About this property

Luxury Oceanfront Offering In Gated Community

This is a home built for luxury and fun at the beach! The 6 bedroom home features TWO oceanfront master suites, TWO additional large king suites and two guest suites both with double queen beds! All bedrooms have en-suite baths and no detail was overlooked! TV's in every room, high end beds/linens, luxury decor and more.

The living area features a huge gourmet kitchen, large areas for entertaining, 14 person dining table, amazing infinity edge pool, copious outdoor spaces and "on beach" access to both Tamarindo and Langosta beaches. Stroll down the beach to one of the local beachfront bars or perch on your own chair overlooking it all...

The home sits in a private/gated community with paved road access and security. Situated on a bluff overlooking the gorgeous Bahia Tamarindo (Tamarindo Bay), the views are magnificent and your access to the beach is a 1 minute stroll down our private path to the best part of Tamarindo beach. A two minute walk down the other private path puts you onto either directly onto Playa Langosta's white sands or the adjacent point/headland with stunning views!

On the ocean side of the home you'll find plenty of room to spread out and enjoy your corner of paradise...outdoor dining, hammocks and comfy chairs let you take it all in right outside your home. The home's slight elevation allows for commanding views of the beach and bay while also giving guests natural privacy from the few folks who do choose to walk down towards this part of the beach/bay.

Town is a short walk (10-12 minutes on the beach) or a three minute drive, providing easy access to all of the shopping, restaurants and nightlife that "Tama-Town" affords...while the closer/quieter Playa Langosta plays host to a number of excellent dining options as well!

The home was designed for large groups to feel at home with plenty of room to spread out and enjoy their time in paradise.

Casa Islita is in the Tamarindo Preserve gated community.

Amazing property!

This home was wonderful! Beautifully appointed, meticulously clean, wonderful location and an amazing view of the bay dotted with boats. The house staff made scrumptious breakfasts and made sure we had what ever we needed. A short walk down the beach was Langosta Beach Club which was an additional feature we really enjoyed-especially the groups of monkeys that seemed to pass through during lunch time. We hated to leave this little slice of paradise!!

Coolest Place in Tamarindo

This home has got to be the coolest place I have ever stayed at. The large open layout of the home with walkout directly to an amazing patio and pool is one of a kind. The meals were amazing and a great way to start the morning. Highly recommend the pancakes and french toast. It was phenomenal. Our concierge Mauricio was fast and efficient at scheduling and getting everything set up in a very timely fashion. (We requested mopeds for 7 the day after we arrived and they were delivered within an hour.) All in all, this place is a must for anyone who wants to really enjoy their stay in Tamarindo.

We had a great time in Costa Rica. Our concierge Andrea made sure all of our excursions, dinners and transportation were pre arranged making for a smooth schedule. The house staff was great Mary Louise and Heyner were very kind, cooked a great breakfast and made sure the house was in great conditions. We hope to enjoy this house again in the future.

Fabulous house for family vacation

Simply an incredible house, however the staff is what makes this a true luxury property. Coordination and daily support of our Concierge Manager, Andrea Hildago, was absolutely fantastic. She is amazing and her recommendations from cooking support to excursions were perfect. The house staff of Mary Lou and Heiner were exceptional. From a fabulous daily breakfast to maid service to house maintenance they were constantly appeasing my entire family. Andrea also arranged for a daily cooking team headed by Sandra…they have my highest recommendation for in house cooking option.

Great Property and AMAZING Staff!!!

We had two families together for spring break that totaled 13 people. The house had plenty of rooms/beds for everyone. Casa Islita is a beautiful home in a well located, gated community. We always felt safe, secluded from the craziness but also close to everything. Sandra (house manager) and Andrea (concierge) were SO helpful; we got so many recommendations and reservations through their network, our weekly itinerary was perfection. We had local chefs prepare dinner a few of the nights and it was outstanding. The staff at the house, Mary Lou and Heiner, were just wonderful. The house was always immaculate and they made the most amazing breakfast every morning. Sandra, Andrea, Mary Lou & Heiner...THANK YOU! Pura Vida!

Paradise in Playa Langosta

Loved everything about this house. Andrea our concierge was extremely helpful setting everything up for us. Loved waking up every morning to an amazing fresh breakfast. Mary Luz was beautiful and a wonderful cook and house keeper. Anthony and Heiner were the best ! We can’t say enough about how this staff made our trip. The outside pool are was perfect for watching the birds and the beautiful beach. You can walk to the beach and into some restaurants. LOVED this vacation!!

