Great Location and Great Potential

We definitely enjoyed our stay at Casa Paquita but cannot give it 5 stars since it is in need of much needed maintenance. It is unfortunate since the layout is outstanding, amazing view of ocean from pool and house, great pool, and perfect for large group. However, there were lots of ants in the house since there were major openings around doors and windows that were not sealed properly. This could be the norm in Costa Rica since it was our first time there, but we did not have these issues in the resort we stayed at near Arenal Volcano. The contact person for the house, Jonathan, responded right away when I notified him about the ants and other bugs, and he had the house sprayed the next day. This solved the problem for a day or two, but they ended up coming back.That being said we still had a good time and appreciate all of Jonathan's assistance. His communications were excellent and also prompt. Additionally, Lola, who did the housekeeping and cooked us an amazing meal on our last night, was fantastic. Both she and Jonathan couldn't have been nicer to us.

Fantastic Girl’s Trip!

Our stay at Cssa Paquita was wonderful! Jonathan was very responsive and helpful with our requests. Lorena and her assistants spoiled us with wonderful breakfasts every day, and 2 delicious dinners. We loved the infinity pool, and we were entertained by the monkeys in the trees. Pura Vida!

Amazing stay in Tamarindo

You will not be disappointed with this house!We had a recent one week stay with adults and teenage kids. We loved our time there and were very sad to leave. Pros:Location. We ended up cancelling our car rentals before we left and were so glad we did. We ended up using the house golf cart and it was perfect. We could get everywhere we needed in the golf cart and was only a short drive 5mins into town for groceries, restaurants and shopping. You can also walk into town easily as well. The house is also right on the beach and has the most beautiful sunsets we have ever seen. You can walk for miles down the beach which is great to do before it gets too hot. The house is very safe, and we never had any concerns. Jonathan and Lorena. Jonathan was amazing. We have never had anyone so responsive on any VRBO rental we have visited. Jonathan was available to help whenever needed for booking excursions, urgent doctors visits or any household issues. Lorena cooked the most amazing meals for us and we loved that we always had leftovers for the hungry teens! I would highly recommend the breakfasts they were wonderful. Cons:Really there were none. We would stay here again for sure. Some things in the house need updating but that is to be expected. They are working to update parts, but as this is a very large property it takes time. This would not deter us from staying again. This is a fantastic house for a large group or for families with teens!

Perfect for Large Group

We stayed here for a fun mother/son trip with our high school seniors. The house was clean, beautiful, and walking distance to heart of Tamarindo. Jonathan was an excellent concierge as he organized all of our excursions for us (sunset cruise, sport fishing, waterfall hike, whitewater rafting, ziplining). He also coordinated with a chef to come in most nights and cook for our entire group. The food was amazing and she cleaned up after dinner for us as well. Jonathan also coordinated yoga lessons and massages at the house for the moms. Moms had fun, boys had fun - it was just perfect.

Everything as advertised

The property was exactly as described in the listing. Yes it going to need a little “love” soon, but still an awesome property. If you don’t have Lorena and her crew cook for you, you will be missing out on great food at a good price. She can tailor your meals to the costs that you are wanting to pay. Eating out in the Tamarindo market can get expensive. Would love to come back and stay with Jonathon and Lorena very soon!

The BEST trip!

I can't say enough good things about this property and the helpful crew!! We had a 10 day stay. Family vacation with 14 of us. 7 kids ranging from 1-12 years old. 7 adults They made our stay so easy, comfortable and fun. From the beginning of booking the house Jonathan and Daniel were extremely helpful and quick to respond. They assisted us with booking all of our excursions (catamaran cruise, fishing, tour to a waterfall and to see sloths, ziplining, horseback riding). They also arranged for transport to and from the airport. They arranged two times for our group of adults to receive massages at the house on the balcony. Originally we had booked one session but it was so great we did another. They sent two massueses. Lorraina was amazing as well! We had her cook about half of our dinners and breakfasts. They were each amazing and so tasty! She would work with us each time to see if there were any special requests. The last night we celebrated 3 birthdays. She got a cake (even made it custom) and made the best dinner of the trip! Her and her daughter decorated the house with balloons and got my little niece a crown. It was so sweet. The house itself was very nice and comfortable for all parties. We all felt we had sufficient room not to be on top of eachother. The pool was the best! Overlooking the ocean and we often had monkeys in the trees around it. It was the best trip and I can't thank Jonathan, Daniel and Lorraina enough. Highly recommend!

Marcella’s Wedding and family vacation

We had a wonderful time at Casa Paquita! Our daughter’s wedding was just down the road at Casa Los Olivos and the house was perfect for our entire family with young children and great grandmother. Lorena was the main housekeeper and we had her prepare 2 lunches and two dinners that were fabulous!! Jonathan was also very responsive for any requests that were made. I highly recommend this home!

The perfect relaxing home away from home

Several friends spent a wonderful week at this beautiful home in Tamarindo. It was the perfect combination of quiet spacious luxury, but also close to town (shopping restaurants, activities etc.). The house is set up so 6 couples had their own privacy but also lots of space to come together for group activities such as meals, games, pool time, and really good food. Having access to a golf cart for easy trips into town was a luxury as well. Highly recommended!

Great time in Tamarindo/Langosta

Had a fantastic stay for our group of 9 adult friends. The property was as described with the infinity pool being fantastic. We did have monkeys poop in the pool, which was cleaned timely :). The golf carts were useful if a bit pricey since we appreciated being a slight drive away from the bustlingTamarindo. Jonathan was a great communicator and Lorena was fantastic with her meals and cleaning. Daniel was on point with pick-up/drop offs.Meow the cat was a favorite! Will definitely stay again if back in the area.

Girls Trip

Plenty of room for a group of 11 women. Communication with Jonathan, the house manager, was excellent. He was quick to respond to any questions and assisted us with transportation, golf cart rentals, dining, and excursion recommendations. Lorena made us several breakfasts and 2 dinners that were delicious. Our favorite excursion was a private day sail with Manta Ray Sailing. We loved the pool and the short walk down to the beach. It was amazing to have coffee in the morning and watch the sunsets at night. Pura Vida.

50th Anniversary Celebration

We had a WONDERFUL stay at Casa Paquita with 12 family members. Beautiful home, lovely view, and attentive staff. Lorena prepared several meals for us and even allowed our young grandson to help with food prep. All meals were delicious. She kept the house clean, gave us fresh towels every day, and ironed our clothes for our vow renewal ceremony. Jonathan arranged golf cart rentals for us, called for transportation back to the airport, purchased food for the refrigerator prior to our arrival, and kept the pool clean. We couldn't have had a better experience while in Tamarindo. We loved staying at Casa Paquita and will cherish our time there.

The house was as pictured, but definitely more dated than the pictures. The pool was amazing. The day we arrived we did not have any water until the the next morning. No showers, flushing toilets, etc. Jonathan, the caretaker, worked with us and tried his best to get the situation taken care of. This did happen again midway through the trip when the power went out for the day. Jonathan was always there working hard to help with anything that went wrong with the house. I would highly recommend hiring Lorena to cook your meals........she was wonderful!

About the host

Hosted by Daniel Barroso

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with Costa Rica the first time we visited in August, 2000. We enjoy the beaches of Guanacaste as well as the diverse activities the area offers. The surfing, golfing, fishing, turtle watching, horseback riding, zip-lining, and boating are all great. And the restaurants are world class!!

What makes this property unique

Casa Paquita is an extraordinary location, directly on the Pacific Ocean. When you awaken in the morning and open the curtains the blue waters of the Pacific are very calming. Just walk out the back gate and you are on one of the most beautiful beaches in the world. It is very spiritual!!!

Come stay with us and let our in house cook prepare breakfast, lunch or dinner for your group and enjoy the traditional costa rican cuisine.

Example of breakfast. Costa Rican style meal. Fried rice and beans (Gallo Pinto), eggs, bacon, corn tortillas, fresh fruit, grilled cheese. etc. Or anything that you want the cook to prepare.

Example for dinner. Grilled garlic Mahi-Mahi, rice and beans, fresh salsa, guacamole, lentils soup, BBQ ribs or anything that you want the cook to prepare.
