About this property

Casa Oasis - Langosta Paradise

Casa Oasis is a beautiful, exclusive family home in Playa Langosta that is steps to the beach. It features a Mediterranean-contemporary design and architecture, as well as a lush tropical garden. The main house offers 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms with a detached guest house that is 1 bedroom and 1 bath.

It is truly the perfect set up for a family vacation.

Playa Langosta is located around a half mile south of Tamarindo. It is nestled in a quiet residential community that although is not gated, is very private and thought of as the perfect place to stay when visiting the Tamarindo area. The beach is beautiful and the natural surroundings are well preserved. There is good surfing and other beach activities. Because of its proximity to Tamarindo, there are plenty of tours and activities that can be easily attained.

The house was remodeled in Oct/Nov of 2022, so any issues from past reviews about cabinets, countertops, or cooktops have been entirely remodeled. Plus new appliances and water heater. There is also new porcelain glossy flooring throughout most of the house.

Please note that reservations for New Years week. There will be a 7 night minimum that week that fall under those dates beginning on Sunday of that upcoming week. Any deviation will result in a cancellation of the reservation. Thanks for understanding.

nice location

Very nice place, clean and comfortable. Not a big deal, but be aware that water availability in that area might be very restricted during the dry season; we were asked to be very careful with water usage, which we were, and we had no problems with 7 people for 5 days. Also worth noting that the casita is good for one person, but has no door to the bathroom (just a curtain), so not ideal for a couple. Otherwise, everything was great. Clean place, everything we needed, good communication.

Nice Private Home Close to Beach

House is a great size and the pool is awesome. Super clean and air conditioning worked well. Landscaper was by every day to sweep up and clean the leaves from the pool. 5-minute walk to the beach as well as a couple of restaurant/bars right in Playa Langosta. Walk to Tamarindo in 15 minutes or a 6 Uber. Highly recommend!

Great location, nice pool and comfortable beds

Walking distance to the beach, nice pool to chill in, nice seating area in the back to have dinners outside, big enough place to suit 5 of us. Place is a little tired from renting out with lights not always working in the master bedroom bathroom and some damage to the kitchen cabinets and countertops. But it was clean and comfortable for all of us. The fridge was a good size too.

Comfortable and easy

We had a great time at Casa Oasis in Playa Langosta. The house was clean and comfortable, an easy walk to the beach and a quick drive to town. Finding the place was a bit of a challenge, but that is no fault of the owner. He provided us with good directions and Google Maps is accurate. All issues were resolved quickly. Prince, the cat, is charming.

Epic Location, Great Communication, Cool Property!

Thid property is a steal of a deal for the area. Great beds and bedrooms, a cool pool and deck, very secure and safe and great communcation from the host. I would say it is nicer than the photos communicate. That being said, it could use some TLC in little areas....loose cupboard handles, frayed light fixtures, and a lot of the dishes/silverware didnt seem extremely clean. The bathrooms were adequate of course but the showers were very covered in limescale (though they still worked fine). Just something to be aware of if you are expecting 5 stars. That being said...we weren't home much and it was still a great fit and value for us!

Great house in an awesome location

Casa Oasis is a perfect place to get away. We rented the house with another couple (4 adults in total) and had plenty of room to lounge around, have fun, and have your own space. The master bedroom is great with a terrific changing/closet area. The pool is perfect when you don't feel like making the 5 minute walk to the beach and Ronnie the pool guys is SO sweet! Maria, the property manager is very helpful and attentive. One of the other people we were traveling with had their bags lost at the airport and Maria jumped right on the phone to assure that they would get to her. A few hours later and the bags were at our front door! The locations of the house is ideal, very close to Playa Langosta, which is lovely and less crowded then Tamarindo. However, if you are seeking some night life, restaurants, bars, shopping etc. Tamarindo is a short walking distance and quick bike ride. Overall, we had a terrific time at Casa Oasis, we will definitely be back soon! P.S. Prince the cat is a pretty funny little guy. He brought crabs to the front door every morning and sun bathed all afternoon. We are generally not 'cat people' but he was a really sweet guy.

