"Just for Two," Romantic, Luxury, Designer private Casita!

Villa Andalucia is perfect for honeymooners, couples, girlfriend trips, couples traveling together, active seniors, digital nomads and single women travelers. We have two private Casitas for our guest to choose from.

The design of Villa Andalucía was inspired by the Spanish Colonial homes in Spain and Antigua, Guatemala. Our property is beautifully decorated with furniture, antiques and accessories from all over the world. We have created an environment for relaxation where you can enjoy the nature and beauty of Tamarindo. You will love our simple elegance that sets us apart from other accommodations in town. We are a family run business for over 16 years and we love what we do and work hard to give you the best stay possible. Minimum stay is 5 nights unless otherwise stated on our calendar.

We have two accommodations so please email us about availability in our other Casita since this calendar only shows the availability in Casita Andalucia.

Villa Andalucia is nestled in a quiet, private neighborhood of Tamarindo and is a 5 minute walk or quick bike ride to shopping, restaurants and the beautiful beaches of Tamarindo.

Casita Andalucía has beautiful garden and pool views. This Casita has a kitchenette with a 2 burner cooktop, microwave, and mini fridge. The living area has a loveseat and armoire, flat screen TV, DVD player, and iPod cradle. The private bathroom has a large spacious shower with hot water. The comfortable bed in Casita Andalucia is queen size. both our accommodations have wireless internet and AC.

Casita Seville is located next door and overlooks a large, lush, private garden. In the garden is a rancho with two hammocks and a table and chairs for dining. Casita Seville has a kitchenette with a 4 burner cook top, microwave and full size fridge. This Casita also has a flat screen TV, DVD player, iPod cradle, private bathroom and large shower with hot water. The bed in this Casita is king size and there is a large closet for our guest with extended stays.

Villa Andalucía has parking for those with rental cars or golf carts. If Tamarindo is your only destination in Costa Rica you really do not need a car. We can arrange private transport to and from the Liberia Airport for our guest, the fare is $90.00 total per couple each way. We can arrange your pick you up at the Tamarindo airport if you flying in from San Jose. Laundry service is available for $10.00 per load.

Our family at Villa Andalucia are delighted to introduce you to Tamarindo and give you a list of recommended restaurants, tours, fishing excursions and answer any questions you might have to make your vacation with us the best ever.

We are a small property which enables us to give our guest the individualized special attention and treatment they deserve during their stay with us. We consider ourselves a high quality property for an exceptional price.

If you are looking for a quiet, peaceful, relaxing, vacation within the confines of a private Villa, this is the place for you. If a vacation of partying and carousing town is more your style, please seek accommodations elsewhere as that type of travel style is not permitted at Villa Andaluica. Only the guest on the reservation are allowed on the property for everyones safety and comfort.

We are the perfect place for Honeymoons, Baby-moons, elopements, executive surf trips with your wife, anniversary celebrations, birthdays, romantic getaways, parents of the bride or groom, digital nomads and safe place for you ladies traveling alone.

We look forward to having you stay with us at Villa Andalucía.

Wonderful property and hosts, great location!
Jolene and Gary have created a wonderful space in their garden and rooms that they rent out. Everything was topped off with the most delicious breakfast before our busy day adventuring around town. They’re well-connected in the community and could give you recommendations to anything you might want to do. We loved our stay, the garden is amazing and the room was well equipped and super comfortable. we’d definitely visit here again!

Great romantic vacation spot!
Jolene and Gary were like old friends! We enjoyed our conversations with them both and were surprised at how much we had in common. We came to Tamarindo to celebrate our 7th wedding anniversary. This was our second time in Tamarindo. Gary gave us some amazing recommendations for restaurants which were all fabulous. The short walk to the beach was easily accessible and there was a grocery store a block away. Maria was an amazing cook and her breakfasts were better than any meal you can get in a restaurant. There is no need to rent a car, everything is an easy walk. The accommodations were beautifully decorated with finds from Gary and Jolene’s travels and the bed was comfortable, shower had hot water, all appliances worked great and the bed was comfortable. I cant think of a single thing they can improve on. They arranged for our transport to and from the airport which was timely and comfortable. We will definitely be back!! We feel like family 😊

Honeymoon stay
We stayed with Jolene and Gary for the 2nd part of our honeymoon. Their home was so beautiful and they were so welcoming that we knew we picked the correct place. Stunning property, close to everything but separate enough not to hear anything. Would definitely stay there again.

OMG What a wonderful place! I would recommend it to my family, friends and everyone els!
The property was amazing! It was clean, beautiful and had so much local flavor and ambiance. Even better than the property were the hosts!! They were exceptional!! They greated us when we arrived and welcomed us with a tour of the property and a venture into town to pick up some groceries and dinner for the night. The next morning we were treated to an amazing breakfast provided by Maria. She did breakfast Monday to Friday and there were times that we didn’t need much more during the coarse of the day. They made sure we were comfortable and if there was anything wanting ( which there wasn’t ) they would look after it. Gary and Jolene made all our arrangements for drivers and tours, they recommended restaurants, dropped us off at the beach and accompanied us to a true local sopa. It was sad to say goodbye to such amazing “friends”. We hope to see them again on our next visit to Costa Rica

This was such a fantastic place to stay in Tamarindo. Not only is it absolutely beautiful, it is so close to all the restaurants, shops, and beach. Maria’s breakfast every morning was incredible! All of Jolene and Gary’s recommendations for actives were spot on and so fun. Douglas was a fantastic guide and Eric was an awesome surf instructor!

Beautiful property, perfect location and Gary and Jolene are the best hosts ive ever had. Made you feel right at home and super helpful!

Our stay at the Villa was delightful and Jolene & Gary are the best hosts ever. We felt welcomed as soon as we walked onto the property. The gardens are a great place to spend the afternoon with a book. Maria made and served us very tasty breakfasts. The Villa is close to downtown & restaurants but far enough away to be quiet & restful. An exceptional place to spend some time.

Fantastic Property!
We very much enjoyed our stay at this property. The owners are very good hosts and they have an awesome property in a great location! Everything was perfect from the moment we arrived! Our casita was beautiful and comfortable and we looked forward to the delicious breakfast every morning. We took the owners recommendations for tours and hired their recommended private driver. Worked out great and the driver even took us to our next location in Arenal. Very convenient. The owners were so friendly and took us to an amazing local restaurant for lunch. Tamarindo beach can be very busy and this location was a perfect relaxation spot after fun days exploring the beach and surrounding area. Highly recommend!

Awesome first trip to Costa Rica
We were hesitant to leave the U.S. for the first time during the pandemic but we are soooo happy that we did. Gary and Jolene’s place is fabulous - Jolene was out of town but no problem there as Gary (and Maria) took such care to make sure our stay was unforgettable. And Gary went above to make sure we got connected with Douglas to get our tours lined up. We will definitely plan a return trip and hopefully the kids can join us. Thank you, thank you!!!
