If you are looking for a trip to stay at the beach to surf or swim, this is a good place. It is nice, safe, secure, has most all of the basic necessities and my hosts were kind and helpful when I had questions or needed anything. It was close to a busy street and restaurants so there was a lot of noise at times. It was right on the main road yet near the end of it so you can walk to get to all the shops and restuarants.
We greatly enjoyed our stay! The apartment was nice and had everything we needed. The hosts are great! They were very friendly and helpful throughout our entire stay. We went on a boat snorkeling tour with them and had a wonderful time. The location is great too. The Chinese restaurant downstairs was the best Chinese food I’ve ever had, haha.

Good value for the price
Located a 5 minute walk to the beach and another 5-10 minutes to stores and other amenities. Lots of morning traffic to give you an early start to the day. Lack of sidewalks in the area makes walking difficult. Hosts were pleasant, available and very accommodating. We enjoyed a great day on the water with them snorkeling, and Lily stayed in the water with the snorkelers to ensure their safety.
Close to everything, unique room, looks like it was converted from a retail space, but it worked. With all the vegetation there is no ocean view, but it's right there. 2 minute walk. Not the place if you want to cook, as it has a portable gas stove and a glorified toaster oven I couldn't figure out.
Short uber to everything, i would stay there again, just be prepared, absolutely nothing fancy.
Small apartment, basically one room, but everything we needed to self-cater. Close to the surf beach and a reasonable walk to the supermarket and restaurants. Lots of wildlife seen from the rear balcony-large iguanas, a monkey and hummingbirds! No kettle but a great Italian coffee pot! No complaints!
Check in was super easy. Davide was warm and welcoming. Would highly recommend to solo traveler such as myself or a couple that does not have any expectations of anything fancy. This isn’t a resort, but what it is, is a safe space that is extremely convenient to walk to downtown Tamarindo. The beach is an easy 5 min walk, and you’re downtown in 10-15 mins with plenty of shops on your way.
Some have mentioned the noise. You’ve got to understand you’re right off a busy street but with the fan or ac going it’s not really a big deal. Honestly for me, it wasn’t bad at all.
Pura Vida, thank you!

Disliked: Cleanliness, check-in, location
To many dogs barking Noise at 5:30 am deck wasn’t ocean view
Was not happy with place. Not very clean. We moved out on January 22 to another place. So we had to pay for both
Laura was a great host, the place was as advertised. It’s as if your living like a local and gives you that experience. No butlers or fancy amenities, but that’s what I was looking for. The only problem I had was, like someone else said, the dogs barking. They could bark for hours and not stop some days. At night, early morning, so expect that. Also a little noisy from traffic on main road but not that bad.
It’s an amazing location, 2 min walk to the beach and food, and like a 5-10 min walk to Centro where all the clubs/nightlife were. I walked home pretty late and never really felt unsafe but I don’t recommend that for everyone.
Overall if it wasn’t for the dogs, I would have gave 5 stars instead of 3.
HOSTS WERE GREAT, HAD A SLIGHT AC PROBLEM WAS FIXED AND BACK TO NORMAL WHEN I GOT BACK.
IF YOU WANT QUITE SOLITUDE, NO. THERE'S 1 MAIN ROAD AND YOUR ON IT SO YOU WILL HERE ALL MANNERS OF TRAFFIC. ALSO, THE BEST WESTERN ACROSS THE STREET HOSTS A FRIDAY NIGHT FREE DRINKS FROM 9 TO 11 (LOUD MUSIC AND PARTYING).
IF YOUR A, LIKE TO SLEEP IN THE DARK PERSON LIKE MYSELF, NO. JUST BAMBOO TYPE BLINDS ON THE 2 LARGE WINDOWS. NO CURTAINS TO BLOCK OUT THE LIGHT.
A MICROWAVE WOULD HAVE BEEN HANDY TO WARM UP LEFTOVERS INSTEAD OF A PAN ON THE STOVE. AND A COFFEE MAKER.
ITS LOCATION WAS GREAT THOUGH. EVERYTHING WAS WITHIN WALKING DISTANCE AND THERE WERE PLENTY OF EATING, DRINKING AND SHOPPING ESTABLISHMENTS ON BOTH SIDES OF THE STREET. WALKING CAN BE A LITTLE SKETCHY AS THERE ARE NOT SIDEWALKS EVERY WHERE. YOU'LL FIND YOUSELF WALKING IN THE STREET AT TIMES. BUT ALL THE DRIVERS ARE VERY COURTEOUS. WE GOT A GOLF CART ONE DAY AND HAD A BLAST!
THE PROPERTY IS PRETTY DATED BUT HAS A COZY COMFORTABLE VIBE. IF YOU WERE A SURFER DUDE BACK IN THE 60's YOU WOULD BE IN HEAVEN.
Bien situé, à 2 minutes de marche de la plage et quelque minutes de marche du centre-ville. Belle vue sur la magnifique végétation Costa Ricaine! Ce qui nous a permis de voir un singe, des écureuils, iguanes et bien sûr, être si près de la végétation emmène quelques bestioles non désirés mais rien de dérangeant. Studio très modeste mais qui a tout ce dont vous avez besoin pour un court séjour. Nous avons apprécié les 2 balcons qui nous permettaient une vue sur la rue et l'autre sur la végétation. Lily et Mauro nous ont bien accueillis et sont très gentils. Ils veulent etre certains que nous ne manquons de rien. Si vous êtes du genre hôtel, n'y allez pas car vous pourriez donner de mauvais commentaires et ce serait dommage que ceux qui sont prêts a vivre modestement quelque jours se privent de passer un moment à cet endroit. J'y retournerais!
This property is cute and simple with more of an authentic aspect compared to a villa, condo or hotel. It is very close to Playa Tamarindo and several restaurants and shops and a short walk to the center of Tamarindo. You can easily stay here without a vehicle as everything is a short walking distance. The owners are extremely friendly and helpful! :)
Amazing property right on the beach! Will stay here again when visiting Tamarindo!!
Davide was extremely helpful from before checking in all the way to check out. The place was exactly as advertised and the location can’t be beat! Your steps away from the beach and a few minute walk to the town center.