Playa Longasta - On-line description inaccurate

The property needs a LOT of TLC. Compared to adjacent properties it is quite run-down considering that the rental price is comparable. We were there for 3 weeks and were without Wifi for about half of that time which made it very difficult to plan excursions, keep in touch, etc. The property description was inaccurate. It is actually not as close to the beach as the photos make it seem. Not too far (5 to 10 minutes) but our expectations were different than the reality. Cleanliness was not great. We had cockroaches in the kitchen drawers. As other reviews have said, the inside space is quite dark. More lighting is needed. Thankfully air conditioning worked great. We made it work for us but for the price I know we could have stayed in better accommodations.

A very nice place. :)

The property is very, very nice. The only problem is that it is just a little worn and could use some love. The hot tub doesn't actually get hot, the main chair in the living room could use replacing and one of the cabinet shelves kept falling off. However, this is merely nitpicking on a wonderful, large and inexpensive property at which to stay. The house is huge, the rooms are nice (especially the master bedroom and bath) and the air conditioners work very well. Also, when we had problems, the caretaker came over and took care of things right away. Overall, I would definitely recommend it.

Quiet and restful

Some of us liked the house more than others. I personally loved the front and back patios, the beds were comfortable and the air conditioning was good. When we arrived the pool was not working but it was fixed quickly and was maintained daily along with the outside patio being swept etc. We all felt the house needs more light. It was very dark inside and there was not adequate lamps. It would be very helpful if there were some written directions for where to find what light switch and how to operate the oven ( a complete mystery) and for those of us not familiar with the air conditioners , a brief note on how they are operated. More ice trays would be wonderful as well. The neighborhood was quiet and we loved the cat! We found the beach at the Playa Logosta Beach Club the best. This is a perfect house for a laid back family and kids would love the pool.

Great family home

The home was great. It was spacious, clean and comfortable. The location was within walking distances to stores and activities, and best of all the country was amazing! We rode horses, surfed every day, shopped explored and ate. It was our best family vacation ever.

Great location, well stocked, nice design, great amount of space

This house is perfectly located near beautiful Playa Langosta away from the hectic feel of Tamarindo, yet close enough to enjoy the city if you choose. 8 of us stayed at the property in perfect comfort. The kitchen is well stocked, the bbq is great, the pool is a perfect way to cool off, and the lovely trees all over the yard make it a tropical paradise. There are two large sitting areas to enjoy outdoor meals. Prince, the cat, is a gem. We had a few logistical/maintenance issues including a major light fixture burned out, a washing machine that doesn't really work (but we weren't told this), a blocked shower drain, and too early cleaning service on the day we were leaving. As soon as we reported the maintenance issues, they were fixed immediately except the washing machine, but we managed. If you go, know that the ice maker does not work, so buy bags of ice and we added 2 ice cube trays to the property for future renters. Also set your expectations that the hot tub is not hot - it's just a nice way to soak in the warm nights or have some jets on your back. Personally, our family and guests found the main room very dark, so hanging out there at night was hard, but we spent most of the time outside and one could read in some of the bedrooms. Enjoy this property, it is really a great vacation house.

We had an amazing stay at Case Oasis!

