🌊 Beachfront • Tamarindo • Quiet Location • Walk to Town • Estuary & Nature Views
Stay beachfront in Tamarindo — just in one of its most peaceful and naturally beautiful oceanfront areas, where the ocean, estuary, and wildlife meet, yet restaurants, surf, shops, and nightlife are only minutes away.
La Chozita del Estero is a private beachfront apartment located on the same oceanfront property as La Choza del Estero. This unique setting offers a rare combination of true Tamarindo location + nature + space + walkability that very few properties can provide.
Wake up to Pacific Ocean views, watch birds and wildlife near the estuary, enjoy the beachfront pool, and end your day with sunsets from your private deck — all while staying in a calm part of Tamarindo away from the late-night party noise (but still close enough to enjoy it anytime you want).
This is ideal for guests who want the real Tamarindo experience — beach, nature, and convenience — without crowds or noise.

🛏️ The Apartment
• Located on a secure private oceanfront property • Night guard on property during peak season (Dec–March) for additional peace of mind • Sleeps up to 3 guests (1 Queen bed + 1 Twin sofa bed) • Bright, airy living space with natural light • Fully equipped kitchen • High-speed WiFi • 2 AC units + ceiling fans
Perfect for couples, solo travelers, small families, or guests visiting friends or family staying at La Choza del Estero.
La Chozita is also an excellent option for large families or groups renting the main La Choza house, allowing grandparents, older family members, or friends to stay close while still having their own private space. Many groups love the balance of togetherness and privacy — especially for multi-generational trips. The apartment layout is also convenient for older guests who benefit from easy accessibility while staying close to the main gathering spaces.

🌿 Outdoor Experience
• Beachfront pool shared only with registered guests on the property (never public) • Two private decks with ocean and sunset views • Outdoor shower for after beach days • Fire pit for relaxed evenings • Private laundry room

📍 Location — Tamarindo (Quiet Beachfront Area)
• Located directly in Tamarindo — not outside town • Positioned in one of Tamarindo’s quieter beachfront areas near the estuary • Walk the beach or take a short ride to Tamarindo’s restaurants, nightlife, shopping, and surf schools • Direct beachfront access • Next to protected estuary and national park scenery
This location is perfect for guests who want to enjoy Tamarindo — and still come home to peace, nature, and ocean sounds at night.
Properties with this combination of beachfront, estuary nature, and walk-to-town Tamarindo location are extremely rare.

🌴 The Perfect Home Base for Tamarindo Adventures
One of the things guests love most about La Chozita is how easy it is to explore Tamarindo and the surrounding areas — while still coming home to a peaceful, clean beachfront setting to relax and decompress.
From the property, you have direct access to unique local experiences:
• Water taxis located directly in front of the property to cross the estuary to Playa Grande • Estuary wildlife tours departing nearby • Beach horseback riding tours with pickup directly in front of the property • Easy access to surf at the river mouth break, Tamarindo main beach, or Playa Grande • Minutes to Tamarindo restaurants, tours, shopping, and nightlife when you want it
Our beachfront is also part of local surf history — this is where scenes from Endless Summer II were filmed, including the famous plane landing on the beach.
You truly get the best of both worlds: adventure and activity during the day, and a peaceful oceanfront place to return to at night.

Our stay was wonderful, The location is out of downtown but close enough to walk to restaurants. The property was quiet and beautiful and the managers were attentive and respectful of our privacy. Everything was clean, the beach was out the back door with a 150 yard walk to the waves!

