About this property

Playa Langosta, Tamarindo, Costa Rica

Beautiful condo on Playa Langosta. Steps from the beach with amazing views. A beautiful pool area, with only 20 units, so never very crowded. 24-7 gate security, so very safe. Underground parking available. WiFi, cable (with some US channels). Large modern kitchen. Two spacious bedrooms plus a daybed in the alcove,
which can accommodate 5-7 guests. Each bedroom has a full bathroom and there is an half bath in the entry hall. Large family room with dining room table that seats eight plus a outdoor dining table that seats six on the lanai. Can recommend great driver to set up tours.

Our Best Tamarindo/Langosta Rental

This is our 7th trip to Tamarindo/Langosta. We started with one week stays then retired and last 3 trips stayed 2+ months each stay. This property was the best rental yet! The condo is very spacious and very well equipped for short/long term stays. The ocean view is spectacular and perfect location for sunset views. We would typically walk to Langosta beach for the sunsets but at this condo, you can sit back and enjoy! We didn't want to leave and I would go back to this unit for our winter stay; unfortunately, it's already booked! The owner was awesome; we hope to book again.

bait and switch

It was advertised as a 3 bedroom 3 bath. But was a 2 bedroom 2 bath. The owners response was to have the person intended for the 3rd bedroom sleep on the couch. Not acceptable. Would the owner be ok sleeping on the couch if she was in this situation?

Perfect Place

We stayed in condo 301 and it was perfect. Great view, the back is all glass so from the kitchen, living and dining you can see the ocean. It was clean and has everything you need. Note about the beach…at low tide it is rocky, bring water shoes. There are all kinds of little pools that form so it is fun to explore. Great place to snorkel as well. You can walk to Tamarindo beach in minutes. There is a trail right before the big rock hill, that goes over to Tamarindo. We love this place! RPM services manages the place and will take care of all your needs, transport to and from airport, excursions etc. they respond quickly and are very helpful. Pura Vida

Best stay

I would highly recommend staying here. The beachfront is is absolutely beautiful. It’s close to town, yet far enough away that it’s quiet. The staff is extremely helpful and friendly. Definitely recommend hiring Lola’s husband to cook dinner for an evening. His dinner was beyond phenomenal!! Would definitely stay here again, but sadly we didn’t love Tamarindo.

Happy Family

The condo, the property, the views were all amazing. Our family smiled from ear to ear every morning as we enjoyed breakfast on the veranda while listening to the waves crash and enjoying the magnificent views. Our condo was comfortable and beautiful. We were also very happy with security. The guards were friendly and we felt safe. One minor note, the road leading down to the property needs repair work. The drive down the road to the property is difficult.

Beautiful and convenient!

The location was lovely and the view outstanding! It was located close enough to Tamarindo to make getting back and forth a breeze but far enough away to provide a more quiet setting. Lots of restaurants, stores and beach access close by in both Langosta and Tamarindo. The condo had plenty of space and was well-stocked, especially with towels. Owner/property manager were very quick to respond and were so helpful with arranging both a golf cart to use throughout our stay (key if you do not rent a car) and shuttles from the airport and to our next destination. Highly recommend!!

Beautiful Beachside Condo

Our family of three adults and three children aged 11-16 stayed in this lovely condo for a week. The home is spacious and clean, including a large balcony for viewing the sunset each night. The property is a gated community with 24/7 security. The pool is a nice bonus to take a dip after our activities. The management team was readily available to answer any questions we had and responded promptly. The walk to Tamarindo is an easy 15 minutes on a safe road. We booked our snorkeling, paddleboarding, 4-wheeling and ziplining through Native's Way, and they picked us up at the property each day. We had a fantastic week and can't wait to return to this beautiful dream vacation location!

An Amazing Vacation

We had a wonderful time staying in the Crystals Sands condo. The location was close enough that we were able to walk to the middle of Tamarindo but far enough removed that we had almost completely private beach access during the busiest week of the year. When we didn't feel like walking or driving we called an Uber. A car wasn't really necessary since you can rent a golf cart for your stay and get around easily. I communicated with the owner a few times and she was incredibly helpful including giving us a recommendation for a fishing charter. The onsite property staff were very nice and made us feel welcome, including the guard cat, Christy. We look forward to future trips to Tamarindo and would absolutely stay at this property again.

Beautiful unit with stunning view. Steps from beach and minutes from downtown in a golf cart. Property manager and owners were excellent communicators and helped with anything needed. Would return for sure! Talk to Lola (from RPM) about setting up in home chef services. Unbelievable!

Blissful week of “remote working”

My husband and I stayed at this property for a week of working remotely, following 10 days of vacation in Costa Rica. We loved everything about our stay!!! The condo is spacious, has a wonderful balcony with amazing ocean and sunset views, and WiFi worked perfectly. We both worked using Teams and Zoom calls with no issues. Great restaurant at the top of the road, Fish and Cheeses, and easy walk into Tamarindo. I spent a couple hours one morning at the pool - I was the sole occupant - and we spent late afternoons on the beach watching the sunset. We also had great customer service from the property management team and owner. We will definitely come back! A few favorite restaurants in Tamarindo were Falafal Bar and Green Papaya (lunch) and Pangas Beach Club (dinner). We also hired a personal chef for 3 nights, thanks the the help of Lola and Josef the property managers. All meals were fantastic! Thanks for an amazing stay!!

Fabulous property

This condo was amazing! Beautiful unit, 7 adults slept here comfortably. The ocean view from the large balcony was spectacular. Large kitchen, living room, dining room. Secure complex, nice pool. We enjoyed the location, short 15-20 minute walk to Tamarindo without being right in the busy town. Also short walk the other direction to beautiful Langosta beach. Highly recommend this unit, would definitely stay there again.

This location is slightly removed from the downtown area so it is quiet which we found to be a plus. Beautiful views off the big verandas. Very comfortable accommodations. Easy access to the beach right off the property.

Amazing condo

We stayed at Crystal Sands 301 the first week of April-by far the most beautiful vrbo we've ever stayed in. There were 6 of us and more than enough space for everyone. We loved the proximity to the beach, sitting on the balcony listening to the ocean and watching the sunsets. Carol was awesome answering any questions we had. Lola was very helpful if we had questions while there. Tamarindo was easy to get to walking on the beach. We would definitely stay here again!
