About this property

This is a stand alone house, not a condo. No long hallways, no elevators. A fully equipped kitchen with dishwasher, laundry room, 2 bedroom, 2-1/2 bath. In Costa Rica. We call it a Villa and that includes your own private parking stall just a few steps away. If you don't feel like driving, no problem as everything is within walking distance and really is a better way to enjoy Tamarindo and the friendly locals. The incredible beach is just 850 meters away. Over half mile of adventure in the heart of town.

Important Update - we have installed a back-up water cistern. VERY important especially during high season.

Beautiful Villa

We loved everything about this Villa. The grounds were absolutely beautiful and the pool just outside our door was definitely a bonus! The Villa was lovely and very well equipped with everything we needed to make our stay enjoyable, from plenty of towels, well equipped kitchen and we loved the robes! Kathy was very quick to get back for any questions we had before our trip. Once we were at Villa, Sonia and Jorge, property managers, were so very friendly and helpful, from arranging airport transportation to recommendations of restaurants and answering any questions we had. The location of this Villa is a definite bonus as we did not need a vehicle. Tamarindo town and beach were about 10 minutes with grocery store half way! Everything about this Villa and its location was a definite 5 Star. We loved Costa Rica! Pura Vida!

Tamarindo Christmas

Great property, loved location, property managers were always available and helpful. We rented a golf cart for ease of getting to beach and restaurants but very walkable which we also did several times. My only suggestion would be to upgrade the mattresses and pillows.

We were a party with three teenagers and two adults and fit comfortably at this property! Having coffee and breakfast at our unit, out on the patio, was lovely. The grounds and pool were maintained daily but quietly and without the buzz of early morning equipment. I don't think you will sleep in, as the birds and other animals like to sing! Before arriving, I stressed about not being "on the beach," but I found this location perfect: within walking distance of the beach and restaurants. We didn't find a restaurant we didn't love. The grocery stores have everything you need, and several choices exist. The unit is well stocked with kitchen necessities, beach items, towels, and even extras like robes! Having laundry was useful. Sonia is delightful and informative! I highly recommend this rental! We typically like to explore new locations, but a week wasn't enough in Costa Rica, and we will stay here again!

Fabulous villa for a family of 5!

We loved our vacation and where we stayed. Having the pool steps away made it so simple and relaxing. The showers, air conditioning, and laundry facilities kept us clean and comfortable. I loved being able to buy groceries and cook for my family, especially with my daughter’s keto diet. Jorge, the property manager, was friendly, prompt, intuitive, knowledgeable, and kind. He helped us arrange a couple of amazing excursions to horse ride and view nesting sea turtles. He suggested Guaitil as a cultural activity; my kids met Andy and learned about indigenous pottery making. The property is private and just enough east of downtown to be quiet without being too far to walk if you don’t have a car. We can’t say enough good things about our stay. We hope to come again soon!

About the host

Hosted by Kathy Zimmer

We would love to have you visit our villa in Tamarindo. We are the Zimmers and make our home in Colorado. Married 27 years with 3 kids. Our first visit to Costa Rica made an impact, took root and we couldn't shake the #puravida lifestyle. If it's your first visit to CR or your 10th, we hope you love it as much as we do.

Why they chose this property

We traveled to Costa Rica for the first time in 2016 staying at our friend's house in Playa Junquillal. Gorgeous, fabulous house. But we noticed we kept getting drawn to Tamarindo. I think we came here 3 times during our week. A couple of years later when we visited we knew we would be going directly to and staying in Tamarindo. We stayed at Pueblo Colonial and fell in love with it. The community is just perfect. 8 villas in 1 community. We even like the short walk to the beach. 10 minutes. Not being directly on the beach keeps the noise level down, and as a fitness professional I like the extra bit of exercise.

Our villa is directly across from the pool. Makes it very convenient for a little dip and keeping an eye out on the little ones.

What makes this property unique

I have fallen in love with Costa Rica and Tamarindo in particular. The water is safe to drink. We enjoy the local culture. We readily eat at the local "sodas" (roadside restaurant) with no hesitation. Street food is one of our favorites. Tamarindo feels like family.

Here's a story to explain. Our first visit in 2016, we booked an excursion through a local surf shop. The Rincon de la Vieja tour. Sergio was our guide. 2.5 years later we are sitting at a beach side restaurant the day we flew in. My husband and youngest walk out to the water, and a man approaches. Aaron is already prepared with the "no gracias" reply when the man says, "Mr. Zimmer I did not know you were in town when did you arrive?" What? Our guide Sergio. We've now gone on several #adventureswithsergio and he feels like family. One of many stories where we see familiar faces and the connection is there.

I would love to host you and your family in our villa. CR/Tamarindo has become our second family, and we consider them "familia". We can connect you with people we see and visit each time we are in town. Let us know how we can introduce you to more of our family <3
