About this property

Tranquil and Spacious Langosta Condo! A short walk to two beautiful beaches

Welcome to Casa di Malia! Located in the beautiful gold coast area, this condo is in a prime location to enjoy all that Costa Rica has to offer. This is an elegantly appointed luxury 2 bedroom, 2.5 bathroom condo. It has been newly renovated and designed. Located within walking distance to both Playa LANGOSTA and Tamarindo, this luxury property will be your home away from home. If you are travelling with family or friends, this spacious condo provides tranquility and peace while still being close enough to walk to lively Tamarindo with its collection of shops and restaurants.

Casa di Malia is part of the nine unit gated Villa Guapinol complex. The complex is very clean and well maintained. The common grounds include beautiful sitting areas to enjoy the many birds and howler monkeys that visit the area. The large pool is cleaned daily and is a perfect spot to enjoy the water if you prefer a pool day. The pool also gets shade in both the morning and late afternoon offering another way to cool off. We have pool toys in the condo for your use and enjoyment.

The spacious and well equipped kitchen has everything you would need to cook up some of your favorite dishes with the fresh vegetables and fruit available at the local feria (market) on Saturdays. And if you don't feel like cooking while on holidays, there are many restaurants just a short walk from the condo.

The open living room is comfortable and can accommodate seating for 6. The furniture is locally made and very comfortable. We feel it is important to have all of the comforts of home while away, so Wi-Fi and a Samsung 75 inch smart is available to watch your favorite programs. The large living area has its own air conditioning unit to ensure comfort.

Each large bedroom is equipped with a queen size bed with comfort in mind. Both bedrooms have their own ensuite, and closet space to make yourself right at home. The condo is equipped with new mattresses and high quality linens to ensure you get a peaceful sleep, and allow you to wake up energized for surfing, walking, yoga, or other activities you may choose to enjoy. Each bedroom has its own air conditioning unit with remote control to set the perfect temperature. There is also a double size futon in one bedroom with additional bedding to accommodate another guest and two small children. A safe is also provided.

There are so many activities to enjoy in Costa Rica including zip lining, ATV tours, nature tours, catamaran sailing, scuba diving and snorkeling, and sport fishing to name just a few. Yoga is widely available and there are so many fantastic spots right on the beach. Massages and spa treatments are also available locally. Casa di Malia is a fantastic home base to explore all that Costa Rica has to offer. There are many tours offered from Tamarindo with transportation included so a car isn't necessary. There are also many options to rent motorcycles, scooters, pedal bikes, or golf carts nearby.

The popular surf beach of Playa LANGOSTA is only a short 2 block walk from the condo. Take the beach chairs provided in the condo with you to enjoy the breathtaking sunsets. A fifteen minute walk (or short cab/bus/bike ride) in the other direction takes you to Tamarindo. There are fantastic shops, delicious restaurants, and some of the best surfing in the country.

While Costa Rica is a very safe place to vacation and live, this condo does provide an extra sense of security with a full time caretaker located right on the property. There is also a property management company that will ensure you have timely access to the condo as well as provide any information about the area you may need. We want your stay to be fantastic and are available to help in any way we can!

Quiet location close to Tamarindo

The property is clean and conviently located within walking distance of Tamarindo but in a quiet neighborhood with beach access and everything you need. There's a private pool area for the complex that the kids really enjoyed. Would definitely stay here again.

Great Stay

We stayed for 4 nights as a family of 4 (2 adults and 2 teens) and were very happy with the property. It was clean, very spacious, and nicely equipped with everything we needed. Loved that there were beach chairs, an umbrella, a cooler, boogie boards… everything we could want for a fun day at the beach! It was an easy walk to Tamarindo (about 10-15 minutes) for great restaurants, shopping and night life. The owner, Stewart, and property manager were both very helpful and responsive to any questions. We were really happy with our stay at this property and would gladly rent here again if we come back to beautiful Costa Rica!

Great place to stay

This place was a great option for our family of 4. The condo was comfortable, beautifully decorated and well stocked. We appreciated the use of beach chairs/towels. Restaurants, Playa Longosta, and a small grocery store are a short walk away. We saw Howler Monkeys most days on our walks to the beach. Tamarindo beach access is a little further away but still close enough to walk.

Great place

This condo was as advertised, clean , well stocked and the location is amazing. I talked to the owner a few times and he replied every time I had a question . Communication was fast and easy. Our washing machine broke down the day we arrived and was replaced a few days later. Would for sure stay there again. Strongly recommend this unit.

Comfortable stay in Tamarindo!

We had a great stay here. Comfortable condo with everything we needed. Our group was 4 adults (2 couples) and the place was a very good size for us. Very close to Langosta beach where you can walk down to see the sunsets or enjoy the day. Langosta beach is quieter than Tamarindo beach which is also within walking distance. The pool was clean and well maintained and very nice to have access to in the hot afternoons. About a 15-20 minute walk to the centre of town but easy to navigate. Being so close to Langosta beach was great. The sunsets are unreal.

