About this property

Crystal Sands, Luxury Living on the white Sands of Playa Langosta

Located on the white sands of Playa Langosta, just a short 10 minute walk to the center of Tamarindo, Crystal Sands was designed to match the beauty of its natural surroundings. Lush tropical gardens and landscaping embrace the expansive common area, which includes a large pool, spa, and outdoor covered dining area. Extra conveniences, such as outdoor beach showers, and underground parking add to the amenities inside the secure perimeter.

The condo is large – 3100 square feet. Inside the unit you’ll find an expansive and luxurious living and dining area. Cable TV and free Wifi keep you connected to the outside world as you spread out and relax on the deck over looking the Pacific Ocean. A large gas BBQ on the deck is perfect for grilling your favorite seafood and the elegant custom kitchen will give you the opportunity to create your special tropical delights. And better yet you can dine on the balcony, while enjoying the truly magnificent sunsets

Three large bedrooms each with a private bath and spacious closets give each visitor the chance for privacy and quiet time if they choose. The master bedroom is huge, with sliding glass doors that open to the deck.

High-coffered ceilings, Travertine stone floors, and natural stone tile showers add to the opulence of this already stunning condo. Modern amenities include granite countertops, European style wood cabinetry, and stainless steel appliances.

If you’re looking for a truly elegant way to enjoy Tamarindo, we invite you to join us at Crystal Sands, where tropical elegance meets the beach.

Absolutely beautiful Condo! We arrived to a clean, beautifully decorated condo with a welcome gift of fresh local bread and coffee. The mornings and evenings spent on the balcony were wonderful. Lovely beach outside, and a short walk to either Tamarindo beach or Playa Longasta. We rented a golf cart and found it very easy to get groceries etc. We will definitely be back. Will miss those sunsets!

Amazing place! We have been to Annettes place several times and it’s amazing every time.The owner is a pleasure to deal with and the managing company is great. You can tell they care about their property and have bought new appliances in the kitchen, fans on the terrace, new washer dryer etc. It is very well maintained. The Location on Langosta beach can’t be beat. We hope to be back soon.

Loved this property! Annette was an excellent host. She communicated clearly throughout the entire process. The unit is very spacious and comfortable. The AC works great. The views are amazing. Everything you need is in the apartment- plenty of towels, extra bedding, beach chairs, kitchen stuff, etc. The gated security is great and we felt very safe. Once we backed up a toilet, and the property manager sent someone immediately to fix it. Also, this unit is very quiet. We did not hear any street noise or noise from neighbors. The pool is really nice - the pics don't do it justice.This unit has a great parking spot, in a corner with an outlet. We were able to park two 4 person golf carts back to back in the space without a problem. We really enjoyed the golf carts we rented from Earth Gear. We enjoyed dinners at Fish and Cheese (very short walk), Pangas (one of our favorites), Patagonia (steak), the food court behind Patagonia (Mercadito). Our favorite meal was the BBQ on the Beach at Hotel Captain Suisse (book/prepay in advance, only Friday nights). Breakfast at Sophia was delicious and a short walk from the condo.We especially enjoyed surf lessons from SALT (Surf as Life Therapy). Amazing experience!Groceries and sunscreen are really really expensive, so try to pick up on the way from the airport in Villa Real.

Annette is a wonderful and very helpful hostess! The condo and entire facility are amazing! The condo is extremely roomy. The kitchen is well stocked with all that is needed to prepare meals, excluding food. The bedrooms and baths are modern, large and very comfortable. The pool is great, the ocean very accessible. TV’s connect to anything you might want to watch. Staff is quite friendly and accommodating. Highly recommend this location for anyone looking to schedule a trip to CR! Pura Vida!

Great first visit to Costa Rica

We loved the spaciousness of this condo but most of all, loved the private outdoor space. The condo is on the third floor of a five story condo complex but we could not hear or see others staying around us. The sunsets were spectacular and different every evening. You hear the waves of the ocean which is wonderful. Pool was very clean and enjoyed it as well. Great proximity to the restaurants. I do recommend renting a car or golf cart.

Truly Excellent Stay

This condo really is even better than described; we would have given it 6 stars if that was an option. The view is incredible, the rooms are all very large, and the property is beautiful (we even saw howler monkeys in the trees in the stunning garden below). It is one of the best outfitted VRBOs we've been in with dozens of utensils for cooking, beach towels and equipment, good security and parking, proactive and responsive management, and perfect location. All around amazing place that we'd rent again!

About the host

Hosted by Annette Gillis

Host profile image
We live in Alberta, Canada and the North American winter months can be pretty cold and long. The weather in Costa Rica during those months is dependable; sunny and temperatures ranging from +24C - +34C. We treasure the time we can get away to kick back and relax - no better way than to head to Costa Rica.

Why they chose this property

We traveled to Costa Rica in 2010 and fell in love with the country and the people. The natural beauty of the country can take your breath away. We love the quiet beauty of Tamarindo, the easy beach walks into town and sitting on the balcony overlooking the Pacific. It is the ultimate in relaxation. Sitting on the deck in the evening watching the sun set over the Pacific with a glass of wine in hand is to be savored.

What makes this property unique

The condo is on the beach and if you like to walk there are miles of unspoiled beaches to meander along, watch the surfers, try it your self or gather sea shells. Great restaurants at reasonable prices are close by.
