We had an amazing time on our family vacation with our group of 13 people. The pool and outdoor area was the perfect place to spend the day - a mix of sun and shade all day, and the baby area of the pool was perfect for the 1 year old. The beach is steps away and we enjoyed the most amazing sunsets every evening. It was a quick 10 min walk to a sandier part of the beach where the kids loved bogie boarding in the waves. The house and kitchen was very well stocked with everything we needed for cooking etc, and we had ample space for everyone. We do wish there was a bit more closet space or dressers to put away clothes in the bedrooms. Lorena the housekeeper and Oscar the groundskeeper were both amazing. Tamarindo was a quick few minute drive away and we loved checking out the restaurants and beach bars! Highly recommend a golf cart to get into town and different beaches. We probably would have skipped the car rental next time as most excursions we would get transportation provided for our large group. Jonathon was excellent to communicate with, very responsive and helped us in planning many excursions which kept everyone busy! We would come back in a heartbeat!

This was the perfect location for our group. There were 11 of us total, and the accommodations were beyond incredible. The master suite balcony was a perfect place to watch for monkeys and macaws in the morning - or at any point during the day. (There are 2 master suites.) The common spaces were super clean and easy to navigate. The pool was amazing, especially after a day at the beach. The fact that you could walk right out to the beach from the property and watch the ocean break over lava rocks while sitting among the mangroves was breathtaking. Accessible swimming beaches were an easy walk down the beach, or on the road. Access to the main shopping area of town was also walkable, although we did rent a golf cart, which made access even easier. A small grocery store with anything you would need was located very close - within easy walking distance.Lorena was amazing! She taught us how to cook the Costa Rican classic: arroz con pollo. She also cooked a seafood meal for us one evening! So worth it!! If I could re-do the week of meals, I would have had her cook a couple of more times to support local working families. She really is so kind and wonderful!!Jonathan was very easy to work with as well. He communicated in a very timely manner about everything. He arranged transport from the airport, secured our golf cart rental, and had great info about tours, etc. He was there to greet us when we arrived and gave a tour of the house.100% recommend!!

Our family group of 13 had a fabulous experience here. It is a beautiful home and we felt very safe. The hosts answered our questions promptly, and helped us arrange some great activities. The bedrooms were comfortable and spacious. The living, dining, bar and outdoor areas were perfect for gathering together. The kitchen was well equipped for our large group. The view from the backyard/pool was amazing. Although the beach, only steps away from the house, is too rocky for swimming, the tide pools there were spectacular. We saw lots of fish, starfish, urchins, and sea cucumbers every day at low tide. The location worked well for us...it was much quieter than Tamarindo, and there were plenty of good restaurants within walking distance. Tamarindo was only 5-10 minutes away by car. The staff, there every day, was very accommodating. We arranged for them to cook one dinner at the house. It was delicious and economical. We also loved seeing monkeys, iguanas, crabs, butterflies, parrots, and other beautiful birds from the pool area. We would definitely come back.

The house was beautiful, the location and beach access was convenient and stunning! Jonathan and Roy were very helpful helping us plan our trip and having golf carts delivered. Oscar took excellent care of the pool and gardens and he was a delight to talk with every morning while we were drinking our coffee pool side and taking in the gorgeous sunrise. That was all wonderful but it was Lorina and her assistant Maya that stole the show with their fabulous cooking. One of our party has Celiac and they went out of their way to cook gluten-free and pick up gluten-free options. All in all it was a great trip supported by great people and a beautiful and conveniently located house. Our family of 12 found it hard to leave! Thanks Jonathan and crew.

Magical!
We had a perfect trip staying at this beautiful house. The view is breathtaking and the house has everything you need. We felt so well taken care of from Jonathan’s helping arrange activities to the delicious meals and the house being cleaned for us. We travel quite a bit, and this house is one we would love to come back to! The pool area and yard are gorgeous and you can just walk out the back gate and be on the beach. It’s not an area for swimming in the ocean much, but you can just walk down the beach a little and there are areas for that or surfing. There is air conditioning throughout the whole house and locked gates so we felt completely safe and comfortable. This is my favorite VRBO I have ever been to!

Everything was awesome. Jonathan was a huge help and very responsive if we experienced any issues. Lorena prepared delicious dinners and kept the house in great shape. Only thing I would share is that the beach is rocky and not conducive for snorkeling or even swimming. The walk to town from the beach is beautiful but further than you think - better to take the road which is much quicker and also lovely. Would definitely stay here again! A family of seven howler monkeys graced us with their presence on the last day. Didn’t make any noise but snacked on the trees and napped for hours. Very cool!

Amazing House on the Beach
We stayed with 6 adults and 10 children ages 9-3 and the house was perfect for all of us. The house is just steps from the beach which made it easy for the kids to go to and from the beach and pool all day. We had Lorena make breakfast and dinner every day for us, which was amazing! Made everyone feel like it was more of a vacation. Jonathan, the manager, was extremely helpful and went above and beyond to take care of us. He mailed back several items we accidentally left behind, including stuffed animals and a cell phone. Truly a gem! We plan to return next summer!

Great Location and Great Potential
We definitely enjoyed our stay at Casa Paquita but cannot give it 5 stars since it is in need of much needed maintenance. It is unfortunate since the layout is outstanding, amazing view of ocean from pool and house, great pool, and perfect for large group. However, there were lots of ants in the house since there were major openings around doors and windows that were not sealed properly. This could be the norm in Costa Rica since it was our first time there, but we did not have these issues in the resort we stayed at near Arenal Volcano. The contact person for the house, Jonathan, responded right away when I notified him about the ants and other bugs, and he had the house sprayed the next day. This solved the problem for a day or two, but they ended up coming back.That being said we still had a good time and appreciate all of Jonathan's assistance. His communications were excellent and also prompt. Additionally, Lola, who did the housekeeping and cooked us an amazing meal on our last night, was fantastic. Both she and Jonathan couldn't have been nicer to us.

Amazing stay in Tamarindo
You will not be disappointed with this house!We had a recent one week stay with adults and teenage kids. We loved our time there and were very sad to leave. Pros:Location. We ended up cancelling our car rentals before we left and were so glad we did. We ended up using the house golf cart and it was perfect. We could get everywhere we needed in the golf cart and was only a short drive 5mins into town for groceries, restaurants and shopping. You can also walk into town easily as well. The house is also right on the beach and has the most beautiful sunsets we have ever seen. You can walk for miles down the beach which is great to do before it gets too hot. The house is very safe, and we never had any concerns. Jonathan and Lorena. Jonathan was amazing. We have never had anyone so responsive on any VRBO rental we have visited. Jonathan was available to help whenever needed for booking excursions, urgent doctors visits or any household issues. Lorena cooked the most amazing meals for us and we loved that we always had leftovers for the hungry teens! I would highly recommend the breakfasts they were wonderful. Cons:Really there were none. We would stay here again for sure. Some things in the house need updating but that is to be expected. They are working to update parts, but as this is a very large property it takes time. This would not deter us from staying again. This is a fantastic house for a large group or for families with teens!

Perfect for Large Group
We stayed here for a fun mother/son trip with our high school seniors. The house was clean, beautiful, and walking distance to heart of Tamarindo. Jonathan was an excellent concierge as he organized all of our excursions for us (sunset cruise, sport fishing, waterfall hike, whitewater rafting, ziplining). He also coordinated with a chef to come in most nights and cook for our entire group. The food was amazing and she cleaned up after dinner for us as well. Jonathan also coordinated yoga lessons and massages at the house for the moms. Moms had fun, boys had fun - it was just perfect.

Everything as advertised
The property was exactly as described in the listing. Yes it going to need a little “love” soon, but still an awesome property. If you don’t have Lorena and her crew cook for you, you will be missing out on great food at a good price. She can tailor your meals to the costs that you are wanting to pay. Eating out in the Tamarindo market can get expensive. Would love to come back and stay with Jonathon and Lorena very soon!
