About this property

Large Penthouse Villa - rare 3 bedroom with private decks, private dipping pool

The beautiful Spanish style villas at La Esquina are only 100 meters from the beach. Our villa welcomes you as you enter a naturally lush landscaped complex with a refreshing pool and a private dipping pool on our spacious private terrace.
The entire complex, including the large parking area, is walled, and gated with community guard patrol service. La Esquina has beautifully maintained lush grounds that attracts lots of birds for viewing.

La Esquina penthouse has 3000 spacious square feet of indoor/outdoor living. Located on the top/penthouse/3rd floor level(with elevator); the penthouse takes up the entire third floor. . Complete with a private open air/covered dining patio that seats 12+ along with your own private dipping pool right on the private oversized terrace for perfect indoor/outdoor living..

This gorgeous stucco complex has the most beautiful pool in Playa Langosta or Tamarindo - 90 foot garden swimming pool complete with lush tropical plants surrounding, lounge chairs and an outdoor luxury shower. Your condo is professionally furnished, offering 3 large ensuite bedrooms, a large great room for relaxing, a private terrace off of each bedroom with comfy chairs for reading/napping. It also offers a large, open, teak and well equipped, granite kitchen complete with an adjacent BBQ terrace. Barbeque terrace also has table and chairs for four persons, fan and light.This villa also has a laundry room with washer and dryer, and 3.5 full-sized tiled bathrooms. Very fast internet that you can even receive WIFI at the large pool downstairs,

The open dining room area will comfortably seat 8 adults with additional dining area off of the large terrace adjacent to the great room(where you can sit 8 more!). There is also and additional open air patio on the roof only one flight above. You and your guests can take in the stunning views of the Playa Langosta coastline and spectacular sunsets.

Open the main entrance door to the penthouse and walk right up a half flight of stairs to the roof deck and enjoy the sunset or have breakfast while watching the waves. The common roof deck hosts views spanning over Langosta beach and the mountains and is constantly visited by the ocean breezes year round.

The beach is a short stroll down a garden path and is great for strolling, tide pooling or walking to the lively town of Tamarindo. Playa Langosta is a quiet upscale residential community, but only a 15-20 minute beach walk (or five minute ride) to the lively town of Tamarindo known for its fabulous surfing, dining, shopping and fun. There is also a great surfing beach at Playa Langosta that is about a 5 minute walk from the condo.. You can walk to Tamarindo from Playa Langosta on the Beach at low tide, or on road at all times.

Absolutely the best beach club ever is 5 minutes away, with outstanding food, beach tables, equipment to rent (kayaks, etc.) and surf lessons.

La Esquina is located in a quiet, safe, and low-density residential neighborhood of oceanfront estates and elegant condos. There’s green space across the street, providing a home to howler monkeys, tropical birds, and iguanas, and a canopied park with a winding path to the white-sand beach of the Pacific Ocean, only 100 yards from the condo. Just follow the sound of the surf…

Pura Vida!

Beautiful villa!

We just left our villa today, it was a perfect stay and a great location! We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend! The house is very spacious and the outdoor patio as well. We loved the outdoor dipping pool on the patio. Daniela and Janet are very accommodating and prompt with their responses!

Family Stay in Tamarindo

This lovely villa was perfect for our family of 5 adults. Beds were comfy. Kitchen was well outfitted. Spacious living area and delightful porches. Felt very safe and secure. Would have appreciated better water pressure in the shower, but I also understand we were visiting a country that is working hard to control water usage. We would go back to this property any chance we had!

Great place to stay!

Loved our accommodations! Having a golf cart was definitely important for getting around but we appreciated being a bit removed from the busyness of downtown Tamarindo. Nice to have a few restaurant options close by, as well as the market.

Spacious indoor and outdoor condo in lovely setting

This large condo is well appointed and comes as advertised. The price point for this owner-loved condo makes it a good value. Positive points: Spaces are well designed, furniture is in good enough condition to be comfortable yet inviting for use even with kids, patio spaces are great, dipping pool is attractive even if you don't use it, the condo pool is exceptional (well designed and cared for), the concierge was extremely responsive (Daniela was our contact), kitchen was appropriately stocked, appliances were very good (dishwasher had problems but is being replaced). The owner is extremely responsive and personable--you can tell she wants you to enjoy your stay. Beds had good mattresses, towels were new and high quality, linens good. Great restaurants within easy walk (2-10 minutes, all very safe). The less than perfect (for some): There is some road noise during the day as a city bus stops across the street and you can hear it from the patio (no issue inside the condo), the howler monkeys in the trees across the street can wake you up early (but that is really kind of fun!), the TV is a small by today's standards (but hey, who is there to watch TV?--and if you must watch, the channels are extensive). The unit has limited views of the ocean but the inviting upstairs observation area has good ocean views. 3 min walk to beach. Highly recommend this rental.

