About this property

Award Nominated Villa, 5BDR, Pool, Gym, Oceanview, Staff

Escape to paradise in this exquisite luxury villa located 7-minutes walking distance to the beach or 10 minutes to the heart of Tamarindo!

Welcome to Angel del Mar, arguably one of the finest properties in all of Tamarindo that's perfectly suited for large families, groups of friends or business associates.
Completed in 2021, Angel del Mar is an open air, contemporary, tropical home perched on a lushly forested hillside overlooking the beach and the quaint surf town of Tamarindo. The property boasts a convenient, yet quiet location, with breathtaking ocean views, wide open social areas, infinity pool, outdoor shower, manicured landscaping, unforgettable sunsets and all the wonders of nature. Below are just a few highlights of the property:

NOMINATED BEST BUILDING IN 2024
If Tony Stark from the movie Ironman had a home in Costa Rica, Angel del Mar would be it. With 25 foot teak wood ceilings, travertine floors, and industrial size ceiling fans to circulate the tropical air throughout the wide-open social areas, Angel del Mar is truly an architectural wonder.
The social area flows seamlessly between the rancho, dining room, kitchen, family room and the pool. The house is designed so that at certain times of the day you can hardly tell if you're inside or outside the house. Sunrise, and especially sunset, are magical times of the day to enjoy the social areas of the house.
All the bedrooms, and the office, are separated from the main social areas by an open air rancho. This allows guests that want to retire early for the evening the peace and quiet they desire to sleep or simply relax. All bedrooms are setup with a private bathroom, shower, bidet, television, and easy access to terraces with views of the ocean below. Guests staying in the master bedroom on the second floor have a terrace to sit and enjoy the ocean and valley views, as well a private bridge that connects them to the home office at the other end of the house.

FIBER OPTIC WIFI
The internet at Angel del Mar is fiber optic, which in many cases is faster than most internet services in the United States. Want to stream video? We've got you covered.

5-STAR CONCIERGE SERVICE
Your concierge, Jenny, will host and guide you through the check-in process and and resolve any needs you have before your trip. You can contact her to start coordinating your personalized service as soon as you pay the final payment. She can help you with stocking your fridge with groceries, coordinating chefs, setting up transportation to and from the airport, booking tours, spa services and more.

Jenny is here to ensure your needs are met and your expectations are exceeded on your trip to Costa Rica. Allow us to serve you and ensure an unforgettable vacation in paradise! You can contact her at +506-8758-2390, best to use Whatsapp if possible.

IN HOME GYM
For those looking to hit the gym while on vacation, feel free to use our in-house gym. Complete with free weights, barbells, a full-body workout machine, spin cycle, and more, you're sure to get the workout you need to stay fit.

STAFF
Angel del Mar has three dedicated staff members that have worked for us for more than five years. Jose is our caretaker that lives just below the property, he's on call 24 hours a day, six days a week. Lidia and Elizabeth are the cleaning crew that cleans the house three days a week, and Jose Pina is our dedicated chef, that specializes in typical Costa Rican cuisine, but is capable of making any food you want.

All cooking services are NOT included in your rental fee. Jose Pina charges $200 to shop for food, prepare dinner and clean-up. Breakfasts are typically cooked by Lidia and Elizabeth, they charge $50 each for meal prep and clean-up.

OUR DAILY ROUTINE
We live in Park City, Utah, so when we're not skiing the powder, or biking the amazing single track trails in the surrounding mountains, we're in Costa Rica surfing some of the world's best warm water surf breaks. One of our favorite routines is to wake up early for an early morning surf session at Casitas, a break just on the other side of the estuary on Playa Grande. After a couple hours of surfing we usually head back the house to rinse off in the outdoor shower, then plunge into the infinity pool to re-live some of the amazing rides of the morning. 20 minutes later the staff usually has breakfast ready where we enjoy some amazing fresh fruits, parfaits, bacon, eggs and waffles. Just as you're thinking it can't get any better than that, there's always time for a power nap, a massage under the tree on the beach in front of Witches Rock, an afternoon surf session followed by a sunset walk along the beach. Now that's living!

WHY TAMARINDO?
Honestly, there isn't a town along that Pacific Coast of Costa Rica that has more to offer than Tamarindo. For surfers, Tamarindo is strategically located between some of the best surf breaks in the area. To the south lies Playa Guiones, Marbella, Playa Negra, Avellanas, and Langosta, and to the north lies Playa Grande, world famous Witches Rock and Ollies Point.
Tamarindo has over 100 restaurants, an equal number of shops, three banks, three super markets, four rental car companies, golf cart rentals, medical clinics, multiple pharmacies, and a tours for practically any type of tour you can imagine.
We're just 10 minutes to the Tamarindo Airport and one hour from the Liberia Airport.

TERMS
We highly recommend you review our Terms and Conditions page to know all the details about your trip, payments, security deposits, cancellation policies, and more.