We came to Costa Rica for our son's wedding and wanted a villa close to his location in Playa Langosta. We're so glad we rented this villa. It was in an excellent location, far enough away from Tamarindo so we could enjoy the quiet, but close enough to walk in and enjoy the restaurants, shops and nightlife. The villa was clean and comfortable and I thought the kitchen was one of the best equipped in any of the properties that I've rented. We cooked in quite a bit and I didn't find anything lacking. If you're there on a Saturday morning walk/drive into Tamarindo and go to the farmer's market for local fresh fruit and vegetables. The outdoor cooking area was a great place to fix a meal and relax. We loved the pool/Jacuzzi area and spent quite a bit of time there as it was windy during our stay and hard to stay on the beach with the flying sand. We were assured by the locals that this was not the norm, but the wind was pretty consistent for the two weeks we were there. The pool and Jacuzzi both stayed cool, which was welcome after the heat of the day. There is space for a car/golf cart, but we just walked or used a taxi. We used the taxi stand in Tamarindo (got a card our first day there for the number) and they were prompt and had newer, clean cars. If you use them tell them Quatro Gringos sent you. They'll know right where Casa Oasis is! Bokas (tapas), El Sap (pizza) and Matties (salads/sandwiches) are all close the house with great food. There's a little market at the end of the street which we used frequently for ice cream. In Tamarindo we ate at Pangas Beach Club, Pategonia, The Ocean, La Palapa, Witch's Rock/Volcano Brewing, Seasons, and El Bey, which were all good. We did the buffet at Capitan Suiza and were disappointed. I wouldn't go back there again. We did have a minor issue and contacted the property manager who had someone there in about fifteen minutes. Prince the cat was a welcome addition to our week. He loves to be petted and fussed over. All in all we had a great two weeks there and would definitely rent this property again.

Beautiful house but needs some maintenance

We all enjoyed our stay at Casa Oasis, the layout of the house was great with plenty of space for the six of us. We especially enjoyed having Prince stay with us during our visit. Always there to welcome us back from our day trips. Although the house was great, there were a few things that really require some attention. The right front element on the stove didn't work and the stove top itself was in rought shape. The ice maker didn't work. The coffee maker stopped working, the washing machine did not spin at the end of the cycle so we ended up having to ring out the laundry each time and the Hot Tub really could not be used. Generally speaking the house was showing its age.

A comfortable oasis in Playa Langosta, close to the quiet beach & to services in Tamarindo

Our party of 8 enjoyed the comfort and amenities at this property. It was super-close by foot to the natural and quiet beach and minutes by car to all the action and services in the town of Tamarindo and to the busy beach. The host and the property management team was super-responsive in accommodating us as we were a last-minute rental. The house is in need of some minor updating in terms of household items and style but other than that, it is an excellent rental property to consider in the area.

A true Oasis!

We truly enjoyed our stay at Casa Oasis. We arrived a little later than planned after driving from Arenal/La Fortuna, and Maria was able to get a guard from another house to let us in. We didn't really get a tour of the house/facilities, but the writeup Peter sent prior was extremely thorough, so we got the gist fairly quickly, which more than enough space for our group of 6... + Prince the cat who lives at the house. The house itself was well decorated, extremely spacious, and amazingly comfortable for all of us. The pool was great (we did not use the hot tub since we were more than comfy with the pool). The house is just a short walk to the beach, to Matty's, and the pizza place (the name escapes me at the moment), a yummy tapas place (Bokas), and a small grocery store. It is close to Tamarindo (we didn't really want the hustle and bustle), and very close the the Langosta Beach Club and Revive Wellness center which is where my daughter and I spent time while the boys went to look for more monkeys in the mangroves. They were also fascinated by the gecko's and iguanas and birds we could see from our lovely oasis - pool area surrounded by palm trees, and enjoyed lounging midday/late afternoon in the shade and the pool. It was also only short jaunt to Lola's/Playa Avellanas where we went to watch the sunset. (NOTE: Lola's stops serving food after the sun sets, so if you are planning to go there for dinner, get there a little before sunset.) Would recommend Casa Oasis to anyone who wants to stay near the Tamarindo scene, but not in the thick of it.

A True Oasis!