Vacation with friends

This property was wonderful. Walking distance to a beach with a lovely sunset. Felt safe as it had a locking gate and guards at night. Town is walkable but it’s a bit of a hike but there was a lot of cute restaurants that were close. The space was big and had plenty of room to spread out. Nice kitchen to cook in. Outside area with dipping pool. This was perfect place for a larger group like ours.

Fantastic Langosta Penthouse

What a wonderful vacation home! Our 3-generation family of 6 especially loved the size and arrangement of the rooms, the refreshing plunge pool on the deck, and the stunning sunset views from the roof. The property is well-tended and perfectly situated in a quiet neighborhood just south of busy Tamarindo. We enjoyed walks on both beaches, swims in the lovely pool, and many delicious meals in the neighborhood and in town. Thank you, Janet and Daniela, for your good suggestions and just the right amount of help. We hope to return!

Great location close to Tamarindo

We enjoyed being close to the restaurants and shops in Tamarindo but away from the crowds. Langosta beach is beautiful and a very short walk away. Howler monkeys came past the condo daily. The local restaurants in Playa Langosta are all fantastic. Although Tamarindo is certainly walking distance, the heat made it difficult so renting a golf cart was very handy.

Great stay in Tamorindo

This condo is the full floor and has 3 bedrooms, a nicely appointed kitchen and a fabulous deck. The deck is shaded and has a large table as well as lounge chairs. We spent most of our stay out on the deck! There is a splash pool for cooling off as well as a larger, lovely pool for the condo complex. The location was quiet and located an easy drive away from the active areas of Tamorindo. We rented a golf cart for 6 whiched worked well. There is only one outlet for charging near the parking area so using a gas powered cart might be a better option. The rental coordinator was fantastic and we were able to book travel experiences through her as well as receive information quickly and easily. I would highly recommend this property!

A dream for our family

We were lucky enough to rent this beautiful property in Playa Langosta and felt like we were dreaming. The owner was helpful and responsive to our questions and needs. It was such a gift to our family to be able to stay in this lovely condo in paradise. Thank you, thank you, thank you! There were more beautiful beaches, opportunities for activities, moments of peace, delicious food, and the most wonderful environment for our family. We felt so spoiled staying here. The only real problem was that we did not want to leave! Janet, thank you for sharing your paradise with us.

Beautiful 3 bedroom Condo!!

Stop looking for anywhere else to stay in Tamarindo. This condo was beyond beautiful and even better than the photos. It is in an area outside of Tamarindo on Playa Langosta that is charming and away from the hustle of the great surf town. This condo slept our family of 5, and allowed us to be comfortable and cooking in the gourmet kitchen. The owners were beyond helpful and the staff on site were very kind.

Great family vacation!

We had visited Tamarindo in the past, staying at one of the hotels. This unit was perfect for us this time since we were travelling with my adult son, my adult daughter, and her boyfriend, 3 bedrooms was just what we needed. Love the fact that it wasn't in the middle of town, but everything was within walking distance (groceries, beaches, downtown stores). We enjoyed the communal pool as well as the private one on our floor. Was nice to connect to other expats renting from the same building. Highly recommend!

tamarindo stay 2024

the place is very nice. one of the ladies in our group of six has bilateral total hip implants and the elevator to the penthouse floor was no working while we were there. That made it very difficult for her. The water ran out 3 times during our stay. one of the times the water ran out was from 7pm to 1 pm the next day. Despite the setbacks we enjoyed our visit as much as possible and would recommend the place to others looking for a clean place to stay.

About the host

Hosted by Janet

Host profile image
We live in the San Francisco Bay Area and are outdoor enthusiasts.

Why they chose this property

We purchased this property in 2006 after taking several trips to Costa Rica and falling in love with this eco-friendly(and friendly) country. We LOVE Playa Langosta because it is close to EVERYTHING but quiet(but not dead)! We love this small complex for it Moorish architectural influence and it is elegant but understated

What makes this property unique

Playa Langosta offer several very good restaurants, bars, a grocery store and small quaint hotels that have cocktails and dining. All of these are in walking distance to the condo. There is a great beach steps from the condo that you can tide pool in low tide and the shoreline is just stunning...for those who surf, there is a great break to the south of the condo (about a 5-7 minute walk). This condo offers fantastic indoor/outdoor living at its best. every room has a terrance and there are sturdy cushioned lounge chairs on each. My guess is you will fall in love with this place too.
