Fantastic stay in Casa Guayacan for our group of 14 over Christmas. The house was spacious and perfect for a large family. The concierge was incredibly responsive and arranged everything—private surf lessons right in front of the house at sunset (a highlight), excursions, transportation, groceries, and three delicious cooked dinners. We loved enjoying the sunset from the beach every night. Stress-free, special, and highly recommended.

Our host was very helpful and answered all our questions promptly. We loved the location. Quiet peaceful beach but close enough to enjoy Tamarindo and all it has to offer. The option to have a cook come in for meals was wonderful. Our concierge for the trip was also extremely helpful and was willing to go out of her way to accommodate any concerns we had. Our only complaints we had is the host raised the price after we booked which we felt was incredibly unfair as well as reduced the size of the areas we had access to due to construction so in the end we had to pay quite a bit more for less space. Unfortunately we were staying over Christmas break and all other properties that could accommodate a group of our size were booked by the time they informed us of the changes. Be that as it may we did find the space we had to be adequate.

Family getaway

Perfect size and setup for a family group of 7 adults and 5 kiddos. Great location - steps away from the beach and a quick walk to take the panga boats across the estuary into Tamarindo. Beautiful private pool. Hosts are super responsive for any issues. Make sure to bring cash if you are working with the hosts for groceries / meal prep (which is highly recommended - food was amazing!).

Women's Retreat

I hosted a women's movement and healing retreat and this place was perfect!! It was super private and serene. Our house chef, Alcira and her mom cooked every meal for us and the food was incredible. Manfred, the home owner, was responsive to our every need before and during our stay. Highly recommend this beautiful and unique property and location.

Major plusses: 1.Perfect location, a few steps from a beautiful, uncrowded, wide and long sand beach with rolling surf but separated from the more frenetic Tamarindo tourist scene by a 2 fifty-yard boat taxi across a tidal estuary. Gorgeous views 2. Large sparkling-clean swimming pool surrounded by subtropical gardens. 3. Spacious beach house that easily accommodated our 8 person family, with extra bedrooms and bathrooms, and second floor sitting area open to the Pacific view and breezes. 4. Unfailingly prompt, efficient and helpful concierge Cher—a great resource for booking excursions, obtaining info on the surrounding area, and helping with the minor maintenance issues that cropped up. 5.Security service was present but completely unobtrusive—area was safe. 6. Beds were comfortable and a/c functioned week in bedrooms with no issues (common areas are not air conditioned). 7. Staff was always pleasant.Kitchen could benefit from some updating, but was spacious. Updated photos would show some changes on the property from the ones shown now.

Amazing location. Kids and adults

Our second time back to the property. We love this beach- its perfect for adults with a beginner surf break and kids to run around and boogie board. The sunsets were incredible. We hired cook for meal- Vero and Rosa- we loved them and everything they prepared for us. This is a special place!!!

Wonderful private beach getaway

We loved our time at casa guayacan. The concierge was wonderful and helped us coordinate everything we needed with the personal chef (who we also loved) - and all staff was friendly and responsive. The place itself felt so private and the pool and space around it incredibly relaxing and safe, which was important with two kids under 3. Would definitely return!

Amazing location on fantastic beach

We brought 28 people to stay for fun and play and boy did this property not disappoint! We rented out both parts of the property- double the fun. The property was well kept, communication on WhatsApp with house manager and staff was seamless. The beach is private with little traffic, the softest sand and great waves to catch. The pools were fantastic and the houses and bungalows were perfect for our guests. Would stay at this location again.

Absolutely gorgeous location! Beach feels almost private with great waves for surfing and boarding. House is great for big groups, staff is very supportive and responds quickly to all needs! Estuary is short walk and boat rides to Tamarindo are super easy! Living space is open air so it is warm but the bedrooms stay very cool and comfortable! Pool is awesome and grounds are well kept.

Private paradise

This property is amazing. You are just steps from the beach, which has a great break full of kind local surfers. You are only a 10 min walk on the beach to the water taxi into tamarindo for 2 per person. So you are close to society, but the beach is insanely less crowded than Tamarindo, when I would have coffee at 5:30 AM I’d often be the only person on playa Grande. Manfred was amazing, he was super helpful by instantly solving any tiny issues we had. They provided local contacts and made the whole process seem less and easy. My kids loved the big pool and all of the crabs and wildlife. We saw howler monkeys multiple times! Thanks for the great stay! We will be back!