We had the pleasure of spending 7 nights in Casa Oasis. This house had everything our family needed- plenty of bedrooms, several sitting areas both inside and out, and a full kitchen. When we were in Costa Rica, it was is in the high 90's every day, and it was always a pleasure to come back to the house, have a dip in the clean pool, and sit in one of the lovely outdoor shaded areas with our best friend for the week, Prince the Cat. If you are a cat lover, prepare to fall head over heels in love with this very sweet boy. This house is in a great location- Langosta- about a 15-20 minute walk from bustling Tamarindo. For us, we enjoyed being in a quieter area, but having access to the more lively part of town within minutes. With that said, right near the house, there are some restaurants if you don't feel like venturing out. There is Matty's, which is great for breakfast or lunch, Bokas, which has tapas and cocktails, and our favorite, El Sapo, which had outstanding Italian-style pizza. There is also a little market just down down the street for some essentials, food, water, and alcohol. There is beach access about 2 minutes from the house, and we found that the most beautiful part of the beach was about halfway between Langosta and Tamarindo. This area had very few rocks and good sand and surf, plus it was much quieter than in Tamarindo. With that said, we enjoyed going to Tamarindo also for the activity, restaurants, and nightlife, and if you are feeling lazy or it is late at night, you can get a taxi for $5 to/from the house. We would gladly stay at Casa Oasis if we were to return the Guanacaste area- it suited us perfectly. We felt very safe there, and it was a clean, comfortable house. I would highly recommend staying here for a quiet neighorhood minutes away from fun!

Great house!

My family and I were really happy with the location of the house and the house itself. We tried most if the recommended restaurants on the list provided by the owner Peter. All were great! Our two favorite were La Esquina and Pangas. House is a good distance from the party area and we always felt safe. The house cat Prince is the most charming cat I've ever met. He's very loving and was always waiting for our arrival. Next time I'm in Tamarindo I will definitely stay at Casa Oasis.

Nice Oasis

Great gated property off the edge of the hustle of little Tamarindo. Less about the town- more about the house.... Well located. super outdoor area with an awesome pool with jets. the hot tub we didnt use since it was already hot out. Nice kitchen with adequate supplies to get essential cooking done. dishwasher. AC throughout worked very well and was a super addition. We found the lighting throughout to be a little on the dim side, especially in the kitchen area but it was adequate. Rooms were good size and the living room was a super space for gathering. Their were eight of us and we all had a bed. The little outbuilding has a bedroom and bathroom and is a cute addition. It had its own AC. Everything was very clean and in good order. The locks and keys were a little bit of a chore as they don't all match but we figured it out. The furnishings could use an update and/or a womens touch as they were just a little sparse. The courtyard was awesome with trees and plants. There is a grill in good condition but we did not use, and an outside table area. The owner was very accomodating and friendly. We had a few hiccups with travel that would have caused big problems but the owner was willing to be flexible- turned out we were able to make our scheduled visit as planned. The property manager was not around on the weekend but let us in quickly and answered the basic questions. The cat was a nice addition and added a little homeyness to the property. Its a fun place, and helped give us a great trip. We would recommend it and could stay again. We hit Rosa's and recommend it (worth the drive) and there is certainly no lack of places to eat in Tamarindo. Just not enough days. We had cars and would recommend the convenience. Enjoy!

About the host

Hosted by Peter

Host profile image
I am an orthopedic surgeon from So Cal who has traveled and surfed in Costa Rica for years. I will retire there someday, but in the meantime, will rent out my tropical oasis for vacationers to enjoy. I hope to add onto the home in the future - maybe 2 more levels. This home has great potential.

Why they chose this property

I have been traveling to Tamarindo for many years and always wanted to buy a home in the area. I love Costa Rica and Tamarindo is the best area to visit. Playa Langosta is a beautiful beach that is located near the Tamarindo area. It's a great place to own property.

What makes this property unique

The property offers a close beach proximity and privacy. It is close to the hustle and bustle of Tamarindo, but retains tranquility. The house is the perfect place for a family vacation. There is a huge living room with kitchen and living room islands that is great for entertaining small crowds. There is also a wine refrigerator. The home interior is exquisite and the exterior is very functional with a beautiful tropical garden and pool/jacuzzi.
