Fabulous place

Casa Ylang Ylang was the perfect place for our family of four plus one. We loved the design and layout, pool, and amenities. With it's perch on the hilltop it feels a bit like the coolest treehouse you've ever stayed in

This trip was great! The house is close enough to town that it is easy to hop into town, but far enough away to be quiet and relaxing! The property management was great and their communication was excellent! This house was exactly what we needed!

A Beautiful, elegant, perfect stay

This property is incredible. We (3 teens 13,15,18 included) were all so comfortable and happy with the location, the pool, and artistic design of the house. Absolutely gorgeous. This is the best place to relax and get away yet we were a short drive into the life at Tamarindo.

This was a nice hillside property and it was not far from town (just about a 7 minute drive). The property manager folks communicated with us as needed. All instructions to get to the property were accurate. A 4WD is recommended but in this case we were able to make it to the property fine in a 2WD van. The hills were a little steep but not too much for this van. The pool area was amazing. The amenities were well stocked and the beds were comfortable. We did see monkeys right out the kitchen window a couple times and you can hear the howlers frequently nearby. A welcome package was left for us as well. I would definitely stay here again if staying in the Tamarindo area! It is also a nice easy drive to the Liberia airport from there (1.5 hours, no traffic or road construction like when going to San Jose, which is a mess).

Family vacation!

Our family of 4 just stayed here, June 13-21st. It was absolutely amazing! The house is just as pictured, extremely clean, yard well taken care of and an amazing pool! They supplied plenty of towels for the pool and all the bathrooms. They even supplied enough toilet and paper towels for us! There is nothing bad about this house or location and 100% recommended for any family.

Thank you for the 5-star review! Casa Ylang Ylang is hidden in the Tamarindo Hills, surrounded by nature and a 10-minute drive to Tamarindo downtown and to the beach. The house is perfect if you are looking to experience the "pura vida " with a view of the ocean, the sound of the birds and monkeys, and the visit of the iguanas with others. You will enjoy your own pool and the comfortable spaces around the house. It is also nicely equipped for families and groups of up to 8 guests. Thanks for choosing to stay at casa Ylang Ylang. We look forward to hosting you again.

Overall our stay was wonderful! The house is great! Air conditioning in every room was refreshing to come home to! The location is out of the tourist area and pretty quiet but still convenient to quickly get to the beach and town. There were howler monkeys and lots of birds outside in the trees by the patio every morning, which were fun to hear and watch! The pool was clean and the perfect size and temperature. There was a grounds keeper that serviced/cleaned the pool every few days. The house had everything we needed except beach equipment. Wish there would have been some boogie boards, beach chairs and a cooler. We loved that there was an alarm system at the house, but unfortunately it kept erroring halfway thru our trip and was not active for the remainder. We contacted the rental company but they were not able to fix it during our stay. The front door deadbolt also had a stripped screw and works itself loose and had to continuously get pushed back in. The oven was tricky to figure out, indicator light didn’t work and knob seemed out of position so could get it to heat up right. I would recommend staying here despite the few issues we had as they can be easily remedied! Pura vida!

Beautiful and close to town

We enjoyed our stay here so much. The pool was wonderful and it was nice to get away from Tamarindo heat spring the daytime. The host even had a sweet surprise of fresh rolls, jam and wine waiting for us upon arrival. The property management group was fantastic and quick to respond to questions. The road will require a 4x4 but wasn’t nearly as treacherous as some of the other CR roads we have encountered on our trip. Highly recommend this place if you want to be close to town but get away and enjoy your own privacy. Howler monkeys woke us up every morning!

Relaxing and Quiet

The stay was pretty relaxing and quiet. There is a lot of large glass windows but the area is fairly private. Be sure to confirm the cleaning and landscaping schedule with the office for your visit. There were two scorpions that made their way inside the home. The kitchen and pool are lovely. The view is pretty peaceful and really gives the tropical paradise feel. Enjoyable villa for couples or small groups and families.

Beautiful House

Perfect place. Except for the fact that RPM (the actual rental organisation) did not inform us about the building activities right next door. And did not reply on my emails regarding this. Not only the noise was sometimes annoying, but also the fact that the workers could look right on the terrace/pool area when they were working on the roof.

Gorgeous Property

We had a wonderful stay. We were greeted with a bottle of wine and sweet bread + jam. The property is gorgeous and has an ocean view and a lovely patio for watching the sunset. We loved listening to the howler monkeys in the canopy. The property was as described and just right for our family. AC in the bedrooms worked great and kept us comfortable. No AC in the common areas. Plenty windows and fans, but it did get warm. The kitchen was excellent, and the house was furnished comfortably and with little extras like books and games to play. Lots of beautiful outdoor space so everyone could have their own little area for downtime. Communication with the property manager was excellent. He was on top of things and always responded promptly. Prior reviews about the bumpy road or no joke. It was rough and tumble with our four-wheel-drive. Not a bad drive, but definitely dusty and BUMPY. A short 8 to 10 minute drive gets you into town and a market is one of the closest things as you come and go from town, which is very convenient. Be aware that Tamarindo is experiencing a water crisis right now. We were told at check-in that water pressure might be low. The shower in the primary bathroom worked fine, but the secondary bathroom was a trickle. Definitely out of the property manager’s hands, but maybe something to be aware of. Overall would for sure recommend, especially if you’re looking for a quiet out-of-the-way place away from the fray of downtown.

Thank you for the 5-star review, Julie. Casa Ylang Ylang is one of the very few houses near Tamarindo being close to town but far enough to enjoy the jungle and the beautiful fauna we have here. The house is spacy, cozy, fully equipped for 8 and it has a beautiful yard with a private pool. You will enjoy it al here the house, more especially the view of the ocean from the two rooms looking toward Tamarindo. Perfect for families and friends!

Super vacances familiales

Super belle maison. Beaucoup d’espace pour toute notre famille de 5. La maison n’est pas en ville mais pas si loin. La route pour s’y rendre est un peu bumpy mais on se sent tout de même bien en sécurité. Nous avons vu des singes notre premier matin. C’était très impressionnant. La piscine est parfaite avec son côté creux et son côté patogeoir. Tamarindo est une très belle destination.
