Casa Giving Tree was perfect for our family stay that included 6 adults and 4 grandchildren ages 6 - 11 years old. The casita was perfect for the grandparents who wanted to give the rest of the family their space in the main house. The house is well laid out and the split (HVAC) systems worked great. Furnishings both inside and outside were appropriate and in good repair. The washer and dryer were fairly new and very efficient. The house is in a private gated and guarded community (24 hours). Safety and security was never a concern. We rented a 6-passenger golf cart which came in very handy for for local transportation to the beach club and into Tamarindo for morning "Waffle Monkey" runs and evening trips into town for dinner. The owner provides access to Langosta Beach Club without a daily charge which provided a perfect setting for the kids to enjoy the beach, the pools and to enjoy non-stop food and beverage service poolside and beachside. The owner is also a member of the local golf course and offered member pricing on greens and cart fees which was greatly appreciated. The neighborhood has direct and exclusive access to Tamarindo Bay via several private beaches which was great for beach strolls and to take in the nightly sunsets which were remarkable. House cleaning was provided by a wonderful person who did a marvelous job. The owner is extremely helpful and quick to respond before and during our stay. We recommend this house without any hesitancy.

Our group of 10 had a great stay at Casa Giving Tree. The home is nice and spacious, well kept, and worked very well for a group trip. The location is great, just outside the main part of town so it’s quieter, but still very easy to get to restaurants, shops, and the beach.The beach club access was a nice bonus and added to the overall experience. Ben was helpful with planning and reservations, which made logistics much smoother.Overall, I’d recommend Casa Giving Tree for a group trip to Tamarindo.

A Perfect Family Getaway – Unforgettable Experience at Casa Giving TreeOur family of 10 (including both adults and children) spent an incredible week at Casa Giving Tree, and we truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the moment we booked until after our return home, the host was the most thoughtful and attentive we’ve ever encountered. She went above and beyond—providing personalized support before arrival, checking in during our stay, and even reaching out after we returned to the U.S. to make sure we arrived home safely.The home itself was exactly as described in the listing—beautiful, spotless, and thoughtfully designed. It was fully equipped with everything we needed: a modern kitchen, laundry area, and gorgeous outdoor spaces that gave everyone the freedom to relax or play, together or apart. We had plenty of space to be together as a family, but also enough room to enjoy privacy and quiet when needed.The host’s recommendations for activities, events, and transportation were spot on. She even helped arrange last-minute transportation—something we greatly appreciated while juggling a large group. She helped us schedule a private chef for a birthday dinner and even left delicious Costa Rica surprises for our son-in-law's big day. This was more than just a vacation rental—it was a true home-away-from-home experience that exceeded all expectations. We’re already dreaming of a return trip.Pura Vida!

Fantastic Week in Tamarindo/Langosta
The house was perfect for our group of 8, and accurately represented in photos and listing. Great location close enough to Tamarindo entertainment to walk or make short drive, but also is sited within a secure/gated and quiet neighborhood to also have peace and relaxation when desired. The hosts (Kenneth and Julieth) went above and beyond in the communication before and during our stay. Among many other things, they helped arrange a private chef and surprise decorations to make the 50th birthday celebration for my wife a wonderful memory.The house itself was very roomy, clean and comfortable. The staff provided several days of housekeeping and daily visits by pool/gardener to keep the property clean and orderly. Bonus - We saw so much wildlife just from our back patio (monkeys, iguanas, birds, etc). Bonus #2 - full access to nearby Langosta beach club (gym, restaurant, beach chairs, pool/cabana access, etc).
One minor negative during our stay was a (very big) new home was actively being built right next door, which of course is only a temporary issue. Site was kept tidy and crews were respectful and surprisingly quiet during our visit, but it was awkward for our group to hang out by the pool with workers literally 5-7 ft away from us at times. Overall this wouldn’t prevent us from coming back, but we would prefer to know the construction was done and/or at least there was only work in the interiors remaining.

Perfect Costa Rica Vacation
Casa Giving Tree is the perfect spot to enjoy a family/friends vacation in Tamarindo. The house was better than expected and had plenty of room for our group of 12. The house had 2 beach access points within a close walk - one to Playa Langosta and another to access Tamarindo Beach. The house was clean, A/C worked great and the living spaces were perfect for our group. We rented golf carts, which was perfect to get to and from Tamarindo - less than a 5 minute drive except for in the evenings when there was some traffic. Access to the beach club was key for our group. When we weren't doing activities/excursions we were hanging out at the beach club surfing, enjoying the pool or listening to live music. The beach club also had a great gym and yoga studio which we used often.
The hosts for this house really made it special - they were extremely helpful and responsive. I cannot say enough about how helpful and kind they were. The neighborhood where the house is located is such a great location - great beach access, super close to Tamarindo and very quiet and safe for a family group.

Great stay in Playa Langosta!
We had a great stay at Casa Giving Tree! The communication for months leading up to our stay was amazing, they helped us with lots of things for our stay (private chef, excursions, transportation, pre-arrival groceries, etc). The communication continued to be great throughout the stay as well- they even called a doctor for us to come to the house when a few of our kids got sick.
The house was amazing! Beautiful and just as pictured- was a perfect layout for our 3 families with kids. You can walk to a few places (beach, a few restaurants, a grocery store) but we rented a golf cart to make it easier to get into the main area of Tamarindo. The additional option to use the Langosta Beach Club was great- we took advantage of the gym and pool there a few days during our trip. Overall, the experience with this house was great! We will definitely come back! Thanks so much for a wonderful stay!

Great Vacation!
Our family of 9 absolutely loved our stay at Casa Giving Tree. This is a beautiful, modern, large, comfortable and very clean house. We loved the pool. We especially loved access to the Langosta Beach club. This gave us the perfect mix of a vacation home where we could all be together and some amenities of a resort (food/drink service, gym, spa). The folks at the management company super helpful and responsive-- helped us with stocking the fridge, renting golf carts (highly recommend golf carts!), and planning activities. As a busy vacation rental host myself, I know first hand that they truly went above and beyond. Great trip all around.

Convenient and comfortable!
We had an amazing stay! The property is very well located - less than a 5 min walk to the beach and a super easy walk (about 10-15 mins) to town on a nice paved sidewalk. Staying in Langosta is a huge perk given the proximity to town, but relaxed more quiet vibe. We had golf carts too which made transportation within Tamarindo seamless. The community is gated and felt super safe and the house itself was very clean and lovely. The house team made every aspect of this trip seamless, from the breakfast service to airport transfers to dinner - we hardly had to think and it was very relaxing. Thanks so much!

This house was extremely beautiful and clean. All the room were excellent. We spent a lot of time by the pool it had great sun and shade areas. They cleaned the pool daily. Housekeeping was great; It was a safe gated community very close to downtown but far enough way for privacy. I would stay there again.