Thank you so much for your kind words—we truly appreciate you taking the time to share your experience. It means a lot to hear that you enjoyed the peaceful setting while still being within walking distance to town.
We’re especially glad you felt well taken care of while also having your privacy respected—that balance is so important to us. And yes, that short walk to the waves never gets old 😊
We’d love to host you again anytime!
Come back soon.
Pura vida!
Amara was the most responsive, helpful host we have ever had - always so kind and responding within minutes no matter the time, helped us find the property as we arrived at night time, helped us navigate and coordinate literally everything we did during our stay, arranged transportation, arranged a sunset beach horseback ride, and arranged housekeeping (as we stayed for 7 days). The location is incredible. Right on the beach at the edge of town, in a quiet/private area but still very quick and easy walk right into town (can get anywhere by walking on the beach or the street path)! The property is also beautiful - all areas, including the shared pool/deck, are well maintained and very clean. We felt very safe here and knew that if we needed anything Amara was there to help! We were so sad to leave and would LOVE to come back some day! If you’re thinking about it, book it!!

What a perfect location! It is truly a nature meets sea experience. The apartment was beautiful and tastefully decorated and the property surrounding it was stunning. So much attention to detail made our stay wonderful. All communication from anyone from La Choza was easy and clear from start to end with quick response times. A very big thank you to Amara (& Toni) the property manager, Miguel who owns the property & Eduardo - our private driver to and from the airport. All lovely amazing people who truly cared about making our experience an amazing one. Can't imagine staying anywhere else when vacationing in Costa Rica! Highly recommend!

The unit was extremely well taken care of and the location of this property is perfect. It is right around the corner from the main beach, so it’s a quick walk to get to everything Tamarindo has to offer, but also very private if that’s what you want. It was nice to have privacy when you wanted it. The manager was in contact with me within 10 minutes of finalizing our booking and was very helpful and timely answering questions and helping with travel and excursion recommendations for the duration of our stay. There are two houses on the property and only ours was booked during our stay, so the privacy would obviously go down a little if the other house was also booked. The pool was great! The hammocks were fantastic! The only thing that would be better would be if there were beach chairs or umbrellas that you could take to the main beach, but you can also just rent them so it wasn’t a big deal to not have them. Overall a 10 out of 10!

Thank you so much for your thoughtful review—we really appreciate you sharing your experience!
We’re so happy you enjoyed the location, pool, hammocks, and the overall feel of the property, and that our team was able to support you throughout your stay.
The property includes two separate homes, each with its own private amenities and space, with only the pool being shared.
While we don’t provide beach chairs or umbrellas, they are available for rent directly on the beach, making it easy for guests to set up for the day.
It was a pleasure hosting you, and we’re so glad you had a 10/10 stay. We’d love to welcome you back anytime!

About the host
Hosted by Amara
We’re a family-owned business, proud to call Tamarindo home. With two kids born and raised here, our roots in this town run deep—we were among the original pioneers who fell in love with this beautiful place. When we found this spot, we knew it was where we wanted to create our home and share it with others.
This apartment is part of that dream: a peaceful oasis surrounded by nature and the ocean. We hope you’ll enjoy it as much as we do and feel the same sense of magic that made us fall in love with Tamarindo.
Why they chose this property
We chose this neighborhood because it’s truly Tamarindo — just the quieter, more natural beachfront edge of town. From here you can easily enjoy everything Tamarindo is known for — restaurants, bars, shops, tours, and surf — while still coming home to a peaceful oceanfront setting surrounded by gardens, wildlife, sunsets, and estuary views.
It’s also uniquely positioned for experiences. Water taxis operate right in front of the property to cross the estuary to Playa Grande, estuary wildlife tours are nearby, and even beach horseback riding tours offer pickup right in front of the house. It makes exploring incredibly easy while still feeling private and relaxed.
What makes this property unique
What makes this property unique is its rare combination of true beachfront access and location directly in Tamarindo — something very few properties can offer. From here, you can walk straight onto the beach, enjoy incredible sunsets, and experience a quieter, more natural oceanfront setting while still being minutes from everything Tamarindo is known for.
The property also offers unique experience access — including water taxis directly in front to cross the estuary to Playa Grande, nearby estuary wildlife tours, and even beach horseback riding tours with pickup right outside.
Surrounded by serene gardens, ocean views, and wildlife, you can also see Las Baulas National Marine Park in the distance — a protected area known for its incredible flora, fauna, and sea turtle nesting beaches.
