all our needs, and exceeded our expectations.

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.

We had a wonderful stay at Mono Feliz! The villa had everything we needed to have a relaxing, peaceful stay in Costa Rica. The beach, beach club, shops, restaurants, and town were all in walking distance. After enjoying the day with all the area had to offer, it was especially nice to come back to the villa to dip in the pool. Hosts, Jeff and Gina, were attentive to our needs along with onsite management, Justin. Pura Vida!

Casa Sundog is amazing! The concierge team was top notch from beginning to end. They were super communicative and provided great recommendations. The house was impressive to say the least and exceeded our expectations. This was the perfect stay for our family of 10 and made my parents 50th anniversary very memorable.

Situated down a small street and protected by a high fence sits this beautiful property. With mango trees and the sound of the Pacific Ocean as you fall asleep this is where you go to completely get away from it all. While it sleeps 10 (!) we were a family of 5 and enjoyed the serenity of this rustic location. Currently it has no air conditioning, which was actually just fine, but it will be coming in July. Now it's something like upscale camping and you will find nature making its way inside your rooms, so don't be surprised when you see ants on the walls or a crawly thing hiding in your pile of laundry. This is one of the oldest places in the entire town and you just have to embrace it. Because on the plus side Dona Flor makes amazing food and to get to the ocean you just have to open up the back gate and then come back to one of the two outdoor showers and relax in a hammock. It doesn't get more amazing than that.

Absolute gem!! We stayed for 3 days and absolutely loved the beachfront location, privacy and stunning quiet beach. We love to travel to quiet (non-touristy) destinations and this was perfect. I highly recommend going to Tiki Hut (great food/view and just 10 min drive) and the gorgeous beach there. Amazing swimming and surfing and very cheap board rentals ($20/day). We’ll definitely be back!! Fabulous and relaxing vacation! And we loved the resident dogs - Playa and Baloo…. Little sweethearts came out our beach walks with us and chilled at sunset. Highly recommend this tranquil paradise!
