Casa Papaya was the perfect location for our family of 9, ages 4 to 80! It exceeded all of our expectations, was larger and more stunning than the pictures could capture. The house was so accessible to town and the beach. We are already planning our next vacation back as we've coined it the perfect vacation ever!!!

My family and I spent 9 days at Casa Papaya and couldn't have been any happier. The location was perfect and we were able to rent a golf cart to get around town. We really enjoyed our time in Tamarindo and would definetely rent this home again. The management team was very helpful in helping us with airport transportation and was very quick to respond.

Perfect place for 2 families. Especially appreciated the yoga mats and boogie boards. Th golf cart rental was a necessity and even better if the house had one! Communication was always great and there was not a thing we needed that wasn’t available. Thank you!

Excellent stay! Manager Brian was extremely responsive and helpful. Staff were magical, cleaning without being intrusive. View and space of master suite was beautiful. We rented golf carts, but the location is central enough you could get by without them. Birds, monkeys, iguanas all in a private paradise. Would absolutely stay again!

We absolutely loved staying here, it was close to everything we needed to be close to and very close to the main strip of town. We loved the pool and felt we had everything we needed at the house to ensure a great vacation! Highly recommend to a big (8-10) group of people!

This is an amazing place to stay for a large group staying in Tamarindo. This was the second time we’ve stayed here. We love having a private place but close to town. This property offers everything you need from comfortable bedrooms, cooking needs and private pool.

Casa Papaya is Amazing

Incredible house with multiple balconies, big rooms, comfortable beds, and an unreal pool with a waterfall! The house is huge, extremely well cared for and the service was amazing. Best vacation rental we’ve ever stayed in. The surfing there is awesome! We couldn’t be more grateful for the opportunity to stay at Casa Papaya!

Pictures don't do it justice.

Such an amazing property. It's really hard to do it justice with pictures, but our group agreed it was hands down the best place we'd ever stayed. The location was also perfect for heading out and checking out all tamarindo had to offer.

A slice of paradise!

We loved everything about our stay. Our favorite things were the jacuzzi on the balcony, pool oasis outside, and the location! We could walk everywhere in a few minutes. We really loved having morning coffee while watching the neighborhood Monkeys and squirrels

Excellent Stay with Great Pool Area

Very nice home that was as advertised. Great communication with property manager and friendly staff. Helpful guidance on tours and restaurants in advance. We spent lots of time in the well landscaped back yard and pool. The home is well located for town, the beach and a grocery store. We rented a golf cart and would recommend that to anyone that does not want to walk on uneven, unpaved roads at night.
