About this property
Entire villa in gated community, 2 Bd, 2 & 1/2 bath, pool, sandy beach.
I hope this is your base for all kinds of fun activities or R&R. This is our home away from home and I hope you view it as such. It's not a show home. Meant to be lived in. Lay on the couch after a fun day surfing or exploring.
This is a stand alone house, not a condo. No long hallways, no elevators. A fully equipped kitchen, laundry room, 2 bedroom, 2-1/2 bath. In Costa Rica. We call it a Villa and that includes your own private parking stall just a few steps away. If you don't feel like driving, no problem as everything is within walking distance and really is a better way to enjoy Tamarindo and the friendly locals. The incredible beach is just 850 meters away. Over half mile of adventure in the heart of town.
Important Update - we have installed a back-up water cistern. VERY important especially during high season. You still need to be conscious of water use.
Here are our house features...
Main Floor
•Fully equipped kitchen including coffee maker, blender, granite countertops, raised eating bar and a separate eating area with a table and four chairs
•Comfortably appointed living room, with a large sectional, entertainment system, flat screen TV with built in DVD and free wifi phone to make free calls to the USA
•Washer Dryer and sink in Laundry room
•Two piece bathroom on main
•Coat closet
•Expanded lanai by the entrance. Perfect for reading or watching the kids in the pool.
Upper Floor
•Master bedroom, with a queen bed, an en-suite with a tub / shower, independent AC, ceiling fan, and a balcony that overlooks the pool
•Second bedroom, with a queen bed and a double bed plus a twin bunk bed above the double bed sleeping up to 5, a full en-suite, independant AC, ceiling fan
The air conditioning system has independent controls for each floor as well as for each bedroom.
Furnishings, appliances, and other details are included.
We love having the pool right outside your door.

About the host
Hosted by Kathy Zimmer
We would love to have you visit our villa in Tamarindo. We are the Zimmers and make our home in Colorado. Married 27 years with 3 kids. Our first visit to Costa Rica made an impact, took root and we couldn't shake the #puravida lifestyle. If it's your first visit to CR or your 10th, we hope you love it as much as we do.

Why they chose this property
We traveled to Costa Rica for the first time in 2016 staying at our friend's house in Playa Junquillal. Gorgeous, fabulous house. But we noticed we kept getting drawn to Tamarindo. I think we came here 3 times during our week. A couple of years later when we visited we knew we would be going directly to and staying in Tamarindo. We stayed at Pueblo Colonial and fell in love with it. The community is just perfect. 8 villas in 1 community. We even like the short walk to the beach. 10 minutes. Not being directly on the beach keeps the noise level down, and as a fitness professional I like the extra bit of exercise.
Our villa is directly across from the pool. Makes it very convenient for a little dip and keeping an eye out on the little ones.

What makes this property unique
I have fallen in love with Costa Rica and Tamarindo in particular. The water is safe to drink. We enjoy the local culture. We readily eat at the local "sodas" (roadside restaurant) with no hesitation. Street food is one of our favorites. Tamarindo feels like family.
Here's a story to explain. Our first visit in 2016, we booked an excursion through a local surf shop. The Rincon de la Vieja tour. Sergio was our guide. 2.5 years later we are sitting at a beach side restaurant the day we flew in. My husband and youngest walk out to the water, and a man approaches. Aaron is already prepared with the "no gracias" reply when the man says, "Mr. Zimmer I did not know you were in town when did you arrive?" What? Our guide Sergio. We've now gone on several #adventureswithsergio and he feels like family. One of many stories where we see familiar faces and the connection is there.
I would love to host you and your family in our villa. CR/Tamarindo has become our second family, and we consider them "familia". We can connect you with people we see and visit each time we are in town. Let us know how we can introduce you to more of our family <3
