The rooms for the villa were really clean, air conditioning made the Costa Rica heat more bearable. Very efficient. Contacting the host and house keeping were on point and they responded right away. Would highly recommend staying if you are planning a vacation in the Tamarindo Area.

Clean room/ Nice pool area / Pretty beach very close walk

We enjoyed the pool and the beach was the most expansive beautiful beaches I have been to.

First of all, the property is quite nice. The pool is beautiful and the villa itself is nice. The issues we had were more aimed toward the presence of the owner during our stay than anything else. The check-in process was messy and could have been done with simple and clear directions on where the villa is, where to enter, etc. Instead, the owner insisted on meeting us to check us in. I’ve never had this at any other VRBO/vacation rental so I found it odd. Getting to the property was difficult as the GPS coordinates take you to a different address. We used google earth to find the property using satellite photos of the property when we were unsuccessful reaching the host due to bad weather. It was during check-in that we were informed about the “big fine” for leaving on the AC while away from the condo, but there was a bit of confusion regarding this because we thought she meant when we checked out at the end of our stay, not every time we left the property. This caught us by surprise as it was not highlighted in the listing, which I scoured to find if I had missed that detail when booking. I see it has now been added to the listing information since our stay. There was also an issue of being unable to enter the property because the host had her dog loose in the yard and the dog would not allow us in the gate. Overall we had a nice stay but we wished we would have known how present the owner would be on the property during our stay. It didn’t feel “private” as stated.
