Rare True Beachfront Tamarindo Home - Private Yard, Pool - Sleeps Groups
🌴 Rare True Beachfront Estate in Tamarindo | Private Yard, Pool, Estuary & National Park Views
One of the only true beachfront homes in Tamarindo with a large private yard, pool, and protected estuary and national park views — all within walking distance to town.
Wake up to the sound of the ocean, walk barefoot across your own beachfront yard, and end the day watching the sunset from the fire pit just steps from the sand.
Unlike condos or homes set behind roads, this is a direct beachfront property on one of the few remaining original oceanfront parcels in Tamarindo.
⭐ Ideal for families
⭐ Perfect for multi-generational travel
⭐ Designed for groups who want space, privacy, and outdoor living
⭐ Each bedroom includes its own private bathroom for comfort and privacy — a rare feature in Tamarindo rentals
Guests often book for the rare location — and return for the feeling of space, nature, and connection that’s becoming harder to find in Tamarindo.
⸻
⭐ What Makes This Home Special
• True beachfront — no roads to cross on the way to the sand
• One of only a handful of beachfront homes in Tamarindo with a pool and large private yard
• Set between Las Baulas National Park and the Tamarindo Estuary for protected views and privacy
• Ocean, estuary, and sunset views
• Pool, fire pit, outdoor rancho with BBQ, and sunbathing deck
• Dedicated wellness area in the yard for yoga or meditation
• Oceanfront pool shared only with registered guests on the property (never public)
• Walkable to town, restaurants, grocery store, and shops
• Peaceful, private setting rarely found this close to town
• Night guard during peak season (December–March) for added peace of mind
Designed for comfort, connection, and gathering, this home is ideal for families, groups, and guests who value experience over trends. Many guests enjoy frequent sightings of monkeys, iguanas, and tropical birds throughout the gardens and surrounding nature.
⸻
⭐ Ideal for Multi-Generational & Shared Travel
One of the most valued features of La Choza del Estero is the option to include a separate, independent beachfront apartment (La Chozita).
This setup is perfect for grandparents, older guests who prefer fewer stairs, or friends traveling together who want their own private space — while still being just steps away from the main house and shared outdoor areas.
Families love being together during the day, then enjoying privacy and quiet in the evenings, all within the same beachfront property.
The apartment can be rented on its own or combined with the main house for larger group stays.
⸻
🌊 A Special Piece of Tamarindo’s Surf History
Long before Tamarindo became an international destination, it was a quiet surf town — and surfing is what put it on the map.
This home sits on the original stretch of beachfront made famous by The Endless Summer II, where the film’s iconic airplane landing introduced Tamarindo to the global surf community. Today, guests still paddle out just steps from the house, sharing the same waves that helped shape this coastline’s legacy.
Even if you don’t surf, there’s something special about staying in a place where ocean, nature, and history intersect — where mornings begin with waves breaking offshore and sunsets feel timeless.
⸻

⸻
🤍 Why Guests Return
Many guests return to La Choza del Estero year after year for the same reasons:
