This property is exactly as advertised. The property was clean. The view was amazing. It is in a great location and a quiet neighborhood with a guard at the front gate. They were strict on who the allowed to enter the neighborhood. So I felt it was very safe. The host was in constant contact, and answered all questions I had.

Beautiful home in excellent location
Our family had a wonderful stay in this beautiful home. The home is close to everything yet a world away in terms of serenity and vistas. If you plan to walk everywhere, note that it is a steep hill climb from the beach area. Very doable if you are in good shape. Otherwise, you will need a car. The home is exactly as advertised and the daily breakfast service was a nice amenity.

Beautiful Home for Multiple Families!
The home was great for our large group! The fact that almost all the rooms had bathrooms were a huge selling point and the rooms were all large and spacious. The house was very clean, well stocked and the views from every room were wonderful. The house is very close to town, but we rented UTV's to get around as we were traveling with children and the hill leading up to the house is pretty steep. The breakfasts were outstanding. The pool was great and overall we had a great time at Casa Ventana! Cris was very responsive during out stay, and gave a great recommendation for a baker as we were celebrating a birthday and requested a cake. We did run into several hiccups during our stay, I.e. internet went out, BBQ ran out of propane after one use, pool needed to be shocked and the pool umbrella broke. While inconvenient, most of the issues were attended to the same day by the wonderful maintenance staff. The town is cute and the nightlife was fun. Would definitely recommend if you are traveling to the area!

Beautiful views and great location
We were two families traveling together with four teen boys. The house is in a great location (gated community across from beach) with plenty of room for the 8 of us. We worked with Cris at Stay in Tamarindo for renting UTVs, fishing, Catamaran and boat charter. She also booked a terrific private chef. Cris was fantastic and we had the best time. Anything we needed she handled, including last minute requests. Renting a UTV was great because the house is on a steep hill (needed for views! Sunset is breathtaking.) The breakfasts were fantastic (the housekeeper will cook for you.) The upstairs bedroom is a little warm (but we just closed the shades when we ran the AC.) This was such a wonderful trip!

Beautiful home, great ocean view
The layout of this home was great for our 6-person family group. The 3 en suite bedrooms directly off the pool deck and a large upstairs bedroom with separate terrace are spacious and well laid out (we didn’t use the 5th “no view” bedroom). We had some difficulty with the water temperature in a couple of the bathrooms, but once we realized the handle needed to be turned in the opposite direction from a normal setup, all was well. There’s also some finesse required to get the grill to light, but these were both very minor issues to which the property manager responded quickly. We loved the breakfasts prepared by Daniela and appreciated the mid-week cleaning. As other reviewers note, the home is located at the top of a very steep hill - several family members did walk down to the beach and into town a few times during our stay; the walk down is easy and pleasant and the walk up is a good way to work off the big breakfast. We had a rental car and it’s definitely tricky to turn around in the driveway (also, parking in town is its own challenge). Still, we were glad to have a car for quick runs to the nearby Auto Mercado and for day trips. Overall, the home and pool are well maintained and well managed and the team at Stay in Tamarindo is responsive and helpful. We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely work with them again.

Amazing view
First, this was my first time staying in a private home. I usually stay in a hotel when I travel. I celebrated my 40th birthday with 5 of may friends and we all had our own space. The home is very spacious and has an amazing view of the ocean and the sunsets. We opt to buy groceries and have our breakfast prepared which was the best. Two nights we had a personal chef come in and prepared and served dinner. The concierge was very helpful. I did have a couple issues, but they did not make or break my stay. I stayed in the master bedroom and had to let the shower run a bit before I was able to get hot water. Since I felt like I was waisting water, I took cold or Luke warm showers during my stay. The two back rooms had no problems at all. Also, you do need a car or a driver. The beach is near but not a 4 min. walk. You have to walk down a steep hill and walk back up. Which is very hard. The home is close to town and lots of restaurants and beach bars. I must say, I had a great time. I felt comfortable in the home and would stay again and will recommend to others. It was close enough to interact with others, but far enough to feel like you are in a remote place. Perfect setting.

Awesome residence!
The view was even better in person. The layout of the home was spacious and ideal for our family of seven. Everything in the home was in working condition. It is worth noting that although the home is in close enough proximity to the beach and some of the shops and restaurants in Tamarindo such that one could walk, walking entails going up steep inclines to get to the elevated home that could cause a problem for someone not in great physical condition.

The property was described precisely as it is. Beautiful home with great bedrooms, four of which looked out over the panoramic vista of ocean and lush foliage. The infinity pool was a great place for us all to hang out with its ample seating and the views were wonderful. We highly recommend this property. Also everyone from the front gate people to the house staff and groundskeepers were very friendly. And Adriana and Cris always answered promptly if we had any questions.

Amazing Property in Tamarindo
The house, views, and team of staff were amazing. We could not have asked for a more ideal house for our group of 9 late 20 year olds. As many of the reviews have mentioned, the hill to the house is pretty steep but adds to the amazing view. Highly recommend renting a Polaris (many of the rental shops said a golf cart would "burn out" going up the hill) or expect to call a cab / Uber to get you back up.

Incredible
The house is AMAZING and comes complete with everything you need for an amazing vacation. The breakfast service is wonderful and it’s great to have the house cleaned a bit mid-stay. Huge Shot Out to Cris- the concierge/ property manager who took amazing care of us during our stay and prior helping us get everything set up. From transportation, massages, to fishing, to golf cart rentals- she creates a FIRST class experience. She was incredible to work with and always followed up and was there even through out our stay. She is probably the best part of the experience. We appreciated everything she did for us. One thing I would let the cleaning crew know- is to not swap someone’s laundry. My clothes were swapped and unfortunately most of my clothes air dry and will shrink in the dryer. A few items were shrunk and now I cannot wear them- but everything else was so amazing I can totally look past those things. It really was such an amazing stay in an amazing country!
