Amazing right on the water, BEACHFRONT studio near Tamarindo
9.8 out of 10, Exceptional, (84)
"Very private feeling tucked away little spot on the beach. This beach was never overly busy and sometimes we had it all to ourselves! Sandy and clean. This is not located in a tourist hub, but a local neighborhood. Be advised the road in is rough and you will want a high clearance vehicle."

"I enjoyed my stay here. A short ways from town, a quiet location and clean accommodations. I believe that most all listings in the travel apps need much improvement on ease of actual property locations. Pictures of key locks and location of actual unit need to be posted more clearly. Possibly an information letter to greet guests with community information. Contact information, etc. Overall, this unit was very nice!"

"If you are looking for a trip to stay at the beach to surf or swim, this is a good place. It is nice, safe, secure, has most all of the basic necessities and my hosts were kind and helpful when I had questions or needed anything. It was close to a busy street and restaurants so there was a lot of noise at times. It was right on the main road yet near the end of it so you can walk to get to all the shops and restuarants."

"We loved our time here! The apartment was clean, good sized and we loved that we had a kitchen. The most wonderful part of the experience for us was that we had access to the pool next door ant the Coast Hotel and their shaded beach chairs! We were steps from the beach and right next to the public beach access or could use the hotel access. It truly made our trip seamless and fun. The Mediterranean restaurant across the street was delicious and we were 5 minutes or less walking from restaurants...

"We enjoyed watching the sunrise and sunset from our patio and balcony. We were greeted by a family of monkeys in the tree above our patio they day we checked in which was very cool. Condo is well located for visiting several of the beautiful beaches nearby, It was stocked with pretty much everything we needed. A couple items listed in amenities (hair dryer & iron) were not in the condo when we arrived but we reported it to the host who quickly responded and brought us those items."

"No surprises here, exactly as listed. Communication with the Host was always timely. They turned us onto a great transport service to and from Liberia Airport. This place is on the small side but had everything we needed for our stay. It was very clean and comfortable. The king bed was on the hard side and not the foam mattress we are used to but worked fine. The air con runs all the time and makes some noise but we like some white noise when we sleep. Easy walk to the beach and 3 restaurants....

"Overall, this was a good property. The location was right in town, and it was easy to walk to everything. Communication with the leasing company was excellent; they quickly responded to questions. The pool area was clean, and lots of chairs were available. The AC worked well downstairs, but it was a bit warm upstairs. There were enough pool towels for each of us to have one, but could have used a few more bath towels. The inside was very clean but a bit old and could use some updating. The...

"Overall unit was clean, good size and AC worked well. Location was great. A short walk away from the tourist activity and the beach. There was a generator or something outside of the second bedroom which was very noisy day and night. That was an issue. Safe was not usable. It would have been nice to have the use of some beach chairs or toys. Many other units rented in other countries had a few toys to use."