Exceptional stay in Tamarindo

We had a wonderful time traveling with friends and family. Amenities were fantastic. It did rain practically the whole time so that was a huge bummer and there is no hot tub, but other than that, we would absolutely come back again!

This was our first trip to Costa Rica and it was a vacation to remember forever. Besides the amazing town, culture and people of Tamarindo our vacation was filled with adventure and excursions. The house was exceptional on every level and exceeded our expectations. Our concierge Jenny, and the property Jose were amazing!! I highly highly recommend this property.

Beautiful Property!!

We really enjoyed staying at Angel Del Mar! The property and grounds were stunning! The onsite property manager and housekeeping staff were very helpful and friendly! The accommodations were perfect for our group of 11. Jenny, the property concierge was very resourceful and found great activities and drivers for our trip. The only thing I would say could be added is a 6 passenger golf cart. A lot of properties in the states have golf carts included in your rental. They seem to be pretty popular in Costa Rica and we were not informed that they boom quickly and it could not be rented upon arrival. We ended up getting a referral for a local car rental company so in the end, it worked out. Overall an incredible stay!!

Terrific Property

Everything about the property exceeded our expectations. From arranging everything Mona was very helpful, Maria led the cleaning staff and was helpful in every way possible if there was an issue within the house Jose was always there to assist. We were there as a family and the house was what really made our vacation. Thanks to the owner for allowing us to stay there, and also to all the staff who made our stay very memorable, I've stayed in many nice spots but I don't think we will ever forget this one!

Perfect Pura Vida!

11 of us, ranging in age from 81 to 17, came from Colorado, Minnesota and Chicago … for a family gathering. It was a big trip to organize but with Mona and Justin’s help, it was absolutely amazing! We surfed, snorkeled, boated and spent time at the pool … could not have asked for a better place to spend our holiday!!!

Fantastic Property

We were a group of 3 kids (ages 2 - 12) and four adults (ages 25 - 70). The property was "treehouse-like" in the words of a few folks in our party. The house was clean and up-to-date with everything we needed for mealtime. The feel was very open and it has a fantastic sunset view over Tamarindo Bay. It is possible to walk to town from the property but only if you're in good hiking shape - the road is very rough. Would definitely go back.

Family time in an amazing retreat

Our two families loved, loved, loved the home! The staff was excellent; sweet and very accommodating. And the home proved to be a fantastic spot where we could either lounge lazily by the pool or take a short walk down the hill to surfing and great food. I’ll even add that it’s hard to please even one teen, but we made 4 of the them super-happy. Everyone had plenty of space but also loved the outside seating area for hanging out or playing some games late into the night. Justin is an excellent host and was very responsive to all of our questions/needs before and during the trip. Many thanks for another successful CR trip!

My family of 8 just returned from the most AMAZING vacation at Angel Del Mar. The villa is heavenly. Between its incredible architecture that seamlessly blends indoor and outdoor living, the stunning infinity pool with the most colorful sunsets imaginable, to its kind and attentive staff. This home is immaculate, very safe and in the most perfect location. Perched high on a lush hill overlooking Tamarindo and its famous beach with the sounds of birds and howler monkeys in the background, you are truly in your own magical paradise. Just a 2min golf cart ride to town, beaches, shops, grocery stores and fab restaurants (and the list goes on). I cannot say enough about this property. It is even more extraordinary in person, pics do not give it justice. Justin, my family and I cannot thank you enough for being so responsive and sharing your wonderful home with us!!

About the host

Hosted by Justin Spaulding

Host profile image
We're the Spauldings, and we love the Pacific Coast of Costa Rica. Angel del Mar was designed, and built, mainly as a surf retreat for family and friends. We lived here full-time for six years but now we split our time between here and the Utah.

Why they chose this property

We built Angel del Mar in a section of Tamarindo that's secluded yet is in close proximity to the beach and town. The property is just a five minute walk to the beach or a five minute walk into town, whichever you prefer. We also loved the centralized proximity to several world-class surf spots located North and South of Tamarindo.

Most properties in Tamarindo don't have views of the beach, nor the surrounding jungle, due to dense vegetation, flat topography and congested development. Angel del Mar, on the other hand, is one of a few properties situated on one of the only hillsides in town where we have both spectacular views of the ocean and the town below. It's a great location to wake up to the sounds of howler monkeys, tropical birds and the sound of the surf when a swell hits.

What makes this property unique

We tried to create the house in such a way that it had a really good vibe and flow to it. If you're a surfer or just a beach lover, you're going to love Angel del Mar! When you come back from a surf session, or day at the beach, there's an conveniently located outdoor shower with rainfall shower heads and a board cage adjacent to store your boards. After rinsing off, simply walk through the open air rancho out to the infinity pool where you can watch the surf and recuperate from a morning or evening surf session. All social areas of the house are designed to feel really open yet super functional. The office is the most secluded space on the property, giving you a view of the beach, yet quiet enough that you can concentrate on work if necessary. Need some quite time? Kick back in the rancho, your personal suite, one of several balconies or the main deck where you can sit in the shade and read a book to the sound of the ocean.