Wonderful Vacation

The location was wonderful and convenient to town, especially with golf carts. We felt very safe in this community. We had 3 families with teens and had plenty of room inside and out. Having beach access with teens was also really great so they could come and go easily. The staff were so helpful and very courteous. The only downside were the other new homes nearby being built so there was construction noise during the day, but the property managers handled that in advance with us so we knew what to expect. By far the best vacation home we have rented so far and would love to come back!

Vacation/Reunion in a perfect location

As many have mentioned, this home is ideal for multiple families or multi-generational family stays. We were 6 couples and this home was ideal for our group as well. Each couple having their own on-suite provided both privacy and comfort, and the “great room” and outdoor living areas provided the communal areas to enjoy with each other. Morning coffee in the Adirondack chairs out on the bluff overlooking the Tamarindo Bay was a favorite pass time. We scheduled several in-home services - three dinners (one on arrival which I would highly recommend), yoga, and jewelry making. All exceptional. Mary Luz and Heiner are wonderful care takers - breakfast every morning, cleaning up after us, and even doing our laundry. We had one wheelchair bound guest in our group and the home was well suited being one level and with a few small changes would be perfect. Our concierge was changed mid-stream from Andrea to Mauricio, and he did an excellent job. He provided excellent recommendations for activities, probably the best being the day the gentlemen went sport fishing and the ladies went to the Altos de Eros Spa - both we would highly recommend.

Highly Recommend!

Not only do I highly recommend this property, but my entire group would also. You will not be disappointed. There were 14 adults in my group and the house had plenty of space for everyone. The home was beautiful and immaculate in every way, very clean. The decor inside of the house was attractive and the outdoor space was just as nice where the patio area was large enough for my group to be comfortable. We enjoyed the pool daily and the water was a nice temperature. There was also a great view of the beach, which was just a short walk/drive away. Finally, the house was in very close proximity to local restaurants, stores and shopping experiences. We rented golf carts and drove them daily to various locations. Andrea Hidalgo was my concierge manager and she was incredible! She had many great recommendations for food, excursions and nightlife. She was very professional, yet warm and welcoming, and her detailed communication is very thorough and quick. I felt comfortable knowing that she was always just an email or phone call away. We hired breakfast and dinner cooks who were also wonderful with the service and the food.

Amazing Vacation!!!

I can't say enough great things about this property and staff! From the time we booked and planned out trip, our concierge Andrea was amazing. We had multiple dinners at the home with local cooks and amazing chef's, excursions, table rental, decorations for a b.day party, and transportation...everything was seamless and planned perfectly! She made everything run smoothly and ensured the best options. The house itself is beautiful and in a perfect location. Close to Tamarindo with a quick beach walk or golf cart ride, but far enough to feel private and secluded. Its perfect for groups with the bedrooms being separated, each with their own restroom. It was up to date and well maintained. The outdoor area was perfect for hanging by the pool, yoga classes, and watching sunsets. We even had a family (or two) of monkeys come visit on our last night in the trees right in the back yard! The house staff was also excellent! Mary Luz made amazing breakfast every morning. She and Heinar kept the house clean and helped with anything we needed to ensure we enjoyed our stay. Our whole group keeps wishing we were back there ever since we came home. I can't wait to have the opportunity to return soon!

Fabulous Family Holiday

My husband and I, our two daughters and their husbands and five grandsons just spent a glorious week in Costa Rica. This house was more than perfect for us. Let me tell you about a typical day for us. The early risers would head out for a beach walk or just to explore the tide pools among the lava rock. We would come back to a fabulous breakfast spread all prepared and laid out by Mary Luz and Heiner, the house staff. We have a lot of allergies and dietary issues to be considered and they were able to make everyone happy! After breakfast, we would get in our swim suits and head to the Langosta Beach Club to play in the waves, visit with the iguanas, swim in the pool, and relax in the shade. We usually had lunch there and it was great! When we got back to the house, it was all clean and tidy thanks to Mary Luz and Heiner. Afternoons were a time people could choose to snooze in the air conditioned bedrooms, on the hammock, or on the lounge chairs by the pool. Some would go shopping and others, would spend time in the pool. We usually headed to Langosta Beach - just a two minute walk away to watch the sunset before dinner. We only went out to dinner twice - more often doing take out as we had such a spectacular place and view at “home”. Andrea, our concierge arranged to have massage therapists come in one afternoon and also organized a trip out to the Monkey Rescue and Rehabilitation Centre. She also ensured we had worry free transportation from the airport and back.

