Great place to stay and good location!

Awesome accomodations

My 3 daughters and I enjoyed our stay at this property. Plenty of space / 3 bathrooms / close to Langosta beach. We walked Tamarindo every morning for coffee. Tamarindo is very busy with lots of activity and this property was close enough to enjoy it all without being right in the middle of it

Clean, comfy & well equipped

Loved the location! A short walk from the bustle of central Tamarindo. The condo is on a quiet strip, a few steps from Playa Langosta. The property was very clean, and well-equipped. We were able to cook a larger dinner easily in the kitchen. We loved the pool and sitting out on the patio in the evenings.

Sometimes when you are looking on vacation rental sites you can get a little nervous about what your experience will be. All of us agreed this was the best experience we have had in all our travels. The condo was the perfect size, the best amenities, fully equipped and we met amazing neighbours from all over the world. You won’t be disappointed by choosing Casa Serena.

First time to Costa Rica was a success!

Casa Serena was incredible, and definitely made our vacation a success. It had all the comforts of home, with clean sheets, comfortable furniture and a large beautiful kitchen. The feeling of being at a resort with the freedom of exploring the surrounding city and culture! Minutes away from the beach and only a 10 minute walk or bike ride to Tamarindo, we were able to surf everyday. The condo was immaculate, and the service was always helpful! Even the neighbours were friendly! Tamarindo was an awesome little beach town, we never had a bad meal! Great night life, and full of things to do every day. We went deep sea fishing, surfing, ziplining and adventuring. The condo made the perfect home base. Would highly recommend to everyone!!

Absolute Paradise!

Casa Serena was perfect from the moment we got there! The property manager William was there when we arrived and showed us around the beautiful condo. William told us all about Tamarindo and Langosta, where to eat, shop etc. And there was fruit waiting for us too when we arrived! SO SWEET! The place was so clean and spacious, the beds were so comfy and it had everything we could ever need for cooking, going to the beach and hanging out in the pool. Oh did i mention this place had an amazing pool too?! They even had a cleaning lady come halfway through our stay to make sure everything as clean. Casa Serena is walking distance from Playa Langosta and downtown Tamarindo so you are centrally located, no need for a rental car. Thank you Casa Serena for the perfect relaxing, romantic getaway!

Beautiful quiet oasis just minutes from everything.

We arrived at the airport and immediately found our smiling driver. He wisked us away to Langosta Beach. He helped us with our luggage and introduced us to the security. We felt immediately at home, the condo was gorgeous with super high ceilings, beautiful decor and two bedrooms with ensuite baths high closets and most importantly they were separated by the living room for ultimate privacy. There is even a powder room for guests. Our balcony was huge and overlooked the private pool. It was very quiet and private. The kitchen had all of the space you could ask for and we had no trouble getting everything we needed at the grocery store around the corner. We enjoyed walking to all of the beaches, watching the spectacular Pacific sunsets and visiting all of the local bars and restaurants. We had amazing culinary treats as well as finding a craft brewery right on the beach at Langosta. We enjoyed golfing at the beautiful Mariott course, and excursions were reasonably priced and pick and delivery right to the door. We would not hesitate to recommend a stay here, it was a perfect get away for us. Thanks to everyone who helped make it so easy and special.

Perfect in every way!

I can’t say enough good things about Jennifer and her property. It was absolutely perfect. Location was great, 5 minutes walk to the beach and good restaurants. 20 to 30 minutes walk to Tamarindo. Try the surf grill 2 minutes from the condo, they have excellent food. The property was immaculate and we even had a cleaning lady come mid trip to freshen it up. The beds were ultra comfortable and had good quality linen. Jennifer had put lots of little attention like leaving make-up wipes and coffee for us to use during our stay. The pool was awesome and not too crowded. The condo is bigger than shown in the pictures. We enjoyed all the amenities provided. It was great to sit on the balcony to sip our coffee. The checkin was super smooth and the instructions very easy to follow. Would recommend this space 100%. Absolutely lovely. All pros and no cons. Ps: there is a little market nearby that serves as a convenience store. Make sure you calculate the conversion of price before buying stuff to avoid surprises when you check your credit card statement. It was really expensive. Ex: a pack of salami with 8 thin slices: $30. Better to go do your groceries in town.

Great family vacation, highly recommend

We had a great Christmas family vacation staying out of this spot. We (couple + 2 kids) stayed here 6 nights, and all amenities including the kitchen, beds and baths were great. The property pool was great to relax in, and there are at least 2 good restaurants with great Italian food within 5-10 min walks. We hung out at Playa Langosta beach which is a 5 min walk and Tamarindo beach (short taxi ride) on 2 separate days. Both the beaches were awesome, with shallow sections and awesome views. The main town, with great restaurants and stores, was bustling with people so the place was a convenient distance away. We didn't rent a car due to our touring plans, but renting a golf cart may be useful, we couldn't as there weren't any available. We took private tours to the volcanoes and rain forests from here on 3 days, and the tours were also great. The tour guides made the drives very interesting and we often stopped to look at birds and animals they would spot. The only downside was the drive time from this beach town, as we had to do 2-4 hrs each way on each tour. But we chose this spot to be able to relax and enjoy the surroundings in the evenings and on the days we were not heading out, and that worked out perfectly. Jennifer was great, very responsive every time, and helped arrange the tours. Highly recommend this place for a beach getaway in Costa Rica! This was our first time in CR, and we will go back there for sure.

5 Star Relaxation at Casa Serena!

Stayed at Casa Serena with my girlfriend for 10 days and loved every second of it! Everything we needed was at our fingertips. We spent afternoons relaxing by the well-maintained pool. Walked to both playa langosta (a 5 minute walk) and downtown Tamarindo (10-15 minute walk) to relax on the beach and enjoy the amazing sunsets. When we decided to stay-in we found the the kitchen to be fully functional--with everything we needed to make breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The property itself felt very safe, I wouldn't think a security guard would be necessary at this location but It added to the peace of mind. The full time security guard (who is also an amazing guitarist) and the locals were extremely pleasant throughout our stay. In addition, the property manager helped us arranged various excursions and activities (highly recommend the Anteres sailboat tour) which was great for us as first time visitors to Tamarindo. We also found the local convenience store, located just around the corner, had almost everything we needed (fruits, veggies, eggs, beer, wine, snacks, sunscreen, etc.) We did not have a vehicle during our stay and never felt a need for one staying at Casa Serena. All in all we tremendously enjoyed our stay and will certainly return to this property in the future. I highly recommend both Playa Langosta and this villa in particular. It was great to get "off the grid" without sacrificing comfort or convenience.

Nice place, great beds, sweet location!

We walked to surf every day, takes about 3-5 minutes! The beds are nice for recovering from a long session, very comfortable! The deck was terrific for breakfast and sitting outside in the evening cool down too. I streamed the NBA games from my laptop onto the TV with the HDMI cable they had there instead of watching it in Spanish on ESPN there. The internet was fast enough that it streamed just fine. It was quiet all night, but in the morning when you open the door and windows the monkeys and birds are pretty darn vocal. It’s amazing to see so much life right there where you are staying. We will be back again thanks for everything!
