Romi did a wonderful job of accommodating our every need and helping us book excursions and activities. Only suggestion, as I would certainly rent a golf cart to get back-and-forth from town to make sure you can see everything.

Home away from home

We had an amazing vacation and a big part of it was because of this house. Very comfortable and short walk to the beach. Yes there is a bit of a hill, but the steep part is short and well worth it. Anything we needed there was always someone to help! I can’t say enough of how great Karen and Ana were. Truly a top notch operation!

We loved our stay. Our extended family of 8 all met here and had a wonderful week. We couldn’t complain about a thing. The house and the yard are immaculate and the view breath taking. Everything you could want. The concierge went above and beyond - ensuring our plans were in order and even helping with medical care when my young son was injured. We will be back!

Beautiful property!

We had a wonderful stay at Casa Alegria! The property is beautiful and clean. The view is amazing! You're close enough to town you can walk, but we rented a golf cart and would highly recommend doing so. We would 100% stay here again. My only complaint is that if you want to have any guest over you need to provide their names and passport # ahead of time or you'd be fined. They are also not allowed to use the amenities.

Hola Lindsie! Thank you so much for your review! We are so glad you had a wonderful time. We try to go above and beyond to ensure the enjoyment and of course safety of our guests which is why we try to be strict with visitors. Knowing beforehand who will be at the villa also helps the security guard know who is welcome or not. We'd love to have you back if you'e ever in town. Pura Vida! Five Star Reservations Team

Property was great and location was easily accessible to all restaurants and shops (by car) unfortunately they have a neighbor who screams at you for playing music outside while in the pool area during the day and in the afternoon.

Thank you for your feedback! We’re glad you enjoyed the property and its great location. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience caused by the neighbor. As the house is in a residential area, we kindly ask guests to keep music at a moderate level to respect the neighborhood. We strive to balance creating a relaxing experience for our guests with being considerate of our neighbors, and we appreciate your understanding. We hope this didn’t detract too much from your overall experience, and look forward to hosting you again!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We spent the holiday weekend at the most amazing house in Tamarindo. We had several generations including a 1 and 3 year old. It was a great house for the young kids, especially with the shallow end of the pool. Easy to walk into town and the beach for the twenty Somethings! Our concierge made the trip east by contacting us ahead of time and coordinating all our outings and dinner reservations. Look forward to coming back and staying longer!

Amazing property & gorgeous views!

We had a family group of 13 of us celebrating my parent's 50th wedding anniversary. Booked this property as we wanted to be close to town to walk or ride golf carts to the beach several times a day as well as have a gorgous infinity pool overlooking the beach in the distance and also plenty of room for us all. I can't say enough about how beautiful the rooms were and the grounds. Truly breathtaking! We even worked out having breakfast included each day and was so wonderful having Edgar and Betsy serve us a delicious buffet breakfast each morning so we could just enjoy our coffee and time together with no prep or cleanup! Our concierge, Romi, was also super quick to respond when we wanted to book last-minute tours or needed dinner recommendations. Highly recommend this place for your group of friends or big family!

Action Packed Getaway

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This house although older, is perfect for a large group or a family getaway. Sunsets are amazing on the deck or sitting in the pool. The house has everything needed to live comfortably no matter how long your stay. Although it was just my wife and I this trip, we would bring our 3 adult children for the holidays and still have rooms to spare. It is centrally located to everything. Minutes from Tamarindo center & Flamingo is a short car ride. Romi was absolutely great to work with and did an amazing job helping us coordinate local activities. She's truly an asset to 5 Star.

Amazing house & Impeccable service!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Spent 5 nights at Casa Alegria and could not be any happier. 1. Service was great = concierge responded quickly for anything and everything. Coordinated transportation even with changes, coordinated golf cart delivery even as a last minute request. 2. Location was amazing! 1 minute golf cart ride to great food, and 3-5 minutes from anywhere on the strip of tamarindo. Possibly the worst part of the experience was the dirt roads that were pretty steep, but the golf cart handled it just fine and we didn't mind it! 3. The rooms, amenities, cleanliness, attention to detail, etc was great. Everything to cook, do laundry, clean beach stuff off - they thought of it all. Did NOT expect cleaners to be there every day! Overall, would stay here again in a heartbeat.

Thank you for the wonderful feedback! We’re so glad you loved your time at Casa Alegria — from the great location and thoughtful amenities to the responsive concierge support.

Relaxed in Tamarindo

The house was beautiful and a great location close to restaurants, shops and the beach. We had a car, but always walked into town. Beautiful views of the Pacific during the day and sunsets in the evening. Most of our time was split between the pool and the deck with both sun and shade options. Communication with the property manager was prompt before and during our stay. Initially we were unsure about having a housekeeper at the house all day, but having Karen there turned out to be a such a treat. Karen prepared breakfast each morning with fresh fruit, fresh squeezed juice and smoothies, Pina Coladas by the pool mid morning followed by lunch. We so enjoyed Karen and she made the vacation so relaxing for us. We loved the relaxed vibe of Tamarindo and tried a different restaurant every night. Typically after a week vacation I’m ready to go home. We spent 10 days at Casa Alegria and I didn’t want to leave. We will definitely return.

Paradise!

I can’t say enough good things about this property and the management. The house itself is stunning! Staff members came daily to help keep it clean and they were so friendly and responsive. I also love the location of the home because it’s so close to town and was very walkable. Our group of 8 adults had more than enough space in the home and we thoroughly enjoyed the pool and backyard lounge. I would highly recommend Casa Alegria!