Thanksgiving Family Reunion

First of all the pictures of the house don't do it justice! It is magnificent. The rooms are so spacious and beautifully appointed. We had twelve family members and the whole week we all had room to spread out.(ages 16 mos-69) Andrea, our concierge, was amazing. Everything she arranged for us was perfect. We had 4 different families traveling from different directions and times and our transportation was spot on. Even when we had to divert to Nicaragua and were four hours late our ride was waiting. Andrea before, during, and after our trip was wonderful and was always pleasant. I loved hearing her voice! I can't say enough about how amazing Mary Luz and Heiner were. The breakfasts were delicious and such a treat to wake up for each morning. They kept the house spotless and left nothing undone. They are an incredible team, friendly and warm and always with a smile. I wanted to take them home with us. The pool was a hit for the grandchildren. We also enjoyed the Langesta Beach Club. They have a great lunch and the gym worked out great for everyone. You have to make appointments for the gym. Needless to say, this trip and stay at Casa Islita was perfect. Our whole family will never forget what a wonderful reunion, vacation this team put together for us. Definitely on the bucket list for a second trip! Costa Rica is a beautiful country.

Family Vacation in a paradise called Costa Rica

Our stay at Casa Islita was one of the most memorable and enjoyable experiences we’ve had while traveling. Our family group consisted of 8 adults and our 3 young grandchildren. The location was beautiful and the house was one of the most well equipped homes we have ever stayed in. We have stayed in a numerous houses. There were also lots of games to play and books to read and toys for the kids in the pool. The security of the house is top notch, we felt very safe. The house had plenty of room for all of us to have privacy as well and a big area for all of us to gather and the kids had a great time in the pool. The real stars of the house are Andrea and Mauricio, the concierges, and Mary Luz and Heiner, the house staff. Andrea and Mauricio went above and beyond to help us plan outings, solve problems, change reservations, and even handle a small emergency when we left keys in the house. If not for Andrea we would not have seen turtles coming ashore to lay eggs, which has been on our bucket list for many years. The breakfasts prepared by Mary Luz and Heiner were some of the best meals we had while in Costa Rica. They also kept the house immaculate and fixed any problems, all while remaining almost invisible while they were there. Finally a shout out to Sandra the property manager who came to make sure we were not having any issues. Thanks to all of you for your hard work and hospitality!!

Great Two Week Stay in July!

We stayed at Casa Islita for two weeks. The house was beautiful, clean and comfortable. It is every bit as nice as the photos show. We traveled with 6 couples and the layout of the house was just right for our group. The left and right side of the house are mirror layouts in terms of the bedrooms. There was no bad bedroom. Mary Luz and Heiner (house staff) were fantastic. They had coffee for us in the morning and kept everything so clean. Breakfasts were delicious and varied each day of the week. The house had everything we needed for our large group including a huge refrigerator and two washer/dryers. We cooked a few night and the kitchen supplies were great. A bit about the "rainy season": We looked at the weather before the trip and every day called for rain. We didn't know what to expect, but as it turns out we would not hesitate to travel in late June/July again. Most days there was a shower at some point, but it didn't disrupt any of our planned excursions. We had one big thunderstorm on a Friday night which caused us to cancel dinner reservations, and that was it. We brought towels with us on outings in the golf carts to dry off the seats in case it rained at all. The rain was a relief from the heat. Just be sure to use bug spray at night! Lastly, our concierge Mauricio made sure everything went smoothly. We set up several excursions and reservations in advance (and we highly recommend getting golf carts) but had to make some changes throughout our stay. Mauricio always responded immediately to our requests and it made scheduling so much easier. As far as excursions we did catamaran tour, fishing both deep and shallow, signature adventure waterfall/tubing, estuary tour, ziplining, ATV and Jetski. There was definitely something for everyone. Lastly, we felt very safe during our stay as security was present and visible and the house has a gate and alarm.

Wonderful staff and beautiful property

This rental was everything we could have hoped for. This was our first visit to Costa Rica so we didn’t know what to expect. The house was perfect for our family of five older kids (age 17 -26). The most enjoyable part of the visit were Mary Luz and Heiner who prepared coffee early everyday, made fantastic breakfasts and kept the house cleaner than we could have imagined. Andrea was our concierge and arranged some great activities - some of them while we were on the vacation. Andrea always was available to answer any questions we had and was able to make the vacation our nicest ever.
