Great house for family close to Tamarindo beach

Only a block from the beach, this house works well for a family or multiple couples. Super easy check-in. Property manager/concierge was very responsive to inquiries. Close to restaurants, coffee shops and clubs. Nice pool area for cooling off. Easily store surf boards.

Casa Calico Stay

We enjoyed our stay at Casa Calico! The house was perfect for our family of 5 with plenty of additional space to spare. We loved the private courtyard and pool. We were in walking distance to the beach, shops, and restaurants. The property concierge was wonderful to arrange excursions and help with transportation and recommendations. They were very responsive to any needs we had. I would 100% stay here again!

Our group of six adults had an absolutely wonderful stay at this VRBO in Tamarindo. The location couldn’t have been better—just a short walk to the beach and close to all the restaurants and shops, yet it still felt like a peaceful retreat away from the busy beach crowds. The house itself was an oasis, especially after long, hot days in the sun. The pool was a highlight—perfect for cooling off and relaxing.Inside, everything was comfortable and well set up. The beds were cozy, and the kitchen had everything we needed to prepare meals when we wanted a break from dining out. We ended up renting a golf cart, which made getting around fun and easy, but honestly, most places were within walking distance.A special shoutout to the concierge, who was extraordinarily responsive and helpful throughout our stay. They made everything seamless, from answering questions quickly to offering great local recommendations.Overall, this place struck the perfect balance between convenience and tranquility. We’d absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Tamarindo.

CR trip

This location held 2 families of 4 really well. The location was great, concierge great. We lost power once and lost water once but the property managers were quick to address to problem. There was supposed to be a maid service that came once on our trip, and they never did, But it the scheme of things that’s a small issue. Overall I would definitely return to this property

This was a perfect accommodation for our family. We loved it. Very clean and quite, convinulantly located. Everything was in walking distance that we did. And when we wanted to go some where farther we just ordered an uber. Beds were very comfortable.and the house was very clean . We would stay again. The maintanance gentleman were very helpful and full of good information. Gilbert was awesome!!The only thing i didnt like is there is a QR code once you get to the house and it explains all the details for appliance, safe checking out , pool ect. I would just prefer an acually book that i can read through not 50 tabs on a site.Thank you for a wonderful fisrt stay in Tamarindo , Costa Rica. You have a beautiful country. And wonderful people. Pura Vida.

Outstanding experience

Outstanding service from Cris who works with the property company- she was so helpful booking activities and answering our questions. The property was beautiful and having the pool at night and the beach so close during the day was perfect. The house was clean and comfortable. Tamarindo has a small night life that you can hear a few nights a week but we all slept soundly. We loved walking around town (sidewalks are limited at times) and still I would suggest getting a golf cart to grab lunch on a hot day. Of all the vacation houses we’ve tried this one was my favorite. We loved the security, the shaded patio during the day, good AC, and much more. We hope to come back!

Fantastic Location. Walking distance to the beach & town.

Great property & location. Had an issue with an AC unit and the repair people immediately responded. Had an issue with the Dryer and was not repaired & SB replaced. We were unable to use. Can’t hang cloths to dry outside due to the dust. Kitchen not stocked with basic items to cook, ie condiments, spices, aluminum foil/saran wrap, etc. it would have been too expensive to stock the kitchen, so we didn’t cook. Not what we expected for a two week stay.

Perfect location for beach access and surfing!

This is one of three villas located together and have been perfect for our previous trips for several reasons: it's less than a 5 minute walk to the beach, it's on a quieter end of town, and there's always been a secure area for our rental cars. Our 2 prior trips we stayed at the adjoining villa, but this property was available for our dates, so we didn't hesitate to book, knowing the gem we we're getting. Upon arrival, we were surprised to learn that the gated garage where we had planned to park our cars had been turned into a studio for the owner. We were also surprised that the owner was on the property, living below the detached room. We'd met the owner the year before and he's a lovely gentlemen, but we had assigned teenage boys the detached room for noise control in the main house. Knowing we would have to be mindful of the owner below made us uncomfortable. Also, having to park our cars on the street (after running into a tourist in Monteverde who had just had his car broken into and damaged) was very disappointing and is not disclosed on VRBO, which I pointed out to the property manager within 15 minutes of arrival. While we had to re-adjust our expectations, it didn't prevent us from enjoying the property. It was very clean, had a majority of the cookware we needed for meals, a/c units that were so good we actually turned them off in the main house for the majority of the day, and better wi-fi than we've had in the past. The pool was well maintained and a great refresher after a long day surfing. Given our surprises, I would still return to this property because it's so well-maintained and the location can't be beat!