It was the PERFECT spot :Comfort, beauty and warm all wrapped up in one as regards to the unit

It was one of the best properties we’d started air with great owners and staff who are accessible. The location is close enough to all the action but far enough to get away from the noise of Tamarindo. Perfect!!! A great stay in a wonderful Country. We will return!!

Serene Location

The property was clean accessible in a very quiet and growing community. The unit was clean and was exactly what was pictured. The host was very was accessible and easily accommodated any questions we had. The overall feel of the place was very serene even though the place was in a thriving upcoming neighborhood. We even saw monkeys playing around in front of the house. Very spectacular.

It was a quiet paradise

Casa de Malia was a beautiful little gem tucked in a neighborhood very near Playa Langosta. We were a block from a grocery store, a few restaurants and the beach. And the walk to Tamarindo was scenic and took 15 minutes. The beach at Playa Langosta was gorgeous and the sunsets were spectacular. We spent every evening down at the beach watching the sun and never did it disappoint. We loved where we were staying, the people who shared the condos and the gentleman who cared for the grounds. I would highly recommend this rental to a family of 4!

Peaceful Escape from busy Tamarindo

We had great stay at the Langosta Condo. Owner Stewart and property manager Hans were very helpful, and super responsive for any questions we had. We stayed for 5 nights over Christmas and enjoyed it very much. Far enough and close enough to downtown Tamarindo to have access, but no night and traffic noise. We stayed in 2 other places during our stay in Costa Rica, and this one was definitely the best all around stay we had. It had all the appliances, plates and utensils that you would need in a normal kitchen, and a large fridge to hold your food and drinks. The condo is nice and roomy, the AC worked great and the hot water worked fine. Nice little patio sits 2, otherwise the pool area is just below with a larger areas. Our other places did not have a pool, and regret that now, pool areas are awesome in the hot Costa Rica climates. We spent most of our time at the Langosta Beach, which is only down the block. Tamarindo beach is a bit of a walk, or short drive. All in all I would definitely book again at this place, no complaints.

Wonderful Condo!

My friend and I stayed in this condo for 11 nights. The unit has two master bedrooms both with en suite and that made the stay so comfortable. It is a large unit. The kitchen is big and had everything we needed. The air conditioning worked wonderfully (thank goodness)! The wifi was fast and reliable. There were options to watch movies as well as live TV. The condo was very clean. It is about a block and a half from the beach. The Playa Langosta area was quiet and peaceful but it is very close to Tamarindo where it is lively with shops and lots of people. You get the best of both worlds. One thing I will point out is that if a person has any sort of mobility issues they would not want to choose this condo. Both my friend and I can walk just fine; however, the steps to the second floor condo are not safe for anyone who has a knee issue or trouble with ambulation. I was recovering from a knee replacement and my friend has a bad foot so it took some doing getting up and down them. They might also be hazardous for young children. Had it not been for Alvaro, the man who works there, we would not have been able to get our bags up to the room, especially after 16 hours of traveling to get there. Even with that, we loved the condo, never tripped down the stairs and had a great time.

Spacious Tastefully Decorated Apartment with pool and near beach.

Casa di Malia is as advertised a spacious well equipped apartment with two good sized en-suite double bedrooms with good wardrobe space and plentiful clothes hangers. The kitchen is well equipped with good quality utensils.. There are effective AC units and ceiling fans throughout the property and a good TV package with access to Netflix. There is a decent sized shared pool for around 8 properties . Playa Langosta is the nearest beach around 5 mis walk. The larger main beach - where you can swim safely - is ten minutes walk via a short cut. and there is a small but well stocked supermarket very nearby. . Stewart the owner was very easy to deal with very prompt in his responses and quick to forward info regarding both the property and the local area well in advance of our stay. Hans the manager was equally easy to deal with at check in and out and we had his WhatsApp number for contact during our stay( Happily that was not necessary ) The location is quiet and on the outskirts of Tamorindo - it is possible to walk in around 20 mins or an easy Uber/slash taxi ride . Our safety deposit was returned within a few days of the end of our stay. If we come back to this area in the future we definitely want to stay here again . Thank you Stewart and Kristen for providing such a great home from home. Pura Vida!

A wonderful holiday in Langosta

We very much enjoyed our stay. The condo was perfect for us and our kiddo loved the option of playing in the beautiful pool daily rather than the waves (which, apparently, have too much sand in them for this particular five year-old). We ate in once or twice a day and LOVED ping pong, food, and drinks just around the corner at the Surf Club!

About the host

Hosted by Stewart McCullagh

Host profile image
After visiting Costa Rica for the first time three years ago, we knew we were destined to live here and it became our dream. While our full time home is in Calgary, Alberta Canada, we consider the condo our second home and are excited to share it with you! We love Costa Rica! The spectacular beaches, warm weather, incredible amount of adventurous activities to do, and the amazing people are what makes Costa Rica feel like our home.

Why they chose this property

We immediately fell in love with Villa Guapinol. It was in the best location as it was a short walk to the beach, and fantastic restaurants and shops in Tamarindo. Also, having a full time caretaker to look after the property was a benefit we have always appreciated.
